6 Zohydro ER Source of Business • Primary source of business for Zohydro ER is patients on IR hydrocodone • Physicians prefer to stay within the same molecule when switching a patient from an IR to an ER therapy or adding on an ER therapy • TRx data indicates that 50% of Zohydro ER new patient starts are derived from patients on IR hydrocodone • 41% added to IR hydrocodone, 9% switched from IR hydrocodone. Importantly, add - on and switch patients show significantly higher adherence to therapy than new - to - market patients • Remaining 50% of new patient starts are derived from: • Patients new to market (11%) • Add - ons to non - hydrocodone IR therapy (11%) • Add - ons to neuropathic pain therapies (12%) • Other (16%), including switch from non - hydrocodone IR / ER opioid therapy, switch from Hysingla ® ER and switch from / add to Tramadol • <1% of all patients new to Zohydro ER are switched from Hysingla ® ER and vice versa Added to IR Hyd 41% Switched from IR Hyd 9% Added to Neuro Pain 12% Add to IR non - Hyd 11% New to Market 11% Other 16% Zohydro ER Source of Business Zohydro ER New Patient Starts Source: Symphony Health Solutions Prior Therapy Analysis; July 2016 Note : IR Hyd : IR hydrocodone

27 GSK Arbitration Overview GSK Arbitration Overview • In 2014, Pernix acquired Treximet from GSK and entered into two agreements: an APSA and a Supply Agreement • Key Issues: • GSK claimed that the Company breached its obligations under the APSA because it did not seek to reach a new, replacement rebate agreement with Caremark • Pernix claimed that the agreement with Caremark was never disclosed during diligence, and the economic loss to GSK was due to a provision to the undisclosed agreement • Pernix claimed that GSK breached its obligations under the Supply Agreement because: • It deliberately delayed making or refused to make Treximet in favor of producing its more profitable HIV and cancer products; and it changed the specifications for Treximet without the Company’s approval in ways that led to additional delays in supply • GSK claimed that any delay was the result of unforeseeable manufacturing difficulties • Outcome: • On January 31, 2017, the arbitration tribunal issued opinions in favor of GSK, awarding it ~$35M in damages and fees, plus in ter est (~ $2 to $5M), and denied the Company’s claim that GSK breached its obligations under the Supply Agreement • The Company has already paid an aggregate of $16.5M • On March 17, 2017, Pernix entered into an agreement (the “Amendment”) with GSK which establishes a payment schedule for satisfaction of the balance of the award • Pernix and GSK have agreed that the outstanding balance of the award is $ 21.5M and that Pernix is obligated to pay the award in amounts totaling $ 1.00M , $ 3.50M and $16.95M in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively • Pernix has agreed that for so long as the Amendment is in effect, it will be subject to certain restrictions on non - ordinary course payments and transactions • GSK has agreed that for so long as Pernix complies with the payment schedule, enforcement of the award shall be stayed and GSK shall not seek to enforce or exercise any other remedies in respect of the award • On January 31, 2017, the tribunal issued opinions in favor of GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”) related to breaches of the Asset Purchase & Sale Agreement (“APSA”) • Aggregate damages, fees and interest payable by the Company total ~$37 to $ 40M; $ 16.5M of this amount has already been paid to GSK • Amendment to Interim Settlement Agreement executed with GSK provides for stay of enforcement of the arbitration award for so long as the Company complies with the agreed upon payment schedule, totaling $21.5M over the next 3 years
