An acceptance or rejection of an Authorized Distributor shall mean that the parties agree or do not agree to proceed with discussions and negotiations with said Authorized Distributor. It is specifically recognized by both parties that the discussions and negotiations may not lead to an Authorized Distributor Agreement and neither party makes any warranty as to the success of the negotiations leading to an Authorized Distributor Agreement. 2.2 The terms of the Authorized Distributor Agreement(s), if any, shall be determined by PENWEST and the Authorized Distributor, provided that none of such terms shall conflict with this Agreement nor preclude PENWEST's compliance with this Agreement, specifically including, but not limited to, protecting the confidentiality of the MYLAN Manufacturing Technology. MYLAN shall be entitled to review the terms and conditions of any Authorized Distributor Agreement. It is understood that, while PENWEST intends to attempt to obtain and to maintain one or more Authorized Distributors, it has not committed that it will be able to do so and will have no liability to MYLAN for any failure to do so. Except as set forth in Section 2.3 and Section 5.7, MYLAN shall have no responsibility for assisting PENWEST or the Authorized Distributor in obtaining registrations or approval to market the Product in the Territory. 2.3 Upon request for specific information by PENWEST and/or an Authorized Distributor, MYLAN shall, at no significant expense to MYLAN, provide to the Authorized Distributor, in a reasonably timely manner, such information in its possession necessary to allow the Authorized Distributor to obtain and maintain regulatory approval to market the Products in the Territory.

ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSIONS. Products in the Territory. Any such disclosure shall be subject to the Confidentiality provisions set forth herein. PENWEST shall confirm the date of submission of all applications for required registrations and approvals from any applicable regulatory authority in the Territory and then quarterly inform MYLAN in writing about the status of said application in the Territory, as such information is available to PENWEST from the Authorized Distributor. PENWEST shall also obtain the agreement of the Authorized Distributor(s) ************ to obtain the necessary registrations in the Territory and to market and sell the Product in the Territory. III. TERM The Term of this Agreement shall begin on the date first hereinabove entered and shall continue for a period of ten (10) years ("Initial Term") or, if later, until the expiration of the term of any Authorized Distributor Agreement then in force, provided that MYLAN was given notice of such term of the Authorized Distributor Agreement at least ******************* prior to its execution and MYLAN did not object thereto in writing within such period; provided, however, that MYLAN has already received notice of the proposed term of an agreement with Sanofi, as set forth in Exhibit 2 hereto, and need not be given further notice thereof as to that agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional terms of one (1) year ("Additional Terms") unless, not later than six (6) months prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Additional Term, one party provides written notice to the other party that the term of this Agreement will not be renewed past the end of such then-current term. The term of this Agreement will, at PENWEST's option, remain in effect as specified herein notwithstanding the earlier termination of the Nifedipine XL Agreement, but only if such termination is as a result of: (i) the expiration of the Term of the Nifedipine XL Agreement or (ii) the breach of the Nifedipine XL Agreement by MYLAN. In the event the Term of this Agreement exists beyond the term of the Nifedipine XL Agreement, those terms and provisions contained in the Nifedipine XL Agreement, which are necessary for MYLAN to perform under this Agreement shall survive as if fully set forth herein. IV. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE 4.1 MYLAN agrees to indemnify, defend and hold PENWEST harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, ("Losses") resulting from or arising out of MYLAN's manufacturing, storage, handling, distribution, and/or delivery of the -6- 7 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

An Indemnified Party's failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not, however, relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability under this Agreement to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually denied, during the period of delay in notice, the opportunity to remedy or otherwise mitigate the event or activity(ies) giving rise to the claim for indemnification and thereby suffers or otherwise incurs additional liquidated or other readily quantifiable damages as a -7- 8 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSIONS. result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party, while reserving the right to contest its obligations to indemnify hereunder, shall be responsible for the defense of any claim, demand, lawsuit, or other proceeding in connection with which the Indemnified Party claims indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate jointly with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim, demand, lawsuit or other proceeding, but with respect to any issue involved in such claim, demand, lawsuit or other proceeding with respect to which the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to select counsel, settle, try or otherwise dispose of or handle such claim, demand, lawsuit or other proceeding on such terms as the Indemnifying Party shall deem appropriate, subject to any reasonable objection of the Indemnified Party. 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 behalf, and such party shall thereafter bear the cost and expense of such separate defense. 4.4 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. Such insurance shall be in an amount no less than ********************************* combined single limit for each occurrence for bodily injury and/or property damage. Each party agrees to provide the other party with a certificate of insurance evidencing such insurance within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement and again thereafter from time to time as reasonably requested by such other party. -8- 9 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSIONS. V.

Provided, however, if the combined first, second, and third components of the price exceeded the Product Sales Price in any instance, that excess shall be so paid to MYLAN from the Other Compensation, if any, and ********* of the balance of the Other Compensation shall then be paid to MYLAN under this Section. If additional biostudies should be required for Product approval in the Territory, MYLAN and PENWEST will ********* ********* the cost of additional biostudies. PENWEST shall **************** for said required biostudies and shall be reimbursed the amount from Other Compensation until such amount has been recovered by PENWEST up to a maximum of **********. The necessity of such studies shall be agreed to by both MYLAN and PENWEST. VI. SUPPLY OF PRODUCT 6.1 As provided herein, PENWEST shall purchase in whole lot quantities, and MYLAN will supply PENWEST with, sufficient quantities of Product to meet all of the requirements therefor of each Authorized Distributor during the term of this Agreement; provided, however, that MYLAN will supply, in less than whole lot quantities, up to a ****************** as reasonably requested for use in the testing and certification of the Product and its manufacture. MYLAN and PENWEST will share equally the costs of such testing and certification quantities by adjustments to the amounts payable from Other Compensation. To the extent permitted under applicable law, PENWEST shall cause the Authorized Distributor(s) to agree that they shall purchase all of their requirements for the Product from PENWEST during such period, subject to such commercially reasonable contingent agreements (the "Contingent License") as PENWEST may make to permit one or more Authorized Distributors to manufacture the Product on its own (or to obtain it from an alternate source) in the event that MYLAN is not able, or for any reason fails, for any continuous period in excess of *********, or has been so unable, or has so failed, for any cumulative period of ***************************, to supply PENWEST hereunder Product sufficient in quantity and quality to meet such Authorized Distributor's requirements therefor, including without limitation the Consignment Inventory described in Section 6.8. 6.2 MYLAN shall purchase and PENWEST shall supply TIMERx for use in the manufacture of the Product pursuant to this Agreement at the price, and on the terms, set forth in the Nifedipine XL Agreement. Following the FDA U.S. -10- 11 approval of the Designated Product for sale under the Nifedipine XL Agreement, quantities to be purchased hereunder shall be added to the estimates and orders called for under the Nifedipine XL Agreement. If PENWEST notifies MYLAN of an Authorized Distributor's estimates for Product to be ordered hereunder (whether before or after FDA approval of the Designated Product for sale in the Mylan Territory under the Nifedipine XL Agreement), MYLAN shall time its orders for TIMERx accordingly, as if (for such scheduling purposes) the Authorized Distributor's requested shipment dates were the dates for MYLAN's sales of the Designated Product under the Nifedipine XL Agreement. Payment for the TIMERx shall be made as provided in the Nifedipine XL Agreement. 6.3 All sales of Product shall be F.O.B., Morgantown, West Virginia, or Caguas, Puerto Rico, as MYLAN may specify (but no change from one location to the other shall be made on less than 45 days' prior written notice), and PENWEST or the Authorized Distributor (as they may agree) shall bear all transportation, insurance, taxes, duties, and other costs and risks of loss, spoilage and damage associated with the shipping and delivery of Product to PENWEST or the Authorized Distributor. 6.4 MYLAN shall be responsible to obtain and maintain any and all regulatory approvals and licenses for the manufacture of the Product by it in West Virginia and/or in Puerto Rico and for export from those locations to the Territory. MYLAN warrants that it will not change or modify the formulation, manufacturing methods, Bulk Packaging specifications, and/or Product Specifications as provided hereunder, without at least thirty days' prior written notice to PENWEST. If MYLAN is required by the FDA to change the formulation, manufacturing methods, or Product Specifications for the product it is then making for sale in the MYLAN Territory, or MYLAN otherwise institutes such changes on its own due to its good faith determination that the same are necessary or beneficial for the production of the product for sale in the MYLAN Territory, and if such changes would require the consent of any regulatory agency in the Territory with regard to the approval or continuing right to use the same in connection with the Product for sale in the relevant country, MYLAN will have the following options, with respect to the relevant country(ies) in the Territory: 6.4.1 MYLAN may continue to manufacture the Product under the prior formulation, manufacturing methods and Product Specifications, for supply under this Agreement, and Section 1.6.2 will be applicable; 6.4.2 where such changes may reasonably be acceptable to the relevant regulatory agency(ies), MYLAN may assist PENWEST and the Authorized Distributor to secure the approval from the relevant health -11- 12 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSIONS. regulatory agency(ies) in the Territory for its making the same changes with respect to the Product to be supplied under this Agreement, including without limitation MYLAN's sharing equally with PENWEST the costs of all reasonable efforts to secure such approval(s); 6.4.3 MYLAN may permit this circumstance to be a triggering event that brings into effect the Contingent License, without the contingency of the passage of the 30 days specified in Section 6.1. MYLAN must pursue at least one of these options with respect to each applicable country in the Territory at all times, in such a circumstance. MYLAN may pursue more than one of these options simultaneously as follows: If MYLAN pursues the option in 6.4.1, it may, but it need not, also pursue the option in 6.4.2 (and, in either case, the option in 6.4.3 would not be then applicable). If MYLAN pursues the option in 6.4.3, it may, but it need not, also pursue the option in 6.4.2 (but, in either case, the option in 6.4.1 would not be then applicable). MYLAN must pursue either 6.4.1 or 6.4.3 in conjunction with 6.4.2, if it elects to pursue 6.4.2 at all. 6.5 At least ********* before an Authorized Distributor begins sale of the Product, PENWEST shall deliver to MYLAN a written, non-binding estimate of all the Authorized Distributor's requirements of Product for the ********* ********* period following the anticipated first commercial sale by the Authorized Distributor. PENWEST will deliver to MYLAN updates to such estimates on or before the first day of each ********* thereafter during the term of this Agreement, which updates may revise estimates previously submitted and will add estimates for additional months so that at all times such estimate shall cover the ****************** ********* period following the end of the ********* in which the estimate is made. MYLAN shall not be obligated to supply the Authorized Distributor with quantities of the Product during any ********* in excess of ****************** of the quantities estimated in the Authorized Distributor's highest written estimate applicable to that *********. 6.6 PENWEST shall deliver to MYLAN a firm written order stating the Authorized Distributor's requirements for Product no less than ********* in advance of the requested delivery date therefor. To the extent practicable, PENWEST will group into single orders all such requirements for each Authorized Distributor -12- 13 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSIONS. for the entire Territory for each ********* covered by each such order. 6.7 No order for the Product hereunder may be cancelled or deferred by PENWEST except by written notice delivered to MYLAN at least ********* prior to the scheduled delivery date. No orders may be cancelled or deferred (even with such ********* notice) without MYLAN's approval if such cancellation or deferral would reduce PENWEST's or the Authorized Distributor's purchases for the ********* *************************** of the highest quantities of the Product estimated as to such *********. 6.8 MYLAN will supply to PENWEST, to be consigned with the applicable Authorized Distributor, an inventory of approximately ********* production of the Product for such Authorized Distributor, based on PENWEST's projections given under Section 6.5 for the ********* extending beyond the ********* firm ordering period. This shall be referred to as the "Consignment Inventory." The initial Consignment Inventory will be drawn down and replenished on a regular, first-in-first-out basis as the Authorized Distributor takes deliveries therefrom for its sales. The parties agree that each of them will *************************** of the MYLAN Cost of Product for the Consignment Inventory at any given time. 6.9 Subject to and conditional upon the failure of MYLAN to meet the PENWEST Authorized Distributor's requirements for Product as described in Section 6.1, upon the request of PENWEST, MYLAN grants to PENWEST, as part of the Contingent License, a license under the MYLAN Manufacturing Technology to have made by the Authorized Distributor Product for sale in the Territory during the term of the Authorized Distributor Agreement. Said license shall exist only for those periods, if any, in which MYLAN is unable to supply the Product, plus an additional period of up to ********* after MYLAN's notice that it is again able and ready to supply the Product, during which the Authorized Distributor will be entitled to exhaust work-in-process and any inventory of finished goods. Neither PENWEST nor the Authorized Distributor shall have the right to grant a sublicense hereunder (other than by PENWEST to the Authorized Distributor) without the prior written consent of MYLAN, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In order to facilitate the communication of the MYLAN Manufacturing Technology to the Authorized Distributor and the certification of its facility as contemplated herein, such that there will be no significant delay in doing so if PENWEST's rights under this Section 6.9 ever become applicable, MYLAN will exert reasonable efforts to disclose the MYLAN Manufacturing Technology to the Authorized Distributor(s) designated for such purpose by PENWEST, including without limitation by making knowledgeable MYLAN personnel reasonably available, at a consulting fee not in excess of MYLAN's -13- 14 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSIONS. actual costs, to consult with the Authorized Distributor or with representatives of PENWEST who may then consult in turn with the Authorized Distributor, all to the extent necessary to enable the Authorized Distributor to produce Product that would otherwise have been supplied by MYLAN. MYLAN will make such disclosure and provide such consultation within a reasonable time following the signing of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the filing by the Authorized Distributor of the first Product License Application for the Product to be filed by such Authorized Distributor in the Territory, it being understood, however, that such early consultation shall not give the Authorized Distributor any right to make any production use of the MYLAN Manufacturing Technology unless and until the license under this Section becomes applicable, other than in connection with obtaining the advance regulatory certification in the Territory of the Authorized Distributor's own facility as an approved alternate site of manufacture of the Product. This Section and the license described will survive the termination of this Agreement due to any breach by MYLAN, for the balance of the Term otherwise provided for in Section 3.1. 6.10 In the event that, and for so long as, MYLAN is unable due to causes beyond its control to supply product to PENWEST and the Authorized Distributor, and Section 6.9 is instituted, or if Section 6.9 is instituted as described in 6.4.3, PENWEST shall, in lieu of the price and payments described in Section 5, pay to MYLAN in consideration of the grant of such license to the MYLAN Manufacturing Technology an amount equal to ********* of the Sales Royalties received from the Authorized Distributor making the Product using the MYLAN Manufacturing Technology as permitted under Section 6.9. 6.11 If and to the extent that the failure of MYLAN described in Section 6.9 is due to causes beyond MYLAN's control, and if MYLAN establishes to PENWEST's reasonable satisfaction that MYLAN is diligently attempting through its best efforts to remove or resolve such causes such that MYLAN will be able, or will again be able, to supply the Product as contemplated herein (which, in the circumstances described in Section 6.4, will require, at a minimum, that 6.4.2 be applicable and that MYLAN actively and continuously pursue the option described in 6.4.2), PENWEST shall, in addition to the sums payable under Section 6.10, pay to MYLAN a further sum equal to *********: 6.11.1 ****************************************** ****************************************** ****************************************** -14- 15 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
