8.   Financial Advisory Services Agreement, dated August 22, 1997 and revised July 17, 2000, as may be amended from time to time.

     Prior to the acquisition of Algos Pharmaceutical Corporation in July 2000, we had a pre-existing agreement with Kelso to:

 


 

  pay Kelso an annual fee of $347,000 for financial advisory services,
 
  indemnify Kelso in providing its services, and
 
  reimburse Kelso for out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

     In connection with the completion of the Algos acquisition, we terminated this agreement to pay an annual fee to Kelso by making a one-time payment to Kelso of $1.5 million in July 2000. However, the arrangements for indemnification and reimbursement of specific expenses survived the termination of this annual fee arrangement. Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Wahrhaftig, two of our directors, are Managing Directors of Kelso. Mr. Loverrro, and another director of the Company, is a Vice President of Kelso.

9.   Kelso Side Letter, dated November 26, 1999, as may be amended from time to time.

     Kelso Investment Associates V, L.P. and Kelso Equity Partners, V, L.P., which were our majority stockholders prior to the merger with Algos, agreed in a binding letter agreement with Algos and us, dated November 26, 1999, that, until July 17, 2002, they will not, and will not permit any of their affiliates to which they have transferred any of their shares of common stock, including Endo Pharma LLC to, sell their shares except pursuant to:

  (a)   Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
 
  (b)   an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act,
 
  (c)   privately negotiated sales to any person or group of affiliated persons that do not aggregate more than 5.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock at the time of the sale,
 
  (d)   a transaction in which all of our stockholders are permitted to participate on equal economic terms and on a pro rata basis in accordance with their ownership, or
 
  (e)   any transfer, sale or distribution to any affiliate of these Kelso entities.

     In addition, these parties agreed that, until July 17, 2002, they would not engage in any transaction that would be a “going private” transaction within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, unless the holders of the majority of the then outstanding common stock not affiliated with either of these Kelso entities have approved the transaction by a vote or other action.
