WHEREAS, the Executive possesses unique personal knowledge, experience and expertise;

WHEREAS, effective as of March 27, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Company desires to employ the Executive, and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement as to the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company effective as of the Effective Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.1    Term of Employment. The Executive’s initial term of employment under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), unless further extended or earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement. This Agreement will automatically be renewed for single one-year periods unless written notice of non-renewal (a “Non-Renewal Notice”) is provided by either party at least 90 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the successive one-year period then in effect or unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement. Neither non-renewal of this Agreement for additional periods after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, nor expiration of this Agreement as a result of such non-renewal, shall, by itself, result in termination of the Executive’s employment. The period of time between the Effective Date and the

termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement or the expiration of this Agreement, whichever is earlier, shall be referred to herein as the “Term.”

1.2    General.

1.2.1    During the Term, the Executive shall have the titles of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall have general supervision of all of the departments and business of the Company and shall prescribe the duties of all other officers and employees of the Company and such other authorities, duties and responsibilities as are prescribed by the Company’s bylaws and as may from time to time be delegated to him by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Executive shall faithfully and diligently discharge his duties hereunder and use his best efforts to implement the policies established by the Board from time to time. During the Term, the Executive shall be the highest ranking executive of the Company and no other officer will be appointed with authority over the Executive, and the Executive shall report directly to the Board.

1.2.2    The Executive shall devote all of his business time, attention, knowledge and skills faithfully, diligently and to the best of his ability, in furtherance of the business and activities of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from devoting reasonable periods of time required for:

(i)serving as a director or member of a committee, in each case, in a non-lead, non-chair role, of up to two (2) publicly traded corporations and up to one (1) private organization or corporation, in each case, that does not, in the good faith determination of the Board, compete with the Company or otherwise create, or could create, in the good faith determination of the Board, a conflict of interest with the business of the Company;

(ii)delivering lectures, fulfilling speaking engagements, and any writing or publication relating to his area of expertise; provided, however, that any fees, royalties or honorariums received therefrom shall be promptly turned over to the Company;

(iii)engaging in professional organization and program activities;

(iv)managing his personal passive investments and affairs; and

(v)participating in charitable or community affairs;

provided that such activities do not materially, individually or in the aggregate, interfere with the due performance of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or create a conflict of interest with the business of the Company, as determined in good faith by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted to continue to serve on the boards of directors upon which he serves as of the Effective Date, provided, that he takes all reasonably necessary actions to terminate any such service that violates this Section 1.2.1 on or prior to the three-month anniversary of the Effective Date and, in the interim, shall cooperate with the Board to limit any interference, conflict or violation. The Company represents that, based on current facts and circumstances, for the purposes of this Section 1.2 and Section 6.3, the Company acknowledges and accepts the Executive’s service on the boards of directors of Allergan plc and Zoetis, Inc.

1.2.3    The Executive shall obtain a comprehensive medical examination every two years during the Term, and the Company shall reimburse the Executive the cost thereof to the extent not reimbursed by health insurance.

1.2.4    The Board shall appoint the Executive as a member of the Board no later than the first regularly scheduled meeting of the Board following the Executive’s commencement of employment. At or prior to such meeting, the Board shall amend the Company’s bylaws to increase the number of authorized directors to nine. Thereafter, during the Term, at each applicable annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Board shall nominate and recommend the election of the Executive by the Company’s stockholders as a director. Upon Termination for any reason under this Agreement or upon the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, the Executive shall resign immediately upon request of the Board from all officer and director positions held by him with the Company and its affiliates.

1.3    Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Term, the Company shall pay the reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder, including, without

limitation, those incurred in connection with business related travel (including, in the discretion of Executive, first class or business class travel), or entertainment, or, if such expenses are paid directly by the Executive, the Company shall promptly reimburse him for such payments, provided that the Executive properly accounts for such expenses in accordance with the Company’s business expense reimbursement policy. To the extent any such reimbursements (and any other reimbursements of costs and expenses provided for herein) are includable in the Executive’s gross income for Federal income tax purposes, all such reimbursements shall be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed are incurred.

2.1    Base Salary. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a base salary at the annual rate of $850,000, subject to increase, or decrease, only if salary decreases are concurrently implemented across the senior executives of the Company, as determined by the Board or its Compensation Committee from time to time in its discretion, payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company (the “Base Salary”).

2.2    Incentive Bonuses. In addition to the Base Salary, during the Term the Executive shall participate in the Company’s management bonus program whereby the Executive will be eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus based upon a percentage of the Base Salary and attainment of goals established in writing by the Board or its Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year (the “Incentive Bonus”) for each completed calendar year (subject to Section 4.4 hereof) of service with the Company. Such bonus shall be paid within 2-1/2 months following the end of the calendar year to which it relates, subject to Executive’s continuous employment through the last day of the calendar year to which such bonus relates. The Executive’s Incentive Bonus for 2017 (targeted at a minimum of 100% of the Base Salary and potentially up to 150% of the Base Salary depending upon the achievement of certain business and individual objectives and criteria) will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed in the year before and after the Effective Date.

2.3    Stock Option Award. Subject to approval by the Board, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Company shall grant to the Executive an option (the “Option”) to purchase 850,000 shares of Company common stock under, or on substantially the same terms as, its Third Amended and Restated 2002 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). The Option shall have an exercise price per share equal to the closing trading price of Company common stock on the date of grant. The Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares subject to the Option on each of the first four anniversaries of the Effective Date, in each case, subject to Executive’s continued employment to the Company through the applicable vesting date. The Option will otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Company’s standard form of stock option agreement or terms and conditions substantially similar thereto. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive such other grants of equity awards in such amounts and subject to such terms as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

2.5    Additional Compensation. During the Term, in addition to the foregoing, the Executive shall be eligible to receive such other compensation as may from time to time be awarded him by either the Board or the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to paid time off generally made available to executive personnel of the Company and to participate in and have the benefit of all group life, disability, hospital, surgical and major medical insurance plans and programs and other employee benefit plans and programs as generally are made available to executive personnel of the Company, as such benefit plans or programs may be amended or terminated in the sole discretion of the Board and with the concurrence of the Compensation Committee, from time to time. The Executive shall accrue up to twenty (20) days paid time off each calendar year which will accrue in accordance with the Company’s Paid Time Off (PTO) & Holiday Policy.

The Company shall timely use its reasonable business efforts to amend any plan or program in which the Executive participates to bring it in compliance with Code Section 409A.

8.10.2    Separation from Service; Six-Month Delay. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “resignation,” “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service. If the Executive is deemed on the Date of Termination to be a “specified employee,” within the meaning of that term under Section (a)(2)(B) of Code Section 409A (“Code Section 409(a)(2)(B)”)and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology, then with regard to any payment, the providing of any benefit or any distribution of equity made subject to this Section 8.10.2, to the extent required to be delayed in compliance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), and any other payment, the provision of any other benefit or any other distribution of equity that is required to be delayed in compliance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), such payment, benefit or distribution shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death. On the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, on the date of his death, (x) all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 8.10.2 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein and (y) all distributions of equity delayed pursuant to this Section 8.10.2 shall be made to the Executive. In addition

to the foregoing, to the extent required by Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), prior to the occurrence of both a Disability termination as provided in Section 4.1.2 hereof and the Executive’s becoming “disabled” under Code Section 409A, the payment of any compensation to the Executive under this Agreement shall be suspended for a period of six months commencing at such time that the Executive shall be deemed to have had a Separation from Service because either (A) a sick leave ceases to be a bona fide sick leave of absence, or (B) the permitted time period for a sick leave of absence expires (an “SFS Disability”), without regard to whether such SFS Disability actually results in a Disability termination. Promptly following the expiration of such six-month period, all compensation suspended pursuant to the foregoing sentence (whether it would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such suspension) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum. On any delayed payment date under this Section 8.10.2, there shall be paid to the Executive or, if the Executive has died, to his estate, in a single cash lump sum together with the payment of such delayed payment, interest on the aggregate amount of such delayed payment at the Delayed Payment Interest Rate (as defined below) computed from the date on which such delayed payment otherwise would have been made to the Executive until the date paid.

8.10.3    Expense Reimbursement. With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder solely because such expenses are subject to a limit

related to the period the arrangement is in effect and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.

8.11    Survivorship. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, upon the expiration of the Term, the respective rights and obligations of the parties shall survive such expiration to the extent necessary to carry out the intentions of the parties as embodied in this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in effect until there are no further rights or obligations of the parties outstanding hereunder and shall not be terminated by either party without the express prior written consent of both parties.

8.12    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by electronic transmission) which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement of the parties.

8.13    Company Representations. The Company represents and warrants to the Executive that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (and the agreements referred to herein) by the Company has been fully and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, (ii) the officer or director signing this Agreement on behalf of the Company is duly authorized to do so, (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not violate any applicable law, regulation, order, judgment or decree or any agreement, plan or corporate governance document to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound and (iv) upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive and the Company, it shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

This Release shall not apply to (i) the Executive’s rights to indemnification from the Company, if any, or rights, if any, to be covered under any applicable insurance policy with respect to any liability the Executive incurred or might incur as an employee, officer or director of the Company including, without limitation, the Executive’s rights under Section 7 of the Employment Agreement; or (ii) any right the Executive may have to obtain contribution as permitted by law in the event of entry of judgment against the Executive as a result of any act or failure to act for which the Executive, on the one hand, and Company or any other Releasee, on the other hand, are jointly liable.

The Executive waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, to the extent applicable, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

The Executive hereby acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is an essential and material term of this Release.

7.    Continuing Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Release, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that he remains subject to the provisions of Section 6 of the Employment Agreement and the Employee Invention and Proprietary Information Agreement (“Invention Agreement”), both of which shall remain in full force and effect for the periods set forth therein and are deemed part of this Release. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has made a diligent search for any Company property in his possession or control and that he has returned all such property to the Company. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any action for injunctive relief brought for claims arising out of Section 6 of the Employment Agreement or the Invention Agreement, as well as any related claims for

trade secret misappropriation, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, or other related business tort claims, shall be brought exclusively in Delaware state court or Delaware federal court. The Executive shall submit to and accept the exclusive jurisdiction of such suit, legal action, or proceeding in Delaware state court or Delaware federal court. The Executive acknowledges and agrees to accept personal jurisdiction in Delaware and also acknowledges and agrees not to challenge the mandatory Delaware forum on any grounds whatsoever, including lack of jurisdiction or forum non-conveniens.

8.    No Claims. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that there are no claims or actions currently filed or pending relating to the subject matter of the Release, the Employment Agreement, or any Released Claims. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive will not file or permit to be filed on the Executive’s behalf any such claims or actions. The Executive hereby requests all administrative agencies having jurisdiction over employment and labor law matters and courts to honor the Executive’s release of claims under this Release. Should the Company ever request the Executive to execute any administrative dismissal forms, the Executive shall immediately execute the form and return it to the Company. Should the Executive file any claim or action relating to the subject matter of this Release, the Employment Agreement, or any Released Claims, such filing shall be considered an intentional breach of the Release and the Executive will be subject, among other rights Company may have, to all damages and costs available under law and equity, including without limitation, the amount of consideration paid hereunder. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Executive has not failed to report any work-related occupational injuries or diseases arising out of or in the course of employment with the Company.

9.    No Admission. This Release does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing of any kind by the Company or any other Releasee. This Release is not intended, and shall not be construed, as an admission that any Releasee has violated any federal, state or local law (statutory or decisional), ordinance or regulation, breached any contract or committed any wrong whatsoever against any Releasor.

10.    Heirs and Assigns. The terms of this Release shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.    Miscellaneous. This Release will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. If any provision of this Release is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall have no effect; however, the remaining provisions will be enforced to the maximum extent possible. The parties acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise set forth herein, this Release constitutes the entire agreement and complete understanding of the parties with regard to the matters set forth herein and, except as otherwise set forth in this Release, supersedes any and all agreements (including without limitation the Employment Agreement), understandings, and discussions, whether written or oral, between the parties. No other promises or agreements are binding unless in writing and signed by each of the Parties after the Release Effective Date (as defined below). Should any provision of this Release require interpretation or construction, it is agreed by the Parties that the entity interpreting or constructing this Release shall not apply a presumption against one party by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Party who prepared the document. The Parties agree to bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs with respect to this Release.

12.    Knowing and Voluntary Waiver.

13.    Effective Time of Release. The Executive may accept this Release by signing it and delivering it to the Company as provided in Section 15 of this Release within 21 days of his receipt hereof. After executing this Release, the Executive will have seven calendar days (the “Revocation Period”) to revoke this Release by indicating his desire to do so in writing delivered to the Company as provided in Section 15 of this Release by no later than 12:00 p.m. EST on the seventh calendar day following the date on which he executes and delivers this Release. The effective date of this Release shall be the eighth day after the Executive executes and delivers this Release (the “Release Effective Date”). If the last day of the Revocation Period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the last day of the Revocation Period will be deemed to be the next business day. If the Executive does not execute this Release or exercises his right to revoke hereunder, he shall forfeit his right to receive any of the Termination Benefits set forth in Section 3 above and any other payments or benefits referenced in this Release with the sole exception of the Amounts and Benefits, and to the extent such Termination Benefits have already been provided, the Executive agrees that he will immediately reimburse the Company for the amounts of such payment.

14.    Confidentiality. The provisions of this Release shall be held in strictest confidence by the Executive. The Executive shall not publicize or disclose it in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that the Executive may disclose this Release in confidence to his immediate family, attorney, accountant, tax preparer, and financial advisor and the Executive may also disclose this Release insofar as such disclosure may be necessary to enforce its terms or as otherwise required by law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a breach of this Section 14, the Company’s remedies shall be injunctive relief and all damages caused proximately by such breach. In any legal action (including arbitration) the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. The Company may at its option withhold payments otherwise due under this Release (with the sole exception of the Amounts and

Benefits) pending the resolution of any legal action (including arbitration) in which the breach of this Section 14 is being disputed. Ultimately, however, the remedies for a breach hereunder shall be limited as provided in this Section.

15.    Notices. All notices or communications hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be addressed and delivered as follows (or to such other address as either Party may have furnished to the other in writing by like notice): (a) To the Company: Impax Laboratories, Inc., 31047 Genstar Road, Hayward, CA 94544, Attn: Vice President of Human Resources, (b) To the Executive: [ ], _________________________.

16.    Breach of Release. Excluding the Executive’s duty of confidentiality, the breach of which shall be exclusively governed by Section 14 hereof, if the Executive violates any of his obligations under this Release, then the Company may at its option terminate the Executive’s rights to any and all Termination Benefits under Section 3 or any other payments or benefits referenced in this Release (with the sole exception of the Amounts and Benefits); provided, however, the Company may, in addition to any other rights it may have and in accordance with applicable law, demand a monetary payment equal to all Termination Benefits and other payments and benefits received by the Executive or any other payments or benefits referenced in this Release (with the sole exception of the Amounts and Benefits) and the Executive agrees to make such payment promptly upon such demand. In the event that the Company

alleges that the Executive breached the Release, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorney fees.

17.    Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Parties hereby agree that any and all claims, disputes, demands, or controversies of any nature whatsoever arising out of, or relating to, this Release, or its interpretation, enforcement, breach, performance or execution, the Executive’s employment with the Company, or the termination of such employment, including but not limited to any statutory claims, shall be resolved, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration in Delaware (applying Delaware law) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Procedures of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties thereto. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with any such arbitration and regardless of outcome: (a) each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including without limitation its own legal fees and expenses, and (b) joint expenses shall be born equally among the parties. EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. Nothing in this Release is intended to prevent either the Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any arbitration, including but not limited to injunctive relief sought pursuant to Section 7 of this Release.
