ARTICLE 4
CONVERSION FEES AND COMPONENT COSTS
4.1 First Year Pricing
The tiered Price and annual stability Price for the Products for the first Year are listed in Schedules B and C and are subject to the adjustments set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3.
4.2 Price Adjustments - Subsequent Years' Pricing.
After the first Year of the Agreement, Patheon may adjust the Price effective January 1sL of each Year as follows:
(a) Manufacturing Costs. Patheon may adjust the Price for inflation, based upon the preliminary number for any change in the Producer Price Index pcu325412325412 for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (“PPl”) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics in August of the preceding Year compared to the final number for the same month of the Year prior to that, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the calculation for the inflation adjustment to be applied in calculating the Price for the next Year.
(b) Component Costs. If Patheon incurs an increase or decrease in Component costs during the Year, it may adjust the Price for the next Year to pass through the change in the Component costs. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client information about the change in Component costs which will be applied to the calculation of the Price for the next Year to reasonably demonstrate that the Price adjustment is justified. But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that Is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.
(c) Pricing Basis. Client acknowledges that the Price in any Year is quoted based upon the Minimum Run Quantity and the price tiers specified in Schedule B. The Price is subject to change if the specified Minimum Run Quantity changes or If the minimum Annual Volume in the lowest tier is not ordered in a Year. For greater certainty, If Patheon and Client agree that the Minimum Run Quantity will be reduced or the minimum Annual Volume in the lowest tier will not be ordered in a Year whether as a result of a decrease in estimated annual volume or otherwise and, as a result of the reduction, Patheon demonstrates to Client that its costs to perform the Manufacturing Services and to acquire the Materials for the Product will increase on a per unit basis (including the amount of the increase), then Patheon may increase the Price by an amount sufficient to absorb the documented increased costs. On or about November 1 of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the information to be applied in calculating those cost increases for the next Year. But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.
(d) Adjustments Due to Currency Fluctuations. Patheon will adjust the Price for all Product that Is manufactured outside the United States or Puerto Rico to reflect currency fluctuations. The adjustment will be calculated after all other annual Price adjustments under this Section 4.2 have been made. The adjustment will proportionately reflect the increase or decrease, If any, in the Set Exchange Rate compared to the Set Exchange Rate established for the prior Year or the Initial Set Exchange Rate, as the case may be. An example of the calculation of the price adjustment Is set forth in Schedule G.
8
For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to Client on or about November 1st of each Year a revised Schedule B to be effective for the next Year.
4.3 Price Adjustments - Current Year Pricing.
During any Year of this Agreement, the Prices will be adjusted as follows:
Extraordinary Changes jn Component Costs. If, at any time, market conditions result in Patheon's cost of Components being materially different than normal forecasted changes, then Patheon or Client will be entitled to an adjustment to the Price for any affected Product to compensate It for the change in Component costs. Changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases will have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component changes by [****] of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent fee quote was based; or (II) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product changes by [****] of the total Component costs for the Product upon which the most recent fee quote was based. If Component costs have been previously adjusted to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments set out in (I) and (ii) above will operate based on the last cost adjustment for the Components.
For a Price adjustment under this Section 4.3, Patheon will deliver to Client a revised Schedule B and budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documents reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified. Patheon will have no obligation to deliver any supporting documents that are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. The revised Price will be effective for any Product delivered on or after the first day of the month following Client's receipt of the revised Schedule B.
4.4 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.
Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Client will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to Client and Patheon reaching agreement on Price changes required because of the amendment. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement or the Manufacturing Site requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, the approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If Client accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the Specifications will be implemented, and the Price change will become effective, only for those orders of Products that are manufactured under the revised Specifications. In addition, Client agrees to purchase, at Patheon's cost (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Inventory), all Inventory used under the “old" Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2, if the Inventory can no longer be used under the revised Specifications. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specifications that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2 will be cancelled where possible, and If the orders may not be cancelled without penalty, will be assigned to and satisfied by Client.

ARTICLE 5
ORDERS, SHIPMENT, INVOICING, PAYMENT
5.1 Orders and Forecasts.
(a) Rolling 18 Month Forecast. When this Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding 1B month Forecast of the volume of Product that Client expects to order in the first 18 months of commercial manufacture of the Product (the "Forecast”). This Forecast will then be updated by Client on or before the 101h day of each month on a rolling forward basis. Client will update the Forecast forthwith if it determines that the volumes estimated in the most recent Forecast have changed by more than 20%. The most recent 1B month Forecast will prevail. Patheon acknowledges and agrees that it will make every effort to ensure that it has adequate capacity to fulfill Client's requirements under the Forecast.
(b) Firm Orders for Initial Manufacturing Month. At least three months before the start of commercial manufacture of the Product, Client will update the rolling forecast for the first three months of manufacture of the Product (the "Initial Manufacturing Period”). The first month of this updated forecast ("Initial Manufacturing Month") will constitute a final written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise ("First Firm Order") by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture the quantity of the Product. [****].
(c) Firm Orders Thereafter. After the Initial Manufacturing Month, on a rolling basis during the term of this Agreement, and on or before the 10th day of each month, Client will issue an updated 1B month forecast and the first three months of that updated forecast will constitute a firm written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise ("Firm Order") by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture and deliver the agreed quantity of the Products on a date not less than three months from the first day of the month Immediately following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Finn Orders submitted to Patheon will specify Client's Manufacturing Services purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule, and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely manufacture and shipment of the Products. The quantities of Products ordered in those written orders will be firm and binding on Client and may not be reduced by Client.
(d) Three Year Forecast. On or before the 10th day of June of each Year, Client will give Patheon a written non-binding three year forecast, broken down by quarters for the second and third years of the forecast, of the volume of each Product Client then anticipates will be required to be manufactured and delivered to Client during the three year period.
5.2 Reliance by Patheon.
(a) Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted under Sections 5.1(a), (b), and (c) in ordering the Components required to meet the Firm Orders. In addition, Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of the Components, Patheon may want to purchase the Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.1(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Client. Accordingly, Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the first six months contemplated in the most recent forecast given by Client under Section 5.1(a). Patheon may make other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services requirements for longer periods If agreed to in writing by the parties. The Client will give Patheon written authorization to order Components for any launch quantities of Product requested by Client which will be considered a Finn Order when accepted by Patheon. If Components ordered by Patheon under Firm Orders or this Section 5.2 are not included in finished Products manufactured for Client within six (6) months after the forecasted month for which the purchases have been made (or for a longer period as the parties may agree) or if the Components have expired during the period, then Client will pay to Patheon its costs therefor (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Components).

ARTICLE 6
PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS
6.1 Product Claims.
(a) Product Claims. Client has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws without invalidating any remainder of the shipment. Client will inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt and will give Patheon written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws within 30 days after Client's receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within 30 days after discovery by Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product). Should Client fail to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable 30 day period, then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Client on the 30" day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Except as set out in Section 6.3, Patheon will have no liability for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable 30 day period.
(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have ten days to advise Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of the Deficiency Notice. If Client and Patheon fall to agree within ten days after Patheon's notice to Client as to whether any Products Identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, then the parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate If the Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws. This evaluation will be binding on the parties. If the evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Client may reject those Products in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1 and Patheon will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation. If the evaluation does not so certify for any of the Products, then Client will be deemed to have accepted delivery of the Products on the 40th day after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, on the 40th day after discovery thereof by Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product) and Client will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation.
6.2 Product Recalls and Returns.
(a) Records and Notice. Patheon and Client will each maintain records necessary to permit a Recall of any Products delivered to Client or customers of Client. Each party will promptly notify the other by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information which might affect the marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Products or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Products. Upon receiving this notice or upon this discovery, each party will stop making any further shipments of any Products in its possession or control until a decision has been made whether a Recall or some other corrective action is necessary. The decision to initiate a Recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, will be made and implemented by Client. "Recall" will mean any action (I) by Client to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Products sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Products from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Products. Recall will also
12
include any action by either Party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Products to third parties which would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped.
(b) Recalls. If (I) any governmental or regulatory authority Issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert about a Product, a written request that any Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders a Recall, or (Ill) Client determines that any Product should be Recalled or that a "Dear Doctor" letter Is required relating the restrictions on the use of any Product, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by Client, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.
(c) Product Returns. Client will have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. Patheon will give Client any assistance that Client may reasonably require to handle the returns.
6.3 Patheon's Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products.
(a) Defective Product. If Client rejects Products under Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to have arisen from Patheon's failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws, Patheon will credit Client's account for Patheon's invoice price for the defective Products. If Client previously paid for the defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at Client's election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for the defective Products; (ii) offset the amount paid against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (Iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without Client being liable for payment therefore under Section 3.1. contingent upon Patheon being able to obtain from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products.
(b) Recalled Product. If a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws, Patheon will be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Recall or return and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products, contingent upon Patheon being able to obtain from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. If Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Products (except where this inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials), then Client may request Patheon to reimburse Client for the price that Client paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected Products. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns, or other corrective actions will be made at Client’s cost and expense.
(c) Except as set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) above, Patheon will not be able to Client nor have any responsibility to Client for any deficiencies in, or other liabilities associated with, any Product manufactured by it, (collectively, "Product Claims"). For greater certainty, Patheon will have no obligation for any Product Claims to the extent the Product Claim (i) is caused by deficiencies in the Specifications, the safety, efficacy, or marketability of the Products or any distribution thereof, (ii) results from a defect in a Component that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications, (ill) results from a defect in the Components supplied by Client that Is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications, (Iv) is caused by actions of third parties occurring after the Product is shipped by Patheon under Section 5.4, (v) is due to packaging design or labelling defects or omissions for which Patheon has no responsibility, (vi) is due to any unascertainable reason despite Patheon having performed the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMP's, and Applicable Laws, or (vii) Is due to any other breach by Client of Its obligations under this Agreement.
13
6.4 Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products.
Client will not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products for which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon's prior written authorization to do so. Alternatively, Patheon may instruct Client to return the Products to Patheon as Patheon's own expense. Patheon will bear the cost of disposition for any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products for which it bears responsibility under Section 6.3. In all other circumstances, Client will bear the cost of disposition, including all applicable fees for Manufacturing Services, for any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products.

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO MANUFACTURING SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT (the "Amendment") to the Manufacturing Services Agreement is entered into as of June 2, 2011 by and among Patheon Inc., a Canadian corporation ("Patheon"), having its principal office at 2100 Syntex Court, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, L5N 7K9, and lroko Pharmaceuticals LLC ("lroko"), having a principal office at One Crescent Drive, Suite 400, Philadelphia, PA 19112, USA.

WHEREAS the parties hereto wish to further amend the Agreement in order to provide for the qualification of a new source of lndomethacin USP from [****];
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree that the Agreement is amended as follows:
1. A new Schedule C-3 is added to the Agreement as attached hereto.
Except as set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the term thereof. In the event of any conflict between this Amendment and the Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall control.

SCHEDULE C-3
QUALIFICATION OF NEW [****] INDOMETHACIN API SOURCE
Project
This change of scope describes development activities to be performed for lroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC ("Client") by Patheon Inc. ("Patheon") under the terms and conditions of Technology Transfer Agreement IRO-FW01-0900-0109-R2 by and between Patheon and the Client which is hereby revised to include this change of scope in its entirety.
Due to the fact that there is only a limited remaining supply of indomethacin USP (the active pharmaceutical ingredient in lndocin Oral Suspension), from the current supplier (Merck), lroko has sourced a replacement. The existing supplies of Merck API expire in Nov 2012. lroko has selected material manufactured by [****] as a suitable replacement.
Patheon will purchase sufficient quantities of 3 distinct batches of [****] API for use in (1) the qualification of all methods necessary to test and release the API and (2) to manufacture 3 batches of lndocin Oral Suspension (qualification batches) for a stability study. The data generated from the stability study will be used in support of the FDA filing for this new API source. An API cost [****] per kg is assumed in this proposal.
Current commercial manufacturing and packaging processes are assumed however the revised unit pricing (see tables below) will apply due to the increased API cost (as compared to current assumed Merck API costs). Unit pricing includes manufacturing, packaging and release testing. There will be an up-charge for validation testing (above and beyond routine commercial release testing) during the manufacturing of these qualification batches.
