PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 22nd day of March, 1996, by and
between Penwest, Ltd., a Washington corporation ("Penwest"), and Mylan
Pharmaceuticals Inc., a West Virginia corporation ("Mylan").
A. Penwest has developed a controlled-release agent covered by one
or more patents, patent applications, know-how and other proprietary technology,
which agent Penwest markets under the name "TIMERx(R)" ("TIMERx"). Penwest has
conducted initial biostudies with respect to the potential development of one or
more pharmaceutical products incorporating the active ingredient glipizide
("Glipizide"), TIMERx, and one or more other excipients.
B. Mylan is interested in developing for manufacture a
pharmaceutical product incorporating Glipizide in a solid-dosage
controlled-release delivery system for oral administration in humans.
C. The parties, under two prior agreements (the "Nifedipine
Agreements"), are engaging in certain activities relating to the development and
testing of a product incorporating the active ingredient Nifedipine and TIMERx,
and designed to be bioequivalent, respectively, to the products currently being
marketed in the United States under the names "Procardia XL" and "Adalat CC."
The parties now desire to engage in a separate program of research, development,
and testing activities designed to determine if Penwest's TIMERx
controlled-release system can be adapted and combined with Glipizide to make a
generic controlled-release version of Glipizide for oral solid-dosage
administration in humans that is bioequivalent to the product currently being
marketed in the United States under the name "Glucotrol XL." If such activities
are successful, Mylan desires to contract for a supply of TIMERx for use in the
manufacture of such a controlled-release form of Glipizide, and Penwest is
willing to supply the same provided that Mylan agrees to obtain all of its
requirements for controlled-release agents for Glipizide products that are
essentially bioequivalent to "Glucotrol XL" in the form of TIMERx from Penwest
as provided herein.

("cGMPs").
5.6 Within a reasonable period but not more than thirty (30)
days after receipt, Mylan will analyze each shipment of
the Formulated TIMERx. If Mylan considers any such
shipment not to conform to the applicable
Specifications, Mylan shall notify Penwest immediately
and provide Penwest with the relevant analysis. If
Penwest does not agree, the parties shall submit such
disagreement to the arbitration of one mutually accepted
neutral
14
15
analytical laboratory. If Penwest or the neutral
laboratory agree with Mylan, Penwest shall not have any
obligation to Mylan other than to accomplish at Mylan's
option any of the following:
i) at its own expense accept return of any shipment
not accepted; or
ii) reimburse Mylan for the cost of disposal or
destruction; and
iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to replace
the non-conforming shipment with conforming

5.7 In case Penwest cannot supply Mylan the requested
quantities of the Formulated TIMERx, the shipments may be made by an alternate
supplier designated by Penwest with Mylan's consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Penwest will qualify (in Penwest's reasonable judgment)
at least one such alternate supplier and notify Mylan thereof at least 90 days
prior to the submission of the ANDA. If Mylan has any objections to such
supplier, it shall so notify Penwest within fifteen days following Penwest's
notice of such qualification, or else Mylan will be deemed to have consented to
such qualification and the designation of such supplier. Such shipment by the
alternate supplier shall be made under the same agreed terms and conditions as
those set forth herein, except that an additional 60 days shall be added to the
order lead time stated in any then-outstanding order for Formulated TIMERx
hereunder to reflect the transition time required to shift to such alternate
supplier. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Penwest
will be responsible for enforcing all relevant terms and conditions set forth
herein against such alternate supplier and remain liable to Mylan for any breach
of such terms and conditions by such supplier.
5.8 If for any reason Penwest (or the alternate supplier)
fails to supply Mylan with its and its Affiliates' and sublicensees'
requirements of Formulated TIMERx during the Marketing Period as agreed
hereunder, Penwest shall ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ a nonexclusive license to manufacture
Formulated TIMERx under the TIMERx Production Technology and make knowledgeable
personnel reasonably available to consult with Mylan, all to the extent
necessary to enable Mylan to produce Formulated TIMERx that would otherwise have
been supplied by Penwest or an alternate supplier hereunder for Mylan and its
Affiliates and sublicensees in connection with the production of the Designated
Product pursuant to this Agreement.

5.8.1 In such event Mylan shall pay to Penwest, in
addition to the Royalties under Section ,
Production Royalties equal to ****************,
if any, of the then-current Unit Price for each
kilogram of Formulated TIMERx produced by Mylan
hereunder, ******************************. Such
Production Royalties shall be payable and

Section, whether orally or in writing, in
confidence in accordance with Section (to the
extent the same is Confidential Technology) and
shall use such information and technology only
for the purpose of producing Formulated TIMERx
for its own use and the use of its Affiliates
and sublicensees in connection with this
Agreement.
5.8.3 Mylan acknowledges that, in doing the foregoing,
Penwest will not be providing a "turnkey"
operation. Rather, Penwest will only be required
to make reasonably available to Mylan the best
standard of knowledge and information then
available to Penwest and directly used in its or
its Affiliate's manufacture of Formulated
TIMERx. If any professional licenses, visas, or
other permits are required for any of the
consulting to be provided by Penwest's or its
Affiliates' or licensees' personnel, Mylan shall
so inform Penwest and Mylan shall bear the costs
of obtaining the same.
5.8.4 Neither Penwest nor its Affiliates or licensees
will be responsible for any failure of Mylan or
its personnel to understand or properly to
implement such knowledge and information or for
any materials made by any party other than
Penwest or such respective Affiliate or licensee
using such knowledge and information.
5.8.5 If Penwest's non-delivery of Formulated TIMERx
resulted in whole or in part from a temporary
inability to produce and deliver the same,
Penwest may, at its option and on at least 120
days' prior written notice to Mylan, terminate

5.9 Penwest shall, after receipt of reasonable prior notice,
give duly accredited representatives of Mylan access at all reasonable times
during regular business hours to inspect, copy, and audit any relevant records

produced.
5.10 Mylan shall deliver to Penwest a firm written order
stating its (and/or its Affiliates' and sublicensees') requirements for
Formulated TIMERx to be used for production of the Designated Product for
commercial use or sale no less than 6 months in advance of the requested
delivery date therefor. Mylan shall, within one month following the filing by
Mylan of an ANDA with the FDA for the Designated Product, submit to Penwest
Mylan's first such order for Formulated TIMERx under this Agreement, for an
amount ************************************************************************
*******************************************************************************
************ inclusive, following the submission of such order.
5.11 At least twelve months before Mylan and/or its
Affiliates or sublicensees begin production of the Designated Product for
commercial use or sale (and in any event not later than concurrently with the
submission of the first order described in Section 5.10), Mylan shall deliver to
Penwest a written, non-binding estimate of all requirements of Formulated TIMERx
therefor. Mylan will deliver to Penwest updates to such estimates on or before
the first day of each January, April, July and October thereafter during the
Marketing Period, which updates may revise estimates previously submitted and
will add estimates for additional months so that each such estimate covers the

shall not be obligated to supply Mylan with quantities of Formulated TIMERx
during any quarter in excess of ******************************** of the
quantities estimated in Mylan's written estimate applicable to that quarter,
which estimate was given to Penwest ********** prior to such quarter (the
"************* Prior Estimate" as to that quarter). Mylan shall be responsible
for purchasing from Penwest in each quarter at least ************* of the

Estimate as to such quarter.
5.12 No order for Formulated TIMERx hereunder may be
cancelled or deferred by Mylan except by written notice delivered to Penwest at
**************** prior to the scheduled delivery date. No orders may be

if such cancellation or deferral
17

level referred to in Section 5.11.
5.13 Each party shall promptly notify the other of any fact,
circumstance, condition or knowledge dealing with TIMERx or the Designated
Product of which the Party becomes aware that bears upon the safety or efficacy
of TIMERx or the Designated Product. Each party shall immediately notify the
other of any inspection or audit relating to TIMERx, Formulated TIMERx, or the
Designated Product by any governmental regulatory authority in the Territory. If
a representative of the governmental authority takes samples in connection with
such audit or inspection, the parties shall immediately provide each other, as
appropriate, samples from the same batch. The party in receipt of such notice
will provide the other party within 72 hours, with copies of all relevant
documents, including FDA Forms 482, 483, warning letters and other
correspondence and notifications as such other party may reasonably request.
Penwest and Mylan agree to cooperate with each other during any inspection,
investigation or other inquiry by the FDA or other governmental entity,
including providing information and/or documentation, as requested by the FDA,
or other governmental entity. To the extent permissible, Penwest and Mylan also
agree to discuss any responses to observations or notifications received and to
give the other party an opportunity to comment on any proposed response before
it is made. In the event of disagreement concerning the content or form of such
response, Mylan shall be responsible for deciding the appropriate form and
content of any response with respect to any of its cited activities and Penwest
shall be responsible for deciding the appropriate form and content of any
response with respect to any of its cited activities. Each party shall inform
the other of all comments and conclusions received from the governmental
authority.

Penwest to do so as agreed hereunder. Penwest and its Affiliates shall have the
right to grant sublicenses of its rights hereunder to an alternate supplier as
and for the purposes described in Section , but shall otherwise have no right to
grant sublicenses hereunder without the prior written consent of Mylan, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.5 Subject to and conditional upon the failure of Penwest
(or the alternate supplier) to meet Mylan's and its Affiliates' and
sublicensees' requirements as provided in Section , Penwest grants to Mylan a
nonexclusive, worldwide license under the TIMERx Production Technology to make
and have made Formulated TIMERx solely for use in the Designated Product for

provided in the Nifedipine Agreements, the "Designated Products" defined in
those agreements. Such license shall require the payment of a reasonable royalty
to Mylan if any commercial sales are made under such license. Penwest shall
notify Mylan at least **************** prior to granting any sublicense to the
rights under this section (other than to a Penwest Affiliate), and shall consult
with Mylan as to the propriety of such sublicense if Mylan, within such
*********** period, notifies Penwest of Mylan's belief, on reasonable grounds
stated in such notice, that such a sublicense would have a substantial adverse
effect on Mylan or its business. Mylan will, throughout the License Term,
promptly notify Penwest of all Mylan Improvements and provide Penwest with
access to all of the same, solely for use within the scope of the license stated
in this section.
6.8 In recognition of the parties' cooperative efforts with
respect to the Joint Developments, it is agreed that each party and its

so provided in the Nifedipine Agreements, the "Designated Products" defined in
those agreements); provided, however, that each party

rights under this section (other than to a Penwest Affiliate or as to the
Available Portion), and shall consult with Mylan as to the propriety of such
sublicense if Mylan, within such **************** period, notifies Penwest of
Mylan's belief, on reasonable grounds stated in such notice, that such a
sublicense would have a substantial adverse effect on Mylan or its business.
Mylan hereby consents to Penwest's and its Affiliates' and sublicensees'
cross-referencing, in any filings that are essentially the equivalent of the
sorts of filings that are termed "ANDA" or "NDA" filings if made with the FDA,
made by them within the scope of such license, any ANDA or NDA filing made or
FDA master file created by Mylan or its Affiliates or sublicensees relating to

7. CONFIDENTIALITY.
7.1 In the course of performance under this Agreement, a
party may disclose to the other confidential information belonging to such party
in writing, orally or by demonstration or sample, which information is marked or
stated in writing at or within 30 days after its disclosure to be "confidential"
or "trade secret" information. All such confidential information of a party
shall be maintained in confidence by the other and will not be used by the other
party for any purpose except as authorized hereunder. Each party shall exercise,
and shall cause its Affiliates, sublicensees and consultants to exercise, a
reasonable degree of care and at least the same degree of care as it uses to
protect its own confidential information of similar nature to preserve the
confidentiality of such information of the other party. Each party shall
safeguard such information against disclosure to third parties, including
without limitation employees and persons working or consulting for such party
that do not have an established, current need to know such information for
purposes authorized under this Agreement. This obligation of confidentiality
does not apply to information and material that:
7.1.1 were properly in the possession of the receiving
party, without any restriction on use or disclosure,
prior to receipt from the other party;
7.1.2 are at the time of disclosure hereunder in the
public domain by public use, publication, or general
knowledge;
7.1.3 become general or public knowledge through no
fault of the receiving party or its Affiliates or
sublicensees following disclosure hereunder;
7.1.4 are properly obtained by the receiving party
from a third party not under a confidentiality
obligation to the disclosing party hereto;
7.1.5 are independently developed by or on behalf of
the receiving party without the use or assistance of the
confidential information of the other party;

7.1.6 consist merely of an idea or conception for the
combination of one or more active drug ingredients with
a controlled-release agent such as TIMERx; or
7.1.7 are required to be disclosed by order of any
court or governmental authority; provided, however, that
the exceptions stated in Sections 7.1.3, 7.1.4, 7.1.5
and 7.1.7 shall not affect the continuing obligation of
Mylan as the receiving party to pay any Royalties
pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the use of
such information or materials that have not, as of the
relevant time, been placed into the public domain by the
act of Penwest or its Affiliates.
7.2 Neither party shall make any public announcement or
other publication regarding this Agreement (whether as to the existence or terms
hereof) or the development work or project hereunder or the results thereof
without the prior, written consent of the other party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any
disclosure which, in the opinion of counsel to the disclosing party, is required
by any applicable law or by any competent governmental authority. In no event
shall either party make any disclosure of any such results before a patent
application has been filed with respect thereto, except upon the prior written
approval of the other party.
8. INFRINGEMENT.
8.1 Penwest shall promptly inform Mylan of any suspected
infringement of any of the Penwest Patents or the infringement or
misappropriation of the TIMERx Production Technology by a third party, to the
extent such infringement involves the manufacture, use or sale of the Designated
Product in the Territory ("Covered Infringement"). Mylan shall promptly inform
Penwest of any suspected infringement of any of the Penwest Patents or
infringement or misappropriation of the TIMERx Production Technology, whether or
not the same involves a Covered Infringement.
8.2 If the suspected infringement or misappropriation does
not involve a Covered Infringement, Penwest may take, or refrain from taking,
any action it chooses, with or without notice to Mylan, and Mylan shall have no
right to take any action with respect to such suspected infringement or
misappropriation, nor to any recoveries with respect thereto. If the suspected
infringement or misappropriation involves a Covered Infringement, Penwest shall,
within 30 days of the first notice referred to in Section , inform Mylan whether
or not Penwest intends to institute suit against such third party with respect
to a Covered Infringement. Mylan will not take any steps toward instituting suit
against any third party
23
24
involving a Covered Infringement until Penwest has informed Mylan of its
intention pursuant to the previous sentence.
8.3 If Penwest notifies Mylan that it intends to institute
suit against a third party with respect to a Covered Infringement, and Mylan
does not agree to join in such suit as provided in Section , Penwest may bring
such suit on its own and shall in such event bear all costs of, and shall
exercise all control over, such suit. Penwest may, at its expense, bring such
action in the name of Mylan and/or cause Mylan to be joined in the suit as a
plaintiff. Recoveries, if any, whether by judgment, award, decree or settlement,
shall belong solely to Penwest.
8.4 If Penwest notifies Mylan that it desires to institute
suit against such third party with respect to a Covered Infringement, and Mylan
notifies Penwest within 30 days after receipt of such notice that Mylan desires
to institute suit jointly, the suit shall be brought jointly in the names of
both parties and all costs thereof shall be borne equally. Recoveries, if any,
whether by judgment, award, decree or settlement, shall, after the reimbursement
of each of Penwest and Mylan for its share of the joint costs in such action, be
shared between Penwest and Mylan equally; provided however that, any portion of
such net recoveries which constitutes the equivalent of, or damages or payments
in lieu of, a royalty measured by the defendant's Net Sales shall not be shared
equally, but shall be shared between Penwest and Mylan in accordance with
Section as if they were Mylan's Net Sales.
8.5 If Penwest notifies Mylan that it does not intend to
institute suit against such third party with respect to a Covered Infringement,
Mylan may institute suit on its own. Mylan shall bear all costs of, and shall
exercise all control over, such suit. Recoveries, if any, whether by judgment,
award, decree or settlement, shall belong solely to Mylan; provided however
that, after reimbursement of Mylan for its costs in such action, any portion of
such net recoveries which constitutes the equivalent of, or damages or payments
in lieu of, a royalty measured by the defendant's Net Sales shall be shared
between Penwest and Mylan in accordance with Section as if they were Mylan's Net
Sales.
8.6 Should either Penwest or Mylan commence a suit under the
provisions of this Section and thereafter elect to abandon the same, it shall
give timely notice to the other party, who may, if it so desires, be joined as a
plaintiff in the suit (or continue as such if it is already one) and continue
prosecution of such suit. The sharing of expenses and any recovery of such suit
shall be as reasonably agreed between Penwest and Mylan.
9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES.
9.1 Each party represents and warrants to the other that, to
the best of its current knowledge, it has the full right and authority to enter
into this
24
25
Agreement and to grant the licenses granted herein. Each party believes, to the
best of its current knowledge, that any existing patents licensed by it to the
other party under this Agreement are valid.
9.2 Penwest represents and warrants that any Formulated
TIMERx supplied by it to Mylan hereunder for use in the Designated Product, at
the point of delivery:
9.2.1 will conform to the product Specifications that
Penwest and Mylan have agreed in writing are to apply to
such delivery of TIMERx; and
9.2.2 to the best of Penwest's current knowledge, will
not infringe upon an article patent of any third party.
PENWEST MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO ANY TIMERx OR
FORMULATED TIMERx SUPPLIED BY IT TO MYLAN EXCEPT AS ARE EXPLICITLY STATED
HEREIN.
9.3 Each party represents and warrants to the other party
that it has obtained and will at all times during the term of this Agreement,
hold and comply with all licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to
perform this Agreement and to test, manufacture, market, export, and import the
products and assistance to be provided by it hereunder, as now or hereafter
required under any applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
of the United States and any applicable foreign, state, and local governments
and governmental entities.
9.4 Mylan warrants that any Designated Product manufactured,
marketed or distributed by Mylan or its Affiliates or sublicensees shall meet
and be manufactured, packaged, labeled, sold, and promoted in accordance with
all applicable regulatory requirements within the Territory.
9.5 Penwest shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mylan
and its Affiliates and sublicensees from any claim, action or damages arising
out of any alleged infringement by reason of the manufacture, use or sale by
Mylan of the Designated Product to the extent such infringement would apply as
well to the manufacture, sale or distribution of TIMERx alone. If Mylan or its
Affiliate or sublicensee, by reason of its manufacture, sale or distribution of
Designated Product, is accused of infringing the patent of a third party, and
such claim of infringement, as framed by the claimant, would apply as well to
the manufacture, sale or distribution of TIMERx alone, Mylan shall immediately
so notify Penwest and provide Penwest all available information,
25
26

ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSIONS
and the parties shall consult reasonably as to the proper course of
action. If Penwest and Mylan jointly determine that such claim is likely to
prevail, or if an arbitrator hereunder or a court of competent jurisdiction so
determines, Mylan shall be entitled to offset against any Royalties payable to
Penwest hereunder any third party royalties for which Mylan or its Affiliate or
sublicensee becomes liable.
9.6 Penwest shall indemnify, defend and hold Mylan and its
Affiliates and sublicensees harmless from any and all third-party claims to the
extent arising from, in connection with, based upon, by reason of, or relating
in any way to:
9.6.1
*****************************************TIMERx
in the Designated Product;
9.6.2 Penwest's ********************************* and
the Specifications therefor hereunder;
9.6.3 any failure of the Formulated TIMERx
manufactured by Penwest or its alternate supplier (but
not by Mylan under Section ), as delivered to Mylan
hereunder for use in the Designated Product, to conform
to the Specifications; or
9.6.4 any failure of Penwest to comply with its
obligation under Section 5.13 to notify Mylan of any
information coming into Penwest's possession and
***************************************and not arising
from any other aspect of the Designated Product or its
formulation,development, supply, production,
manufacture, sale, delivery, distribution or usenor from
any act or omission of Mylan with respect to the
Formulated timer following its delivery to Mylan
hereunder.
9.7 Mylan shall indemnify, defend and hold Penwest harmless
from any and all third-party claims to the extent arising from, in connection
with, based upon, by reason of, or relating in any way to, the formulation,
development, supply, production, manufacture, sale, delivery, distribution or
use of the Designated Product, except for any matters which are covered by
Penwest's indemnities under Sections 9.5 and 9.6.
9.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
elsewhere herein, neither Mylan nor Penwest shall be obligated to indemnify the
other party for claims or liabilities to the extent arising from such other
party's, or its Affiliates', sublicensees' or assigns', negligence, intentional
misconduct, or breach of its duties, obligations, warranties or representations
set forth herein.
9.9 Whenever indemnification is provided for a party under
this Agreement, such right of indemnification shall extend also to the
indemnified party's
26
27
Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, successors, assigns, agents,
employees, and insurers to the extent the same become subject to such claim in
such capacity. The party seeking indemnification shall provide the indemnifying
party with written notice of any claim or action within ten (10) days of its
receipt thereof, and shall afford the indemnifying party the right to control
the defense and settlement of such claim or action. The party seeking
indemnification shall provide reasonable assistance to the indemnifying party in
the defense of such claim or action. If the defendants in any such action
include both Mylan and Penwest and either party concludes that there may be
legal defenses available to it which are different from, additional to, or
inconsistent with, those available to the other, that party shall have the right
to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its
behalf, and such party shall thereafter bear the cost and expense of such
separate defense. Should the indemnifying party determine not to defend such
claim or action, the other party shall have the right to maintain the defense of
such claim or action and the indemnifying party agrees to provide reasonable
assistance to it in the defense of such claim or action. Neither party shall
settle any such claim or action in a way that prejudices or adversely impacts

hereunder at any time without the prior written consent of the other party
hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
