AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT & MANUFACTURING

AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT & MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT, (the “Agreement”) is effective as of November 6,2009 (the “Effective Date”) between EKR THERAPEUTICS, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and having its principal office at 1545 US Highway 206 Third Floor, Bedminster, New Jersey 07921 (“EKR”), and BAXTER HEALTHCARE CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and having its principal office at One Baxter Parkway, Deerfield, Illinois 60015 (“Baxter”). All references to “EKR” and “Baxter” will include their respective Affiliates.

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 Original Agreement. PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”) and Baxter entered into a Development and Manufacturing Agreement effective January 4, 2007 (the “Original Agreement”). EKR assumed all of PDL’s obligations under the Original Agreement effective March 3, 2008.

1.2 EKR and Baxter wish to amend certain provisions in the Original Agreement, including without limitation, adding a development plan for “[***] Cardene”, setting forth Annual Purchase Obligations, and updating the Original Agreement to reflect the correct contracting entities. Therefore, EKR and Baxter have agreed to enter into this Amended and Restated Development and Manufacturing Agreement.

1.3 General. EKR has developed and is continuing to develop a pre-mix, ready-to-use formulation containing nicardipine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Baxter manufactures container systems for pre-mix, ready-to-use solutions that facilitate parenteral administration of pharmaceutical preparations. Baxter is interested in expanding the application of the Baxter Container to the packaging of drug products that have significant usage potential, such as the EKR Formulation.

EKR believes that the EKR Formulation and Baxter Container can be developed to permit the manufacture and sale of a product that neither EKR nor Baxter could develop or manufacture independently, and such product will offer significant benefits to customers.

EKR and Baxter have previously signed the Prior LOI, and the Amended LOI regarding the optimization, development and manufacturing of the EKR Formulation in the Baxter Container. The parties hereby enter into a definitive agreement to provide for the collaborative development of the EKR Formulation in the Baxter Container, and manufacture of the Product in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.4 Exhibits. In addition to the matters referenced in the text of this Agreement, the Parties agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in attached Exhibits A through I to the same extent as if such provisions were referenced in and incorporated into the text of this Agreement.

[***] Confidential portions of the exhibit have been omitted and filed

separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

[***] Confidential portions of the exhibit have been omitted and filed

separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

10

Product by giving written notice to Baxter within thirty (30) days after EKR’s receipt of such Product if the rejection is due to obvious physical Defects (other than caused by shipping) or quantity discrepancies that are evident upon visual inspection of the packaged Product as received by EKR, and (ii) reject such Product by giving written notice to Baxter within thirty (30) days after EKR becomes aware of such Defect if it is rejecting a shipment due to defects other than obvious physical Defects or quantity discrepancies that are evident upon visual inspection of the packaged Product as received by EKR. For clarity, if Baxter ships the correct quantity of Product and complies with Section 6.6, including without limitation using appropriate shipping containers and insuring the Product as directed by EKR, then Baxter shall not be responsible for damage to Product that is caused by shipping and/or handling after risk of loss has transferred to EKR pursuant to Section 6.6. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, EKR shall not have any obligation to inspect the Product beyond a visual inspection of each shipment for obvious physical damage or quantity discrepancies that are evident upon visual inspection of the packaged Product as shipped by Baxter. Any notice given hereunder shall specify the manner in which the Product fails to conform to such warranty and/or Product Specifications.

6.7.2 Remedies. If the nonconformity of the Product is due to damage caused solely by EKR, then Baxter shall have no liability to EKR with respect to such nonconformity.
