Exhibit L


Payment schedule for Amended Stability Protocol

Purpose:
Emergent has requested a greater amount of stability testing than is stated in the original contract. The original contract required 15 test points to be done on three product lots. The price was $[**] dollars to perform the 45-test point study. The stability protocol now requested requires 24 test points to be done on 3 AIG product lots. This increases the total number of test points to 72 test points which is an increase of 27 test points. The approved protocol is follows.
