     WHEREAS, IMPAX desires to sublicense its license rights under the Patent License Agreement to DAVA, and to agree to sublicense its license rights under the Supplemental License Agreement to DAVA, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

2. SUPPLY.
     2.1 During the Term of this Agreement, the supply of Product by IMPAX to DAVA under the Supply Agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. IMPAX’s obligation under the Supply Agreement to supply Product to DAVA shall be suspended from the Patent License Termination Date until the Supplemental License Effective Date and from the Supplemental License Termination Date until the Supply Resumption Date.
3. PATENT SUBLICENSE.
     3.1 IMPAX hereby grants to DAVA an exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable sublicense of limited duration of IMPAX’s license rights granted under the Patent License Agreement (“Patent Sublicense”) to offer to Sell, Sell and distribute not more than that number of bottles of the Product each containing 100 tablets (“Bottles”) equal to the difference between (i) XXXXX minus (ii) the number of Bottles sold by DAVA from March 1, 2007 through March 29, 2007 (the “License Amount”), allocated among dosage strengths as set forth in Section 3.2 below in the United States during the period commencing on the Patent License Effective Date and terminating upon the Patent License Termination Date. IMPAX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to manufacture XXXXX Bottles for Sale by DAVA during the period commencing March 1, 2007 and ending on the Patent License Termination Date.

     3.2 The Bottles Sold by DAVA from March 1, 2007 through the Patent License Termination Date shall be allocated according to dosage strength such that the quantity of Bottles Sold of each dosage strength shall not vary by more than twelve and one half percent (12.5%) from the number of Bottles set forth next to each dosage strength on Schedule 1 hereto; provided, that variations, in the aggregate, may not increase the License Amount or increase the XXXXX.
     3.3 All rights granted to DAVA under the Patent Sublicense will terminate on the Patent License Termination Date. From and after the Patent License Termination Date until the Supply Resumption Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4 hereof, DAVA shall not solicit offers for, offer to sell, sell, ship or cause to be shipped or distribute or indemnify others regarding or participate in profits of others arising from the sale of the Products. Within ten (10) Business Days following the License Termination Date, DAVA will deliver to IMPAX a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of DAVA certifying (i) the number of Bottles of each dosage strength sold by DAVA from March 1, 2007 through the License Termination Date; (ii) that no sales resulting in sales above the License Amount were made by DAVA prior to the License Termination Date; and (iii) that all inventories of the Products in DAVA’s possession or control and remaining on the Patent License Termination Date have been quarantined or returned to IMPAX. The foregoing notwithstanding, DAVA shall not be in default of this Section 3.3 if, despite using its commercially reasonable efforts, DAVA has not received sufficiently specific information from DDN Pharmaceutical Logistics to provide the certification described in subsection (i) of the preceding sentence within such 10 Business Days, in which case it shall provide such certification as soon as it is in possession of such information.
     3.4 Should DAVA (or any other party acting on its behalf) ship any Products into interstate commerce for commercial sale in the United States in excess of the Licensed Amount or after the Patent License Termination Date but prior to the Supply Resumption Date except pursuant to Section 4 (in either case, “Excess Sales”), and to the extent that IMPAX is required under the Patent License Agreement to pay Purdue such amount with respect to such Excess Sales, IMPAX shall have the right to receive from DAVA, and DAVA agrees to promptly pay to IMPAX (without any waiver or offset by IMPAX of any right to further damages), an amount equal to $XXXXX of Excess Sales sold, which is the amount IMPAX would be required to pay Purdue under the Patent License Agreement; provided, however, that the XXXXX payable by DAVA shall be increased by a percentage equal to the amount of any announced percentage increase in the price of the wholesale acquisition cost of the Branded Product by Purdue. If an independent certified public accounting firm (a “CPA Firm”) chosen by Purdue under the Patent License Agreement conducts an audit of IMPAX for the purposes of confirming that no sales of the Products resulted in Excess Sales, DAVA shall make its books and records available at DAVA’s offices in Fort Lee, New Jersey for a period of no more than two (2) Business Days to such CPA Firm upon seven (7) Business Days prior notice from IMPAX and at all reasonable times on Business Days for the purpose of reporting to Purdue and IMPAX that no sales of the Products resulted in Excess Sales. Prior to any such examination taking place, the CPA firm shall commit in writing to DAVA, in an agreement of form and substance reasonably acceptable to DAVA, to keep all information and data contained in such books and records strictly confidential and shall not disclose such information or copies of such books and records to any third person, including Purdue, but shall use the same only for the purpose of the reviews and/or calculations that the CPA Firm needs to perform in order to confirm that no sales of the Products resulted in

3


 

Excess Sales. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the CPA Firm determines that sales of the Products resulted in Excess Sales, then Purdue shall be entitled to receive a full written report from the CPA Firm with respect to the findings. If the CPA Firm report shows that sales by DAVA resulted in Excess Sales, DAVA shall reimburse IMPAX for any amount IMPAX is required under the Patent License Agreement to pay to Purdue for the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm.
4. SUPPLEMENTAL PATENT SUBLICENSE.
     4.1 Subject to IMPAX and Purdue having entered into the Supplemental License Agreement, IMPAX hereby grants to DAVA an exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable sublicense of limited duration of Impax’s license rights granted under the Supplemental License Agreement (“Supplemental Patent Sublicense”) to offer to Sell, Sell and distribute XXXXX Bottles plus such additional Bottles as are determined pursuant to the Supplemental License Agreement (the “Supplemental License Amount”), allocated among dosage strengths as set forth in Section 4.2 below in the United States during the period commencing on the Supplemental License Effective Date and terminating upon the Supplemental License Termination Date. IMPAX shall notify DAVA within one (1) Business Days of becoming aware of (i) Bottles in excess of XXXXX being included within the Supplemental License Amount and (ii) any change in the Supplemental License Effective Date and Supplemental License Termination Date.
     4.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if DAVA fails to comply with any instruction from IMPAX to cease sales of the Products, which instruction is mandated by the terms of the Purdue Settlement, the Patent License Agreement or the Supplemental License Agreement, then the Supplemental Patent Sublicense shall automatically terminate and DAVA shall have no further right to offer to Sell, Sell or distribute the Products, and shall have no right to any proceeds from sales of the Products, until the Supply Resumption Date.
     4.3 The Bottles Sold by DAVA during the Supplemental License Period shall be allocated according to dosage strength such that the quantity of Bottles Sold of each dosage strength shall not vary by more than twelve and one half percent (12.5%) from the number of Bottles set forth next to each dosage strength on Schedule 2 hereto; provided, that variations, in the aggregate, may not increase the Supplemental License Amount or increase the XXXXX.
     4.4 All rights granted to DAVA under the Supplemental Patent Sublicense will terminate on the Supplemental License Termination Date. From and after the Supplemental License Termination Date until the Supply Resumption Date, DAVA may not solicit offers for, offer to sell, sell, ship or cause to be shipped or distribute or indemnify others regarding or participate in profits of others arising from, the Products. Promptly after the Supplemental License Termination Date, DAVA shall follow the instructions of IMPAX to return or destroy, at IMPAX’s sole cost and expense, all inventories of the Products remaining in its possession or control, unless the Supply Resumption Date occurs prior to the Supplemental License Termination Date. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Supplemental License Termination Date, DAVA will deliver to IMPAX a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of DAVA certifying (i) the number of Bottles of each dosage strength sold by DAVA during the Supplemental License Period; (ii) that all inventories of the Products remaining in DAVA’s possession or control on the Supplemental License Termination Date have been returned to

4


 

IMPAX or destroyed; and (iii) that no sales resulting in sales above the Supplemental License Amount were made by DAVA during the Supplemental License Period. The foregoing notwithstanding, DAVA shall not be in default of this Section 3.3 if, despite using its commercially reasonable efforts, DAVA has not received sufficiently specific information from DDN Pharmaceutical Logistics to provide the certification described in subsection (i) of the preceding sentence within such 10 Business Days, in which case it shall provide such certification as soon as it is in possession of such information.
     4.5 Should DAVA (or any other party acting on its behalf) ship any Products into interstate commerce for commercial sale in the United States in excess of the Supplemental License Amount or after the Supplemental License Termination Date but prior to the Supply Resumption Date (in either case, “Excess Sales”), and to the extent that IMPAX is required under its Supplemental License Agreement with Purdue to pay Purdue such amount with respect to such Excess Sales, IMPAX shall have the right to receive from DAVA, and DAVA agrees to promptly pay to IMPAX (without any waiver or offset by IMPAX of any right to further damages), an amount equal to $XXXXX of Excess Sales sold, which is the amount IMPAX would be required to pay Purdue under the Supplemental License Agreement; provided, however, that the XXXXX payable by DAVA shall be increased by a percentage equal to the amount of any announced percentage increase in the price of the wholesale acquisition cost of the Branded Product by Purdue. If a CPA Firm chosen by Purdue and reasonably acceptable to IMPAX conducts an audit of IMPAX for the purposes of confirming that no sales of the Products resulted in Excess Sales, DAVA shall make its books and records available to such CPA firm at DAVA’s offices in Fort Lee, New Jersey for a period of no more than two (2) Business Days upon seven (7) Business Days prior notice from IMPAX and at all reasonable times on business days for the purpose of reporting to Purdue and IMPAX that no sales of the Products resulted in Excess Sales. Prior to any such examination taking place, the CPA firm shall commit in writing to DAVA, in an agreement of form and substance reasonably acceptable to DAVA, to keep all information and data contained in such books and records strictly confidential and shall not disclose such information or copies of such books and records to any third person, including Purdue, but shall use the same only for the purpose of the reviews and/or calculations which the CPA Firm needs to perform in order to confirm that no sales of the Products resulted in Excess Sales. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the CPA Firm determines that sales of the Products resulted in Excess Sales, then Purdue shall be entitled to receive a full written report from the CPA Firm with respect to the findings. If the CPA Firm report shows that sales by DAVA resulted in Excess Sales, DAVA shall reimburse IMPAX for any amount IMPAX is required under the Supplemental License Agreement to pay to Purdue for the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm.
5. GROSS PROFIT SPLIT.
     5.1 The Gross Profit Split under Section 5.3 of the Supply Agreement shall be applicable only to Product sales through the Patent License Termination Date and from and after the Supply Resumption Date and shall not be applicable to Product sales during the Supplemental License Period.

     6.1 For Products sold during the Supplemental License Period IMPAX shall pay DAVA XXXXX% of Gross Margin (the “Distribution Fee”); provided, however, that to the extent that fewer than XXXXX Bottles are sold from March 1, 2007 through the License Termination Date, the Distribution Fee shall be equal to XXXXX% of Gross Margin.
