Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On February 7, 2013, Impax Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Amended and Restated License and Distribution Agreement (the “Amended and Restated License Agreement”) with Shire LLC (“Shire”), which amended and restated that certain License and Distribution Agreement by and between the Company and Shire, dated as of January 19, 2006, as amended on March 1, 2010 (the “Prior Agreement”).  The Amended and Restated License Agreement was entered into by the parties in connection with the settlement of all pending litigation between Shire and the Company relating to Shire’s supply of its authorized generic Adderall XR® products (the “AG Product”) to the Company under the Prior Agreement.
 
Among other items, the Amended and Restated License Agreement provides for Shire to supply the AG Product to the Company subject to the terms and conditions thereof until the earlier of (i) the first commercial sale by the Company of its generic equivalent product to Adderall XR® (the “Impax Product”) and (ii) September 30, 2014 (the “Supply Term”), subject to certain continuing obligations of the parties upon expiration or early termination of the Supply Term, including Shire’s obligation to deliver AG Products still owed to Impax as of the end of the Supply Term.  The Company will be permitted to sell any AG Products in its inventory or owed to it by Shire under the Amended and Restated License Agreement until all such products are sold and the Company will continue to pay a profit share to Shire on such sales.  The Amended and Restated License Agreement also provides for (A) a process for allocation of quota of the amount of the mixed amphetamine salts authorized by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration to the AG Product for the Company and (B) under certain specified circumstances, dispute resolution procedures and payments to be paid by Shire in the event of AG Product non-delivery or delays not otherwise excused under the terms thereof.  Impax will continue to pursue approval of its pending Abbreviated New Drug Application for the Impax Product which was filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September 2003 (which may include, if necessary, amending the original application) and has the right to conduct further development and manufacture of the Impax Product, in each case without impacting Shire’s supply of the AG Product to the Company.  In the event the Company launches Impax Products, it will pay a profit share to Shire based on sales of such products.
 
The foregoing is a summary description of the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated License Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Amended and Restated License Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
