WHEREAS, the Parties entered into that certain API Supply Agreement as of May 25, 2011 (the “Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to amend the Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

2. Section 4.1(a) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a) Amarin shall make a one time payment to Equateq of one million dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Upfront Commitment Payment”) within five (5) Days of the Effective Date. Equateq shall notify Amarin when the financing to perform its obligations under this Agreement is in place, which notification shall describe the financing terms with a reasonable level of detail and in the absence of notice of objection from Amarin within [***] of Equateq’s notification it shall be deemed accepted by Amarin. In the event Equateq has not, in Amarin’s reasonable determination after good faith consultation with Equateq, raised sufficient capital to perform its obligations under this Agreement within [***] after the Effective Date, Amarin may give notice of that determination to Equateq at any time prior to Equateq raising such sufficient capital, and Equateq shall refund the Upfront Commitment Payment to Amarin and whereupon this Agreement shall terminate automatically.

3. The Parties acknowledge that Amarin has paid the Upfront Commmittment Payment to Equateq.

4. The following is hereby added to the end of Section 4.1(b):

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, until Equateq has, in Amarin’s reasonable determination after good faith consultation with Equateq, raised sufficient capital to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Amarin shall not be required to pay any Development Fees (the “Deferred Development Fees”); provided, however, that Amarin’s right to withhold payment of Deferred Development Fees shall not relieve Equateq of its obligation to timely perform the Development Plan. Amarin shall have no obligation to pay the Deferred Development Fees at all if the Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 4.1(a). Amarin shall pay the Deferred Development Fees incurred in accordance with this Section 4.1(b) within [***] after Equateq has, in Amarin’s reasonable determination after good faith consultation with Equateq, raised sufficient capital to perform its obligations under this Agreement prior to termination.”

5. The following is hereby added to the end of Section 4.1(c) of the Agreement:

Nothwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Amarin be required to pay any portion of the Third Party Materials Payment unless and until Equateq has in Amarin’s reasonable determination after good faith consultation with Equateq and in writing, raised sufficient capital to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

6. This Amendment and any other future amendment of the Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. To evidence the fact that it has executed this Amendment and any other future amendment of the Agreement, a Party may send a copy of its executed counterpart to the other Parties by facsimile transmission or by email transmission in portable document format, or similar format. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile or by email transmission in portable document format, or similar format, shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

7. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all other provisions of the Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
