PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 17th day of August, 1994, by
and between Penwest Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("Penwest"), and Mylan
Pharmaceuticals Inc., a West Virginia corporation ("Mylan").
A. Penwest has developed a controlled-release agent covered by
one or more patents, patent applications, know-how and other proprietary
technology, which agent Penwest markets under the name "TIMERx" ("TIMERx").
Penwest has conducted initial biostudies with respect to the potential
development of a pharmaceutical product incorporating the active ingredient
Nifedipine ("Nifedipine"), TIMERx, and one or more other excipients.
B. Mylan is interested in developing for manufacture a
pharmaceutical product incorporating Nifedipine in a solid-dosage
controlled-release delivery system for oral administration in humans.
C. The parties desire to engage in certain research, development,
and testing activities designed to determine if Penwest's TIMERx
controlled-release system can be adapted and combined with Nifedipine to make a
generic controlled-release version of Nifedipine for oral solid-dosage
administration in humans that is bioequivalent to the product currently being
marketed in the United States under the name "Procardia XL." If such activities
are successful, Mylan desires to contract for a supply of TIMERx for use in the
manufacture of such a controlled-release form of Nifedipine, and Penwest is
willing to supply the same provided that Mylan agrees to obtain all of its
requirements for controlled-release agents for Nifedipine products that are
essentially bioequivalent to "Procardia XL" in the form of TIMERx from Penwest
as provided herein.

agree with Mylan, Penwest shall not have any obligation to Mylan other than to
accomplish at Mylan's option any of the following:
i) at its own expense accept return of any shipment not
accepted; or
ii) reimburse Mylan for the cost of disposal or
destruction; and
iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the
non-conforming shipment with conforming Formulated
TIMERx.
5.7 In case Penwest cannot supply Mylan the requested quantities
of the Formulated TIMERx, the shipments may be made by an alternate supplier
designated by Penwest with Mylan's consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Penwest will qualify (in Penwest's reasonable judgment)
at least one such alternate supplier and notify Mylan thereof no later than 180
days following the Approval Date. If Mylan has any objections to such supplier,
it shall so notify Penwest within fifteen days following Penwest's notice of
such qualification, or else Mylan will be deemed to have consented to such
qualification and the designation of such supplier. Such shipment by the
alternate supplier shall be made under the same agreed terms and conditions as
those set forth herein, except that an additional 60 days shall be added to the
order lead time stated in any then-outstanding order for Formulated TIMERx
hereunder to reflect the transition time required to shift to such alternate
supplier. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Penwest
will be responsible for enforcing all relevant terms and conditions set forth
herein against such alternate supplier and remain liable to Mylan for any breach
of such terms and conditions by such supplier.
5.8 If for any reason Penwest (or the alternate supplier) fails to
supply Mylan with its and its Affiliates' and sublicensees' requirements of
Formulated TIMERx during the Marketing Period as agreed hereunder, Penwest shall
grant Mylan a nonexclusive license to manufacture Formulated TIMERx under the
TIMERx Production Technology and make knowledgeable personnel reasonably
available to consult with Mylan, all to the extent necessary to enable Mylan to
produce Formulated TIMERx that would otherwise have been supplied by Penwest or
an alternate supplier hereunder for Mylan and its Affiliates and sublicensees in
connection with the production of the Designated Product pursuant to this
Agreement.
5.8.1 In such event Mylan shall pay to Penwest, in addition to the
Royalties under Section , Production Royalties equal to *************, if any,

in accordance with Section (to the extent the same is Confidential Technology)
and shall use such information and technology only for the purpose of producing
Formulated TIMERx for its own use and the use of its Affiliates and sublicensees
in connection with this Agreement.
5.8.3 Mylan acknowledges that, in doing the foregoing, Penwest will
not be providing a "turnkey" operation. Rather, Penwest will only be required to
make reasonably available to Mylan the best standard of knowledge and
information then available to Penwest and directly used in its or its
Affiliate's manufacture of Formulated TIMERx. If any professional licenses,
visas, or other permits are required for any of the consulting to be provided by
Penwest's or its Affiliates' or licensees' personnel, Mylan shall so inform
Penwest and Mylan shall bear the costs of obtaining the same.
5.8.4 Neither Penwest nor its Affiliates or licensees will be
responsible for any failure of Mylan or its personnel to understand or properly
to implement such knowledge and information or for any materials made by any
party other than Penwest or such respective Affiliate or licensee using such
knowledge and information.
5.8.5 If Penwest's non-delivery of Formulated TIMERx resulted in
whole or in part from a temporary inability to produce and deliver the same,
Penwest may, at its option and on at least 120 days' prior written notice to
Mylan, terminate the license to produce Formulated TIMERx hereunder once Penwest
or its alternative supplier is again able and willing to supply Formulated
TIMERx hereunder.
5.9 Penwest shall, after receipt of reasonable prior notice, give
duly accredited representatives of Mylan access at all reasonable times during
regular business hours to inspect, copy, and audit any relevant records of
Penwest's or its Affiliate's plant in which the Formulated TIMERx is being
produced.

circumstance, condition or knowledge dealing with TIMERx or the Designated
Product of which the Party becomes aware that bears upon the safety or efficacy
of TIMERx or the Designated Product. Each party shall immediately notify the

Designated Product by any governmental regulatory authority in the Territory. If
a representative of the governmental authority takes samples in connection with
such audit or inspection, the parties shall immediately provide each other, as
appropriate, samples from the same batch. The party in receipt of such notice
will provide the other party within 72 hours, with copies of all relevant

Mylan also agree to discuss any responses to observations or notifications
received and to give the other party an opportunity to comment on any proposed
response before it is made. In the event of disagreement concerning the content
or form of such response, Mylan shall be responsible for deciding the

so as agreed hereunder. Penwest and its Affiliates shall have the right to grant
sublicenses of its rights hereunder to an alternate supplier as and for the
purposes described in Section , but shall otherwise have no right to grant
sublicenses hereunder without the prior written consent of Mylan, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.5 Subject to and conditional upon the failure of Penwest (or the
alternate supplier) to meet Mylan's and its Affiliates' and sublicensees'

6.6 Mylan acknowledges that Penwest and its Affiliates, for itself and
for others, applies, and will seek to apply, TIMERx to products other than the

worldwide license, with right to sublicense, under any and all Mylan

from Penwest or its Affiliate. Penwest shall notify Mylan at least *********
prior to granting any sublicense to the rights under this section (other than to
a Penwest Affiliate or as to the Available Portion), and shall consult with
Mylan as to the propriety of such sublicense if Mylan, within such ********
period, notifies Penwest of Mylan's belief, on reasonable grounds stated in such
notice, that such a sublicense would have a substantial adverse effect on Mylan
or its business. Mylan hereby consents to Penwest's and its Affiliates' and
sublicensees' cross-referencing, in any filings that are essentially the
equivalent of the sorts of filings that are termed "ANDA" or "NDA" filings if
made with the FDA, made by them within the scope of such license, any ANDA or

7. CONFIDENTIALITY.
7.1 In the course of performance under this Agreement, a party may
disclose to the other confidential information belonging to such party in
writing, orally or by demonstration or sample, which information is marked or
stated in writing at or within 30 days after its disclosure to be "confidential"
or "trade secret" information. All such confidential information of a party
shall be maintained in confidence by the other and will not be used by the other
party for any purpose except as authorized hereunder. Each party shall exercise,
and shall cause its Affiliates, sublicensees and consultants to exercise, a
reasonable degree of care and at least the same degree of care as it uses to
protect its own confidential information of similar nature to preserve the
confidentiality of such information of the other party. Each party shall
safeguard such information against disclosure to third parties, including
without limitation employees and persons working or consulting for such party
that do not have an established, current need to know such information for
purposes authorized under this Agreement. This obligation of confidentiality
does not apply to information and material that:
7.1.1 were properly in the possession of the receiving party,
without any restriction on use or disclosure, prior to receipt from the other
party;
7.1.2 are at the time of disclosure hereunder in the public domain
by public use, publication, or general knowledge;
7.1.3 become general or public knowledge through no fault of the

provided, however, that the exceptions stated in Sections , , and shall not
affect the continuing obligation of Mylan as the receiving party to pay any
Royalties pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the use of such
information or materials that have not, as of the relevant time, been placed
into the public domain by the act of Penwest or its Affiliates.

7.2 Neither party shall make any public announcement or other
publication regarding this Agreement (whether as to the existence or terms
hereof) or the development work or project hereunder or the results thereof
without the prior, written consent of the other party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any
disclosure which, in the opinion of counsel to the disclosing party, is required
by any applicable law or by any competent governmental authority. In no event
shall either party make any disclosure of any such results before a patent
application has been filed with respect thereto, except upon the prior written
approval of the other party.
8. INFRINGEMENT.
8.1 Penwest shall promptly inform Mylan of any suspected
infringement of any of the Penwest Patents or the infringement or
misappropriation of the TIMERx Production Technology by a third party, to the
extent such infringement involves the manufacture, use or sale of the Designated
Product in the Territory ("Covered Infringement"). Mylan shall promptly inform
Penwest of any suspected infringement of any of the Penwest Patents or
infringement or misappropriation of the TIMERx Production Technology, whether or
not the same involves a Covered Infringement.
8.2 If the suspected infringement or misappropriation does not
involve a Covered Infringement, Penwest may take, or refrain from taking, any
action it chooses, with or without notice to Mylan, and Mylan shall have no
right to take any action with respect to such suspected infringement or
misappropriation, nor to any recoveries with respect thereto. If the suspected
infringement or misappropriation involves a Covered Infringement, Penwest shall,
within 30 days of the first notice referred to in Section , inform Mylan whether
or not Penwest intends to institute suit against such third party with respect
to a Covered Infringement. Mylan will not take any steps toward instituting suit
against any third party involving a Covered Infringement until Penwest has
informed Mylan of its intention pursuant to the previous sentence.
8.3 If Penwest notifies Mylan that it intends to institute suit
against a third party with respect to a Covered Infringement, and Mylan does not
agree to join in such suit as provided in Section , Penwest may bring such suit
on its own and shall in such event bear all costs of, and shall exercise all
control over, such suit. Penwest may, at its expense, bring such action in the
name of Mylan and/or cause Mylan to be joined in the suit as a plaintiff.
Recoveries, if any, whether by judgment, award, decree or settlement, shall
belong solely to Penwest.
8.4 If Penwest notifies Mylan that it desires to institute suit
against such third party with respect to a Covered Infringement, and Mylan
notifies Penwest within 30 days after receipt of such notice that Mylan desires
to institute suit jointly,
-22-
23
the suit shall be brought jointly in the names of both parties and all costs
thereof shall be borne equally. Recoveries, if any, whether by judgment, award,
decree or settlement, shall, after the reimbursement of each of Penwest and
Mylan for its share of the joint costs in such action, be shared between Penwest
and Mylan equally; provided however that, any portion of such net recoveries
which constitutes the equivalent of, or damages or payments in lieu of, a
royalty measured by the defendant's Net Sales shall not be shared equally, but
shall be shared between Penwest and Mylan in accordance with Section as if they
were Mylan's Net Sales.
8.5 If Penwest notifies Mylan that it does not intend to institute
suit against such third party with respect to a Covered Infringement, Mylan may
institute suit on its own. Mylan shall bear all costs of, and shall exercise all
control over, such suit. Recoveries, if any, whether by judgment, award, decree
or settlement, shall belong solely to Mylan; provided however that, after
reimbursement of Mylan for its costs in such action, any portion of such net
recoveries which constitutes the equivalent of, or damages or payments in lieu
of, a royalty measured by the defendant's Net Sales shall be shared between
Penwest and Mylan in accordance with Section as if they were Mylan's Net Sales.
8.6 Should either Penwest or Mylan commence a suit under the
provisions of this Section and thereafter elect to abandon the same, it shall
give timely notice to the other party, who may, if it so desires, be joined as a
plaintiff in the suit (or continue as such if it is already one) and continue
prosecution of such suit. The sharing of expenses and any recovery of such suit
shall be as reasonably agreed between Penwest and Mylan.
9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES.
9.1 Each party represents and warrants to the other that, to the
best of its current knowledge, it has the full right and authority to enter into
this Agreement and to grant the licenses granted herein. Each party believes, to
the best of its current knowledge, that any existing patents licensed by it to
the other party under this Agreement are valid.
9.2 Penwest represents and warrants that any Formulated TIMERx
supplied by it to Mylan hereunder for use in the Designated Product, at the
point of delivery:
9.2.1 will conform to the product Specifications that Penwest and

9.2.2 to the best of Penwest's current knowledge, will not infringe
upon an article patent of any third party.

PENWEST MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO ANY TIMERx OR FORMULATED
TIMERx SUPPLIED BY IT TO MYLAN EXCEPT AS ARE EXPLICITLY STATED HEREIN.
9.3 Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it
has obtained and will at all times during the term of this Agreement, hold and
comply with all licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to perform this
Agreement and to test, manufacture, market, export, and import the products and
assistance to be provided by it hereunder, as now or hereafter required under
any applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the United
States and any applicable foreign, state, and local governments and governmental
entities.
9.4 Mylan warrants that any Designated Product manufactured,
marketed or distributed by Mylan or its Affiliates or sublicensees shall meet
and be manufactured, packaged, labeled, sold, and promoted in accordance with
all applicable regulatory requirements within the Territory.
9.5 Penwest shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mylan and
its Affiliates and sublicensees from any claim, action or damages arising out of
any alleged infringement by reason of the manufacture, use or sale by Mylan of
the Designated Product to the extent such infringement would apply as well to
the manufacture, sale or distribution of TIMERx alone. If Mylan or its Affiliate
or sublicensee, by reason of its manufacture, sale or distribution of Designated
Product, is accused of infringing the patent of a third party, and such claim of
infringement, as framed by the claimant, would apply as well to the manufacture,
sale or distribution of TIMERx alone, Mylan shall immediately so notify Penwest
and provide Penwest all available information, and the parties shall consult
reasonably as to the proper course of action. If Penwest and Mylan jointly
determine that such claim is likely to prevail, or if an arbitrator hereunder or
a court of competent jurisdiction so determines, Mylan shall be entitled to
offset against any Royalties payable to Penwest hereunder any third party
royalties for which Mylan or its Affiliate or sublicensee becomes liable.
9.6 Penwest shall indemnify, defend and hold Mylan and its
Affiliates and sublicensees harmless from any and all third-party claims to the
extent arising from, in connection with, based upon, by reason of, or relating
in any way to:

9.6.3 any failure of the Formulated TIMERx manufactured by Penwest
or its alternate supplier (but not by Mylan under Section ), as delivered to
Mylan hereunder for use in the Designated Product, to conform to the
Specifications; or
9.6.4 any failure of Penwest to comply with its obligation under
Section 5.13 to notify Mylan of any information coming into Penwest's possession
and *************************** the Designated Product and not arising from any
other aspect of the Designated Product or its formulation, development, supply,
production, manufacture, sale, delivery, distribution or use, nor from any act
or omission of Mylan with respect to the Formulated TIMERx following its
delivery to Mylan hereunder.
9.7 Mylan shall indemnify, defend and hold Penwest harmless from
any and all third-party claims to the extent arising from, in connection with,
based upon, by reason of, or relating in any way to, the formulation,
development, supply, production, manufacture, sale, delivery, distribution or
use of the Designated Product, ************************************************.
9.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere
herein, neither Mylan nor Penwest shall be obligated to indemnify the other
party for claims or liabilities to the extent arising from such other party's,
or its Affiliates', sublicensees' or assigns', negligence, intentional
misconduct, or breach of its duties, obligations, warranties or representations
set forth herein.
9.9 Whenever indemnification is provided for a party under this
Agreement, such right of indemnification shall extend also to the indemnified
party's Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, successors, assigns,
agents, employees, and insurers to the extent the same become subject to such
claim in such capacity. The party seeking indemnification shall provide the
indemnifying party with written notice of any claim or action within ten (10)
days of its receipt thereof, and shall afford the indemnifying party the right
to control the defense and settlement of such claim or action. The party seeking
indemnification shall provide reasonable assistance to the indemnifying party in
the defense of such claim or action. If the defendants in any such action
include both Mylan and Penwest and either party concludes that there may be
legal defenses available to it which are different from, additional to, or
inconsistent with, those available to the other, that party shall have the right
to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its
-25-
26
behalf, and such party shall thereafter bear the cost and expense of such
separate defense. Should the indemnifying party determine not to defend such
claim or action, the other party shall have the right to maintain the defense of
such claim or action and the indemnifying party agrees to provide reasonable
assistance to it in the defense of such claim or action. Neither party shall
settle any such claim or action in a way that prejudices or adversely impacts
the other party to this Agreement without the prior approval of such other party
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
9.10 Any dispute concerning indemnification will be determined by
arbitration in accordance with Section of this Agreement.
9.11 THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR ARISING BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NOTHING IN
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY (i) BY PENWEST

DATA.
9.12 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN (OTHER
THAN THE INDEMNITIES STATED IN THIS SECTION ), NEITHER PARTY SHALL UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS OR
SAVINGS, ARISING FROM ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF ANY
OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE TIMERx, THE
DESIGNATED PRODUCT, PENWEST PATENTS, PENWEST'S CONFIDENTIAL TECHNOLOGY, TIMERx
PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY, PENWEST TEST AND REGULATORY DATA, MYLAN IMPROVEMENTS, OR
MYLAN TEST AND REGULATORY DATA, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
9.13 Each party shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain
from a qualified insurance company comprehensive general liability and products
liability insurance coverage during the term of this Agreement (and any
subsequent period of sale or distribution pursuant to Section ). Such insurance
shall be in an amount no

the award is rendered. Any award rendered pursuant to the terms and conditions
set forth herein shall be final and binding upon the parties and their

Washington, D.C., or such other site as the parties may mutually agree. All
costs and expenses including reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and
expenses of the arbitrators and the AAA, incurred in the enforcement of this
Agreement shall be paid to the prevailing party by the non-prevailing party,
provided that the same may be apportioned between the parties by the arbitrators
if they determine that each party has prevailed in part. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, either party may, on good cause shown, seek a temporary restraining
order and/or a preliminary injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction, to
be effective pending the institution of the arbitration process and the
deliberation and award of the arbitration panel.
