Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement:


 



	
  

	
A.

	
Prior Development Work and Costs.  Within 30 days of the execution of this First Amendment by both Parties, Par shall pay to IPC the sum of exactly Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.  The Parties hereby stipulate and agree that, subject to receipt of such payment, such payment shall be in full and final satisfaction of Par’s payment obligations, costs and expenses as contemplated by Sections 2 and 6.4 of the Agreement in respect of the 30 mg strength and IPC shall have no right or claim against Par for reimbursement of costs for any work or expense undertaken by IPC in respect of the development of the 30 mg strength of the Product.  The Parties also stipulate and agree that Par has previously fulfilled its payment obligations to IPC under Sections 2 and 6.4 of the Agreement in full and final satisfaction thereof in respect of the development of the 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg strengths of the Product by IPC, and IPC has no right or claim against Par for reimbursement of costs for any work or expense undertaken by IPC in respect of the development of the 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg strengths of the Product.







 



	
  

	
B.

	
Site Transfer.  The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to complete the transfer of all methods, records, formulae, protocols, techniques, procedures, information, equipment, know-how, and the like (the “Technology”), solely insofar as necessary and required for 







 




 





2











 




Par to manufacture commercial quantities of the Product at Par’s designated manufacturing site at the earliest possible date (the “Site Transfer”). IPC furthermore hereby provides a license during the Term to the Technology solely and exclusively for the Site Transfer and use in the manufacturing of commercial quantities of the Product at Par’s designated manufacturing site. Each Party shall provide to the other Party such information and documentation as reasonably requested and as reasonably available in connection with carrying out the Site Transfer. IPC shall make qualified IPC personnel who are knowledgeable of the Technology reasonably available as needed from time to time at the designated Par site, to the extent necessary to allow and qualify such site to manufacture the Product. Nothing in this Section or this First Amendment constitutes expressly or by implication a grant of IPC proprietary technology or Intellectual Property from IPC to Par beyond the scope of the express license grant herein provided, and the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Agreement continue to apply in respect of the Technology and the Site Transfer. All out-of-pocket (third-party) costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in effecting the Site Transfer, including for greater certainty all on-going third-party costs of storage in Canada of manufactured Product required in association with the IPC ANDA and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of on-site follow-up attendances by IPC, if any, shall be borne by Par; provided, that Par is apprised reasonably in advance and consents to such costs of IPC before they are incurred. Any regulatory submissions required for the Site Transfer shall be conducted pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement.


 





	
  

	
C.

	
Development of 40 mg Strength of the Product.  The Parties hereby agree that IPC shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop the 40 mg strength of the Product, at its own expense except as specifically set forth below, to be filed, with a request for a waiver of further bio-equivalence studies, as an amendment or supplement to the IPC ANDA.  If the FDA requires further bio-equivalence studies for the 40 mg strength, IPC may, in its sole discretion, cease developing the 40 mg strength or continue developing the 40 mg strength at its sole cost and expense.  The Parties hereby agree that Par may elect to develop a 40 mg strength of the Product under the Par ANDA and at its own expense.  IPC will, at Par’s request and at IPC’s expense (except as provided below), consult with and advise Par, and cooperate with the filing of an amendment or supplement to IPC’s ANDA, relating to the technology transfer to Par of a 40 mg strength of the Product developed by IPC, but Par will bear the costs of manufacturing, packaging, labeling, required biostudies and litigation necessary for such technology transfer to Par of the 40 mg strength of the Product (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not related to IPC’s other development costs for the 40 mg strength of the Product).  In such event, the Site Transfer and the license granted under Article IV(B) hereof shall be deemed to extend to the Technology covering such 40 mg strength of the Product.  Any regulatory submissions required for Regulatory Approval of the 40 mg strength of the Product under the IPC ANDA shall be conducted pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement.







 



	
  

	
D.

	
Development of 25 mg and 35 mg Strengths of the Product.  The Parties hereby agree that each of Par and IPC may, each in its sole discretion and at its own expense, develop the 25 mg and/or 35 mg strength(s) of the Product.  If and when so developed, the Parties agree that any filings made with the FDA in respect of applications for approval to commercialize such strengths, or any other strengths as may be introduced into the 







 




 





3











 




Territory by the owner of the Brand Product, shall be made as amendments to the IPC ANDA or to the Par ANDA, as the case may be, and not as new ANDAs.


 





	
Article V.

	
Certain Stipulation and Waiver as to Section 4.1 of the Agreement.







 


With reference to Section 4.1 of the Agreement, the Parties hereby stipulate and agree that:


 



	
  

	
A.

	
IPC has, prior to the date hereof, undertaken development of the 30 mg strength of the Product with Par’s knowledge and consent, and Par does not now and will not in the future object to or take issue with such prior development of the 30 mg strength by IPC; and







 



	
  

	
B.

	
Par has, prior to the date hereof, undertaken a parallel development of a Generic of the Brand Product in the 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 mg strengths, using Intellectual Property other than IPC Intellectual Property, with IPC’s knowledge and consent, and has filed the Par ANDA in respect thereof, and IPC does not now and will not in the future object to or take issue with such prior or further development by Par.







 



	
Article VI.

	
Amendment and Restatement of Section 6.2







 


Section 6.2 is hereby amended and restated, such that the current provision is deleted and the following is substituted in its place as of the date hereof.


 



	
  

	
6.2

	
Net Profits.  The Parties agree that Par shall share with IPC the Net Profits of commercialization for any Generic of the Brand Product (whether under the IPC ANDA or Par ANDA) or Authorized Generic Product sold by or on behalf of Par or a Par Affiliate in the Territory as set forth below:







 



	
  

	
6.2.1

	
In the event that such product is the only Generic of the Brand Product or Authorized Generic Product in that strength commercially sold in the Territory (i.e., there is no Generic of the Brand Product or Authorized Generic Product in that strength commercially sold in the Territory other than that sold by or on behalf of Par or a Par Affiliate pursuant to the Agreement) for a period of at least seven (7) days commencing on Commercial Launch of that strength, Net Profits for that strength shall be split [*] percent ([*] %) to Par and [*] percent ([*] %) to IPC for so long as such strength is the only Generic of the Brand Product or Authorized Generic Product in that strength commercially sold in the Terrotory, and shall be payable on a quarterly basis and within thirty (30) days of the end of each applicable calendar quarter.  For the avoidance of doubt, once Section 6.2.2 becomes applicable to such strength, the Net Profit split shall be in accordance with Section 6.2.2, and this Section 6.2.1 shall no longer be applicable to such strength.







 



	
  

	
6.2.2

	
In the event and from the time that such product is not the only Generic of the Brand Product or Authorized Generic Product in that strength commercially sold in the Territory (i.e., there is at least one other Generic of the Brand Product or Authorized Generic Product in that strength

commercially sold in the Territory other than that sold by or on behalf of Par or a Par Affiliate pursuant to the Agreement), Net Profits of that strength shall be split [*] percent ([*] %) to Par and [*] percent ([*] %) to IPC, and shall be payable on a quarterly basis and within thirty (30) days of the end of each applicable calendar quarter.


 





	
Article VII.

	
Amendment and Restatement of Section 6.5 of the Agreement







 


Section 6.5 is hereby amended and restated, such that the current provision is deleted and the following is substituted in its place as of the date hereof:


 



	
  

	
6.5

	
Exclusivity Milestone Payments.  In addition to the milestone payments in Section 6.4 above, Par shall make the following milestone payments to IPC, in respect of the 5, 10, 15 and 20mg strengths only, on a strength-by-strength, one time per strength basis, in the event Par makes a Commercial Launch with a Generic of the Brand Product (whether under the IPC ANDA or Par ANDA) or Authorized Generic Product in any such strength:







 



	
  

	
6.5.1

	
In the event that such product is the only Generic of the Brand Product or Authorized Generic Product in that strength commercially sold in the Territory (i.e., there is no Generic of the Brand Product or Authorized Generic Product in that strength commercially sold in the Territory other than that sold by or on behalf of Par or a Par Affiliate pursuant to the Agreement) for a number of days (N1) up to one hundred and eighty (180) days during the period commencing on the Commercial Launch of that strength and terminating one hundred and eighty (180) days later, then Par will pay to IPC the fraction of [*] Dollars ($[*]) that N1 is to 180.  Such payment shall be due upon the later of (i) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Commercial Launch of that strength, or (ii) a non-appealable decision from an appellate court ruling or a district court ruling from which an appeal can no longer be sought of non-infringement or invalidity in favor of Par in a patent litigation regarding that strength of the Product between IPC and/or Par and the owner and/or marketer of the Brand Product.







 



	
  

	
6.5.2

	
In the event that there is no more than a single third party competitor to such product in the Territory (i.e., there is no more than a single Generic of the Brand Product or Authorized Generic Product in that strength commercially sold in the Territory by a third party other than that sold by or on behalf of Par or a Par Affiliate pursuant to the Agreement) for a number of days (N2) up to one hundred and eighty (180) days during the period commencing on the Commercial Launch of that strength and terminating one hundred and eighty (180) days later, then Par will pay to IPC the fraction of [*] Dollars ($[*]) that N2 is to 180.  Such payment shall be due upon the later of (i) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Commercial Launch of that strength, or (ii) a non-appealable decision from an appellate court ruling or a district court ruling from

which an appeal can no longer be sought of non-infringement or invalidity in favor of Par in a patent litigation regarding that strength of the Product between IPC and/or Par and the owner and/or marketer of the Brand Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the payments contemplated herein at subsections 6.5.1 and 6.5.2 are cumulative on a strength-by-strength basis, provided that the sum of N1+N2 for any one strength shall not exceed 180 days commencing from the Commercial Launch of that strength.


 





	
Article VIII.

	
No Other Modifications.







 


Except as specifically provided in this First Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.  No provision of this First Amendment may be modified or amended except expressly in a writing signed by both Parties, nor shall any terms be waived except expressly in a writing signed by the Party charged therewith.
