                  (ii)              On or before the first day of the first
                           Calendar Quarter following the Effective Date and
                           then on or prior to the first day of each subsequent
                           Calendar Quarter, Buyer shall provide Wyeth with a
                           forecast of its expected purchases of Product for the
                           immediately following three (3) Calendar Quarters
                           (each a "Forecast"). The amounts forecasted for the

                           with respect to the minimum amount Buyer shall

                           immediately preceding Forecast) and may not be

                           In no event shall the amount forecasted for a
                           Calendar Quarter be more than 200% of the amount
                           forecasted for the immediately preceding Calendar
                           Quarter. The amounts forecast for each Current Two
                           (2) Calendar Quarters shall bind Buyer to order from
                           Wyeth, and Wyeth to sell to Buyer, at least such
                           amounts. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the
                           event Buyer wishes to purchase additional Product in

                           as far in advance as is practicable and Seller will
                           use commercially reasonable efforts to produce such
                           additional Product; it being understood that such
                           additional production shall not interfere with
                           Seller's production of other products and provided
                           further that in the event that Seller accepts an
                           additional order, Buyer shall be required to purchase
                           such additional Product.

                  (iii)             Unless mutually agreed upon by both parties,
                           orders shall be in full batch quantities.

                  (iv)              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                           herein, Wyeth shall use commercially reasonable
                           efforts to deliver to Buyer as soon as practicable
                           but in no case later than December 14, 2001,

                           with the terms hereof.

                  (v)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

         3.1      Dating, Samples, Testing and Records.

                  (a)      Wyeth shall obtain a representative sample (in
accordance with the requirements of the relevant Regulatory Approvals) from each
batch or lot of Product delivered to Buyer or its Affiliates hereunder. Wyeth
shall assay and analyze such samples in strict accordance with the Methods of
Analysis and shall promptly prepare a Certificate of Analysis and a Certificate
of Conformance. Such Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of Conformance
shall identify the batch or lot of Product to which it relates. Wyeth shall
provide Buyer with a copy of the Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of
Conformance. Wyeth shall not ship any Product hereunder which, as indicated by a
sample assay or analysis as set forth above, does not conform to the
Specifications. Wyeth shall make available upon Buyer's request all
documentation relative to the manufacture, packaging, testing, and release of a
batch or lot. No more than six (6) months with respect to Equagesic and four (4)
months with respect to Synalgos of the stated shelf life shall have expired upon
delivery of such Products to Buyer hereunder.

                  (b)      Buyer may analyze the Product using the Methods of
Analysis for purposes of determining whether such Product meets Specifications
and shall report any adverse findings to Wyeth within sixty (60) days after
discovery.

                  (c)      If the analysis or assay of a sample of the Product
performed by or for Buyer indicates that the batch or lot does not meet
Specifications and Wyeth's analysis or assay of its sample from the same batch
or lot indicates that such batch or lot does meet Specifications, a sample of
the Product shall be submitted by Buyer to a mutually agreed-to qualified
laboratory for testing to determine whether the Product conformed or did not
conform to the Specifications and the test results obtained by such laboratory
shall be final and binding upon both Parties. The fees and expenses of such
testing shall be borne by the Party ultimately determined to have incorrectly
judged whether such Product met the Specifications.

                  (d)      In the event the laboratory test results referred to
in Section 3.1(c) indicate that the Products in question failed to meet the
Specifications or in the event the Parties agree that the Products failed to
meet the Specifications or in the event that any Product fails to meet the
minimum dating requirements set forth in Section 3.1(a), Buyer shall return the
non-conforming Products to Wyeth, at Wyeth's expense, and in accordance with
Wyeth's instructions and Wyeth shall, at Buyer's option (i) give Buyer full
credit or a cash refund or (ii) furnish conforming replacement Products in
substitution of any Products which did not conform to Specification or to the
minimum dating requirements, as soon as reasonably possible (but in no event
later than 120 days) and at no additional cost to Buyer. Wyeth shall arrange for
shipment of the non-conforming and/or replacement Products, pay all delivery,
transportation, duties, insurance and other costs and shall be liable for any
losses of such replacement product with respect to such shipment during
delivery. All Product that does not conform to the Specifications or to the
minimum dating requirements shall be destroyed by Wyeth at Wyeth's sole cost and

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

expense in compliance with all applicable laws and Wyeth shall supply Buyer with
a certificate affirming that such destruction has been so performed.

                  (e)      Wyeth shall retain records and retention samples of
each batch of Products delivered hereunder for at least twelve (12) months after
the expiration date of each such batch (or such longer period as may be required
by any Regulatory Approval or Regulatory Authority) and shall make the same
available to Buyer upon written request. Retention samples shall only be
destroyed after the required holding period and then only after reasonable prior
written notice to Buyer.

         3.2      Recall and Seizure.

                  (b)      Each Party shall keep the other Party promptly and
fully informed of any notification or other information whether received
directly or indirectly which might affect the marketability, safety or
effectiveness of Products and/or which might result in the recall or seizure of
Products.

                  (c)      Within one (1) business day of a determination that a
Product withdrawal or a recall of Products may be necessary and prior to
notifying the FDA or any Regulatory Authority, Buyer shall notify Wyeth so that
Wyeth may participate in a decision whether the Products shall be withdrawn or
recalled, but Buyer shall make the final decision whether the Products are
withdrawn or recalled. Wyeth shall reasonably assist Buyer in Buyer's
investigation to determine the cause and extent of the problem.

                  (d)      If Wyeth independently believes that a recall or
Product withdrawal may be necessary or appropriate, Wyeth shall promptly notify
Buyer of Wyeth's belief and the Parties shall fully cooperate with each other
concerning the necessity and nature of such action, but it shall be Buyer's
ultimate decision and responsibility whether to recall the Products.

                  (e)      Wyeth shall perform any withdrawal or recall of
Products under its control, and Buyer shall perform any withdrawal or recall of
the Products under its control.

                  (f)      In the event of any "recall" or "seizure" arising out
of or resulting from Wyeth's breach of any provision of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, a batch or lot that does not meet
Specifications), Wyeth shall, at the election of Buyer, either:

                           (i)      supply Products, without charge to Buyer, in
                                    an amount sufficient to replace the amount
                                    of Products recalled or seized; or

                           (ii)     refund to Buyer, or give credit to Buyer
                                    against outstanding receivable due from
                                    Buyer or against the purchase price of
                                    Products to be delivered to Buyer in the
                                    future, in amounts equal to Wyeth's purchase
                                    price paid by Buyer for Products so recalled
                                    or seized and all transportation costs and
                                    export or import duties

                                    in respect of such recalled or seized
                                    Products.

                  (g)      In the event of any such recall or seizure arising
out of or resulting from Wyeth's breach of any provision of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, a batch or lot that does not meet
Specifications), Wyeth shall pay to Buyer, in addition to the amounts set out in
this Section 3.2, Buyer's out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with

                           with cGMP;

                  (iv)     Wyeth did not use in any capacity the services of any
                           person debarred under the U.S. Generic Drug
                           Enforcement Act, 21 USA ss.335a(k)(l) and further it

                           rendered to Buyer; and

                  (v)      the manufacture, importation, sale, offer for sale or
                           use of Products does not infringe any patent or other
                           proprietary or protected right.

any of its material obligations hereunder and shall fail to correct such default

remedy such default within said forty-five (45) days that is reasonably
acceptable to the aggrieved Party, the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to

default is corrected and may so terminate ten (10) days after such end of such
forty-five (45) day period if such default is continuing.

                  (a)      Upon reasonable prior notice given by Buyer in
writing to Wyeth, Wyeth shall permit Buyer or its designee (reasonably
acceptable to Wyeth) at least once per calendar year to inspect that portion of
the Manufacturing Facility where the Products are manufactured, tested or stored
to evaluate Wyeth's work practices, supporting systems, documents and records

                                      -10-

necessary for the purpose of assessing Wyeth's compliance with applicable laws
and cGMP and Buyer's quality standards; provided that Buyer or its designee
shall have the right to perform additional inspections, including any necessary
follow-up visits, to confirm pre-approval readiness before any regulatory
submission is made to FDA, the timing and frequency of such inspections shall be
mutually agreed to by the Parties. Such inspections shall be conducted during
ordinary business hours and shall not unreasonably interfere with Wyeth's normal
business operations. Such inspections shall take place in a timely manner and
shall be permitted to take place during manufacturing and testing of the
Products.

                  (b)      Wyeth shall, within three (3) days, notify Buyer of

including any FDA Form 483 Observations, Warning Letter (or equivalent) or
associated correspondence to and received from the FDA or any Regulatory
Authority within seven (7) days of receipt and in addition shall provide a

attend at the time of such inspection. Duplicate samples of Products given to
government agents shall be provided to Buyer, as well as duplicates of
photographs, if any, taken during the inspection. Wyeth shall allow Buyer to
assist in any response to the FDA including review of any written response made
to the FDA by Wyeth at Buyer's discretion.

                  (c)      Neither the inspection rights granted to Buyer
pursuant to this Section 6.1, nor any inspection performance by or on behalf of
Buyer, shall impose any liability on Buyer or relieve Wyeth from any liability
that it may have hereunder or otherwise with respect to the operation of its
facilities and/or the manufacture of the Products.

                  (d)      Subject to Section 6.1(e) hereof and the Asset
Purchase Agreement, all information disclosed to Buyer hereunder shall be

Buyer in connection with the transfer of the manufacture, finishing and
packaging of the Products to Buyer or a Third-Party as selected and qualified by
Buyer) or during the period of time beginning on the date this Agreement is
terminated (if not so requested by Buyer during the term of this Agreement) and
continuing for three months after the date this Agreement is terminated, Wyeth
shall provide Buyer with reasonable transitional services with respect to the
Product and/or the Know-how necessary to transfer the business of manufacturing,
finishing and packaging the Products to Buyer, including without limitation,
transferring to a Third-Party the manufacture, finishing and packaging of the
Products. Any Third-Party to whom the transfer of the manufacture, finishing and
packaging of the Products is made may use, for the purposes of manufacturing the
Products, all information disclosed to it or to Buyer under this Agreement.

                  (f)      Wyeth shall conduct its manufacturing operations
hereunder in a safe and prudent manner, in compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations (including, but not limited to, those dealing with occupational
safety and health, those dealing with public safety and health, those dealing
with protecting the environment, and those dealing with disposal of wastes), and
in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement. Wyeth shall
obtain all necessary registrations and permits pertaining to activities
contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent necessary for the registration or
licensing of Products by Buyer, Wyeth shall permit the inspection of its
premises by FDA.

         6.2      Changes to Specifications, Methods of Analysis and/or
                  Manufacturing Process.

                  (a)      In the event Wyeth or Buyer wishes to change the
Specifications or Methods of Analysis, or in the event Wyeth or Buyer is
required to change the Specifications or Methods of Analysis pursuant to
applicable laws or in response to the order or request of the Regulatory
Authority the following provisions shall apply:

                           (i)      The requesting Party shall promptly advise
                                    the other Party in writing of any such
                                    change(s) to the Specifications or Methods
                                    of Analysis and Wyeth shall promptly advise
                                    Buyer as to any scheduling adjustments that
                                    may result from such change(s), if any.

                           (ii)     Wyeth shall cooperate with Buyer in good
                                    faith to implement all changes to the
                                    Specifications or Methods of Analysis as
                                    soon as practicable after notice thereof.

                  (b)      Wyeth shall not change the process for manufacturing,
or the source of raw materials for, the Products without the prior written
consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The qualification costs of such changes (including without limitation changes in
the source of raw materials), initiated by Wyeth, shall be borne by Wyeth.

                  (c)      Wyeth shall not change any vendor or contract
supplier of raw materials or primary packaging components used in the
manufacture of the Products without the prior written consent of Buyer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         6.3      Pharmaceutical Quality Agreement. On the Effective Date, the
Parties shall execute and deliver to each other the Pharmaceutical Quality
Agreement.

         6.4      Adverse Drug Experience Reporting. Each Party agrees to

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         7.1      Notice and Assistance. Each Party shall promptly notify the
other, in writing, if it learns of any litigation, claim, administrative or
criminal proceedings (collectively "Actions"), asserted or threatened against
such Party (the "Aggrieved Party") for which such Party is entitled to
indemnification hereunder from the other Party. With respect to any such Action,
the other Party shall, at no out-of-pocket expense to it except as otherwise
provided in this Article 7, reasonably cooperate with and provide such
reasonable assistance to such Aggrieved Party as such Aggrieved Party may
reasonably request. Such reasonable assistance may include, without limitation,
providing copies of all relevant correspondence and other materials that the
Aggrieved Party may reasonably request; provided, however, that any Confidential
Information so provided shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of
Article 8 hereof.

         7.2      Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Wyeth and its Affiliates and each of its and their respective
employees, officers, directors, agents, controlling persons and successors and
assigns (each, a "Wyeth Indemnified Party") from and against any and all
liability, loss, damage, cost, and expense (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) (collectively, a "Liability") which the Wyeth Indemnified Party may incur,
suffer or be required to pay resulting from or arising in connection with
promotion, distribution, marketing or sale of the Products by Buyer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation under this
Agreement to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Wyeth Indemnified Party with
respect to any Liability covered by Section 7.3 or which results from willful
misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Wyeth, its Affiliates, its
sublicensees, or any of their respective employees, officers, directors, agents,
controlling persons or successors and assigns.

         7.3      Indemnification by Wyeth. Wyeth shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective
employees, officers, directors agents, controlling persons and successors and
assigns (each, a "Buyer Indemnified Party") from and against any Liability which
the Buyer Indemnified Party may incur, suffer or be required to pay resulting
from or arising in connection with (i) the breach by Wyeth of any representation
or warranty, or the failure by Wyeth to perform any covenant, contained in this
Agreement; or (ii) the manufacture of Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Wyeth shall have no obligation under this Agreement to indemnify, defend, or
hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Liability which
results from willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Buyer, its
Affiliates or any of their respective employees, officers, directors, agents
controlling persons or successors and assigns.

         7.4      Conditions to Indemnification. The obligations of the
indemnifying Party under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 are conditioned upon the delivery
of written notice to the indemnifying Party of any potential Liability promptly
after the indemnified Party becomes aware of such potential Liability; provided,
that the failure of the Aggrieved Party to give such notice or any delay thereof
shall not affect the Aggrieved Party's right to indemnification hereunder,
except to

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

the extent that such failure or delay impairs the indemnifying Party's ability
to defend or contest any such Liability. The indemnifying Party shall have the
right to assume the defense of any suit or claim related to the Liability. If
the indemnifying Party defends the suit or claim, the indemnified Party may
participate in (but not control) the defense thereof at its sole cost and
expense. If the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of any such suit
or claim related to the Liability, the Aggrieved Party may defend against such
suit or claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and, unless the
Indemnifying Party shall deposit with the Aggrieved Party a sum equivalent to
the total amount demanded in such suit or claim or shall deliver to the
Aggrieved Party a surety bond in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Aggrieved Party in such amount, the Aggrieved Party may settle such suit or
claim on such terms as it may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party shall
promptly reimburse the Aggrieved Party for the amount of all Liabilities
incurred by the Aggrieved Party in connection with the defense against or
settlement of such suit or claim. If no settlement of such suit or claim is
made, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Aggrieved Party for
the amount of any Liabilities incurred by the Aggrieved Party in the defense
against such suit or claim.

         7.5      Settlements. Neither Party may settle a claim or action
related to a Liability, without the written consent of the other Party, if such
settlement would impose any monetary obligation on the other Party or require
the other Party to submit to an injunction or otherwise limit the other Party's
rights under this Agreement or otherwise. Except as otherwise expressly set
forth in this Article 7, any payment made by a Party to settle any such claim or
action shall be at its own cost and expense.

         7.6      Limitation of Liability. (a) With respect to any claim by one
Party against the other Party arising out of the performance or failure of
performance of the other Party under this Agreement, the Parties expressly agree
that the liability of such Party to the other Party for such breach shall be
limited under this Agreement or otherwise at law or equity to direct damages
only and in no event shall a Party be liable for punitive, exemplary or
consequential damages; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply
with respect to the obligations of either Party to indemnify the other under
Sections 7.2 or 7.3 hereof in connection with a Liability to a Third Party.

         8.1      Nondisclosure Obligation. Both Buyer and Wyeth shall use only
in accordance with this Agreement and shall not disclose to any Third Party any
Confidential Information received by it from the other Party pursuant to this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party. The foregoing
obligations shall survive for a period of five (5) years after the termination
or expiration of this Agreement. These obligations shall not apply to
Confidential Information that:

                  (i)      is known by the receiving Party at the time of its
                           receipt, and not through a prior disclosure by the
                           disclosing Party, as documented by business records;

                  (ii)     is at the time of disclosure or thereafter becomes
                           published or otherwise part of the public domain
                           without breach of this Agreement by the receiving
                           Party;

                  (iii)    is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party by a
                           Third Party who to the knowledge of the receiving
                           party has the right to make such disclosure;

                  (iv)     is developed by the receiving Party independently of
                           the Confidential Information received from the
                           disclosing Party and such independent development can
                           be documented by the receiving Party; or

                  (v)      is required by law, regulation, rule, act or order of
                           any governmental authority or agency to be disclosed
                           by a Party, provided that notice is promptly
                           delivered to the other Party in order to provide an
                           opportunity, if practicable, to seek a protective
                           order or other similar order with respect to such
                           Confidential Information and thereafter the
                           disclosing Party discloses to the requesting entity
                           only the minimum Confidential Information required to
                           be disclosed in order to comply with the request,
                           whether or not a protective order or other similar
                           order is obtained by the other Party.

         8.2      Permitted Disclosures. Confidential Information may be
disclosed to employees, agents, consultants, sublicensees or suppliers of the
recipient Party or its Affiliates, but only to the extent required to accomplish
the purposes of this Agreement and only if the recipient Party obtains prior
agreement from its employees, agents, consultants, sublicensees, suppliers or
Third Party manufacturers to whom disclosure is to be made to hold in confidence
and not make use of such Confidential Information for any purpose other than
those permitted by this Agreement. Each Party will use a reasonable standard of
care to ensure that such employees, agents, consultants, sublicensees, suppliers
or Third Party manufacturers do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the
Confidential Information.

         8.3      Disclosure of Agreement. Neither Buyer nor Wyeth shall release
to any Third Party or publish in any way any non-public information with respect
to the terms of this Agreement or concerning their cooperation without the prior
written consent of the other, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, provided, however, that either Party may

disclose the terms of this Agreement to the extent required to comply with
applicable laws, including, without limitation the rules and regulations
promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"),
provided, however, that prior to making any such disclosure, the Party intending
to so disclose the terms of this Agreement shall (i) provide the nondisclosing
Party with written notice of the proposed disclosure and a opportunity to review
and comment on the intended disclosure which is reasonable under the
circumstances and (ii) shall seek confidential treatment for as much of the
disclosure as is reasonable under the circumstances, including, without
limitation, seeking confidential treatment of any information as may be
requested by the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wyeth acknowledges
and agrees that Buyer may publicly file a copy of this Agreement, the Asset
Purchase Agreement and each other agreement related to the transactions
contemplated thereby as an exhibit to its reports with the SEC if Buyer
determines such filing to be necessary, provided that Buyer shall take, in
consultation with Wyeth, all reasonable and lawful actions to obtain
confidential treatment with respect to the provisions of this Agreement, the
Asset Purchase Agreement and each other agreement related to the transactions
contemplated thereby reasonably deemed to be competitively sensitive or
confidential information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement (i) to one or more Third
Parties and/or their advisors in connection with a proposed spin-off, joint
venture, divestiture, merger or other similar transaction involving all, or
substantially all, of the assets or business of the disclosing Party to which
this Agreement relates or (ii) to lenders, investment bankers and other
financial institutions of its choice solely for purposes of financing the
business operations of such Party, either (a) upon the written consent of the
other Party or (b) if the disclosing Party obtains a signed confidentiality
agreement with such Third Parties with respect to such information on terms no
less restrictive than those contained in this Article 8.

         8.4      Publicity. Subject to Section 8.3, all publicity, press
releases and other announcements relating to this Agreement or the transactions

         9.1      Force Majeure. If the production, delivery, acceptance, or use
of Products specified for delivery under this Agreement, or the performance of
any other obligation of one of the Parties hereunder is prevented, restricted or

declared or not), acts of God, invasion, fire, explosions, floods, storms, delay
of carrier, and acts of government or governmental agencies or
instrumentalities, and without the fault or negligence of such Party, the Party
so affected, upon prompt notice to the other Party, shall be excused from
performing such obligation during the continuance of such contingency. If such

that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement
and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof. In
interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
Parties agree that no presumption shall exist or be implied against the Party

         9.3      Assignment.

                  9.3.1    Assignment by Wyeth. Wyeth may assign this Agreement
                           to any of its Affiliates, for so long as they remain
                           Affiliates, provided, however, that such assignment
                           shall not relieve Wyeth of its responsibilities for
                           performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
                           In addition, Wyeth may assign this Agreement in
                           conjunction with a merger or acquisition of Wyeth to
                           the successor to or transferee of all or
                           substantially all of its assets, provided, that such
                           successor or transferee expressly assumes Wyeth's
                           obligations under this Agreement, the Asset Purchase
                           Agreement and the Pharmaceutical Quality Agreement in
                           a writing delivered to Buyer. Wyeth may not otherwise
                           assign this Agreement without Buyer's prior written
                           consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Buyer shall
                           respond in writing to such written requests by Wyeth
                           for assignment within thirty (30) days from such
                           request.

                  9.3.2    Assignment by Buyer. Buyer shall not assign this
                           Agreement to any Third Party other than to an
                           Affiliate (provided that Buyer shall remain
                           responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its
                           Affiliate) or to an assignee of all of the goodwill
                           and entire business or assets of Buyer, without the
                           prior written consent of Wyeth, which consent will
                           not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  9.3.3    Binding Nature of Assignment. This Agreement shall be
                           binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
                           successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any
                           assignment not in accordance with this Section 9.3
                           shall be void.

         9.4      No Waiver. The failure of either Party to require performance
by the other Party of any of that other Party's obligations hereunder shall in
no manner affect the right of such Party to enforce the same at a later time. No
waiver by any Party hereto of any condition, or of the breach of any provision,
term, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct
or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed
as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, or of any
other condition or of the breach of any other provision, term, representation or
warranty hereof.

         9.5      Severability. If a court or other tribunal of competent
jurisdiction should hold any term or provision of this Agreement to be
excessive, or invalid, void or unenforceable, the offending term or provision
shall be deleted or revised to the extent necessary to be enforceable,

                                      -17-

and, if possible, replaced by a term or provision which, so far as practicable
achieves the legitimate aims of the Parties.

         9.6      Relationship between the Parties. Both Parties are independent
contractors under this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between
the Parties hereto or any of their agents or employees, or any other legal
arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to
act of the other Party. Neither Party shall have any express or implied power to
enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name
of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect
whatsoever.

                 ADVERSE DRUG EXPERIENCE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
                 ----------------------------------------------

This is to advise Wyeth and Buyer (separately, a "Party" and collectively, the
"Parties") of the data exchange between themselves regarding adverse drug
experiences related to the use of Drug Products which will be marketed in
accordance with this agreement. The Parties seek to ensure that in the worldwide
marketing of pharmaceutical products they adhere to the highest ethical
standards and act in conformity with the laws under which they operate. This in
turn assures the Parties' licensees, distributors and customers of the quality
of their products.

It is a requirement of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") that the
Parties record, investigate, summarize and review all adverse drug experiences
associated with the Products. The Parties agree to adhere to requirements of
local laws, which relate to the reporting and investigation of adverse drug
experiences. To achieve the goal of accurate and timely reporting, the Parties
wish to systematize their processes.

Therefore, the Parties are required to exchange information in accordance with
the guidelines set forth in this Exhibit C.
