SERVICES

Section 2.1. General. During the Term, subject toSection 2.2, Service Provider shall provide to Service Recipient and, to the extent directed by Service Recipient, its Affiliates, the Services, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Service Provider shall not be required to perform or cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Person other than Service Recipient and its Affiliates. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith any proposed changes to the Services, including pricing related thereto, during the Term. Such proposed changes shall become effective only upon mutual agreement of the Parties as reflected in an addendum toScheduleI-A orScheduleI-B, as applicable. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Services are generally intended to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, and, to the extent the Services described in the applicableSchedule I are general in nature, are intended to support the continued respective operations of the Parties following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement.

Section 2.2. Standard for Services. The Services shall be provided hereunder (i) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in a manner generally consistent with the provision of such Services during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the date hereof (the “Prior Period”), (ii) in a manner at least as complete in all material respects as the manner in which such Services have been provided during the Prior Period, (iii) with the same degree of skill, care and diligence as provided during the Prior Period, and (iv) giving substantially equal priority and substantially equal treatment that such Services received during the Prior Period;provided that if Service Provider has not previously provided any such Service to another Person, Service Provider will provide such Service in a manner substantially similar to similar services provided to its Affiliates or businesses. To the extent a more specific standard of care is specified in the respectiveSchedule I with respect to any Service, the Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such more specific standard. It is the Parties’

-2-

shared objective to transition responsibility for the performance of Services from Service Provider to Service Recipient and its Affiliates in a manner that minimizes, to the extent reasonably possible, disruption to the business operations of Service Provider and its Affiliates and the business operations of Service Recipient and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, Service Provider shall not be required to (i) perform any Service in any manner that violates or contravenes any restrictions imposed on Service Provider by applicable Law or (ii) perform any Service in any manner that breaches or contravenes any contractual obligations owed by Service Provider to any Third Party(ies), or (iii) perform any Service to the extent that the conduct of such would, in the good faith belief of Service Provider, infringe, violate or misappropriate intellectual property rights of any Third Party.

Section 2.3. Protection of Information Systems

(a) In providing any information technology Services hereunder, Service Provider shall have the right to implement reasonable processes from time to time under which there will be no greater threat to Service Provider’s information technology operating environment than would exist in the absence of the provision of such Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Service Recipient shall, and shall cause each of its employees with access to Service Provider’s information technology operating environment to, comply with the terms and conditions of Service Provider’s information technology use policies in place at the time of provision of such Services.

(b) If, in connection with the provision of any Services under this Agreement, it is reasonably necessary for Service Provider to implement any information technology connections, firewalls or the like (“Information System Additions”) specifically in connection with the provision of such Services and that would not have otherwise been implemented in the absence of the provision of the Services, the costs of implementing such Information System Additions shall be borne by Service Recipient, unless specifically provided otherwise in the respectiveSchedule I hereto or otherwise agreed to in writing by Service Recipient.

Section 2.4. Transitional Nature of the Services. Service Recipient understands that the Services provided hereunder are transitional in nature and are furnished by Service Provider as an accommodation and for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement. Service Recipient agrees to use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to transition from the Services as provided by Service Provider to services performed by Service Recipient or furnished by another party as soon as practically possible, but in no case later than the expiration of the Term. Service Recipient further understands that Service Provider is not in the business of providing Services to Third Parties and will not provide the Services beyond the Term.

Section 2.5. Omitted Services. If, during the sixty (60) day period immediately following the date of this Agreement, Service Recipient identifies a service that was provided in connection with Service Recipient’s business (other than those services expressly excluded hereunder) during the Prior Period, or which are reasonably anticipated as of the date hereof to be necessary to continue to support Service Recipient’s business during the Term, but such services were inadvertently omitted from the list of Services in the applicableSchedule I hereto (each, to

-3-

the extent included in the Services pursuant to thisSection 2.5, an “Omitted Service”), then Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Service Recipient to amend the applicableSchedule I to add such Omitted Service as a Service;provided that Service Provider shall not be obligated to provide any Omitted Service if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Omitted Service or if the provision of such Omitted Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its business. In the event that the Parties agree that Service Provider should provide any such Omitted Service, the Parties shall execute amendments for such Omitted Service to the applicableSchedule I for such Omitted Service that shall set forth, among other things, (i) the time period during which such Omitted Service shall be provided, (ii) a description of such Omitted Service in reasonable detail, (iii) primary points of contact for each of the Parties with respect to the Service, (iv) any additional Fees, as applicable, related to such Omitted Service and agreed upon by the Parties, and (v) any additional terms and conditions specific to such Omitted Service. Service Provider’s obligations with respect to providing any such Omitted Service shall become effective only upon mutual agreement of the Parties as reflected in an amendment to the applicableSchedule I being duly executed and delivered by each Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time period for any such Omitted Service shall expire not later than the expiration of the Term as calculated prior to the addition of such Omitted Service unless the Parties agree otherwise.

Section 2.6. Additional Services. The Parties acknowledge thatSchedule I might not identify all of the Services that may be necessary or appropriate to affect the understanding set forth in this Agreement. Service Recipient may request such additional Services from Service Provider (each, to the extent included in the Services pursuant to thisSection 2.6, an “Additional Service”) in writing during the Term. Service Provider will consider any such request for Additional Services promptly and in good faith, except to the extent such request is for Omitted Services (in which caseSection 2.5 shall govern). In the event that the Parties agree that Service Provider should provide any such Additional Service, the Parties shall execute amendments for such Additional Service to the applicableSchedule I that shall set forth, among other things, (i) the time period during which such Additional Service shall be provided, (ii) a description of such Additional Service in reasonable detail, (iii) primary points of contact for each of the Parties with respect to the Service, (iv) any additional Fees, as applicable, related to such Additional Service and agreed upon by the Parties, and (iv) any additional terms and conditions specific to such Additional Service. Service Provider’s obligations with respect to providing any such Additional Service shall become effective only upon mutual agreement of the Parties as reflected in an amendment to the applicableSchedule I being duly executed and delivered by each Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time period for any such Additional Service shall expire not later than the expiration of the Term as calculated prior to addition of such Additional Service unless the Parties agree otherwise.

Section 2.7. Use of Third Parties. Service Recipient understands that certain Services may be provided to it by Service Provider in accordance with thisSection 2.7 and pursuant to agreements between Service Provider and various Third Parties. To the extent not prohibited by a Third Party and with Service Recipient’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, Service Provider will coordinate the provision of Services by the Third Party to Service Recipient and Service Recipient will reasonably cooperate with any Third Party providing Services on behalf of Service Provider in order to facilitate the provision and receipt of such Services.

-4-

Section 2.8. Cooperation. Service Recipient and its Affiliates who are recipients of the Services will reasonably cooperate with Service Provider in order to facilitate the provision and receipt of the Services. Service Recipient acknowledges that such Services are dependent on such reasonable cooperation, and that its or its Affiliates’ failure to so cooperate, if not reasonable, shall relieve Service Provider of its obligation to provide the related Services to the extent such failure renders such provision impractical or impossible. Service Recipient and its Affiliates who are recipients of the Services will comply in all material respects with all applicable policies and procedures of Service Provider.

Section 2.9. Access. Each Party shall allow the other Party and its Affiliates and Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of such Party and its Affiliates that is necessary for Service Provider to provide the Services or for Service Recipient and its Affiliates to receive the Services. Each Party agrees that all of its and its Affiliates’ employees shall, and that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives’ employees to, when on the property of the other Party or any of its Affiliates, or when given access to any facilities, information, systems, infrastructure or personnel of the other Party or any of its Affiliates, conform to the policies and procedures of such other Party and any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, concerning health, safety, conduct and security which are made known to the Party receiving such access from time to time.

Section 2.10. Intellectual Property. Neither Party will gain, by virtue of this Agreement, any rights of ownership or use of copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks or any other intellectual property rights (“Intellectual Property Rights”) owned by the other Party or its Affiliates. To the extent any Intellectual Property Rights are developed by Service Provider or its Affiliates solely, specifically and exclusively for Service Recipient in the course of the performance of the Services, all right, title and interest in and to any such Intellectual Property Rights shall be the sole and exclusive property of Service Recipient, and Service Provider shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) assign, and does hereby assign, to Service Recipient all right, title and interest in and to any such Intellectual Property Rights. Except as expressly specified in the foregoing, as between the Parties, all right, title and interest in any Intellectual Property Rights developed by or on behalf of Service Provider in the course of providing the Services shall be owned by Service Provider. To the extent that Service Provider performs any Services through any Affiliate or subcontractor, Service Provider shall obligate such Affiliate or such subcontractor to assign to Service Recipient all Service Recipient’s Intellectual Property Rights, and Service Provider shall not utilize any such Affiliate or subcontractor in the performance of such Services unless such Affiliate or subcontractor is so obligated.

ARTICLE III

FEES AND PAYMENT

Section 3.1. Fees.

All of the costs and expenses described in thisSection 3.2 (“Expenses”) shall be charged by Service Provider to the recipient of such Service on a pass-through basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Expenses described in thisSection 3.2 shall be consistent with Service Provider’s general approach with respect to such types of costs and expenses; provided that with respect to any Service, the recipient of such Service’s prior written approval shall be required to the extent that Expenses exceed $ . For clarity, there shall be nomark-up added to Expenses under this Agreement, unless suchmark-up was actually paid by Service Provider’s personnel or subcontractor.

Section 3.3. Invoice; Payment. Not later than fifteen (15) days after the last day of each calendar month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, then on the immediately succeeding Business Day), Service Provider shall provide to Service Recipient an invoice for the preceding calendar month’s Services, which shall list (i) the Services provided by Service Provider to Service Recipient for such month, (ii) the Fees payable for such Services (and reasonable documentation supporting such Fees, to the extent requested by Service Recipient), and (iii) any Expenses for the preceding calendar month (and reasonable documentation verifying such Expenses). The amount stated in such invoices shall be paid by Service Recipient in full within thirty (30) calendar days of the issuance of the invoices (or, if such date is not a Business Day, then on the immediately succeeding Business Day) to an account designated by Service Provider, except to the extent such amount is the subject of a good faith dispute by Service Recipient as notified in writing to Service Provider.

Section 3.4. Late Payments. Without prejudice to Service Provider’s other rights and remedies, where any sum remains unpaid ten (10) Business Days after the applicable due date, it shall carry interest, which shall accrue daily, from the due date until the date of actual payment, at a rate based on the prime rate listed in the Wall Street Journal (Bond Yields and Rates) on the date such sum is due and payable.

Section 3.5. Taxes. All payments due to Service Provider under this Agreement shall be exclusive of any sales, use, value added, transfer, service, service use or other similar or analogous Tax (“Service Taxes”). Service Recipient will pay, and hold Service Provider harmless against, any Service Taxes applicable to the provision of the Services. Each Party agrees to provide to the other Party such information and data as reasonably requested from time to time, and to fully cooperate with the other Party, in connection with (a) the reporting of any Service Taxes payable pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any audit relating to any such Service Taxes, or (c) any assessment, refund, claim or proceeding relating to any such Service Taxes. To the extent any such reporting, audit, assessment, refund, claim, or proceeding is in relation to Service Taxes owed or claimed to be owed by Service Provider or any of its Affiliates by a Governmental Entity, Service Provider shall direct and control such reporting, audit, assessment, refund, claim, or proceeding.

Section 3.6. No Right toSet-Off. Each Party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be permitted toset-off any amount owed by such Party pursuant to this Agreement against any amount or obligation owed to such Party or an Affiliate hereunder or pursuant to the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.

SERVICE MANAGEMENT

Section 4.1. Service Managers. Each Party shall each appoint an employee to have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery of Services in accordance with this Agreement (such employee, a “Service Manager”).

Service Managers shall consult and coordinate with one another regarding the provision of Services hereunder.

Section 4.2. Service Coordinators. Each Party has designated an employee or title as the principal point of contact for theday-to-day implementation or monitoring of each Service as specified in the applicableSchedule I (each, a “Service Coordinator”).

The Service Coordinators will report to the applicable Service Manager from time to time, as directed by the Service Manager.

ARTICLE V

SUB-CONTRACTING; THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS

Section 5.1. Sub-Contractors. Upon Service Recipient’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, Service Provider may delegate orsub-contract its duties under this Agreement to a qualified Third Party;provided that, notwithstanding such delegation orsub-contracting, Service Provider shall remain liable for the performance of its duties hereunder and shall ensure and guaranty that any Services provided by a subcontractor shall meet Service Provider’s obligations set forth inSections 2.2(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). For the avoidance of doubt, Service Provider will not be liable with respect to any agreement entered into directly by Service Recipient (or its Affiliates) and a subcontractor, other than as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties.

Section 5.2. Third Party Agreements. Service Recipient acknowledges that the Services that were provided through Third Parties prior to the date hereof are subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable agreements between Service Provider and such Third Parties, and Service Recipient agrees to comply with such terms and conditions to the extent applicable to Service Recipient and necessary for purposes of receiving such Services by Service Recipient. For any Service to be delegated to a Third Party after the date hereof, and so long as any such Service is provided solely to Service Recipient and not to Service Provider or any Affiliates of Service Provider, Service Provider shall provide Service Recipient with a copy of any agreement contemplated to be entered into with such Third Party in relation to such Service and seek Service Recipient’s consent to such delegation, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. In the event any such consent is not granted, Service Provider shall not have any liability resulting from any delay in providing any such Service.

Section 5.3. Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents from vendors that are necessary in order to provide any of the Services to Service Recipient under this Agreement;provided,however, that Service Provider shall not be required to pay anyout-of-

-7-

pocket fees to any vendor in order to obtain such consent, but shall, instead, request that Service Recipient pay suchout-of-pocket fees. In the event that Service Provider is unable to obtain any such consent, the Parties will work together to agree upon a commercially reasonable alternative arrangement, which may include identification of alternate resources and equivalent services from such alternative resources on commercially reasonable terms. Any actualout-of-pocket fees levied on Service Provider (i) in connection with its efforts to obtain and implement such consents and (ii) in connection with the implementation of any such commercially reasonable alternative arrangement, shall be borne by Service Recipient.

ARTICLE VI

TERM AND TERMINATION AND EFFECTS OF TERMINATION

Section 6.1. Term. Except as otherwise provided herein or unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Service Provider’s obligation to provide or procure, and Service Recipient’s obligation to purchase, each Service shall cease as of the end of the term specified for such Service in the applicableSchedule I hereto, and the Agreement shall terminate in its entirety at the end of the Term;provided that (i) this Agreement may be extended, with respect to one or more Services, by mutual written agreement of the Parties, consent to which extension shall be in each Party’s absolute discretion, and (ii) in the event that a Service shall not have been transitioned to Service Recipient solely as a result of a material breach by Service Provider of its obligations under this Agreement, the term for such Service will be extended solely for such period as shall be necessary for Service Provider to cure such material breach;provided that the breach is curable with the use of commercially reasonable efforts and is not related to a Service that could reasonably be obtained or performed by Service Recipient itself.

Section 6.2. Termination for Breach. In the event that a Party hereto commits a material breach with respect to any of the Services, the other Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Service only, unless such breach is cured not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by the breaching Party of written notice of such breach.

Section 6.3. Early Termination of a Service. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, if Service Recipient should wish to terminate a Service (in whole, but not in part), Service Recipient shall provide written notice to Service Provider not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the requested termination date for such Service;provided,however, that no such notice of termination may be delivered to Service Provider during the forty-five (45) day period immediately following the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, in certain instances, terminating certain Services may require time periods longer than the forty-five (45) day period specified in thisSection 6.3. In any such event, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a longer period of time for any and all such transfers following the termination notice. Service Recipient shall remain liable for any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder in connection with the terminated Service(s) incurred prior to the effective date of termination of such Service(s), including in the event that such terminated Services contemplated a deliverable that was not provided due to such early termination (for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Services are terminated prior to the expiration of the Term by Recro, Recro shall remain liable for the Baudax Monthly Fee through the remainder of the Term). Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that (i) Services provided by Third Parties may be subject to term-limited licenses and contracts

-8-

between Service Provider and applicable Third Parties (collectively, “Provider Third Party Contracts”), (ii) the renewal periods under the Provider Third Party Contracts may be for fixed periods, and (iii) Service Provider may not have the right to renew certain Provider Third Party Contracts. As a result, Service Recipient agrees that (i) if Service Provider is required to extend any Provider Third Party Contract in order to continue to provide any Service during the Term, then Service Provider shall notify Service Recipient and, if Service Recipient informs Service Provider within fifteen (15) days of such notice that it wishes to continue to receive such Service, then Service Recipient shall be required to pay Service Provider the amount of any renewal fees or purchase commitments applicable to the relevant Service for the full renewal period specified in the applicable Provider Third Party Contract, regardless of whether the Term or Service Provider’s provision of the relevant Service ends prior to the end of the relevant renewal period, and (ii) Service Provider will not be required to provide any Service to the extent it is unable to renew any applicable Provider Third Party Contract or Service Recipient either informs Service Provider that it does not wish to continue to receive such Service under thisSection 6.3 or does not respond to Service Provider’s notice in the applicable fifteen (15) day period.

Section 6.4. Termination Upon Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately in the event the other Party (i) becomes insolvent, (ii) is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due, (iii) files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency Law, (iv) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (v) applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver or custodian for a substantial part of its property or business.

Section 6.5. Accrued Rights. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason will be without prejudice to any rights that have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration. Such termination or expiration will not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Section 6.6. Effect of Termination. Not later than thirty (30) days following the date it receives a final invoice from Service Provider following termination or expiration of any Services or this Agreement, Service Recipient shall pay to Service Provider all remaining monies due to Service Provider hereunder in respect of Services provided prior to such termination or expiration except for any amounts then the subject of a good faith dispute. In addition, at the end of the Term, each Party hereto shall, at the disclosing Party’s option, return or destroy the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party. In the event that the disclosing Party elects destruction, the other Party shall furnish to the disclosing Party a written certificate of destruction signed by an officer of the certifying Party. Any provision which by its nature should survive, including the provisions of thisSection 6.6 (Effect of Termination), andSection 2.10 (Intellectual Property),Article III (Fees and Payment),Article VII (Limitation of Liability; Indemnification),Article IX (Confidentiality), andArticle X (Miscellaneous), shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
