Re:  Amendment No. 1 dated as of September 6, 2007 (the "Amendment") to the Collaboration and License Agreement dated as of August 1, 2006 by and between POZEN INC. and AstraZeneca AB (the "Agreement")

Dear Gilda:

As you discussed with our counsel, David McIntosh of Ropes & Gray, due to a clerical error in preparing the Amendment, Exhibit G in the executed version of the Amendment was incomplete.  Attached to this letter is the complete version of Exhibit G that should have been attached to the Amendment.

If this new Exhibit G attached to this letter is acceptable to Pozen, please execute this letter memorializing the parties' agreement that this new Exhibit G will replace the Exhibit G attached to the executed Amendment.  Accordingly, upon execution of this letter, this new attached Exhibit G will become Exhibit G to the Amendment, and the Exhibit G originally attached to the Amendment will be superseded and replaced and be of no further force and effect.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this letter, the terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  This letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
