Shasun shall also undertake the similar Development Activities with respect to such other products as may be added to and agreed to between Shasun and Alpharma from time to time. For clarity, Shasun shall provide formulations and analytical methods of the Developed Products that are sufficient and adequate for Alpharma to conduct Pilot Biostudies and Pivotal Biostudies required to demonstrate 1) acceptability to proceed to Pivotal Biostudy, and 2) bioequivalence as required within a Regulatory Filing. The specific objectives, scope, and required Milestone Timetable for Shasun's Development Activities hereunder are set out in Exhibit C. Alpharma reserves the right to withdraw from development any Developed Product where Shasun has not successfully achieved the milestones set out in the Development Proposal or Milestone Timetable and/or that Alpharma, in its sole discretion, determines would not be commercially viable to finance additional Development Activities for such Developed Product.

2.2 Development Testing. Alpharma will retain and oversee the engagement or retention of clinical research organizations to perform any Pilot Biostudy and Pivotal Biostudy testing required under this Agreement at its own cost and expense. Alpharma shall also develop the protocols for any such Pilot Biostudy and Pivotal Biostudy. Prior to the submission of any Developed Product formulation for testing, Alpharma shall have the right to evaluate the submission and assess the readiness of the Developed Product for Pilot Biostudy and Pivotal Biostudy. Shasun shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make any changes to the submission requested by Alpharma. Should the submitted Developed Product formulation, fail any Pivotal Biostudy, Shasun will perform all additional Development Activities required to reformulate the Developed Product. The parties will equally share the costs of any such additional Development Activities.

2.3 API Development and/or Procurement. Prior to the commencement of Development Activities for any Developed Product and upon acceptance of Shasun's Development Proposal (as defined in Section 2.4), the parties will determine whether or not Shasun will undertake development of the API (the "Development API" as defined above).

a. In this event, Shasun shall give Alpharma written notice specifying the date at which such Development API shall be ready for commercial production of the Developed Product, the cost of such Development API and the details on the process and Specifications used to manufacture and test the Development API in sufficient detail for inclusion in the Developed Product Regulatory Filing.

b. Alpharma shall accept the use of Development API if: (a) Shasun's notice reasonably demonstrates that: (i) the Development API will be ready for use in the Developed Product on a date which will permit commercial launch in accordance with the Milestone Timetable, and (ii) the Development API which will reasonably result from the process and Specifications used for manufacturing and testing supplied by Shasun will likely facilitate the timely receipt of Regulatory Approvals for the Developed Product and; (b) Alpharma reasonably determines that there is no opportunity to obtain the API from a third party source at a lower price.

c. In the event Alpharma determines that a lower price than Shasun's cost of API is available, it shall inform Shasun of such price and Shasun shall have thirty (30) days to meet such lower price in good faith. If Shasun fails to meet such lower price, at Alpharma's discretion, the Development Activities for the Developed Product may be commenced using the Third Party API of Alpharma's choosing. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to obligate Alpharma to continue or commence the Development Activities with regard to such Developed Product, however.

d. If use of the Development API is accepted pursuant to this Section, such decision shall be reconsidered if, at any time during the Development Activities, the actions leading to Regulatory Approvals, or thereafter, Alpharma reasonably believes that Shasun will be unable to meet the API criteria set forth in Section 2.3(b). In the event that Alpharma decides to reject using the Development API pursuant to this subsection, it shall be entitled to credit the cost of developing the Development API against other sums payable to Shasun pursuant to this Agreement, and be entitled to terminate this Agreement with regard to such Developed Product. In the event Alpharma determines that a lower price than Shasun's cost of API is available, it shall inform Shasun of such price and Shasun shall have thirty (30) days to meet such lower price. If Shasun fails to meet such lower price, at Alpharma's discretion, the manufacture of the Developed Product may be commenced using the Third API of Alpharma's choosing.

e. If the parties agree to have Shasun develop a Development API hereunder, they shall amend Exhibit B hereto to reflect the addition of such Development API.

f. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to waive either party's rights in or to the Development API set forth in this Agreement.

2.4 Payment for Development Activities. Alpharma shall pay Shasun's ****, as agreed upon, incurred in the development of the Developed Products and the Development API (the "Development Fee"). Prior to commencing any Development Activities with respect to the Development API or Developed Products, Shasun shall provide Alpharma with: (i) an estimate of the development costs; (ii) proposed development schedule which shall include a date, agreed upon by the parties, for the start of Development Activities (the "Development Start Date"); and (iii) such other information as Alpharma may request as may be necessary for Alpharma to evaluate the feasibility of the Development Activities (the "Development Proposal"). Alpharma shall work with Shasun to reach an agreement on the Development Proposal, which, once approved, shall become the binding budget for such development work. Payment of expenses incurred in connection with such Development Activities will be allocated as follows: (1) **** percent (****%) thirty (30) days after ****; (2) **** percent (****%) thirty (30) days after ****; (3) **** percent (****%) thirty (30) days after ****; and (4) **** percent (****%) thirty (30) days after ****.
