or its performance of this Agreement which response, in the reasonable opinion of EISAI’s counsel, is required by law. EISAI shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, provide SALIX notice of such inquiry and consider in good faith any
comments of SALIX with respect thereto prior to making such response. 
 (g)        Not later than sixty (60) days after the date of execution of this Agreement, the PARTIES shall enter into a Safety Data Exchange Agreement with respect to the PRODUCTS containing
reasonable and customary terms and conditions. Prior to the date of execution of such Agreement, EISAI shall forward any adverse event reports or complaint reports with respect to the PRODUCTS to SALIX in time for SALIX to comply with regulatory
reporting requirements in the TERRITORY. 
 (h)        EISAI shall refer all medical
information requests to SALIX and shall provide assistance as reasonably requested by SALIX at SALIX’s expense in responding to such requests. 
 (i)        SALIX shall manufacture the PRODUCTS (including SAMPLES) or cause such manufacture in conformance with all APPLICABLE LAWS (including the Federal Food Drug and
Cosmetic Act (“FD&C ACT”)) and the rules and regulations thereunder, including current Good Manufacturing Practices). SALIX warrants that at the time of delivery of all PRODUCT to a THIRD PARTY, such PRODUCT (i) will comply with
the specifications therefor set forth in the New Drug Application for such PRODUCT approved by the FDA, (b) will have been manufactured in material compliance with all APPLICABLE LAWS, (c) will not be adulterated or misbranded within the
meaning of the FD&C ACT, and (d) may be introduced into interstate commerce pursuant to the FD&C ACT. 
 (j)        SALIX shall furnish and make available, as reasonably requested by EISAI from time to time, all readily available information on the efficacy, clinical development and regulatory status of
the PRODUCTS. 
 (k)        SALIX shall duly and punctually perform all of its
obligations under and pursuant to the BIOREX AGREEMENT. SALIX promptly shall provide to EISAI each amendment or modification to the BIOREX AGREEMENT. 
 (l)        SALIX shall perform all of its obligations under this Section 2.4 in accordance with all APPLICABLE LAWS and the PhRMA Code on Interactions with Health Care
Professionals. 
 2.5        Payment. 
 (a)        Within [*] days after the end of each CONTRACT QUARTER during the TERM, SALIX shall
pay to EISAI an amount with respect to each PRESENTATION for such CONTRACT QUARTER equal to (i) [*] percent ([*]%), multiplied by (ii) the PROFIT PER PRESCRIPTION for such PRESENTATION for such CONTRACT QUARTER, multiplied by
(iii) the positive difference, if any, between (A) CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for such 

  

 [*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately
with the SEC. 








 
PRESENTATION in the TERRITORY for such CONTRACT QUARTER, less (B) the product of (1) the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for such CONTRACT
QUARTER, multiplied by (2) the PRESENTATION RATIO for such PRESENTATION for such CONTRACT QUARTER. An example of this calculation is set forth in Appendix A-2. 
 (b)        Reduction of BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS. 
 (i)        For any partial CONTRACT QUARTER (less than three (3) full months) during the TERM, the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for such CONTRACT
QUARTER shall be reduced by a percentage equal to [*]. 
 (ii)        Within [*] days after the end of each month during the TERM, SALIX shall deliver to EISAI a report of [*], during such month. If EISAI reasonably believes that any such report indicates
that [*], EISAI may, at any time in the then current CONTRACT QUARTER or the following CONTRACT QUARTER, request that SALIX [*]. [*], then the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for such CONTRACT QUARTER shall be reduced by a percentage equal to [*].

 (iii)        In the event that in a CONTRACT QUARTER SALIX fails
to perform the number of DETAILS required pursuant to Section 2.1(d), then the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for such CONTRACT QUARTER shall be reduced by a percentage equal to [*]. 
 (iv)        In the event that in a CONTRACT YEAR SALIX fails to expend the
amount of advertising, marketing and promotional expense for the PRODUCTS required pursuant to Section 2.1(e), then (A) the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for each CONTRACT QUARTER in such CONTRACT YEAR shall be reduced by a percentage
equal to [*] and (B) [*]. 
 (v)        In the event that, as
of the date of first sale of the GRANULATED MESALAMINE PRODUCT in the TERRITORY, EISAI is not promoting the GRANULATED MESALAMINE PRODUCT in the TERRITORY, the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for each CONTRACT QUARTER shall be reduced by an amount
equal to [*]. For example, [*]. 
 (vi)        If, at any time
during the TERM, WOLTERS KLUWER changes the methodology used to determine prescriptions for the PRODUCTS from that used by WOLTERS KLUWER on the date hereof (or if another source for determining prescriptions of the PRODUCTS is agreed to by the
PARTIES), then the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for each CONTRACT QUARTER after such change in methodology shall be adjusted to reflect such change in methodology such that the adjusted BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for future CONTRACT
QUARTERS are set in a manner commensurate with the original BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS as measured against the historical WOLTERS KLUWER data used to derive the original BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS. 
  

 [*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately
with the SEC. 








 (vii)        For the avoidance
of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.5(b) are cumulative and the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS may be reduced any number of times with respect to any CONTRACT QUARTER hereunder. If more than one (1) reduction under this
Section 2.5(b) applies to any CONTRACT QUARTER, such reductions shall be applied so as to achieve the lowest BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS possible for such CONTRACT QUARTER. 
 (c)        In the event that WOLTERS KLUWER reports any changes or adjustments to any PHAST data
with respect to any PRESENTATION previously reported by WOLTERS KLUWER (other than changes or adjustments resulting from a change in methodology as described in Section 2.5(b)(vi)), and such changed data (as adjusted in accordance with the
procedures set forth on Appendix C) results in any inaccuracy in any amount previously paid by SALIX pursuant to Section 2.5(a), then the appropriate PARTY shall within [*] days of such determination pay to the other PARTY the amount necessary
to correct such payment inaccuracy. 
 (d)        All sums due under this Agreement
shall be payable in U.S. Dollars by federal funds wire transfer or by check as instructed in writing by the PARTY to receive such payment from time to time. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder that are not paid on the date such payments
are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of the [*] as published by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, or any successor thereto, at 12:01 a.m. on the first day of each CONTRACT QUARTER in which such payments
are overdue, plus [*] percentage points, and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly. 
 2.6        Each PARTY shall keep complete and accurate records (financial and otherwise) pertaining to the performance of its obligations hereunder in
sufficient detail to calculate accurately all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and to prepare all reports required hereunder, including, with respect to SALIX, records of gross sales of the PRODUCTS in the TERRITORY and all information
necessary to determine NET SALES, COST OF GOODS SOLD, and BIOREX ROYALTIES. Such records (and all related work papers and other information and documents) shall be retained and made available for reasonable review by the other PARTY upon reasonable
notice, during normal business hours, no more than once each CONTRACT YEAR and in the twelve (12)-month period following expiration or termination of this Agreement for the purposes of verifying compliance with this Agreement and the accuracy of all
reports delivered and payments made hereunder. Each document from which the reports and statements are prepared pursuant to this Agreement shall be retained for three (3) years, and the right of inspection hereunder shall terminate with respect
thereto at the end of such three (3) year period. 
 2.7        SALIX shall
promptly notify EISAI in writing of any facts relating to the advisability of a recall, destruction, withholding from the market, market withdrawal or other similar market action relating to any PRODUCT (collectively, “RECALL(s)”). If at
any time: (i) any governmental or regulatory authority issues a request, directive or order for a RECALL; (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders a RECALL; or (iii) SALIX determines, following 

  

 [*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately
with the SEC. 








 
consultation with EISAI (except in emergency situations in which there is insufficient time for such consultation), that a RECALL is necessary or advisable,
SALIX shall take all appropriate actions to effect the RECALL. EISAI shall provide SALIX with cooperation in connection with any RECALL as reasonably requested SALIX. SALIX shall bear all of the costs of any RECALL (including EISAI’s reasonable
costs incurred in cooperating therewith) except to the extent that such RECALL results from a breach of this Agreement by EISAI, in which event EISAI shall bear the costs of such RECALL to the extent of its liability therefor. 
  

	 	3.	 INDEMNITY 


 3.1        SALIX shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless EISAI, its AFFILIATES, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, from and against any and all liability, loss, damage
and expense (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with THIRD PARTY claims, demands, costs or judgments which may be made or instituted against any of them (“LOSSES”) arising out of (i) any negligent act or omission or willful
misconduct of SALIX, its AFFILIATES or any of their respective officers, directors, agents or employees with respect to the PRODUCTS; (ii) any breach of this Agreement by SALIX; (iii) the manufacture, packaging, marketing, promotion,
distribution, sale or use of a PRODUCT, whether before or after the date hereof, including any death, personal injury or other product liability arising out of or related to a PRODUCT; (iv) the performance by EISAI of its obligations under this
Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof (including the use of MARKETING MATERIALS), or (v) any allegation that the manufacture, marketing, promotion, sale, distribution or use of a PRODUCT, or the performance by EISAI of its obligations
under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, infringes, violates or misappropriates any patent, trade secret, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of any THIRD PARTY, in each case except for those LOSSES for which
EISAI has an obligation to indemnify SALIX pursuant to Section 3.2, as to which LOSSES each PARTY shall indemnify the other to the extent of its respective liability. 
 3.2        EISAI shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless SALIX, its AFFILIATES and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, from and
against any and all LOSSES arising out of (i) any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of EISAI, its AFFILIATES or any of their respective officers, directors, agents or employees with respect to the PRODUCTS or (ii) any breach
of this Agreement by EISAI, in each case except for those LOSSES for which SALIX has an obligation to indemnify EISAI pursuant to Section 3.1, as to which LOSSES each PARTY shall indemnify the other to the extent of its respective liability.

 3.3        The indemnified PARTY shall give the indemnifying PARTY
(a) prompt written notice of any claims made for which the indemnified PARTY knows or reasonably should know the indemnifying PARTY reasonably may be liable under the foregoing indemnification and (b) the opportunity to defend, negotiate,
and settle such claims. The indemnified PARTY shall provide the indemnifying PARTY with all information in its possession, all authority and all assistance necessary to enable the indemnifying PARTY to carry on the defense of such suit; provided,
however, that the indemnified PARTY reserves the right to retain its own counsel to defend itself in, but not control the defense of, such suit, at its own 








 
expense, unless (i) the interests of the indemnified PARTY and the indemnifying PARTY in the suit conflict in such a manner and to such extent as to
require, consistent with applicable standards of professional responsibility, the retention of separate counsel for the indemnified PARTY, in which case, the indemnifying PARTY shall pay for one separate counsel chosen by the indemnified PARTY or
(ii) the indemnifying PARTY shall not have employed attorneys reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified PARTY to defend any action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of such action. Neither PARTY shall be responsible to or
bound by any settlement made by the other PARTY without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 3.4        NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE
OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER, OR FOR LOST PROFITS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 3.4 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR
OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES AWARDED TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMANTS (OTHER THAN AN INDEMNITEE) IN THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 3.1 or SECTION 3.2. 
  

	 	4.	 TERM AND TERMINATION 


 4.1        Except if sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall continue for a period of four
(4) years from the beginning of the first CONTRACT QUARTER as set forth in Section 1(f) above (the “INITIAL TERM”), and this Agreement shall automatically renew for consecutive one (1) year periods (each a “RENEWAL
TERM” and together with the Initial TERM, the “TERM”) upon the end of the INITIAL TERM and each RENEWAL TERM. 
 4.2        Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the PARTIES of any obligation accruing prior to such termination (including any obligation to pay amounts owed) nor preclude either PARTY
from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement. The following provisions of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason: 2.1(p), 2.6, 4.2,
4.8, 4.9, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 6.10, 6.11, 6.12, 6.13, 6.14, 6.16, 6.17, 6.20 and 6.21 and Article 3. 
 4.3        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, either PARTY may terminate this Agreement 
 (a)        immediately upon written notice if the other PARTY shall file in any court or agency, pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or
country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of that PARTY or of its assets, or if the other PARTY proposes a written agreement of composition or
extension of its debts, or if the other PARTY shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed 








 
within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or if the other PARTY shall propose or be a PARTY to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other
PARTY shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 
 (b)        immediately by notice in writing to the other if the other commits a material breach of this Agreement which shall not have been remedied within [*] days of the receipt by the other of
written notice identifying the breach and requiring its remedy. 
 4.4        If at
any time during the TERM a generic version of a PRODUCT, including any authorized generic version of a PRODUCT sold under the New Drug Application for such PRODUCT, is sold in the TERRITORY, both PARTIES shall, in good faith, discuss modifications
to this Agreement to address such changed conditions at the request of either PARTY. However, neither PARTY shall be obligated to agree to any modifications to the terms of this Agreement. If the PARTIES are unable to reach an agreement as to
modifications to the terms of this Agreement within [*] days after the request by a PARTY under this Section 4.4, either PARTY may terminate this Agreement upon [*] days’ written notice to SALIX. 
 4.5        In the event that in any CONTRACT QUARTER the actual total prescriptions for the
PRODUCTS in the TERRITORY (determined in accordance with Section 2.5(a)) are less than [*]% of the aggregate BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for such CONTRACT QUARTER, then either PARTY (provided that such PARTY is not in breach of this
Agreement) shall have the option to terminate this Agreement on [*] days’ written notice to the other PARTY given within [*] days after the end of such CONTRACT QUARTER. 
 4.6        EISAI may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason: 
 (a)        on [*] days’ written notice given at any time after [*]; or 
 (b)        on [*] days’ written notice given within [*] days after the FDA issues a “Not Approvable” letter with respect to NDA #[*]. SALIX
immediately shall notify EISAI if the FDA issues such “Not Approvable” letter. 
 4.7        Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, SALIX may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason on [*] days’ written notice given at any time after TOTAL
PRESCRIPTIONS for the CONTRACT QUARTER ending September 30, 2008 have been provided to EISAI pursuant to Section 2.1(g); provided, that if the sum of TOTAL PRESCRIPTIONS for each of the CONTRACT QUARTERS ending June 30, 2008 and
September 30, 2008 are at least [*]% of the sum of the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for such CONTRACT QUARTERS, then SALIX shall not have the right to give notice of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.7 prior to
the time that TOTAL PRESCRIPTIONS for the CONTRACT QUARTER ending [*] have been provided to EISAI pursuant to Section 2.1(g); provided further that if the sum of TOTAL PRESCRIPTIONS for each of the CONTRACT QUARTERS ending [*] and [*] are at
least [*]% of the sum of the BASELINE CONVERTED PRESCRIPTIONS for such CONTRACT QUARTERS, then SALIX shall not have the right to give notice of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.7 prior to [*]. 
  

 [*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately

 4.8        If this Agreement is terminated by
EISAI pursuant to Section 4.3 or by SALIX pursuant to Section 4.7, then not later than [*] days after the end of each calendar quarter during [*]-month period that begins on the date of termination of this Agreement, SALIX shall pay to
EISAI an amount equal to [*]% of the average amount per CONTRACT QUARTER for the most recently completed four (4) consecutive full CONTRACT QUARTERS payable by SALIX to EISAI pursuant to Section 2.5. 
 4.9        If this Agreement is terminated by either EISAI or SALIX pursuant to Section 4.5
after SALIX or an AFFILIATE has commenced selling a GRANULATED MESALAMINE PRODUCT in the TERRITORY and EISAI is not promoting the GRANULATED MESALAMINE PRODUCT in the TERRITORY, then not later than [*] days after the end of each calendar quarter
during [*]-month period that begins on the date of termination of this Agreement, SALIX shall pay to EISAI an amount equal to [*]% of the average amount per CONTRACT QUARTER for the most recently completed four (4) consecutive full CONTRACT
QUARTERS payable by SALIX to EISAI pursuant to Section 2.5. 
 4.10        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement automatically shall terminate if the FDA takes any action the result of which is to prohibit the sale of the PRODUCTS
in the TERRITORY. SALIX immediately shall notify EISAI of any such action. For the avoidance of doubt, SALIX would not be required to make any residual payment pursuant to Section 4.8 or 4.9 in the event of termination under this
Section 4.10. 
  

	 	5.	 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 


 5.1        In the event that EISAI disputes the accuracy of any report delivered or payment made hereunder by SALIX (or by EISAI pursuant to Section 2.3), EISAI shall
deliver to SALIX a statement setting forth its objections to such report or payment (an “Objections Statement”) not later than [*] months after delivery of such report or payment. An Objections Statement shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for the items being disputed in good faith. If an Objections Statement is not delivered to SALIX within [*] months after delivery of a report or payment, then notwithstanding anything herein, such report or payment shall be final,
binding and non-appealable by the PARTIES absent fraud on the part of SALIX. EISAI hereby waives the right to assert any objection, other than allegations of fraud, with respect to a report or payment that is not asserted in an Objections Statement
delivered to SALIX within [*] months after delivery of such report or payment. If EISAI timely delivers an Objection Statement, EISAI and SALIX shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any identified objections. If the PARTIES do not reach a final
resolution within [*] days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, EISAI or SALIX may, with written notice to the other PARTY, submit such dispute to an independent national or regional accounting firm which is reasonably acceptable to the
PARTIES and is not the auditor for either of the PARTIES (the “Independent Auditor”). EISAI and SALIX shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable and
shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Independent Auditor. The decision of the Independent Auditor shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the PARTIES. If, as a result of the procedures set forth in this Section 5.1, any amount paid
by SALIX pursuant to the terms hereof (or by EISAI pursuant to Section 2.3) shall be found to have been incorrectly calculated, the appropriate PARTY shall within [*] days of 

  

 [*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately
with the SEC. 








 
such determination pay to the other PARTY the amount necessary to correct such payment error; provided that if SALIX is required to pay any amount to EISAI
hereunder, SALIX also shall pay interest on such amount at a rate equal to the lesser of the [*] as published by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, or any successor thereto, at 12:01 a.m. on the first day of the CONTRACT QUARTER in which such
payment was due in accordance with the terms hereof, plus [*] percentage points, and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days from the original due date for such payment until paid in full, compounded monthly.
The costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be paid [*] percent ([*]%) by SALIX and [*] percent ([*]%) by EISAI; provided that if it is determined pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 5.1 that SALIX has made an
underpayment or overpayment with respect to any CONTRACT YEAR in excess of [*] percent ([*]%) of the aggregate amount required to be paid under Section 2.5(a) for such CONTRACT YEAR, all costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be
borne and promptly paid by SALIX. 
 5.2        In the event of a dispute regarding
the existence, validity or interpretation of this Agreement, other than payment disputes that are exclusively governed by Section 5.1, the PARTY raising the dispute shall timely notify the other PARTY in writing of the existence of the dispute.
Upon receipt of such notice, authorized representatives of the PARTIES (which, in the case of any dispute relating to a PARTY’s compliance with APPLICABLE LAWS or the PhRMA Code on Interactions with Health Care Professionals, shall be
the chief legal officers of the PARTIES) shall (either in person or via telephone) negotiate in good faith for up to [*] days to attempt to resolve the matter. If, however, the PARTIES are unable to settle such dispute after such [*]-day period, the
matter shall be referred to the President of each PARTY to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as is practicable but in no event later than [*] days after referral. Such resolution, if any, of a referred issue shall be final and binding
on the PARTIES. If such efforts do not resolve the dispute within [*] days after referral to such senior officers, upon demand of either PARTY, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided in this Section 5.2. The PARTIES
shall mutually agree upon a single arbitrator from a list of arbitrators recognized by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If the PARTIES cannot so agree within [*] days, AAA shall appoint an arbitrator upon application by either
PARTY. The proceedings shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA as in effect from time to time. All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in New York City, New York. All applicable statutes of limitation
shall apply to any dispute. The arbitrator shall have no power to award punitive or exemplary damages or to ignore or vary the terms of this Agreement, and shall be bound to apply the governing law specified in Section 6.8. No attorney’s
fees or costs shall be awarded and the PARTIES shall equally bear the cost of the arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on, and non-appealable by, the PARTIES and may be enforced in any court having competent
jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall preclude either PARTY from seeking interim or provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either
prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such PARTY.

 (i)        made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other regulatory authority of a country or any political subdivision or regulatory body
thereof of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the receiving PARTY shall first have given notice to the disclosing PARTY and given the disclosing PARTY a reasonable opportunity to quash such order or to obtain a protective order
requiring that the Confidential Information or documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or regulatory authority or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued; and provided,
further, that if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such court or governmental order shall be limited to that information which is legally required to be
disclosed in such response to such court or governmental order; or 
 (ii)        otherwise required by applicable law, in the opinion of legal counsel to the receiving PARTY as expressed in an opinion letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
disclosing PARTY, and the receiving PARTY shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information so disclosed.

 (c)        Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, each PARTY shall
return to the other PARTY all tangible forms of Confidential Information furnished by the other PARTY, including all copies thereof and all memoranda of oral disclosure, except that each PARTY may retain one copy in the files of its legal counsel to

and warrants that it is not, and that no person or entity involved in the manufacture, marketing, promotion, sale, or distribution of the PRODUCTS prior to the date hereof was, a DEBARRED PERSON. Neither PARTY shall use in the performance of its

 SALIX PHARMACEUTICALS ANNOUNCES 
 CO-PROMOTION AGREEMENT FOR BALSALAZIDE 
 Eisai Inc. Primary Care and Specialty
Sales Forces to Promote COLAZAL® 
 Co-Promotion Creates an Approximately
700-Member Combined Sales Effort 
 RALEIGH, NC, September 5, 2007 - Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. (NASDAQ:SLXP) today
announced that it has entered into a multi-year co-promotion agreement with Eisai Inc. relating to COLAZAL® (balsalazide disodium) Capsules 750 mg. This agreement also relates to
patent-protected balsalazide tablets 1100 mg, if and when approved by the FDA. Under the terms of the agreement Eisai’s primary care and specialty sales forces will promote these products to select primary care physicians and
gastroenterologists. Payment to Eisai will be based on a split of profit generated by prescriptions above a predetermined baseline. Salix does not expect to incur any incremental expenses with this agreement. Approximately 600 of Eisai’s sales
representatives will begin promoting COLAZAL in late October. 
 “The Salix sales force will continue to focus its efforts on our
current targeted physician audience primarily comprised of gastroenterologists. We believe the combined effort of the Salix and Eisai sales and marketing teams provides a strategic opportunity for us, in the near term, to expand our COLAZAL
business, and, in the longer term, to expedite the introduction and growth of our pending balsalazide tablet product,” stated Carolyn Logan, President and 








 
Chief Executive Officer, Salix. “Ulcerative colitis is a difficult disease to treat. The ability of balsalazide to deliver 99% of active 5-ASA in the
colon makes this unique azo-bonded product a valuable treatment option. We believe the Eisai co-promotion will significantly increase the reach and frequency of our “COLAZAL message.” Additionally, we believe the Eisai primary care effort
will capture additional business that is available outside the scope of our gastroenterologist-focused sales strategy. Currently the market leader in this category generates approximately 30%* of its prescriptions from primary care. We look forward
to the contribution of Eisai’s proven sales team and the impressive share of voice in the marketplace our combined efforts will create.” 
 “We are very pleased to co-promote COLAZAL with Salix,” stated Lonnel Coats, President & Chief Operating Officer, Eisai Inc. “Each of our respective billion-dollar-selling treatments — Aciphex®, for GERD or ulcerative gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Aricept®, for mild, moderate and severe Alzheimer’s disease —
has enabled Eisai to establish a strong presence in the gastroenterology and primary care specialties. We intend to build on our presence in these two important customer segments with the addition of COLAZAL to our product offering, which will
enable Eisai to bring this important treatment to more patients.” 
 Salix submitted an NDA seeking approval to market an 1100 mg tablet
formulation of balsalazide disodium (balsalazide tablet) for the treatment of mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis to the FDA on July 17, 2007. The Company believes that this application is subject to a 10-month review period and that
the user fee goal date is May 16, 2008.

 About COLAZAL® (balsalazide disodium) Capsules 750 mg 
 COLAZAL® (balsalazide disodium) Capsules 750 mg, is an anti-inflammatory drug approved for
the treatment of mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis. Safety and effectiveness of COLAZAL beyond 8 weeks in children (ages 5-17 years) and 12 weeks in adults has not been established. COLAZAL was well tolerated in clinical studies. In
clinical trials, patients reported the following adverse reactions most frequently: headache (8%); abdominal pain (6%); diarrhea (5%); nausea (5%); vomiting (4%); respiratory infection (4%); and arthralgia (4%). Withdrawal from therapy due to
adverse reactions was comparable to placebo. 
  
 About ARICEPT (donepezil HCI
tablets) 
 While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, ARICEPT can help slow the progression of symptoms, including memory
loss. Once-a-day prescription ARICEPT is indicated for the treatment of dementia of the Alzheimer’s type. Efficacy has been demonstrated in patients with mild, moderate and severe Alzheimer’s disease. ARICEPT is an acetylcholinesterase
inhibitor and is believed to work by inhibiting the breakdown of acetylcholine, thereby increasing 

  

 3 








 
available levels of this chemical in the brain. There is an
established association between the loss of acetylcholine, a brain chemical involved in memory and thinking, and Alzheimer’s disease. 
 ARICEPT is well tolerated but may not be for everyone. People at risk for stomach ulcers or who take certain other medicines should tell their doctors because serious stomach problems, such as bleeding, may get worse. Some people who
take ARICEPT may experience fainting. Some people may have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bruising, or not sleep well. Some people may have muscle cramps or loss of appetite or may feel tired. In studies, these were usually mild and temporary.

 In a progressively degenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s, improvement, stabilization or a less-than-expected decline over time is
considered a positive response to treatment. These types of responses have been observed in patients treated with ARICEPT in clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease. Individual responses to treatment vary, and some patients may not respond.

 ARICEPT is the number one prescribed Alzheimer’s disease therapy worldwide, with more than 3 billion patient days of ARICEPT therapy.
Nearly 2.3 million people in the United States alone have taken ARICEPT. 
 ARICEPT® (donepezil HCl tablets) is co-promoted in the United States by Eisai Inc. and Pfizer Inc, which are dedicated to advances in Alzheimer’s therapy. 
 For more information about managing Alzheimer’s disease and about ARICEPT, call (888) 999-9616 or visit www.aricept.com. 
  
 About ACIPHEX® (rabeprazole sodium)

 ACIPHEX® is a prescription medication. One ACIPHEX 20 mg tablet daily is
used for the treatment of persistent, frequent (2 or more days a week) heartburn and other symptoms associated with acid reflux disease. 
 ACIPHEX is also used for the short-term (4 to 8 weeks) treatment in the healing and symptom relief of damaging (erosive) acid reflux disease (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and to maintain 

  

 4 








 
healing of damage (erosions) and relief of heartburn symptoms that happen with acid reflux disease. ACIPHEX has not been studied for treatment lasting longer
than 12 months (1 year). 
 ACIPHEX has a well-established safety profile. The most common side effect possibly related to ACIPHEX is
headache. Symptom relief does not rule out other serious stomach conditions. Patients on warfarin (such as Coumadin®) may need to be monitored more closely by their doctor. To learn more,

 Eisai Inc. Enters Copromotion Agreement with Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. 

 for Balsalazide Products 
 Agreement Complements Eisai’s Presence in Gastroentemltigy and Primary Care 
 Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, September 5, 2007 – Eisai Inc., a U.S. pharmaceutical subsidiary of Tokyo-based Eisai Co., Ltd., today announced the signing of a U.S. copromotion agreement with Salix
Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. in which Eisai receives exclusive rights to copromote COLAZAL® (balsalazide disodium) Capsules 750 mg, and balsalazide tablets, if and when approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA). 
 COLAZAL is indicated for the treatment of mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis in patients five
years of age and older. Salix submitted a New Drug Application to the FDA on July 17, 2007 seeking approval to market an 1100 mg tablet formulation of balsalazide disodium (balsalazide tablet) for the treatment of mildly to moderately active
ulcerative colitis. 
 “We are pleased to be working with Salix to copromote COLAZAL, an important treatment for patients with
ulcerative colitis,” said Lonnel Coats, President & Chief Operating Officer, Eisai Inc. “Aricept®, our treatment for mild, moderate and severe Alzheimer’s disease,
and Aciphex®, for gastroesophageal reflux disease, have helped Eisai to build a strong presence in gastroenterology and primary care. We are well positioned to increase the benefits to
patients with ulcerative colitis by bringing information about COLAZAL to more health care professionals.” 
 Gastrointestinal disorders
is one of Eisai’s long-standing therapeutic areas of focus, supporting the company’s human health care (hhc) mission to satisfy unmet medical needs and increase benefits to patients and their families. 







 “This agreement provides the opportunity for Eisai and Salix to combine their experience in
gastroenterology and expand our reach in the primary care area,” stated Carolyn Logan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Salix. “COLAZAL has already benefited many patients, and we believe that together we can increase awareness of
this important treatment.”
