shall remain vested in CIMA both during the term of this Agreement and
thereafter. Schwarz shall not contest the validity of the CIMA

Trademarks shall accrue and belong to Schwarz CIMA shall have no rights
to use the Schwarz Trademarks, including, without limitation, in
connection with any product subsequently developed by CIMA. CIMA will
not use in its business, in or outside of the Territory, any other mark
or name which is similar to or nearly resembles the Schwarz Trademarks
in use by Schwarz in a manner that is likely to cause deception or
confusion. CIMA recognizes that Schwarz is the owner of all of the
Schwarz Trademarks used in commerce to indicate the source of the

patentable) shall be owned solely by CIMA.

(a) Infringement of Patent Rights. Each party shall promptly
notify the other of any alleged infringement by third parties of any
CIMA Patent and provide any information available to that party
relating to such alleged infringement. CIMA shall have the
responsibility to investigate such alleged infringement and act
diligently, [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***], to end any
infringement of such rights that materially affect Schwarz's rights
pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, bringing
suit against such third party infringer. In the event that CIMA does
not bring suit against such third party infringer, Schwarz may, at its
own expense, bring suit against such third party infringer on CIMA's
behalf.
(b) Procedures. No settlement, consent judgment or other
voluntary final disposition of any suit contemplated by Section 9.12(a)
may be entered into without the consent of each party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any recovery of damages
in any such suit shall be retained by the party bearing the costs of
such suit. In the event of any infringement suit against a third party
brought by either party pursuant to this Section 9.12, the party not
bringing such suit shall cooperate in all respects, execute any
documents reasonably necessary to permit the other party to prosecute
such suit, and to the extent reasonable shall make available its
employees and relevant records to provide evidence for such suit.

this Agreement, [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED
FILED
- 23 -
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] Schwarz's
marketing or selling of the Product hereunder infringes on a third
party patent based upon claims that dominate claims in the CIMA
Patents, within [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] after
notice by Schwarz, CIMA shall use its reasonable best efforts to
procure for Schwarz the right to exercise all rights licensed under
this Agreement without any additional payment therefor by Schwarz

throughout the term of this Agreement to meet the requirements of Schwarz for
the supply of Products hereunder.

insurance in respect of the applicable Product in the amount of $1,000,000 per
occurrence and in the aggregate and policies of $10,000,000 of excess coverage
in the aggregate. At and after each Launch, Schwarz shall use its best efforts
to obtain and carry in full force and effect product liability insurance in
respect of the applicable Product in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence and
in the aggregate and policies of $10,000,000 of excess coverage in the

other party.
SECTION 10

10.1 Indemnification.
(a) CIMA shall indemnify, defend and hold Schwarz (and its
directors, officers, employees, and Affiliates) harmless from and against any
and all Damages incurred or suffered by Schwarz (and its directors, officers,
employees, and Affiliates) as a consequence of:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by CIMA
in this Agreement or any agreement, instrument or document delivered by
CIMA pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant,
agreement or undertaking on the part of CIMA contained in this
Agreement;
- 24 -
(iii) any act or omission of CIMA with respect to the operation
of CIMA's business, or the handling, manufacturing or development of
the Products by CIMA; or
(iv) the infringement of the Licensed Assets, the Patent or
the Technology of any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or
other intellectual property right of any person other than CIMA or
Schwarz
(b) Schwarz shall indemnify, defend and hold CIMA (and its directors,
officers, employees, and Affiliates) harmless from and against any and all
Damages incurred or suffered by CIMA (and its directors, officers, employees,
and Affiliates) as a consequence of:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by
Schwarz in this Agreement or any agreement, instrument or
document delivered by Schwarz pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement;
(ii) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant,
agreement or undertaking on the part of Schwarz contained in
this Agreement; or
(iii) [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***] of Schwarz with respect to the operation of
Schwarz's business or the handling, marketing or sale of the
Products by Schwarz, including Schwarz's supply of API
hereunder.
10.2 Notice and Opportunity To Defend. Promptly after receipt by a
party hereto of notice of any claim which could give rise to a right to
indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1. such party (the "Indemnified Party")
shall give the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") written notice describing
the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give
notice in the manner provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that such failure to
give notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend
such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, to
compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter
involving the asserted liability of the party seeking such indemnification. If
the Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or defend any such asserted
liability, it shall promptly (and in any event not less than 10 days after
receipt of the Indemnified Party's original notice) notify the Indemnified Party
in writing of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to
cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise or
defense against any such asserted liability. All reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with such cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying
Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend the asserted
liability, fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to compromise
or defend as herein provided, fails to admit its obligation to indemnify under
this Agreement with respect to the claim, or, if in the reasonable opinion of
the Indemnified Party, the claim could result in the Indemnified Party becoming
subject to injunctive relief or relief other than the payment of money damages
that could materially adversely affect the ongoing business of the Indemnified
Party in any manner, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option,
to pay, compromise or defend such asserted liability by its own counsel
- 25 -
and its reasonable costs and expenses shall be included as part of the
indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may
settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the other; provided,
however, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In any event, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may
participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such asserted liability. If
the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnified Party shall
make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents
within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.2, (i) the party
conducting the defense of a claim shall (A) keep the other party informed on a
reasonable and timely basis as to the status of the defense of such claim (but
only to the extent such other party is not participating jointly in the defense
of such claim), and (B) conduct the defense of such claim in a prudent manner,
and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not cease to defend, settle or otherwise
dispose of any claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
10.3 Indemnification Payment Obligation. No Indemnifying Party will
have any obligations under Sections 10.1(a) or 10.1(b) until the cumulative
aggregate amount of Damages incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party which
the Indemnifying Party is otherwise subject to under this Agreement exceeds
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] at which time the entire cumulative
aggregate amount of such Damages shall be covered. The provisions of this
Section 10.3 shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any
Indemnifying Party under any other Section of this Agreement.
10.4 Indemnification Payment Adjustments. The amount of any Damages for
which indemnification is provided under this Section 10 shall be reduced to take
account of any net tax benefit and shall be increased to take account of any net
tax detriment arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages or from
the receipt of any such indemnification payment and shall be reduced by the
insurance proceeds received and any other amount recovered, if any, by the
Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Party shall not be subject to an obligation to pursue an insurance
claim relating to any Damages for which indemnification is sought hereunder. If
any Indemnified Party shall have received any payment pursuant to this Section
10 with respect to any Damages and shall subsequently have received insurance
proceeds or other amounts with respect to such Damages, then such Indemnified
Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the difference (if
any) between (i) the sum of the amount of those insurance proceeds or other
amounts received and the amount of the payment by such Indemnifying Party
pursuant to this Section 10 with respect to such Damages and (ii) the amount
necessary to fully and completely indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified
Party from and against such Damages; provided, however, in no event will such
Indemnified Party have any obligation pursuant to this sentence to pay to such
Indemnifying Party an amount greater than the amount of the payment by such
Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 10 with respect to such Damages.
10.5 Indemnification Payment. Upon the final determination of liability
and the amount of the indemnification payment under this Section 10, the
appropriate party shall pay to
- 26 -
the other, as the case may be, within 10 business days after such determination,
the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder.
10.6 Survival. The provisions of Section 10 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement. Each Indemnified Party's rights under Section 10
shall not be deemed to have been waived or otherwise affected by such
Indemnified Party's waiver of the breach of any representation, warranty,
agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant this Agreement, unless such
waiver expressly and in writing also waives any or all of the Indemnified
Party's right under Section 10.
SECTION 11
TERMINATION
11.1 Termination. The term of this Agreement shall begin upon the
Closing Date and, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, shall end
with respect to each Product upon the expiration of the last CIMA Patent
applicable to such Product to expire or, if later, the expiration of any other
patent resulting from the development process contemplated hereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(a) Termination for Insolvency. If either Schwarz or CIMA (i)
makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes
insolvent; (ii) files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy; (iii)
petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee
or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any
substantial part of its assets; (iv) commences under the laws of any
jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any
other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed
debtors; or (v) becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type
described above in (iii) or (iv) and such proceeding or action remains
undismissed or unstayed for a period of more than 60 days, then the
other party may by written notice terminate this Agreement in its
entirety with immediate effect.
(b) Termination for Default. Schwarz and CIMA each shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement for default upon the other's
failure to comply in any material respect with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. At least ninety (90) days prior to any such
termination for default, the party seeking to so terminate shall give
the other written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1(b), which notice
shall set forth the default(s) which form the basis for such
termination. If the defaulting party fails to correct such default(s)
within ninety (90) days after receipt of notification, then such party
immediately may terminate this Agreement. This Section 11.1(b) shall
not be exclusive and shall not be in lieu of any other remedies
available to a party hereto for any default hereunder on the part of
the other party.
(c) Unilateral Termination by Schwarz Prior to Launch. Prior
to the Launch of any Product, Schwarz will have the right to
unilaterally terminate this Agreement
- 27 -
either in its entirety or with respect to one or more specific Products
at any time and in its sole discretion upon the delivery of written
notice to CIMA. Any provision herein notwithstanding, in the event that
Schwarz terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(c),
Schwarz's sole obligation under this Agreement shall be to reimburse
CIMA for the costs and expenses actually incurred by CIMA (i) in
performing the development activities set forth on Schedule 4.1(b)
hereto in respect of such terminated Product(s) prior to CIMA's receipt
of such notice of termination and (ii) in connection with the orderly
close out of such development activities; provided, however, that
Schwarz's reimbursement obligations pursuant to this Section 11.1(c) in
respect of any terminated Product(s) shall exclude the costs and
expenses incurred by CIMA in connection with any Development Phase for
which Schwarz has made a Development Fee Payment and shall in no event
exceed the Development Fee Payment associated with the Development
Phase on which CIMA is then working, as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b).
(d) Unilateral Termination by Schwarz After Launch. Following
the Launch of any Product, Schwarz will have the right to unilaterally
terminate this Agreement either in its entirety or with respect to one
or more specific Products and in its sole discretion upon the delivery
of written notice to CIMA. Termination of the Agreement either in its
entirety or with respect to one or more specific Products will be
effective with respect to such Product or Products one hundred eighty
(180) days following such written notice to CIMA.
(e) Continuing Obligations. Termination of this Agreement for
any reason shall not relieve the parties of any obligation accruing
prior thereto with respect to any Product and any ongoing obligations
hereunder with respect to the remaining Products and shall be without
prejudice to the rights and remedies of either party with respect to
any antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no termination of this
Agreement, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, shall serve to
terminate the obligations of the parties hereto under Sections 5.8,
9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 9.9(a), 10, 11.1(c), 11.1(d), 11.1(e) and 12
hereof, and such obligations shall survive any such termination.

employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, sex,
age, or national origin.

order shall not be deemed a waiver of the Buyer's rights to insist upon
strict compliance thereafter.

this order, Seller remains completely responsible for price, delivery and
quality.

1. In order to (i) memorialize the final agreement of the parties
regarding the Milestone Payments applicable to Product #3 ([***CONFIDENTIAL

EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***]) and Product #2 ([***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED,
PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***]) and (ii) replace certain of the Products, as contemplated by
Section 3.4 of the License Agreement,
(a) Schedule 3.1 of the License Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the
Products numbered 5, 6 and 7 in the table therein with the following (the
"Replacement Products") and by replacing the relevant portions of the table
in Schedule 3.1 that relate to the Products numbered 5, 6 and 7 with the
information set forth below:
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***]
Schwarz and CIMA hereby agree that each of the Replacement Products
shall be deemed to be a Product under and as defined in the License Agreement.
(b) Schedule 4.1(b) of the License Agreement is hereby amended such that the
table included in paragraph (a) therein shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the table set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
2. Schwarz and CIMA further agree that, anything to the contrary herein
or in the License Agreement notwithstanding, with respect to Product #7
([***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE

contemplated by paragraph (b) of Schedule 4.1(b) of the License Agreement, shall
be [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] after deadline therefor. In
addition, should CIMA determine, in its reasonable discretion, that a
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] is not suitable and a [***CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND

3. Schwarz and CIMA further agree that, anything to the contrary herein
or in the License Agreement notwithstanding, Product #5 ([***CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***]) will be developed to be packaged in bottles and
blisters; provided, however, that if, for technical or stability reasons,
bottles are not suitable, such Product may be developed to be packaged in
blisters only.
4. Schwarz and CIMA further agree that, anything to the contrary herein
or in the License Agreement notwithstanding, with respect to Product # 6
([***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE

formulation feasibility study ([***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION
OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***]) and
provide a report its findings to Schwarz no later than [***CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***]. At the time of such report, should either party not
want to proceed with the development of such Product, Schwarz will pay CIMA
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***]. If such Product is canceled, Schwarz
may replace Product #6 with a new
-2-
Product in accordance with the License Agreement. Any such replacement Product
will be assigned a Completion Date to be agreed upon by the parties.
5. Section 12 of the License Agreement is hereby, mutatis mutandis,
incorporated by reference as though specifically set forth herein.
6. This Letter Agreement is binding and enforceable against CIMA and
Schwarz notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the License Agreement,
and, in the event of a conflict between this Letter Agreement and the License
Agreement, the terms of this Letter Agreement shall control.

Attention: Chief Executive Officer
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Master Development, License and Supply
Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2001 (as amended, restated or otherwise
modified from time to time, the "License Agreement"), by and between CIMA LABS
INC., a Delaware corporation ("CIMA") and Schwarz Pharma, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Schwarz"). Capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this
letter agreement (this "Letter Agreement") shall have the meanings given them in
the License Agreement.
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned hereby agrees to modify
the License Agreement as follows:
3. In order to memorialize (a) the replacement of the Product numbered

(b) In order to memorialize the agreement of the parties regarding an increase

5. Anything to the contrary herein or in the License Agreement

such development activities contemplate CIMA conducting up to an aggregate total
of [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] stability study pulls (the "Expected
Stability Work"). In the event that such development activities require more
than the Expected Stability Work, the parties shall negotiate in good faith
additional compensation to be paid to CIMA on a per-pull basis.
6. Anything to the contrary in the License Agreement notwithstanding,
Schwarz and CIMA hereby agree that Schwarz will pay CIMA the sum of
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] promptly upon receipt of CIMA's invoice
therefore, which amount shall satisfy in full Schwarz's obligations to CIMA in
respect of CIMA's development efforts in connection with the pharmaceutical
product [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] pursuant to the License
Agreement.
5. In order to memorialize certain agreements of the parties regarding
modifications to Schwarz's obligations to supply API, the License Agreement is
hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 1 of the License Agreement is amended by adding the following
defined term thereto:
"'Provide' shall have the meaning given in Section 3.2 hereof."
(b) Section 3.2 of the License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:
"3.2 Supply of API.
(a) The parties shall be responsible
for Providing API as follows:
(i) CIMA shall be responsible for
Providing all API consisting of
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED,
PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] and
all API that is classified as a "controlled
substance" by the United States Drug
Enforcement Agency ("DEA API"); provided,
however, that CIMA shall notify Schwarz, at
least forty-eight (48) hours prior to any
order, of the quantity of such API that CIMA
proposes to order. If Schwarz notifies CIMA
within such forty-eight (48) hour period
that Schwarz disagrees with the amount of
API that CIMA proposes to order, CIMA shall
postpone such order until such time as the
parties shall agree upon the appropriate
amount of such API.
(ii) Schwarz shall be responsible for
Providing all API not required to be
provided by CIMA pursuant to clause (i),
above.
(b) The parties shall each be responsible
for the costs of Providing API incurred by them;
provided, however, that within thirty (30) days from
CIMA invoice date therefor, Schwarz shall, except as
set forth in Section 3.2(e), below,
(i) reimburse CIMA for the purchase
price (excluding any costs described in
Section 3.2(b)(iv), below) of any API
purchased by CIMA;
(ii) pay CIMA a sourcing fee equal to
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED,
PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] of
the aggregate purchase price of any API
consisting of [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***] purchased by CIMA as
contemplated hereby;
(iii) pay CIMA a sourcing fee in
respect of any DEA API equal to (A)
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED,
PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] of
the aggregate purchase price of such DEA
API, until such aggregate purchase price
reaches [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES
-3-
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] in any Year and
(B) [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED,
PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] of
the aggregate purchase price of such DEA
API, to the extent that such aggregate
purchase price exceeds [***CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***] in any Year; and
(iv) reimburse CIMA for
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED,
PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***]
which CIMA incurs in connection with
Providing API in accordance with Section
3.2(a)(i).
(c) As used herein, "Provide" means that the
applicable party shall be responsible, in respect of
the API which it is responsible for Providing, for
ordering, receiving and testing such API, paying
supplier invoices therefor, releasing such API for
use, auditing suppliers thereof for cGMP compliance
and keeping Schwarz's Regulatory Affairs department
apprised of the status of the Drug Master Files in
respect of such API.
(d) CIMA shall, promptly following the end
of each Quarter, furnish to Schwarz a written report
of the total amount of each type of API in CIMA's
inventory as of the final day of such Quarter, as
reflected on CIMA's books and records.
(e) Schwarz agrees and acknowledges that it
shall be responsible to CIMA for the amounts
described in this Section 3.2 that CIMA incurs in
respect of any API that is used, lost, destroyed or
otherwise consumed in connection with the development
activities described on the Development Schedule. In
the event, however, that any API is lost, stolen,
destroyed, or otherwise consumed at CIMA's facilities
other than in connection with such development
activities ("Lost API"), CIMA agrees to (i) file and
pursue a claim for the value of such Lost API under
its applicable insurance policy and (ii) promptly
remit to Schwarz any proceeds received from its
insurers in respect of such Lost API."
(c) Section 12.3 of the License Agreement is amended by deleting the last
sentence thereof and replacing the same with the following:
"Except as set forth in Section 3.2(e), the
indemnification provided in Section 10 shall be the sole remedy available for
any Damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement except for any
rights or remedies which the parties hereto may otherwise have in equity."
(d) Section 5.1(d) of the License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:
-4-
"(d) The parties shall be responsible for
Providing, in accordance with Section 3.2 and with
Schwarz's forecasts provided in accordance with
Section 5.4, quantities of API sufficient for (i) for
CIMA to perform its obligations pursuant to Schedule
3.1 and Sections 5.1 and 5.5 at least
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***] prior to the date of tablet
manufacture and (ii) [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] of safety
stock. All API not Provided by Schwarz must conform
to Schwarz's then current raw materials
specifications. CIMA shall not be accountable for any
production or shipment delays due to lack of any API
that Schwarz is required to Provide pursuant to
Section 3.2."
6. The parties hereby agree that, anything to the contrary in the
License Agreement notwithstanding, any Products that are contemplated in the
License Agreement as being packaged using "CIMA Standard" packaging and/or "CIMA
Standard" tablet size, may, at Schwarz's sole option, be packaged using child
resistant packaging ("CR Packaging") and/or utilize non-standard tablet size
tooling ("Off-Size Tooling"). In accordance with such agreement, in the event
that Schwarz elects to have any Products packaged in CR Packaging and/or utilize
Off-Size Tooling, the parties further agree as follows:
(a) CIMA shall be solely responsible for the development of CR
Packaging and/or Off-Size Tooling for each applicable Product in accordance with
specifications to be provided by Schwarz; provided, however, that Schwarz shall
reimburse CIMA, on a Quarterly basis and, within thirty (30) days after receipt
of invoices from CIMA, for all costs incurred by CIMA in connection with any
design and testing activities in respect of the CR Packaging that are conducted
by third parties and which are approved in advance by Schwarz.
(b) CIMA shall be responsible, subject to Schwarz's approval, not to
unreasonably be withheld, for the purchase of any equipment needed for CR
Packaging and Off-Size Tooling that is not then owned or leased by CIMA. The
aggregate purchase price (the "Equipment Costs") of the equipment to be
purchased by CIMA in order to perform its obligations under this paragraph 6
(the "Optional Equipment") [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION
OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***].
Such Equipment Costs shall be included, [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***] cost included in the calculation of the Cost of Goods of
each Product in accordance with Schedule 5.3 of the License Agreement;
provided, however, that the portion of the Equipment Cost allocable to
Schwarz during any Year shall be determined [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***] for the Product(s) requiring CR Packaging or Off-Size
Tooling, as applicable, in accordance with [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
-5-
EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] for such Year and; provided further, that
Schwarz shall not be responsible, during any Year, for any Equipment
Costs to the extent that the Optional Equipment is used for products
other than Products, determined [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED,
PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***] in accordance with [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] during such Year. In the event that Schwarz
cancels all Products requiring CR Packaging or Off-Size Tooling in
accordance with the terms of the License Agreement, within
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] of the cancellation of
the last such Product requiring such packaging, Schwarz shall pay to
CIMA the amount of the Equipment Costs related to the CR Packaging or
the Off-Size Tooling, as applicable, that have not theretofore been
reimbursed by Schwarz or a third party.
7. The parties hereby agree that Schwarz shall have the right,
exercisable by delivering written notice to CIMA at any time on or prior to the
date that is [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] after the date of
this Letter Agreement, to initiate negotiations with CIMA for the development
and supply of the pharmaceutical product [***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED,
PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.***] (the "Option Product") in accordance with this paragraph 7. Upon
Schwarz's exercise of such option, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the
specific terms applicable to the Option Product, which terms shall thereupon be
memorialized in a formal license and supply agreement (the "New Agreement");
provided, however that the terms of the New Agreement shall be similar to the
terms of the License Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, CIMA shall be
obligated to commence development of the Option Product no later than
[***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED, PORTION OMITTED FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.***] from the later of (i) the effective date
of the New Agreement and (ii) CIMA's receipt of the active ingredient required
for the Option Product.
8. Section 12 of the License Agreement is hereby, mutatis mutandis,
incorporated by reference as though specifically set forth herein.
9. This Letter Agreement is binding and enforceable against CIMA and
Schwarz notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the License Agreement,
and, in the event of a conflict between this Letter Agreement and the License
Agreement, the terms of this Letter Agreement shall control.
10. Each of the undersigned hereby ratifies the License Agreement, as
modified by this Letter Agreement, and agrees that the License Agreement, as

10. Whereas, the parties have mutually determined that the development

(b) notwithstanding the Milestone Payments that Schwarz has heretofore made to
CIMA pursuant to Schedule 4.1(b) of the License Agreement in respect of
