ACCESS shall promptly, upon completion of such tests, deliver to WYETH a copy of the record of such tests performed on, and a Certificate of Analysis for, each Batch of Product. ACCESS shall deliver a representative sample from each Batch of Product to WYETH's designated representative by the date reasonably specified by such representative. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, each of the Parties shall execute and deliver the Quality Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C and as mutually agreed to by the parties. Each Party agrees to perform its respective obligations under the Quality Agreement in accordance with such agreement. Prior to shipment, the Product shall be stored at all times in conditions at least as favorable as those set forth on the Product's label, or in accordance with conditions reasonably specified by WYETH. 3.3 Testing by WYETH. WYETH may test the Product samples in accordance with the applicable Methods of Analysis. If the analysis of any Product performed by or for WYETH differs from ACCESS's analysis of the same Batch, WYETH shall advise ACCESS and ACCESS and WYETH agree to consult with each other in order to explain and resolve the discrepancy between each other's determination. If, after good faith attempt by the Parties to do so, such consultation does not resolve the discrepancy, an independent, reputable laboratory as mutually agreed by the Parties shall repeat the applicable Methods of Analysis on representative samples from such Batch provided by both ACCESS and WYETH. The costs of the independent laboratory referred to above shall be borne by (a) WYETH if such laboratory determines that the Product conforms to the Specifications or (b) ACCESS if such laboratory determines that the Product does not conform to the Specifications. If so requested by WYETH in writing, ACCESS shall promptly send a new Batch of the Product (of similar quantity as to the amount of such Product being analyzed as set forth above) to WYETH. WYETH shall not be obligated to pay for any of the Product (and if WYETH has paid for such Product ACCESS shall promptly reimburse WYETH 14 for the cost of replacing such Product, including, without limitation, related costs such as testing and transportation costs) that such laboratory determines does not conform to the Specifications, but shall be obligated to pay for any new Batch of Product that is sent as specified above; provided that WYETH must destroy (and certify destruction of) such non-conforming Product. 3.4 Samples and Record Retention. ACCESS shall retain records and retention samples of each Batch of the Product for at least thirty-eight (38) months after the expiration date of that Batch and shall make the same available to WYETH upon request. Retention samples shall only be destroyed after the required holding period; provided that in the event that WYETH provides written notice to ACCESS during such thirty-eight (38) month period that it desires ACCESS to retain such retention samples for a longer period of time, then ACCESS shall comply with such request until notified by WYETH that the sample need no longer be retained. During and after the Term of this Agreement ACCESS shall reasonably assist WYETH with respect to any complaint, issue or investigation relating to the Product. 3.5 Inspection. ACCESS shall give access to representatives of WYETH, at all reasonable times during regular business hours, to the Facility and any other facility in which Product is Manufactured, tested, packaged and/or stored, and to all Manufacturing records with respect to the Product, for the purpose of inspection. WYETH shall have the right while at any such Facility to inspect and copy (provided that to the extent that such copies constitute ACCESS Confidential Information (or Confidential Information of ACCESS's Third Party Manufacturer) they shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9) records and Regulatory Approvals solely to evaluate work practices and compliance with all applicable FDA and other Regulatory Authority laws and regulations, occupational health and safety, and environmental laws and regulations, GMP and warehousing practices and procedures. The conduct of (or right to conduct) any inspection under this Section 3.5 does not impose upon WYETH responsibility or liability for the operation of the Facility. Such inspection shall be conducted after prior written notice to ACCESS, will be conducted consistently with the WYETH policies and procedures provide to ACCESS as of the Effective Date (and as such policies and procedures are modified and provided in writing to ACCESS from time to time, which modified policies and procedures shall not conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement) and in a manner that is not disruptive to ACCESS's operations, and shall not be more frequent than is reasonable. 3.6 Adverse Drug Experience Reporting. Each Party shall fully, accurately and promptly provide the other Party with all data known to it at any time during the Term of this Agreement or thereafter, which data indicate that any Product is or may be unsafe, lacks utility, or otherwise does not meet the Specifications in accordance with the Adverse Event Reporting Procedures set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto (as the same may be amended from time to time by notice in writing from WYETH to ACCESS; provided that such amendment shall not conflict with any of the provisions of this 15 Agreement). WYETH shall determine whether such information is required to be reported to the FDA and any other Regulatory Authority. 3.7 Recalls and Seizure. 3.7.1 Each Party shall keep the other Party promptly and fully informed of any notification or other information whether received directly or indirectly which might result in the Recall or Seizure of the Product. If either Party determines that it is necessary to Recall any Product, it shall immediately notify the other Party and, prior to commencing any Recall, the Parties shall consult with one another to determine whether or not a Recall is necessary. If it is mutually agreed that a Recall is necessary (or if WYETH determines, in its sole discretion, that a Recall is necessary), then the parties shall meet and determine the manner in which the Recall is to be carried out and review any instructions or suggestions of the applicable Regulatory Authorities. ACCESS and WYETH shall effect the Recall in the manner agreed upon between the Parties in as expeditious a manner as possible and in such a way as to cause the least disruption to the sales of any Product and to preserve the goodwill and reputation associated with the Product. In any such situation, WYETH shall have the right to make all final decisions regarding such Recall. 3.7.2 In the event that a Recall results from any cause or event arising from ACCESS's breach of Sections 2.9, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6. 3.8 or the representations set forth in Sections 6.2.1, 6.2.4 or 6.2.5 and/or the defective Manufacture, storage or handling of the Product by ACCESS (excluding defects relating to packaging or labeling supplied by or prepared at and in accordance with the direction of WYETH), ACCESS shall be responsible for all expenses of the Recall incurred by WYETH and ACCESS shall promptly replace such Product at no additional cost to WYETH consistent with directions received from the appropriate Regulatory Authority.

ACCESS shall not make, nor shall any other Person make, any changes to the Manufacturing process, the Manufacturing equipment, the Specifications, the Materials, the sources of Materials or the Methods of Analysis without the prior written consent of WYETH. If either Party requests in writing a change in the Manufacturing process, the Manufacturing equipment, the Specifications, the Materials, the source of Materials or Methods of Analysis with respect to the Product that is not the result of a requirement of the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority, the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make or accept such change, as the case may be. The requesting Party shall provide the other Party with a detailed written report of all proposed changes to the Manufacturing process, the Manufacturing equipment, the Specifications, the Materials, the sources of Materials or the Methods of Analysis. 4.2 Required Changes. If the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority requests or requires, or takes any action that requires, any change in the Manufacturing process, the Manufacturing equipment, the Specifications, the Materials, the source of Materials or Methods of Analysis with respect to the Product, the Parties shall meet and discuss an implementation plan for such change and use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate as soon as practicable such change to meet the FDA's or such other Regulatory Authority's requirements. Each Party will bear its respective costs associated with, or incurred as a result of, such change. Each Party agrees to promptly forward to the other copies of any written communication received by such Party from the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority that may affect the Manufacture, supply, or distribution of the Product as contemplated herein. 5. PRICE AND PAYMENT 5.1 Price. ACCESS shall invoice WYETH for the Product supplied to WYETH hereunder at the applicable price per Product set forth on Exhibit E. The cost of the Product shall be comprised of four components: Materials, labor, fixed overhead and variable overhead. The cost of each such component will be set forth in Exhibit E within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, and shall remain in effect unless and until the price of the Product is adjusted pursuant to this Article 5. 17 5.2 Price Adjustment. 5.2.1 Commencing on any date in the second Contract Year, ACCESS may adjust the then-current price to reflect documented increases or decreases in labor costs, variable overhead costs or the acquisition cost of Materials per unit of Product at the beginning of the Contract Year in question as compared to the acquisition cost of such labor, variable overhead or Materials per unit of Product at the beginning of the immediately preceding Contract Year; provided that ACCESS gives WYETH not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice of any price increase or decrease and that ACCESS may not increase the price more than once during any Contract Year; and provided, further, that except as provided in Section 5.2.2, any price increase per unit of Product shall not exceed the PPI Adjustment for the Contract Year in question. Until the effective date of such price increase, ACCESS shall supply WYETH such Product at the prices then in effect without such price increase. "PPI Adjustment" means for the Contract Year in question, the amount calculated in accordance with the following formula: MC x PPI - BPPI BPPI Where, MC = the documented labor costs, variable overhead costs and the acquisition cost of all Materials per unit of Product at the beginning of the Contract Year immediately preceding the Contract Year in question; BPPI = the Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer's Price Index for Pharmaceutical Preparations (Code 2834) for the first month of the Contract Year immediately preceding the Contract Year in question; and PPI = the Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer's Price Index for Pharmaceutical Preparations (Code 2834) for the first month of the Contract Year in question. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2.1, there shall be no price increases made due to any increases with respect to the fixed overhead component of the cost of the Product. 5.2.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2.1, in the event of an extraordinary event that results in a documented material increase (with "material increase" meaning, for purposes of this Section 5.2.2, an increase of at least fifteen (15%) percent in the aggregate) in the collective cost of a major component of Manufacturing for the Product (as such components are set forth in Exhibit E) during any annual period after the end of the first Contract Year (an "Extraordinary Event Increase"), ACCESS need not wait until the next annual period to adjust the pricing for the Product. Upon ACCESS's determination that an Extraordinary Event Increase has occurred, ACCESS shall notify WYETH in writing of the applicable price adjustment, together with supporting documentation evidencing such change including without 18 limitation, evidence that ACCESS shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to secure alternative sources of supply for any components or consumables, at lesser costs without detracting from the quality or efficacy of the Product. Any such pricing adjustment will become effective thirty (30) days following the date of ACCESS's written notice thereof. 5.3 Continuous Improvement Price Adjustment. Continuous improvement initiatives, mutually agreeable to the Parties shall be established annually to provide for attempting to achieve continuous cost reductions during the Term hereof. Continuous improvement teams consisting of equal representation from each Party shall use reasonable efforts to work to identify and implement cost savings at a targeted rate of five percent (5%) of WYETH's purchase price per Contract Year. Any documented savings shall be allocated to the Parties in proportion to the level of contribution by each party to realize the savings. Any cost savings allocated to WYETH shall be in the form of reduced purchase price, effective (with respect to any subsequent WYETH purchase orders) immediately upon documentation and allocation of the savings. 5.4 License Payments. During the Term, the license payments set forth in Exhibit F shall be due and payable from WYETH to ACCESS within ten (10) days of the occurrence of the applicable milestone set forth in Exhibit F. 5.5 Royalty Payments.

If, during the Term, in any country in the Territory, (a) another * (other than those containing amlexanox as an active ingredient) for oral pain (excluding sore throat pain) becomes commercially available, which has the same labeling and indications on the Product and which adversely impacts either the sales price or the unit volume by greater than * percent ( * %), or (b) ACCESS exercises its rights under Section 2.2 to convert the exclusive license with respect to a country to a non-exclusive license, then the Royalty with respect to such country shall be immediately reduced to * percent ( * %). Each Royalty will be payable not later than forty-five (45) days following the expiration of each applicable Royalty Period. WYETH shall pay the Royalty with respect to a country that accrues during the Term of this Agreement for so long as the license granted by ACCESS under Section 2.1.1 remains in effect in such country. WYETH will include with each such payment a written report detailing (i) the number of Product units, per country, and the sales price of such Product units by WYETH and its Affiliates; and (ii) Net Sales of the Product during the applicable Royalty Period, all in a manner consistent with WYETH's internal sales reporting. * - Confidential portions have been omitted and are on file separately with the Commission. 19 5.6 Payment.

Subject to Section 5.8.3, if such independent certified public accountant's report shows any overpayment by WYETH, ACCESS shall remit to WYETH within thirty (30) days after ACCESS's receipt of such report, (a) the amount of such overpayment, and (b) if such overpayment exceeds five percent (5%) of the total amount owed for the period then being audited, the reasonable fees and expenses of any independent accountant performing the audit on behalf of WYETH. Subject to Section 5.8.3, if such independent certified public accountant's report shows any underpayment by WYETH, WYETH shall pay to ACCESS within thirty (30) days after WYETH's receipt of such report, the amount of such underpayment. Any audit or inspection conducted under this Agreement by WYETH or its agents or contractors will be subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, and WYETH will be responsible for compliance with such confidentiality provisions by such agents or contractors. 5.8.2 WYETH shall maintain books of account with respect to its sales of the Product in each country in the Territory. ACCESS shall have the right, not more than once during each calendar year, to have an independent accountant selected and retained by ACCESS to inspect and examine such books of WYETH during regular business hours for the purpose of verifying the statements of the aggregate Net Sales resulting from sales of Product and determining the correctness of the Royalties paid.

If, within sixty (60) days after such meeting request, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, either Party may pursue any other available remedy, including, upon prior written notice to the other Party, instituting legal action. 5.9 Late Payments. If any payment due to ACCESS under this Agreement is not received by ACCESS within ten (10) days of the due date, then, commencing from the date on which such payment was due the amount of such payment shall accrue interest calculated at an annual rate equal to the prime rate plus two percent (2%) until such time as payment of the overdue amount is made in full; provided that no interest shall accrue on any amounts being disputed in good faith by WYETH with respect to which WYETH is making diligent and good faith efforts to resolve. 5.10 Currency Exchange.
