AGREEMENT made this    day of            , 2002, retroactive to and effective as of the 10th day of
November, 2002, by and between EON
LABS INC., whose principal office is located at 227-15 North Conduit Avenue, Laurelton, New York 11413, hereinafter designated as the "EMPLOYER"; and DRUG, CHEMICAL, COSMETIC,
PLASTICS AND AFFILIATED INDUSTRIES WAREHOUSE EMPLOYEES LOCAL 815, AFFILIATED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS; whose office is located at 467 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey
07632; hereinafter designated as the "UNION".

IN
CONSIDERATION of the premises and of the mutual and reciprocal promises herein made and obligations herein assumed, as more fully hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE
IRECOGNITION: The Employer recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive collective bargaining agent for all employees, excluding executives,
non-producing supervisors, office and clerical employees, salesmen, graduate chemists, and the employee listed on Schedule "A", which schedule is attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Whenever the word "employees" is used in this Agreement, it shall refer to all such employees in the bargaining unit as defined above.

All
employees shall, as a condition of continued employment, become and remain members of the Union in good standing after they have completed thirty days of employment or thirty days
after execution of this Agreement, whichever is later; provided, however, that no employee shall be removed from his employ under this Paragraph so long as he continues to tender uniform dues and
initiation fees to the Union after such thirty-day period. Any employee who fails to maintain his membership to the extent of not paying uniform dues and initiation fees after such
thirty-day period, shall be discharged by the Employer within forty-eight hours after receipt of notice from the Union that such employee has not paid uniform dues and initiation fees.

There
shall be a trial period of thirty days for all new employees commencing with the first day of employment, and during such trial period the Employer may discharge such employee, and
such discharge shall be final and shall not be subject to arbitration as provided herein. Trial periods may be extended an additional 30 days by mutual agreement between the Employer, Employee,
and the Union in writing. The Union shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such a request.

ARTICLE
IIDISCHARGE FOR CAUSE: The Employer may discharge any employee at any time for just cause. In the event the employee is proven to have committed an act amounting to
dishonesty or criminal negligence or violates any section of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or other similar Federal, State or Local Health Laws, the Employer may summarily discharge such employee.

ARTICLE
IIISENIORITY: (A) Seniority shall consist of length of continuous service with the Employer from the date of employment as an employee within the bargaining
unit on a plant-wide basis, for the purpose of computing benefits of employment accruing to employees under this Agreement. Plant-wide seniority will be observed in layoffs,
reduction of working forces and recall, providing and depending upon the skill and ability of an employee to perform the necessary and required duties of work to be performed.



---



Selection
for the position shall continue to be based on the Employer's assessment of candidates' (both internal and external) overall suitability, including skill, ability, training,
and Employer needs. Seniority shall be considered where the Employer's assessment of suitability is that candidates are equally suited for the position. Employees who successfully bid upwards shall
receive a wage increase of $0.50 per hour. Such hourly increase shall be effective at the end of a thirty-day evaluation period and shall be retroactive to the first day in the new
position. There shall be no lateral bids.

ARTICLE
IVDUES CHECKOFF: The Employer shall deduct uniform membership dues and initiation fees from the employees' salaries, and make such deductions from the first full
week's payroll in each month and transmit all such funds deducted no later than the fifteenth day of each month. All funds deducted from the employees' salaries for the payment of such dues and
initiation fees shall be held in trust by the Employer and shall be considered at all times the property of the Union, provided, however, that prior to making such deductions the Employer has received
from each employee on whose account such deductions are made a written assignment, which shall not be irrevocable for a period of more than one year or beyond the termination date of this Agreement,
whichever occurs sooner, and which may contain a clause that such assignment shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of one year, unless the employee shall terminate such assignment in
writing within thirty days prior to any expiration date thereof.

ARTICLE
VALLIED HEALTH & WELFARE FUND: It is hereby agreed by and between the respective parties that, commencing with the week ending November 15, 2002 (being
a continuation of contributions previously made), the Employer shall pay to the Allied Welfare Fund the sum of Seventy-Five ($75.00) Dollars, and commencing with the week ending
November 14, 2003 the sum of Seventy-Seven ($77.00) Dollars, and commencing with the week ending November 12, 2004 the sum of Seventy-Nine ($79.00) dollars each and every
week for each employee who is employed within the bargaining unit, commencing with the first day of employment of such employee, regardless of whether such employee is a member of the Union and
regardless of the number of hours worked during the week. The Employer shall submit to the Fund a list of the employees for whom such payments are made. Vacations, holidays and sick leave with pay
shall be deemed time worked. The Employer's payroll records, social security records or other pertinent data shall be open for inspection and audit by the Fund upon demand. Such payments shall be made
directly to the Allied Welfare Fund and shall be held subject to the provisions of a trust indenture effective January 26, 1954 and any amendments, changes or additions thereto. The Fund shall
be managed and administered by a board of trustees equally representative of the employers and the Union. In the event the Employer and the Union trustees deadlock on the administration of the Fund,
they shall agree on an impartial umpire to decide such dispute; or in the event of their failure to agree within a reasonable length of time, an impartial umpire shall, on petition of either trustee,
be appointed by the District Court of the United States for the district where the Fund has its principal office. The trustees shall make provisions for an annual
audit of the Fund. A statement of the results shall be available for inspection by interested persons at the principal office of the Fund and at such other places as may be designated by the trustees.

Such
contributions shall be used for the purpose of providing insurance, welfare, major medical insurance and similar benefits for employees employed by the Employer, employees employed
by all other employers similarly situated, their families, and the payment of reasonable administrative expenses of the Fund; and shall, in addition, be used and disbursed by the trustees pursuant to
the

2

terms, conditions and provisions of the trust indenture or any amendments, changes or additions thereto; and the rules, regulations and resolutions adopted thereunder. Neither the Union, nor any
member of the Union individually or collectively; nor any International Union, nor any body with which the Union may be affiliated; nor any participating employer individually or collectively; nor any
combination thereof; nor any association, corporation, group, entity, person or trust; nor any successor or assign thereof, either directly or indirectly, shall have any right, title, interest or
claim in or to the Fund or any part thereof; nor to any accounting, supervision or control thereof, of whatsoever kind or nature. All monies, contributions, property, assets of the Fund and those
hereafter acquired; and the ownership control and the administration of the Fund shall irrevocably, inseparably and forever remain vested exclusively in the trustees of the Fund. No employee of any
participating employer; nor any employee of the Union; nor any person claiming by, through or under such employee, either directly or indirectly, shall have any right, title, interest or claim in or
to the Fund or to any part thereof; nor to any accounting, supervision or control thereof of whatsoever kind or nature; nor any claim against the Union, participating employers, or the trustees, or to
the contributions of his or her employer to the Fund or any assets or monies held by the Fund except such benefits as are provided for by the plan and/or by the rules and regulations from time to time
established and promulgated by the trustees in accordance with the powers granted by the trust indenture, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time. The discretion of the trustees as to
the administration, use and disbursement of the Fund shall be final and conclusive.

All
payments shall be due and payable on the first day of each month, for the preceding month. If the Employer fails to make a payment or payments required hereunder, on or before the
tenth day of the succeeding month, then the Trustees may require, and the Employer agrees to pay, interest on any unpaid balance at the applicable rate as permitted by law. In addition, the Employer
specifically agrees that it shall be liable for all auditing expenses, collection costs and legal fees incurred by the Union or by the Trustees of the Fund for the collection of such payments.

From
and out of the contributions made to the Allied Welfare Fund as specified above, Eight Dollars per employee per week shall be unconditionally and irrevocably allocated and paid to
the Union Mutual Medical Fund subject to the provisions of a trust indenture effective September 6, 1978 and any amendments, changes or additions thereto, for the benefit of retired employees
of the Employer and retired employees of all other employers similarly situated and their families who are receiving pension benefits from the Union Mutual Fund, and those employees of the Employer
and of all other employers similarly situated whose pension benefits from the Union Mutual Fund have been vested and who, in either case, are and remain members in good standing of the Union Mutual
Benefit Association. All sums contributed to the Union Mutual Medical Fund and the affairs of said Fund shall be managed and administered by a Board of Trustees equally representative of the employers
and the
participants. All of the foregoing conditions and provisions applicable to the Allied Welfare Fund shall be equally applicable to the Union Mutual Medical Fund.

ARTICLE
VIUNION MUTUAL FUND: It is hereby agreed by and between the respective parties that, commencing with the effective date of this Agreement (being a continuation of
contributions previously made), the Employer shall pay to the Union Mutual Fund the sum of Twenty-Four Dollars each and every week for each employee who is employed within the bargaining
unit commencing with the first day of employment of such employee, regardless of whether such employee is a member of the Union and regardless of the number of hours worked during the week; and the
Employer shall submit to the Fund a list of the employees for whom such payments are made. Vacations, holidays and sick leave with pay shall be deemed time worked. The Employer's payroll records,
social security records and other pertinent data shall be open for inspection and audit by the Fund upon demand. Such payments shall be made directly to the Union Mutual Fund and held subject to the
provisions of a trust indenture effective November 1, 1955 and any amendments, changes or additions thereto. The Fund shall be managed and administered by a board of trustees equally

representative of the employers and the Union. In the event the Employer and the Union trustees deadlock on the administration of the Fund, the two shall agree on an impartial umpire to decide such
dispute; or in the event of their failure to agree within a reasonable length of time, an impartial umpire shall, on petition of either trustee, be appointed by the District Court of the United States
for the district where the Fund has its principal office. The trustees shall make provisions for an annual audit of the Fund, a statement of the result of which shall be available for inspection by
interested persons at the principal office of the Fund and at such other places as may be designated by the trustees.

The
Fund shall be used for the purpose of providing pensions and/or annuities and similar benefits for employees employed by the Employer, employees employed by all other employers
similarly situated, the payment of reasonable administrative expenses of the Fund and shall, in addition, be used and disbursed by the trustees pursuant to the terms, conditions and provisions of the
trust indenture, or any amendments, changes or additions thereto; and the rules, regulations and resolutions adopted thereunder. Neither the Union, nor any member of the Union individually or
collectively; nor any International Union; nor any body with which the Union may be affiliated; nor any participating employer individually or collectively; nor any combination thereof; nor any
association, corporation, group, entity, person or trust; nor any successor or assign thereof either directly or indirectly, shall have any right, title, interest or claim in or to the Fund, or any
part thereof; nor to any accounting, supervision or control thereof of whatsoever kind or nature. It is understood and agreed that the Employer and all other employers similarly situated may have a
continuing financial obligation pursuant to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, in the event of termination or partial termination of the Fund. All monies,
contributions, property, assets of the Fund and those hereafter acquired; and the ownership, control and the administration of the Fund shall irrevocably, inseparably and forever remain vested
exclusively in the trustees of the Fund. No employee of any participating employer; nor any employee of the Union; nor any person claiming by, through or under such employee, either directly or
indirectly, shall have any right, title, interest or claim in or to the Fund or any part thereof; nor to any accounting, supervision or control thereof of whatsoever kind or nature; nor any claim
against the Union, participating employers or the trustees; nor to the contributions of his or her employer to the Fund; nor to any assets or monies held by the Fund except such benefits as are
provided by the plan and/or by the rules and regulations from time to time established and promulgated by the trustees in accordance with the powers granted by the trust
indenture, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time. The discretion of the trustees as to the administration, use and disbursement of the Trust Fund shall be final and conclusive.

All
payments shall be due and payable on the first day of each month, for the preceding month. If the Employer fails to make a payment or payments required hereunder, on or before the
tenth day of the succeeding month, then the Trustees may require, and the Employer agrees to pay, interest on any unpaid balance at the applicable rate as permitted by law. In addition, the Employer
specifically agrees that it shall be liable for all auditing expenses, collection costs and legal fees incurred by the Union or by the Trustees of the Fund for the collection of such payments.

ARTICLE
XIIVACATION: (A) It is hereby agreed by and between the respective parties that effective as of November 10, 2002, (being a continuation of
contributions previously made) the Employer shall contribute to the Vacation Fringe Benefit Fund the sum of Ten and Four-Tenths Per Cent (10.4%) of the Employer's total, gross,
straight-time payroll expense for each employee covered by the Agreement regardless of whether or not any such employee is a member of the Union and regardless of the number of hours
worked during the week. Such payments shall be made weekly for the last preceding payroll week. A list containing the names and straight-time, weekly earnings of each employee in the
bargaining unit shall accompany each such payment. The Employer's payroll records, social security records and other pertinent data shall be open for inspection and audit by the Fund upon demand. Such
payments shall be made directly to the Vacation Fringe Benefit Fund and shall be held subject to the provisions of a trust indenture dated February 17, 1971 and any amendments, changes or
additions thereto.

The
Fund shall be managed and administered by a board of trustees equally representative of the employers and the Union. In the event the Employer and the Union trustees deadlock on the
administration of the Fund, they shall agree on an impartial umpire to decide such dispute; or in the event of their failure to agree within a reasonable length of time, an impartial umpire shall, on
petition of either trustee, be appointed by the District Court of the United States for the district where the Fund has its principal office. The trustees shall make provisions for an annual audit of
the Fund. A statement of the results shall be available for inspection by interested persons at the principal office of the Fund and at such other places as may be designated by the trustees.

The
Fund shall be used for the purpose of providing annual and supplementary vacation benefits, jury duty reimbursement and for such approved similar and related purposes and benefits,
and for the payment of the reasonable administrative expenses of the Fund, as the trustees may determine. By executing this Agreement, the Employer hereby authorizes the Trustees of the Vacation
Fringe Benefit Fund, on its behalf, as its express agent, and in its name and stead, to remit to the appropriate Federal
taxing authorities, the Employer's share of any FICA taxes owed by the Employer as a result of vacation and/or fringe benefit payments made by the Fund to employees of the Employer, together with the
employee's share of any such taxes, and, where applicable to remit to the appropriate State taxing authorities the disability taxes owed as a result of such payments. Similarly, by executing this
Agreement, the Employer hereby authorizes the Trustees of the Fund on its behalf, as its express agent and in its name and stead, to issue to the appropriate governmental agencies and to its employees
receiving vacation and/or fringe benefit payments through the Fund, Federal, State and City earnings statements showing gross wages, FICA tax withheld, FICA wages, State income tax withheld and local
tax withheld as a result of such vacation and/or fringe benefit payments by the Fund. The Trustees of the Fund shall have no obligation to report wages earned by the Employer's employees, except such
wages as are transmitted to the Employer's employees by the Fund.

All
monies paid to the Fund shall be used and disbursed by the trustees pursuant to the terms, conditions and provisions of the trust indenture or any amendments, changes or additions
thereto; and the rules, regulations and resolutions adopted thereunder. Neither the Union, nor any member of the Union individually or collectively; nor any International Union; nor any body with
which the Union may be affiliated; nor any participating Employer individually or collectively, nor any combination thereof; nor any association, corporation, group, entity, person or trust; nor any
successor or assign thereof either directly or indirectly, shall have any right, title, interest or claim in or to the Fund or any part thereof, nor to any accounting, supervision or control thereof,
of whatsoever kind or nature.

All
monies, contributions, property, assets of the Fund and those hereafter acquired and the ownership, control and the administration of the Fund shall irrevocably, inseparably and
forever remain vested exclusively in the trustees of the Fund. No employee of any participating employer; nor any employee of the Union; nor any person claiming by, through or under such employee,
either directly or indirectly, shall have any right, title, interest or claim in or to the Fund or to any part thereof; nor to

9

---

any accounting, supervision or control thereof, of whatsoever kind or nature; nor any claim against the Union, participating employers or the trustees, or to the contributions of his or her Employer
to the Fund or any assets or monies held by the Fund except such benefits as are provided for by the Fund and/or by the rules and regulations from time to time established and promulgated by the
trustees in accordance with the powers granted by the trust indenture as the same may be amended or modified from time to time. The discretion of the trustees as to the administration, use and
disbursement of the Fund shall be final and conclusive.

All
payments shall be due and payable on the first day of each week, for the preceding week. The foregoing notwithstanding, however, if the Employer fails to make all payments required
hereunder, on or before the tenth day of the month for the preceding month, then the Trustees may require, and the Employer agrees to pay, interest on any unpaid balance at the applicable rate as
permitted by law. In addition, the Employer specifically agrees that it shall be liable for all auditing expenses, collection costs and legal fees incurred by the Union or by the Trustees of the Fund
for the collection of such payments.

Conditioned
upon the Employer's timely payment in full to the Fund of all of its obligations as specified herein, no further liability whatsoever shall attach hereunder to the Employer;
and no claim can, shall or may be made by any employee against the Employer based upon the terms hereof for any reason whatsoever.

| | Twenty or more years of employment                   |  | Five weeks (200 hours) 

In
determining eligibility for vacation leaves, all computations shall be based upon each employee's total length of employment with the Employer. No deductions shall be made from an
employee's accumulated service except for periods of nonemployment by the Employer. Such deductions shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the trust indenture, and/or resolutions adopted
by the trustees.

---

Full power and authority will be lodged in the trustees of the Vacation Fringe Benefit Fund to determine the extent of service credits to be allocated to each employee as well as the
rules and regulations pursuant to which employees will be paid for any earned vacation pay.

In
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Fund and at such intervals as they determine appropriate, the trustees of the Fund shall transmit to each employee on whose behalf
contributions have been made to such Fund, an amount equal to the sum of such employee's vacation leave entitlement multiplied by such employee's regular straight-time, hourly rate of pay
as of the date of such employee's vacation leave. This sum will be diminished by the amount of any vacation payments made by the Fund to such employee during the preceding vacation year (i.e. the
period from July 1 of the preceding year through June 30 of the current year).

Part-time
employees shall receive vacation leave and vacation pay on a pro rata basis.

Vacations
shall be taken during the months of July through September of each and every year. Vacation schedules shall be designed by the Employer at least thirty days prior to
July 1. Vacations shall be taken during the designated time only, except where permission is given in writing by the Company to be taken at some other time. The Employer shall have the right to
designate a two or three week period during which the plant shall close in order that all employees may take a common vacation.

Vacation
time in excess of two weeks need not be consecutive, unless permission is so granted by the Employer. The Company agrees to schedule the excess of vacation time before the
anniversary date of the contract, giving due consideration to production schedules and employees' wishes. The Employer shall have the right to direct the Vacation Fringe Benefit Fund to, and the Fund
shall, upon such direction, pay for the third, fourth and fifth week's vacation, in lieu of vacation time off, providing it is agreeable to the employee.

Employees
whose employment terminates prior to July 1 of any year, other than by virtue of a discharge for just cause, shall receive vacation pay on a pro-rata basis
dating from the prior vacation cutoff.

ARTICLE
XIIIBREAKS: Each full-time employee shall receive two ten minute paid rest periods during each work shift, approximately at the mid-point of
the first half of each shift and approximately at the mid-point of the second half of each shift at times to be designated by the Employer.

Part-time
employees who work in excess of four hours on any shift shall receive one ten minute paid rest period during each such shift.

ARTICLE
XIVMANAGEMENT RIGHTS: (A) The Union recognizes that management of the business of the Employer rests solely and exclusively with the Employer; and the
Employer shall have the exclusive control and supervision of its operations; and the Union agrees not to interfere with any of the Employer's rights and prerogatives.

XVIGRIEVANCE PROCEDURE: Should any dispute arise concerning the application, interpretation, effect, purpose or breach of any term or condition of this Agreement,
including any amendment or addendum to this Agreement, or in the event that there shall exist any claim, demand, dispute, or controversy between the parties hereto, the parties hereto shall first
attempt to settle and adjust such claim, demand, dispute, or controversy by negotiation. In the event that said matter shall not be completely settled and adjusted, the parties agree to submit the
question, including any damages that have been suffered, to arbitration in the following manner:

Step
1: A grievance by the Union shall be submitted to the Employer's designated representative within one (1) month of the occurrence of the event in issue or it shall be deemed
waived. If the Union and the Employer representatives cannot resolve the matter within two (2) weeks, it may be submitted to Step 2.

Step
2: A grievance not settled at Step 1 shall be submitted to arbitration within two (2) months of the occurrence of the event in issue or it shall be deemed waived. A demand
for arbitration shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") within the City of New York, with a copy to the other party, for designation of an arbitrator pursuant to the AAA
Labor Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator so designated shall serve as sole arbitrator of the dispute between the parties, and shall designate the time and place of the arbitration, provided that the
place of the arbitration shall be within the City of New York.

In
the event of the failure of either party to be present at the time and place designated for the arbitration, then the arbitrator shall have the right to listen to the party appearing
at the time and place for arbitration and shall have the power to render a decision based on the testimony before him. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon both parties
hereto and may be entered as a final decree or judgment in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Queens County. The cost of arbitration shall be borne equally by the Employer and the Union. It
is the intent of the parties that all disputes between them regarding this Agreement, including any amendment or addendum, shall be submitted to arbitration between them as provided herein, and that
no defense to prevent the holding of such arbitration shall be permitted. Service of any document or notice referred to herein, or service of any notice required by law in connection with arbitration
proceedings may be made by registered or certified mail.

ARTICLE
XVIIPAST PRACTICE: All good conditions, customs and privileges enjoyed by the employees prior to the execution of this Agreement, except as limited, changed or
abolished by the terms of this Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect without interruption or suspension as though they were actually enumerated herein.

ARTICLE
XVIIINO STRIKE OR LOCKOUT: (A) Since it is the intent of the parties of this Agreement that the procedures herein provided shall serve as a means for
peaceful settlement of all

12

differences, disputes, complaints and grievances that may arise between them, it is agreed that the Union shall not authorize nor encourage nor participate in any strike or work-stoppage
or slowdown, and the Employer agrees that there shall be no lockouts.



ARTICLE
XIXTEAMSTER 401(k): The Employer hereby agrees to participate in the Teamsters-National 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") on behalf of all employees represented for
purposes of collective bargaining under this Agreement.

The
Employer shall make or cause to be made payroll deductions from participating employees' wages, in accordance with each employee's salary deferral election, subject to compliance
with ERISA and the relevant tax code provisions. The Employer shall forward withheld sum to State Street Bank or its successor at such time, in such form and manner as required pursuant to the Plan
and Declaration of Trust (the "Trust").

The
Employer shall execute a Participation Agreement with Local Union No. 815 and the Trustees of the Plan evidencing employer participation in the Plan effective prior to any
employee deferral being received by the Plan.

In
addition, the Employer agrees to require the payroll system to provide separate paycheck deductions so that the Plan may allow participant loans.

ARTICLE
XXVOLUNTARY BONUS: Except as specified in Article XXIV, the payment by the Employer of Christmas or other bonuses is entirely voluntary and solely in the
discretion of the Employer, any such payment is not deemed part of the pay structure, and any such payment is not deemed a precedent.

ARTICLE
XXIINVENTORY: In the event the Employer decides to conduct its inventory on a regularly scheduled work day, no employee shall lose any pay as a result of the taking
of such inventory.

ARTICLE
XXIIWORK SHOES: Where work shoes or other special footwear are required, such footwear shall be supplied by the employee, who shall be reimbursed an amount up to the
average retail sale price for a standard pair of such footwear. In the event such footwear wears out or is damaged, such shall be replaced by the employee who shall be reimbursed by the Employer in
accordance with the formula referred to above, provided that the wear or damage has been shown to the Employer prior to replacement, and provided further that such damage is not due to the employee's
negligence.

ARTICLE
XXIIILAYOFF NOTICE: The Shop Steward, the Union and each initially affected employee will be notified five days in advance of any layoff due to lack of work, except
in the case of emergency which is beyond the control of the Employer.

ARTICLE
XXIVWAGE INCREASES: (A) Effective as of and retroactive to November 10, 2002, each employee on the Employer's payroll as of such date shall receive a

ARTICLE
XXVISICK TIME: All employees who have been employed for twelve months or longer as of the start of any contract year, shall be entitled to five (5) days of

employment, such employees shall be entitled to one additional day of paid sick leave. After ten months, but less than twelve months of employment, such employees shall be entitled to one additional
day of paid sick leave. After twelve months of employment, such employees shall be entitled to five (5) days of sick leave minus any days of sick leave utilized during the current contract

---

All
employees shall be reimbursed on the anniversary of this Agreement for all unused sick leave. Such employees shall receive one day's wages for each day of unused sick leave to be
paid at the rate of pay effective at the time said sick leave was unused.

Employees
shall not be required to provide a doctor's note or other substantiating evidence in order to be eligible to receive sick leave pay, provided however, that employees shall
telephone the Employer as early as practicable, but in no event later than one-half hour prior to the start of the employee's scheduled shift on the first day of any illness to advise the
Employer concerning the absence and its anticipated length. Failure to so notify the Employer may result in a disallowance of sick pay.

The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Employer may require a doctor's note in the event an employee claims more than three (3) consecutive days of paid sick leave. The Employer may
also require
employees absent for three (3) consecutive days or more as a result of illness to provide a certificate of fitness to return to work.

ARTICLE
XXVIICONTRACT EXPIRATION: On November 10, 2005, and at the expiration of each annual period thereafter, the Union shall have the right to reopen the contract
in order to renegotiate wages and other benefits for all employees. Should the parties fail to agree, the Union shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and may thereafter engage in a strike
or similar concerted work stoppage.

ARTICLE
XXVIIITERM OF AGREEMENT: This Agreement shall become effective as of November 10, 2002 and shall remain operative and binding upon the parties thereto, their
heirs, successors, assignees, administrators, and trustees in bankruptcy up to and including November 9, 2005, and shall automatically continue thereafter for annual periods, and may terminate
by one party giving the other at least sixty days' notice by registered mail prior to any expiration period of its intention to terminate this Agreement.

Eon
Labs, Inc.

Laurelton, NY 11413

Gentlemen:

This
is to confirm our understanding that your contributions to the Vacation Fringe Benefit Fund consist of two components. The first component (vacation component) is to be contributed in the amount
of Eight and Four Tenths Per Cent (8.4%) of your gross, straight-time payroll expense for bargaining-unit employees and is intended to cover the cost of vacation payments made
in accordance with the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, including disability taxes and the Employer's and employees' share of FICA taxes.

The
second component (fringe component) in the amount of Two Per Cent (2%) of your gross, straight-time, payroll expense for bargaining-unit employees is intended to cover the
cost of supplementary vacation benefits, jury duty reimbursement and other approved similar and related purposes and benefits, as the trustees may determine.

Your
vacation component contributions will be subject to an annual audit and review. In the event that your vacation component contributions, including disability taxes and the Employer's and
employees' share of FICA taxes, are less than the annual vacation payments made by the Fund in accordance with the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, you will be required to remit the
balance immediately.

Furthermore,
by signing this letter, you specifically agree to adjust your vacation component contribution rate, upon notification from the Union or the employer that such adjusted contribution rate
is necessary to avoid future deficits or surpluses. In the event that your vacation component contributions exceed the vacation payments made by the Fund in accordance with the terms of the collective
bargaining agreement, including disability taxes and the Employer's and employees' share of
FICA taxes, the balance will be refunded to you on or before January 30th of the succeeding calendar year.
