1.2       Section 1.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

1.3       Section 1.7 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

3.2         Neither DOSE nor its sublicensees shall seek or obtain a label indication in any country for the treatment of any disorder or disease affecting the anterior segment of the eye for any product whose manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation in or to such country would (absent the license granted under Section 3.1 above) infringe a Valid Claim of a Glaukos Group 1 Licensed Patent.
