At such time as DEPOMED first seeks manufacturing services of a nature similar to those provided by MOVA under this Agreement to meet the need for Product supply in a country or geographical region, as the case may be, where Product has not previously been sold, DEPOMED shall offer to MOVA the opportunity to discuss its capabilities relating to such supply outside [* * *] and to make a proposal to DEPOMED in such regard.

2.2 Forecasts. Manufacturing, packaging and delivery of Product to DEPOMED shall be conducted by MOVA in accordance with the following forecasting procedure. On or before the first day of each quarter during the term of this Agreement, DEPOMED agrees to provide MOVA with a written forecast of the required quantities for each strength and unit size of the Product, that DEPOMED expects to purchase during each of the next twelve (12) months commencing October 1, 2006 (“Forecast”). DEPOMED shall advise MOVA of any significant changes in its estimated forecast of Products. Except as otherwise explicitly described herein, the quarterly Forecast shall be non-binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the initial Forecast shall be submitted to MOVA on or before June 15, 2006, and shall incorporate Product manufacture or to be manufactured by MOVA under purchase orders submitted by DEPOMED to MOVA prior to or pending at the Effective Date.

2.3 Purchase Orders. During the term of this Agreement, not less than ninety (90) calendar days prior to each requested delivery date, DEPOMED will provide MOVA with firm purchase orders setting forth the quantities of Product ordered for each month (“Purchase Order”). The quantities indicated in the Purchase Order will be for not less than [* * *] and not more than [* * *] of the total number of units of Product forecasted for such month, as provided to MOVA in the last quarterly Forecast prior to the placement of the Purchase Order. Within ten (10) calendar days from receipt of each Purchase Order, MOVA shall issue an order confirmation for such Purchase Order and shall notify DEPOMED of MOVA’s requirements for API to manufacture and package the quantities covered by the Purchase Order and the corresponding needs for each month of that quarter.

4.6 Rejection.

4.6.1 DEPOMED shall have thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which DEPOMED actually receives a shipment of Product from MOVA to reject the same, because all or part of the shipment fails to conform to cGMPs or the Specifications. For purposes of this Agreement, no claims due to Latent Defects shall be made after six (6) months after the expiration date of the Product. DEPOMED shall notify MOVA within thirty (30) calendar days following discovery of any Latent Defect not discoverable upon reasonable physical inspection. MOVA shall not be held responsible for reasons related to the carrier; provided MOVA has packed and shipped in accordance with applicable Specifications and followed DEPOMED’s other shipping instructions. A shipment of Product shall not be deemed received until actual receipt by DEPOMED, or third parties designated by DEPOMED in the Purchase Order, of both the Product with the appropriate shipping documents, and copies of the complete certificates of analysis relating thereto including, but not limited to, certification of manufacture in compliance with cGMPs and including any deviation report.

4.6.2 DEPOMED or its designee shall give MOVA written notice (“Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Products that fail to conform with the Specifications, cGMP’s or any Applicable Law. Should DEPOMED or its designee fail to provide MOVA with

the Deficiency Notice within the applicable thirty (30) days period, then the delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted, provided however that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to Latent Defect claims.

4.6.3 Upon rejection of a shipment or lot of PRODUCT, DEPOMED or its designee may require at its option, rework in accordance with procedures spelled out in the applicable NDA, destruction or replacement of the shipment. Cost associated with such rework, destruction or replacement of shipment shall be borne by the Party responsible. MOVA shall be so responsible for only those failures due to its negligence or willful misconduct, whether such failure is discovered before or after shipping. For clarification purposes and by means of example, MOVA’s failure to follow the protocols agreed to by the Parties, MOVA’s standard operating procedures, written instructions from DEPOMED not contrary to law, or cGMP regulations shall be deemed to constitute negligence on the part of MOVA.

4.6.4 If MOVA and DEPOMED fail to agree on the cause for such Product failure, the dispute may be referred to a Laboratory or an independent expert of recognized repute, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 4.7 herein, and the finding of such Laboratory or expert shall be determinative as to the cause for such failure. When there has been no definitive determination of the cause for failure, whether following reasonable investigations by MOVA and DEPOMED or referral of a dispute to the Laboratory or expert, each of MOVA and DEPOMED shall bear their respective costs of such failure. DEPOMED shall not be entitled to payment from MOVA for lost raw materials and MOVA shall not be entitled to payment for services in manufacturing such failed Product.

4.6.5 If DEPOMED, due to the negligence or willful misconduct of MOVA, rejects a shipment before the date on which payment therefor is due pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof, DEPOMED may withhold payment for that shipment or the rejected portion thereof. In the event that DEPOMED, due to the negligence or willful misconduct of MOVA, rejects a shipment or portion thereof within such thirty (30) calendar day period but after payment therefor has been made, DEPOMED shall be entitled to recoup the payment amount by, at DEPOMED’s election, MOVA issuing a prompt refund or DEPOMED offsetting such amount against the payment of future invoices for shipments of Product that may become due hereunder. Payments for all shipments or portions thereof that DEPOMED rejects but, did not have the right to reject, shall be paid to MOVA within fifteen (15) calendar days following the date on which such determination is made and DEPOMED shall bear the responsibility for any costs incurred by MOVA as a consequence of such rejection, including the destruction of the rejected lots.

4.6.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, MOVA shall not destroy any rejected lots as to which there exists a dispute until such dispute has been resolved. DEPOMED’s exclusive remedies under this Agreement for the delivery of Product not conforming to the Specifications, delivered without the required documentation, or not manufactured in

accordance with cGMPs shall be as set forth in this Article 4, Section 8.1, Section 10.3, and Section 10.7.

4.7 Disputes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if MOVA disputes DEPOMED’s right to reject all or part of any shipment of the Product pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.5 hereof, and such dispute is not resolved by mutual agreement of the Parties within sixty (60) calendar days, such dispute if related to an analytical result shall be resolved by the determination of a laboratory approved by both MOVA and DEPOMED that is compliant with FDA guidelines and regulations or if relating to another item of compliance with the Specifications, an independent expert of recognized repute within the United States pharmaceutical industry, as applicable, mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Laboratory”), the appointment of which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by either Party. The determination of the Laboratory shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Laboratory making the determination as well as all costs relating to the supply of defective Product shall be paid by the Party against whom the determination is made.

4.8 Defective Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient. In the event that the Laboratory or MOVA determines that the failure of Product to meet Specifications is due to a defect in API that could not have been reasonably discovered using the testing methods set forth in the Specifications, and contemplated by, this Agreement, MOVA shall be entitled to the Production Fees (as defined in Section 5.1) for (i) such finished Product, and (ii) the costs of the testing methods employed by MOVA to determine the defect in the API.

4.9 Access to MOVA Facilities by DEPOMED Representatives. Upon reasonable advance notice, MOVA shall permit DEPOMED representatives to enter MOVA’s plant during regular business hours for the purpose of making quality control inspections of the facilities used in the manufacture of Product for DEPOMED, during the period of such use. Any DEPOMED representatives shall be advised of the confidentiality obligations of Article 6 and shall follow such security and facility access procedures as are reasonably designated by MOVA. MOVA may require that at all times the DEPOMED representative be accompanied by a MOVA representative and that the DEPOMED representative not enter areas of the facility used in production of the Product at times other than when the production is occurring to assure protection of MOVA or third party confidential information.

4.10 Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Yield Calculation.

(a) Reporting. MOVA shall provide DEPOMED with a monthly inventory report, within four (4) business days after the end of each month, of the API held by MOVA in accordance with the inventory report form annexed hereto as Schedule F, which shall contain the following information for such month:

“Quantity Received” shall mean the total quantity of API that complies with the applicable Specifications for the API when received at the MOVA Facility.

“Quantity Dispensed” shall mean the total quantity of API dispensed at the MOVA Facility during the applicable period. The Quantity Dispensed is calculated by adding the Quantity Received to the existing inventory of API that complied with the Specifications for API upon receipt by MOVA and is held at the beginning of the applicable period, less the inventory of API that is held at the end of such period. The Quantity Dispensed shall only include API received and dispensed in connection with commercial manufacturing of Products and, for certainty, shall not include any (i) API that must be retained by MOVA as samples pursuant to this Agreement, the Quality Agreement or applicable regulatory requirements, (ii) API contained in Product that must be retained as samples pursuant to this Agreement, the Quality Agreement or applicable regulatory requirements, (iii) API used in connection with testing by or on behalf of MOVA or DEPOMED in the performance of this Agreement or the Quality Agreement (if applicable) and (iv) API dispensed in connection with technical transfer activities or development activities during the applicable period, including, without limitation, any regulatory, stability, validation or test batches manufactured during the applicable period and required in the performance of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement or pursuant to Applicable Law.

“Quantity Converted” shall mean the total amount of API contained in the Products produced with the Quantity Dispensed and delivered to DEPOMED and not rejected, recalled or returned in accordance with Section 4.6 or Article 8 as a result of a failure by MOVA to provide manufacturing services in accordance with this Agreement, the Quality Agreement, the Specifications, and Applicable Law.

Within 60 days after the end of each Year, MOVA shall prepare an annual reconciliation of API in accordance with the reconciliation report form annexed hereto as Schedule G including the calculation of the “Actual Annual Yield” or “AAY” for the Product at the MOVA Facility during the Year. AAY is the percentage of the Quantity Dispensed that was converted to Products delivered and is calculated as follows:

Quantity Converted during the Year		x		100	%
Quantity Dispensed during the Year

The Parties agree that the target yield in respect of such Product at the MOVA Facility (the “Target Yield”) is equal to [* * * ]. MOVA shall maintain Actual Annual Yield levels for each Product equal to or above the applicable Target Yield.

(b) Shortfall Calculation. If the Actual Annual Yield falls below the respective Target Yield in a Year, then the shortfall for such Year (the “Shortfall”) shall be determined based on the following calculation:

[(Target Yield – AAY] * API Credit Value * Quantity Dispensed

* * * Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

The Shortfall shall be disclosed by MOVA on the reconciliation report prepared in the form annexed hereto as Schedule G.

(c) Credit. If there is a Shortfall for a Product in a Year, then MOVA shall credit DEPOMED’s account for the amount of any such Shortfall not later than 60 days after the end of each Year. Each credit under this Section 4.10 shall be summarized on the reconciliation report prepared in the form annexed hereto as Schedule G and shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement any remaining credit amount owing under this Section 4.10 shall be reimbursed to DEPOMED by payment thereof to DEPOMED.

(d) Maximum Credit. Notwithstanding the following provisions of this Section 4.10, MOVA’s liability for API calculated in accordance with this Section 4.10 for any Product in a Year shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Credit Value set forth in Schedule E hereto.

If MOVA terminates this Agreement under Section 10.3(a) herein, DEPOMED shall reimburse MOVA for MOVA’s actual cost of such raw materials purchased by MOVA in order to fulfill DEPOMED´s then current twelve (12) months rolling forecast. Additionally, DEPOMED shall reimburse MOVA for any fees charged to MOVA for the termination of such supply contracts for raw materials which MOVA can only use for the manufacture of Products. In all other events of termination and without prejudice to the above mentioned, the Party having given reason to the termination shall bear the costs of disposal of raw materials and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient.

14.3 No Implied Warranties. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, MOVA AND DEPOMED MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTEND NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF MOVA, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

ARTICLE 15 – ASSIGNMENT

Except as set forth in this Article, this Agreement, and all rights and obligations hereunder, are personal to MOVA and shall not be assigned in whole or in part by MOVA to any other person or company without the prior written consent of DEPOMED, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MOVA shall be entitled to assign this Agreement to an Affiliate whose performance is guaranteed by MOVA or to a party which is the successor to, or the assignee of, all or substantially all of MOVA’s pharmaceutical business; provided, however, that any such successor or assignee has agreed in writing to assume all of MOVA’s obligations under this Agreement. DEPOMED may, without the consent of MOVA, assign this Agreement provided, however, that DEPOMED shall give prior written notice of any assignment to MOVA. Any assignee of DEPOMED to which it has sold or licensed rights to manufacture, market or sell the Product in the Territory, which has assumed all of DEPOMED’s obligations hereunder must be qualified and shall have (i) a financial condition at the time of assignment at least comparable to that of DEPOMED as of the Effective Date, and (ii) has neither been debarred by the FDA nor is otherwise subject to an order of the FDA or a court of competent jurisdiction which would prevent it from performing the obligations of DEPOMED hereunder. In the event of any assignment pursuant to the provisions of this Article, the assigning Party shall have no further obligations hereunder except: (i) to the extent the same has accrued prior to such assignment or (ii) pursuant to the guarantee obligation set forth above. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

ARTICLE 16 – GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled, if possible, through good faith negotiation between the Parties. Such good faith negotiations shall commence promptly upon a Party’s receipt of notice of any claim or dispute from the other Party and continue for a period of sixty (60) calendar days.

If such efforts are not successful, such controversy, claim or dispute relating to, arising out of, or in any way connected with this Agreement or any term or condition hereof, or the performance by either Party of its obligations hereunder, whether before or after termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration. Whenever a Party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico without reference to any rules of conflicts of law or renvoi. Disputes shall be resolved through arbitration before three (3) arbitrators. Such arbitration shall take place in the vicinity of the non-triggering Party, and shall proceed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Within seven (7) calendar days of either Party making a demand for arbitration (or longer if the Parties so agree), DEPOMED and MOVA shall each select one (1) arbitrator. A third arbitrator shall be selected by the arbitrators selected by the Parties within thirty (30) calendar days of the demand for arbitration. In the event that either Party shall fail to appoint its arbitrator, or the two arbitrators selected by the Parties fail to appoint the third arbitrator, in either case within the prescribed time period, then either Party may apply to the AAA for the appointment of such arbitrator. The determination of a majority of the panel of arbitrators shall be the decision of the arbitrators and shall be binding regardless of whether one of the Parties fails or refuses to participate in the arbitration; said determination shall be enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction. Each Party shall pay for the arbitrator it selects with the cost of the third arbitrator being split equally between the Parties. All other costs shall also be split equally between the Parties. Either Party may enter any arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction or may make application to any such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and order of enforcement, as the case may be. The Parties’ agreement to submit to arbitration referred to herein shall in no way prevent either Party from exercising its right to terminate this Agreement consistent with the terms herein.

ARTICLE 17 – FORCE MAJEURE

Neither Party shall be liable to the other for default or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, if such default or delay shall be caused directly or indirectly by accident, fire, flood, riot, war, weather, act of God, embargo, strike, failure or delay of usual sources of supply of materials, or delay of carriers or governmental orders or regulations, or complete or partial shutdown of plant by any of the foregoing causes or other causes beyond its reasonable control, provided the same are not due to the negligence or willful misconduct of such Party and provided further that any such default, delay or failure shall be remedied by such Party as soon as possible after the removal of the cause of such default, failure or delay. Obligations to pay amounts due under this Agreement shall not be subject to the forestated excuses. If due to force majeure MOVA is unable to supply DEPOMED with the Product for a period exceeding one hundred and twenty (120) days then DEPOMED shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without further cost and with immediate effect and upon written notice to MOVA. At the end of the first sixty (60) days during the persistence of the force majeure event MOVA shall reasonably determine whether it will be able to resume supplying Product at the end

of such one hundred and twenty (120) days period and notify DEPOMED in writing of such assessment. If MOVA has concluded that it will be unable to resume supplying Product at the end of such period, DEPOMED shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to MOVA without further cost. MOVA will provide reasonable assistance during the technology transfer for the Product upon termination due to force majeure.

ARTICLE 18 – NOTICES
