PART I
ITEM 1. Business.
- - - - - - - ------ --------
GENERAL
Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. ("PRI") is a holding company which, through
its subsidiaries, is in the business of manufacturing and distributing a broad
line of generic drugs. PRI operates primarily through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Par"), a manufacturer and distributor of
generic drugs. In addition to Par, PRI has seven other subsidiaries, the
activities of which are not significant. PRI was organized, as a subsidiary of
Par, under the laws of the State of New Jersey on August 2, 1991. On August 12,
1991, Par effected a reorganization of its corporate structure, pursuant to
which PRI became Par's parent company. References herein to the "Registrant" or
the "Company" shall be deemed to refer to PRI and all of its subsidiaries since
August 12, 1991, or Par and all of its subsidiaries prior thereto, as the
context may require. The Company's executive offices are located at One Ram
Ridge Road, Spring Valley, New York 10977, and its telephone number is
(914) 425-7100.
The Company's current product line consists of prescription and, to a
much lesser extent, over-the-counter drugs. Approximately 86 products
(representing 34 drugs) are currently being marketed (see "--Product Line
Information"). Generic drugs are the pharmaceutical and therapeutic
equivalents of brand name drugs and are usually marketed under their
generic (chemical) name rather than by a brand name. Normally, a generic
drug cannot be marketed until the expiration of applicable patents on the
brand name drug. Generic drugs must meet the same government standards as
brand name drugs, but are typically sold at prices below those of brand
name drugs.
Issuance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") of new
product approvals had slowed dramatically over the last several years
because of investigations into the generic drug industry and the FDA
approval process. The findings of these investigations led to, and are
expected to continue to lead to, legislative, regulatory, and/or policy
changes to strengthen the effectiveness of the approval process. As a
result, the new drug approval process is more stringent and difficult, as
well as more costly and time-consuming.
The Company markets its products primarily to drug distributors,
wholesalers and retail drug store chains through its own sales staff, which
has been assisted by independent, commissioned sales representatives. The
Company intends to increase its marketing efforts to clinics, government
agencies and other managed health care organizations. The Company has
further developed its internal sales staff in order to lessen its reliance
on outside sales representatives (see "--Recent Developments" and
"--Marketing and Customers").
Recent Developments:
In October 1993, the Company was informed by the FDA that it had
completed the Application Integrity Assessment Program (the "Assessment
Program") for Par and that the FDA would review Abbreviated New Drug
Applications ("ANDAs") submitted by Par for the approval of generic drugs.
Par also became eligible to bid again on government contracts (see
"--Government Regulation" and "Notes to Financial Statements-- Settlements
- - - - - - - --Fiscal Year 1993").
During the first and second quarters of fiscal year 1994, the Company
settled three significant lawsuits against it. These settlements and
related expenses were reflected in the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended October 2, 1993 (See "--Legal
Proceedings", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations--Results of Operations--Settlements" and "Notes
to Financial Statements--Settlements--Fiscal Year 1993").

<PAGE>
The Company expanded its research and development capabilities (see
"--Research and Development" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of Operations--
Operating Expenses--Research and Development"), and as a result, the
Company filed three submissions for ANDAs and expects to file additional
submissions. Additionally, the Company reintroduced Metronidazole, an
anti-bacterial drug, in November 1993, and Indomethacin, an anti-
inflammatory drug, in January 1994 (see "--Product Line Information").
To further expand its product line, the Company, in fiscal year 1994,
entered into several additional distribution agreements, a joint
development agreement and an option agreement to acquire the rights to a
herpes viral lesion drug (see "--Product Line Information", "--Research and
Development" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Results of Operations--Operating
Expenses--Research and Development", "--Financial Condition--Liquidity and
Capital Resources").
The Company completed its strategy to revamp its marketing and sales
organizations by replacing all but one of its outside sales representatives
with its own internal sales force (see "--Marketing and Customers" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Results of Operations--Sales"). The remaining outside sales
representative's role is to provide support to the internal sales
organization. These changes were made as the Company shifted toward
emphasizing Par label sales and reducing its dependence upon private label
sales.
PRODUCT LINE INFORMATION
The Company operates in one industry segment, namely, the manufacture
and distribution of generic pharmaceuticals. Products are marketed
principally in oral solid form consisting of tablets, caplets, and two-
piece hard-shell capsules, and to a lesser extent the Company distributes a
small number of products in the forms of creams and liquids (see
"--Research and Development").
Par holds approved ANDAs for approximately 125 products, representing
various dosage strengths of 48 drugs. In addition, the Company markets
certain products that are manufactured for it by other companies (see
"--Research and Development", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of Operations--
Sales", "--Gross Margins" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Distribution
Agreements"). The Company is currently marketing the 26 manufactured and 8
distributed drugs scheduled below. The names of all of the drugs under the
caption "Competitive Brand-Name Drug" are trademarked. The holders of the
trademarks are non-affiliated, pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Par also holds approved ANDAs for 22 drugs in addition to those listed
above which are not being marketed at the present time. The Company may
introduce some of these drugs into the market.
In September 1994, Mova Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Mova") and the
Company entered into five-year non-exclusive distribution agreements for
two products. The ANDA for the first product, Albuterol Sulfate Syrup,
received FDA approval in September 1994 and the Company has commenced
marketing the product. The Company will pay to Mova a base price for each
product plus a percentage of net profits, as defined in the distribution
agreements (see "--General--Recent Developments", "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of
Operations--Operating Expenses--Research and Development" and "Notes to
Financial Statements--Distribution Agreements").
In February 1994, the Company entered into a ten-year exclusive U.S.
licensing agreement with Sano Corporation ("Sano") for two generic drug
products utilizing a transdermal delivery system (see "--General--Recent
Developments", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations--Results of Operations--Operating Expenses--
Research and Development" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Distribution
Agreements"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company advanced
$1,000,000 to Sano for the development of two products and, after receiving
FDA approval, will market the licensed products and participate in the
sharing of gross profits. The Company renegotiated the agreement in August
to enable the advance to be recovered within three years by obtaining a
greater share of gross profits. As these monies are repaid, they will be
treated as income in the periods received. It is anticipated that ANDAs
could be filed in the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 which would be
expected to result in new products available for sale in late fiscal year
1996, or early fiscal year 1997. In November 1994, the Company advanced an
additional $228,000 to Sano to support research and development expenses
for a third product. The Company also purchased $1,000,000 of Sano
preferred stock.

<PAGE>
In January 1994, the Company entered into a joint development agreement
with Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company ("3M") pursuant to which
the Company will develop, under joint control, several generic versions of
pharmaceutical products. 3M holds all rights respecting any product
developed, and once developed, 3M is obligated to pay certain sums to Par
for the development of, and for the manufacture of, the products (see
"--General--Recent Developments").
In May 1993, the Company was appointed by The Generics Group B.V. (the
"Group"), an international pharmaceutical business, exclusive United States
distributor for up to five generic pharmaceutical products upon receipt of
ANDA approvals (see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Results of Operations--Sales",
"--Gross Margins" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Distribution
Agreements"). ANDA approvals for Alprazolam and Triazolam were received in
October 1993 and January 1994, respectively, and the Company began
distribution of the drugs. The ANDA for Atenolol received FDA approval in
early 1994 and the Company will market the drug in fiscal year 1995. Two
additional products, which will be made available to the Company, have yet
to be designated by the Group. The agreement also contains provisions for
the development of additional generic pharmaceuticals for distribution by
the Company. The Company is obligated to issue a warrant to purchase
150,000 shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") for $10 per
share. The terms of the warrant will be similar to the warrant issued to
Genpharm, Inc. (see below); however, the warrant will become exercisable
only upon reaching certain levels of sales for the distributed products.
The Company, in October 1992, entered into a distribution agreement (see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Results of Operations--Sales", "--Gross Margins" and "Notes to
Financial Statements--Distribution Agreements") with Genpharm, Inc.
("Genpharm"), a Canadian manufacturer of generic drugs (which is an
affiliate of the Group). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is the
exclusive United States distributor of Piroxicam and Pindolol, two products
for which ANDA approvals had already been received. The agreement
has an initial term of ten years (subject to earlier termination by either
party as provided therein), and thereafter automatically renews from year
to year unless either party gives notice of non-renewal. The cost to the
Company of such products is based upon a percentage of gross profits as
defined in the distribution agreement. The Company issued a warrant to the
manufacturer to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock for $6 per share.
The warrant became exercisable in March 1993, has an initial term of five
years (subject to earlier termination in the event the Company ceases to be
Genpharm's exclusive distributor of the products covered by the agreement),
and may be extended for up to an additional five years in the event that
the closing price of Common Stock has not reached levels specified in the
warrant agreement. In March 1994, Genpharm exercised the warrant to
purchase 5,300 shares of Common Stock.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development activities consist of (i)
identifying and conducting patent and market research on brand name drugs
for which patent protection has expired or is to expire, (ii) researching
and developing new product formulations based upon such drugs, and (iii)
obtaining timely approval from the FDA for such new product formulations.
The Company contracts with outside laboratories to conduct biostudies
which, in the case of oral solids, generally are required for FDA approval.
Biostudies are used to demonstrate that the rate and extent of absorption
of a generic drug are not significantly different from the corresponding
brand name drug and currently cost in the range of $75,000 to $300,000 per
study. During the 1994 fiscal year, the Company contracted with outside
laboratories to conduct biostudies for potential new products and will
continue to do so in the future. The Company may also contract with
outside laboratories to conduct clinical studies. Clinical studies test
the safety and/or efficacy of a drug and may cost $1,000,000 or more per
study. To date, the Company has not contracted to conduct any clinical
studies. Biostudies and clinical studies must be conducted and documented
in conformity with FDA standards (see "--Government Regulation").
The research and development of oral solid products, including
preformulation research, formulation, required studies, and FDA approval,
has historically taken approximately two to three years. Accordingly, Par
typically selects for development products it intends to market several
years in the future.

<PAGE>
For its 1994, 1993, and 1992 fiscal years, the research and development
expenses of the Company's continuing operations were approximately
$3,874,000, $1,959,000 and $1,299,000, respectively, reflecting an increase
in research and development activities which began in fiscal year 1993 and
continued in 1994. The Company plans that its expenditures will continue
to increase significantly (see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of Operations--
Operating Expenses--Research and Development").
The Company has obtained from Bio-Pharma, Inc. and CT Holdings SA
(collectively, "Bio-Pharma") an exclusive option to acquire all worldwide
ownership, development, marketing and distribution rights to a
pharmaceutical compound being studied for the treatment of herpes viral
lesions. In exchange for the option, the Company paid $250,000 to date and
agreed to pay $200,000, plus 15,000 shares of Common Stock, on January 1, 1995,
to enable further evaluation of the compound. Additional amounts will be paid
out as various testing stages are completed (see "--General--Recent
Developments" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations--Financial Condition--Liquidity and Capital
Resources"). If the Company chooses to exercise its option, it will be required
to make $3,000,000 cash payments at the time of exercise and pay certain
royalties to Bio-Pharma. Further research on the compound, which can be
delivered topically, will determine whether it can significantly reduce the
healing time of oral and genital herpes lesions. The compound represents the
first new drug that the Company intends to develop commercially for which the
Company would have to file a full New Drug Application ("NDA") (see "--
Government Regulation") to obtain approval from the FDA. The Company intends to
initially seek regulatory approval outside the United States if it exercises its
option.
MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS
The Company currently sells its products primarily through its own sales
staff. The Company also sells through one company that acts as an
independent commissioned sales representative. In 1994, the Company
completed its plans to reduce its dependence upon outside sales
representatives and add additional internal sales personnel. These changes
were part of the strategy of the Company to (i) emphasize sales of products
under the Par label to reduce its dependence upon products under private
(customer) labels and (ii) broaden channels of distribution (see
"--General--Recent Developments" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of Operations
- - - - - - - --Sales"). The Company also reorganized its internal sales, marketing and
customer service departments in 1994.
The Company markets its products under both Par and private labels
principally to distributors, wholesalers, retail drug store chains and, to
a lesser extent, drug manufacturers, repackagers, and government agencies.
The Company has been and will continue to increase its marketing efforts to
the entities concentrating in the managed health care market. These
entities include: nursing homes, hospitals, clinics, pharmacy benefit
management companies and mail order customers.
The Company has approximately 200 customers. During fiscal year 1994,
sales to the Company's two largest customers, Rugby Laboratories, Inc., a
subsidiary of Marion Merrill Dow, Inc., and Goldline Laboratories, Inc., a
subsidiary of Ivax Corporation, amounted to 12% and 10%, respectively, of
net sales. The Company's sales to other customers have increased during
the last two years, resulting in a steady decline in the percentages of
these two customers. Management anticipates that its strategy to penetrate
targeted markets and the broadening of its product line will continue to
result in a reduction of the percentages of sales attributable to these two
customers in future years (see "Notes to Financial Statements Accounts
Receivable Major Customers"). Neither of such customers has written
agreements with the Company. The Company believes that the loss of any of
its major customers may have an adverse effect upon its business.
ORDER BACKLOG
The dollar amount of open orders, as of October 1, 1994, believed
by management to be firm, was approximately $9,900,000, as compared with
approximately $7,600,000 at October 2, 1993. The 30% increase in open
orders is primarily attributable to price increases for two products and
significant volume increases for
5
<PAGE>
four products. Although these orders are subject to cancellation without
penalty, management expects to fill substantially all of them in the near
future. The Company has orders for shipments for its customers which are
consistent with the seasonal purchasing patterns of its customers.
COMPETITION
The generic pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. The Company
has been able to identify at least ten principal competitors, and
experiences varying degrees of competition from numerous other companies in
the health care industry. The Company's competitors include many generic
drug manufacturers and a number of major branded pharmaceutical companies
which, as part of their business, market both brand-name prescription drugs
and generic versions of these brand-name drugs.
Many major branded pharmaceutical companies have directly launched, or
have formed alliances to market, their patented drugs prior to patent
expiration as generic drugs. This competitive effort has had a negative
impact on the ability of the Company to sell to its customers and to
generate customary revenues from the launch of its new products, as the
channel of distribution is either closed or severely limited or the Company
is forced to meet lower market pricing.
The principal competitive factors in the generic pharmaceutical market
are (i) level of service (including maintenance of sufficient inventories
for timely deliveries), (ii) reputation as a manufacturer with integrity
and quality products, (iii) the ability to introduce generic versions of
brand-name drugs promptly after their patents expire, (iv) price, (v)
product appearance, and (vi) breadth of product line. In the future, the
Company plans to expend more effort and resources, including financial, in
the areas of marketing and research and development to better its
competitive position in the industry.
RAW MATERIALS
The raw materials essential to the Company's business are purchased
primarily from United States distributors of bulk pharmaceutical chemicals
manufactured by foreign companies. To date, the Company has experienced no
significant difficulty in obtaining raw materials and expects that raw
materials will generally continue to be readily available in the future.
However, since the federal drug application process requires specification
of raw material suppliers, if raw materials from a specified supplier were
to become unavailable, FDA approval of a new supplier would be required.
While a new supplier becomes qualified by the FDA and its manufacturing
process is judged to meet FDA standards, a delay of six months or more in
the manufacture and marketing of the drug involved could result, which
could in turn have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.
The Company attempts to minimize the effects of any such situation by
specifying, where possible, two or more suppliers for its drug approvals.
EMPLOYEES
As of October 1, 1994, the Company had approximately 430 employees.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
All pharmaceutical manufacturers are subject to extensive regulation by
the Federal government, principally by the FDA, and, to a lesser extent, by
the Drug Enforcement Administration and state governments. The Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act, and other
Federal statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing,
manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, approval,
advertising and promotion of the Company's products. Noncompliance with
applicable requirements can result in judicially and/or administratively
imposed sanctions including the initiation of product seizures, injunction
actions, fines and criminal prosecutions. Administrative enforcement
measures can involve the recall of products, as well as the refusal of the
government to enter into supply contracts or to approve new drug
applications. The FDA also has the authority to withdraw approval of drugs
in accordance with regulatory due process procedures.
FDA approval is required before any new drug, including a generic
equivalent of a previously approved drug, can be marketed. To obtain FDA
approval for a new drug, a prospective manufacturer must, among other
6
<PAGE>
things, demonstrate that its manufacturing facilities comply with the FDA's
good manufacturing practice ("GMP") regulations. The FDA may inspect the
manufacturer's facilities to assure such compliance prior to approval or at
any other reasonable time. GMP regulations must be followed at all times
during the manufacture and other processing of drugs. To comply with the
standards set forth in these regulations, the Company must continue to
expend significant time, money and effort in the areas of production,
quality control and quality assurance.
To obtain FDA approval of a new drug, a manufacturer must demonstrate,
among other requirements, the safety and effectiveness of the proposed
drug. There are currently three basic ways to satisfy the FDA's safety and
effectiveness requirements:
1. New Drug Applications ("NDA" or "full NDA"): Unless either of the
procedures discussed in paragraphs 2 and 3 below is available, a
prospective manufacturer must submit to the FDA full reports of well-
controlled clinical studies and other data to prove that a drug is
safe and effective and meets other requirements for approval.
2. "Paper" NDAs: In certain instances in the past, the FDA permitted
safety and effectiveness to be shown by submission of published
literature and journal articles in a so-called "paper" NDA. As a
result of passage of the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (the "Waxman-Hatch Act"), "paper" NDAs are
now recognized in the statute, although they are infrequently used
because of the lack of sufficient information in the literature on
the majority of drugs.
3. Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDAs"): The Waxman-Hatch Act
established a statutory procedure for submission and FDA review and
approval of ANDAs for generic versions of drugs previously approved
by the FDA (such previously approved drugs are hereinafter referred
to as "listed drugs"). In place of clinical studies to establish the
generic drug's safety and effectiveness, an ANDA applicant typically
is required to submit bioavailability data generated from biostudies
demonstrating that the proposed product is bioequivalent to the
listed drug. Bioavailability data indicate the rate and extent of
absorption of a drug's active ingredient and its availability at the
site of drug action, typically measured through blood levels. A
generic drug usually is deemed to be bioequivalent to the listed drug
if the rate and extent of absorption of the generic drug are not
significantly different from those of the listed drug. For some drugs
(e.g., topical antifungals), other means of demonstrating
bioequivalence may be required by the FDA, especially where rate
and/or extent of absorption are difficult or impossible to measure.
In addition to the bioequivalence data, an ANDA must contain
virtually all other information required of a full NDA (e.g.,
chemistry, manufacturing, labeling, and stability data).
The Waxman-Hatch Act also established certain statutory protections for
listed drugs. Under the Waxman-Hatch Act, an ANDA for a generic drug may
be approved, but such approval may not be made effective for interstate
marketing until all relevant patents for the listed drug have expired or
been determined to be invalid or not infringed by the generic drug. Prior
to enactment of the Waxman-Hatch Act, the FDA did not consider the patent
status of a previously approved drug. In addition, under the Waxman-Hatch
Act, statutory non-patent exclusivity periods are established following
approval of certain listed drugs, where specific criteria are met by the
drug. If exclusivity is applicable to a particular listed drug, the
effective date of approval of ANDAs (and, in at least one case, submission
of an ANDA) for the generic version of the listed drug is usually delayed
until the expiration of the exclusivity period, which, for newly approved
drugs, can be either three or five years. The Waxman-Hatch Act also
provides for extensions of up to five years of certain patents covering
drugs to compensate the patent holder for reduction of the effective market
life of the patented drug resulting from the time involved in the Federal
regulatory review process.
In addition to the Federal government, states have laws regulating the
manufacture and distribution of pharmaceuticals, as well as regulations
dealing with the substitution of generic for brand-name drugs. The
Company's operations are also subject to regulation, licensure and
inspection by the states in which they are located and/or do business.
The Company also is governed by Federal and state laws of general
applicability, including laws regulating matters of environmental quality,
working conditions, and equal employment opportunity.

<PAGE>
The Federal government made significant changes to Medicaid drug
reimbursement as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990
("OBRA"). Generally, OBRA provides that a generic drug manufacturer must
offer the states an 11% rebate on drugs dispensed under the Medicaid
program and must have entered into a formal drug rebate agreement, as the
Company has, with the Federal Health Care Financing Administration.
Although not required under OBRA, the Company has also entered into similar
state agreements.
In October 1993, the Company was informed by the FDA that it had
completed the Assessment Program for Par and that the FDA would review
applications submitted by Par for the approval of generic drugs (see "--
General--Recent Developments" and "Notes to Financial Statements --
Settlements -- Fiscal Year 1993"). The Assessment Program was initiated as
a result of investigations by the Federal government in 1989 resulting in
guilty pleas by Par and by certain former executives of Par to charges of
providing an unlawful gratuity to a public official. The FDA stopped
reviewing applications submitted by Par for review pending the completion
of the Assessment Program with respect to Par's approved ANDAs. The
Assessment Program was directed, among other things, towards (i) reviewing
the conclusions reached by Par's independent regulatory consultant in its
audits of Par's product development activities and recordkeeping systems
and (ii) assessing any other available, relevant information that might
bear on Par's ANDAs. As a result of the completion of the Assessment
Program, Par became eligible to again bid on government contracts without
previous limitations.
The Company received a warning letter in May 1994 from the FDA setting
forth certain alleged deviations from current GMP regulations and alleged
violations of related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act. The warning letter does not limit the manufacture of the Company's
product line nor suspend the review and approval of applications pending
at the FDA. The FDA indicated that it will shortly complete its review of
the Company's response and that a mutually amenable working relationship
continues between the FDA and the Company. No assurances can be given that
the outcome of the FDA review will not have a material adverse effect upon
the Company (see "Notes to Financial Statements--Contingencies and Other
Matters--Legal Proceedings").
ITEM 2. Properties.
- - - - - - - ------ ----------
The Company's executive offices and a substantial portion of its
research and production facilities are housed in a 92,000 square foot
facility built to Par's specifications and occupied since fiscal 1986.
This building also includes research and quality control laboratories, as
well as packaging and warehouse facilities. The building is located in
Chestnut Ridge, New York, on a parcel of land of approximately 24 acres, of
which approximately 15 acres are available for future expansion. The
purchase of the land, facility and equipment was financed, in part, by
Industrial Development Bonds issued by the County of Rockland Industrial
Development Agency in October 1984. The real estate and certain equipment
serve as collateral for the bond (see "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Financial Condition--
Financing" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Long Term Debt").
The Company purchased, in fiscal year 1994, a 36,000 square foot
building on 2 acres of land in Chestnut Ridge, New York, across the street
from its main building. Fifty percent of this facility had previously been
leased by the Company and used for office space. The purchase of the land
and building was financed by a mortgage loan (see "Management's Discussion

Par owns a third facility consisting of six acres of land and a 33,000
square foot building located in Congers, New York, which is used for tablet
coating operations and product manufacturing. The purchase of the facility
and related renovations and equipment were financed in full by term loans.
The real estate, equipment and other assets serve as collateral for the
loans (see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Financial Condition--Financing" and "Notes to
Financial Statements--Long Term Debt").
Par leases an 11,000 square foot facility in Upper Saddle River, New
Jersey, for certain of its manufacturing operations. The lease covering
this facility expires November 1998, and has three two-year renewal
options. Par also occupies, as lessee, office, warehouse and research and
development space in Chestnut Ridge, New York, aggregating approximately
77,000 square feet, under a lease expiring December
8
<PAGE>
1997, with three five-year extension options (see "Notes to Financial
Statements--Commitments--Leases").
The Company believes that its owned and leased properties are sufficient
in size, scope and nature to meet its anticipated needs for the reasonably
foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.
- - - - - - - ------ -----------------
The Company is involved in certain litigation matters, including certain
product liability actions, incidental to the conduct of its business, but
does not believe that the ultimate resolution thereof will have a material
effect on its financial condition.
In fiscal year 1994, the Company settled several significant litigation
matters which are reflected in fiscal 1993 financial statements (see
"Business--General--Recent Developments", "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of
Operations--Settlements" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Settlements--
Fiscal Year 1993").
The Company is a plaintiff in several proceedings against former
management members, seeking recovery of, among other things, salaries and
amounts paid for indemnification, in connection with their actions as
former managers of Par. The Company is seeking unspecified damages.
Although the Company is vigorously pursuing such claims, there is no
assurance that the Company will recover any amounts or that any recoveries
will be material (see "Notes to Financial Statements--Contingencies and
Other Matters").

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales
Net sales of manufactured products for the year ended October 1, 1994
increased by $1,878,000, or 3%, to $59,118,000, while net sales of
distributed product decreased $7,244,000, or 42%, from the $17,295,000
achieved in fiscal year 1993, resulting in total net sales declining
$5,366,000, or 7%, to $69,169,000. Sales of manufactured products
increased primarily due to price increases for several products and
decreased competition for one product. Dollar sales of distributed
products were reduced principally as a result of intense price competition
while the unit volume increased significantly as two products were
introduced. To achieve a long term strategy of increasing market share,
the Company, in fiscal year 1994, undertook to (i) increase its
manufacturing capacity over time as sales grow, (ii) add distribution
arrangements to broaden its product line, and (iii) restructure its
marketing and sales efforts by hiring its own sales force to penetrate
additional channels of distribution. The table below summarizes net sales
derived from the Company's manufacturing and distribution activities
(dollars in thousands).

Manufacturing activities $59,118 85% $57,240 77%
Distribution activities $10,051 15% $17,295 23%
</TABLE>
Sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 were $17,792,000, an
increase of 16% or $2,443,000, from the $15,349,000 for the fourth quarter
fiscal of 1993. This growth was a result of the successful implementation
of the Company's plan to (i) increase the quality of service to its
customers, and (ii) change its marketing and sales organizations. The
sales growth was also the principal reason for the increase in the dollar
amount of accounts receivable at fiscal year end, $9,347,000, as compared
to $6,856,000 at the prior fiscal year end.
Sales for the year ended October 2, 1993 of $74,535,000 increased
$22,042,000, or 42%, from the year ended October 3, 1992, primarily as a
result of the introduction of two products under distribution agreements.
Increases in sales are principally dependent on, among other things (i)
successful approval of ANDAs, (ii) continued introduction of distributed
product, (iii) increased market penetration of the existing product
line, (iv) reintroduction of previously manufactured product, and (v) the
level of customer service.
Gross Margins
The Company's gross margin for the year ended October 1, 1994 was
$23,395,000 (34% of net sales) compared to $26,148,000 (35% of net sales)
for the prior fiscal year. The manufactured product gross margin of
$21,648,000, or 37% of net sales, was $770,000 less than the $22,418,000,
or 39% of net sales, achieved last year. Current year margin was affected
by the loss of a major customer for Ibuprofen, which resulted in
unfavorable overhead absorption for the year. The Company has been
successful in securing new customer sales to replace the lost business, and
the level of underabsorbed overhead has been steadily declining. The gross
margin percentages derived from distribution activities were only 17% of
net sales due principally to the intense price competition versus 22% of
net sales in fiscal year 1993.
The gross margin for the quarter ended October 1, 1994 increased
$783,000 to $6,229,000 (35% of net sales) from the $5,446,000 (35% of net
sales) recorded in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Both gross margins and sales have been negatively impacted recently by
the trend of major branded pharmaceutical companies to directly launch
their patented drugs as generics prior to patent expiration. This added
competition has had a negative impact on the Company's sales and margins as
distribution channels are either closed or severely limited and the Company
lowers its prices in response to these additional competitive pressures.
12
<PAGE>
Inventory allowances, which have the effect of reducing gross margins,
amounted to $1,333,000, or 2% of net sales, for the year ended October 1,
1994 as compared to $1,732,000, or 2% of net sales, in the prior year.
Inventory allowances are related to manufacturing operations and are taken
in the normal course of business.
To properly service its customer base, the Company is required to sell a
breadth of product and it is often necessary to sell certain products at
little or no margin in order to balance the products offered to customers.
These products, as a result of changes in market conditions, may at a
future time become primary contributors to gross margin and therefore
remain in the current product line. During fiscal year 1994, three of the
Company's products accounted for approximately 46% of its net sales and
yielded the substantial portion of the gross margin of the Company, with
one of such products representing a substantial portion of both net sales
and gross margin. There can be no assurances that these products will
continue to provide such significant, or even similar, portions of the
Company's net sales and/or gross margin or that, if they fail to do so,
another product or other products will adequately offset any decline(s)
thereof. While the Company has no present expectation thereof, there can
be no assurance that other new and/or different Company products will not,
in the future, provide at least the above percentages of the Company's net
sales and/or gross margin (see "Business--Product Line Information").
Gross margin in fiscal year 1993 increased $6,103,000 from $20,045,000
(38% of net sales) in 1992 primarily as a result of increased sales in
1993. The lower gross margin percentage in fiscal year 1993 was primarily
the result of a less favorable product sales mix.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
For the year ended October 1, 1994, research and development costs
increased $1,915,000, or 98%, to $3,874,000 from the prior fiscal year, and
as a percentage of net sales were 6% compared to 3% in the prior year as
management continued investment in research and development efforts to
position the Company for future growth. These expenditures are expected to
increase further in fiscal year 1995. In fiscal 1993, research and
development costs increased $660,000, or 51%, to $1,959,000 as management
anticipated receiving FDA clearance for the Assessment Program and
commenced reinvesting significant amounts in research and development. In
addition, the Company continued to pursue alternatives to its internal
product development efforts, such as joint ventures, licensing and
distribution agreements (see "Business--General--Recent Developments", "--
Research and Development", "--Financial Condition--Liquidity and Capital
Resources" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Distribution Agreements").
There can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative costs for the fiscal year ended
October 1, 1994 increased 6% to $13,463,000 (19% of net sales) from
$12,673,000 (17% of net sales) for the year ended October 2, 1993. The
increase for the year was primarily attributable to higher consulting and
information systems costs. Although management expects the dollar
amounts of selling, general and administrative costs to continue to
increase, they are expected to remain constant as a percent of sales.
Selling, general and administrative costs for the year ended October 2,
1993 increased $1,187,000, or 10%, from $11,486,000 (22% of net sales) in
fiscal year 1992. The increase was due to higher personnel, consulting and
royalty costs, partially offset by an insurance settlement and an
adjustment to outside selling commissions.
Interest
Interest expense decreased $137,000, or 23%, to $465,000 in the current
fiscal year and remained at 1% of net sales as a result of lower interest
rates on the outstanding debt and the reduction of total debt (see "--
Financial Condition--Financing" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Long
Term Debt").
13
<PAGE>
Settlements
In fiscal year 1994, the Company settled three lawsuits against it by
3M, United States Trading Corporation, and Mylan Laboratories, Inc. for an
aggregate of $10,500,000 which was reflected in fiscal 1993 financial
statements (see "Business--General--Recent Developments", "Legal
Proceedings" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Settlements--Fiscal Year
1993"). With the settlement of these actions, the Company resolved all of
the significant litigation against it. While the Company has settled such
lawsuits and other regulatory proceedings, there can be no assurance that
other lawsuits or proceedings will not be instituted against it in respect
of the actions of the prior management of Par. Such lawsuits or
proceedings, if any, could have an adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and operations.
Fiscal year 1992 included a charge of $230,000 which represented a civil
fine the Company paid to the State of New York (see "Notes to Financial
Statements--Settlements--Fiscal Year 1992").
Income Taxes
At October 1, 1994, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
tax purposes of approximately $40,000,000 (see "Notes to Financial
Statements--Income Taxes"). In fiscal year 1994, the Company adopted
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes" ("FAS
109"), resulting in income of $14,128,000 which is reflected as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the financial
statements. Significant portions of the income recognized consist of net
operating loss carryforwards and have been included to the extent that the
realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
The Company has retained special tax counsel and is contesting the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") position that certain credits taken by it
for research activities are not permitted. In the event a determination is
made that the Company was not entitled to such credits, a reserve of
approximately $1,000,000 was provided upon implementation of FAS 109. The
Company believes that any such disallowance, and the resultant charge,
would not have any material adverse effect on the Company's operations,
liquidity or cash flow.
Discontinued Operations
In fiscal year 1994, the Company completed the disposition of Quad
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Quad") when its building leases were terminated.
As a result of these terminations, the Company was able to reverse
approximately $466,000 of expenses previously charged as losses (see "Notes
to Financial Statements--Discontinued Operations").
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had working capital of $19,732,000 at October 1, 1994,
representing an increase of $6,591,000 from the prior fiscal year as a
result of reductions in legal settlement liabilities, increases in
receivables and inventories, and the addition of current deferred tax
benefits. The working capital ratio at the current year end was 2.4:1, as
compared to 1.6:1 for the prior fiscal year end. Cash and cash equivalents
and temporary investments aggregated $3,306,000 at October 1, 1994.
The Company experienced a reduction from the prior year in cash and cash
equivalents and temporary investments amounting to $10,007,000. Cash was
used primarily to (i) pay for legal settlements, (ii) invest in property,
plant and equipment, (iii) build inventories to continue to improve
customer service, (iv) support the increase in receivables, and (v) invest
in a pharmaceutical company which may provide product for the Company (see
"Business--Product Line Information" and "Notes to Financial Statements--
Distribution Agreements").
The increase in cash and cash equivalents in fiscal year 1993 stemmed
from cash from operations partially offset by capital expenditures, debt
reductions and discontinued operations.
14
<PAGE>
The Company's obligations, in the short term, to fund research and
development under various option and joint development agreements are not
expected to have a material effect upon cash flow or liquidity. With
regard to the exclusive option from Bio-Pharma, the Company paid $250,000
to date, and agreed to pay $200,000, plus 15,000 shares of Common Stock, on
January 1, 1995, to enable further evaluation of the compound. Additional
amounts will be paid out as various testing stages are completed. If it
exercises its option (see "Business--Research and Development"), under the Bio-
Pharma option agreement, it will be required to pay $3,000,000 and incur
significant additional expenses for the necessary clinical trials and bio-
studies in order to file a NDA with the FDA. If the Company incurs such capital
commitments, or if it incurs additional funding obligations under similar
agreements which it may enter into in the future, the Company expects to fund
any obligations with cash provided by operations to the extent such cash is
available. In the absence of sufficient cash from operations, the Company may be
required to seek funds from other sources.
The Company is currently exploring various possible strategic business
transactions designed to strengthen and expand its operations, including
joint ventures, equity infusions by third parties and business
combinations. If the Company were to consummate any such strategic
transaction, it could have a material effect on the Company's operations
and/or financial condition. There can be no assurances that any such
transaction will be effected in the reasonably foreseeable future or, if a
transaction is effected, what the terms and conditions thereof would be.
While it is anticipated that operating activities during fiscal year
1995 will generate cash, the Company expects to expend significant funds
for increased research and development efforts (see "--Results of
Operations--Operating Expenses--Research and Development") and further
capital improvements. Although the Company expects its cash on hand and
cash to be generated from operating activities to be sufficient to fund its
operations, research and development efforts, and capital expenditures, it
obtained an intermediate term bank financing to help ensure implementation
of its plans (see "--Financing" and "Notes to Financial Statements--Long
Term Debt").
The operations of Quad were discontinued in 1991 and it conducts no
business (see" --Results of Operations--Discontinued Operations" and "Notes
to Financial Statements--Discontinued Operations"). The Company does not
expect there to be any Quad activities requiring cash outlays in the
future. Quad has liabilities totalling approximately $2,844,000, which are
reflected on the Company's October 1, 1994 consolidated balance sheet and
has virtually no assets with which to satisfy such liabilities. These
liabilities, although reflected on the Company's consolidated balance
sheets, are not expected to have any material impact upon the Company's
cash flow or liquidity because they are direct obligations of Quad and the
Company believes that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries (other than
Quad) have any obligation to satisfy the liabilities.
Financing
At October 1, 1994, the Company's debt of $6,743,000 is on a long-term
basis, due to two banks, of which $5,766,000 is scheduled to be repaid in
monthly installments through fiscal 1999. The Company recently revised and
extended its $7,000,000 revolving credit facility with one bank which now
expires no earlier than March 1996. At October 1, 1994, no borrowings were
outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company and the same
bank have also entered into a $4,000,000 term loan facility for capital
expenditures, which may be borrowed during the first half of fiscal 1995
(see "Notes to Financial Statements--Long Term Debt"). The new term loan
and the existing term loans, which are from the same bank, are secured. In
May, the Company borrowed, from another bank, $1,340,000 through a seven-
year mortgage to purchase a building (see "Properties" and "Notes to
Financial Statements--Long Term Debt"). At this second bank, $196,000 is
also outstanding under a $250,000 line of credit which is utilized to
acquire equipment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc.
Spring Valley, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries as at October 1, 1994 and
October 2, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
retained earnings (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended October 1, 1994. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries at October 1, 1994 and
October 2, 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 1, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PHARMACEUTICAL RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 1, 1994
Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. ("PRI") operates in one business segment,
the manufacture and distribution of generic pharmaceuticals. Marketed
products are principally in oral solid (tablet, caplet, and capsule) form,
with a small number of products in the form of creams and liquids.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PRI and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Par"), and seven
others, the activities of which are not significant. References herein to
the "Company" refer to PRI and its subsidiaries.
Temporary Investments:
Investments are stated at the lower of cost or market value. These
investments are classified as "available for sale securities" pursuant to
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis)
or market value.
Depreciation and Amortization:
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated straight-line over their
estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease.
Research and Development:
Research and development expenses represent costs incurred by the
Company to develop new products and obtain premarketing regulatory approval
for such products. All such costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes:
Deferred income taxes are provided for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Business tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to
the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue at the time it ships product and it
provides for returns and allowances based upon actual subsequent allowances
and historical trends.
Per Share Data:
Per share data is based upon the weighted average number of common
shares and equivalents outstanding. For purposes of per share data, the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is considered to be a common stock
equivalent. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants is
computed using the "treasury stock" method.
Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid money market instruments to be cash equivalents. At October
1, 1994, cash equivalents were deposited in a financial institution and
consisted of immediately available fund balances.

PHARMACEUTICAL RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
October 1, 1994
Concentration of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit
risk consist of trade receivables and interest-bearing investments. The
Company markets its products primarily to domestic distributors,
wholesalers and retail drug store chains. The risk associated with this
concentration is believed by the Company to be limited due to the large
number of distributors, wholesalers, and drug store chains, their
geographic dispersion and the performance of certain credit evaluation
procedures (see "Accounts Receivable-Major Customers" ).
Discontinued Operations:
In July 1992, Quad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Quad"), a wholly owned
subsidiary, sold its manufacturing facility, the adjoining real property,
and certain fixtures related to the facility having a carrying amount of
approximately $1,900,000 in the aggregate, to an unrelated company for
approximately $3,600,000, resulting in a net gain of $1,696,000.
In March 1994, the Company completed the disposition of Quad, and, as a
result, has reversed estimated operating losses by $466,000.
The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been
classified on the balance sheet as such to separately identify them. Quad
has virtually no assets with which to satisfy such liabilities. These
liabilities, although reflected on the Company's consolidated balance
sheets, are not expected to have any material impact upon the Company's

Settlements:
Fiscal Year 1993:
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Settlement:
The Company, in January 1994, reached a settlement agreement with
Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Company ("3M") and its subsidiary Riker
Laboratories, Inc. ("Riker", collectively with 3M, "3M/Riker"). The
settlement was reflected in fiscal year 1993 results of operations. In
fiscal year 1994, in accordance with the terms of the settlement,
the Company paid 3M/Riker approximately $5,000,000 in cash and issued
119,500 shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"). The
lawsuit brought in 1993 by 3M/Riker against Par stemmed from actions
occurring during the tenure of prior management at Par. 3M/Riker alleged
that Par improperly obtained United States Food and Drug Administration
(the "FDA") approvals by bribing FDA officials and submitting false
information to the FDA, as a result of which 3M/Riker claimed to have
suffered competitive injury in an amount up to $24,000,000.

U.S. Trading Settlement:
In December 1993, the Company and United States Trading Corporation
("UST") settled their respective suits. This settlement was also reflected
in fiscal year 1993 results of operations. In fiscal year 1994, in
accordance with the terms of the settlement, the Company paid $250,000 in
cash and issued $250,000 in merchandise credit to UST. The lawsuit stemmed
from actions occurring during the tenure of prior management at Par.
Mylan Settlement:
In November 1993, the Company reached a settlement agreement with
Mylan Laboratories, Inc. ("Mylan") with respect to a lawsuit brought in
1989 by Mylan against Par, Quad and others. This settlement was reflected
in fiscal year 1993 results of operations. In fiscal year 1994, in
accordance with the terms of the settlement, the Company paid Mylan
$1,000,000 in cash and issued it approximately 111,000 shares of Common
Stock. The lawsuit stemmed from actions occurring during the tenure of
prior management at Par. Mylan alleged that two of the Company's
subsidiaries improperly obtained FDA approvals by bribing FDA officials and
submitting false information to the FDA, as a result of which Mylan claimed
to have suffered competitive injury in an amount of up to $600,000,000.
Application Integrity Assessment Program:
In October 1993, the Company was informed by the FDA that it had
completed the Application Integrity Assessment Program (the "Assessment
Program") for Par and that the FDA would review Abbreviated New Drug
Applications ("ANDAs") submitted by Par for the approval of generic drugs.
In addition, the Company became eligible to again bid on government
contracts, without previous limitation. The Assessment Program was
initiated as a result of investigations by the Federal government in 1989
resulting in guilty pleas by Par and by certain former executives of Par to
charges of providing an unlawful gratuity to a public official.
Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance Settlement:
In September 1993, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the
former insurance carrier of its directors' and officers' liability policy
pursuant to which the Company, in exchange for $650,000, settled all claims
against the insurer. The Company's claims were for the advancement and
payment of legal expenses and settlement costs on behalf of former officers
and directors relating to shareholder litigation.
Fiscal Year 1992:
United States Defense Logistics Agency:
In June 1992, the Company entered into an agreement with the United
States Defense Logistics Agency under which Par is regarded by the Defense
Department as eligible to contract with the Federal government. The
agreement ended both Par's suspension and proposed debarment from Federal
government contracting and allowed Par to actively seek to sell products to
the Federal government and agencies thereof.
New York State Manufacturing License:
In May 1992, the Company consented to an order by the Board of Regents
of the State of New York under which the State terminated a proposed
disciplinary proceeding against Par and regarded Par as fully responsible
to continue to be registered as a pharmaceutical manufacturer in the State
of New York. Pursuant to the consent order, Par agreed to pay a civil fine
of $230,000 to the State over a period of 30 months, and to be on probation
for three years. Since entering into this settlement, New York has issued
three-year renewal licenses to Par for its two manufacturing facilities
located in New York.
Temporary Investments:
Investments include certificates of deposit of $176,000 in fiscal year
1994 and $1,179,000 in fiscal year 1993 consisting of a treasury note of
$1,009,000 and a certificate of deposit of $170,000.

pharmaceutical company. Under the September 1994 Agreements, the Company
was appointed as the distributor of the two generic pharmaceuticals to be
developed and manufactured by Mova once they are approved by the FDA. The
first product received FDA approval in September 1994, and the Company has
commenced marketing the product. The distribution agreements cover five
year periods commencing with the FDA approval of the respective product.
The Company will pay to Mova a base price for each product plus a
percentage of net profits as defined in the September 1994 Agreements.

In February 1994, the Company entered into an agreement (the "February
1994 Agreement") with Sano Corporation ("Sano"), a domestic pharmaceutical
company which is developing generic drug transdermal delivery systems.
Under the agreement, Par became the exclusive United States distributor for
two products which Sano is developing (subsequent to fiscal year end 1994,
the Company exercised one of three options for an additional product). It
is planned that ANDAs for the initial two products will be filed in the
second quarter of fiscal 1995. The agreement has a term of ten years
(subject to earlier termination by either party) and thereafter,
automatically renews from year to year unless either party provides notice
of non-renewal. Once the Company commences to distribute the product, it
will make payments based upon a percentage of gross profits to Sano.
The Company advanced $1,000,000 to Sano in fiscal year 1994 as payment
for research and development costs for the initial two products. The
Company renegotiated the agreement to enable the advance to be recovered
within three years by obtaining a greater share of gross profits. As this
advance is repaid, it will be treated as income in the periods received.
In November, an additional $228,000 was advanced for the third product.
Additionally, the Company made a long term investment by purchasing
$1,000,000 of Sano Series D Preferred Stock (issued through a private
placement). The investment is classified as an "available for sale
security" pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards No. 115.
In May 1993, the Company was appointed by The Generics Group B.V. (the
"Group"), an international pharmaceutical business, as the exclusive United
States distributor of up to five generic pharmaceuticals to be manufactured
by the Group's affiliates pending approval by the FDA (the "May 1993
Agreement"). ANDA approvals for Alprazolam, Triazolam, and Atenolol were
received in fiscal year 1994 and the Company began distributing Alprazolam
and Triazolam. Two additional drugs, which will be made available to the
Company for distribution, have yet to be designated by the Group. The May
1993 Agreement also contains provisions for the development by the Group of
additional generic pharmaceuticals for distribution by the Company. Under
the May 1993 Agreement, the Company is obligated to issue a warrant to
purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock for $10 per share. The terms of
the warrant will be similar to the warrant issued pursuant to the October
1992 Agreement (see below); however, the warrant to be granted under the
May 1993 Agreement will become exercisable only upon reaching certain
levels of sales for the distributed products.
In October 1992, the Company entered into an agreement (the "October
1992 Agreement") with Genpharm Inc. ("Genpharm"), a Canadian manufacturer
of generic pharmaceuticals (which is an affiliate of the Group) under
which Par became the exclusive United States distributor of two of
Genpharm's pharmaceutical products, Piroxicam and Pindolol. The agreement
has an initial term of ten years (subject to earlier termination by either
party as provided therein), and thereafter automatically renews from year
to year unless either party gives notice of non-renewal. The cost to the
Company of such products is based upon a percentage of gross profits as
defined in the October 1992 Agreement. In connection with the October 1992
Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to Genpharm to purchase 150,000
shares of PRI's common stock for $6 per share. The warrant became
exercisable in March 1993, has an initial term of five years (subject to
earlier termination in the event the Company ceases to be Genpharm's
exclusive distributor of the products covered by the October 1992
Agreement), and may be extended for up to an additional five years in the
event that the closing price of Common Stock has not reached levels
specified in the warrant agreement. In fiscal year 1994, the warrant was
exercised to purchase 5,300 shares of Common Stock.
Long Term Debt:
Under an agreement entered into in 1992 concerning two term loans and a
$7,000,000 revolving credit facility, all of which were collateralized by
the assets of the Company, the bank had the ability to demand prepayment of
the long-term debt in an amount equal to fifty percent of excess cash
flows, as defined, up to $500,000 per year. The bank waived its right to
demand this prepayment for the 1994 and 1993 fiscal years.

In December 1993, the Company and the bank agreed to (i) reduce the
interest rates on the term loans and the $7,000,000 revolving credit to the
prime rate, (ii) eliminate the facility fee, (iii) reduce the committment
fee on unused balances to 1/4 of 1%, and (iv) make the revolving credit
facility unsecured. Additionally, the agreements permitted a portion of
earnings to be paid as dividends on common stock.
The Company, in May 1994, borrowed $1,340,000 under a seven-year 8.5%
fixed rate (the rate will be readjusted in 1999) mortgage loan from another
bank to purchase a building.

(a) The bond bears interest at 70% of the prime rate, subject to
adjustment based on subsequent changes in tax laws, and is repayable
in monthly installments into 1999.
(b) All of these loans, except the mortgage loan for which the rate is

(c) Primarily represents the balance of the settlement reached by the
U.S. Attorney of an investigation in 1991, which balance was paid in
the first quarter of fiscal year 1995.
In November 1994, the Company and the bank formalized the arrangement
reached in December 1993, and entered into a new term loan agreement, revised
its revolving credit agreement, and renewed and amended the two existing term
loan agreements. The new term loan agreement will provide up to $4,000,000 for
capital expenditures and may be borrowed in the first half of fiscal year 1995.
The revolving credit facility, which provides up to $7,000,000 was extended to
March 31, 1996. The covenants of the revolving credit agreement and the
previously existing term loans have been conformed to the covenants negotiated
for the new term loan. The term loans are collateralized by the assets of the
Company. Interest on all bank loans is at the prime rate, and any unused
portion of the revolving credit bears a fee of 1/4 of 1% per annum.
At October 1, 1994, $196,000 was outstanding, at the bank which provided
the $1,340,000 mortgage (see above), under a $250,000 line of credit which
is utilized to acquire equipment. Interest, based upon the prime rate, is
fixed at the time of each borrowing.
Long-term debt maturities during the next five years, including the
portion classified as current, are $1,870,000 in 1995, $1,358,000 in 1996,
$1,305,000 in 1997, $1,381,000 in 1998, and $1,446,000 in 1999 and
thereafter.
During the fiscal years ended 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company incurred
total interest expense of $465,000, $602,000, and $923,000, respectively.
Interest paid in each year approximated interest expense.

Shareholders' Equity:
Preferred Stock:
In 1990, the Company's shareholders authorized 6,000,000 shares of a
newly created class of preferred stock with a par value of $.0001 per
share. The preferred stock is issuable in such series and with such
dividend rates, redemption prices, preferences and conversion or other
rights as the Board of Directors may determine at the time of issuance.
Pursuant to a settlement reached in 1991 of shareholder litigation, the
Company, in July 1992, issued 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock is nonvoting,
is convertible into Common Stock on a share-for-share basis at any time at
the option of the holder, has a liquidation preference of $5.00 per share,
and is entitled to an annual dividend of up to $.30 per share, to the
extent that net earnings (as defined) of the Company exceed $1,500,000.
Dividends, to the extent earned, are preferential and cumulative. The
Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company under certain circumstances.
In addition, after the third anniversary of the issuance date of the
Preferred Stock, the Company may, under certain circumstances, require all
of the Preferred Stock to be converted into Common Stock on a 1.1 for 1
share basis.
Dividend:
In fiscal year 1994, net earnings (as defined) exceeded $1,500,000. The
preferred dividend of $.30 per share was accrued and is scheduled to be
paid on February 1, 1995.

Share Purchase Rights Plan:
Each share of Common Stock outstanding carries with it one Common Share
Purchase Right ("Right"). Generally, the Rights will become exercisable
only if a person or group has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire,
beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Common Stock, or if the Board of
Directors has determined that a person or group has sought control of the
Company with the result that control by such person or group
("Disqualifying Persons") would be detrimental to the maintenance, renewal
or acquisition of the Company's governmental or regulatory approvals. If a
person or group thereafter acquires beneficial ownership of 25% or more of
the outstanding Common Stock or if the Board of Directors determines that
there is a reasonable likelihood that control of the Company by a
Disqualifying Person would result in the loss of, or denial of approval
for, any governmental or regulatory approval of the Company, each
outstanding Right not owned by such person or group would entitle the
holder to purchase, for $25 (the exercise price of the Right), Common Stock
having a market value of $50. Under certain other circumstances, including
the acquisition of the Company in a merger or other business combination,
each Right not owned by the acquiring party will entitle the holder to
purchase for $25, securities of the acquirer having a market value of $50.
The Rights are subject to redemption by the Company at a redemption price
of $.01 per Right.
Employee Stock Purchase Program:
The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Program ("Program").
The Program is designed to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It enables
eligible employees to purchase shares of Common Stock at a discount of up
to 15% from the fair market value. An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock have been reserved for sale to employees under the Program.
Employees purchased 16,928 shares, 9,739 shares and 3,973 shares during
fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. At October 1, 1994,
958,610 shares remain available for sale under the Program.

Under the 1989 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan"),
options are granted to directors of the Company who are not employees of the
Company or are otherwise ineligible to receive options under any other plan
adopted by the Company. Eligible directors are granted options upon their
initial election to the Board and once in each fiscal year thereafter on the
earlier of June 30 or the date on which the shareholders elect directors at an
annual meeting. The Company has reserved 550,000 shares of Common Stock for
issuance under the Directors' Plan.
The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan provides that options may be
granted to employees of the Company or to others for the purchase of up to
900,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Options granted under the
plan may be incentive stock options or nonqualified options.
The 1983 Stock Option Plan terminated in August 1993, and no further
options have been, or will be, granted.
At October 1, 1994 and October 2, 1993, options for 312,663 and 694,663
shares, respectively, were available for future grant under the various
plans. Options for 2,066,768 shares were exercisable at October 1, 1994.
Income Taxes:
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("FAS 109"), which required the Company to recognize deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In addition, FAS
109 required the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating
loss ("NOL") carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits
is more likely than not. The Company adopted the new accounting standard
during the quarter ended January 1, 1994 and, as a result, recognized
future tax benefits of $14,128,000. This amount is reflected in the net
income of the Company as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle.
The tax effects of the significant temporary differences which comprise
the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

At October 1, 1994, the Company had NOL carryforwards for tax purposes
of approximately $40,000,000 that expire in September 2005 through September
2009.
The Internal Revenue Service has indicated that it intends to disallow
the Company's credit for increased research activities. The Company is
vigorously contesting the Internal Revenue Service's position that credits
for research activities are not permitted. In the event a determination is
made that the Company was not entitled to such credit, a reserve of
approximately $1,000,000 was provided upon implementation of FAS 109.
Commitments:
Leases:
At October 1, 1994, the Company had minimum rental commitments
aggregating $2,347,000 under noncancelable operating leases expiring
through 1998. Amounts payable thereunder are $781,000 in 1995, $713,000 in
1996, $622,000 in 1997, and $231,000 in 1998. Rent expense charged to
operations in fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $907,000, $860,000, and
$1,012,000, respectively.
Retirement Plans:
The Company has a defined contribution, Social Security integrated
Retirement Plan providing retirement benefits to eligible employees as
defined in the Plan. It also maintains a Retirement Savings Plan whereby
eligible employees are permitted to contribute from 1% to 12% of pay to
this Plan. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of the first 6%
of the pay contributed by the employee. The Company's provisions for these
plans were $598,000 in 1994 (reduced by $250,000 in forfeitures), $962,000
in 1993, and $669,000 in 1992.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued

The Company maintains a Defined Benefit Pension Plan covering eligible
employees as defined in the Plan, which was frozen October 1, 1989. Since
the benefits under this Plan are based on the participants' length of
service and compensation (subject to Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 and Internal Revenue Service limitations), service costs
subsequent to October 1, 1989 are excluded from benefit accruals under the
plan. The funding policy for this Plan is to contribute amounts
actuarially determined as necessary to provide sufficient assets to meet
the benefit requirements of the Plan retirees. The assets of the plan are
invested in mortgages and bonds.
Net pension expense for fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992 included the
following components:

Contingencies and Other Matters:
Legal Proceedings:
The Company is involved in minor litigation matters, including certain
products liability actions, incidental to the conduct of its business, but
does not believe that the ultimate resolution thereof will have a material
adverse effect on its financial statements, considered as a whole.
The Company received a warning letter in May 1994 from the FDA setting
forth certain alleged deviations from current good manufacturing practice
regulations and alleged violations of related provisions of the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The warning letter does not limit the
manufacture of the Company's product line nor suspend the review and
approval of applications pending at the FDA. The FDA indicated that it
would shortly complete its review of the Company response and that a
mutually amenable working relationship continues between the FDA and the
Company. No assurances can be given that the outcome of the FDA review
will not have a material adverse affect upon the Company.

The Company is a plaintiff in several proceedings against former
management members seeking recovery of, among other things, salaries and
amounts paid for indemnification, in connection with their actions as
former managers of Par. The Company is seeking unspecified damages.
Although the Company is vigorously pursuing such claims, there is no
assurance that the Company will recover any amounts or that any recoveries
will be material.

THE GENERICS GROUP, B.V.
Exhibit 10.27
April 30, 1993
Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc.
One Ram Ridge Road
Spring Valley, New York 10977
Attn: Kenneth Sawyer, President
Dear Ken:
We are writing to confirm our agreement on the following matters:
New Products
- - - - - - - ------------
The Generics Group B.V. and its affiliates (collectively referred to
herein as "Amerpharm") will appoint Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. and its
affiliates (collectively referred to herein as "Par") as its exclusive U.S.
distributor for the products listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively the
"New Products").
Subject to the following provisions, definitive distribution
agreements and related documentation to be entered into in furtherance of
this Letter Agreement with respect to the New Products (collectively the
"Distribution Agreements") shall be upon substantially the same terms and
conditions as those previously executed and delivered in connection with
the distribution arrangements between our affiliate, Genpharm, Inc. and Par
for Piroxicam and Pindolol (the "Prior Transaction"). Capitalized terms
used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given the Prior
Transaction.
While the Distribution Agreements will be executed and delivered in
advance, the obligations of the parties thereto thereunder will only become
effective (on a product by product basis) upon the appropriate approval
letters being issued in respect of ANDAs as filed by Amerpharm in respect
of the New Products.
With the exception for Product 1 and certain Substantial Customer
sales, Gross Profits (as defined in the Prior Transaction) will be
allocated to Amerpharm and to Par (except on Excluded Contracts [as
defined in the Prior Transaction] where the allocation will be % and
except that the first __ million of aggregate Gross Profits from Net Sales
of the New Products will be allocated to Amerpharm and to Par).
The Distribution Agreements will also provide that if, after the
expiry of six months from the initial shipment of a New Product in a
commercial quantity to you, you have not sold any of that product to a
Substantial Customer (as defined below) or Par at any time has received
notice or other reasonably reliable information ("Termination Notice")
indicating that such Substantial Customer will not reorder a New Product,
Amerpharm, at its option, may give you thirty days (ninety days in the
case of a Termination Notice) prior written notice of its intention to sell
such New Product to the named Substantial Customer in question, or, as the
case may be, have had the Termination Notice rescinded within the notice
period, Amerpharm will be free to sell the Product in question to that
Substantial Customer directly. In the event Amerpharm shall determine to
sell such Product to such Substantial Customer, it shall, in the following
order of priority, (i) sell, package and deliver such Product itself
directly to such Substantial Customer, (ii) to the extent practicable, put
the order from such Substantial Customer through Par (for repackaging
and/or distribution or otherwise) or (iii) if Par, in its discretion,
refuses or it shall be impracticable for Amerpharm to put such order
through Par, sell, package and deliver such Product to such Substantial
Party through a third party. In the event of (ii) above, the Gross Profits
from such sale will be allocated to Amerpharm and to Par. In the
event of (i) or (iii) above, the Gross Profits from such sale shall be
allocated to Amerpharm and to Par.
"Substantial Customer" shall mean any chain, wholesaler or other
purchaser having significant combined purchasing power and constituting one
of the top 100 generic drug purchasers in the United States.
<PAGE>
Gross Profits from Net Sales of Product 1 will be allocated to
Amerpharm, to Par until the earlier of two years from the first
commercialization of the product by Par and the date that other generic
competition commences selling the same product in the market and thereafter
Gross Profits will be allocated to Amerpharm and to Par (subject to
the other exceptions herein described).
The Distribution Agreements shall contemplate the following Product's
Sales Thresholds (as that term is defined in the Prior Transaction) in
respect of the following New Products:
(a) for Product 1 (i) for the first twelve months ("Year 1")
commencing on the Commencement Date, the sum of (A) _______
multiplied by the number of months ("NonComp Months") during Year
1 for which there is no generic competition plus (B) _______
multiplied by the number of months ("Comp Months") in Year 1 for
which there is generic competition, (ii) for the second twelve
months ("Year 2") after the Commencement Date (subject to the
following proviso) the sum of (A) ________ multiplied by the
number of NonComp Months in Year 2 plus (B) _______ multiplied by
the number of Comp Months in Year 2, (iii) for the third twelve
months, 80% of the number of Annualized Units (as defined below)
sold in the preceding twelve months and (iv) for each twelve
month period thereafter, 90% of the number of units sold in the
preceding twelve months; provided, however, that if any generic
competition shall commence in Year 1, the threshold for Year 2
shall be as set forth in (iii) above and the threshold for all
succeeding periods as will be set forth in (iii) above and the
threshold for all succeeding periods as will be set forth in (iv)
above.
For purposes hereof, "Annualized Units" shall mean (a) with respect to
any twelve month period consisting of only NonComp Months, the number of
units sold in such twelve-month period and (b) with respect to any other
twelve month period, the number of units which would be required to be sold
in such twelve month period in order to meet the applicable threshold
therefor if such period consisted solely of Comp Months.
(b) for Product 3 (i) _______ in the first twelve month period
commencing on the Commencement Date; (ii) eighty percent of the
number of units sold in such initial twelve-month period for the
second twelve month period and (iii) for each twelve month period
thereafter, ninety percent of the number of units sold in the

shall be as set forth in (b) above except that the following shall be used
for purpose of (b)(i) above:
Product 2
________
Product 4

It is understood and agreed that the Distribution Agreement shall
provide that Par shall use reasonable efforts to develop a market for and
sell the New Products in the United States, such efforts to be at least as
good as those used by Par in relation to their other products and that the
satisfaction of a Product Sales Threshold in respect of a New Product for a
period shall only be a prima facie evidence that Par has satisfied its
-----------
obligation to use reasonable efforts, as aforesaid, in respect of such
period.
The Distribution Agreements shall also contemplate that if a
pharmaceutical company carrying on business in the United States (the
"Competitor") acquires securities of Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. or
either of its subsidiaries, Para Pharmaceutical, Inc. of PRX Distributors,
Ltd., to which are attached more than fifty percent of the votes attaching
to all of its outstanding securities having full voting rights under all
circumstances, or which otherwise provide it with de facto control, or
-- -----
acquires all or substantially all of the operating assets of Par
Pharmaceutical, Inc. and the Competitor or any of its affiliates is
marketing a product which directly competes with the New Products or any
other products which Par is then marketing or is under a commitment to
market on behalf of Amerpharm, then, Amerpharm shall have the right to
convert Par to a non-exclusive distributor of the affected New Products or
products upon terms similar to those in the Prior Transaction for the
conversion of Par from an exclusive to a non-exclusive distributor for
failure to satisfy a Product Sales Threshold. In the event of any such
conversion, Par's obligations with respect to market development and sales
of the affected product will be to use reasonable efforts consistent with
efforts used in
<PAGE>
relation to other Par Products, taking into consideration the changed
circumstances then obtaining; provided, however, that if Amerpharm, in its
-------- -------
discretion, is not satisfied with the results of Par's efforts at any time,
it may terminate the agreement with respect to such product on 60 days'
written notice.
Warrants
- - - - - - - --------
In consideration of Amerpharm entering into this Letter Agreement and
the above-captioned Distribution Agreements in furtherance hereof,
Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc., has agreed to grant to Amerpharm a warrant
to acquire 150,000 common shares of Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. at a
price equal to $__ per share.
The warrant as to 100,000 shares will become vested upon Par achieving
aggregate sales of the New Products of $__ million and the balance of the
shares will become vested when Par's sales of these products reaches $__
million. The terms of the warrant will be substantially similar to those
contained in the Warrant Agreement which was executed and delivered in
connection with the Prior Transaction (the "Warrant Agreement"). The price
to Amerpharm for the option shall be the sum of $_______, which price shall
be satisfied by the allocation of Gross Profits on the first $__ million of
New Products sales (i.e., that Amerpharm has foregone $_______ of profit by
reducing its share of Gross Profits from to in respect of the first
$__ million of Gross Profits).
Additional Products of Amerpharm
- - - - - - - --------------------------------
Amerpharm shall have the right to require Par to distribute in the
United States on behalf of Amerpharm up to fourteen additional products
(the "Additional Products") upon the following terms and the parties shall
incorporate the terms herein contemplated and the terms relating to the
sharing of profit (as defined below) from Third Party Products and from
_______, as contemplated below, into a definitive agreement or agreements
(the "Additional Products Agreement") which shall be executed and delivered
simultaneously with the Distribution Agreements.
Within three months from the date hereof, Amerpharm shall deliver to
Par a list of up to the fourteen Additional Products, which list shall
include only products in solid dosage form, but shall not include the
products listed on product list ("List") signed by the parties which List
and the Additional Products list the parties agree to keep confidential.
At any time prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the
Additional Products list is delivered, Amerpharm shall be entitled to
replace, from time to time, up to four products in the aggregate named on
the Additional Products list (which Amerpharm, acting reasonably,
determines to be a problem product) with another product (which again is in
solid dosage form and does not appear on the List) and provided Par, at the
time of being notified of the proposed substitution, has not commenced in a
substantial way (and is continuing diligently) to develop such product nor
has it entered into an agreement with a third party to distribute such
product on behalf of the third party. The product so substituted shall be
treated as an Additional Product (notwithstanding that is was not initially
included on the Additional Product list for which it was substituted shall
thereupon cease to be an Additional Product.
Par will distribute exclusively for Amerpharm (as Amerpharm's
exclusive distributor in the United States) the Additional Products upon
the same terms as are contemplated above for the New Products (on a -
basis, subject to Excluded Contracts and Significant Customer
exceptions contemplated above provided that the Product Sales Threshold for
each such product shall be established in a manner contemplated below)
provided that Amerpharm diligently proceeds to develop, test and obtain
regulatory approval of the manufacture, importation and sale thereof in the
United States, within time periods specified in the Additional Products
Agreement to be executed in furtherance hereof or, failing agreement of the
parties as to such time periods, within such reasonable period of time as
shall reasonably be required to obtain such approvals having regard to the
circumstances and the diligent and good faith efforts made by Amerpharm to
obtain same.
The Product Sales Threshold for each Additional Product for the first
twelve months after the Commencement Date shall be the aggregate of, as
applicable:
(i) 25% of the total market units (both brand name and generic) of
such product sold in the United States for the period within the
first twelve months that such Additional Product of Amerpharm is
the only generic product being marketed in the United States;
(ii) 10% of the total market units (both brand name and generic) of
such product sold in the
<PAGE>
United States for the period within the first twelve months where
there are not more than two other competitive generic products
(including Amerpharm's Additional Product) being marketed in the
United States;
(iii) 5% of the total market units (both brand name and generic) of
such product sold in the United States for the period within the
first twelve months where there are more than two other
competitive generic products (including Amerpharm's Additional
Product) but less than 5 being marketed in the United States;
(iv) 1% of the total market units (both brand name and generic) of
such product sold in the United States for the period within the
first twelve months in any case not contemplated in (i), (ii) or
(iii) above.
Second year thresholds will be 80% of the annualized number of units
required to have been sold by Par in the first twelve months on the
assumption that the competition which existed in such last month of such
twelve month period existed for the entire initial twelve months. For the
third year and each succeeding year, the thresholds will be 90% of the
number of units sold in the year preceding it. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at the time each Additional product is designated the parties
shall consider the particular circumstances then existing with respect to
such Additional Product in order to determine whether adjustments should be
made to the above thresholds.
Third Party Products
- - - - - - - --------------------
If Amerpharm introduces Par to a third party (for whom Par is not then
distributing any products at the time of the introduction and has not
distributed a product for such third party within the prior two years) who
agrees to use Par for the distribution of a product in the United States
and Par, directly or indirectly, enters into an agreement with such third
party for the distribution of that product (and/or within two years of such
introduction, directly or indirectly, enters into or is negotiating (and
subsequently enters into) any other agreement to distribute any other
products of such third party) then Par shall split profits earned from the
distribution of those products with Amerpharm on a basis. Once
introduced to Par, Amerpharm will not introduce such third party to any
other party for marketing the same product in the United States so long as
Par is diligently and in good faith negotiating the agreement. For
purposes hereof, "profits" shall mean the net revenue of Par from the
distribution of products minus, without duplication, (i) Par's direct out-
of-pocket costs in connection with the distribution of such products
(including, without limitation, acquisition costs (including net duties),
royalties, testing, promotion, packaging, labeling, shipping and any other
out-of-pocket costs it incurs in connection with the agreement), (ii) a
reasonable allowance for overhead (in an amount to be specified in the
agreement with Amerpharm but not to exceed 2% of sales of such products by
Par) and (iii) any other payments (not specifically referred to or
contemplated above) which it makes to the third party for the product on
account of such sales.
Joint Products
- - - - - - - --------------
Par and Amerpharm shall each endeavor, in good faith, to independently
develop and file an ANDA seeking regulatory approval to market the products
set forth on Schedule B ("Joint Products") hereto in the United States. If
Par files and receives an ANDA on a Joint Product prior to any filing by
Amerpharm, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to each
other with respect to such Joint Product. If Amerpharm files and receives
an ANDA on a Joint Product prior to Par filing, such Joint Product shall be
treated as an Additional Product for purposes hereof with profits to be
split to Amerpharm and to Par. If both parties have filed on a
Joint Product, and one receives an ANDA and final FDA marketing clearance
("Clearance"), such Joint Product will be manufactured (by the ANDA and
Clearance holder) and marketed by Par under the first issued ANDA and
Clearance thereon and the party to whom such ANDA and Clearance is first
issued shall receive of profits thereon and the other party shall
receive . If problems arise with the ANDA in use with respect to a
Joint Product as the result of which the parties utilize an ANDA and
Clearance issued to the other, the percentage split of profits and
manufacturing obligations will reverse. For purposes hereof, "profits"
shall mean the net revenue of Par from the distribution of products minus,
without duplication, (i) Par's direct out-of-pocket costs in connection
with the distribution of such products (including, without limitation,
acquisition costs (including net duties), royalties, testing, promotion,
packaging, labeling and shipping, (ii) a reasonable allowance for overhead
related to distribution (the amount to be specified in the agreement with
Amerpharm but not to exceed 2% of sales of such products by Par) and (iii)
the fully loaded manufacturing cost for manufacturing the product (which
shall be paid to whichever of Par of Amerpharm
<PAGE>
manufactures the product pursuant to the regulatory approval) determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the usual
business practices of such party, consistently applied.
Fixed Price Contracts
- - - - - - - ---------------------
Where Par has entered into a fixed price contract to supply a
Amerpharm product for which Amerpharm may be liable for excess re-
procurement costs if it fails to deliver the required product and Par
fulfills their contract to their customer by sourcing the products from a
third party (which sourcing was required because of Amerpharm's inability
to deliver the product), any profit (being revenue less out-of-pocket
costs and expenses) which Par earns from its fulfillment of such contract
shall be split % between Par and Amerpharm.
Amending Prior Transactions
- - - - - - - ---------------------------
The distribution agreement executed and delivered in respect of the
Prior Transactions shall be amended to (i) correct any typographical errors
or omissions in such agreement including incorrect cross-references, (ii)
to add the provisions herein contemplated for the Fixed Price Contracts,
for Substantial Customers and for the right of Amerpharm's affiliate,
Genpharm Inc. to convert Par into a non-exclusive distributor upon a
pharmaceutical company acquiring the shares or assets of Par as hereinabove
contemplated and the parties shall execute and deliver an amending
agreement (the "Amending Agreement") amending the terms of the distribution
agreement as herein contemplate.
* * *
It is understood and agreed that the terms of this Letter Agreement
shall be legally binding upon us and shall regulate the conduct of
negotiations for finalization of the Distribution Agreements, the Warrant
Agreement, if applicable, the Additional Products Agreement, if necessary,
and the Amending Agreement (collectively, the "Definitive Agreements").

own costs and expenses relating to the negotiation and execution of the
Definitive Agreements and shall share the costs of any mediator.

ARTICLE IV
EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR
---------------------
4.1 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, SANO hereby appoints
PPI as the exclusive distributor of the Licensed Products for the United
States and PPI hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act as such
exclusive distributor. The rights and licenses granted to PPI under this
Agreement shall henceforth be referred to as "the Right." PPI acknowledges
that it has no rights with respect to SANO's Technology or the Licensed
Products, except for the distribution rights with respect to the Licensed
Products as herein described.
4.2 SANO covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement
or until the Right (or its exclusive nature) is terminated in accordance
with the provisions hereof:
4.2.1 SANO will refer to PPI all inquiries concerning potential
purchases of Licensed Products received by it from Persons located in the
United States or from Persons outside the United States if SANO knows or
reasonably suspects that such Person intends to resell or export the
Licensed Product to the United States;
4.2.2 SANO will not, directly or indirectly, knowingly sell any
Licensed Product in the United States nor to any Person outside of the
United States if SANO reasonably expects that such Person intends to resell
or export the Licensed Product to the United States and, if notified by PPI
that one of SANO's customers is selling the Licensed Product in the United
States in any material respect, SANO shall either cease to supply such
customer or obtain (and enforce, if necessary) an undertaking from such
customer not to sell the Licensed Product in the United States (unless
SANO is precluded from taking such action under applicable law). PPI
acknowledges that SANO will use reasonable efforts to prevent the sale of
Licensed Products in United States by Persons other than PPI, but shall not
be held responsible if, despite such efforts, it is unsuccessful in so
doing (subject to its obligations above to cease to supply or to obtain and
enforce the undertaking as and to the extent contemplated above).
4.2.3 PPI shall not, and shall not authorize, permit or suffer
any of its Affiliates to, purchase any Transdermal Generic Drug Delivery
System which has the same strength, contains the same active ingredient and
is for the same indication as, and is competitive with, any of the Licensed
Products (a "Competitive Product") for distribution, sale or use in the
United States from any Person other than SANO. PPI shall not, and shall
not authorize, permit or suffer any of its Affiliates to, seek regulatory
approval in the
<PAGE>
United States for any Competitive Product or to, directly or indirectly,
manufacture, sell, handle, distribute or be financially interested (except
as a stockholder with not greater than a 5% interest in a public company)
in the sales of such products within the United States for its own account
or for the account of any other Person as agent, distributor or otherwise.
The foregoing shall not apply to a Licensed Product that is not then
available from SANO for commercial sale by PPI and is substantially behind
the schedule set forth in the relevant Development Program.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if PPI or PRI becomes an Affiliate
of an entity (the "Merger Partner") as a result of a merger, acquisition,
or other similar extraordinary corporate transaction, and such Merger
Partner is engaged in the manufacture or distribution of a Competitive
Product that PPI is then distributing pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, PPI shall so notify SANO and shall offer (the "Offer") to sell,
assign and transfer to SANO the Right with respect to the Licensed Product
with which such Competitive Product is competitive in exchange for an
amount equal to the Licensed Product Fee (as hereinafter defined) for such
Licensed Product. If, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the
Offer, SANO accepts the Offer, SANO shall, within fifteen (15) days of such
acceptance, deliver to PPI, against delivery of appropriate instruments of
release and transfer, its promissory note in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to PPI, payable to the order of PPI, in the principal amount of
the Licensed Product Fee, bearing interest at the prime rate of Citibank,
N.A., as announced from time to time at its offices in New York City (the
"Prime Rate"), with interest and principal payable on the first anniversary
of the date of delivery of such note. From and after the date of delivery
of such note, PPI shall have no rights with respect to the relevant
Licensed Product and SANO shall be free to grant any rights related thereto
to a third party or to retain such rights for itself. If SANO declines to
accept the Offer or fails to accept the Offer within the aforesaid 30-day
period, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except that
the provisions of this Section 4.2.3 shall not apply to the Competitive
Product. PPI shall have no rights with respect to an Option Product as to
which a Merger Partner has a Competitive Product. PPI shall notify SANO
promptly if any Merger Partner has a Competitive Product with respect to an
Option Product.
4.2.4 PPI shall not, and shall not authorize, permit or suffer
any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, sell any Licensed Product
to any Person outside of the United States, nor to any Person in the United
States if PPI or any of its Affiliates reasonably expects that such Person
intends, directly or indirectly, to sell or export the Licensed Product
outside of the United States. If PPI is notified by SANO that one of its
customers or a customer of PPI or any of its Affiliates is exporting the
Licensed Product out of the United
<PAGE>
States in any material respect PPI shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to)
either cease to supply such customer or obtain (and enforce, if necessary)
an undertaking from such customer not to sell the Product outside of the
United States (unless PPI or any such Affiliate is precluded from taking
such action under applicable law). SANO acknowledges that PPI will use (and
will cause its Affiliates to use) reasonable efforts to prevent its
customers from exporting any Licensed Product out of the United States but
shall not be held responsible if, despite such efforts, it is unsuccessful
in so doing (subject to its obligations above to cease to supply or to
obtain and enforce the undertaking as and to the extent contemplated
above).
4.2.5 PPI shall refer to SANO any inquiry or order for Licensed
Products which PPI or any of its Affiliates may receive from any Person
located outside of the United States and from any Person located in the
United States where PPI or any of its Affiliates knows or has reason to
suspect that such Person intends to export the Licensed Products outside of
the United States.
4.2.6 The parties acknowledge, agree and declare that the
relationship hereby established between PPI and SANO is solely that of
buyer and seller, that each is an independent contractor engaged in the
operation of its own respective business, that neither party shall be
considered to be the agent of the other party for any purpose whatsoever,
except as otherwise expressly indicated in this Agreement, and that,
except as otherwise expressly indicated in this Agreement, neither party
has any authority to enter into any contract, assume any obligations or
make any warranties or representations on behalf of the other party.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to establish a partnership or
joint venture relationship between or among the parties.
ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS OF PPI AND PRI; OBLIGATIONS
-------------------------------------------
5.1 PPI and PRI represent and warrant as follows:
5.1.1 Organization, etc. They are duly organized and validly
------------------
existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey, have all requisite
power and authority to conduct their business as now and as proposed to be

Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by PPI and PRI and represents a valid and binding obligation enforceable
against PPI and PRI in accordance with its terms.
5.1.2 No Conflicts; Consents. Execution and delivery hereof, or
----------------------
performance by either PPI or PRI hereunder, will not (a) violate or create
a default under (i) PPI's and PRI's Certificates of Incorporation
<PAGE>
or by-laws (true and correct copies of which have been delivered to SANO),
(ii) any mortgage, indenture, agreement, note or other instruments to which
either is a party or by which either's assets are subject or (iii) any
court order or decree or other governmental direction or (b) result in the
action of any lien, charge or encumbrance or any material portion of PPI's
and PRI's assets.
5.1.3 Information. All data and other information relating to
-----------
PPI and PRI provided to SANO by PPI and PRI, or their agents, was derived
from PPI's and PRI's records (which have been diligently maintained) and is
an accurate copy or summary thereof in all material respects.
5.1.4 Sufficiency. PPI maintains and agrees that it will
-----------
continue to maintain those places of business and equipment to be used in
storing and shipping the Licensed Products in accordance with Current Good
Manufacturing Practices of the FDA and all other applicable requirements of
the FDA (as the same may be modified from time to time). PPI hereby
further represents and warrants that it currently has and/or has available
to it and maintains and agrees to continue to have and/or to have available
to it and maintain an adequate marketing organization and qualified sales
persons to promote the sale of the Licensed Products in the United States.
5.2 PPI shall purchase the Products from SANO as contemplated in
Section 6.1 hereof.
5.3 PPI will use its reasonable efforts (utilizing its marketing,
distribution and management systems and those of its Affiliates) to develop
a market for and sell the Licensed Products in the United States, such
efforts to be not less rigorous than those efforts used by PPI in relation
to its leading or principal products. PPI shall devote particular
attention to the marketing and sale of the Licensed Products and shall use
its resources in a way it deems most effective in promoting the Licensed
Products given market conditions. SANO shall not engage in marketing and
promotion of the Licensed Products unless reasonably requested to do so by
PPI.
5.4 PPI shall have sole discretion in setting the sales price for the
sale of the Licensed Products, provided that PPI shall not specifically
discount the price of the Licensed Products for the benefit of PPI or any
of its Affiliates' other products or to otherwise use the Licensed Products
as a loss leader or incentive to procure the sale of PPI's or any of its
Affiliates' other products. Rebate and other discount programs (excluding
any program where the price of the Licensed Products are discounted
primarily for the benefit of enhancing the sale of PPI's or any of its
Affiliates' other products) generally available to PPI's customers on the
purchase of pharmaceutical products shall not be prohibited by this Section
5.4, provided that such programs shall be in accordance with industry
standards for comparable products and shall be designed to promote the
<PAGE>
sale of the Licensed Products and not other products.
5.5 PPI shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations
relating to transporting, storing, advertising, promoting and selling of
the Licensed Products within the United States and shall assume sole
responsibility for all credit risks and collection of receivables with
respect to Licensed Products sold by it and its Affiliates, and, except as
expressly provided herein, in respect of all dealings between itself (and
its Affiliates) and its (and their) customers.
5.6 PPI shall notify SANO promptly upon becoming aware of any adverse
information relating to the safety or effectiveness of a Licensed Product
and shall consult from time to time with regard to competition or
potentially competitive products.
5.7 PPI hereby further represents and warrants to SANO that, to the
best of its knowledge, information and belief, neither it nor any of its
Affiliates is prohibited by any federal, state or local law, rule or
regulation or by any order, directive or policy of the United States
government or any state or local government thereof or any federal, state
or local regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction with respect to
the distribution of pharmaceutical products within its territorial
jurisdiction from selling the Licensed Products within the territorial
jurisdiction of such government, regulatory agency or authority and that
neither PPI nor any of its Affiliates is a Person who, by public notice, is
listed by a United States federal agency as debarred, suspended, proposed
for debarment or otherwise ineligible for federal programs in the United
States (an "Ineligible Person") or Person from whom any United States
federal, state or local government, regulatory authority or agency which
purchases pharmaceutical products (including, without limitation, the
federal Defense Logistics Agency) will or may not purchase any products or
with whom it will or may not otherwise conduct business as a result of any
of its Affiliates or PPI being publicly listed or otherwise.
5.8 PPI shall consult with SANO from time to time with respect to
opportunities of which it becomes aware for the development of transdermal
applications for generic or proprietary drugs or of opportunities for the
development of ingredients in transdermal form. In the event that PPI or
its Affiliates intend to engage in the development of a transdermal
product, PPI or such Affiliate shall afford SANO the opportunity to
participate in such development, shall negotiate with SANO on the terms of
such participation, and shall not enter into an agreement with any other
manufacturer of transdermal delivery systems without offering SANO the
right of first refusal in accordance with the following procedure: PPI
shall notify SANO of the material terms and conditions on which it
proposes to enter into such agreement. Within 30 days of its receipt of
such notice, SANO shall notify PPI whether it wishes to enter into such an
agreement on such terms
<PAGE>
and conditions. If SANO notifies PPI within such 30 days that it does wish
to enter into such an agreement, PPI and SANO shall prepare and enter into
a definitive agreement on substantially the terms and conditions set forth
in the notice. If SANO fails to so notify PPI within such 30 days, PPI may
enter into such an agreement with a third party on substantially the terms
and conditions set forth in the notice. The foregoing shall not be deemed
to require PPI (i) to divulge confidential information of other
manufacturers, (ii) to disclose to SANO the contents of confidential
proposals made to PPI by other Persons, or (iii) to refrain from dealing
with manufacturers of transdermal delivery systems under development by
such manufacturers that are not a Competitive Product with respect to any
Licensed Product or Option Products under active development.
ARTICLE VI
DELIVERY
--------
6.1 Licensed Products shall be made available to PRI for pickup ready
for shipment in Standard Packaging, or as otherwise permitted by the FDA,
at SANO's facilities located in Plantation, Florida, or such other
facilities in the continental United States as SANO may utilize with the
consent of PPI, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and SANO shall use its reasonable efforts to make available to PPI
sufficient quantities of the Licensed Products to satisfy orders for the
Licensed Products. SANO shall be solely responsible for the contents of
the labels and artwork on all finished labelled products sold by PRI and
its Affiliates. SANO shall provide all Standard Packaging for the Licensed

the anticipated market launch of a Licensed Product, as reasonably
estimated by the parties, and thereafter shall be provided to SANO on or
before the 20th day of the first month of each successive quarterly period
(to forecast the requirements for the next nine succeeding calendar
months). It is understood and agreed that all forecasts are estimates only
and PPI shall only be bound to purchase the Licensed Products pursuant to
purchase orders submitted by it to SANO. All purchase orders shall be for
minimum batch size quantities reasonably agreed by the parties and shall
anticipate an order/production/availability cycle of approximately twelve
weeks during the first two contract years (as defined below) of this
Agreement and an order/production/availability cycle of approximately
sixteen weeks thereafter.
6.3 PPI shall arrange for shipping and/or transportation of the
Licensed Products from SANO's
<PAGE>

Notice").
6.3.2 PPI shall use reasonable and good faith efforts to pick up
the Licensed Products that are the subject of an Availability Notice within
ten (10) business days of receipt of the Availability Notice; provided
that, if such pickup has not occurred on or prior to the expiry of such ten
day period, PPI shall, for purposes of its payment obligations to SANO
pursuant to Section 7.2 below, be deemed to have picked up the Licensed
Products which are the subject of the Availability Notice on the last
business day of such ten-day period. If the Licensed Products in question
have not been picked up by or on behalf of PPI within twenty business days
of an Availability Notice, SANO may, but shall not be obligated to, cause
the Licensed Products to be delivered to PPI's Spring Valley, New York,
facility by truck or other overland delivery at PPI's sole cost and expense
and risk of loss and title to the Products shall pass to PPI upon pickup of
the Products at SANO's facility in the same manner as if the pickup had
been effected by PPI itself, provided that SANO shall provide for the
Licensed Products to be insured during transit in a commercially reasonable
manner at PPI's sole cost and expense.

state sales or excise tax payable on the purchase of such Licensed
Products, which payment shall be remitted with the payment of the price as
contemplated in Section 7.3 below and upon payment thereof by PPI to SANO,
SANO shall be solely responsible for remitting the amount so paid on
account of such taxes to the relevant governmental collecting authorities.
Promptly upon PPI's request, SANO shall provide PPI with reasonable
evidence of such direct costs and applicable taxes and payment of such
taxes.
7.3 Payment Terms. Payment for each order of Licensed Products made
-------------
available by SANO for pick-up by PPI shall be due within 35 days of pick-up
(whether actual or deemed pursuant to Section 6.3.2) by PPI at SANO's
facility.
ARTICLE VIII
PRODUCT ACCEPTANCE
------------------
8.1 SANO shall manufacture the Licensed Products and make them
available for pickup by PPI in accordance with all applicable laws, rules
and regulations including, without limitation, the Specifications
applicable to the Licensed Product in question, Current Good Manufacturing
Practices of the FDA (as the same may change from time to time) and all
other applicable requirements of the FDA and other governmental authorities
having jurisdiction.
8.2 All Licensed Products made available for pick up by PPI shall be
accompanied by quality control certificates of analysis signed by a duly
authorized laboratory official of SANO confirming that each batch of
Licensed Product covered by such certificate meets its release
Specifications and shall be deemed accepted by it unless PPI, acting
reasonably and in good faith, shall give written notice of rejection
(hereafter referred to as a "Rejection Notice") to SANO within 35 days
after pick up of the Licensed Products by, on behalf of or for the account
of PPI at SANO's facility.
(a) The Rejection Notice shall state in reasonable detail
(sufficient to enable SANO to identify the nature of the problem and the
tests or studies to be conducted by or on its behalf to confirm or
<PAGE>
dispute same) the reason why the Licensed Products are not acceptable to
PPI. If the Licensed Products meet the applicable provisions of Section
8.1 and are in quantities specified in a purchase order, PPI shall not be
entitled to reject them. Any Rejection Notice shall be accompanied by
copies of all written reports relating to tests, studies or investigations
performed to that date by or for PPI on the Licensed Product batch
rejected.
(b) Upon receipt of such Rejection Notice, SANO may require PPI
to return the rejected Licensed Products or samples thereof to SANO for
further testing, in which event such Licensed Products or samples thereof,
as the case may be, shall be returned by PPI to SANO or at SANO's direction
at SANO's expense. If it is later determined by the parties or by an
independent laboratory or consultant that PPI was not justified in
rejecting the Licensed Products or that PPI or its Affiliates were the
cause of or were responsible for the problem, PPI shall reimburse SANO for
the costs of the return, as well as any other costs or expenses incurred by
SANO as a result of the rejection or return.
(c) PPI's test results or basis for rejection shall be conclusive
unless SANO notifies PPI, within 30 days of receipt by SANO of the rejected
Licensed Products or samples or such longer periods of time as may be
reasonable in the circumstances to enable SANO to conduct (and receive the
results of) the appropriate tests, studies or investigations which SANO
should reasonably conduct to confirm the problem in question and to
identify the source thereof, that it disagrees with such test results or
its responsibility for the problem in question. In the event of such a
notice by SANO, representative samples of the batch of the Licensed Product
in question shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable independent
laboratory or consultant (if not a laboratory analysis issue) for analysis
or review, the costs of which shall be paid by the party that is determined
by the independent laboratory or consultant to have been responsible for
the rejection.
(d) If a Licensed Product is rejected by PPI, PPI's duty to pay
the amount payable to SANO pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof in respect of the
rejected Licensed Product shall be suspended until such time as it is
determined (I) by an independent laboratory or consultant that the Licensed
Product in question should not have been rejected by PPI or (II) by the
parties or by any arbitration conducted pursuant hereto or by a final
order of a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not subject to further
appeal) that any act or omission of, on behalf of or for which PPI or its
Affiliates is responsible was the cause of the problem that was the basis
for the rejection. If only a portion of an order is rejected, only the
duty to pay the amount allocable to such portion shall be suspended.
8.3 In the event any Licensed Products are appropriately rejected by
PPI (being Licensed Products that do not meet the applicable provisions of
Section 8.1 other than as a result of any act or omission by PPI
<PAGE>
or its Affiliates), SANO shall replace such Licensed Products with
conforming goods or, if requested by PPI, shall provide a credit to PPI for
the amount, if any, previously paid by PPI to SANO on account of the
Licensed Products in question. The credit shall be provided by SANO to PPI
immediately following the expiry of the period during which SANO may
dispute a Rejection Notice as contemplated in Section 8.2(c) above (unless
the Rejection Notice is disputed by SANO, in which event such credit shall
be given only if the dispute is resolved in favor of PPI). Replacement
Licensed Products, as aforesaid, shall be delivered to PPI at no cost to
PPI if PPI has already paid for the rejected Licensed Products and not
received a credit therefor, as aforesaid. All delivery costs, including
insurance, incident to the return of Licensed Products to SANO and delivery
of the replacement Licensed Products to PPI's Spring Valley facility shall
be paid by SANO, unless the rejection is determined not to have been
appropriately rejected, in which case the last sentence of Section 8.2(a)
shall apply.
ARTICLE IX
RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES
----------------------
9.1 Returns. If PPI, acting reasonably and in good faith, accepts
-------
from a customer a return of a Licensed Product and issues to such customer
a credit for the invoice price thereof, PPI may debit against the amount of
Additional Consideration, as hereinafter defined, due to SANO with respect
to Net Sales, as hereinafter defined, in the month in which such return
occurs, any Gross Profit, as hereinafter defined, previously paid, credited
or due to SANO in respect of the sale of such returned Licensed Product.
9.2 Handling of Returns.
-------------------
(a) In the event any Licensed Product is returned to PPI by its
customers because the Licensed Product is alleged to be defective and PPI
reasonably believes that such defect is due to the fault of SANO, PPI shall
notify SANO within ten (10) working days of any such return and provide or
make available to SANO such samples (if available) and other information
concerning the returned Licensed Product so as to allow SANO to test and
evaluate the allegedly defective Licensed Product. PPI shall retain a
sufficient number of samples of the allegedly defective Licensed Product so
that additional samples are available at a later date should additional
testing be required by an independent testing laboratory as described in
Section 9.2(b) below, or by PPI or SANO for their own purposes. If not
enough samples exist to be so divided, then the parties shall confer and
reach agreement as to the handling of any available samples.
(b) SANO shall complete its review and evaluation of the returned
Licensed Product
<PAGE>
within twenty (20) business days of receiving the returned Licensed Product
from PPI or such longer period of time as may be reasonable in the
circumstances to enable SANO to conduct or cause to be conducted such
tests, studies or investigations (and to receive the results therefrom) as
may be required to confirm or dispute the existence of the problem or to
identify the cause or source thereof.
9.3 Costs and Credits.
-----------------
(a) If SANO concludes or it is otherwise determined pursuant to
Section 9.3(b) hereof that the returned Licensed Product is defective due
to the fault of SANO:
(i) any replacement Licensed Product to be provided by SANO
in respect of the returned Licensed Product shall be made available to
PPI without charge or appropriate credit shall be given therefor
(giving account to any adjustment made pursuant to Section 9.1
hereof);
(ii) all delivery costs, including insurance, incident to
the delivery of the replacement Licensed Products to PPI's Spring
Valley facility shall be paid by SANO or appropriate credit shall be
given therefor; and
(iii) SANO shall provide a credit to PPI for the reasonable
costs incurred by PPI (or where the duty has been performed by an
Affiliate, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, for the
reasonable costs incurred by such Affiliate) in respect of the
defective Licensed Product.
(b) If SANO asserts that the returned Licensed Product is
defective due primarily to any act or omission of PPI or its Affiliates or
any agents or other persons acting on their behalf as aforesaid, then
representative samples of the Licensed Products shall be submitted to a
mutually acceptable independent laboratory or consultant (if not a
laboratory analysis issue) for analysis or review, the costs of which shall
be paid by the party determined by the independent laboratory or consultant
to have been responsible.
(c) If it is determined in accordance with Section 9.3(b) above
that any such defect is primarily due to any act or omission by PPI, then
no credit or other payment of costs shall be due from SANO, and PPI shall
reimburse SANO for all costs and expenses it incurred in connection with
the return and investigation.
(d) If it is determined in accordance with Section 9.3(b) above
that no such defect exists or, if existing, cannot be attributable
primarily to an act or omission of either party, then any replacement
Licensed Product in respect of the returned Licensed Product shall be made
available to PPI without additional charge or appropriate credit, if any,
shall be given therefor, but no other credits or payments of costs shall be
due from SANO.
<PAGE>
9.4 PPI acknowledges that the Licensed Products may be of a
perishable nature and that the Licensed Product must be stored and shipped
in accordance with the Specifications applicable thereto (to the extent
disclosed in writing to PPI or its Affiliates) or the conditions, if any,
set forth on its package label.
9.5 PPI agrees to notify SANO of any customer complaints with respect
to the quality, nature or integrity of a Licensed Product or alleged
adverse-drug experiences ("ADE") within five (5) working days of their
receipt by PPI and of any PPI or FDA complaints within 24 hours, except on
weekends and holidays. SANO shall have the sole and primary obligation to
file any required adverse experience report with FDA. SANO shall also be
responsible for maintaining complaint files as required by FDA regulations.
SANO agrees to investigate and respond in writing to any complaint or ADE
forwarded to it by PPI promptly and in no event later than 30 days after
receipt of the ADE or complaint from PPI (or such longer period as may be
required in the circumstances to enable SANO to conduct such tests,
studies or investigations as may be reasonably required [and to receive the
results therefrom] to enable SANO to appropriately respond). SANO shall
provide PPI with a copy of any correspondence, reports, or other documents
relating to a complaint or ADE within a reasonable period following
generation of such document by SANO.
9.6 The provisions of this Article 9 shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
DAMAGES, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
--------------------------------------
10.1 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X and to the
other provisions of this Agreement, SANO, on the one hand, and PPI, on the
other hand, covenant and agree to indemnify and save harmless the other of
them from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of
action, suits, proceedings, judgments, damages, expenses (including
reasonable attorney fees and expenses), losses, fines, penalties and other
similar assessments (the "Damages") relating to or arising out of a breach
by any such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements contained herein; provided that, except where the breach arises
out of a representation or warranty made by a party in this Agreement being
intentionally false or inaccurate, or constitutes a wilful material breach
by a party of any of its duties or obligations hereunder, the claim of an
aggrieved party for Damages arising out of the breach shall be limited to
claiming the amounts owing or payable to it in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and any out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including amounts paid or payable by it to third parties, other than
re-procurement costs [except to the extent contemplated in Section 14.3
hereof] which it has incurred and the aggrieved party shall not be
<PAGE>
entitled to recover from the defaulting or breaching party any lost profits
or consequential or punitive damages, including loss or damage to its
goodwill or reputation. For purposes of this Agreement where PPI is in
breach of its duties or obligations hereunder and such duties or
obligations, if delegated by PPI to any of its Affiliates, could reasonably
be performed by such Affiliate and PPI has either not delegated such duty
or obligation to such Affiliate or such Affiliate has either refused to
perform or willfully breached such duty or obligation then PPI shall be
deemed to have willfully breached such duty or obligation hereunder.
Similarly, whenever in this Agreement PPI is required to cause any of its
respective Affiliates to do or to refrain from doing any thing herein
provided and such Affiliate refuses to do or refrain from doing such thing
or otherwise willfully breaches the provision herein contemplated (on the
assumption that such Affiliate were bound by the provision herein
contemplated as if a signatory hereto) then PPI will be deemed to have
willfully breached the provision of this Agreement in question.
10.2 In the event that the release of a Licensed Product by PPI or its
Affiliates in the United States results in a third party claim:
(a) to the extent that the Damages awarded or incurred relate to
or arise out of the safety or effectiveness of the Licensed Product or the
manufacturing, packaging, labelling, storage or handling of the Product by
SANO, SANO shall be responsible therefor and shall indemnify and hold PPI
harmless from and against all such damages; and
(b) to the extent that the Damages awarded or incurred relate to
or arise out of the transportation, storage, handling or selling of the
Licensed Product by PPI or its Affiliates, then PPI shall be responsible
therefor and shall indemnify and hold SANO harmless from and against all
such damages.
Upon the assertion of any third party claim against a party hereto
that may give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, the
party claiming a right to indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall
give prompt notice to the party alleged to have the duty to indemnify (the
"Indemnifying Party") of the existence of such claim and shall give the
Indemnifying Party reasonable opportunity to control, defend and/or settle
such claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own selection;
provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall, at all times, have the
right fully to participate in such defense at its own expense and with
separate counsel and, provided, further, that both parties, to the extent
they are not contractually or legally excluded therefrom or otherwise
prejudiced in their legal position by so doing, shall cooperate with each
other and their respective insurers in relation to the defense of such
third party claims. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to defend
such claim, the Indemnified Party may not settle the claim without the
prior written
<PAGE>
consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may not settle
the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party
unless, as part of such settlement, the Indemnified Party shall be
unconditionally released therefrom or the Indemnified Party otherwise
consents thereto in writing. If the Indemnifying Party shall, within a
reasonable time after such notice has been given, fail to defend,
compromise or settle such claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to defend, compromise or settle such claim without prejudice to its
rights of indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of any dispute with respect to indemnity hereunder, each party shall
be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to join and
implead the other in any such action.
In addition to the foregoing, SANO will defend, at its sole cost and
expense, its rights with respect to the Licensed Products and PPI's rights
to distribute the Licensed Products hereunder against any claim, action,
suit or proceeding ("Action") by any third party asserting prior or
superior rights with respect to the Licensed Product, product infringement
or similar claims (other than as may be based on acts of PPI not
contemplated herein or authorized hereby) and shall indemnify and hold PPI
and its affiliates harmless from the cost of the defense thereof. PPI
shall, at all times, have the right fully to participate in such defense at
its own expense. SANO shall control such defense and shall, in its
reasonable discretion, defend or settle such Action; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing SANO shall not enter into any settlement or
compromise of any such Action which requires PPI or any of its Affiliates
to make payments of any kind without the prior written consent of PPI or an
unconditional release of PPI and its Affiliates with respect to the subject
matter of such Action. The provisions of this paragraph should not be
construed as requiring SANO to bear any damages, judgments or other
liabilities entered against PPI in any such Action, provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed as or deemed a waiver of any rights PPI
may have against SANO as a result of such Action hereunder, at law or
otherwise, and all of such rights, if any, are expressly reserved.
10.3 Insurance. Each of SANO and PPI shall carry product liability
---------
insurance in an amount at least equal to ________________________ with an
insurance carrier reasonably acceptable to the other party, such insurance
to be in place at times reasonably acceptable to the parties, but not
later than the date of the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product.
Each party shall promptly furnish to the other evidence of the maintenance
of the insurance required by this Section 10.3 and shall name the other as
an "additional insured" under such insurance policy. Each party's coverage
shall (i) include broad form vendor coverage and such other provisions as
are typical in the industry and (ii) name the other party as an additional
insured thereunder. SANO shall carry clinical testing insurance in an
amount
<PAGE>
and at times reasonably acceptable to the parties.
10.4 Survival. The provisions of this Article X shall survive the
--------
termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided that the requirement
to maintain the insurance contemplated in Section 10.3 above shall only
survive for a period of 36 months from the effective date of termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION, REPORTING AND VERIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------
11.1 Additional Consideration. As additional consideration for SANO
------------------------
entering into this Agreement and permitting PPI to sell the Licensed
Products in the United States in accordance with the provisions hereof, PPI
agrees to pay to SANO the additional amounts more particularly described in
Exhibit B to this Agreement in respect of the aggregate Net Sales (as that
term is defined in Exhibit B) of the Licensed Products. The amount payable
to SANO determined in accordance with Exhibit B is herein and in Exhibit B
annexed hereto referred to as the "Additional Consideration." PPI shall pay
to SANO, monthly, on the seventh day of each month, commencing on the
seventh day of the third month after the month in which sales of the
Licensed Products commence, the Additional Consideration payable to SANO in
respect of the Net Sales of the Licensed Products made by PPI and its
Affiliates during the third preceding month. For greater certainty,
examples of what constitutes the "third preceding calendar month" are
contained in Exhibit B annexed hereto. The consideration payable to SANO
pursuant to this Article XI shall be paid to it as part of the sale price
of the Licensed Product from SANO to PPI and shall not be treated as a
royalty or similar payment.
11.2 Reporting and Information Obligations of PPI.
--------------------------------------------
(a) Approved Contracts. PPI shall provide to SANO, monthly,
------------------
within seven days of the expiry of each calendar month during the term
hereof, a copy of each Approved Contract (as hereinafter defined), entered
into by PPI with its customers during the immediately preceding month
irrespective of whether a copy of such contract had previously been
forwarded to SANO. If the Approved Contract has a term of less than 18
months, PPI may delete (e.g., by blacking out) any information in the
Approved Contract that tends to indicate the identity or location of the
PPI customer; provided, however, that PPI marks each such Approved Contract
with a unique customer code relative to the customer that is the party to
that Approved Contract.
(b) Net Sales and Gross Profits. PPI shall report to SANO
---------------------------
monthly, on the 7th day of each calendar month during the term hereof and
for 12 months after the termination hereof:
<PAGE>
(i) a sales summary, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
C, showing all sales of the Licensed Products made by PPI and its
Affiliates during the immediately preceding calendar month;
(ii) a detailed statement showing all returns and all
credits, rebates, allowances and other debit and credits relevant to
the calculation of Net Sales and Gross Profits (as those terms are
defined in Exhibit B annexed hereto) for the immediately preceding
calendar month together with copies of all documentation to support
allowable adjustments used in computing Net Sales during the period in
question;
(iii) a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer
of PPI certifying that, to the best of his knowledge, information and
belief, after reasonable investigation, the foregoing statements
contemplated in (i) and (ii) above are true and correct and do not
omit any material information required to be provided pursuant to this
Section 11.2(b) and
(iv) a summary of the calculation of the Additional
Consideration payable to SANO on such date.
For purposes of this Agreement a sale shall be considered to have been
made at the time the Product(s) are shipped to the customer.
11.3 PPI shall make available for inspection by SANO at PPI's
facilities and shall cause its Affiliates to make available for inspection
by SANO at their respective facilities, promptly following a reasonable
request therefor, such additional information concerning any sales
(including, without limitation, in respect of any sale, the date of the
shipment, the code number of the customer [or the name of the customer in
the case of a customer disclosed to SANO pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof
and an Approved Contract], the number of units of each Licensed Product in
each dosage involved (broken down by container size per Product [e.g., 18
boxes of 30 patches of Product A], and the invoice price charged by PPI or
its Affiliates), credits, returns, allowances and other credits and debits
previously reported to SANO pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(ii) hereof or with
respect to Approved Contracts previously reported to SANO pursuant to
Section 11.2(a) hereof as SANO may reasonably require from time to time
(except information concerning the identity or location of a customer where
PPI is not already required to disclose that information to SANO pursuant
to Section 11.2(a) hereof) to enable SANO to confirm or reconcile the
amounts which are or were to have been paid to it pursuant to this
Agreement (without the need to audit the books and records of PPI or its
Affiliates pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof).
<PAGE>
11.4 PPI shall keep and shall cause its Affiliates to keep complete
and accurate records and books of account containing all information
required for the computation and verification of the amounts to be paid to
SANO hereunder. PPI further agrees that at the request of SANO, it will
permit and will cause its Affiliates to permit one or more accountants
selected by SANO, except any to whom PPI or such Affiliate has some
reasonable objection, at any time and from time to time, to have access
during ordinary working hours to such records as may be necessary to audit,
with respect to any payment report period ending prior to such request, the
correctness of any report or payment made under this Agreement, or to
obtain information as to the payments due for any such period in the case
of failure of PPI to report or make payment pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. Such accountant shall not disclose to SANO any information
relating to the business of PPI except that which is reasonably necessary
to inform SANO of:
(i) the accuracy or inaccuracy of PPI's reports and payments;
(ii) compliance or non-compliance by PPI with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement; and
(iii) the extent of any such inaccuracy or non-compliance;
provided, that if it is not reasonably possible to separate
information relating to the business of PPI from that which is
reasonably necessary to so inform SANO, the accountant may disclose
any information necessary to so inform SANO and SANO shall retain all
other information disclosed as confidential.
PPI shall provide and shall cause its Affiliates to provide full and
complete access to the accountant to PPI's and such Affiliates' pertinent
books and records and the accountant shall have the right to make and
retain copies (including photocopies). Should any such accountant discover
information indicating inaccuracy in any of PPI's payments or non-
compliance by PPI or its Affiliates with any of such terms and conditions,
and should PPI fail to acknowledge in writing to SANO the deficiency or
non-compliance discovered by such accountant within ten (10) business days
of being advised of same in writing by the accountant, the accountant shall
have the right to deliver to SANO copies (including photocopies) of any
pertinent portions of the records and books of account which relate to or
disclose the deficiency or non-compliance (to the extent not acknowledged
by PPI). In the event that the accountant shall have questions which are
not in its judgment answered by the books and records provided to it, the
accountant shall have the right to confer with officers of PPI or such
Affiliate, including PPI's or such Affiliate's Chief Financial Officer. If
any audit under this Section shall reveal an underpayment or understatement
of the amount payable to SANO by more than $10,000.00 for any
<PAGE>
period in question, PPI shall reimburse SANO for all costs and expenses
relating to such investigational audit. SANO shall only have the right to
audit such books and records of PPI and its Affiliates pursuant to this
Section 11.4 no more often than twice in any contract year unless earlier
in such contract year or in any of the prior three contract years such
investigation revealed a discrepancy of more than $10,000.00, as aforesaid,
in which case SANO shall have the right to audit such books and records
three times in such contract year. For purposes of this Agreement, a
contract year shall be a period of twelve months commencing on either the
date of this Agreement or on an anniversary thereof. Unless the disclosure
of same is reasonably required by SANO in connection with any litigation or
arbitration arising out of such audit, the accountant shall not reveal to
SANO the name or address (or other information reasonably tending to
identify the location of a customer) of any customer of PPI or its
Affiliates [other than one whose name has been disclosed to SANO pursuant
to Section 11.2 hereof], but shall identify such customer to SANO, if
necessary, by the customer code number used by PPI in its reporting
obligations to SANO [and PPI and its Affiliates shall make such information
known to the accountant]. PPI may, as a condition to providing any
accountant access to its books and records (or those of its Affiliates),
require SANO to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement consistent
with the terms of this Section 11.4.
11.5 Except as specifically set forth to the contrary, all payments to
be made under this Agreement shall bear interest equal to two percent above
the prime rate as quoted by Citibank N.A., New York, New York, calculated
daily (as at the close of business on each such day) and compounded
monthly, from the day following the day the payment is due until the date
on which it is paid. Any adjustment to the prime rate as quoted by
Citibank N.A. from time to time shall result in a corresponding adjustment
to the rate of interest payable hereunder, the rate of interest quoted by
Citibank N.A. at the close of business on each day to be the rate
applicable for such day.
11.6 The obligation of PPI to make the payments contemplated in
Section 11.1 and to provide the reports and information contemplated in
Sections 11.2 and 11.3 and the right of SANO to conduct its audits or
investigations pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof shall survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall apply to all Licensed
Products made available to PPI by SANO prior to the effective date of the
termination or expiration of this Agreement (or made available to PPI after
such date pursuant to any provision of this Agreement) notwithstanding that
such Licensed Products may have been resold by PPI or its Affiliates to its
or their customers after the effective date of termination or expiration.
For greater certainty, the parties acknowledge and agree that it is their
intention that PPI pay to SANO the Additional Consideration applicable
<PAGE>
to Net Sales of all Licensed Products supplied by SANO to PPI pursuant to
this Agreement (in respect of which the purchase price charged by SANO to
PPI therefor [whether paid or owing] was determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.2 hereof or was provided to PPI free of such charge
pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement) irrespective of whether
such Licensed Product is resold by PPI or its Affiliates prior to or
subsequent to the effective date of termination or expiration of this
Agreement and that SANO's rights pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof shall
continue for a period of twelve (12) months following the final sale of all
such Licensed Products.
11.7 PPI shall have the right, upon reasonable advance written notice
to SANO, to inspect SANO's facilities at which the Licensed Products are
being manufactured to monitor compliance by SANO with FDA Good
Manufacturing Practices and to otherwise confirm that the Licensed Products
are being manufactured in accordance with their respective Specifications.
Similarly, SANO shall have the right, upon reasonable advance written
notice to PPI to inspect those facilities of PPI and any of its Affiliates
which are used in the storage of any of the Licensed Products to ensure
compliance by PPI or such Affiliate with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices
and to otherwise ensure that the Licensed Products do not cease to meet
their Specifications as a result of any storage or shipping conducted by
PPI or its Affiliates. SANO shall cooperate with PPI in providing access
to its facilities and PPI shall cooperate and shall cause its Affiliates to
cooperate in providing access to SANO to its facilities and those of its
Affiliates used as aforesaid.
11.8 SANO shall keep complete and accurate records and books of
account containing all information required for the computation and
verification of SANO's Costs as contemplated in Section 7.2 hereof with
respect to the Licensed Product(s) made available to PPI by SANO pursuant
hereto. SANO further agrees that at the request of PPI it will permit one
or more accountants selected by PPI except any to whom SANO has some
reasonable objection, to have access during ordinary working hours to such
books and records as may be necessary to audit the amounts previously
charged by SANO to PPI pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Such accountant
shall not disclose to PPI any information relating to the business of SANO
except the accuracy or inaccuracy of SANO's previously reported charges and
the amount, if any, that PPI may have been overcharged or undercharged
with respect to Licensed Products made available to it. Should any such
accountant discover information indicating that PPI has been overcharged
for Products made available to it, and should SANO fail to acknowledge in
writing to PPI the inaccuracy discovered by such accountant within ten (10)
business days of being advised of same in writing by the accountant, the
accountant shall have the right to make and retain copies (including
photocopies) of any pertinent portions of the records and books of account
<PAGE>
which relate to or disclose the inaccuracy (to the extent not acknowledged
by SANO). SANO shall provide full and complete access to the accountant to
SANO's pertinent books and records. In the event that the accountant shall
have questions which are not in its judgment answered by such books and
records, the accountant shall have the right to confer with officers of
SANO, including SANO's Chief Financial Officer. If any audit under this
Section shall reveal an overstatement of the amount payable to SANO by more
than $10,000.00 for the Licensed Products in question, SANO shall
reimburse PPI for all costs and expenses relating to such
investigation/audit. It is understood and agreed that PPI shall only have
the right to audit such books and records of SANO pursuant to this Section
11.8 no more often than twice in any contract year unless earlier in such
contract year or in any of the prior three contract years such
investigation revealed a discrepancy of more than $10,000.00, as aforesaid,
in which case PPI shall have the right to audit such books and records
three times in such contract year. Unless the disclosure of same is
reasonably required by PPI in connection with any litigation or arbitration
arising out of such audit, the accountant shall not reveal to PPI the name
or address (or other information reasonably tending to identify the
location of a supplier) of any supplier of materials to SANO in the
manufacturing or packaging of the Licensed Products (but shall identify
such supplier to PPI if necessary, by a code name or number supplied by
such accountant) or the name of or financial information relating to any
employee of SANO. SANO may, as a condition to providing any accountant
access to its books and records, require PPI to execute a reasonable
confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of this Section 11.8.
The rights of PPI pursuant to this Section 11.8 shall survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of one year.
ARTICLE XII
OPTION PRODUCTS
---------------
12.1 Option Products. With respect to the Option Products, including
---------------
for the purposes of this Section 12.1, any product developed by SANO within
ten years of the Effective Date which is a generic version of an existing
marketed transdermal drug, PPI shall have the option, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to include such products, on a product-by-product
basis, as Licensed Products hereunder, in accordance with the following
provisions.
12.2 Option Product Development Program. For each Option Product,
----------------------------------
SANO shall devise and communicate to PPI a clinical and product development
program and a related budget, setting forth (i) a proposed schedule for
pre-clinical and clinical activities required or reasonably necessary to
obtain
<PAGE>
governmental approvals for such Option Product, (ii) the Licensed Product
Fee for which it is willing to include such product as a Licensed Product
hereunder (which shall be reasonably related to the Costs of product
development and shall include only ____% [but not more than _________] of
the costs of pre-clinical activities); (iii) the developmental milestones
that would trigger payment of appropriate portions of such Licensed Product
Fee, which payments shall reflect the related expenditures involved in the
pre-clinical activities (to the limits set forth above) and the clinical
testing program and (iv) any special storage or shipping requirements (the
"Option Product Development Program"). SANO shall also advise PPI of a
reasonable Product Sales Threshold (as hereinafter defined) for the initial
24-month period after the product is to be made available for commercial
sale, that would be applicable to the product if it were included as a
Licensed Product hereunder. Within 30 days of its receipt of an Option
Product Development Program, PPI shall notify SANO whether it wishes to
exercise its option to have the relevant product included hereunder as a
Licensed Product. If PPI notifies SANO within such 30 days that it wishes
to exercise such option, the product will be treated for all purposes as a
Licensed Product hereunder, the Option Product Development Program shall
become a part of this Agreement and PPI shall become obligated to make the
payments described therein. If PPI fails to notify SANO of its election to
exercise such option within such 30 days, SANO may enter into a license or
distribution agreement with respect to such Option Product with a third
party on substantially the same terms as set forth in the Option Product
Development Program, and providing for payments for products and additional
consideration consistent with the provisions hereof. SANO may not enter
into such an agreement with a third party on terms substantially different
from those set forth in the relevant Option Product Development Program and
herein without first offering such terms to PPI for a period of thirty
days.
ARTICLE XIII
TERMS AND TERMINATION
---------------------
13.1 This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof and
shall remain in effect for a period of ten years per Licensed Product
starting on the date such Licensed Product becomes available for sale in
commercial quantities, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. Thereafter, this Agreement shall
automatically be renewed as to each Licensed Product from year to year
unless either party gives notice of termination to the other party at least
one hundred and twenty days prior to the expiry of the initial term or of
any renewal term.
13.2 Either party may, by notice in writing to the other party,
terminate this Agreement if such
<PAGE>
other party shall have breached any of its material duties or obligations
under this Agreement (other than the obligations of PPI to pay to SANO any
amount due to SANO hereunder [whether on account of Additional
Consideration, the price for the Licensed Products or otherwise] or to
provide SANO with the reports or information contemplated in Section 11.2
or 11.3 hereof) and such breach shall remain uncured for at least sixty
days after the aggrieved party shall have given notice of the breach to the
other party.
13.3 SANO may, by notice in writing to PPI, terminate this Agreement
if PPI fails to pay to SANO any amount payable by PPI to SANO hereunder,
whether on account of the Additional Consideration, the purchase price for
the Licensed Products, interest or otherwise, as and when the same shall
have become due and payable or PPI shall have failed to deliver (or caused
to be delivered, as the case may be), in timely fashion, the reports or
information contemplated in Section 11.2 or 11.3 hereof, and in either
case, such breach shall have continued unremedied for a period of twelve
business days after written notice of such breach has been given by SANO to
PPI; provided that PPI shall not have the right to such twelve-day grace
period within which to cure such default and SANO shall have the immediate
right to terminate the Agreement for such breach if PPI shall have
previously breached Section 11.2 or 11.3, or failed to remit any sums of at
least $10,000.00 to SANO, when due, in the aggregate, one time in the
twelve month period immediately preceding the default in question.
13.4 Either party may terminate this Agreement on thirty days prior
written notice to the other party if such party or the other party is
legally prohibited from performing its obligations hereunder (other than by
reason of a breach of its obligations hereunder) or becomes (or, in the
case of PPI, its Affiliate becomes) an Ineligible Person (and, where the
party purporting to terminate the Agreement is also the party prohibited
from performing or it or its Affiliate is the Ineligible Person, it [or its
Affiliate, as the case may be] has made diligent good faith best efforts to
remove the prohibition or its status as an Ineligible Person) and such
prohibition or status as an Ineligible Person shall have continued
uninterrupted for a period of 120 days.
13.5 Either party may terminate this Agreement in respect of a
particular Licensed Product (the "Specific Product"), but this Agreement
shall continue in respect of any other Licensed Product, on thirty (30)
days prior written notice to the other party (which notice must be
delivered within 90 days of the expiration of the applicable contract
year) if the Gross Profit (as that term is defined in Exhibit B annexed
hereto) attributable to aggregate Net Sales of the Specific Product made by
PRI and its Affiliates for any complete contract year after the second
anniversary of the date on which such Specified Product became available
for sale shall be less than the amounts stated in or determined pursuant
to Section 13.8; provided, however, SANO
<PAGE>
may not terminate with respect to any Specific Product pursuant to this
Section 13.5 without the consent of PPI in the event that SANO shall have
previously terminated the exclusive nature of the Right pursuant to Section
13.8 and shall be selling, directly or indirectly, such Licensed Product in
the United States.
13.6 Either party may terminate this Agreement in accordance with the
provisions of Section 15.1 hereof.
13.7 PPI or SANO shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon
written notice to the other in the event that any one or more of the
following events shall become applicable to such other party (herein
referred to as the "Party"):
(a) an order is made or a resolution or other action of such
Party is taken for the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or other
termination of its corporate existence;
(b) the Party commits a voluntary act of bankruptcy, becomes
insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or proposes
to its creditors a reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment
of its debts or obligations or otherwise proposes to take advantage of or
shelter under any statute in force in the United States for the protection
of debtors;
(c) if any proceeding is taken with respect to a compromise or
arrangement, or to have such Party declared bankrupt or to have a receiver
appointed in respect of such Party or a substantial portion of its
property and such proceeding is instituted by such Party or is not opposed
by such Party or if such proceeding is instituted by a Person other than
such Party, such Party does not proceed diligently and in good faith to
have such proceeding withdrawn forthwith;
(d) a receiver or a receiver and manager of any of the assets of
such Party is appointed and such receiver or receiver and manager is not
removed within ninety days of such appointment;
(e) such Party ceases or takes steps to cease to carry on its
business.
SANO shall similarly have the right to terminate this Agreement upon
written notice to PRI if any of the foregoing events becomes applicable to
any of its Affiliates.
13.8 (a) If
(i) in the twenty-four (24) month period (such period being
herein referred to as the "A Period") beginning on the date (the "A
Commencement Date") the first of any shipments of Licensed Product "A"
is made available to PPI hereunder, the aggregate Net Sales of
Licensed Product "A" for such A Period is less than the Product Sales
Threshold (as hereinafter defined);
(ii) in the twenty-four (24) month period (such period being
herein referred to
<PAGE>
as the "B Period") beginning on the date (the "B Commencement Date")
the first of any shipments of Licensed Product "B" is made available
to PPI hereunder, the aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Product "B" for
such B Period is less than the Product Sales Threshold; or
(iii) in any twenty-four (24) month period (such period
being herein referred to as the "O Period") beginning on the date
(the "O Commencement Date") the first of any shipments of each other
Licensed Product, if any, hereunder is made available to PPI
hereunder, the aggregate Net Sales of any such other Licensed Product
for such Period is less than the Product Sales Threshold; or
(iv) in any twelve month period commencing on the second and
each subsequent anniversary of the A Commencement Date, the B
Commencement Date or any O Commencement Date, the Net Sales of the
relevant Licensed Product sold by PPI and its Affiliates in such
period is less than the Product Sales Threshold;
and the shortfall in sales cannot be attributable primarily to the fault of
SANO, SANO shall have the right to convert PPI's Right hereunder from an
exclusive to a non-exclusive right to distribute such Licensed Product upon
ninety days prior written notice to PPI. As used herein, as to any
Licensed Product, the Product Sales Threshold shall mean an amount
reasonably agreed upon by PPI and SANO after consideration of relevant
market factors and conditions, provided that if PPI and SANO shall fail or
be unable to agree as to any Licensed Product for any period in question,
the Product Sales Threshold for such period and Licensed Product shall be
____________________________________________.
(b) Notwithstanding the exercise by SANO of its right pursuant to
Section 13.8(A) hereof, and the resultant conversion of PPI to a non-
exclusive distributor hereunder, PPI shall have the right to sell the
Licensed Products on a non-exclusive basis on the terms and conditions as
set forth herein, except as provided otherwise in this Paragraph 13.8,
during the balance of the term of the Agreement (subject to earlier
termination as herein provided) and SANO shall continue to supply the
Licensed Products to PPI in accordance with the provisions hereof, provided
that the obligation of SANO to use its reasonable best efforts to supply
PPI with its requirements of the Licensed Products shall take into account
PPI's requirements as well as the requirements of SANO and any other third
party distributor or distributors appointed by SANO to sell the Licensed
Products in the United States.
(c) In the event that SANO exercises its rights under Section
13.8(a) and contemporaneously therewith or subsequent thereto enters into
an agreement with any Person (herein referred to as a "Third Party
Licensee"), authorizing or licensing such Third Party Licensee to sell any
of the Products in the United
<PAGE>
States on royalty, payment or other cash equivalent or otherwise readily
economically measured terms more favorable to the Third Party Licensee
(such more favorable terms being herein referred to as the "MFP") then:
(i) SANO shall promptly notify PPI of such agreement and
shall describe in the notice both the MFP and any obligations, duties,
undertakings or other consideration to be provided by the Third Party
Licensee; and
(ii) PPI shall have thirty days from the date of receipt of
such notice to notify SANO whether PPI desires to have the benefit of
the MFP, which can be accepted only if PPI shall agree (to the extent
not already assumed in this Agreement) to any additional obligations,
duties, or undertakings, and to provide any consideration to be
provided by the Third Party Licensee.
PPI's entitlement to seek the benefit of the MFP shall be conditioned upon
and subject to PPI assuming and being capable of fully performing all the
non-cash obligations assumed by the Third Party Licensee in a manner
substantially as valuable to SANO. If PPI shall dispute such assessment,
PPI shall so notify SANO, whereupon the issue shall be deemed to be a
dispute between the parties and subject to resolution pursuant to Section
16.2 hereof.
13.9 Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement
pursuant to this Article XIII or any other provision of this Agreement, all
rights and obligations which were incurred or which matured prior to the
effective date of termination or expiration, including accrued Additional
Consideration and any cause of action for breach of contract, shall
survive termination and be subject to enforcement under the terms of this
Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any duty of PPI
or SANO existing prior to the effective date of termination or expiration
and which is, whether or not by expressed terms, intended to survive
termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, termination
shall not affect any duty to keep confidential any Confidential Information
(within the meaning of Section 14.4 hereof) disclosed by one party to the
other (or its Affiliate) as contemplated in Section 14.4 hereof, but rather
such Confidential Information shall be held by the receiving party subject
to such restrictions on use and disclosure as provided in the said Section.
13.10 Upon termination of this Agreement by PPI pursuant to Section
13.2 or 13.7 or pursuant to Section 13.4 as a result of SANO's inability to
perform its obligations hereunder or becoming an Ineligible Person or the
termination of this Agreement by SANO pursuant to Section 13.5 hereof, SANO
shall, at the request of PPI, repurchase all Licensed Products then in the
possession, custody or control of PPI and available for sale (and which
have not been adulterated since they were made available for pick up by
PPI) and all
<PAGE>
packaging material in the possession, custody or control of PPI which were
specifically acquired by PPI for these Licensed Products and which cannot
be used by PPI or its Affiliates for any other products sold by any of
them, at the price originally paid by PPI therefor plus all transportation
costs previously incurred (even if not yet paid) by PPI payable in cash on
delivery by PPI to SANO. SANO shall pay all transportation costs
associated with shipping the repurchased Licensed Product to SANO or to
such other places SANO may require.
13.11 In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the
provisions of Section 13.4 hereof as a result of a party (herein referred
to as the "Prohibited Party") being unable to perform its obligations
hereunder as therein contemplated or having become (or its Affiliate having
become) an Ineligible Person and within twelve (12) months of the effective
date of termination of this Agreement the Prohibited Party is again able to
perform its obligations hereunder or has ceased (or its Affiliate has
ceased) to be an Ineligible Person, then the Prohibited Party shall, by
notice in writing, advise the other party (herein referred to as the
"Receiving Party") that it is no longer legally prohibited from performing
its duties and obligations hereunder or that it has ceased (or that its
Affiliate has ceased) to be an Ineligible Person and the Receiving Party
shall have the right, to be exercised by notice in writing given to the
Prohibited Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of the aforesaid
notice from Prohibited Party, to reinstate this Agreement; provided,
however, that if the Prohibited Party is PPI then SANO shall have the right
to reinstate this Agreement as if a proper notice had been given pursuant
to Section 13.8 of this Agreement and PPI shall be reinstated on a non-
exclusive basis, but only to the extent that such reinstatement will not
violate the provisions of any agreement SANO shall have entered into during
the period PPI was a Prohibited Party.
13.12 If SANO terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2,
13.3 and 13.7 hereof then PPI shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not
to, for a period of twelve (12) months following the effective date of
termination, sell in the United States any Competitive Product.
13.13 In the event that SANO terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.5 hereof, SANO shall, at the request of PPI, make available to
PPI within a reasonable period of time of such termination, such number of
units of each Licensed Product as shall be equal to the net number of units
of such Licensed Product sold by PPI during the entire contract year
immediately preceding the year in which this Agreement is so terminated or
such lesser number of units of each such Product as PPI shall advise SANO
in writing within ten business days of such termination. Such Licensed
Products shall be made available to PPI in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all
such Licensed Products as if such Licensed Products had been supplied by
SANO during the term of this Agreement.
<PAGE>
13.14 If SANO has not received at least one approval of an ANDA for a
Licensed Product prior to November 30, 1996, PPI may terminate this
Agreement and neither party shall have any obligation hereunder (other than
applicable confidentiality provisions).
ARTICLE XIV
RECALLS, ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS AND CONFIDENTIALITY
---------------------------------------------------
14.1 Recalls. In the event that it becomes necessary to conduct a
-------
recall, market withdrawal or field correction (hereafter collectively
referred to as "recall") of any Product manufactured by SANO and sold by
PPI or its Affiliates the following provisions shall govern such a recall:
(a) After consulting with SANO, and on terms and conditions
reasonably satisfactory to SANO, PPI shall conduct (and shall cause its
Affiliate to conduct) the recall and shall have primary responsibility
therefore and SANO and PPI shall each cooperate with the other in recalling
any affected Licensed Product(s). PPI covenants and agrees to maintain and
to cause its Affiliates to maintain such records of all sales of the
Products made by PPI or its Affiliates as are required by the FDA or as are
reasonably appropriate for a distributor of pharmaceutical products to
maintain so as to enable a recall to be properly completed.
(b) Irrespective of whether the recall is initiated by PPI or by
SANO:
(i) If it is later demonstrated that the reason for the
recall was due primarily to acts or omissions of SANO (or the safety
or efficacy of the Licensed Product other than as a result of acts or
omissions of PPI or its Affiliates), then SANO shall pay or reimburse,
as the case may be, all reasonable direct out-of-pocket expenses,
including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees and expenses
and credits and recall expenses claimed by and paid to customers,
incurred by PPI or SANO in connection with performing any such recall,
provided that expenses incurred by PPI shall be in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the recall approved by SANO; or
(ii) If it is later determined that the reason for the
recall was due primarily to the acts or omissions of PPI or its
Affiliates, then PPI shall pay or reimburse, as the case may be, all
direct out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses and credits and recall expenses claimed
by and paid to customers, incurred by PPI or SANO in connection with
performing any such recall; or
(iii) If the parties are unable to agree that the cause of
the recall was due primarily
<PAGE>
to the act or omission of one of the parties (or its Affiliates, as
the case may be) within sixty days of the initiation of the recall and
have not commenced arbitration proceedings to resolve such dispute
within such sixty day period then all direct out-of-pocket costs
incurred by PPI and SANO, including but not limited to reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses and credits and recall expenses claimed
by and paid to customers, shall be shared by the parties in proportion
to their sharing of Gross Profits in respect of the Licensed Products
recalled.
Each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to minimize the
expenses of recall which it incurs. It is understood and agreed that the
direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the recall contemplated in
Paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall not include the invoice price
charged by PRI or its Affiliates to the customers for the Products
recalled, which amount shall be dealt with in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9 hereof and shall also not include any excess re-
procurement costs (within the meaning of Paragraph 14.3 hereof) and related
penalties and assessments, which costs, penalties and assessments shall be
an expense of PPI except to the extent that it is an expense of SANO
pursuant to Section 14.3 hereof (provided that where the provisions of
Paragraph (iii) above apply, the excess reprocurement costs and related
penalties and assessments incurred pursuant to Approved Contracts [as that
term is defined in Section 14.3 hereof] shall be shared by the parties in
the proportion in which Gross Profits are shared in respect of the recalled
Products sold pursuant to such Approved Contracts).
(c) All Licensed Products recalled pursuant to this Section 14.1
shall be treated as Licensed Products returned to PPI by its customers and
the provisions of Section 9 shall apply thereto.
(d) The party initiating the recall shall inform FDA of the
proposed recall; however, nothing contained herein shall preclude either
party from informing FDA of any proposed or actual recall by either party
should the recalling party fail to inform FDA of that recall within ten
(10) days of a written request by the non-recalling party to so inform FDA.
(e) For greater certainty, in the event of a recall, neither
party or its Affiliates shall profit from any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by it in connection with the recall and for which it is reimbursed
by the other party and, except where the recall relates directly to an
intentional breach of a representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement or arises directly out of a wilful material breach by a party of
any of its duties or obligations hereunder (in each case, as contemplated
in Section 10.1 hereof), neither party shall have a claim against the
other party for any damages, losses or expenses which it suffers or incurs
as a result thereof except to the extent permitted or contemplated in this
Section 14.
<PAGE>
(f) Each party shall provide reasonable evidence to the other of
the out-of-pocket expenses being claimed by it and the rights of SANO
pursuant to Section 11.4 and the rights of PPI pursuant to Section 11.8
shall apply thereto.
14.2 ANDA-Related FDA Correspondence. Each of the parties shall
-------------------------------
provide the other with a copy of any correspondence or notices received by
such party from FDA relating or referring to the Licensed Product(s) within
ten (10) days of receipt. Each party shall also provide the other with
copies of any responses to any such correspondence or notices within ten
(10) days of making the response.
14.3 Excess Re-procurement Costs.
---------------------------
(a) In the event that a recall occurs which recall was
necessitated primarily by any act or omission of SANO and SANO does not
supply PPI with replacement Licensed Product on a timely basis or if SANO,
in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, fails to make Licensed
Product(s) available to PPI, SANO shall, in addition to any reimbursement
required under Section 14.1, pay any excess re-procurement costs and/or
related penalties or assessments incurred by, or assessed on, PPI by a
customer of PPI pursuant to an Approved Contract (as that term is defined
below) due to PPI's inability to supply Licensed Product(s) to such
customer due to the aforesaid acts, omissions or breaches of SANO.
(b) SANO shall cooperate with PPI with respect to any legal or
administrative proceedings that arise pursuant to the Approved Contracts as
a result of PPI's inability to supply Licensed Product(s) to such customer
due to the aforesaid acts, omissions or breaches by SANO. The foregoing
shall be without prejudice to any other damages, expense or costs that PPI
may have suffered in connection with SANO's inability to supply the
Licensed Product as aforesaid, subject to the limitations and other
provisions set forth in this Agreement.
(c) For purposes hereof the term "Approved Contract" shall mean a
contract entered into by PPI on or after the Execution Date with one of its
customers:
(i) pursuant to which PPI agrees to supply such customer
with pharmaceutical products which include the Licensed Products (or
any of them), and which provides that if PPI fails to supply such
customer with the Licensed Product in accordance with specified terms
and conditions therein set forth then such customer shall have the
right to procure a comparable replacement product for the Licensed
Product in substitution for the Licensed Products that PPI has failed
to supply to such customer in accordance with the provisions of its
agreement and to charge back to PPI any costs and expenses incurred by
such customer to acquire such comparable replacement product in excess
of the
<PAGE>
price which was to have been charged by PPI to the customer for the
Licensed Products which it failed to provide (such excess costs and
expenses being the excess re-procurement costs contemplated in Section
14.1 and in this Section 14.3);
(ii) which has a term of twelve (12) months or less; and
(iii) which provides for the supply of the relevant
Licensed Product in an amount not greater than the amount forecast by
PPI pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, taking into account all other
sales of the Licensed Product in the relevant period; or
(iv) where the contract has a term of more than 12 months,
or provides for an amount greater than that contemplated by Paragraph
(iii) above, SANO has approved or has been deemed to have approved
such contract in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.3(v)
hereof; or
(v) if the approval of SANO as contemplated in Paragraph
(iv) above is requested, PPI shall have provided to SANO, in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, a complete copy of
the proposed final agreement between PPI and its customer prior to
entering into such contract. A copy of any contract to be provided to
SANO as contemplated in this Paragraph (v) shall be forwarded to SANO
in the manner contemplated in Section 15.4 hereof. SANO shall have a
period of ten business days from the date upon which copies of such
contract are actually received by it as aforesaid to notify PPI in
writing that it does not approve of the contract and failing such
notice from SANO within such ten business day period SANO shall be
deemed to have approved of such contract.
14.4 Confidentiality.
---------------
(a) The parties agree that, without the prior written consent of
the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or except as
may be required under law or court order, the provisions of the Agreement
shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to any Person not
affiliated with any of the parties.
(b) PPI and SANO hereby agree not to reveal or disclose any
Confidential Information (as defined below) to any Person without first
obtaining the written consent of the disclosing party, except as may be
necessary in regulatory proceedings or litigation. For purposes hereof
Confidential Information shall mean all information, in whatever form,
which is or was disclosed by one party to another or to an Affiliate of
the other prior to or during the term of this Agreement and which relates
in any way to the Products or to
<PAGE>
the business of the disclosing party, including, without limitation
information relating to customers and pricing. Confidential Information
shall not include information that a party can demonstrate by written
evidence:
(i) is in the public domain (provided that information in
the public domain has not and does not come into the public domain as
a result of the disclosure by the receiving party or any of its
Affiliates);
(ii) is known to the receiving party or any of its
Affiliates prior to the disclosure by the other party; or
(iii) becomes available to the party on a non-confidential
basis from a source other than an Affiliate of that party or the
disclosing party and PPI covenants and agrees to cause its Affiliates
to comply with the provisions of this Section 14.4.
ARTICLE XV
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
15.1 Force Majeure Clauses. Neither party shall be considered to be
---------------------
in default in respect of any obligation hereunder, other than the
obligation of a party to make payment of amounts due to the other party
under or pursuant to this Agreement, if failure of performance shall be due
to Force Majeure. If either party is affected by a Force Majeure event,
such party shall, within 20 days of its occurrence, give notice to the
other party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration and
any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of
performance shall be of no greater scope and not longer duration than is
required and the non-performing party shall use its reasonable best efforts
to remedy its inability to perform. The obligation to pay money in a
timely manner is absolute and shall not be subject to the Force Majeure
provisions, except to the extent prohibited by governmental rule or
regulations other than rules or regulations incident to bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings of a party. Force Majeure shall mean an
unforeseeable or unavoidable cause beyond the control and without the fault
or negligence of a party (and, where the party is PPI, beyond the control
and without the fault or negligence of any of its Affiliates) including,
but not limited to, explosion, flood, war (whether declared or otherwise),
accident, labor strike, or other labor disturbance, sabotage, acts of God,
newly enacted legislation, newly issued orders or decrees of any Court or
of any governmental agency. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to
the contrary, the party to whom performance is owed but to whom it is not
rendered because of any event of Force Majeure as contemplated in this
Section 15.1 shall, after the passage of one hundred and twenty days, have
the option to terminate this Agreement on
<PAGE>
thirty days prior written notice to the other party hereto. For greater
certainty, the inability or failure of PPI to cause any of its respective
Affiliates to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement expressed
to be applicable to its Affiliates or which require such party to cause
the Affiliate to do or not to do something shall not be considered Force
Majeure unless the Affiliate in question is unable to comply by reason of
unforeseeable or unavoidable causes beyond the control and without the
fault or negligence of such Affiliate.
15.2 Arbitration. All disputes arising out of, or in relation to,
-----------
this Agreement (other than disputes arising out of any claim by a third
party in an action commenced against a party), shall be referred for
decision forthwith to a senior executive of each party not involved in the
dispute. If no agreement can be reached through this process within thirty
days of request by one party to the other to nominate a senior executive
for dispute resolution, then either party hereto shall be entitled to refer
such dispute to a single arbitrator for arbitration under Florida law, such
arbitration to be held in Miami, Florida on an expedited basis in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration
Association. Any party demanding arbitration shall with service of its
demand for arbitration propose a neutral arbitrator selected by it. In the
event that the parties cannot agree upon a neutral arbitrator within thirty
(30) days after the demand for arbitration, an arbitrator shall be
appointed by the American Arbitration Association who shall be a partner in
a Miami, Florida law firm having at least ten (10) partners.
15.3 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned nor can the
----------
performance of any duties hereunder be delegated by PPI or by SANO without
the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided that any such assignment shall not relieve
the assignor from any of its obligations hereunder or under any other
document or agreement delivered by such party pursuant to, or delivered (or
acknowledged to have been delivered) contemporaneously with or in
connection with the execution of, this Agreement, which shall continue to
be binding upon such party notwithstanding such assignment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, PPI may delegate from time to time some of
its duties hereunder to any of its Affiliates provided that, prior to any
such delegation, it gives written notice thereof to SANO (indicating the
duties being so delegated and the duration of such delegation); provided
that no such delegation shall relieve PPI from any of its obligations
hereunder in respect of the duties being delegated or otherwise.

ARTICLE XVI
GUARANTEE OF PRI
16.1 Guarantee. PRI does hereby unconditionally guarantee to SANO the
---------
full and prompt payment and performance by PPI of all of the obligations of
every nature whatsoever to be performed by PPI under this Agreement (the
"Guaranteed Obligations") as and when required to be paid or performed
under this Agreement. The guarantee set forth in the preceding sentence
(this "Guarantee") is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guarantee
of the full and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that SANO
first attempt to enforce any of the Guaranteed Obligations against PPI, any
other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person or resort
to any other means of obtaining performance of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations. This Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect until
PPI shall have satisfactorily performed or fully discharged all of the
Guaranteed Obligations. No performance or payment made by PPI, PRI, any
other guarantor or any other Person, or received or collected by SANO from
PPI, PRI, any other guarantor or any other Person in performance of or in
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce
(except to the extent that any such performance or payment shall reduce the
Guaranteed Obligations), release or otherwise affect the liability of PRI
under this Guarantee which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or
performance other than those made by PRI in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations or those received or collected from PRI in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations, remain liable for the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and performed in
full.
16.2 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or performance by
--------------
PRI, PRI shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of
SANO or any other guarantor or any collateral security held by SANO
against PPI or any other guarantor or any collateral security for the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall PRI seek or be entitled to
seek any contribution or reimbursement from PPI or any other guarantor in
respect of payments made by PRI under this Guarantee. PRI HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVERS ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS WHICH
PRI MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER ACQUIRE TO BE SUBROGATED TO ANY SUCH RIGHTS
OF SANO AND TO SEEK
<PAGE>
OR BE ENTITLED TO SEEK ANY SUCH CONTRIBUTION OR REIMBURSEMENT FROM PPI OR
ANY OTHER GUARANTOR. THE OBLIGATIONS OF AND WAIVERS BY PRI SET FORTH IN
THIS SECTION 16.2 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTEE AND THE
PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION IN FULL OF ALL OF THE GUARANTEED
OBLIGATIONS.
16.3 Amendments, etc with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations; Waiver of
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rights. PRI shall remain obligated under this Guarantee notwithstanding
- - - - - - - ------
that, without any reservation of rights against PRI and without notice to
or further assent by PRI, any demand for payment or performance of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations made by SANO may be rescinded by SANO and any of
the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or
the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any
collateral security (or guarantee therefor may, from time to time, in whole
or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by SANO and this Agreement,
any collateral security document or other guarantee or document in
connection herewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated,
in whole or in part, as SANO may deem advisable from time to time, and any
collateral security or guarantee at any time held by SANO for the payment
or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged,
waived, surrendered or released. SANO shall not have any obligation to
protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as
security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for this Guarantee or any
property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against PRI,
SANO may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on PPI
or any other guarantor, and any failure by SANO to make any such demand or
to collect any payments from PPI or any such other guarantor or any release
of PPI or such other guarantor shall not relieve PRI of its obligations or
liabilities under this Guarantee, and shall not impair or affect the rights
and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of SANO against
PRI.
16.4 Extent of Liability and Waivers. PRI understands and agrees that
-------------------------------
the obligation of guarantee of PRI pursuant to Section 16.1 are intended to
render PRI liable hereunder in each instance where PPI would be liable
under this Agreement, and no more, and except that the obligations of PRI
hereunder shall not be discharged by any bankruptcy or similar proceeding
which may discharge PPI herefrom. Accordingly, PRI acknowledges that it
will not assert, and hereby waivers to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any rights to avoid performance hereunder available to it as guarantor
which are not also available to PPI. PRI waivers any and all notice of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by SANO upon this Guarantee
or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Guaranteed
<PAGE>
Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived,
in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between PPI or PRI, on
the one hand, and SANO on the other, pursuant to this Agreement shall
likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon this Guarantee. PRI waivers diligence, presentment, protest,
demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment or nonperformance to
or upon PPI or any other guarantors with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against PRI,
SANO may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and
remedies as it may have against PPI or any other Person or against any
collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations, and any
failure by PRI to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any
payments from PPI or any such other Person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guarantee, or any release of PPI or any such other
Person or any such collateral security or guarantee, shall not relieve PRI
of any liability hereunder and shall not impair or affect the rights and
remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of SANO
against PRI. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be
binding upon PRI and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the
benefit of SANO and its successors and assigns, until all the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been satisfied by payment and performance in full.
16.5 Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or
-------------
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or performance,
or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by SANO upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of PPI or PRI, or
upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, PPI or PRI, or any
substantial part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such
payments had not been made.
16.6 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. SANO shall not by any act
------------------------------
(except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15.7), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any breach of any of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of SANO, any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A
waiver by SANO of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the SANO would
otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are
not exclusive of any
<PAGE>
rights or remedies provided by law.
16.7 Affiliates. To the extent that PPI or PRI is obligated hereunder
----------
to cause its Affiliates to do or refrain from doing anything, PRI will do
all things that it may lawfully and reasonably do to cause such Affiliate
to comply.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as
of the Execution Date.

thereafter, PAR shall give to MOVA a written forecast of the quantities of
the Product, including quantities for each strength and unit size of the

giving written notice to MOVA specifying the manner in which all or part of
such shipment fails to meet the foregoing requirements. If PAR rejects a
shipment before the date on which payment therefor is due according to
Paragraph 2.6 hereof, it may withhold payment for that shipment or the
rejected portion thereof. All shipments or portions thereof not rejected
by PAR before such date shall be paid for in accordance with Paragraph 2.6
hereof. All shipments or portions thereof which PAR rejected but, as
determined pursuant to Paragraph 3.4 hereof, did not have the right to
reject, shall be paid within fifteen (15) days following the day on which
such determination was made, unless PAR had paid earlier. In the event PAR
rejects a shipment or portion thereof within such thirty (30) day period in
accordance with the terms hereof but after payment therefor had been made,
PAR shall be entitled to recoup the payment amount by, at PAR's election,
MOVA's issuing a prompt refund or by PAR's offsetting such amount against
the payment of future invoices or other payments that may become due
hereunder. The
<PAGE>
representations and warranties given by MOVA hereunder shall survive any
failure to reject by PAR under this Paragraph.
3.3 Recalls. If the Product is recalled pursuant to FDA regulation or

other applicable laws and returned as a result of any such recall and such
recall is due to MOVA's negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of

Product is recalled and such recall is due to PAR's negligence or willful
misconduct or a breach of any representation or warranty of PAR hereunder,
then PAR shall bear all incremental out-of-pocket direct costs in
connection with the recall, including, but not limited to, all notification
letters and all shipping expenses. In no event shall PAR be responsible
for any indirect expenses incurred by MOVA.
3.4 Disputes. If MOVA disputes PAR's right to reject all or part of any

shipment of the Product as set forth in Paragraph 3.2 or 3.3 hereof, such
dispute shall be resolved by an independent approved FDA testing
organization or consultant of recognized repute within the U.S.
pharmaceutical industry mutually agreed upon by the parties, the
appointment of which shall not be unreasonable withheld or delayed by
either party. The determination of such entity with respect to all or part
of any shipment of the Product shall be final and binding upon the parties,
but only as to the reasons given by PAR in rejecting the shipment or

entity did not render a determination. The fees and expenses of the third
party making the determination shall be paid by the party against which the
determination is made.

purchasing the Competitive Product from the Merger Party. At the time of
such notice, the restrictions contained in Paragraph 2.7 hereof, with
respect to sales by MOVA to certain parties, shall no longer be applicable.

(30) days prior to the date which MOVA notifies PAR should be the
Availability Date) and thirty (30) days prior to every calendar quarter
thereafter, PAR shall give to MOVA a written forecast of the quantities of
the Product, including quantities for each strength and unit size of the

forecast. Such forecast shall not create a binding obligation on the part
of either MOVA or PAR, except as provided in Paragraph 2.3 hereof.
However, PAR shall use all reasonable efforts to make each forecast as
accurate as possible. PAR shall promptly advise MOVA of any significant
changes in its estimated forecast of Product.

each forecast according to Paragraph 2.2 hereof, MOVA shall advise PAR in
writing if it is unable to supply the entire quantity forecasted. PAR

another location, MOVA shall do so and PAR shall reimburse for any
incremental costs involved.
2.6 Purchase Price and Payment. MOVA shall invoice PAR the Base Price for
---------------------------
all shelf keeping units in each shipment of Product delivered to PAR. Such
amount shall be payable sixty (60) days from receipt of the invoice
therefor. At the end of each calendar quarter, PAR shall determine and
advise MOVA of the Actual Net Profits obtained from the sale of the Product
by PAR during such calendar quarter. Within twenty (20) days after the end
of each such quarter, PAR shall pay to MOVA, the difference between the

aforementioned sixty (60) day period.
2.8 Conflicting Terms. In ordering and delivering the Product, PAR and

conflict herewith, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
ARTICLE 3 - QUALITY
-------------------
3.1 Quality Control. Prior to each shipment of the Product, MOVA shall

representations and warranties given by MOVA in Article 4 hereof. Each
shipment of the Product shall be accompanied by a quality assurance
analytical data sheet (the "Q.A. Certificate of Analysis").
3.2 Rejection. PAR shall have thirty (30) days following the day on which
---------
it receives a shipment to reject same because all or part of the shipment
fails to conform to the applicable specifications or otherwise fails to
conform to the representations and warranties given by MOVA herein, by
giving written notice to MOVA specifying the manner in which all or part of
such shipment fails to meet the foregoing requirements. If PAR rejects a
shipment before the date on which payment therefor is due according to
Paragraph 2.6 hereof, it may withhold payment for that shipment or the
rejected portion thereof. All shipments or portions thereof not rejected
by PAR before such date shall be paid for in accordance with Paragraph 2.6
hereof. All shipments or portions thereof which PAR rejected but, as
determined pursuant to Paragraph 3.4 hereof, did not have the right to
reject, shall be paid within fifteen (15) days following the day on which
such determination was made, unless PAR had paid earlier. In the event PAR
rejects a shipment or portion thereof within such thirty (30) day period in
accordance with the terms hereof but after payment therefor had been made,
PAR shall be entitled to recoup the payment amount by, at PAR's election,
MOVA's issuing a prompt refund or by PAR's offsetting such amount against
the payment of future invoices or other payments that may become due
hereunder. The representations and warranties given by MOVA hereunder
shall survive any failure to reject by PAR under this
<PAGE>
Paragraph.
3.3 Recalls. If the Product is recalled pursuant to FDA regulation or
-------
other applicable laws and returned as a result of any such recall and such
recall is due to MOVA's negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of
any representation or warranty of MOVA hereunder, then MOVA shall bear all
incremental out-of-pocket direct costs in connection with the recall,
including, but not limited to, all notification letters and all shipping
expenses. In no event shall MOVA be responsible for any indirect expenses
incurred by PAR. If the recalled Product is to be destroyed, MOVA, at
PAR's request, shall replace free of charge said Product or issue a credit
to PAR's account or refund payment to PAR. If the recalled Product is to
be reworked, MOVA shall bear all costs of reworking said product. If the
Product is recalled and such recall is due to PAR's negligence or willful
misconduct or a breach of any representation or warranty of PAR hereunder,
then PAR shall bear all incremental out-of-pocket direct costs in
connection with the recall, including, but not limited to, all notification
letters and all shipping expenses. In no event shall PAR be responsible
for any indirect expenses incurred by MOVA.
3.4 Disputes. If MOVA disputes PAR's right to reject all or part of any
--------
shipment of the Product as set forth in Paragraph 3.2 or 3.3 hereof, such
dispute shall be resolved by an independent approved FDA testing
organization or consultant of recognized repute within the U.S.
pharmaceutical industry mutually agreed upon by the parties, the
appointment of which shall not be unreasonable withheld or delayed by
either party. The determination of such entity with respect to all or part
of any shipment of the Product shall be final and binding upon the parties,
but only as to the reasons given by PAR in rejecting the shipment or
portion thereof and shall have no effect on any matter for which said
entity did not render a determination. The fees and expenses of the third
party making the determination shall be paid by the party against which the
determination is made.

------------------------------
regularly and fully informed of any notification or other information,
whether received directly or indirectly, which might in any way affect the
marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Product, or which might
result in potential liability for either party, or which might necessitate
action on the part of either party, or which might result in recall of the
Product, or which might otherwise in any way affect either of the parties'
interest with respect to the distribution or use of the Product. Nothing
contained in this Paragraph shall obligate either party to provide the
other with any information other than information regarding the quality of
the Product.

Automobile: Par will provide you with the use of an automobile, including
reimbursement of all related maintenance, fuel, repairs, insurance and
other costs.
Other: You will be eligible to participate in the Company's 401(K) Plan,
company sponsored retirement plan, and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan
upon meeting the Company's specified eligibility requirements for each
plan.
Stock: In addition to the 40,000 stock options you were granted on May 19,
1993, I will recommend to the Board of Directors that you be granted
options to purchase 40,000 additional shares of PRI common stock at an
exercise price per share equal to the closing price of PRI common stock on
the date of the grant by the Compensation Committee based on standard terms
and conditions of the Board of Directors.
Termination: Your employment by the Company is subject to the following
provisions:
If you terminate your employment for "good reason" or are voluntarily
terminated by the Company, except for cause, the Company or as the case may
be, will provide the other party with 90 days notification prior to
termination and the Company will provide you with severance compensation
amounting to twelve (12) months continuation of your prevailing base
salary, payable in 12 equal monthly installments, from the date of your
termination.
Except for "good reason" as defined in this paragraph, severance
compensation shall not be payable to you if your employment is terminated
by the Company for cause, or voluntarily by you, or if you accept
employment elsewhere. "Good reason" shall mean a termination by you of your
employment (a) based on the assignment to you of any duties materially
inconsistent with your position, duties, responsibilities and status with
the Company or based on a change in your reporting responsibilities, title
or offices as in effect or any removal (other than for cause) of you from
or any failure to re-elect you to any of such positions or a reduction in
your annual base compensation, except in connection with the termination of
your employment for cause, and (b) the failure of the Company to cure the
reasons, if curable, causing the termination within twenty (20) days of
receiving a written notice from you specifying such reasons.

In the event of your death or disability, you are entitled only to those
benefits described under "Benefits".
If you are eligible for severance compensation, as of your termination
date, you will be entitled to continue to participate, to the extent
permissible, in the Company's 401K Plan, the Company sponsored retirement
plan, and Employee Stock Purchase Plan until the expiration of your
severance compensation or until you commence employment elsewhere,
whichever comes first.
Also, as of your termination date, you will be entitled to the extent
permissible to continue to participate in the Company's health, dental,
life, and disability plans until the expiration of your severance
compensation or until covered by a reasonably comparable program, whichever
comes first.
If you are eligible for severance compensation as defined above, all your
unvested stock options, which have been awarded to you, shall become
immediately vested on the Termination Date and the date by which all such
options must be exercised shall be two years from the Termination Date.
If during the first twelve months of the Employment Term you are terminated
voluntarily by Par without cause or because of a change of control, you
will be eligible for a pro rata share of an annual bonus, if any, at the
discretion of your supervisor and dependent upon your performance and the
performance of the Company.
These terms represent the entirety of any severance, employment or any
other agreement between you and "the Company".
As a condition of your employment with the Company, you will be required to
execute the Company's standard Trade Secret, Non-Disclosure and Restrictive
Covenant Agreement attached.
If you accept this offer of employment, please sign below and return the
signed copy to me as soon as convenient. Once signed by you, this letter
will constitute the complete agreement between you and the Company
regarding employment matters or oral agreements or understandings on these
matters.
