practices (UK GAAP), of such books and records of Buyer and its Affiliates and
sub-licensees that are reasonably necessary to confirm the correctness of any
report or payments made under this Agreement. Upon timely request and at least
thirty (30) days' prior written notice from the Seller, such audit shall be
conducted during regular business hours in such a manner as to not unnecessarily
interfere with the Buyer's normal business activities. All information, data,
documents and abstracts herein referred to shall be used only for the purpose of
verifying sales commission reports or compliance with this Agreement. Audit
results shall be shared by and be binding upon the parties. If the audit reveals

Bloomberg (or a successor or similar organization) from time to time, such rate
to be determined as of the due date and calculated for the number of days such a
payment is overdue.


5.       SUPPLY

                                       13
<PAGE>

         5.1 Supply of Finished Dosage Form Inventory The Finished Dosage Form
Inventory in the possession or control of Seller on Closing shall be delivered
to Buyer, as provided in Section 11.4. Schedule 5.1 lists, on a
country-by-country basis, as of January 31, 2003, Finished Dosage Form Inventory
Seller had in its possession or control.

         Sales of all such Product shall be subject to the payment of sales
commission as provided in Section 4.3.

         As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days
after Closing, Seller and Buyer shall discuss and agree upon the amount of the
payment under Section 4.1 that is allocable to the Finished Dosage Form
Inventory in the possession or control of Seller on Closing.

         5.2 Buyer Trade Dress Promptly following Closing, Buyer shall notify
Seller in writing of the initial Buyer Trade Dress for which Buyer proposes to
seek FDA approval. With the exception of tablet imprint and NDC numbers, the
proposed initial Buyer Trade Dress shall be substantially the same as the Seller
Trade Dress. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the proposed initial Buyer
Trade Dress, Seller shall notify Buyer if Seller believes such proposed initial
Buyer Trade Dress will require Seller to make additional plant, property or
equipment investment to implement such initial Buyer Trade Dress, with an
itemization of such projected costs. If Seller provides such notice, then the
parties shall discuss each item in good faith and attempt to identify the lowest
reasonable cost option for the proposed change acceptable to each party in its
discretion. For each item identified by Seller, at Buyer's option, Buyer shall
amend its proposed Buyer Trade Dress so that no such investment is required or
shall bear full responsibility to Seller for the expenses


                                       14
<PAGE>


identified in the notice to implement such initial Buyer Trade Dress. If Seller
does not timely provide such notice, then Seller shall be deemed to have agreed
to implement the proposed initial Buyer Trade Dress.

         Following agreement between Seller and Buyer with respect to the
initial Buyer Trade Dress, Buyer, at its own expense shall notify FDA of the
transfer and obtain such FDA approvals necessary for the agreed initial Buyer
Trade Dress for Product, including obtaining new NDC numbers for Product in all
relevant jurisdictions. Buyer shall provide Seller, free of charge, with camera
ready artwork and hard copy samples of the initial Buyer Trade Dress as approved
by FDA. Prior to December 31, 2004, Buyer shall not change Buyer Trade Dress
without prior written consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld. It
shall not be unreasonable for Seller to withhold consent if any such change
requires any investment by Buyer for plant, property or equipment to implement
such change that Buyer will not agree to reimburse. If in any country of the
Territory any FDA requires change of the Buyer Trade Dress, other than for
changes resulting from a change in the manufacturing process (as to which Seller
shall bear its own costs), then Buyer shall bear all Seller costs to implement
such change with respect to supply of Product.

         5.3 Supply of Product. Prior to December 31, 200[*], Buyer shall have
entered into an agreement with a third party to procure a source of Active
Pharmaceutical Ingredient, semi-finished dosage form and finished dosage form
for the Territory. However, the parties anticipate that prior to December 31,
200[*] Finished Dosage Form Inventory will exhaust. As a result, the parties
agree as follows:

         (a) Buyer's Forecast. Buyer will provide Seller with a rolling
non-binding twelve


                                       15
<PAGE>
(12) month forecast, on a quarter-by-quarter basis, through December 31, 200[*],
of Buyer's projected purchases for each country of the Territory of (i) each of
the following pack sizes, by trade/sample, for the 100 mg tablet dosage of
Product: 30 tablets/pack (blister or bottle), 60 tablets/pack (blister or
bottle), 90 tablets/pack (bottle), 100 tablets/pack (bottle) and (ii) each of
the following pack sizes, by trade/sample, for the 200 mg tablet dosage of
Product: 30 tablets/pack (blister or bottle), 90 tablets/pack (bottle), 100
tablets/pack (bottle). Each rolling forecast will be provided no later than
forty five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter. For each pack
size of Product, the minimum order quantity ("MOQ") shall be one thousand three
hundred and fifty (1350) packages, except for the 90 tablets/pack, for which the
MOQ shall be 24,000 bottles of 100 mg tablets and 12,000 bottles of 200 mg
tablets. The first quarter of each such rolling forecast shall constitute a firm
order. Buyer shall provide the first forecast within thirty (30) days after
Closing.

         Buyer will issue purchase orders against such forecast, and Seller
commits to supply not less than 80% nor more than 120% of each pack size for
each strength against the firm order contained in the forecast. Seller shall
supply the requirements ordered, in each case with a delivery date of not less
than six (6) months or more than nine (9) months from the date of such purchase
order.

         It is understood that Seller will fill Buyer's initial orders for
Product using Bulk Tablet Inventory presently on hand, which Seller shall
convert to Finished Dosage Form using Seller Trade Dress.

         (b) MOQ Per Order. The MOQs stated above shall be designated in each
purchase order from Buyer and calculated by strength (100 mg, 200mg), package
size (30, 90, 100), presentation (bottles, blister cards), and the grouped
countries shown on Schedule 5.1(b), attached. For example, an order of 100mg
product for New Zealand and Australia could be aggregated to meet the MOQ (same
strength, pack size and


                                       16
<PAGE>
country group). An order for 100mg Product for Switzerland and Brazil could also
be aggregated to reach the MOQ (same strength, pack size and country group) but
for Brazil and Singapore, could not be aggregated for that purpose (same group,
but different pack size).

         (c) Payment for Supply. In addition to the future payment by Buyer of
sales commissions under Article 4, Buyer shall pay Seller in accordance with
Schedule 5.3, within thirty (30) days of the later of delivery or invoice.

         (d) Seller and Buyer agree that except as provided in Section 5.6,
Seller shall have no obligation to produce after the Effective Date any Active
Pharmaceutical Ingredient, or to supply any order for Product received by Seller
after December 31, 200[*].

         (e) At Buyer's option, Seller shall (i) at Buyer's cost of US$[*]/kg of
API, ship to Buyer any Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, including in the form

arising out of (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, covenant,
agreement or warranty made by Seller herein, (b) the Retained Liabilities, (c)
any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its Affiliates, or (d)
the manufacture or supply of Product by Seller (collectively, "Buyer

         12.2 Indemnification by Buyer Subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 12.5 below, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates, and their
directors, officers, employees and agents ("Seller Indemnitees") against, and
agrees to defend and hold each of the Seller Indemnitees harmless from, any and
all Damages (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation
and attorneys' fees incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnitees) arising out
of (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, covenant, agreement or
warranty made by Buyer herein, (b) the Assumed Liabilities or (c) any gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer or its Affiliates or partners,
sublicensees or distributors, or (d) any statement or representation
attributable to Buyer, its Affiliate, or partners, sublicensees or distributors
(other than Seller) or their directors, officers, employees and agents that is
inconsistent with or contrary to the Product Marketing Materials or Seller
Labeling (collectively "Seller Indemnifiable Claims").

         12.3 Notice A party seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1 or
12.2 above (an "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt notice to the party from
whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion
of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in respect
of which indemnity is or may be sought hereunder and will give the Indemnifying
Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may
reasonably request, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby.

         12.4 Participation in Defense The Indemnifying Party may, at its
expense, participate in or assume the defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding involving a third party. In such case the Indemnified Party shall
have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof, and to
retain counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel retained by the
Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof.
The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of no more than
one firm retained as counsel by the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party

                                       33
<PAGE>
has not assumed the defense thereof. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party
chooses to defend or prosecute any third party claim, the parties shall
cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall finish such records,
information and testimony as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith. In no event shall any third party claim be settled by the Indemnified
Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

         12.5 Limitations on Indemnity Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth elsewhere herein, neither the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller
Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless the
Indemnified Party transmits written notice of a claim for indemnification to the
Indemnifying Party no later than six (6) months after receipt of a written claim
or threat which could result in a claim.

         12.6 No Special Damages IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER, PARTY BE LIABLE TO
THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EXCEPT THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY
TO ANY LOST PROFITS OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES THAT MAY BE AWARDED TO A THIRD PARTY AND
FOR WHICH A PARTY OTHERWISE IS LIABLE TO PROVIDE INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS
ARTICLE 12.

obligations under this Agreement (except the obligation to make payments when

compliance with any order or regulation of any government entity acting with
color of right, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such
non-performing party (such event or cause referred to as "force majeure"). The
