Exhibit 10.15

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED ROYALTY STREAM PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED ROYALTY STREAM PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into and effective as of the 11^th day of August, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Accentia”), and Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“PPD”).

WHEREAS, Accentia and Mayo Foundation For Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”), a Minnesota charitable corporation, have entered into that certain Mayo Foundation For Medical Education and Research License Agreement with an effective date of February 10, 2004 (the “Mayo License Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Accentia and BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI”), have entered into that certain License Agreement between BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. and Accentia, dated April 12, 2004 (the “BDSI License Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Accentia is currently sublicensing pharmacy(s) with regard to selling certain Products and intends to develop and sell certain FDA Products (each, as defined below) pursuant to rights obtained from the Mayo License Agreement and the BDSI License Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties entered into that certain Royalty Stream Purchase Agreement, dated September 7, 2004 (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which PPD purchased a stream of royalty payments based on sales of the Products; and

WHEREAS, Accentia now desires that PPD provide certain clinical trial services to Accentia in exchange for an increase in certain royalty payments due under the Original Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Section 9(k) of the Original Agreement provides that it may be amended by mutual written agreement of the parties; and

WHEREAS, the parties now desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement in order to (i) increase certain payments to PPD under the Original Agreement, and (ii) set forth certain terms and conditions pursuant to which PPD shall provide certain clinical trial services to Accentia;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows.

1. DEFINITIONS. In addition to capitalized terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(a) “Affiliate” means with respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such other Person. For purposes of this definition, a Person shall be deemed to control another entity if it owns or controls, directly or

indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of another entity (or other comparable ownership interest for an entity other than a corporation) or if it has management control of the other entity.

(b) “Compounded Product” shall mean a Product that contains or comprises an antifungal prepared by a pharmacy that provides prescription fulfillment by extemporaneous compound preparation.

(d) “FDA Product” means a Product that is approved by the FDA or any other Regulatory Authorities, including without limitation the SinuNase Formulation.

(e) “IND” means an Investigational New Drug Application filed with the FDA necessary to commence human clinical trials in conformance with applicable laws and regulations.

(f) “License Quarter” means each quarter that begins on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the Term; provided, however, that the first License Quarter will commence on the Effective Date and end on the day preceding the first day of the next License Quarter.

(g) “Lien” means, with respect to any agreement or other asset, any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind in respect of such asset.

(h) “Net Sales” means the amount invoiced by Accentia, or its Affiliates and sublicensees, or any of them, on all sales of Products, less: (i) sales, excise or use taxes shown on the face of the invoice; (ii) credits for defective or returned Products; (iii) regular trade and discount allowances and any amount actually excluded or disallowed by Medicare, Medicaid, third party payer or insurance company. Sales of Products by Accentia or an Affiliate or sublicensee of Accentia to any Affiliate or sublicensee that is a reseller thereof shall be excluded, and only the subsequent sale of such Products by Affiliates or sublicensees of Accentia to unrelated parties shall be deemed Net Sales hereunder. Net Sales shall also include all settlement amounts, payments and damages received by Accentia or its Affiliates and sublicensees, or any of them, which result from litigation or disputes related to or arising from the sale of the Products, including amounts received from enforcement of the Enabling Agreements as described in Paragraph 6(f).

(i) “Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, but not including a government or political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality of such government or political subdivision.

(j) “Product” means a therapeutic product that (i) is in suitable form for commercial sale and (ii) contains or comprises an antifungal, including but not limited to amphotericin-B, itraconazole or voriconanzole (“Antifungal”), together with any formulation ingredients,

regardless of the formulation or mode of administration of such Product, for use in the treatment of chronic sinusitis. For the sake of clarity, the term Product shall include an FDA Product.

(k) “Regulatory Authorities” means any governmental authority in any country responsible for regulatory approvals and post-marketing surveillance of any FDA Product. Regulatory approvals refer to any approvals required for clinical experimentation or commercialization of any FDA Product. Regulatory approvals shall also include receipt of a pricing or reimbursement approval.

(l) “Royalty Stream” means: (i) six percent (6%) of Net Sales for all Products that are not FDA Products; (ii) seven percent (7%) of Net Sales for all FDA Products, excluding the SinuNase Formulation; and (iii) fourteen percent (14%) of Net Sales for the SinuNase Formulation. Payments of the Royalty Stream shall be made on a quarterly basis in accordance with Section 6. By way of illustration and example, if an Accentia sublicensee invoices a customer $220 for the sale of a non-FDA Product (i.e., the sublicensee’s Net Sales is $220), then the Royalty Stream on the transaction, which is payable by Accentia to PPD, would be 6% of $220 or $13.20 regardless of any royalty due Accentia from the sublicensee.

(m) “SinuNase Formulation” means any aqueous suspension that includes amphotericin B and inactive excipients used to put the amphotericin B in suspension. For sake of clarity, a SinusNase Formulation includes the formulation set forth in the Investigator Brochure included in Section 5 of IND No. 69,611, as amended, and any successor formulation, but does not include a formulation that includes amphotericin B embedded in a cochleate delivery vehicle. For further clarity, a formulation that includes amphotericin B embedded in a cochleate delivery vehicle would be subject to a seven percent (7%) Royalty Stream pursuant to Section 1(l)(ii), but not a fourteen percent (14%) Royalty Stream pursuant to Section 1(l)(iii).

2.	PURCHASE AND SALE OF ROYALTY STREAM

(a) Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement: (a) PPD agrees to purchase from Accentia, and Accentia agrees to sell and pay to PPD, upon execution of this Agreement the Royalty Stream for a one-time payment of $2,500,000 in cash (the “Purchase Price”).

(b) Payment. The Purchase Price shall be due and payable not later than thirty (30) days following September 7, 2004. Accentia hereby acknowledges the timely receipt of the Purchase Price from PPD.

(c) No Assumed Obligations.

All such liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain obligations and liabilities of Accentia.

5.	COVENANTS

PPD and Accentia agree as follows.

(a) Maintenance of Enabling Agreements. Accentia shall exercise fully all of its rights, and comply fully with all of its obligations, under the Enabling Agreements and shall not, without PPD’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), permit any amendment or take any other action (or omit to take any action) with respect thereto, which could reasonably be expected to impair the Royalty Stream. For purposes of this Paragraph 5(a), it shall be reasonable for PPD to withhold its approval with respect to any amendment, action or omission if, in the reasonable opinion of PPD, such amendment, action or omission could, in the sole discretion of PPD, have the effect of reducing the Royalty Stream.

(b) No Transfers. Without PPD’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), Accentia shall not sell, transfer, assign, license, sublicense or otherwise dispose of, or grant any Lien on, all or any part of the Enabling Agreements, the rights provided thereunder or any receivable therefrom.

(c) Confidential Treatment. PPD and Accentia will hold, and will use reasonable commercial efforts to cause their officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or unless required by law or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange or trading system, all confidential documents and information concerning PPD, Accentia, this Agreement and the Royalty Stream.

(d) Public Announcement. Except as required by law or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange or trading system, the parties agree to consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public statement with respect to PPD’s acquisition of the Royalty Stream. Such press release or public statement shall, to the extent possible, be a joint release.

(e) FDA Product IND. Accentia filed an IND with the FDA for an FDA Product on or before the applicable deadline set forth in Exhibit A of the Mayo License Agreement.

(f) Encochleated FDA Product. Accentia will seek approval of the FDA and other Regulatory Authorities for an encochleated form of FDA Product using the cochleate technology licensed by Accentia under the BDSI License Agreement. Accentia shall follow the development timeline set forth in Exhibit A of the Mayo License Agreement (“Development Plan”) unless the timeline is shortened because it is determined by the FDA that a Phase I and/or Phase II study is not needed, in which case Accentia shall follow the revised, shortened timeline.

(g) Product Sales. Accentia will use its best efforts to maximize the sale of Products and FDA Products, if any, in each country in which Accentia has the right to sell any such Products or FDA Products, as the case may be.

(h) Marketing Effort. Accentia will provide the marketing services for the FDA Products as set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Marketing Services”). Any breach by Accentia of its obligations to provide the Marketing Services shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and cause for PPD to exercise the provisions of Paragraph 8(c). At PPD’s request, Accentia shall make available to PPD Accentia’s management personnel with direct responsibility for Product development, commercialization and marketing, for meetings and teleconferences. Such meetings and teleconferences will be during business hours and PPD shall provide reasonable advance notice of its request for such meetings and teleconferences. The sole purpose of the meetings and teleconferences will be to provide PPD with information relating to Accentia’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

6.	PAYMENT OF ROYALTY, REPORTS, AUDIT RIGHTS

(a) Royalty Stream Payment and Reports. During the term of this Agreement, Accentia will deliver to PPD on or before the following dates of each year: 1 February, 1 May, 1 August, and 1 November, a written report stating Net Sales of Products and FDA Products on which the Royalty Stream is based for the preceding License Quarter, and summarizing the status of the development of Products and FDA Products that are not then being sold (in sufficient detail as PPD may from time to time request) and of preparations to market Products

and FDA Products if marketing has not yet begun. Each such report will be accompanied by the Royalty Stream payment due for such License Quarter either by check or wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from PPD. Any Royalty Stream payment that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the interest rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month.

(b) Minimum Royalty Stream Payments. Accentia agrees to make minimum cumulative royalty stream payments to PPD under this Agreement in the amount of $2,500,000 prior to the end of calendar year 2009. Failure to make minimum payments of $2,500,000 will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and cause for PPD to exercise the termination provisions of Paragraph 8(c); provided, however, that if cumulative Royalty Stream payments are not $2,500,000, then Accentia may make up the shortfall in which case a material breach will not have occurred.

By way of illustration and example, if cumulative royalty payments made to PPD under Paragraph 6(a) are $2,000,000 by the end of calendar year 2009, Accentia may make an additional payment to PPD of $500,000. In the event such a payment is not made, PPD may exercise its rights to terminate this Agreement under Paragraph 8(c).

(c) Mayo Reports. Accentia shall provide to PPD all Reports (as defined in the Mayo License Agreement) that Accentia is required to provide to Mayo pursuant to the Mayo License Agreement. Such Reports shall be provided to PPD simultaneously with the provision of the Reports to Mayo.

(d) Notice of Certain Events. Accentia shall immediately report to PPD in writing the occurrence of any of the events that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of Accentia to terminate this Agreement under Section 8 hereof.

(e) Audit and Inspection Rights. Accentia shall maintain, during the term of this Agreement and for at least three (3) years thereafter, records sufficient to demonstrate Accentia’s compliance with its (i) Royalty Stream reporting and payment obligations and (ii) Product development, commercialization and marketing obligations under this Agreement. Accentia shall make such records available for inspection and copying by PPD or its representatives, during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice, for the purpose of confirming Accentia’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. PPD may at its election engage an independent public accounting firm to conduct an audit of amounts due PPD under this Agreement. If in the written opinion of such auditors there has been an under-reporting by Accentia of more than three percent (3%) of the total amounts due during any License Quarter, Accentia shall pay the costs of such audit in addition to all unpaid amounts then owing. In the event Accentia sublicenses all or any part of its rights under the Mayo License Agreement or the BDSI License Agreement, Accentia agrees that the applicable sublicense agreement shall contain audit rights substantially similar to those set forth herein in favor of PPD or its designee.

(f) Breach of Enabling Agreements. Upon any occurrence of a breach by Mayo or BDSI under the Mayo License Agreement or the BDSI License Agreement, respectively, which is not cured as provided in the applicable agreement and which affects the Royalty Stream, Accentia shall use its best efforts to enforce its rights under the applicable agreement, including

without limitation, initiating litigation with the breaching party. Accentia shall provide PPD written notice of any such breach not later than ten (10) days after Accentia becomes aware of such breach, and any settlement related to the breach is subject to the prior approval of PPD. Accentia shall keep PPD informed, on a current basis, with respect all actions it takes to enforce its rights under the Enabling Agreements, including providing PPD with copies of all material correspondence with the breaching party and/or its counsel and allowing PPD to participate, at its election, in all litigation strategy meetings. All recoveries and damages obtained by Accentia pursuant to its enforcement of its rights under the Enabling Agreements shall be deemed to be Net Sales as defined herein. Accentia’s failure to use its best efforts to enforce its rights under an Enabling Agreement shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

7.	INDEMNIFICATION

(a) Indemnification. Accentia hereby indemnifies PPD and its Affiliates against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all damage, loss, liability and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding) (collectively, “Loss”) incurred or suffered by PPD or any of its Affiliates arising out of: (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Accentia pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Accentia. PPD agrees to give prompt notice to Accentia of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section 7; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect PPD’s rights hereunder except to the extent Accentia is materially prejudiced by such failure. Accentia may, and at the request of PPD shall, participate in and control the defense of any such third party suit, action or proceeding at its own expense. Accentia shall not be liable under this Section 7 for any settlement effected without its prior consent of any claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. No investigation by PPD of the Enabling Agreements or otherwise shall limit PPD’s rights to indemnification hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any remedies available to PPD at law or in equity for any claims under this Agreement.

(b) Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, including without limitation the agreements set forth in (a) above, contained herein shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not excuse any party hereto from its liability in respect of any breach hereof prior to such expiration or termination.

TERM

(a) Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, until the parties mutually agree to terminate this Agreement.

(b) Termination of Enabling Agreements. If either of the Enabling Agreements is terminated, then PPD may terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending Accentia

written notice of termination. The notice of termination shall specify the effective date of the termination.

(c) Termination for breach. If Accentia commits a material breach of this Agreement, PPD may notify Accentia in writing of such breach and Accentia will have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure such breach to PPD’s satisfaction. If Accentia fails to cure such breach, PPD may, at its option, terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending Accentia written notice of termination. The notice of termination shall specify the effective date of the termination.

(d) Termination for failure to Maintain Market Exclusivity Rights. As an inducement for PPD to enter into this Agreement, Accentia agrees to use its best efforts to maintain exclusive license rights under the Mayo License Agreement and prosecute, perfect and maintain the Market Exclusivity Rights (as defined in the Mayo License Agreement) for a Product. In the event that Accentia fails to fulfill its obligations under Section 8.01 of the Mayo License Agreement, PPD may terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending Accentia written notice of termination. The notice of termination shall specify the effective date of the termination.

(e) Termination due to conversion to nonexclusivity. In the event that any of the rights granted to Accentia under Section 3.01(a), (b) or (c) of the Mayo License Agreement shall become nonexclusive for any reason, PPD may terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending Accentia written notice of termination. The notice of termination shall specify the effective date of the termination.

(f) Termination for failure to enforce Mayo Patent Rights. As an inducement for PPD to enter into this Agreement, Accentia agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that the Patent Rights (as defined in the Mayo License Agreement) are enforced against any known or suspected infringer of such rights. In the event that the Patent Rights are not enforced by Accentia or Mayo against any known or suspected infringer of such rights, PPD may terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending Accentia written notice of termination. The notice of termination shall specify the effective date of the termination.

(g) Termination for failure to amend Mayo License Agreement. In the event that Accentia fails to amend Section 4.03 of the Mayo License Agreement to remove the requirement of the diligence payment of $30 million to the satisfaction of PPD prior to December 31, 2004, PPD may terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending Accentia written notice of termination. The notice of termination shall specify the effective date of the termination.

(h) Effect of Termination by PPD. In the event that PPD has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any of Sections 8(b) through 8(g), PPD may, in its sole discretion, exercise such termination right at any time by providing written notice to Accentia. No delay by PPD in exercising such right shall cause PPD to lose such termination right by laches, estoppel or any other legal theory. In the event that PPD exercises its termination rights, Accentia shall: (i) refund the Purchase Price less the aggregate Royalty Stream amount paid to PPD hereunder prior to the date of termination; and (ii) pay to PPD the fully-burdened costs incurred by it, PPD

Development and their Affiliates in the performance of the Services (as defined in Section 1.1 of Schedule 2) prior to the date of termination. Such refund shall be paid to PPD not later than five (5) business days after the effective date of termination; provided that with respect to the fully-burdened costs related to the Services, such costs shall be reimbursed by Accentia within ten (10) days after an invoice therefore is provided to Accentia by PPD. In the event that the aggregate Royalty Stream payments to PPD hereunder exceed $2,500,000 as of the date of termination, then Accentia shall not have an obligation to refund any portion of the Purchase Price. In no event will PPD have an obligation to refund any Royalty Stream payments to Accentia or to pay any additional amounts to Accentia, which are in excess of the Purchase Price.

(i) Effect of Termination by Accentia. In the event that Accentia effectuates a termination of this Agreement, whether by equitable remedy ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise: (i) this Agreement shall be terminated; (ii) the Original Agreement shall be automatically reinstated and effective as if never terminated and superseded by this Agreement; and (iii) Accentia shall pay to PPD the fully-burdened costs incurred by it, PPD Development and their Affiliates in the performance of the Services (as defined in Section 1.1 of Schedule 2) prior to the date of termination. Accentia shall reimburse the fully-burdened costs to PPD related to the Services within ten (10) days after an invoice for such Services is provided to Accentia by PPD. In no event will PPD have an obligation to refund any Royalty Stream payments to Accentia or to pay any additional amounts to Accentia, which are in excess of the Purchase Price.

(j) Survival. In the event of termination by PPD and in addition to the rights otherwise set forth herein, all payment obligations accrued prior to the date of termination and Sections 1, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 10, and Paragraphs 2(c) and 6(c) shall survive such termination of this Agreement. In the event of termination by Accentia, this Agreement shall continue as set forth in Section 8(i) subject to the rights and remedies set forth Section 8(i).

9.	CLINICAL SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY PPD

(a) Services. PPD will cause PPD Development, LP (“PPD Development”) and other Affiliates to provide certain limited Services (as defined in Schedule 2 attached hereto and made a part hereof) to Accentia with respect to two Phase III clinical trials for the SinuNase Formulation for the treatment of chronic sinusitis. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the respective rights and obligations of each party with respect to the Services are as set forth in Schedule 2. With respect to the performance of the Services, in the event of any conflict between a term or condition set forth in Schedule 2 and a term or condition set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the term or condition in Schedule 2 shall control.

(b) Study Data. The parties agree that PPD Development shall own the Study Data (as defined in Section 4.2 of Schedule 2). PPD Development hereby grants to Accentia during the term of this Agreement an unrestricted worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Study Data for all commercial purposes. Such license shall extend for the term of this Agreement. Upon either: (i) termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason; or (ii) Accentia’s filing for relief under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq., such license shall terminate and Accentia shall promptly return all Study Data and copies thereof in its possession to PPD Development and immediately cease any further use of or reference to all or any part of the Study Data.

(c) Joint Development Committee. The parties shall form a Joint Development Committee (“JDC”) for the purposes of making all decisions related to the development and approval of Products and FDA Products, including without limitation: (i) preparation of proposed development plans and development budgets, and modifications thereto as needed; (ii) oversight of implementation of development plans and development budgets, (iii) oversight of outsourced work; (iv) management of the flow of information with respect to clinical trials; and (v) preparation of the applicable New Drug Application(s).

(i) Membership. The JDC shall be composed of six members, three members appointed by each of PPD and Accentia. Each party shall designate its initial JDC representatives within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Each party may replace its JDC representatives at any time upon written notice to the other party. PPD will designate one of its initial JDC representatives as the initial Chairperson of the JDC. The Chairperson shall alternate between the parties every twelve (12) months. The Chairperson shall be responsible for scheduling meetings, preparing and circulating an agenda in advance of each meeting, and preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting within 30 days thereafter.

(ii) Responsibilities and Decision Making. During the term of this Agreement, the JDC shall meet on a quarterly basis and at such other times as the parties shall mutually agree. Each party shall have the right to call a meeting of the JDC upon at least two business days’ notice. If the other party is unable to attend such meeting, the meeting shall be rescheduled to a date not to exceed five business days of the initial notice of the meeting. The JDC will make its decisions by majority vote, with each party’s representatives collectively having one vote. In the event that any vote is deadlocked, the respective CEO’s of each party will meet to resolve the issue. If the CEO’s are unable to resolve the issue, the issue will be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with Paragraph 9(c)(iii) below.

(iii) Arbitration. In the event that the CEOs of each party are unable to break any deadlocked vote of the JDC, the unresolved issue shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) rules. The arbitration will be conducted in a geographically neutral site within the United States that is mutually agreed by the parties or, in the absence of such agreement, chosen by the arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted under the rules then in effect for AAA, except as provided herein, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of the United States federal courts, for any cause arising out of or otherwise related to this arbitration, its conduct and its enforcement. The arbitrator shall be one (1) neutral, independent and impartial arbitrator selected from a pool of retired federal judges to be presented to the parties by AAA. Failing the agreement of the parties as to the selection of an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the failure of the CEOs to resolve the dispute, there shall be three (3) arbitrators rather than one (1).
