            manufacture of the Product. BLP shall permit an ISTA representative
            to be present at BLP's facilities during any such inspection
            directly relating to manufacture of the Product. Duly authorized
            representative(s) from the FDA or other applicable regulatory
            agencies shall be permitted access, at reasonable times during BLP's
            normal business hours, to visit, in the company of a BLP
            representative, the manufacturing and/or packaging facility or
            facilities where the Product will be or is being manufactured and/or
            packaged for the purposes of auditing BLP's processes to ensure that
            the Product is being manufactured, packaged, stored and handled in
            accordance with the Specifications, Applicable Laws, and BLP
            policies and procedures to the extent that such policies and
            procedures do not conflict with any terms or conditions of this
            Agreement or with Applicable Laws.. BLP shall, at its own expense,
            promptly respond to all inquiries and questions resulting from such
            visits and inspections and, at its own expense, promptly correct any
            deficiencies reported as a result of such inspections. BLP shall
            immediately notify ISTA if an authorized agent of the FDA or other
            governmental agency visits BLP's manufacturing facility for the
            purposes of inspecting the manufacturing and testing of the
            Products.

                                                                    Page 7 of 22

9.    Ordering and Rolling Forecasts.

      A.    Annual Minimum. Beginning on the [*], ISTA shall purchase from BLP a
            minimum annual amount of Product as set forth in Appendix B attached
            hereto (the "Annual Minimum"). If ISTA does not purchase such Annual
            Minimum during any calendar year thereafter, ISTA shall pay to BLP
            [*] of the difference between (i) the total amount ISTA would have
            paid to BLP if the Annual Minimum had been fulfilled and (ii) the
            total amount actually paid to BLP during the applicable calendar
            year. After ISTA's obligation to purchase the Annual Minimum
            commences pursuant to this Section 9.A., the parties shall meet at
            least once annually to discuss in good faith reasonable adjustments
            to the Annual Minimum taking into consideration the market
            conditions for the Product. Any such adjustment to the Annual
            Minimum shall be mutually agreed upon in writing and shall be
            subject to this Agreement.

      B.    Monthly Forecast. Beginning not less than [*] after ISTA submits the
            NDA for the Product to the FDA, and thereafter on the first day of
            each month, ISTA will deliver to BLP a rolling forecast of its
            estimated need for Product for the following [*] period (each, a
            "Rolling Forecast"). The quantities of Product to be delivered in
            the [*] of each Rolling Forecast shall be a binding, firm order for
            Product ("Firm Order") and the remainder of the Rolling Forecast
            shall be for advisory purposes only and non-binding.

      C.    Purchase Orders. ISTA will initiate an order for Product by sending
            to BLP a purchase order for Product at least [*] prior to the
            requested delivery date for the Product covered by the purchase
            order ("Purchase Order"). If there is a conflict between the terms
            of this Agreement and any Purchase Order, the terms of this
            Agreement will control. Purchase Orders should be submitted for
            ordered quantities of Product in full batch size; provided that BLP
            agrees that such batch size shall include, but not be limited to, a
            [*] batch size. ISTA may submit Purchase Orders for Product in
            excess of the quantities specified in the rolling forecasts. BLP
            shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to accept and fill
            such orders consistent with efforts used by BLP to fill excess
            orders for other customers of contract manufactured Product. BLP
            will deliver to ISTA a written order acknowledgment form within [*]
            of BLP's receipt of each rolling forecast, confirming the quantities
            of which BLP shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts its
            ability to fill. Only those amounts of such orders in excess of the
            quantities of ISTA's Firm Order, confirmed by BLP in its written
            order acknowledgment, shall be binding on BLP.

      D.    Failure to Supply. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
            Agreement, if BLP fails to supply to ISTA at least [*] of the
            quantity of Product ordered pursuant to a Firm Order during any [*],
            ISTA's obligations to meet the Purchase Requirement and Annual
            Minimum shall terminate and ISTA shall be entitled to purchase any
            quantity of Product from any third party.

10.   Inventory & Delivery. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties,
      BLP will ship the Product F.O.B. BLP's loading dock at its facility in
      Tampa, Florida (the "F.O.B. Point"), to arrive at ISTA's designated
      destination point within [*] of the date a Purchase Order is

                                                                    Page 8 of 22
<PAGE>
      received by BLP. At the request and expense of ISTA, BLP shall ship the
      Product ordered by ISTA by such carrier or carriers as ISTA may designate.
      Such shipping instructions shall be submitted by ISTA to BLP. Unless
      otherwise agreed by the parties hereto, all risk of loss or damage to the
      Product from any cause whatsoever shall be borne by ISTA after delivery to
      ISTA or ISTA's carrier at the F.O.B. Point. BLP shall not be obligated to
      maintain an inventory of the Product.

11.   Warranties; Acceptance and Claims.

      A.    BLP Warranties. BLP represents and warrants to ISTA that (i) at the
            time of delivery, the Product supplied hereunder will conform to the
            Specifications and all Applicable Laws, (ii) all Product supplied by
            BLP under this Agreement shall be merchantable, free from defects
            and shall not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the
            ACT, as amended, (iii) BLP shall manufacture the Product in
            accordance with the Specifications and in a facility that complies
            with all Applicable Laws, and is covered by all necessary
            registrations and licenses, and BLP shall maintain all such
            registrations and licenses during the Term hereof, (iv) when
            applicable to the work performed by BLP, BLP will adhere to
            Applicable Laws, and (v) BLP shall store all API and Product in a
            secure facility and in accordance with the Specifications and all
            Applicable Laws. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF
            ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
            TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
            PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT WHERE BLP COMMITS A WILLFUL, INTENTIONAL
            BREACH OF ANY MATERIAL PROVISION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, BLP SHALL NOT
            BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
            UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR
            EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY RESULTANT INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR
            CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUES
            AND LOSS OF PROFITS FROM BLP'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE PRODUCT TO
            ISTA OR OTHERWISE.

      B.    Notification of Defects. All Products shall be received subject to
            ISTA's inspection and may be rejected if any such Product fails to
            conform to the Specifications. ISTA shall be deemed to have accepted
            each order of Product if BLP does not receive written notice to the
            contrary (i) within [*] after the later of receipt by ISTA or by its
            customers of any non-conforming Product containing obvious defects
            discoverable without affecting the integrity of the Product's
            packaging and (ii) within [*] of ISTA's discovery of any latent
            defects. At BLP's request, ISTA shall promptly supply either a
            sample of the allegedly defective Product, or some other evidence of
            deficiency, which ISTA or BLP shall specify. In the event of any
            dispute between BLP and ISTA as to whether any of the Product
            conforms to the warranties hereunder, a sample of the units in
            dispute shall be sent by ISTA and BLP to an independent third party
            testing laboratory mutually agreed to in writing by BLP and ISTA
            whose findings will be binding on the parties except in cases of
            gross and

                                                                    Page 9 of 22
<PAGE>
            manifest error. The cost of such testing and Product shall be borne
            by the party against which the determination was made.

      C.    Warranty Limited to ISTA. ISTA shall deliver to its customers its
            own warranty concerning the Product. If permissible under Applicable
            Law, ISTA's warranty to its customers shall state conspicuously that
            the same is the sole and exclusive warranty to customers.

      D.    Returns. The nonconforming shipment of Product, or the nonconforming
            portion thereof, shall be held for BLP's disposition, or shall be
            returned to BLP, at BLP's expense, as directed by BLP. BLP shall
            replace, at BLP's cost, each nonconforming shipment of Product, or
            the nonconforming portion thereof, with conforming Product as soon
            as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of rejection
            thereof, and in any event shall do so within [*] after receipt of
            notice of rejection thereof.

      E.    Indemnification of ISTA. At ISTA's request, BLP shall indemnify,
            defend, save and hold ISTA and each of its Affiliates, officers,
            directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and
            all liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses, including without
            limitation reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements ("Loss" or
            "Losses") resulting from, or arising out of: (a) any material breach
            of any warranty hereunder or material non-fulfillment or
            non-performance by BLP of any agreement, covenant or obligation of
            BLP under this Agreement; (b) any actual or alleged defect in any
            Product manufactured and delivered to ISTA hereunder arising out of
            BLP's failure to manufacture Product in accordance with the terms of
            this Agreement; (c) any actual or alleged infringement or violation
            of any patent, trade secret or proprietary rights used by BLP in
            manufacturing Product; (d) FDA enforcement action, inspection or
            Product recalls or market withdrawals resulting from BLP's failure
            to manufacture the Product in accordance with the terms of this
            Agreement; and (e) any personal injury arising out of BLP's failure
            to manufacture Product in accordance with the terms of this
            Agreement.

      F.    Insurance. Each of the parties shall maintain Commercial Liability
            Insurance, during the Term of this Agreement, including contractual
            and product liability, in amounts of not less than [*] occurrence
            and [*] annual aggregate naming the other party as an additional
            insured. The parties shall exert their best efforts to obtain such
            insurance with respect to contractual liability on a date of
            occurrence basis (not a date of claim basis) and all insurance
            companies providing such insurance shall have an A.M. Best rating of
            A- or better. Upon request, either party shall submit a certificate
            of insurance evidencing such insurance to the other party, and
            providing that it may not be canceled or reduced in amount without
            [*] prior notification to the other party.

      G.    Manufacture. For purposes of this Article 11 above, Section 5.E. and
            Articles 12 and 18 below, "manufacture" shall include without

<PAGE>
      A.    Indemnification of BLP. ISTA shall (and BLP shall give ISTA the
            right to) indemnify, defend, save and hold BLP and each of its
            Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from
            and against Loss or Losses resulting from, or arising out of: (a)
            claims brought by third parties alleging any bodily injury arising
            as a result of a negligent act or omission of ISTA; (b) FDA
            enforcement action, inspections or Product recalls or market
            withdrawals except where arising out of or resulting from BLP's acts
            or omissions or BLP's failure to manufacture Product in accordance
            with the terms of this Agreement; (c) ISTA's acts relating to the
            promotion, marketing and/or distribution of Product, except where
            arising out of or resulting from BLP's acts or omissions or BLP's
            failure to manufacture Product in accordance with the terms of this
            Agreement; and (d) any actual or alleged infringement or violation
            of any composition of matter patent, or trade secret in the
            composition of matter of the Product; except, in all cases, to the
            extent such Losses are subject to indemnification by BLP pursuant to
            Section 11.E.

      B.    Registration. Any FDA or governmental approvals necessary for sale
            of the Product shall be the responsibility of ISTA. ISTA shall use
            its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain all necessary FDA or
            governmental approvals for sale of the Product and to ensure that
            the packaging and Labeling of such Product comply with all
            applicable FDA or governmental and rules and regulations.

13.   Indemnification Procedures. Any party seeking indemnification under this
      Agreement shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of
      any third party claim, complaint, suit, proceeding or cause of action
      (collectively and individually referred to as an "Action") providing
      reasonable details of the nature of the event and basis of the Action, and
      the other party's indemnification obligations shall be conditioned upon
      the foregoing if lack of such notice to the indemnifying party is
      prejudicial or otherwise adversely affects the indemnifying party. The
      indemnifying party shall then have the right, at its expense and with
      counsel of its choice, to defend, contest, or otherwise protect against
      any such Action. The indemnified party shall also have the right, but not
      the obligation, to participate at its own expense in the defense thereof
      with counsel of its choice. The indemnified party shall cooperate to the
      extent reasonably necessary to assist the indemnifying party in defending,
      contesting or otherwise protesting against any such Action provided that
      the reasonable cost in doing so shall be paid by the indemnifying party.
      The indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement without the
      indemnified party's consent if such settlement would be prejudicial to, or
      otherwise constitute any admission of fact or liability by, the
      indemnified party.

14.   Product Recalls. In the event that a Product recall results from the
      breach by BLP of its warranties under this Agreement, defective
      manufacture by BLP or other actions of BLP, BLP shall be responsible for
      the reasonable expenses of the recall. In the event the recall results
      from the actions of ISTA (not including the recall order), ISTA shall be
      responsible for the expenses of the recall and any costs associated with
      the distribution of replacement Product.

                                                                   Page 11 of 22

      its own expense, ISTA will promptly respond to all reasonable inquires
      from customers pertaining to Product complaints.

16.   Confidentiality. Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein (including
      Article 18), each party hereto agrees to keep all Confidential Information
      of the other party furnished under this Agreement confidential within its
      respective company and agrees not to disclose same to third parties
      without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except as
      required by law or to the extent such information (i) was already in the
      rightful possession of a party prior to its receipt from the other party
      as evidenced by written records, (ii) becomes generally known to the
      public otherwise than as a result of the breach of this Article 16, (iii)
      is disclosed by a third party having no obligation to keep such
      information confidential, or (iv) was independently developed by such
      party or its agent(s) as evidenced by written records. During the Term of
      this Agreement, both ISTA and BLP agree to keep the subject matter of this
      Agreement confidential and not disclose it to any third party except as
      required by law, in which instance prompt notice shall be given to the
      party not making the disclosure, or except as mutually agreed to. The
      receiving party will, upon the written request of the disclosing party
      after any expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly destroy or
      return to the disclosing party all Confidential Information (including
      notes, writings and other material developed therefrom) and all copies
      thereof and retain none for its files, except that each party may retain
      one (1) copy for its legal files. The return or retention of such
      information will not relieve the receiving party of its continuing
      obligation of confidentiality hereunder.

17.   Public Announcements. Neither ISTA nor BLP shall use the name of the other
      firm in any publicity or advertising and may not issue a press release,
      public announcement or otherwise publicize or disclose the existence of

      property and other assets relating to the Product, which have been
      independently developed or licensed by ISTA (collectively "ISTA
      Technology"). ISTA shall own, and BLP hereby assigns and agrees to assign
      to ISTA, all inventions, developments, or improvements to the ISTA
      Technology, whether or not patentable, that arise from, or are based upon
      the Product, its manufacture or ISTA Technology, together with any
      analytical methods for testing the Product, modifications to the Product
      formulation or Product container, methods of mixing the Product solution
      and all data (e.g., label qualification data) incorporated into FDA
      filings (collectively, "ISTA Developments"); provided, however, that BLP
      shall retain a nonexclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid-up,
      worldwide license, under all inventions, developments, or improvements
      assigned to ISTA except inventions, developments, or improvements relating
      to Product formulation, to make, have made, use, offer for sale, import
      and otherwise exploit any products other than Product. BLP agrees to
      execute all documents necessary to perfect title in the ISTA Developments
      in ISTA.

                                                                   Page 12 of 22

19.   Termination.

      A.    For Default. Without prejudice to any other legal or equitable
            remedy or remedies either party may have, this Agreement may be
            terminated by either party by written notice for breach of any
            material provision of this Agreement if such breach remains uncured
            after the giving of not less than [*] prior written notice to the
            breaching party of the existence of such breach and intent to
            terminate.

      B.    For Failure to Meet Timelines. Without prejudice to any legal or
            equitable remedy or remedies either party may have, this Agreement
            may be immediately terminated at the option of ISTA, immediately
            upon written notice, in the event of the BLP does not achieve any
            project milestone within [*] after the deadline specified in
            Appendix C.

      C.    For Insolvency. Either party may terminate this Agreement
            immediately in the event of the insolvency of the other party if
            such insolvent party fails to pay any amounts due pursuant to the
            terms of this Agreement within [*] following the date on which such
            amount is due and payable, provided that the terminating party first
            serves written notice of the failure to pay on the insolvent party
            and such default is not cured within [*] after receipt of such
            notice.

      D.    For Failure of Batches. In the event that prior to the approval of
            the Process Validation report specified in Appendix C the parties
            are unable to successfully produce, within [*] after first
            discovering any problems related to any out-of-Specification batches
            attributed to Product formulation, container compatibility and
            testing methods developed by or provided by ISTA to BLP, a Product
            batch within the Specifications, the parties shall [*]. In the event

            upon [*] advance written notice to the other party.

      E.    Effect of Termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement
            for any reason shall not relieve the parties of any obligation that
            accrued prior to such expiration or termination. Within [*]
            following the effective date of termination of this Agreement, BLP
            will provide ISTA with a detailed accounting of (i) the amount of
            Raw Materials held by BLP for manufacturing into Product under this

            reasonable costs and expenses incurred in providing the foregoing
            services that are pre-approved in writing by ISTA, unless such
            termination is initiated by ISTA pursuant to Section 19.A., 19.B. or
