(e)if, at any time, the complainant is willing to accept an offer of settlement and one of the parties to this Agreement is willing to make or accept such offer and the other is not, then the unwilling party shall conduct all further proceedings at its own expense, and shall be responsible for the full amount of any damages, costs, accounting of profits and settlement costs in excess of those provided in such offer, but shall be entitled to retain 100% of the benefit of any litigated or settled result entailing a lower payment of costs, damages, accounting of profits and settlement costs than that provided in such offer; and

 

(f)any royalties or other amounts due and payable pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Memogain Asset Purchase Agreement shall be paid by the Licensee to Neurodyn’s lawyer, to be held in that lawyer’s trust account (the ‘Trust Funds’) from the date the complaint is made until such time as a resolution of the complaint has been finalized, subject to trust conditions as follows: If the complainant prevails in the complaint, then the Trust Funds shall be returned to the Licensee, provided that the amount returned to the Licensee hereunder shall not exceed the amount paid by the Licensee to the complainant in the settlement or other disposition of the complaint, and the balance paid to Neurodyn and/or Galantos, whichever is applicable.

The final set of folders (51-58) contains miscellaneous documents, correspondence and internal statements related ·to the content of the preclinical package. In addition, several laboratory notebooks are stored on this shelf.

 

In addition to the folders and cardboard boxes listed here, the Memogain assets also include 5 copies each of the Investigators’ Brochure (IB) and the Investigational Medical Product Dossier (IMPD). Electronic copies of these are additionally stored in the server section dedicated to Neurodyn.

 

Many of these materials also exist as PDF copies in dedicated segments of the company server. Much of this material has already been accessible to Neurodyn in the course of the due diligence process. Other documents and correspondence related to the Memogain preclinical package are stored in separate sections of the company server and will be made available to Neurodyn upon specific requests.

 

It is intended that representatives of Neurodyn Inc will inspect the above listed documents within a limited time period and will then attest its satisfaction with the stored materials by a statement signed by Ken Cawkell, CEO. Inspection and Attest of Satisfaction must occur within 3 months following the Effective Day of this agreement.

 

Nieder-Olm, August 30, 2013  
   
Alfred Maelicke, CEO  

 

The above listed documents have been inspected, and they are accepted as completely describing the Memogain assets.

 

The documents will be stored until further notice at the present location in Nieder-Olm, with Neurodyn taking the responsibility for storage costs and any unintended damage or loss.

Schedule B

 

Memogain Assets

of the Memogain Asset Purchase Agreement of August 23, 2013

 

In addition to the items listed in Schedule A, the following Documents, Agreements, Background Information and Materials related directly and indirectly to the Memogain Technology, including all physical material ofMemogain and its Drug Product, will be assigned to Neurodyn or its Affiliate:

 

1.The original (hard copy) final reports of each and every preclinical study performed on Memogain.

 

2.The reports and additional documentation on the synthesis of Memogain and its salts, synthetic process optimization, analytics, analytical methods transfer, storage and stability tests of Memogain, as performed by Senn Chemicals and Carbogen/Amcis.

 

3.The reports on formulation and drug product development of Memogain, as performed internally, at the TU Vienna, and at the CROs ThioMatrix and Archimedes.

 

4.All final analytic records, SOPs, quotations and written communication with CROs involved in preclinical development of Memogain.

 

5.Recent clinical trial designs, quotes and protocols developed at CHDR.

 

6.Further miscellaneous documentation in the context ofMemogain development.

 

7.All Physical Materials produced in the context of the synthesis and Drug Product preparation ofMemogain and presently stored at Carbogen/Amcis and Archimedes.

 

(‘Collectively referred to as the Memogain Assets’)

 

The documents of Memogain Assets are located in a fire-proof filing cabinet located at the premises of Galantos Pharma in Nieder-Olm, Germany. The total number of file folders and ring binders is 31, plus 11 file folders covering all patent applications, patents, trademarks, and related correspondence. No. 30 is a paper box containing information on Galantamine and the synthesis and chemical analysis of Memogain salts. Additional documentation, e.g. Laboratory Logbooks and Regulatory Guidelines, is stored in several cardboard boxes and in the Galantos Consulting office.

 

After the Closing Date, Neurodyn and Galantos Pharma will have joint responsibility for these stored items (according to the regulations covering these materials), with the two companies jointly covering any storage and maintenance costs.

 

In addition, Neurodyn shall have access to electronic copies of most of these files for one year after the Closing Date by way of a VPN access point to a dedicated section of the Galantos server. Neurodyn will take responsibility for all PDF copies of paper files listed above, and any copies on hard drives of these. Neurodyn will also take responsibility for all reports and materials kept at the CROs that were involved in preclinical testing ofMemogain.

 

The Parties acknowledge and agree that there may be further and other documents, information, and data which may later be identified and added to this Schedule.

The final set of folders (51-58) contains miscellaneous documents, correspondence and internal statements related ·to the content of the preclinical package. In addition, several laboratory notebooks are stored on this shelf.

 

In addition to the folders and cardboard boxes listed here, the Memogain assets also include 5 copies each of the Investigators’ Brochure (IB) and the Investigational Medical Product Dossier (IMPD). Electronic copies of these are additionally stored in the server section dedicated to Neurodyn.

 

Many of these materials also exist as PDF copies in dedicated segments of the company server. Much of this material has already been accessible to Neurodyn in the course of the due diligence process. Other documents and correspondence related to the Memogain preclinical package are stored in separate sections of the company server and will be made available to Neurodyn upon specific requests.

 

It is intended that representatives of Neurodyn Inc will inspect the above listed documents within a limited time period and will then attest its satisfaction with the stored materials by a statement signed by Ken Cawkell, CEO. Inspection and Attest of Satisfaction must occur within 3 months following the Effective Day of this agreement.

 

Nieder-Olm, August 30, 2013
