	RE:	Consent re: Restatement of Financials

Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit
Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”),
by and among Akorn, Inc., as the Borrower (the “Borrower”), the other Loan Parties party thereto, the Lenders
party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative
agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

The Borrower previously informed the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders that it would restate its previously issued financial statements for the annual period ended December 31,
2014 and the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 (such financial statements, together
with the related deliveries required pursuant to Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b) and 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement,
are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified 2014 Financials”). As a result of such pending restatements
(collectively, the “Restatements”), the Borrower also previously informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
that it (a) needed an extension under the Credit Agreement in order to furnish its financial statements (and related deliveries)
for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015 (such financial statements and related deliveries, the “2015 Q1 Financials”),
the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 (such financial statements and related deliveries, the “2015 Q2 Financials”)
and the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015 (such financial statements and related deliveries, the “2015 Q3 Financials”),
in each case, as currently required by Sections 5.01(b) and 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, (b) would not file with
the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (and related deliveries) for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015 (such financial
statements and related deliveries, the “2015 Q1 10-Q”) on or before the applicable deadline established by the
SEC with respect to such periodic report of the Borrower and (c) may not file with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (and
related deliveries) for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 (such financial statements and related deliveries, the “2015
Q2 10-Q”) and the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015 (such financial statements and related deliveries, the “2015
Q3 10-Q” and, together with the 2015 Q1 10-Q and the 2015 Q2 10-Q, the “2015 10-Qs”), in each case,
on or before the applicable deadline established by the SEC with respect to such periodic reports of the Borrower.

 

Pursuant to that certain Consent Memorandum,
dated May 19, 2015 (the “Existing Consent Memorandum”), by and among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
party thereto, and acknowledged and agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party thereto consented
and agreed that, inter alia, certain specified Defaults or Events of Defaults that may have occurred and be continuing or
may occur as a result of the foregoing were waived, so long as the Specified 2014 Financials, the 2015 Q1 Financials, the 2015
Q2 Financials, the 2015 Q3 Financials, internally prepared drafts of the 2015 Q1 Financials and internally prepared drafts of the

The Borrower has now informed the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders that (a) it will need a further extension under the Credit Agreement in order to furnish the restated Specified
2014 Financials, the 2015 Q1 Financials, the 2015 Q2 Financials and the 2015 Q3 Financials, (b) it will also need an extension
under the Credit Agreement in order to furnish its financial statements (and related deliveries) for the quarterly period ending
December 31, 2015 (such financial statements and related deliveries, the “2015 Q4 Financials” and, together
with the 2015 Q1 Financials, the 2015 Q2 Financials and the 2015 Q3 Financials, the “2015 Quarterly Financials”),
as currently required by Sections 5.01(b) and 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, (c) it will also need an extension
under the Credit Agreement in order to furnish its financial statements (and related deliveries) for the annual period ending December
31, 2015 (the “2015 Annual Financials” and, together with the 2015 Quarterly Financials, the “2015
Financials”), as currently required by Sections 5.01(a) and 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, (d) it will

Annual Report on Form 10-K (and related deliveries) for the annual period ending December 31, 2015 (such financial statements and
related deliveries, the “2015 10-K”) on or before the applicable deadline established by the SEC with respect
to such periodic report of the Borrower and (f) it may not file with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (and related deliveries)
for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2016 (such financial statements and related deliveries, the “2016 Q1 10-Q”)
on or before the applicable deadline established by the SEC with respect to such periodic report of the Borrower.

 

The Borrower has now requested that the Administrative
Agent and the Required Lenders consent to and agree (the “Consent”) that any Default or Event of Default that
may have occurred and is continuing or may occur, in each case, pursuant to clauses (c), (d), (e), (g)
and/or (n) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement or the corresponding provisions of any other Loan Document, solely
and directly as a result of (i) any of the Specified 2014 Financial Statements being incorrect, (ii) the Restatements, (iii) any
failure of the Borrower to file any 2015 10-Q, the 2015 10-K or the 2016 Q1 10-Q on or before the applicable deadline established
by the SEC with respect to such periodic reports of the Borrower, (iv) any failure of the Borrower to provide the restated Specified
2014 Financials, the 2015 Financials, any 2015 10-Qs, the 2015 10-K, the 2016 Q1 Financials and/or the 2016 Q1 10-Q on or before
any other applicable deadline and/or (v) any failure of the Borrower to provide any notice of the foregoing, are each hereby waived;
provided that, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (1) the restated Specified 2014 Financials,
the 2015 Financials and the 2016 Q1 Financials by no later than August 15, 2016 and (2) internally prepared drafts of the 2015

of the 2016 Q1 Financials by no later than May 13, 2016 (to the extent the 2016 Q1 Financials are not furnished to the Administrative

2015 Annual Financials and 2016 Q1 Financials are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified Draft Financials”);
provided further that, it is hereby understood and agreed that, if the Borrower fails to provide the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders with (x) the restated Specified 2014 Financials, the 2015 Financials and the 2016 Q1 Financials on or prior
to August 15, 2016 or (y) any of the Specified Draft Financials (to the extent required to be provided) on or prior to the respective

the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have all the rights and remedies afforded by the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents as if such waiver had never been granted, and an immediate Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under
the Credit Agreement.

Each of the Lenders party hereto hereby acknowledges
and agrees that the Specified Draft Financials may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, the other Loan

may have occurred and is continuing or may occur, in each case, pursuant to clauses (c), (d), (e), (g)
and/or (n) of Article VII of the Loan Agreement or the corresponding provisions of any other Loan Document, solely

by no later than May 13, 2016 (to the extent the 2016 Q1 Financials are not furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
on or prior to such date) (such internally prepared drafts of the 2015 Q3 Financials, 2015 Q4 Financials, 2015 Annual Financials
and 2016 Q1 Financials are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified Draft Financials”); provided
further that, it is hereby understood and agreed that, in lieu of any increase to the interest rate applicable to the Loans
set forth in the Existing Consent Memorandum and upon the effectiveness of this Consent:

 

(1) the “Applicable Rate”
definition set forth in Section 1.01 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

 

“Applicable Rate”
means:

    	 	2	 

    

    

 

(a) commencing on (and including)
November 13, 2015 and ending on (but excluding) the earlier of May 13, 2016 and the Financials Delivery Compliance Date, (i) 4.00%
per annum for any ABR Loan and (ii) 5.00% per annum for any Eurodollar Loan;

 

(b) if the Financials Delivery Compliance
Date does not occur on or prior to May 13, 2016, commencing on (and including) May 13, 2016 and ending on (but excluding) the Financials
Delivery Compliance Date, (i) 4.50% per annum for any ABR Loan and (ii) 5.50% per annum for any Eurodollar Loan; and

 

(c) commencing on (and including)
the Financials Delivery Compliance Date and for each day thereafter, with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or any ABR Loan, as the
case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Eurodollar Spread” or “ABR Spread”,
as the case may be, based upon the Ratings Level applicable on such date:

 

	Ratings Level	
        Index Ratings

        (Moody’s/S&P)
	Eurodollar Spread	ABR Spread
	Level I	B1/B+ or higher	4.25%	3.25%
	Level II	B2/B	4.75%	3.75%
	Level III	B3/B- or lower	5.50%	4.50%

 

For purposes of the foregoing:

 

(1) “Financials Delivery
Compliance Date” means August 15, 2016; provided that, if the Borrower shall have provided the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, prior to August 15, 2016, with (A) its restated financial statements for the annual period ended December
31, 2014 and the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014, in each case, together with the
related deliveries required pursuant to Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b) and 5.01(c) of this Agreement, (B) its financial
statements for the annual period ending December 31, 2015, the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September
30, 2015 and the quarterly period ending December 31, 2015, in each case, together with the related deliveries required pursuant
to Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b) and 5.01(c) of this Agreement and (C) its financial statements for the quarterly
period ending March 31, 2016, together with the related deliveries required pursuant to Sections 5.01(b) and 5.01(c)
of this Agreement, the “Financials Delivery Compliance Date” shall be the first date on which each of the financial
statements set forth in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C) shall have been provided to the Administrative Agent.

 

(2) “Index Rating”
means the public corporate credit rating of the Borrower then most recently announced by S&P or the public corporate family
rating of the Borrower then most recently announced by Moody’s, as applicable.

 

(3) with respect to clause (c)
above, (A) if neither Moody’s nor S&P shall have in effect an Index Rating (other than by reason of the circumstances
referred to in clause (F) below), then the applicable Ratings Level shall be Level III, (B) if the Index Ratings
established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P shall fall within different Ratings Levels, the Ratings
Level shall be based on the lower of the two Index Ratings, (C) if only one of S&P and Moody’s shall have in effect an
Index Rating, the Ratings Level shall be determined by reference to the available Index Rating, (D) if the Index Rating established
or deemed to have been established by S&P or Moody’s shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating
system of such rating agency), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first publicly announced by the applicable
rating agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders, (E) each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change
and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change and (F) if the rating system of either
rating agency shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations,
the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the
unavailability of Index Ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate
shall be determined by reference to the Index Rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

    	 	3	 

    

    

 

(2) at the time of the effectiveness of any
Repricing Transaction that is consummated prior to November 13, 2016, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Loans, a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of (x) in the case of a Repricing Transaction
of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof set forth in the Loan Agreement, the aggregate principal amount
of all Loans prepaid (or converted or exchanged) in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (y) in the case of a Repricing

becomes effective, for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent

The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and each Lender shall be deemed to agree to treat) the changes to the terms
of the existing Loans resulting from the effectiveness of this Consent as causing a significant modification of the existing Loans
within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.1001-3.

 

Each of the Lenders party hereto hereby acknowledges
and agrees that the Specified Draft Financials may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, the other Loan
Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities, including for purposes of Federal and state securities laws,
and are subject to Section 9.12 of the Loan Agreement.

of like import, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of
words like “thereunder”, “thereof”, “therein” and words of like import), shall mean and be
a reference to the Loan Agreement after giving effect to this Consent Memorandum; and this Consent Memorandum and the Loan Agreement
