writing signed by them. The provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7 and 8, and the
covenants and warranties provided in Paragraph 10 will survive the expiration

continue to be given full force and effect, without regard to the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision in such jurisdiction or proceeding, and
will be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the
parties hereto as nearly as may be possible, and such holding will not affect
the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement in its entirety in
any other jurisdiction or proceeding. Furthermore, if any of the provisions of
this Agreement are held to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction or proceeding
because of their duration or scope, the parties agree that the court,
arbitration panel or other authority making such determination will have the
power, and is hereby directed, to reduce or alter the duration and/or scope of

not affect the validity, legality, enforceability or application of this
Agreement in its existing form and scope in any other jurisdiction or
proceeding. To the extent permitted by applicable law, KV and Consultant
hereby waive any provision of law that would render any provision hereof
prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

of any covenant, condition or limitation herein contained shall be valid
unless in writing and duly

executed by the party to be charged therewith, and no evidence of any waiver

arbitration or litigation between the parties hereto arising out of or
affecting this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the parties
hereunder, unless such waiver or modification is in writing, duly executed as
aforesaid, and the parties further agree that the provisions of this Paragraph
16 may not be waived except as herein set forth. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any failure by KV to exercise or otherwise act
with respect to any of its rights hereunder in the event of a breach of any of
the terms or conditions hereof by Consultant shall in no way be construed as a
waiver of such breach, nor prevent KV from thereafter enforcing strict
compliance with any and all of the terms and conditions hereof.

agrees that any violation, breach or evasion of any of the terms of this
Agreement by Consultant will result in immediate and irreparable injury to KV

Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party's
rights to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance of the same
provision and each and every other provision of this Agreement.

20. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the
laws of the State of Missouri, notwithstanding the application of any conflict

                          KV PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY
                      AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          THIS AMENDMENT ("Amendment") is entered into effective March 23,
                                                                 ---------
2008, between RONALD J. KANTERMAN ("Employee") and KV PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY,
----          -------------------
a Delaware corporation ("KV").

          WHEREAS KV and Employee have entered into that certain KV
Pharmaceutical Company Employment and Confidential Information Agreement dated
January 26, 2004 (the "Employment Agreement");

          WHEREAS KV and Employee desire to make certain changes and additions
to Employment Agreement as provided herein;

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Employee's employment or
continued employment by KV and other valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are acknowledged, KV and Employee agrees as follows:

          1.   Paragraph 2 of the Employment Agreement regarding "Nature of
Employment" is hereby amended to specify the position of Chief Financial
                                                         ---------------
Officer.
-------

          2.   Paragraph 3 of the Employment Agreement regarding "Compensation"
is hereby amended to specify a base salary of Three Hundred Thirty Thousand
                                              -----------------------------
Dollars ($330,000) effective March 23, 2008.
------------------

          3.   Paragraph 4 of the Employment Agreement regarding "Term" is
hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

               4. TERM. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first
     set forth above and continue until March 31, 2013, unless terminated
                                        --------------
     sooner in accordance with Paragraph 5 of this Agreement. If not
     terminated sooner under Paragraph 5 hereof, this Agreement shall
     automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods unless and
     until either party terminates this Agreement pursuant to the provisions
     of Paragraph 5. Termination of this Agreement by either party, for any
     reason, shall in no matter affect the covenants contained in Paragraphs
     6-11 of this Agreement.

          4.   Paragraph 5 of the Employment Agreement regarding "Termination"
is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

          5.   TERMINATION.

          (A) VOLUNTARY. Employee may terminate this Agreement at the end of
     the initial term for any reason, by notifying KV in writing three (3)
     calendar months prior to the end of the initial term. After completion of
     the initial term, Employee may terminate this Agreement by providing 120
     calendar days notice to KV. In either such events written notice shall be
     directed to KV's Vice President, Staffing. In the event of such voluntary
     termination at the end of the initial term, Employee agrees to remain on
     the job

                                    1 of 4

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     for the balance of the term and for three (3) additional months after the
     end of the initial term and at all times faithfully, industriously, and
     to the best of his ability, experience and talents, perform all of the
     duties that have been required of him prior to Employee's notice of
     termination, all to the reasonable satisfaction of KV.

          Employee agrees that he will remain actively at work, as described
     above and will continue to be compensated at his normal rate, during the
     entire six (6) month notice, unless he is released from all
     responsibilities prior to the end of the notice period, by the Chief
     Executive Officer of KV, in which case, his compensation shall be
     discontinued. Because of the nature of the position and the business,
     Employee agrees that if he should fail to fully comply with the notice
     required by this subsection, and if he should fail to fully comply with
     the requirement to remain on the job and faithfully and to the best of
     his ability perform all of his duties, KV will incur damages as a direct
     result and that the amount of said damages will be difficult to
     ascertain. Accordingly, specific performance will be required unless KV
     releases Employee from these obligations.

          In the event Employee terminates this Agreement upon 120 days
     calendar notice after completion of the initial term, KV, in its sole
     discretion, shall determine whether Employee shall continue to be
     employed during the notice period. If KV, in its sole discretion,
     determines Employee's services are not required during the notice, no
     salary continuation shall be provided during any part of the 120 day
     notice period not worked by Employee.

          If Employee decides to terminate his employment with KV, Employee
     shall disclose Employee's decision to terminate to the Vice President,
     Staffing of KV and shall not disclose such information to any other party
     (except for a subsequent employer of Employee who has agreed to keep such
     information confidential until KV has announced Employee's termination)
     until such time as the Vice President, Staffing of KV determines how and
     when to announce Employee's termination.

          (B) INVOLUNTARY. In the event of involuntary termination by KV,
     except termination for cause, KV shall provide Employee with severance
     pay of no less than one-half of the Employee's annual base salary, then
     in effect under Paragraph 3 of this Agreement, less usual withholdings.
     This severance package shall be paid in six (6) equal monthly
     installments, each payment to be made on the last day of each of the six
     (6) calendar months following the last day worked. In addition, KV shall
     provide Employee, at KV's expense, with medical, disability and life
     insurance coverage and all other insurance coverage of the same or
     similar types, and in the same or similar amounts as KV is providing to
     Employee immediately prior to the last day worked. This continuation of
     insurance coverage shall cease the earlier of six (6) months after the
     last date worked or at such time as Employee obtains other full-time,
     non-temporary employment which provides comparable coverage. In addition,
     as of the last date worked unless Employee is involuntarily terminated
     for cause, those stock options which are vested and exercisable by
     Employee shall remain exercisable until the earlier of six (6) months
     following the last date worked or at such time as Employee obtains other
     full-time, non-temporary employment.

                                    2 of 4

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

          In consideration of the severance pay provided under this paragraph,
     in the event of the cancellation, termination or expiration of the
     Employment Agreement for any reason, Employee agrees to provide
     reasonable and necessary services to assist KV in transition of
     responsibilities and ongoing continuity of his job function unless KV
     does not request such services.

          KV may terminate this Agreement for cause and in such event Employee
     shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits set forth in
     Paragraph 5(B). The term "for cause" as used herein shall mean (i)
     commission of a dishonest or criminal act in respect of Employee's
     employment or conviction of a felony, or (ii) breach of trust or gross
     negligence, or (iii) willful refusal to perform duties imposed by this
     Agreement which are legal and not improper, or (iv) Employee's violation
     of Paragraph 6, 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement, or (v) the continuing
     neglect or failure of Employee to perform the duties reasonably assigned
     to Employee by KV and after notice from KV of such neglect or failure,
     Employee's failure to cure such neglect or failure. Any termination of
     this agreement by KV shall be effective only upon providing Employee with
     written notice and advising Employee as to whether his termination is for
     cause.

          Employee acknowledges that the duties and obligations of Paragraphs
     7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 shall survive the termination of his employment.

          In the event Employee is involuntarily terminated by KV for reasons
     other than for cause, employee will receive the severance pay and
     benefits set forth in Paragraph 5(B) unless employee is determined by KV,
     in its sole discretion, to have engaged in conduct harmful to KV after
     his termination, in which case KV's obligation to provide the aforesaid
     severance pay and benefits shall cease. In addition, KV's decision to
     discontinue Employee's services following Employee's notice of voluntary
     termination under paragraph 5(A), above, shall not be considered an
     involuntary termination and shall not trigger any severance pay
     obligations.

     Any payments or benefits made or provided pursuant to this Agreement are
     subject to Executive's:

          (i) compliance with the provisions of the KV Pharmaceutical Company
     Employment and Confidential Information Agreement dated January 26, 2004;

          (ii) delivery to the Company of an executed full and complete
     Release, on a form then acceptable to the Company, with such terms as
     needed under then applicable law to give full effect to its intent and
     purpose; notwithstanding the due date of any post-employment payments,
     any amounts due under this Agreement shall not be due until after the
     expiration of any revocation period applicable to the Release; and

          (iii) delivery to the Company of a resignation from all offices,
     directorships and fiduciary positions with the Company, its affiliates
     and employee benefit plans.

                                    3 of 4

          6.   The following new Sections 22 and 23 are hereby added to the
end of the Employment Agreement:

     be in writing and shall be personally delivered or shall be mailed,
     Express, certified or registered mail, or sent by a generally recognized
     next business day courier, postage or other charges prepaid, as follows:

               To KV:
