*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

-10-

(c) At least sixty (60) days prior to the Calendar Year in which the Launch Date for a Product is anticipated to occur, Lupin shall deliver to Salix a written good faith estimate of the Manufacturing Costs for such Product, providing details thereof in reasonable detail and calculated in accordance with Schedule 1.50, for the Launch Year. Salix shall have the right to review Lupin’s estimate of such Manufacturing Costs and either (i) accept such estimate for purposes of calculating the Purchase Price that is to apply in respect of the Launch Year, in which case the interim Purchase Price for the Launch Year shall be Lupin’s estimate of the Manufacturing Costs increased by the Finished Product Markup, or (ii) object, by notice to Lupin given within twenty (20) days of the date on which Lupin delivers its estimate, to such estimate, in which case the Parties shall meet thereafter to discuss in good faith the Manufacturing Costs that shall apply in respect of the Launch Year, with the result that the interim Purchase Price for the Launch Year shall be the agreed estimated Manufacturing Costs increased by the Finished Product Markup.

(d) On or before January 31 of the first Calendar Year following the Launch Year and thereafter as of January 31 of each successive Calendar Year during the Term, Lupin shall deliver to Salix a statement setting forth Lupin’s actual Manufacturing Costs, calculated in accordance with Schedule 1.50, for the Calendar Year just ended. Such actual Manufacturing Costs multiplied by the Finished Product Markup (the “All-In Actual Cost”) for such prior Calendar Year shall constitute the interim Purchase Price with respect to the current Calendar Year.

(e) The Parties shall reconcile the Purchase Price paid by Salix in respect of each Product purchased during each Calendar Year during the Term, including the Launch Year, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5(e). If the aggregate interim Purchase Price paid by Salix for the Product purchased during the Calendar Year is within plus or minus [*] ([*]%) of the aggregate Purchase Price that would have been paid by Salix for the Product purchased during the Calendar Year had the interim Purchase Price been determined using the All-In Actual Cost for the Calendar Year, then no reconciliation of the Purchase Price in respect of such Calendar Year will be made between the Parties. If the aggregate interim Purchase Price paid by Salix for the Product for the Calendar Year is greater than [*] percent ([*]%) of the aggregate Purchase Price that would have been paid by Salix for the Product purchased during the Calendar Year had the interim Purchase Price been determined using the All-In Actual Cost for such Calendar Year (the “Upper Collar”), then Lupin shall within sixty (60) days after the end of the Calendar Year reimburse Salix for amounts paid by Salix in excess of the Upper Collar. If the aggregate interim Purchase Price paid by Salix for the Product for the Calendar Year is less than [*] percent ([*]%) of the aggregate Purchase Price that would have been paid by Salix for Product purchased during the Calendar Year had the interim Purchase Price been determined using the All-In Actual Cost for such Calendar Year (the “Lower Collar”), then Salix shall

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

-11-

within sixty (60) days after the end of such Calendar Year pay Lupin such additional amounts as are necessary to cause the aggregate Purchase Price paid by Salix for the Product purchased during such Calendar Year to equal the Lower Collar.

7.2 Salix Indemnification. Salix shall indemnify Lupin, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Lupin Indemnified Parties”), and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses incurred by any of them in connection with, arising from or occurring as a result of (a) the breach by Salix of any of its representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, (b) Salix’s material breach of this Agreement, (c) except in respect of any plant, equipment or Manufacturing technology used by Lupin to Manufacture Product hereunder, any Third Party Claim made by any Person that the Manufacture and supply of Product in accordance with and as contemplated by the terms hereof infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates the patent, Trademark or other intellectual property rights of such Person, (d) any Third Party Claim made by any Person relating to or arising out of death, personal injury, or other product liability, related to the marketing, sale, distribution or use of Product and caused by the negligence of Salix or its subcontractors or agents, including Salix’s manufacturers (other than Lupin or its Affiliates), warehousers or distributors, and (e) the enforcement by Lupin of its rights under this Section 7.2, except, in each case, for those Losses for which Lupin has an obligation to indemnify the Salix Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.1, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other Party to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

7.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Notice of Claim. The indemnified party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of facts upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 7.1 or 7.2, but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses

-30-

that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses.

(b) Third Party Claims. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third Person that are subject to indemnification as provided for in Section 7.1 or 7.2 (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Subject to clause (ii) below, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless a Salix Indemnified Party or Lupin Indemnified Party, as applicable, from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Salix Indemnified Party or Lupin Indemnified Party, as applicable.

(ii) Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 7.3(b)(i), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (B) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 7.3(b)(i) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (C) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

-31-

(iii) Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.3(b)(i), the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or dispose of, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(iv) Cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

(v) Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim shall be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis in arrears by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

-32-

7.4 Insurance.

(a) Each Party shall maintain (i) comprehensive general liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than [*] United States Dollars ($[*]) and (ii) product liability/completed operations coverage with a per claim limit of not less than [*] United States Dollars ($[*]) (collectively, the “Policies”). If any Policy is written on a claims-made basis, the retroactive date, if any, shall not be later than the date that the certificates of insurance are required to be delivered pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 7.4. In addition, such coverage shall be continued in full force from such date until the end of the Term of this Agreement and for a period of [*] ([*]) years thereafter and neither Party’s Policies shall be canceled or subject to a reduction of coverage or any other modification without written notice to the other Party.

(b) Each Party shall furnish certificates of insurance for its Policies to the other Party within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Informational Forecast contemplated by Section 2.2(b).

7.5 Limitation on Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE [*] OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS EXCLUSION IS NOT INTENDED TO, NOR SHALL IT, EXCLUDE DAMAGES OWED TO THIRD PARTIES.

Results of such audit shall (i) be (A) limited to information relating to the Product, (B) made available to both Parties in writing, and (C) subject to Article V and (ii) not reveal any specific information of the audited Party to the auditing Party other than (A) whether the audited Party is in compliance with its payment obligations under this Agreement or whether statements submitted by the audited Party under this Agreement are true and correct, as the case may be, and (B) the amount of any additional payment owed to the auditing Party or excess payment reimbursable to the audited Party or any correction to statements submitted by the audited Party under this Agreement, as the case may be. Except as provided below, the cost of this examination shall be borne by the auditing Party, unless the audit reveals a variance of more than five percent (5%) from the reported amounts, in which case the audited Party shall bear the cost of the audit. Unless disputed pursuant to Section 8.8(b), if such audit concludes that additional payments were owed or that excess payments were made during such period, the audited Party shall pay the additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 8.8(c), or the auditing Party shall reimburse such excess payments, with interest from the date of original payment as provided in Section 8.8(c), within sixty (60) days after the date on which such auditor’s written report is delivered to the Parties.

(b) In the event of a Dispute of any audit under Section 8.8, Lupin and Salix shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such Dispute within thirty (30) days, the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 8.6.

(c) If any payment due to a Party under this Agreement is not paid when due, then the owing Party shall pay interest thereon (before and after any judgment) at an annual rate (but with interest accruing on a daily basis) equal to the lesser of (a) the prime rate as reported on the first business day of each month such payment is overdue in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, plus [*] ([*]) percentage points, and (b) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Interest payable under this Section 8.8(c) shall run from the date upon which payment of the relevant principal sum became due through the date of payment thereof in full together with such interest.

8.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

8.10 Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on the Parties from time to time. Each Party agrees that it will not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity in accordance with Applicable Law.

8.11 Assignment. Except as expressly provided herein, neither Party may, without the prior written consent of the other Party, sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge, subcontract or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, however, that (a) Salix may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or to the purchaser or sublicensee of Salix’s rights in and to the Compound or Product, (b) Lupin may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates, and (c) either Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to the purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets or to any successor entity or acquirer in the event of a merger, consolidation or change in control of such Party. Any attempt to assign, transfer, subcontract or delegate any portion of this

-38-

Agreement in violation of this Section shall be null and void. All validly assigned and delegated rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of Salix or Lupin, as the case may be. In the event either Party assigns or delegates its rights or obligations to another Person in accordance with the terms hereof, the assignee or transferee shall assume all obligations of its assignor or transferor under this Agreement and the assignor or transferor shall cease to be a party to this Agreement and shall cease to have any rights or obligations under this Agreement from and after the effective date of such assignment. No such assignment or delegation shall relieve the assignor or transferor of any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lupin shall have the right, from time to time and without the necessity of providing notice to or obtaining the consent of Salix, to delegate, assign, or subcontract to any Affiliate, certain of Lupin’s rights or responsibilities under this Agreement. In all cases, Lupin shall remain the contract Party under this Agreement and shall remain responsible to Salix for the performance of all such obligations under this Agreement.

8.12 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by either Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

8.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties herein.

8.14 Independent Contractors. The status of the Parties under this Agreement shall be that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, agency, employer, employee, or joint venture relationship between the Parties. Neither Party shall have the right to enter into any agreements on behalf of the other Party, nor shall it represent to any Person that it has any such right or authority.

8.15 Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (a) words of any gender include each other gender; (b) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement; (d) the

Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless business days are specified. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.

8.16 Remedies. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

8.17 Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of each such instrument.

8.18 Additional Agreements. Simultaneously herewith, and as a condition to the Parties’ execution and delivery hereof, the Parties are entering into the License Agreement and the first amendment that constitutes part of the API Supply Agreement.

8.19 English Language. This Agreement shall be written and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.
