sub-license) to use the Trademark in relation to the sale, promotion and marketing of the
Shire Product in the Territory for the Services Term (including use of the Trademark for

	 	(d)	 	not do anything which could, in Shire’s reasonable opinion, bring the Trademark

	 	(e)	 	not use the Trademark in a manner which could, in Shire’s reasonable opinion,
result in any of them becoming generic or in Shire’s rights in them becoming diluted,
or which could otherwise prejudice or invalidate any registration or application for
registration of any of the Trademark anywhere in the world.






	11.3	 	Rights in the Trademark. Impax acknowledges that:






	 	(a)	 	it shall not acquire, nor claim, any right, title or interest in or to the

before, during or after the Term shall accrue and belong to Shire and Impax shall (and
shall procure that its Affiliates shall), at Shire’s request and cost, promptly execute
all documents required by Shire to confirm this.






	11.4	 	Third Party Trademark Use. Impax shall promptly notify Shire if it or CSO becomes aware of
the use of any mark by a Third Party that Impax or CSO considers a possible infringement,
passing off, or misappropriation of the Trademark. Shire shall have the sole right and

Third Party. In the event that Shire decides that an action should be taken




16









 






	 	 	against such Third Party, Shire shall take such action at its sole expense and in its
own name. Impax agrees to cooperate with Shire, and to procure such cooperation from
any CSO or Sales Force member, to the extent reasonably necessary to prosecute such
action (and Shire shall pay all reasonable costs and fees of Impax associated
therewith). Any damages recovered under such action shall be for the account of
Shire.






	11.5	 	Warranties. Shire and Impax each represent and warrant that:






	 	(a)	 	it is a company duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware and each

into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
	 
	 	(c)	 	this Agreement is valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms and conditions;
	 
	 	(d)	 	it is not under any obligation to any person, contractual or otherwise, that
conflicts with the terms of this Agreement;
	 
	 	(e)	 	the execution of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations

it may have to any Third Party; and
	 
	 	(f)	 	it will maintain throughout the Services Term all permits, licenses,
registrations and other forms of governmental authorization and approval required in
order to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise conflict with any intellectual property rights of
any Third Party.

the Parties set forth in this Agreement, no warranty, condition, term, undertaking or
representation (express or implied, statutory or otherwise) is given by one Party to the other
in respect of the Trademark, the Shire Product or the Impax Product; such warranties,
conditions, terms, undertakings and representations are to the extent permitted by law
expressly excluded.

shall survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement.

relates to this Agreement, the Sales Force, the Shire Product or practices associated with the
Shire Product, Impax shall give Shire prompt notice of such request, and unless otherwise

             (employee’s name),
(hereinafter “I” or “me”), to be effective as of                                          (date of receipt):



1.0 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND COMPANY PROPERTY




     1.1 Confidential Information.



     I acknowledge that Employer and its parents, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates, as well
as majority-owned companies of such subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates, and their respective
predecessors and successors (hereinafter collectively, “Company”) possess certain Confidential
Information which has been and may be revealed to or learned by me during my employment with
Company. I acknowledge that the term “Confidential Information” includes all information that has
or could have commercial value or other utility relating to the Company’s Business and/or that of
its clients or the unauthorized disclosure of which could be detrimental to the interests of the
Company and/or its clients, whether or not such information is specifically identified as
Confidential Information by Company.



     1.2 Company Business.



     I acknowledge that Company’s Business includes any or all of the following: (i) providing
sales and marketing representatives on a contract basis to organizations in the pharmaceutical
and/or healthcare industry; and (ii) such other businesses as Company may enter or make preparation
to enter subsequent to the date that this Agreement is executed.



     1.3 Examples of Confidential Information.



     By way of example and not limitation, Confidential Information includes any and all
information, whether or not meeting the legal definition of a trade secret, concerning Company’s:

disclosure by me. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary



1









 







in this Agreement, however, Confidential Information includes any and all information that
Company is obligated to maintain as confidential.



     1.4 Patient Information as Confidential Information.


I expressly agree and acknowledge that the following described information or data that I may
obtain during the course of my employment for the Company are proprietary to the Company’s clients
and maybe legally protected under applicable federal and state law, shall be held by me in strict
confidence and, accordingly, shall not be disclosed by me to any other person or entity without the
Company’s and the Company’s client’s prior written consent and authorization, and shall be treated
as Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement:




     (i) Information relating to the identity of any patient;



          Information relating to any services provided to any individual patient;



     (iii) Information relating to the diagnosis and treatment of any individual patient; and/or



     (iv) Information relating to any amounts charged to, or funds received from, any individual
patient or any Third Party payer with respect to any services provided to such individual patients.


I understand that any unauthorized disclosure of individually identifiable patient information
could be a violation of federal law, and could subject me to criminal penalties.




     1.5 Use of Confidential Information.



     During the term of my employment with Company and thereafter, I will not, directly or
indirectly, use or disclose to anyone, or authorize disclosure or use of, any of the Confidential
Information revealed to or learned by me during the course of my employment with Company
(regardless of the source of such information), unless such use or disclosure is both consistent
with Company’s obligations and is for the sole purpose of carrying out my duties to Company.



     1.6 Protection and Return of Company Property.



     I acknowledge that Confidential Information is essential to Company’s Business and/or to the
Company’s clients. I agree that I will not make any copies of Confidential Information or other
Company property except as authorized by Company. I agree that at the end of my employment I will
return to Company immediately any and all Company property and documents and other media containing
Confidential Information (and all copies thereof) in my possession, custody or control. Company’s
property includes but is not limited to all financial books, records, instruments and documents;
customer lists; data; reports; programs; software; hardware; tapes; rolodexes; telephone and
address books; call cards listings; credit and phone cards; programming; customer files and
records; training materials, marketing materials and books and policy manuals; and any and all
other instruments, computers and other equipment, products, literature, records and documents
recorded or stored on any medium whatsoever relating or pertaining, directly or indirectly, to
corporations, governmental entities and other



2









 







persons and entities with whom Company has contractual relations, the services or products
provided by Company, or Company’s Business or business affairs.


2.0 NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES




     I agree that during the term of my employment and for a period of twelve (12) months
thereafter, I shall not directly or indirectly induce any person associated with or employed by the
Company or any of its clients to leave the employ of or terminate his or her association with the
Company, or solicit the employment of any such person on either my behalf or on behalf of any other
business entity.


3.0 COMPLIANCE WITH PHARMACEUTICAL LAWS




     I agree to perform my obligations as an employee of Company in compliance with all applicable
Federal, State and local laws and regulations including without limitation, the Prescription Drug
Marketing Act of 1987 (“PDMA”) and if my job includes using samples of pharmaceutical products of
Company’s clients, to use and account for those samples as instructed by Employer and as required
by law and regulation, including without limitation the PDMA and any applicable final and proposed
FDA regulations.


4.0 ITEMS OF VALUE OFFERED TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS




     4.1. General.



     I understand that company and/or company client funds must never be allocated with strings
attached, used as a “reward” for prescribing particular products or placing them on a formulary, or
applied to cover operational expenses of healthcare professionals nor for the financial gain of
those persons receiving the funding on the benefits of the funding.



     4.2 Expenditures on Healthcare Professionals.



     I acknowledge that expenditures, such as lavish entertainment, are not consistent with either
professional ethics and applicable anti-kickback laws and regulations. Items of nominal value may
be permissible as long as they are directly related to the healthcare professional activities of
the healthcare professional involved and they have been previously approved for distribution by the
Company in consultation with the relevant client. However, even an item related to patient care may
be inappropriate because of its cost. Attached to this Agreement as Schedule A are some examples
you have given me of permissible expenditures and of unacceptable expenditures. I understand that
if I have any question with respect to a particular social event or gift, I should discuss this
with my Manager.



     4.3 Government Healthcare Professionals.



     Federal government employees, including physicians at Veterans Administration hospitals, and
many state employees may not accept an item of value of any kind from or on behalf of companies,
such as the Company, whose products or services they use.


Federal, State and Private Restrictions.




3









 








     Federal law and the laws of some states prohibit or severely restrict giving any items of
value to healthcare professionals. In addition, PhRMA, the American Medical Association, some
managed care organizations and some other private associations have adopted ethical rules and
similar restrictions on healthcare professionals receiving items of value. I understand that I must
be careful to observe all applicable limits. If I have any questions, I will consult with my
Manager.



NO ALTERATION OF MARKETING MATERIALS




     I understand and agree that I am not permitted to make any change, abbreviation or other
modification of or to any marketing materials provided to me concerning any pharmaceutical product
or any medical device which I have been assigned to detail to healthcare professionals or otherwise
to market. I further understand and agree that I may not use any marketing materials in connection
with detailing or otherwise marketing any pharmaceutical product or medical device other than
marketing materials provided to me by the Company. I acknowledge that any action of mine contrary
to my agreements may be a violation of Federal and/or state law and may expose me to criminal
sanctions and/or civil liability. If I have any question about any statement or omission in any
marketing materials, I will promptly bring that question to the attention of my Manager.


6.0 ACCESS BY COMPANY TO EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATIONS AND WORK AREA




     I agree and consent that, during the term of my employment with Company and thereafter,
Company may review, audit, intercept, access and disclose all messages created, received or sent
over the electronic mail and internet access, or disclosure may occur during or after working
hours. I further consent and agree that Company may, at any time, access and review the contents of
all computers, computers disks, other data storage equipment and devices, files, desks, drawers,
closets, cabinets and work stations which are either on Company’s premises or which are owned or
provided by Company.


7.0 INDEPENDENT FROM CLIENTS




     I agree that (i) I have no authority to act for or represent any client of Company in any way
except as expressly authorized by Employer; (ii) I am not and shall not be deemed to be an employee
or agent of any client of Company for any purpose (and I may not hold myself out as an agent of any
client of Company), including federal, state and local tax purposes, and (iii) I am not eligible to
participate in, and shall not be entitled to participate in, any pension, profit sharing or other
“employee benefit plan” of any client of Company, as such term is defined in section 3(3) of ERISA,
even if I am subsequently determined by any court, the Internal Revenue Service or any other
governmental agency to be a common law employee of that client.


8.0 AT WILL EMPLOYMENT




     In consideration for my agreements here, Company agrees to extend an offer of at-will
employment to me or to continue my at-will employment. My employment can be terminated with or
without cause by me or by Company at any time. Nothing contained in this Agreement will limit or
otherwise alter the foregoing, except that as additional consideration for entering



4









 







into this Agreement, Company agrees to provide ten (10) days’ pay in lieu of notice unless
such termination is for cause. If termination is for cause, no notice or pay in lieu of notice is
required. Further consideration for this Agreement is provided by Company’s disclosure of such
Confidential Information to me as is necessary for the performance of my duties.


9.0 INTERPRETATION OF AGREEMENT




     9.1 Continuation Obligations.



     Wherever this Agreement contemplates that I will have an obligation or restriction at or after
the term of my employment with Company, I agree that that obligation or restriction will exist
without regard to which party to the Agreement terminates the employment relationship, and without
regard for the reason (or lack thereof) for the termination of the employment relationship.



     9.2 Entire Agreement.



     Employer and I agree that this Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of
Company and me with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied,
written or oral, between Company and me.



     9.3 Severability.



     Company and I agree that if any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, will
for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be deemed
severable and the remainder of this Agreement will remain valid and fully enforceable.


10.0 ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT




     10.1 Breach Will Cause Irreparable Harm.



     I agree that if I engage in any activities prohibited by this Agreement or fail to take
actions required by this Agreement, irreparable harm to Company will likely result, for which a
remedy in the form of damages may not be adequate or otherwise ascertainable. Consequently, Company
will be entitled to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against me. This section
will not limit any other legal or equitable remedies that Company may have against me for
violations of these restrictions.



     10.2 Attorneys’ Fees.



     Company and I agree that, in any lawsuit for breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party
will be entitled to recover its/his/her reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including expert
witness fees, unless there is an express determination by the court that the nonprevailing party’s
position was substantially justified.

     11.1 Policies of Company Clients. I agree that I will promptly read any specific policy of a
Client of the Company (including any amendment or restatement of that policy), which is provided to
me in writing by the company. I will further promptly make certain that I understand the policy of
the Company client, including asking any questions I might have about the meaning or scope of the

     Employer and I agree that any term or provision of this Agreement may only be amended or
waived by a writing signed by an officer of Employer and by me. The failure of either party to
enforce any of the provisions in this Agreement will not be construed to be a waiver of the right
of that party to enforce such provision thereafter.

     I agree that this Agreement is not confidential, and that Company may, during the term of my
employment with Company and thereafter, provide copies of this Agreement to others, including

Schedule 5

Fees and Financial Terms




The Parties shall make the following payments set forth in this Schedule 5. All amounts are in U.S.
dollars.




	I.	 	FEES





     A. Fees for Gain Share Arrangement. With respect to each Quarter of the Term commencing July
1, 2006, Shire shall pay to Impax the amount set forth below (the “Gain Share Fees”) for each
prescription, as measured by IMS (“Prescription”), filled in the Territory for the Shire Product in
excess of XXXXX:



	 	 	 
	Time Period	 	Amount per Prescription Filled
	Each Quarter from July 1, 2006 through June
30, 2009

	 	$XXXXX
	 
	 	 
	Each Quarter from July 1, 2009 through June
30, 2011

	 	$XXXXX






In addition, in the event greater than an aggregate of XXXXX Prescriptions are filled in the
Territory for the Shire Product during the period from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, Shire
shall pay to Impax an additional one-time payment of $5 million (the “Year 3 Bonus”).



In the event Shire is unable to supply the Shire Product in (i) sufficient quantities such that
there is a commercially meaningful backorder in the Territory for the Shire Product for two
consecutive Quarters and (ii) an amount equal to the number of Prescriptions filled in the
Territory for the Shire Product for the two immediately preceding consecutive Quarters (the two
Quarters referenced in clause (i), the “Unsupplied Quarters”) during the period from July 1, 2006
through June 30, 2009, then Shire shall pay to Impax the Year 3 Bonus at such time as such payment
would otherwise have been due if and only if: (i) the number of Prescriptions filled in the
Territory for the Shire Product increased in the aggregate over the four Quarters immediately
preceding the Unsupplied Quarters, or any such quarters if there are less than four Quarters
preceding the Unsupplied Quarters, (the “Reference Quarters”), and (ii) taking the average
Quarter-to-Quarter percentage increase during the Reference Quarters and applying such percentage
increase to each Quarter commencing with the Unsupplied Quarters, the number of prescriptions
filled in the Territory for the Shire Product for the period from January 1, 2009 through June 30,
2009 is reasonably forecasted to be at least XXXXX. Payment of the FTE fees shall not be affected
by Shire’s inability to manufacture the Shire Product.



In the event of Unsupplied Quarters, the Parties shall meet to discuss the adjustment to the
calculation of the Gain Share Fees, including a reduction to the baseline, in order to provide
Impax with the same incentives in place during the period prior to the Unsupplied Quarters. If the
Parties are unable to agree to the adjustment, either Party shall have the right to take this issue
related to the adjustment to binding arbitration, consistent with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association, provided that it has given the other Party thirty (30) days’ advance
notice of its intention to take the issue to arbitration.



1









 





In the event a Generic Product is launched, or a Competing Product is launched by Shire, in the
Territory during the Services Term, the number of Prescriptions of such Generic Product and/or of
any Competing Product launched by Shire shall be considered Prescriptions for the Shire Product in
calculating the Gain Share Fees, provided, for clarity, that such calculation shall not include any
Prescriptions of any Authorized Generic Product distributed by Impax.



     B. FTE Fees. Shire shall pay to Impax an amount for each Sales Force member, up to a
maximum of sixty-six (66) Sales Force members (prorated for employment of a Sales Force member for
partial Service Years), at the rate of $200,000 per Services Year, plus a prorated amount for the
Extension Period, if any. Impax may in its sole discretion employ or retain Sales Force members in
excess of such maximum number, it being acknowledged and agreed, however that Shire shall have no
obligation to pay to Impax any amounts with respect to more than sixty-six (66) Sales Force
members.




	II.	 	AUTHORIZATION OF GENERIC





     
In the event a Generic Product is launched in the Territory during the Services Term, Shire
shall either (i) pay to Impax the Year 3 Bonus at such time as such payment would otherwise have
been due, or (ii) grant Impax the right to promote the Authorized Generic Product in the Territory
pursuant to the terms of a Supply Agreement to be entered into between the Parties and having such
terms as a mutually acceptable and commercially reasonable commensurate with those standard in the
industry for supply agreements under similar circumstances. Under such supply agreement the
authorized Generic Product shall be supplied by Shire to Impax for the unexpired term of the
Services Term. The purchase price for the authorized Generic Product shall be XXXXX. For purposes
of this Section II, “Authorized Generic Product” shall mean generically labeled Shire Product
approved for sale by the FDA pursuant to a labeling supplement to Shire’s NDA for the Shire
Product. Payment of the FTE fees shall not be affected by the launch of a Generic Product.



     
Shire’s ability to grant Impax the right to promote the Authorized Generic Product above shall
be conditioned on Shire’s ability to provide reasonably adequate quantities of such product for
launch at or prior to the Third Party launch of the Generic Product, and Impax’s acceptance of such
quantity as being reasonably adequate. If Impax does not accept the quantity as being reasonably
adequate, Shire shall pay to Impax the Year 3 Bonus at such time as such payment would otherwise
have been due.




	III.	 	SHORTFALL REIMBURSEMENTS





     
In the event Impax fails to perform at least XXXXX PDEs during any Quarter of any Services
Year (the number of the shortfall, the “Shortfall PDEs”) and fails to perform all of the Shortfall
PDEs by the expiration of the second Quarter following the Quarter in which the Shortfall PDEs
occurred, then Impax shall pay to Shire an amount equal to $XXXXX for each Shortfall PDE that
remains unperformed upon the expiration of such second Quarter; provided, that Impax may also apply
up to XXXXX PDEs from the immediately preceding Quarter in excess of XXXXX PDEs from such preceding
Quarter to reduce the Shortfall PDEs. For clarification purposes, a PDE can only be counted once
towards achieving the XXXXX PDEs required for any Quarter. In the event of any Shortfall PDEs with
respect to either of the final



2









 







two Quarters of the third and final Services Year, Impax shall have the right to perform
Services to reduce such Shortfall PDEs during the first two Quarters immediately following the
third Services Year; provided, that Shire shall have no obligation to make any payments to Impax
with respect to such Services other than as may be owed to Impax as FTE fees for any Extension
Period. Impax’s repayment of $XXXXX for each Shortfall
PDE shall be Shire’s sole remedy with respect
to each Shortfall PDE.

	 	 	 	“Adverse Event” means any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigator
subject administered the Shire Product and which does not necessarily have a causal
relationship with this treatment for which the Shire Product is used. An adverse event can
therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding),
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational)
product, whether or not related to the Shire Product. A pre-existing condition that worsened
in severity after administration of the Product would be considered an adverse event.
	 
	 	 	 	“Awareness Date” or “Clock Date” means the date on which a Party first becomes aware of an
Adverse Event or a Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction and, in relation to a third party
Representative of a Party, such as clinical research organizations or distributors, that
have contractual and/or regulatory obligations to report Adverse Events or a Suspected
Adverse Drug Reaction to that Party, the date on which such Third Parties




1









 






	 	 	 	first become aware of that Adverse Event or a Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction. For both
Parties this is considered day zero.






	 	 	 	“Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for
business.

Product that:






A. results in death;




B. is life threatening;




C. requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization;




D. results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; or




E. is a congenital anomaly or birth defect.




	 	 	 	Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting
for the Shire Product is appropriate in other situations, such as medically important events
that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may

collection scheme. It also does not include information compiled in support of class action
lawsuits.
	 
	 	 	 	“Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction” means a noxious and unintended response to any dose of the
Shire Product for which there is a reasonable possibility that the Shire Product caused the
response. In this definition, the phrase “a reasonable possibility” means that the
relationship cannot be ruled out.
	 
	 	 	 	“Term” means the term of this Agreement commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on the
date set out in Section 14 hereof.

this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the Schedules and the terms of
this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
	 
	 	1.4	 	Terms used in this Agreement, which are not otherwise defined within the Agreement or
the Promotional Agreement shall have the meaning given to them in accordance with FDA
Guidelines and
