[**] dose of drug is [**] the retail price to patient and government reimbursement. 2. Hospital or Pharmacy Purchase Price usually is about [**] respectively, [**]. The hospital or pharmacy will typically purchase a drug from a wholesaler or distributor, not directly from a manufacturer or pharmaceutical company. 3. Distributor or Wholesaler Price usually is about [**] of [**] - if the Venture or a third party owned by or affiliated with the Venture directly distributes and sells the drug, then the profit margin (above the Manufacturing Price and royalty) will be [**] between BioNumerik and GRELAN. The same would apply in the event that the Venture or a third party owned by or affiliated with the Venture directly distributes and sells the drug to a Hospital or Pharmacy. 4. Royalty is usually about [**] - this is [**] between BioNumerik and Grelan (e.g.: [**] paid to BioNumerik and [**] paid to Grelan). 5. Manufacturing Price for a contract manufacturer is estimated at about [**] - this is paid to the party that has manufacturing rights to the product and represents the price to manufacture the bulk drug [**] including fill and finish, label, store, record (adds another [**] and the margin of expected Manufacturer's profit (approximately [**] to the manufacturer. Some scenarios for illustration of the foregoing: a. The Venture drug sold is by third party distributor that has licensed the right to distribute, market and sell the drug in Japan. The [**] for the approved drug is [**] per unit. Grelan and BioNumerik would each receive [**] royalty payment [**] per unit) by the Japanese distributor. The total royalty that BioNumerik would receive from this would be [**] per unit. b.

In this scenario, BioNumerik would also receive a manufacturing margin payment from the distributor of approximately [**]. In this scenario this would amount to approximately an additional [**] per unit. BioNumerik could also optionally sell the product directly to the Venture; in this scenario the manufacturer's profit margin would still be [**] and paid by the Venture to BioNumerik. c. The Venture drug sold by Venture or a Venture-owned third party to distributor, wholesaler or hospital/pharmacy. The [**] for the approved drug is [**] per unit. The Manufacturing Price is [**] (based on [**]) and the price range that the drug is sold to distributor, wholesaler or hospital/pharmacy ranges from [**] The specific points of sale of drug units will be accounted for and payments will be made accordingly, with adjustment and reimbursement for any over- payment or under-payment to Grelan or BioNumerik for any units actually sold. Any profit margin resulting from the direct distribution or sale of the Venture product by the Venture or its affiliates would be paid to the Venture taking into account the Manufacturing Price (which is estimated to range from [**] this profit margin (meaning above that of any royalty and/or Manufacturing Price) would be [**] and paid to BioNumerik and Grelan from the Venture. BioNumerik shall also be paid a manufacturer's profit margin of approximately [**] for each unit. If there is any royalty payment, then this will be [**] between BioNumerik and Grelan as well. In this example, BioNumerik would sell the product to the Venture for [**] (Manufacturing Price of [**] plus Manufacturing Profit Margin of [**] plus [**] (the Wholesale/Distribution and Hospital or Pharmacy Price) per unit for a total of [**] per unit. The Venture would sell the unit to the distributor, wholesaler or hospital or pharmacy for [**] per unit and Grelan and BioNumerik would each be paid from the Venture a total amount of [**] per unit. If there is a royalty payment, then it shall be [**] between Grelan and BioNumerik and shall be part of the BioNumerik sales price of the product to the Venture. [**] CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS. [**] BioNumerik and Grelan will have certain rights to determine and establish prices for the Venture Products. The Manufacturing price for Venture Products BN will be established by BioNumerik and will include the costs for all raw materials and manufacturing along with the margin of profit for the manufacturer - this will be negotiated at the time of any third party license or will be established by mutual agreement in the event the Venture or an affiliate distributes and sells the products directly. The product royalty percentage will be established by BioNumerik and Grelan based on the license agreement with the third party distributor (e.g., a large pharmaceutical company) royalty obligations to the Venture. In the event the Venture or an affiliate decides to directly distribute or sell Venture products to a Japanese wholesaler/distributor, hospital or pharmacy the corresponding sales prices for each endpoint of sale will be jointly agreed upon by BioNumerik and Grelan for all Venture products in the territory of Japan. BioNumerik will have the sole right and authority to establish prices in all territories excluding Japan for all Venture Products BN, the rights to which are licensed to the Venture.
