“Manager”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are specifically defined in Section 11. 
 WHEREAS, Axcan Pharma Inc.
(the “Company”) and Axcan Intermediate have entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”), involving the acquisition by 4445660 Canada Inc. (“4445660 Canada”), an affiliate of
TPG Partners V, L.P., of all of the outstanding common shares of the Company for a consideration of US$23.35 per common share (the “Transaction”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company, its shareholders (the “Shareholders”), Axcan Intermediate, and 4445660 Canada, have entered into a plan of arrangement under section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations
Act (the “Plan of Arrangement”); 
 WHEREAS, at a special meeting of the Shareholders held on January 25, 2008, the
Shareholders have approved the Plan of Arrangement; 
 WHEREAS, to enable the Company and Axcan Intermediate to engage in the Arrangement
Agreement, Plan of Arrangement and related transactions, the Manager has and will provide financial and structural advice and analysis as well as assistance with due diligence investigations and negotiations (the “Financial Advisory
Services”); 
 WHEREAS, Axcan Holdings and Axcan Intermediate also wish to retain the Manager to provide certain management,
advisory and consulting services to the Axcan Companies after closing the Transaction (the “Closing”); and 
 WHEREAS, the
Manager is willing to provide the services described above on the terms set forth below. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Services. The Manager
hereby agrees that, during the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) it will provide to the Axcan Companies, to the extent appropriate and requested by the Axcan Companies, by and through itself and/or its successors, assigns,
affiliates, officers, employees and/or representatives and third parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Manager Designees”), as the Manager in its sole discretion may designate from time to time, management, advisory
and consulting services in relation to the affairs of the Axcan Companies, including, without limitation: 
 (a) advice in connection with the
negotiation and consummation of agreements, contracts, documents and instruments necessary to provide the Axcan Companies with financing on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Axcan Companies; 







 (b) advice in connection with acquisition, disposition and change of control transactions involving any
of the Axcan Companies or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries or any of their respective successors; 
 (c) financial, managerial
and operational advice in connection with day-to-day operations, including, without limitation, advice with respect to the development and implementation of strategies for improving the operating, marketing and financial performance of the Axcan
Companies; and 
 (d) such other services (which may include financial and strategic planning and analysis, consulting services, human
resources and executive recruitment services and other services) as the Manager and the Axcan Companies may from time to time agree in writing. 
 The Manager or the Manager Designees will devote such time and efforts to the performance of the services contemplated hereby as is reasonably necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that no specified number of hours is
required to be devoted by the Manager or the Manager Designees on a weekly, monthly, annual or other basis. The Axcan Companies acknowledge that each of the services is not exclusive to the Axcan Companies and that the Manager and the Manager
Designees may render similar services to other persons and entities. The Manager and the Axcan Companies understand that the Axcan Companies may at times engage one or more investment bankers or financial advisers to provide services in addition to
services provided by the Manager and the Manager Designees under this Agreement. In providing services to the Axcan Companies, the Manager and Manager Designees will act as independent contractors and it is expressly understood and agreed that this
Agreement is not intended to create, and does not create, any partnership, agency, joint venture or similar relationship and that no party has the right or ability to contract for or on behalf of any other party or to effect any transaction for the
account of any other party. 
 2. Payment of Fees. 
 (a) In the event the Closing occurs under the Arrangement Agreement, then at the Closing, the Axcan Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay the Manager (or its designee) an aggregate transaction fee of US$12
million. In the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, then the Axcan Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay to the Manager (or their Affiliated designees), in consideration of the Manager providing the Financial
Advisory Services, an aggregate transaction fee in an amount equal to the product of (i) US$12 million multiplied by (ii) a fraction of which (A) the numerator is the number of days from and including November 29, 2007 through
but excluding the earlier of May 29, 2008 or the date the Arrangement Agreement is terminated and (B) the denominator is the number of days from and including November 29, 2007 through but excluding May 29, 2008. Fees payable
under this Section 2(a) are collectively referred to as the “Transaction Fees”. 
 (b) From and after the Closing until
the termination of this Agreement, the Axcan Companies, jointly and severally, will pay per annum to the Manager (or its designee) a monitoring fee equal to two per cent (2%) of the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA (the “Monitoring
Fee”), as compensation for the services provided by the Manager or the Manager Designees under this Agreement, such fee being payable by the Axcan Companies quarterly in 

  

 2 








 
arrears within 60 days of the quarter ending on each March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st. The Monitoring
Fee shall be payable for any quarterly period or portion thereof beginning on or after the Closing during which this Agreement was in effect for any portion thereof, shall be prorated for partial periods, and shall not be refundable in whole or in
part. 
 (c) During the Term, the Manager or the Manager Designees may advise the Axcan Companies in connection with financing, acquisition,
disposition and change of control transactions involving the Axcan Companies or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries (however structured, other than acquisition, disposition and financing transactions involving consideration of $25 million
or less), and the Manager shall have the right to require the Axcan Companies to pay to the Manager (or its designee) an aggregate fee (the “Subsequent Fee”) in connection with each such transaction equal to customary fees charged
by internationally-recognized investment banks for serving as a financial advisor in similar transactions, such fee to be due and payable for the foregoing services at the closing of such transaction. 
 (d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that an objective of the Axcan Companies is to maximize value for their direct and indirect equity holders,
which may include the consummation of an initial registered public offering of the equity securities or equity interests of the Axcan Companies or their successors (an “IPO”). The services provided to the Axcan Companies by the
Manager and the Manager Designees will help to facilitate the consummation of an IPO should the Axcan Companies determine to pursue such a transaction. In the event an IPO is consummated and this Agreement terminates automatically pursuant to
Section 4, the Axcan Companies will pay to the Manager (or its designee) in cash on the date of consummation of such IPO (in lieu of any Subsequent Fee) an aggregate success fee (the “Success Fee”) in an amount equal to the sum
of the net present values (using discount rates equal to the then yield on U.S. Treasury Securities of like maturity) of the Monitoring Fees that would have been payable with respect to the period from the date of consummation of the IPO until the
expiration date in effect immediately prior to such IPO (assuming continuing Company Consolidated EBITDA equal to that in the then immediately preceding twelve month period). 
 (e) Each payment made pursuant to this Section 2 shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the account specified on
Schedule 1 hereto, or to such other account(s) as the Manager may specify to the Axcan Companies in writing prior to such payment. In the event of an IPO that includes non-cash consideration, each Manager may elect for it or its designee to receive
all or any portion of its respective fee in the form of such non-cash consideration, valued at the sale price. 
 (f) The fees payable to the
Manager pursuant to this Section 2 shall be allocated by the Manager to its affiliates at the Manager’s discretion. 
 3.
Deferral. Any fee that would have been payable to the Manager (or its designees) pursuant to Section 2 above absent the restrictions, if any, in any financing or similar agreements (the “Financing Documents”) applicable
to the Axcan Companies (the “Deferred Fees”) will accrue upon the immediately succeeding period in which such amounts could, consistent with the Financing Documents, be paid, and will be paid in such succeeding period (in addition
to such other amounts that would otherwise be payable at such time) in the manner set forth in Section 2.

 4. Term. This Agreement will continue in full force and effect until February 25, 2018
provided that this Agreement shall automatically be extended each February 25th for an additional year unless the Axcan Companies or the Manager provide written notice of their desire to not automatically extend the term of this Agreement to
the other parties hereto at least 90 days prior to such February 25th. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, this Agreement may be terminated at any time by Axcan Holdings upon notice to Manager and this Agreement shall terminate
automatically upon an IPO unless otherwise determined by Axcan Holdings. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, the Axcan Companies will pay the Manager (or their respective designees) all unpaid Transaction Fees (pursuant to
Section 2(a) above), Monitoring Fees (pursuant to Section 2(b) above), Subsequent Fees (pursuant to Section 2(c) above), Success Fees (pursuant to Section 2(d) above), Deferred Fees (pursuant to Section 3 above) and expenses
(pursuant to Section 5(a) below) due with respect to periods prior to the date of termination. This Section 4 and Section 5, Section 6, Section 7, Section 9, Section 10, Section 12 and Section 14 will
survive termination of this Agreement. At the end of the Term, all obligations of the Manager under this Agreement will terminate. 
 5.
Expenses; Indemnification. 
 (a) Expenses. The Axcan Companies, jointly and severally, will pay to the Manager (or their
respective designees) on demand all Reimbursable Expenses, whether incurred prior to or following the date of this Agreement. As used herein, “Reimbursable Expenses” means (i) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred prior to or
following the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing Date”) relating to (A) the services provided by the Manager, their respective affiliates, or the Manager Designees to the Axcan Companies or any of its affiliates (other
than to portfolio companies of the Manager or the Manager’s affiliated investment vehicles) from time to time (including, without limitation, all air travel and other travel related expenses) or (B) the Manager’s affiliated
funds’ investment in the Axcan Companies; (ii) all out-of-pocket legal expenses incurred by the Manager, its respective affiliates or the Manager Designees in connection with the enforcement of rights or taking of actions under this
Agreement, the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement or any related documents or instruments, whether incurred prior to or following the date of this Agreement; and (iii) all expenses incurred by the Manager, its respective affiliates
or the Manager Designees which are properly allocable to the Axcan Companies under this Agreement, whether incurred prior to or following the date of this Agreement.

and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them
before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of, or in any way relating to, (i) this Agreement, the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement, 

  

 4 








 
any transaction to which any of the Axcan Companies is a party or any other circumstances with respect to any of the Axcan Companies or (ii) operations
of, or services provided by the Manager or the Manager Designees to, the Axcan Companies, or any of their respective affiliates (other than to portfolio companies of a Manager or such Manager’s affiliated investment vehicles) from time to time
(including, but not limited to, any indemnification obligations assumed or incurred by any Indemnitee to or on behalf of the Axcan Companies or any of their accountants or other representatives, agents or affiliates); provided that the
foregoing indemnification rights will not be available to the extent that any such Indemnified Liabilities arose on account of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that if and to the
extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Axcan Companies hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible
under applicable law. For purposes of this Section 5(b), none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the two provisos in the immediately preceding sentence will be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Axcan Companies, then such payments will be
promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Axcan Companies without interest. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such person may have under any other agreement or instrument referenced
above or any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation. 
 6. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability; Opportunities. 
 (a) Disclaimer; Standard of Care.
Neither the Manager nor any Manager Designee makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, in respect of the services to be provided by the Manager or the Manager Designees hereunder. In no event will the Manager, the Manager
Designees or Indemnitees be liable to the Axcan Companies or any of their respective affiliates for any act, alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager, the Manager
Designees or Indemnitees as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (b) Freedom to
Pursue Opportunities. In recognition that the Manager, the Manager Designees and their respective Indemnitees currently have, and will in the future have or will consider acquiring, investments in numerous companies with respect to which the
Manager, the Manager Designees or their respective Indemnitees may serve as an advisor, a director or in some other capacity, and in recognition that each Manager, each Manager Designee and their respective Indemnitees have myriad duties to various
investors and partners, and in anticipation that the Axcan Companies, on the one hand, and the Manager and Manager Designee (or one or more of their respective Indemnitees or portfolio companies), on the other hand, may engage in the same or similar
activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Axcan Companies hereunder and in recognition of the difficulties which may confront any
advisor who desires and endeavors fully to satisfy such advisor’s duties in determining the full scope of such duties in any particular situation, the provisions of this Section 6(b) are set forth to 

  

 5 








 
regulate, define and guide the conduct of certain affairs of the Axcan Companies as they may involve the Manager, the Manager Designees or their respective
Indemnitees. Except as the Manager or the Manager Designees may otherwise explicitly agree in writing after the date hereof:

present any corporate opportunities to the Axcan Companies or any of their affiliates or to refrain from any actions specified in Section 6(b)(i), and the Axcan Companies, on their own behalf and on behalf of their affiliates, hereby renounce
and waive any right to require the Manager, the Manager Designees or any of their respective Indemnitees to act in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 6(b). 
 (iii) None of the Manager, the Manager Designees nor any of their respective Indemnitees will be liable to the Axcan Companies or any of
their affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of any activities or omissions of the types referred to in this Section 6(b) or of any such Person’s participation therein. 
 (c) Limitation of Liability. In no event will the Manager, a Manager Designee or any of their respective Indemnitees be liable to the Axcan
Companies or any of their affiliates for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits or savings, whether or not such damages are foreseeable, or for any third party claims (whether based in
contract, tort or otherwise), relating to the services to be provided by the Manager or a Manager Designee hereunder. 
 (d)
Information. The Axcan Companies will use their reasonable best efforts to furnish, or to cause their respective affiliates and agents to furnish, the Manager with such information (the “Information”) as the Manager
