            On September 23, 2005, Leiner Health Products Inc. ("Leiner")
amended its Credit Agreement (dated May 27, 2004), by entering into Amendment
No.1 and Acknowledgement, (the "Amendment") among Leiner, LHP Holding Corp.,

Boston, as documentation agent, UBS Loan Finance LLC, as swingline lender and
UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as issuing bank, as administrative agent for the
Lenders and as collateral agent for the Secured Parties and the Issuing Bank.

            The Amendment revised the Credit Agreement by acknowledging the

a result of negotiations between Leiner LLC, PFI, the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors and other parties in interest, on September 9, 2005, Leiner

including trade payables related solely to the PFI Business. Excluded assets
include assets related to the business conducted by PFI's Konsyl Pharmaceuticals
Inc. subsidiary and any assets of the Non-Acquired Business. The $23 million

sponsors as well as a $10 million draw on Leiner's revolving credit facility.
