Page 6 of 52

Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, COMPANY hereby accepts such licence and confirms that COMPANY and its AFFILIATES [ * ] during the Initial Period and for one year thereafter. Should COMPANY [ * ] in the countries of the European Union and/or in the European Economic Area, ELAN reserves the right to [ * ].

COMPANY shall remain the sole owner of all COMPANY PATENT RIGHTS and COMPANY KNOW-HOW. ELAN shall remain the sole owner of all ELAN PATENT RIGHTS and ELAN KNOW-HOW.

ELAN shall be entitled to use the ELAN PATENT RIGHTS and ELAN KNOW-HOW, including all improvements and other intellectual property thereto, generated by ELAN pursuant to this Agreement in connection with [ * ], and in connection with [ * ] or following termination of this Agreement.

COMPANY shall market the PRODUCT in the TERRITORY under COMPANY’s trademark.

COMPANY shall submit copies of all trade package cartons and labels and other printed materials to ELAN once commercial sale of the PRODUCT commences. When packaged, and to the extent permitted by law, a product label shall include an acknowledgement that the PRODUCT is made under licence from ELAN. Such acknowledgement shall take into consideration regulatory requirements and COMPANY’s commercial requirements. COMPANY shall wherever possible give due acknowledgement and recognition to ELAN in all printed promotional and other material regarding the PRODUCT such as stating that the PRODUCT is manufactured by, ELAN.

Where appropriate, COMPANY shall mark or have marked the patent number on all PRODUCT labelling, or otherwise reasonably communicate to the trade concerning the existence of any ELAN PATENT RIGHTS for the countries within the TERRITORY in such a manner as to ensure compliance with, and enforceability under, applicable laws.

For the avoidance of doubt, ELAN acknowledges that it has exclusively licensed the ELAN PATENT RIGHTS and ELAN KNOW-HOW to COMPANY to have manufactured, package, use and sell the PRODUCT as a prescription medicine in the TERRITORY. This exclusivity shall not restrict ELAN from licensing any other product containing the COMPOUND which is not a [ * ] solid oral dosage form of the COMPOUND or any [ * ]. In the event that ELAN subsequently develops a product containing the COMPOUND (“Developed Product”) in accordance with this paragraph and intends to licence the Developed Product to a third party, then subject to any pre-existing contractual obligations, ELAN shall

Page 7 of 52

grant to COMPANY a right of first refusal to licence such Developed Product for a licence royalty to be negotiated. Said right of first refusal shall expire [ * ] days after the Developed Product has been offered to COMPANY. Subject to any confidentiality restraints, ELAN shall notify COMPANY in the event that ELAN commences development of any other product containing the COMPOUND during the term of this Agreement. In the event that ELAN acquires or merges with a third party entity, this provision [ * ] by the said third party entity.

COMPANY shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of such sub-licensees as though such acts and omissions were by COMPANY.

10.

Any sub-license permitted by Article II, paragraph 9 shall automatically and immediately terminate if the country or countries for which the sub-licensee has rights are terminated in accordance with this Agreement (so that a sub-license shall only terminate for such country or countries if the Agreement has been terminated for the country or countries concerned). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that any such sub-license agreement shall not be capable of surviving the termination of this Agreement and that [ * ] by the sub-licensee shall be included [ * ], whether under paragraph [ * ] of this Agreement. COMPANY shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that ELAN shall have the same rights of audit and inspection vis a vis a sub-licensee, as ELAN has pursuant to this Agreement concerning COMPANY.

Licence to ELAN

11.

In the event that COMPANY

11.1.

exercises its right to terminate the PROJECT in accordance with Article III, paragraph 4 or Article XII, paragraph 5.3.; or

11.2.

Page 8 of 52

11.4.

notifies ELAN that it does not wish to commercialise the PRODUCT in any country of the TERRITORY;

then, ELAN shall have the right to terminate the licence granted to COMPANY pursuant to Article II, paragraph 1 for the whole of the TERRITORY (pursuant to paragraph 11.1.) or for any such country or countries of the TERRITORY (pursuant to paragraphs 11.2., 11.3. and 11.4.), as appropriate. Thereafter, ELAN shall be entitled to research, develop and commercialise the PRODUCT in the countries of the TERRITORY in which the license has been so terminated. If ELAN should require a licence to the COMPANY PATENT RIGHTS and COMPANY KNOW-HOW in order to research, develop and/or commercialise the PRODUCT in the TERRITORY, COMPANY shall grant ELAN a licence to such COMPANY PATENT RIGHTS and COMPANY KNOW-HOW for a term of [ * ] starting from the date of the launch of the PRODUCT by ELAN or up to the expiration of the life of the last to expire patent included in the COMPANY PATENT RIGHTS, whichever is longer, in consideration of the payment of a royalty by ELAN in accordance with Article V, paragraph 3.7.

12.

ELAN may grant a sub-licence to such COMPANY PATENT RIGHTS and COMPANY KNOW-HOW in one or more countries of the TERRITORY mutatis mutandis with the terms of Article II, paragraphs 9 and 10. In consideration for the royalty which may be payable under Article V, paragraph 3.8., COMPANY shall transfer to ELAN or ELAN’s designee without charge any and all pending or granted NDA APPROVALS for the PRODUCT for such country or countries of the TERRITORY

ARTICLE III: DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRODUCT

ELAN shall develop the PRODUCT in accordance with the PROJECT.

ELAN shall apply its technical skill and expertise, including the ELAN PATENTS and ELAN KNOW-HOW, in the development of the PRODUCT on behalf of COMPANY. However, it is acknowledged that pharmaceutical research and development incorporates inherent risk in terms of outcomes and, save for acts of negligence or omission by ELAN, ELAN shall have no liability to COMPANY as a result of any failure or delay of the PRODUCT to achieve one or more of the milestones set out in the PROJECT and/or to obtain the NDA APPROVAL in one or more of the other countries of the TERRITORY.

ELAN and COMPANY hereby confirm that each shall undertake its respective part of the PROJECT as a collaborative effort and that the provisions of this Agreement requires that each party diligently carries out those tasks assigned to it under the PROJECT and as otherwise agreed during the course of the PROJECT. Each party

Page 9 of 52

shall co-operate with the other in good faith particularly with respect to unknown problems or contingencies and shall perform its obligations in good faith and in a commercially reasonable, diligent and workmanlike manner.

COMPANY may evaluate the reports furnished by ELAN at the end of STAGES I, II and III of the PROJECT for the PRODUCT for the purpose, inter alia, of deciding whether or not to proceed further with the PROJECT for the PRODUCT. COMPANY shall use its reasonable efforts to review the content of the said reports in a timely fashion and shall promptly undertake such discussions it requires with ELAN on the future conduct and direction of subsequent stages of the PROJECT.

Within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Agreement, COMPANY shall impart to ELAN a full package of physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and clinical data regarding the COMPOUND, including the COMPOUND SPECIFICATIONS, and current marketed versions thereof as it might be reasonably expected shall be required by ELAN to successfully undertake the PROJECT. The foregoing data shall include, but shall not be limited to, [ * ]. ELAN shall not be required to commence the PROJECT until it has received such data and information. For the avoidance of doubt, all confidential information disclosed by COMPANY in accordance with this paragraph shall be considered COMPANY KNOW-HOW for the purposes of this Agreement.

For so long as this Agreement is in effect and COMPANY is participating in the PROJECT, COMPANY will supply ELAN with all of ELAN’s requirements of COMPOUND [ * ] to enable ELAN to carry out the PROJECT. For the avoidance of doubt, ELAN shall not be required to commence or to continue with any STAGE of the PROJECT in the event that ELAN is not in receipt of appropriate quantities of the COMPOUND. In such an event, appropriate adjustment will be made by ELAN and COMPANY to extend the time periods set out in paragraphs 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. of Article V for the achievement by ELAN of the tasks set out therein.

With reference to the strict time periods set out in paragraphs 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. of Article V for the achievement of the tasks set out therein by ELAN and the potential financial implications for ELAN in the event that any of such tasks are not achieved within the time period set out in paragraphs 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. of Article V, the parties recognise that the timely supply by COMPANY to ELAN of the information, data, materials and COMPOUND in accordance with Article III on an ongoing basis throughout the PROJECT is fundamental to the successful completion of the PROJECT and to ELAN’s successful attainment of the tasks within the time periods set out in paragraphs 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. of Article V. Accordingly, in addition to the other provisions of Article II, COMPANY shall:-

7.1.

ensure that all information and data, materials and COMPOUND, which are required by ELAN from COMPANY are supplied to ELAN within the timeframe so requested by ELAN and agreed with COMPANY;

Page 10 of 52

7.2.

in the event that there are delays in the supply of any information, data, materials or COMPOUND by COMPANY to ELAN, or delays by any government agency or authority (which delays by any such agency or authority are not attributable to any act or omission of ELAN) which will materially affect ELAN’s ability to achieve the tasks and/or successfully complete the PROJECT within the time schedules set out in paragraphs 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. of Article V, the parties shall agree in good faith an appropriate mechanism to remedy any such delays by COMPANY or any government agency or authority and amend paragraphs 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. of Article V, in particular to extend the dates set out therein for the achievement of the tasks by ELAN to ensure that any such delays by COMPANY or any government agency or authority will not adversely affect the payment of the full amount of any licence royalty to ELAN under paragraphs 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. of Article V.

COMPANY shall inform ELAN as to its choice of initial developmental dosage strengths within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Agreement and ELAN shall promptly inform COMPANY as to the suitability of such dosage strengths for development. Pursuant to the PROJECT, ELAN shall then develop up to [ * ] unit dosage strengths of the PRODUCT after the preferred dosage form (SODAS or HYDAS) has been chosen by COMPANY. In the event that ELAN informs COMPANY that one or more of the dosage strengths is unsuitable for development, the parties shall agree on a suitable alternative dosage strength(s).

In the event that COMPANY wishes to have more than [ * ] dosage strengths developed pursuant to this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate in good faith as to the additional costs to be paid to ELAN for such development and such amendments as are required to the PROJECT and the timeframe for the PROJECT, including the time periods set out in paragraphs 2.1.2. and 2.1.3. of Article V. The parties agree that ELAN’s charges to COMPANY for any such work shall be as set out in Article V, paragraph 4 of the Agreement.

10.

ELAN shall conduct the pilot and pivotal Phase I pharmacokinetic studies and associated bio- and statistical analysis in human volunteers in accordance with the PROJECT [ * ]. The design [ * ] of such studies and associated analytical testing shall be as set out in the PROJECT, provided however, that the [ * ] of such studies shall [ * ], as appropriate, in the event of a [ * ] of the studies. The design [ * ] of such studies shall be finalised with COMPANY prior to commencement of each such study. The parties agree that [ * ] shall be as set out in [ * ] of the Agreement. ELAN shall furnish a full and detailed report to COMPANY on the results of all such pharmacokinetic studies. [ * ]. ELAN undertakes that it shall carry out all such pharmacokinetic studies to prevailing cGCP and cGLP and most specifically in accordance with FDA standards and guidelines.

Page 11 of 52

11.

COMPANY shall be responsible for carrying out [ * ] the efficacy clinical studies programme in human patients. The objective of the programme so conducted shall be to assist in obtaining NDA APPROVAL. COMPANY agrees to carry out and complete the clinical efficacy programme to an FDA approvable standard and to a standard and timeframe that COMPANY would otherwise find acceptable for one of its major branded products. COMPANY shall keep ELAN informed as to the progress of the studies and on completion, shall impart summary reports on the studies. COMPANY undertakes that it shall carry out all such clinical studies to prevailing cGCP and cGLP and most specifically in accordance with FDA standards and guidelines.

12.

During the PROJECT, the parties shall review and agree on interim specifications for the PRODUCT and shall also agree on the final PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS following the filing of the NDA in the United States of America, which shall at that time be attached to this Agreement as Appendix C. The PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS may thereafter be amended as agreed by the parties or as may otherwise be requested or mandated by the regulatory authorities in the TERRITORY, most specifically the FDA.

13.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby confirm that the primary objective of the PROJECT is to generate the NDA and secure NDA APPROVAL for the PRODUCT in the United States of America. As of the date of this Agreement, it is the parties’ expectation that the body of data so generated in the PROJECT will also be used to support such applications for regulatory approval that COMPANY, its AFFILIATES or permitted sub-licensees shall make in the other countries of the TERRITORY.

14.

In the event however that such expectation proves unfounded or incorrect and further data is required to obtain such other NDA APPROVAL as are pursued by COMPANY in the other countries of the TERRITORY, COMPANY shall determine the viability of proceeding further with the regulatory application and generation of the further data requirements. In the event that COMPANY elects to continue, the parties shall agree on the programme of work to be undertaken to generate such additional data and the apportioning of tasks and costs therefor. COMPANY shall reimburse ELAN for all such additional work which it requires ELAN to carry out in accordance with ELAN’s charges as set out in Article V, paragraph 4 of the Agreement.

ARTICLE IV : SUPPLY OF THE PRODUCT

Except as otherwise herein provided, ELAN shall produce and supply to COMPANY its entire requirements of the PRODUCT. ELAN shall be the sole

Page 12 of 52

and exclusive supplier of the PRODUCT to COMPANY in the TERRITORY and COMPANY will purchase the PRODUCT exclusively from ELAN in the TERRITORY. COMPANY may qualify a second site for the manufacture of PRODUCT for the purposes of Article IV paragraphs 14 and 15.

The PRODUCT to be supplied to COMPANY by ELAN shall be in the form of bulk capsules or tablets (as will be agreed by the parties during the PROJECT) complying with the PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS. ELAN shall deliver the PRODUCT to COMPANY and/or any party designated by COMPANY in proper packaging so as to permit safe storage and transport. COMPANY shall be responsible for the packaging of the PRODUCT into final market packaging, whether such packaging is conducted by COMPANY or by a sub-contractor which it may nominate, but whose final selection will be subject to ELAN’s prior written agreement, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

In the event that ELAN appoints a third party manufacturer, then ELAN shall be solely responsible and liable to COMPANY for the performance of the said manufacturer and ELAN shall ensure that the said manufacturer’s facility is an FDA approved facility and that such facility complies with all relevant FDA and other relevant governmental and regulatory requirements and that all accepted practises of cGMP are adhered to. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in the event ELAN does not itself wish to manufacture the PRODUCT, then it shall offer to COMPANY a production licence as outlined in paragraph 14.1 below first before appointing a third party manufacturer. Should COMPANY decline such production license, then ELAN shall be free to appoint a third party manufacturer for the PRODUCT. The parties confirm that the provisions of Article V paragraph 3.1 shall apply to the sale of PRODUCT manufactured by COMPANY or by a third party manufacturer, whether appointed by ELAN or COMPANY in accordance with this paragraph.

No later than sixty (60) days after the date of filing of the NDA, COMPANY will provide ELAN with a forecast of COMPANY’s requirements for the PRODUCT for the twelve (12) month period following NDA APPROVAL. The said forecast will be updated quarterly until NDA APPROVAL of the PRODUCT. Except as otherwise provided herein, all forecasts made hereunder shall be made to assist ELAN in planning its production and COMPANY in planning marketing and sales. Such forecasts shall not be binding purchase orders, and shall be without prejudice to COMPANY’s subsequent firm orders for the PRODUCT in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The parties acknowledge that it is in their mutual interest that launch of the PRODUCT shall be effected in the United States of America and in the remainder of the TERRITORY on a country by country basis as soon as possible following

Page 13 of 52

NDA APPROVAL, for which purpose the parties shall in advance of the NDA APPROVAL discuss and agree upon the manufacture and purchase of specific quantities of launch stocks of the PRODUCT for commercial sale and promotional sampling (“Launch Stocks”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby confirm that ELAN’s manufacturing obligations shall only arise on receipt of firm purchase orders. ELAN shall deliver the PRODUCT to COMPANY within [ * ] days of the receipt of a firm purchase order. During the period in which ELAN is manufacturing Launch Stocks, the foregoing period of [ * ] days shall be increased to [ * ] days. In any event and notwithstanding any firm purchase orders for such Launch Stocks which COMPANY has already placed with ELAN, COMPANY will notify ELAN within five (5) working days of its receipt from the FDA of an approvable letter, or a pre-approval letter, for the NDA from the FDA. COMPANY will within fifteen (15) days of such notification place a firm purchase order with ELAN for Launch Stocks, unless such a purchase order has already been submitted to ELAN prior to that date. COMPANY will use its reasonable efforts to provide forecasts for deliveries for the balance of the year in which the NDA is approved which it requires in addition to the Launch Stocks.

Within fifteen (15) days of NDA APPROVAL and at the beginning of each calendar month thereafter, COMPANY will provide a rolling month by month forecast for the [ * ] month period beginning on the first day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the forecast is made and the [ * ] of such forecast shall be a binding purchase commitment of COMPANY.

Subject to the agreement of ELAN, the forecasts (other than for Launch Stocks ) shall not vary from [ * ] by more than [ * ] per cent ([ * ]%) in terms of volume of PRODUCT ordered. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, ELAN will use its reasonable efforts to fulfil COMPANY’s requirements in excess of forecasted amounts, but shall not be obliged to meet such requirements if it is not reasonably practicable to do so provided that ELAN shall supply the PRODUCT so ordered but not immediately available as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.

The parties shall agree upon a minimum batch and order size for the manufacture and supply of the PRODUCT.

ELAN [ * ].

10.

All quantities of the PRODUCT delivered by ELAN hereunder shall conform to the PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS and all prevailing legislative and regulatory requirements of the TERRITORY and the country where the PRODUCT is manufactured. ELAN shall furnish the appropriate certificate of analysis with each delivery of PRODUCT. Furthermore, ELAN shall manufacture and supply the PRODUCT and shall provide supporting and accompanying documentation and information in compliance with the QUALITY PROCEDURES.

Page 14 of 52

11.

All claims for failure of any shipment of the PRODUCT to conform to PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS must be made by COMPANY to ELAN in writing within [ * ] following delivery. Failure to make timely claims in the manner prescribed shall constitute acceptance of the shipment except in the case of latent defects. Claims for latent defects, not discovered during the routine testing protocol to be agreed upon by COMPANY and ELAN, shall be made by COMPANY to ELAN in writing within [ * ] days of discovery. PRODUCT which has been delivered and which has been shown within the designated period not to conform to PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS shall be replaced at ELAN’s cost within [ * ] days of the receipt by ELAN of the failed PRODUCT except where such non-conformance is as the result of the supply of defective COMPOUND by COMPANY to ELAN. COMPANY shall bear sole responsibility for all costs associated with the supply of defective COMPOUND to ELAN.

12.

In the event of an unresolved dispute as to conformity of PRODUCT supplied with PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS, the parties shall nominate an independent first class laboratory to undertake the relevant testing. Its findings shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. All costs relating to this process shall be borne exclusively by the unsuccessful party. Should the parties fail to agree upon a mutually acceptable independent laboratory then the [ * ] shall be entrusted with appointing such an independent laboratory.

13.

Save as otherwise agreed between the parties, delivery of consignments of PRODUCT shall be effected by ELAN EX WORKS the manufacturing facility designated by ELAN and all risks therein shall pass to COMPANY when each such consignment of the PRODUCT is loaded onto the vehicle of COMPANY’s agent on which it is to be dispatched from ELAN’s designated facility. COMPANY shall fully insure or procure the insurance of all consignments of the PRODUCT when risk passes as aforesaid and shall produce such insurance documentation supporting same as and when requested by ELAN.

14.

In the event that (i) ELAN fails to supply PRODUCT which has been ordered by COMPANY for a period exceeding [ * ] days from the receipt of a firm purchase order or (ii) there are delays in filling [ * ] successive orders which delays cumulatively exceed [ * ] days when each delay is measured beginning on the [ * ] day from receipt of the corresponding firm purchase order or (iii) there is a shortfall [ * ] successive orders delivered by ELAN which on a cumulative basis, exceeds [ * ] of the total amount of said [ * ] orders; and unless such failure, delay or shortfall is caused by the COMPANY [ * ], then ELAN shall, upon written notice from COMPANY remedy the failure, delay or shortfall within a further period of [ * ] days from said notice and in the event of ELAN’s failure to do so, ELAN shall immediately, upon written request from COMPANY, for so long as such conditions exist:

Page 15 of 52

14.1.

grant to COMPANY a production licence in the TERRITORY so that COMPANY may manufacture the relevant PRODUCT without infringing any of ELAN’s patent and/or any other industrial property rights (including the ELAN PATENT RIGHTS and ELAN KNOW-HOW). Any such licence shall apply only in regard to the relevant PRODUCT as well as to the applications of technology derived from the ELAN PATENT RIGHTS related to its use with such PRODUCT. In the event that COMPANY is unable or unwilling to itself undertake manufacture of the PRODUCT under any of the circumstances envisaged here, and ELAN is itself unable to offer a third party sub-contractor to manufacture and supply PRODUCT to COMPANY, then COMPANY may assign this production license to a third party sub-contractor which it may nominate, but whose final selection will be subject to ELAN’s prior written agreement, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm that the provisions of Article V paragraph 3.5 shall apply to the sale of PRODUCT manufactured by COMPANY or its sub-contractor appointed in accordance with this paragraph.

14.2.

unless already provided under Article IV paragraph 19, provide COMPANY with any technical data necessary for the carrying of this into effect. To this end, ELAN shall impart to COMPANY the documentation constituting the required material support, more particularly practical performance advice, shop practice, specifications as to materials to be used and control methods.

14.3.

unless already carried out under Article IV paragraph 19., assist COMPANY for the working up and use of the technology necessary to manufacture the relevant PRODUCT as well as for the training of COMPANY’s personnel. For this purpose, ELAN shall receive COMPANY’s scientific staff in its premises for periods the term of which shall be decided by common consent.

15.

In the event of such a transfer of manufacture the parties shall, if appropriate, agree on a reasonable period of time within which said transfer is to be made and ELAN shall continue to supply COMPANY with the PRODUCT until such transfer is fully effected so that COMPANY’s supply of the PRODUCT shall be continuous and uninterrupted until COMPANY receives all necessary regulatory approvals.

16.

When ELAN has remedied the situation that prevented ELAN from satisfying COMPANY’s requirements and is once again able to fulfil its obligations to

Page 16 of 52

supply the PRODUCT as provided for in this Agreement, COMPANY shall cease manufacturing the PRODUCT and shall resume purchasing the PRODUCT from ELAN pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided that COMPANY shall be entitled to manufacture the PRODUCT for the period necessary so as to enable COMPANY to recoup those fixed and unrecoverable commercial costs expended by COMPANY in establishing its manufacturing capability for the PRODUCT prior to commercial production of the PRODUCT. If ELAN wishes COMPANY to cease manufacturing the PRODUCT prior to the expiration of this period but in no event within [ * ] months from the grant of the production licence to COMPANY, ELAN shall be entitled to re-commence manufacturing the PRODUCT and reimburse COMPANY in respect of such costs by means of a cash payment or a deduction from royalty payments, or by means of a combination of the foregoing (not to exceed [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of royalty payments payable by COMPANY to ELAN) or otherwise howsoever at the discretion of ELAN provided that:

16.1.

prior to discharge of any such costs by ELAN by whatever means, COMPANY shall provide ELAN with a detailed breakdown of such costs, together with a detailed explanation of the bases upon which the breakdown has been calculated and

16.2.

to the extent that such costs include the cost of fixed capital items which can be transferred to ELAN, and provided that COMPANY agrees to sell the assets, ELAN shall have an option to take delivery of such fixed capital item(s), the costs of such delivery to be for the account of ELAN.

17.

For so long as ELAN or its appointed sub-contractor is manufacturing the PRODUCT, ELAN, its AFFILIATES or subcontractors shall be responsible for all process and equipment validation required by the FDA and other relevant regulatory agency and the regulations thereunder and shall take all steps reasonably necessary to pass government inspection by the FDA or other regulatory agency. In the event that COMPANY or its appointed sub-contractor commences manufacture of the PRODUCT in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, COMPANY shall be responsible for all process and equipment validation required by the FDA and other relevant regulatory agency and the regulations thereunder and shall take all steps reasonably necessary to pass government inspection by the FDA or other regulatory agency. ELAN shall have no liability to COMPANY for any PRODUCT which is manufactured by COMPANY or any sub-contractor appointed by COMPANY.

18.

At any time during the term of this Agreement, ELAN shall be entitled to notify COMPANY of its intention to cease manufacture of the PRODUCT due to poor economic return on the PRODUCT. In such an event, ELAN shall grant COMPANY a production licence in accordance with Article IV paragraphs 14 and 15, which license shall be assignable in the manner provided for in Article IV, paragraph 14.1. In such an event the parties confirm that the provisions of Article V, paragraph 3.6 shall apply to the sale of PRODUCT manufactured by COMPANY or its permitted sub-contractor.

Page 17 of 52

19.

Upon acceptance of the filing of the NDA by the FDA in the United States of America, COMPANY may, at its option, request ELAN to assist it in the working up and use of the technology necessary to manufacture the PRODUCT so as to qualify COMPANY as a second supporting site of manufacture. [ * ] involved in the set-up and qualification of manufacture at its designated site in the United States of America, [ * ]. [ * ]. For the avoidance of doubt, the qualification of COMPANY as a second supporting site of manufacture as envisaged herein shall not constitute or be interpreted as the granting to COMPANY of a production license.

20.

In the event that COMPANY is at any stage the manufacturer of the PRODUCT in accordance with Article IV, paragraphs 3, 14 or 18 or Article XII, paragraph 5.1, then COMPANY shall supply PRODUCT to ELAN for sale in any country of the TERRITORY which ceases to be a part of the TERRITORY in accordance with Article II, paragraph 11 or where ELAN has a non-exclusive licence in accordance with [ * ]. Subject to the following sentence, the terms of this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to the manufacture and supply of PRODUCT by COMPANY to ELAN. The price of the PRODUCT for commercial sale and free-of-charge promotional samples to be charged to ELAN shall be negotiated by the parties at terms substantially similar to Article V, paragraph 5 of the Agreement and ELAN shall pay COMPANY a royalty equal to [ * ].

Supply of the COMPOUND

21.

COMPANY shall supply to ELAN such quantities of COMPOUND [ * ] as ELAN requires for the manufacture and supply of PRODUCT to COMPANY for commercial sale or promotional samples. COMPANY shall be responsible for ensuring that ELAN receives delivery of COMPOUND in such quantities and at such times so as to ensure that ELAN has sufficient stocks of the COMPOUND to meet COMPANY’s firm purchase orders and supply the PRODUCT to COMPANY. COMPANY shall furnish the appropriate certificate of analysis with each delivery of COMPOUND. The parties agree that adequate quantities of COMPOUND shall be delivered by COMPANY to ELAN in accordance with orders submitted by ELAN and at least [ * ] days in advance of the date on which the delivery of PRODUCT is scheduled to be made to COMPANY. During the period in which ELAN is manufacturing Launch Stocks, the foregoing period of [ * ] days shall be increased to [ * ] days. For the avoidance of doubt, COMPANY shall not be obligated to supply COMPOUND [ * ] to ELAN for the manufacture of PRODUCT which shall not be sold by COMPANY, its AFFILIATES or permitted sub-licensees, in the TERRITORY. Where ELAN, its AFFILIATES or

Page 18 of 52

permitted sub-licensees are selling PRODUCT in the TERRITORY in consideration for the payment of a royalty to COMPANY in accordance Article V, paragraph 3.7. of the Agreement, then COMPANY shall supply COMPOUND to ELAN at a price to be negotiated in good faith. The terms of this paragraph regarding appropriate certificates of analysis and a [ * ] day delivery period shall also apply to the delivery of such COMPOUND to ELAN.

22.

Prior to the end of STAGE III the parties shall negotiate in good faith to conclude a technical agreement regulating the parties’ respective obligations from a technical and quality perspective for the supply of the COMPOUND by COMPANY to ELAN and the supply of PRODUCT by ELAN to COMPANY. In no event shall the terms of said technical agreements overrule the terms of this Agreement.

23.

All quantities of the COMPOUND delivered by COMPANY hereunder shall conform to the COMPOUND SPECIFICATIONS and all prevailing legislative and regulatory requirements of the country where the COMPOUND is manufactured.

24.

Save as otherwise agreed between the parties, delivery of consignments of COMPOUND shall be effected by COMPANY, FCA the manufacturing facility designated by ELAN, and all risks therein shall pass to ELAN when each such consignment of the COMPOUND is delivered to ELAN’s designated facility. ELAN shall fully insure or procure the insurance of all consignments of the COMPOUND when risk passes as aforesaid and shall produce such insurance documentation supporting same as and when requested by COMPANY. For purposes of inventory control and/or reconciliation, ELAN will provide an accurate account of inventory levels of COMPOUND to COMPANY on a monthly basis, at the end of each calendar month.

25.

Title to the COMPOUND supplied to ELAN by COMPANY shall at all times remain in COMPANY. ELAN shall clearly mark such COMPOUND as the property of COMPANY and keep such COMPOUND separate and apart from other raw materials. ELAN shall not at any time sell or offer for sale, assign, mortgage, pledge, or allow any lien to be created upon the COMPOUND provided by COMPANY, or any portion thereof. At the termination of this Agreement, ELAN shall surrender to COMPANY all useable COMPOUND in ELAN’s possession. In the alternative and at the option of ELAN, ELAN may purchase such useable COMPOUND at the cost incurred by COMPANY for the manufacture and delivery of such COMPOUND.

26.

All claims for failure of any shipment of the COMPOUND to conform to the COMPOUND SPECIFICATIONS must be made by ELAN to COMPANY in writing within [ * ] following delivery except in the case of latent defects. Claims

Page 19 of 52

for latent defects, not discovered during the routine testing protocol to be agreed upon by COMPANY and ELAN, shall be made by ELAN to COMPANY in writing within [ * ] days of discovery. Failure to make timely claims in the manner prescribed shall constitute acceptance of the shipment. COMPOUND which has been delivered and which has been shown within the designated period not to conform to COMPOUND SPECIFICATIONS shall be replaced at COMPANY’s cost within [ * ] days of the receipt by COMPANY of the failed COMPOUND.

27.

In the event that the COMPOUND supplied by COMPANY is not in compliance with the COMPOUND SPECIFICATIONS, or is otherwise adulterated, misbranded or defective, ELAN shall immediately notify COMPANY and shall follow all reasonable instructions of COMPANY regarding, and be responsible, at the [ * ], for re-analysis, sampling, processing, return, disposal or destruction, including certification of destruction, of such non-conforming bulk COMPOUND.
