upon the expiration of this Agreement.

V.T.C.A., Tax Code, § 11.43, to file an annual exemption application form with the WCAD. The
Chief Appraiser of the WCAD shall annually determine and record both the abated taxable value
and the full taxable value of the Eligible Property in the appraisal records. The full taxable value
figure listed in the appraisal record shall be used to compute the amount of abated taxes that are
required to be recaptured and paid in the event this Agreement is terminated in a manner that
results in recapture pursuant to Section 9. Each year Insys shall furnish the Chief Appraiser with
such information outlined in V.T.C.A., Tax Code, Chapter 22, as may be necessary for the
administration of the abatement specified herein. Insys shall be entitled to appeal any
determination of the Chief Appraiser in accordance with the provisions of the Texas Tax Code.

Austin Pharma was purchased by Insys Therapeutics in 2009. Austin Pharma was
designed to manufacture the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, Dronabinol, USP for Insys
Therapeutics' finished drug product. The Austin Pharma facility and process is an FDA and
DEA licensed facility which is routinely audited by both federal entities. Austin
Pharma/Insys received FDA approval for the drug product in August 2011. Commercial
manufacturing has continued throughout 2012 and 2013. Based on current market share of
the existing drug and new formulations currently being reviewed by FDA, manufacturing will
need to increase and expand into a new facility. There is no room for expansion in Austin
Pharma's current location. In the new facility the current manufacturing process will be
expanded. Additionally new processes are being scheduled for the expansion which will
include finished drug product manufacturing.

The foregoing full-time jobs will have an average annual salary of at least $50,000, plus
industry standard benefits. On or before February 1 of each calendar year during the Abatement
Period, Insys agrees to provide to the City an affidavit certifying its compliance with the
foregoing job requirements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Upon request by the City,
Insys agrees to provide the City with any and all necessary documentation to verify its
compliance with the job retention and creation obligations.
8. Default. In the event that Insys (a) allows its ad valorem taxes to the City to
become delinquent and fails to timely and properly follow the legal procedures for their protest
and/or contest; (b) fails to comply with its job retention and creation obligations; or (c) violates
any of the material terms and conditions of this Agreement, Insys shall be considered in default.
In the event that Insys defaults under this Agreement, the City shall give Insys written notice
specifying such default. If Insys has not cured the default within thirty (30) days after its receipt
of such written notice, the City may pursue any of its remedies for the collection of delinquent
property taxes as provided generally in the Tax Code.
9. Abatement Recapture. In the event the City terminates this Agreement as a
result of Insys's default, the City may recapture and collect from Insys the Recapture Liability.
Insys shall pay to the City the Recapture Liability within thirty (30) days after the date of
termination, subject to any and all lawful offsets, settlements, deduction, or credits to which
Insys may be entitled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Recapture Liability
shall not exceed an amount equal to all taxes which were abated pursuant to this Agreement from
the Effective Date of Abatement to the date of termination (together with interest thereon to be
charged at the statutory rate for delinquent taxes as determined by Section 33.01 of the Property
Tax Code of the State of Texas, but without the addition of a penalty). The City shall have all

remedies for the collection of the Recapture Liability as provided generally in the Tax Code for
the collection of delinquent property taxes.
10. Certification and Inspections. No later than April 15 of each year of the
Abatement Period, Insys must certify in writing to the City that Insys is in compliance with each
applicable term of this Agreement and the City Guidelines and, if not in compliance, the steps
Insys intends to take to be in compliance or a statement from Insys explaining in reasonable
detail why compliance cannot be achieved. Insys agrees that the WCAD and the City, their
agents and employees, shall, upon reasonable notice, have reasonable right of access to the
Facility in order to ensure that the installation of the Equipment in the Facility is in accordance
with this Agreement and all applicable state and local laws and regulations or valid waiver
thereof. All inspections will be made with one or more representatives of Insys and in
accordance with Insys's security and safety requirements. At the time of annual certification,
upon the City's written request, Insys shall also provide a calculation of the aggregate amount of
economic benefit Insys has previously received pursuant to this Agreement and the Development
Agreement. In order to efficiently administer the Abatement, Insys agrees also to provide
annually, no later than April 15, a full asset listing of personal property located on the Property
and in the Facility to the WCAD and such other information as may be reasonably necessary for
the Abatement and assessment of the assets for tax purposes, including any information required
by the City Guidelines.
Each year the City will endeavor to send Insys a reminder of its obligation under this Section 10.
However, the failure of the City to do shall not relieve Insys of its obligations hereunder.
11. Rendition of the Equipment. During the Abatement Period, Insys shall, in
accordance with the deadlines set forth by law, timely submit to the WCAD, a personal property
rendition. The personal property rendition shall include the year of acquisition, cost and
description of the Equipment, as described in Exhibit B.
Insys shall submit the foregoing personal property rendition forms to the WCAD, in the
minimum amount necessary so that the taxable value of the Equipment prior to applying the
abatement provided for herein, shall be no less than $7,300,000; provided however, that such
minimum amount shall not be construed as determining the fair market value of the Equipment
upon the expiration of this Agreement.
12. Annual Tax Application. It shall be the responsibility of Insys, pursuant to
V.T.C.A., Tax Code, § 11.43, to file an annual exemption application form with the WCAD. The
Chief Appraiser of the WCAD shall annually determine and record both the abated taxable value
and the full taxable value of the Eligible Property in the appraisal records. The full taxable value
figure listed in the appraisal record shall be used to compute the amount of abated taxes that are
required to be recaptured and paid in the event this Agreement is terminated in a manner that
results in recapture pursuant to Section 9. Each year Insys shall furnish the Chief Appraiser with
such information outlined in V.T.C.A., Tax Code, Chapter 22, as may be necessary for the
administration of the abatement specified herein. Insys shall be entitled to appeal any
determination of the Chief Appraiser in accordance with the provisions of the Texas Tax Code.

with the written consent of the City Council of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. An assignment to an Affiliate of Insys shall not require such
written consent. Any assignment shall be in writing, and shall provide that the assignee shall
