ARTICLE 4
CONVERSION FEES AND COMPONENT COSTS


4.1 Fees and Component Costs .

The fees for the Manufacturing Services (which fees include Component Costs) listed in Schedules A and B are intended by the parties to be fixed for the first year of this Agreement, subject to the amendments to such fees provided for in this Article 4.

4.2 Adjustments to Current Year's Pricing .

During any Year of this Agreement, the fees set out in Schedule A shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following: (a) Volume Reduction. If at any time and from time to time Patheon determines, acting reasonably and based on the forecasts and Firm Orders received from Cephalon, that the current yearly run-rate volumes (including, without limitation, any permanent reductions in volumes) relating to a specific Product will constitute no more than [**] of the minimum annual volume for that Product specified in Schedule A hereto or, if applicable, any revised minimum annual volume hereinafter agreed to by the parties, then Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of that Product to reflect the increased costs that Patheon will incur as a result of the reduced volumes;

** Portions of the Exhibit have been omitted and have been filed separately pursuant to an application for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

5 (b) Component Costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheon's cost of Components being greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of any affected Product to compensate it for such increased Component costs. For the purposes of this Section 4.2(b), changes greater than normal forecasted increases shall be considered to have occurred if (i) the cost of a Component is more than [**] greater than the cost for that Component upon which the fee quote was based or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product is more than [**]of the total Component costs for such Product upon which the fee quote was based. To the extent that Manufacturing Services fees have been previously adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Component (or Components) at the time the last of such adjustments were made;In connection with a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section 4.2, Patheon shall deliver to Cephalon a revised Schedule A and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation sufficient to demonstrate that a fee adjustment is justified. Upon delivery of such a request, each of Cephalon and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing Services in respect of each affected Product.

4.3 Adjustments to Subsequent Year's Pricing .

The fees for the Manufacturing Services provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during any period following the first anniversary of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the following: (a) Manufacturing Costs. On each yearly anniversary of this Agreement, Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fees for Component costs and Manufacturing Services fees in respect of the Products for increase in manufacturing costs based on the increases in the Industrial Product Price Index , Pharmaceuticals, No. V157093 and the Consumer Price Index, published by Statistics Canada in respect of the immediately prior Year;

(b) Annual Forecast. At least ninety days prior to the end of the each Year of this Agreement, Cephalon shall provide Patheon a yearly volume projection. To the extent that Patheon determines that the projections contained in that yearly volume forecast necessitate that an adjustment be made to the fee for Component costs and Manufacturing Services fees in respect of any Product for such Year, Patheon shall, within thirty days of receipt by Patheon of the yearly forecast, be entitled to request an appropriate price adjustment.

(c) Pricing Basis. Cephalon acknowledges that the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of a Product in any Year is quoted based upon the minimum run quantity and estimated annual volume per Product specified in Schedule A or thereafter specified in the forecast provided pursuant to Section 4.3(b) for the Year and is subject to change if the specified minimum run quantity and estimated annual volume is not met. For greater certainty, if Patheon and Cephalon agree that the minimum run quantity in respect of a Product shall be reduced whether as a result of a decrease in estimated annual volume or otherwise and, as a result of such reduction, Patheon's costs relating to such Product increase on a per unit basis, then Patheon shall be entitled to an increase in the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of such Product by an amount sufficient to absorb such increase.

In connection with a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section 4.3, Patheon shall deliver to Cephalon a revised Schedule A and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation sufficient to demonstrate that a fee adjustment is justified. Upon delivery of such a request, each of Cephalon and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing Services in respect of each affected Product. ** Portions of the Exhibit have been omitted and have been filed separately pursuant to an application for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

4.4 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes .

Amendments to Cephalon's Technical Information or the Technical Agreement requested by Cephalon will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to Cephalon and Patheon reaching agreement as to revisions, if any, to the fees specified in Schedules A or B necessitated by any such amendment. If Cephalon accepts a proposed fee change, the proposed change in Cephalon's Technical Information shall be implemented, and the fee change shall become effective only with respect to those orders of Products that are manufactured in accordance with the revised Cephalon's Technical Information. In addition, Cephalon agrees to purchase, at Patheon's cost, all Inventory utilized under the "old" Cephalon's Technical Information and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.3, to the extent that such Inventory can no longer be utilized under the revised Cephalon's Technical Information. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Client's Technical Information that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.3 shall be cancelled where possible, and where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, shall be assigned to and satisfied by Cephalon. 4.5 Multi-Country Pricing. The pricing set forth in Schedule A of this Agreement is for Product intended for sale and distribution in the United States of America. If Cephalon decides that it wishes to have Patheon manufacture the Product for countries in addition to the United States of America, the Cephalon shall inform Patheon of the packaging requirements needed for this new country market and Patheon shall prepare a quotation for consideration by Cephalon of the additional Component costs, if any, packaging fees and the change over fees for the Product destined for the new country market. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees shall be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement.


ARTICLE 5
ORDERS, DELIVERY, INVOICING, PAYMENT, PRODUCT DEFICIENCIES


5.1 Market Outlook .

Cephalon acknowledges that for optimal production planning, Patheon requires an understanding of Cephalon's strategic vision for the Products in the market and agrees, to the extent that such information (including, if any, Cephalon's five-year market outlook studies) exists, to share such information with Patheon, provided that such information may not be relied upon by Patheon for any purpose and further provided that any information so provided shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 10.

5.2 Orders and Forecasts .

Cephalon shall provide Patheon with the following: (a) concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, a written non-binding twelve (12) month forecast of the volume of each Product that Cephalon then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to Cephalon during that twelve (12) month period. Such forecast will be updated by Cephalon monthly on a rolling twelve (12) month basis and updated forthwith upon Cephalon determining that the volumes contemplated in the most recent of such forecasts has changed by more than twenty per cent; and

(b) on or before the 20th day of each month, firm written orders (" Firm Orders ") for the Products to be produced and delivered to Cephalon on a date not less than 12 weeks from the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Such Firm Orders submitted to Patheon shall specify Cephalon's purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule and

7

any other elements necessary to ensure the timely production and delivery of the Products. The quantities of Products ordered in such written orders shall be firm and binding on Cephalon and shall not be subject to reduction. (c) on or before September 30 in each Year, a written non-binding three-year forecast (broken down by quarters for the second and third years of the forecast) of the volume of each Product Cephalon then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to Cephalon during the three-year period.

5.3 Reliance by Patheon .

Cephalon understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders submitted pursuant to Section 5.2(b) in ordering the Components required to meet such Firm Orders. In addition, Cephalon understands that to ensure an orderly supply of such Components and to achieve economies of scale in the costs therefor, it may be desirable for Patheon to purchase such Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.2(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Cephalon. Accordingly, Cephalon authorizes Patheon to purchase Components in order to satisfy the production requirements for Products for the first six months contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by Cephalon pursuant to Section 5.2(a), and agrees that Patheon may make such other purchases of Components to meet production requirements during such longer periods as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by Cephalon at the request of Patheon. If Components ordered by Patheon pursuant to Firm Orders or this Section 5.3 are not included in finished Products purchased by Cephalon within six months after the forecasted month in respect of which such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the parties may agree), Cephalon shall pay to Patheon its costs thereof and, in the event such Components are incorporated into Products subsequently purchased by Cephalon, Cephalon will receive credit for any costs of such Components previously paid to Patheon by Cephalon.

5.4 Minimum Orders .

Cephalon may only order Products in multiples of the minimum run quantities set out in Schedule A.

5.5 Shipments .

Shipments of Products shall be made FCA Patheon's shipping point. Such title as Patheon has in Products and risk of loss or of damage to Products shall remain with Patheon until Products are delivered ...
