                  ARTICLE II COMMITMENT TO SUPPLY AND PURCHASE

         Section 2.01. Supply. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the license rights granted to Endo in the License Agreement, from
and after the Effective Date: (1) Noven shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to supply Endo with its requirements of Product as ordered by Endo
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (2) Noven shall not supply Product to
any third Party for use or sale within the Territory without the prior written
consent of Endo; (3) Endo shall purchase Product exclusively from Noven; and,
(4) Endo shall only use and sell Product within the Territory.

         Section 2.02. API. In the event that either party is able to secure a
lower price for the API from a source that meets Noven's quality requirements,
subject to Noven's contractual commitments with its suppliers, Noven will work
with Endo in good faith to utilize such API in place of its own source of API.
Once agreed to by both parties to qualify a lower price API, Endo and Noven
shall equally share all out of pocket expenses in qualifying and otherwise
securing such new API source. To the extent that Noven is able to use such lower
priced API, the lower cost will be reflected in Noven's manufacturing costs for
the Product. *** In the period prior to commercial launch of the Product, to the
extent that Endo supplies Noven with the API, Endo will invoice Noven for the
portion of the cost of such API for which Noven is assuming risk pursuant to
Section 3.09 below. All such invoices shall be due and payable within thirty
days of receipt and shall bear interest at the rate of 1% per month or the
maximum allowable by law on any overdue amounts. Noven shall include such API
costs in its manufacturing costs and Endo shall deduct the API costs not
invoiced to Noven from the next *** payment otherwise owed Noven under the
License Agreement. After the commercial launch of the Product, Endo shall deduct
the cost of the API it supplies Noven from the next *** payment otherwise owed
Noven under the License Agreement.

         Section 2.03. Compliance with Applicable Law. Endo hereby covenants and
agrees that Endo and its Affiliates shall store, handle, transport, market,
promote, sell, distribute, use and otherwise dispose of any Product supplied by
Noven, and any materials used in connection with

such Product, including any labeling, packaging and advertising, in accordance
with all Applicable Laws.

             ARTICLE III FORECASTS, ORDERS, DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

         Section 3.01. Forecasts. Within 30 days of the Effective Date, Endo
shall provide to Noven a good faith, but non-binding, forecast of its
requirements for Product for the following twenty-four (24) months. Beginning
approximately 9 months before the anticipated commercial launch date of the
Product by Endo and within ten Business Days after the first day of each
calendar month thereafter during the Term, Endo will provide Noven with a
non-binding (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.03), rolling 12-month
forecast of its requirements of Product to be delivered by Noven. Endo shall use
reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that its forecasts are as accurate as
possible.

         Section 3.02. Validation Batches and Initial Order. Noven and Endo
hereby acknowledge and agree that, in order to address the initial requirements
for the commercial launch of the Product, the lead times associated with
manufacturing Product and the general preparation for such commercial launch,
Noven and Endo will consult with each other in good faith regarding the
anticipated commercial launch date. In connection with such discussions Endo
will provide a binding initial purchase order to Noven approximately ***; the
delivery date for such purchase orders shall be between one and thirty days
prior to the anticipated commercial launch date of the Product. The initial
purchase orders shall be for quantities of the Product sufficient for launch and
for the first month of sales of the Product; such amount of product shall be no
less than ***and no greater than *** of Endo's most recent forecasted
requirements for the first month of sales of the Product; provided, however,
that upon request by Endo, Noven shall attempt in good faith to supply a
quantity of the Product in excess of *** of the amount.

         Section 3.03. Future Orders. For anticipated sales of Product by Endo
in the second month following commercial launch of the Product and thereafter
during the Term Endo shall submit purchase orders to Noven for such Product on a
monthly basis. Each purchase order shall be submitted at least ninety (90) days
prior to the expected respective sales month. Each purchase order shall specify
an amount of Product that is at least *** and no greater than *** of Endo's most
recent previous forecast for the applicable month; provided, however, that upon
request by Endo, Noven shall attempt in good faith to supply a quantity of the
Product in excess of *** of the amount previously forecasted by Endo for any
such month. Each purchase order shall be binding, and shall specify a delivery
date that is no sooner than ninety days after submission of the purchase order
to Noven. In the event that the terms and conditions of any purchase order are
inconsistent with or conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

         Section 3.04. Order Size. All purchase orders for Product placed by
Endo shall be for amounts of product equal to a full manufacturing batch or
multiples thereof with the amount ordered based on the estimated actual yields.
An estimate of the number of units per batch is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The actual number of units delivered pursuant to any purchase order for Product
shall be equal to the number of units produced in each batch thereof, subject to
reduction of the number of units produced in any batch by the number of units
not suitable for

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

release or otherwise retained pursuant to the provisions of the Quality
Agreement. In the event that Noven shall deliver less than *** of the units
ordered by Endo pursuant to any purchase order (which number shall be determined
with reference to the number of units estimated to be yielded by each batch
ordered by Endo as reflected on Exhibit A), Noven shall notify Endo in writing
of the amount of such shortfall upon discovery of the shortfall of the Product.
Endo shall, within 30 days of receipt of such delivery, either (a) accept such
delivery in full satisfaction of the purchase order (as to quantity only and not
in waiver of Endo's opportunity to reject under pursuant to Section 3.07), or
(b) issue a replacement purchase order for an additional batch of the Product,
and Noven shall use reasonable commercial efforts to deliver such Product within
60 days of the date of such replacement purchase order; provided, that in either
case Endo shall accept and pay to Noven the price for the units of Product
delivered. Endo's failure to issue a replacement purchase order within such
30-day period shall be deemed as an acceptance of such delivery pursuant to
subsection (a) above. Any replacement Purchase order submitted by Endo to Noven
pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be subject to the same terms and conditions
of this Agreement as purchase orders submitted pursuant to section 3.03.

         Section 3.05. Delivery. Product shall be delivered to Endo by Noven Ex
Works (Incoterms 2000) Noven's Manufacturing Facility. All Products shall be
properly prepared for safe and lawful shipment by Noven, shall be shipped to
Endo's distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee or other location designated by
Endo, via the common carrier selected by Endo, and shall be accompanied by
appropriate transportation and other agreed upon documentation including,
without limitation, DEA form 222. Noven shall ensure that the common carrier
vehicles onto which the Product is loaded are environmentally controlled
vehicles. Noven shall make all arrangements for shipping via the common carrier
at Endo's expense. No product of any other party shall be shipped with the
Products. Shipping cost actually prepaid by Noven will be billed to Endo monthly
by Noven on separate invoices.

         Section 3.06. Active Ingredient Quota. On April 1 of each calendar
year, Endo shall deliver to Noven a forecast of its requirements of the Product
for the following calendar year, for the purpose of assisting Noven in
projecting its demand for the Active Ingredient for such calendar year for
submission to and approval by the DEA.

         Section 3.07.  Acceptance and Rejection of the Product.

         (a) Endo shall, (i) in the case of defects which are discovered during
incoming inspection by Endo, within 30 days after Endo receives delivery of
shipment of the Product, or (ii) in the case of latent defect, within 30 days
from the date that Endo discovered such defect, notify Noven, in writing, of any
rejection of any such Product ("Rejection Notice"), on the basis of (A) any
non-compliance with the Specifications or (B) failure of any such shipment to
conform with any product warranty set forth in this Agreement. Failure to
provide Rejection Notice to Noven within the applicable 30-day period shall
constitute acceptance by Endo of the shipment. Any such possible Rejection
Notice shall state in reasonable detail (sufficient to enable Noven to identify
the nature of the problem for tests or studies to be conducted by or on its
behalf or to dispute the same) the reason why Endo believes the Product may not
be acceptable to Endo. Endo shall, within five business days of its receipt of a
request by Noven for samples of rejected Product, provide samples of the Product
being rejected, if appropriate, and copies of written reports relating to tests,
studies or investigations performed to date by or on behalf of Endo on the
Product being rejected.

         (b) Endo's test results or basis for rejection shall be conclusive
unless Noven notifies Endo, within 30 days of receipt by Noven of the Rejection
Notice, that it disagrees with such test results or basis for rejection. If Endo
and Noven fail to agree within 10 days after Noven's notice to Endo as to
whether any Product identified in the Rejection Notice (i) deviates from the
Specifications to any extent, or (ii) breaches a representation or warranty in
this Agreement to an extent that the Product is not saleable, representative
samples of the batch of the Product in question shall be submitted to a mutually
acceptable independent laboratory or consultant (if not a laboratory analysis
issue) for analysis or review. If such laboratory needs to be qualified, then
Endo and Noven will equally share the cost and expense of the qualification. The
results of such evaluation shall be binding upon the parties. If Noven and Endo
determine by agreement or if such evaluation certifies that the Product was
properly rejected by Endo, Endo may reject the Product in the manner
contemplated by Section 3.07(c). The party that is determined to have been
incorrect in its determination of whether the Product should be rejected shall
pay the costs of any such evaluation. Should the fees associated with the work
conducted by the independent laboratory or consultant be due up front, Endo and
Noven shall each pay 50% of such upfront fees; provided, that if it is
determined by the independent laboratory or consultant that either party shall
have been incorrect in its determination, such party shall reimburse the other
party for such 50% of fees.

         (c) In the event an order or partial order is rejected by Endo pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 3.07, Endo shall return to Noven (or, at the
election of Noven, destroy and provide evidence of such destruction to Noven)
any units of such rejected Product. Noven shall, at Endo's election, either (i)
credit the original invoice in respect of the rejected Product and re-invoice
Endo for the units that were not rejected and credit Endo any reasonable
expenses incurred by it related to the shipping of the rejected Product to Endo
and the return or destruction of the rejected Product against other amounts then
due Noven hereunder or (ii) at Noven's cost and expense, replace such rejected
Product with conforming Product as soon as practicable. Noven shall have no
obligation to Endo with regard to any defective Product if it is determined

                                       8

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

that any such defect is attributable to the failure by any Person to properly
store, transport or care for such Product after such Product leaves Noven's
possession.

         (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary (except Section 3.09 below), in the event that Endo receives Product in
violation of the Product dating warranty set forth at Section 5.01(d), Endo will
attempt to mitigate the damages caused by such breach by using commercially
reasonable efforts to sell such Product with twelve (12) or more months of
dating, provided, however, that Noven shall remain responsible for its breach of
Section 5.01(d) in the event that Endo is unsuccessful in its efforts to sell
such Products or its results result in the Product being sold at a reduced
price.

         Section 3.08. Notices Regarding Supply. If at anytime during the Term
of this Agreement Noven determines that its ability to supply Endo's
requirements of Product may be hindered, Noven shall promptly notify Endo.

         Section 3.09 Endo Responsibility for Launch Quantity API. In the event
that any portion of the Validation Batches or orders for the first three months
of commercial supply (the "Launch Quantities") become unsaleable due to delay in
receiving final FDA Regulatory Approval for the Product, FDA required changes in
the Product labeling (including the printed patch backing) or a Force Majeure
event (including in each case where the unsaleability is due to a resulting
diminished remaining shelf-life), the parties shall share the risk as follows:
Endo shall be responsible for the actual API costs for such unsaleable Product
as follows: (i) *** of the API cost for unsaleable validation batches, (ii) ***
of the API Cost for unsaleable Product ordered for the *** and *** following
launch, and (iii) *** of the API cost for unsaleable Launch Quantities above the
Noven API Launch Cost Cap (as defined in this paragraph). Noven shall have not
responsibility to Endo for any API costs above the Noven API Launch Cost Cap.
The initial Noven API Launch Cost Cap shall be ***, and is based on the
preliminary launch quantity estimates set forth on Schedule 3.09. In the event
that the actual Launch Quantities ordered are in excess of the amounts set forth
in Schedule 3.09, then the Noven API Launch Cost Cap shall be increased by the
proportional increase in the amount of API required to make such additional
quantities up to a maximum aggregate Noven API Launch Cost Cap of ***. By way of
example, if Endo's orders for launch quantities require *** more API then the
estimated orders set forth on Schedule 3.09, then the Noven API Launch Cost Cap
would be ***. Additionally, Endo shall reimburse Noven for one-half of all of
Noven's actual incremental variable costs associated with the manufacturing of
the Launch Quantities in excess of the estimated quantities set forth in
Schedule 3.09. Noven shall bear the risk of loss for all costs associated with
manufacturing the Launch Quantities other than Endo's responsibility for Launch
Quantity API and incremental manufacturing costs set forth above; and, in the
event that Noven is bearing the cost of the API then Noven shall invoice Endo
for the amount of the API cost for which Endo is responsible pursuant to this
Section 3.09 at the time such API is received by Noven. Such invoices shall be
due and payable within thirty days of receipt by Endo, and Endo shall deduct
such API costs from the next Gross Margin payment otherwise owed Noven under
this License Agreement.

                          ARTICLE IV PRICE AND PAYMENT

         Section 4.01. Invoice. Following shipment of each order of the Product
to Endo, Noven shall promptly invoice Endo for such shipment. Each invoice shall
specify the amount of product shipped, the per unit invoice Price of the Product
as further described in Section 4.02 below, and the total invoice amount.
Subject to Section 3.07(c), Endo shall pay Noven for each shipment of Product
the total invoiced amount within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of a
correct invoice, the Product and all supporting documentation (such as the
certificate of analysis) required to perform an incoming quality assurance
inspection; provided that with respect to any shipments for which Endo has
identified a quality assurance issue during such thirty (30) day period, payment
therefore shall be ten (10) business days from the date of resolution of such
quality assurance issue. Both parties agree to provide their full cooperation
with any quality assurance investigation and to use commercially reasonable
efforts to achieve the prompt resolution of any such investigation. All payments
required to be made hereunder shall be paid in United States dollars and made by
corporate check drawn on a United States bank or a United States branch of a
foreign bank, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
financial institution, account number and account party's name designated in
writing by Noven to Endo from time to time. Should Endo dispute any portion of
an invoice, it shall not be required to pay any portion of such invoice until
such time as the dispute is resolved and Endo receives a fully corrected
invoice; provided that, in such an event, Noven shall have the option of issuing
a new, correct invoice for the portion of the original invoice not in dispute,
and Endo shall pay such new invoice within 10 business days of the receipt of
the corrected invoice (provided that Endo shall have no obligation to pay
earlier than when the payment following the original invoice would have been
due). Interest shall accrue on any overdue and undisputed amount due and payable
to Noven at the lesser rate of 1% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law

         Section 4.02. Invoice Price. Noven shall charge Endo for shipped
Product manufactured for commercial sale in the United States on a per unit
basis at Noven's actual fully loaded manufacturing cost. Noven shall charge Endo
for shipped Product manufactured for commercial sale in Canada on a per unit
basis at Noven's actual fully loaded manufacturing cost plus ***. Noven's fully
loaded manufacturing cost shall be calculated in accordance with Section 4.03
below. A non-binding estimate of the price for the first year of commercial
supply of the U.S. Product, together with a detailed allocation of the
calculation of each component of Noven's fully loaded manufacturing costs, is
set forth on Schedule 4.02. Noven shall provide Endo with a similar estimate
within 30 days of the beginning of each subsequent contract year. The transfer
price for the Product charged to Endo in each Invoice will be based on good
faith estimates by Noven of the actual fully loaded manufacturing cost of
Product. Semi-annually Noven shall reconcile the amount invoiced to Endo and
paid by Endo with Noven's actual fully loaded manufacturing cost. Noven shall
provide a copy of each reconciliation to Endo. To the extent that Noven has
overcharged Endo, Noven shall credit to Endo all amounts overcharged. To the
extent that Noven has undercharged Endo, Noven shall invoice Endo for the
undercharged amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event
of a dispute between Endo and Noven as to the proper calculation of the Product
Price, such dispute shall be referred to an independent accounting firm mutually
agreeable to the parties per Section 6.01 below, whose opinion shall be final
and binding.

         Section 4.03. Limit on Overhead Allocation. For purposes of determining
Noven's fully loaded manufacturing cost of Product supplied to Endo hereunder,
Noven shall include Noven's actual cost of materials and labor and an allocation
of Noven's total manufacturing overhead. This allocation shall be determined
using the same methodology Noven uses in determining its cost of goods for the
other products it manufactures, all in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied, but subject to the further limitations described in this Section 4.03.
For the ***, provided that the total units shipped in such period are within the
range set forth in Schedule 4.03, Noven shall allocate between *** (the
"Collar") of overhead to its Product manufacturing cost. For each succeeding ***
period, the Collar shall be adjusted by the change in the Producer Price Index
(Pharmaceutical Preparations, ethical PCU2834#), published by the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or comparable successor index,
again provided that the total units shipped in each such period are within the
range set forth in Schedule 4.03. To the extent that the total units actually
shipped to Endo in any contract year fall outside of the range set forth in
Schedule 4.03, the corresponding upper or lower limit of the collar will be
adjusted by a percentage equal to *** of the percentage increase or decrease in
shipments. For example, if Noven's shipments in a contract year were *** higher
than the highest amount forecast in Schedule 4.03, the then existing upper limit
of the collar would be increased by ***. If Noven's shipments in a contract year
were *** lower than the lowest amount forecast in Schedule 4.03, then the lower
limit of the collar would be reduced by ***.

          (d)  Except for Product manufactured before final approval of the
               Product in fulfillment of Endo orders for Launch Quantities, all
               Product supplied by Noven shall have a minimum of *** of the
               shelf life set forth in the applicable Product registration still
               available at the time of delivery to Endo.

         Section 5.02. The Specifications. Endo or Noven shall not change the

of this Agreement, the parties are entering into a Quality Agreement which is
attached hereto as Exhibit B.

         Section 5.03. Disclaimer. NOVEN HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY.


                    ARTICLE VI AUDITS AND INSPECTION RIGHT'S

         Section 6.01. Records and Audits. Noven shall keep complete and
accurate records concerning its manufacturing costs and any other costs and
expenses relevant to the amounts payable to Noven hereunder. Such records shall
be kept in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Noven shall, at
Endo's request and expense, make those records available during normal business
hours upon ten (10) business days prior written notice for examination by
independent certified public accountants or auditors designated by Endo and
reasonably acceptable to Noven; provided, that Endo shall only have access to
such records once in each calendar year. In the event an underpayment or
overpayment is discovered, the applicable party shall make payment to the other
of the respective amount within 15 days of notification of the determination. In
the event that an overpayment by Endo of greater than 5% is discovered, the cost
of such audit shall be borne by Noven. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, the terms of the Quality Agreement will govern all
quality assurance inspections.


         ARTICLE VII ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

         Section 7.01. Confidentiality. The parties hereby agree that the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and each party's activities hereunder shall be
subject to the confidentiality obligations (and all applicable exceptions
thereto) set forth in the License Agreement.

         Section 7.02. Packaging and Labeling. All Products supplied hereunder
shall be in finished dosage form, packaged and Labeled for commercial sale in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Specifications
and applicable Laws. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.03, Endo shall
control the content and type of all Labeling for the Products. Endo shall supply
to Noven, in a timely fashion, all artwork required to Label the Products with
such trademarks, logos or designs as Endo shall select and in accordance with
Applicable Laws. Noven shall have the responsibility for: (i) securing any
approvals required by the FDA or other applicable Regulatory Authorities for the
initial Label; (ii) securing any approvals required by the FDA or other
applicable Regulatory Authorities for any changes or supplements to the Labeling
requested by Endo following regulatory approval of the Product ANDA, provided
that Noven is the holder of the Product ANDA at such time; and (iii) any Noven
information on the Label which shall be approved in advance by Noven. In the
event that Endo wishes to modify or change the Label, Endo shall provide
reasonable advance notice of

                                       12

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

such desired change to Noven and forward such modifications or changes to Noven
for Noven's review and approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

         Section 7.03. Product Recall. Product recalls shall be conducted in
accordance with the terms of the Quality Agreement. Each of Noven and Endo shall
make a permanent, complete and accurate record of all costs incurred by its
connection with any Product recall, a copy of which shall be delivered to the
other party upon its request as soon after the completion of such recall or
seizure as practically may be done. If the cause of, or reason for, said recall
is attributable to any reason beyond the reasonable control of the parties, the
total cost of the recall to the parties shall be shared equally among the
parties. If the cause of, or reason for, said recall or seizure arises is both
not attributable to reasons beyond the reasonable control of the parties and is
attributable to the negligence or breach of this Agreement by a party hereto,
such party shall reimburse the other for all reasonable costs incurred by it in
effecting such recall or seizure. If Noven and Endo cannot agree which party is
at fault or whether the recall was reasonably beyond the control of the parties,
then an independent technical expert, acceptable to both, will be designated to
make the determination. The so designated technical expert shall not be an
employee, consultant, officer, director or shareholder of or otherwise
associated with any party or an Affiliate of any party. The technical expert's
determination shall be, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, binding and
conclusive upon the parties.

         Section 7.04 Product Shelf Life. Noven shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain *** expiration dating, and will to continue to use
such efforts even if the Product is initially approved by the FDA with less than
*** expiration dating.

         Section 10.02. Certain Termination Events.

         (a) Except as otherwise contemplated by Sections 3.05 and 10.02(c),
either Noven or Endo shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the
other commits any continuing or material breach of any of the provisions of this
Agreement and (in the case of a breach which is capable of remedy) fails to
remedy the same within 60 days after receipt of written notice giving full
particulars of the breach and requiring it to be so remedied;

         (b) In the event that at any time during the Term Noven shall, (i)
during any period of six consecutive months, fail to supply at least *** of the
aggregate number of units of Product (which number of units shall be determined
with reference to the number of units estimated to be yielded by each Batch
ordered by Endo as reflected in Exhibit A) ordered pursuant to Purchase Orders
properly submitted by Endo during such period (other than by reason of the fault
of Endo), or (ii) fail to provide *** of the aggregate number of units of
Product ordered during any two separate periods of three consecutive months,
Endo shall (A) have the right to terminate its obligation to exclusively
purchase Product from Noven and have a third party manufacture on its behalf the
Product to supply and (B) have the right to withdraw any purchase orders
submitted to Noven for amounts in excess of Noven's ability to supply.

         (c) Either party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if
the Product is withdrawn from the market in the Territory for serious adverse
health or safety reasons.

         (d) Either Noven or Endo may terminate this Agreement with immediate
effect in the event a Force Majeure Event as to the other shall exist and be
continuing for a period of 120 consecutive days.

         (e) Noven may terminate its obligation to supply Endo with its
requirements of Product under this Agreement upon twenty-four months notice in
the event that Noven's gross margins on the manufacture of Product (taking into
account all Endo payments hereunder and under the License Agreement in
calculating such margins--except for the milestone payments) drops to less than
*** of its fully allocated manufacturing cost for the Product in two consecutive
calendar quarters. Such termination notice shall contain the election of Noven
to either (1) continue to be paid its share of the Gross Margin per the License
Agreement, or (ii) be paid its fully loaded manufacturing costs plus *** for
Product, during the period following the notice until Noven no longer supplies
Product hereunder, in exchange for the immediate and permanent termination of
any and all gross margin splits and royalty obligations otherwise due and
payable pursuant to the License Agreement. Noven agrees to provide the technical
transfer services set forth in Schedule 10.02 (the "Tech Transfer Services"),
including the delivery to Endo of the Technical Transfer Documentation Package
within *** of the termination notice and completion of the transfer of all
analytical methods within *** of the termination notice. The termination by
Noven shall become effective *** following receipt of the notice by Endo,
provided, however, that the effective date of the termination shall be extended
by each day of delay in excess of the corresponding time periods set forth above
which it takes Noven to complete the transfer of the Technical Transfer
Documentation Package and the analytical methods. The manufacturing period,
however, shall not be extended to the extent such delay occurs through no fault
of Noven. To the extent that such alternative manufacturer would need to use
technology owned by, or

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

protected by intellectual property owned by, Noven, access to such technology
would be provided on limited basis and restricted solely to use for the
manufacture of Product.

         (f) In the event of a termination by Endo pursuant to Section 10.02
(a), (b) or (d), Noven agrees to work in good faith with Endo to qualify a
suitable alternative manufacturer for the Product that has been identified by
Endo and that agrees to undertake such manufacturing. Endo agrees to work in
good faith with Noven regarding such transfer and ensure that the third party
works in good faith with Noven as well. Noven shall, as promptly as is
reasonably practicable, perform the Tech Transfer Services. In the event the
delivery to Endo of the Technical Transfer Documentation Package is completed
within *** of the termination notice and the transfer of all analytical methods
is completed within *** of the termination notice, or such time periods are
exceeded due to no fault of Noven, Endo shall reimburse Noven for the time of
its technical staff in performing such transfer at the rate of *** and all
reasonable travel expenses pre-approved by Endo. In the event that such services
are not completed within such time periods due to the fault of Noven, Endo will
reimburse Noven its reasonable pre-approved travel expenses in full but shall
have no other payment obligation for the technology transfer. To the extent that
such alternative manufacturer would need to use technology owned by, or
protected by intellectual property owned by, Noven, access to such technology
would be provided on limited basis and restricted solely to use for the
manufacture of Product.

         Section 10.04. Obligations on Termination. Within 30 days of any
expiration or termination of this Agreement other than a termination by Endo
pursuant to Section 10.02 (a), (b) or (d), or a termination by Noven pursuant to
Section 10.02 (e), (i) Endo shall cease to use and shall deliver to Noven, upon
written request, all Confidential Information of Noven, except for any documents
or records that Endo is required to retain by Applicable Law, and (ii) Noven
shall cease to use and shall deliver to Endo, upon written request, all
Confidential Information of Endo except for any documents or records that Noven
is required to retain by Applicable Law. In the event of a termination by Endo
pursuant to Section 10.02 (a), (b) or (d), a termination by Noven pursuant to
Section 10.02 (e), Endo shall be permitted to retain and use the Confidential
Information in the manufacture of the Product, and to disclose such Confidential
Information to its third party manufacturer, provided that such third party
manufacturer is under obligations of confidentiality no less stringent than this
Agreement.

         Section 10.05. Effect of Termination. Upon termination, this Agreement
shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect, except for the
following provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect: (a) Section
7.01 (Confidentiality), (b) this Article 10, (c) Section 11.9 (Governing Law),
(d) Section 11.11 (Entire Agreement), and (e) Section 11.12 (Expenses) and any
other provisions which expressly survive termination. The rights and remedies
provided in this Article X shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights

of carrier, shortage or failure in the supply of materials, labor disturbance or
acts, regulations or laws of any government adopted after the date of this
Agreement or subject to a new interpretation after the date of this Agreement
that render impossible or illegal the performance by a Party of its obligations
under this Agreement (a "Force Majeure Event"), the party so affected, upon
notice to the other parties, shall be excused from such performance, provided
that the party so affected shall use diligent effort to avoid or remove such
cause or causes of non-performance and shall continue to perform hereunder with
the utmost dispatch whenever such cause or causes are removed.

         Section 11.14. Insurance. Throughout the Term, each of Noven and Endo
shall maintain commercial liability insurance, including blanket commercial
liability insurance covering the obligation of that party under this Agreement
through the term of this Agreement and for five years thereafter, which
insurance shall afford limits of not less than US$10,000,000 per occurrence,
(and in the aggregate only with respect to personal injury liability) for bodily
injury liability, products liability, property damage liability, contractual
liability and completed operations liability with an insurance carrier qualified
to do business in the United States. Each of Noven and Endo shall promptly
furnish to the other evidence of the maintenance of the insurance required
hereunder and shall name the other as an "additional insured" under a broad form
vendor's endorsement to such insurance policy. In case any such policies are
written on a "claims made" basis, such policies shall remain in effect for a
period of five years following the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of each of Noven and
Endo to obtain insurance in accordance with this Section 7.04 is subject to the
availability of such insurance from nationally recognized carriers at reasonable
rates and on reasonable terms and conditions, which reasonableness shall be
determined in the judgment of each party, respectively, in accordance with such
party's past practices to the ordinary course of business. In the event either
party shall be unable to obtain insurance as contemplated by this Section 7.04,
such party shall notify the other party as soon as practicable and shall have
the right to self-insure such coverage; provided that any party opting to so
self-insure shall provide to the other party reasonable information regarding
its self-insurance program.

and agrees that it has not and will not use in any capacity the services of any
