4

2.2                               Manufacture of the Product for Commercial Sales.

2.2.1                     Notwithstanding the limitations contained in Section 5.3, Zavante agrees that ERN may contract with Zavante’s Third Party manufacturer of the Product for the manufacture and supply of the Product for distribution, sale or other use by ERN or its Affiliates outside the Territory and outside the Adjacent Territory; provided that any such agreement between ERN and Zavante’s Third Party manufacturer contains provisions granting Zavante priority of supply of the Product in the event of any capacity shortfall.

2.2.2                     If ERN wishes to serve as a contract manufacturer of the Product for Zavante’s commercial sale in the Territory on terms and conditions to be negotiated between the Parties, ERN must obtain prior written approval from Zavante, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such agreement between ERN and Zavante must take into consideration any then-existing quantity commitments made by Zavante to other contract manufacturers.

2.2.3                     Zavante will be responsible for ensuring that it amends the NDA for the Product in a timely manner in the event that it changes the designated contract manufacturer of the Product for commercial sale in the Territory, provided that such new contract manufacturer has obtained FDA approval of its facilities and quality systems.

2.3                               Development Responsibilities.

2.3.1                     Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete certain development activities required for NDA submission and/or in connection with the commercialization of the Product within the Territory, as set forth in ANNEX 3 to this Agreement (the “Development Responsibilities”).  The Parties will mutually agree upon the protocols for the Development Responsibilities; however, in the event the Parties are unable to reach agreement, Zavante shall have final decision-making authority with respect to protocols for the Development Responsibilities.  Each Party will be responsible for completing its designated Development Responsibilities within the timeframes set forth in ANNEX 3, and shall bear all costs associated therewith, provided, however, that the Parties shall jointly complete and each Party shall bear half of the total costs associated with Development Responsibilities identified in ANNEX 3 as “shared.” In the event that FDA requires the completion of development activities that are not included in ANNEX 3 as part of the NDA approval process for the Product, ERN will cover the costs for such activities up to a cost of [**] euros (€[**]).

2.3.2                     ERN has provided to Zavante its currently available part of the Technical Documentation for the IND to be approved by the FDA.  ERN will use know-how and provide to Zavante its part of the Technical Documentation for the NDA to be approved by the FDA.  ERN is performing a stability study according to ICH guidelines with Product produced at a cGMP-approved plant. The testing is being done partially with new NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) methodology, having no previous data about degradation products different from impurity A described

5

in the European Pharmacopoeia monograph for Disodium Fosfomycin. With this NMR methodology, ERN is detecting new degradation products that were not previously detected using prior methodology.  The chemical structure of some of these new degradation products cannot be identified by NMR identification techniques.  There is not an expectation of reducing degradation product content below the ICH standard identification threshold through changes in the manufacturing process of the Product. In order to perform its Commercially Reasonable Efforts for qualifying those degradation products in the Product, ERN will carry out with over-degraded drug product, the safety studies specifically listed in ANNEX 6, in order to try to qualify, at least, the degradation products level present in the drug product obtained in the cGMP-approved plant, after [**] at [**]. No other information will be provided by ERN in order to fulfill its obligations relative to section 4.2.3.7.6 Impurities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, ERN will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Zavante in answering any questions FDA may have with regard to ERN’s information as listed in ANNEX 6.

Zavante acknowledges that finalizing the characterization identification and qualification is a complex process for ERN with some uncertainty of result, and that ERN is only obliged to carry out its Commercially Reasonable Efforts during the process, and which, if it fails (for impossibility of achieving a technically acceptable result, or for the impossibility of ERN to act beyond its Commercially Reasonable Efforts), ERN will in no way be responsible for indemnifying Zavante for its investment in clinical studies for FDA approval, or in facilities or other kind of investment, which Zavante undertakes exclusively at its own risk and expense. In no case will ERN perform clinical studies for qualifying a degradation product.

2.3.3                     All information, including reports and findings, and study results, are Intellectual and Industrial Property of ERN and ERN Confidential Information, and shall be disclosed to Zavante only for Zavante to disclose to the FDA as required for ERN and Zavante to perform their obligations hereunder and under the FD&C Act.  ERN will provide Zavante with updated reports of its findings and Zavante will provide that information to the FDA as part of Zavante’s ongoing IND submission process.

2.3.4                     Zavante will provide ERN with [**] advance notice of the need for Technical Documentation for the NDA. Following such notice period, ERN will provide its part of the Technical Documentation (which will be considered as Intellectual Property of ERN and ERN Confidential Information) for the NDA to Zavante within [**] of Zavante’s written request.  Such Technical Documentation for the NDA will be in English and its content will be in accordance with the relevant sections of ANNEX 6, and its format will comply with ICH guidelines. Zavante will review the Technical Documentation for the NDA prior to submitting the NDA and will give its comments or acceptance to ERN in writing. If there is any insufficiency in the Technical Documentation, ERN will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to update the Technical Documentation according to Zavante’s reasonable request as quickly as possible. FDA has the final approval of the Technical Documentation and ERN will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to address any comments or requests from FDA regarding ERN’s part of the Technical Documentation for the NDA.

6

2.3.5                     The Technical Documentation for the NDA must include sterility and stability testing using final drug product assays for Phase 3 and for Commercial product, using cGMP and complying with ICH guidelines and FDA requirements for the designated facility that will make final Product.

2.4                               Confirmation of Technical Documents:  Zavante will confirm in writing to ERN if, to the best of its knowledge, the Technical Documents delivered by ERN to Zavante for inclusion in the NDA are acceptable for that purpose. Notwithstanding any such confirmation by Zavante, if FDA does not find the Technical Documents to be acceptable, or if FDA asks for new or additional Technical Documents, ERN shall remain responsible for providing Technical Documents that meet FDA’s requirements at its sole expense, and the obligations of the Parties under ANNEX 3 shall remain unchanged.

2.5                               Disclosure/Development of Health Risk Data.  Zavante agrees to disclose to ERN any information that is or becomes known by Zavante regarding health risks that may be involved in manufacturing the Product.  Such information shall include, without limitation, OSHA required information, information regarding occupational exposure limits, toxicology studies and reports, and other health-related data.  If reasonable industrial hygiene data is not available, ERN and Zavante will cooperate to develop necessary and reasonable data as mutually agreed.

2.6                               Customs Documentation and Valuations.  For samples or documentation delivered hereunder, Zavante shall be responsible for arranging customs documentation and valuations directly or indirectly through its designated customs broker.  If Zavante requests ERN to assume these responsibilities and ERN agrees, ERN shall utilize its designated customs broker and shall state customs valuations that appropriately reflect contract costs.  ERN’s reasonable costs in providing such customs services shall be invoiced to, and reimbursed by Zavante.  Zavante shall be responsible for payment of all customs duties and related assessments.

ARTICLE 3:  COORDINATORS; DIVESTMENT

3.1                               Appointment of Coordinators.  Within [**] after the signing of this Agreement by both Parties, Zavante and ERN shall each appoint an authorized representative and a backup representative (“Coordinators”) for the exchange of all communications, other than legal notices, related to the development activities for the Product.  Each Party shall provide notice to the other Party as to the name and title of the individuals so appointed.  Each Party may replace its Coordinators at any time for any reason by providing written notice to the other Party in accordance with Section 15.13 hereof.

3.2                               Divestment of Products.

3.2.1                     If during the term of this Agreement, Zavante elects to divest to any Third Party its Drug Rights, Zavante shall so inform ERN of any such divestment. Zavante shall also provide ERN with a letter advising ERN that Zavante has informed such Third Party of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that the Third Party assumes all the rights and obligations assumed by Zavante under this Agreement.

7

This is without prejudice to Section 15.6 of this Agreement and the assignment will be effective unless ERN has exercised its right to reject the assignment because the Third Party is an ERN Competitor. For the avoidance of doubt, Zavante’s exercise of its right to sublicense its rights to the ERN Intellectual and Industrial Property and ERN Confidential Information to a Third Party, as permitted under Section 10.2 shall not be considered a “divestment” of Drug Rights under this Agreement.

3.2.2                     Pending transfer of any Divested Product hereunder to a Third Party, Zavante agrees to be responsible for any payment obligations that have accrued hereunder in respect of such Divested Product.  Zavante also agrees to be responsible for FDA compliance with respect to any Divested Product until such time as Zavante and the Third Party have completed the transfer of this Agreement in accordance with Section 15.6 of this Agreement, that is, by formal written assignment that is in form acceptable to ERN, with such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld.  It shall not be unreasonable to withhold consent for an assignment to an ERN Competitor.

ARTICLE 4:  WARRANTIES; SPECIFICATIONS; QUALITY

4.1                               Disclaimer by ERN.  ERN expressly disclaims (a) any warranty that the Products (i) will be fit for any particular purpose, or (ii) will not violate or infringe the patent or other Intellectual and Industrial Property rights of third Parties as to formulation or composition; (b) any other warranties with respect to the Product, express or implied, except as expressly stated in this Agreement; and (c) any warranties in respect of the formulation, composition, use, or distribution of the Product or in respect of the marketing and/or sale of the Product to third parties.

4.2                               Mutual Warranties. Each Party hereby represents and warrants to the other (i) that all corporate action on the part of the Party, its officers and directors, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of such Party under this Agreement has been taken; and (ii) that entering into this Agreement does not violate any other agreement or obligation binding upon the Party.

4.3                               Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing warranties and representations and the further obligations of the Parties hereunder, in no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation any claim for damages based upon lost profits or lost business opportunity.

ARTICLE 5:  MILESTONE PAYMENT; QUARTERLY SALES REPORTING; ERN KNOWLEDGE PRICE

5.1                               Milestone Payment.  Zavante shall notify ERN within [**] following: (a) Zavante’s receipt of written notification from FDA of the approval of the NDA; and (b) the date of the First Commercial Sale.  Zavante shall make a one-time payment to ERN of [**] dollars (US$[**]), as an initial ERN Knowledge Price, within [**] after the First Commercial Sale (the “Milestone Payment”) after receiving ERN’s invoice for such initial payment.

8

5.2                               [**] Sales Reporting; ERN Knowledge Price.  Zavante will provide a copy to ERN of each purchase order issued to Ercros for the purchase of API Mixture concurrently with issuing each such purchase order to Ercros.  Within [**] following the end of each [**] commencing after the [**], Zavante shall (a) provide to ERN a report summarizing the number of vials of the Product sold during such [**], and copies of all reports received by Zavante from its third party logistics providers showing the number of vials sold by such providers during the [**], and (b) pay to ERN the ERN Knowledge Price based on the number of vials sold during such [**] within [**] after receiving ERN’s invoice for each such payment. Additionally, commencing after the [**], Zavante shall periodically provide to ERN a copy of portions of Zavante’s audited [**] financial statements that show the number of vials of the Product sold to Third Parties during the respective audited period, if any. During the period commencing after the [**], and continuing through the Term, upon reasonable prior notice and not more than [**], ERN may have Zavante’s records audited by an independent certified public accountant selected by ERN and reasonably acceptable to Zavante for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the ERN Knowledge Price under this Agreement. ERN shall bear the costs of any such audit.  All of the reports data and information regarding sales of the Product and purchases of the API Mixture shall be Confidential Information of Zavante.

An example of the scheme of the information to be sent by Zavante is summarized in ANNEX 7.

5.3                               ERN Obligations. ERN will send to Zavante an invoice for each ERN Knowledge Price payment and the Milestone Payment within [**] after receiving the relevant information from Zavante. Conditioned upon Zavante complying with the obligation to make the ERN Knowledge Price payments set forth in Section 5.2, neither ERN nor any of its Affiliates or licensees shall: (a) manufacture or supply API, API Mixture or Product to any Third Party for purposes of developing, testing, seeking regulatory approval for, marketing, selling or distributing the Product in the Territory, (b) disclose to any Third Party any information provided to ERN by or on behalf of Zavante in connection with this Agreement, (c) license, allow, enable, facilitate or assist in any way, directly or indirectly, any Third Party to use the API Mixture, or ERN Intellectual and Industrial Property, for purposes of developing, testing, seeking regulatory approval for, importing, marketing, selling or distributing the Product in the Territory, or (d) on its own behalf or on behalf of any Third Party, develop, test, obtain regulatory approval for, market, sell or distribute the Product in the Territory.  In the event that Zavante is in default of its obligation to pay the ERN Knowledge Payment as required under Section 5.2, ERN shall promptly provide written notice of such default to Zavante.

Zavante’s indemnification obligations under this Section 8.1 will be reduced to the extent that indemnifiable Losses arise out of or in connection with any gross negligence, gross misconduct or material breach of this Agreement by an ERN Indemnitee.

8.2                               Indemnification by ERN.  ERN shall indemnify and hold Zavante, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Zavante Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any Losses to the extent directly attributable to (a) any Third Party claim of illness, injury or death caused by the use of any Clinical Product manufactured by ERN which does not conform to the Clinical Product specifications; (b) gross negligence or willful misconduct by ERN or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, or representatives; and (c) ERN’s material breach of this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 12.1.  ERN’s indemnification obligations under this Section 8.2 will be reduced to the extent that indemnifiable Losses arise out of or in connection with any gross negligence, gross misconduct or material breach of this Agreement by a Zavante Indemnitee.

8.3                               Indemnification Procedures.  A Party (the “Indemnitee”) which intends to claim indemnification under this Article 8 shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any action, claim or other matter in respect of which the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents intend to claim such indemnification; provided, however, the failure to provide such notice within a reasonable period of time shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its

12

obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitee, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall, at its own expense, cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation, negotiation, compromise, settlement and defense of any action, claim or other matter covered by this indemnification, including, without limitation, by providing information, documentation, access to witnesses for written or oral testimony that is or may reasonably be considered to be relevant to the subject of indemnification set forth in this Article 13 or the obligations of the Indemnitor under such Article.  The Indemnitor shall be in charge of and control of any such investigation, negotiation, compromise, settlement and defense, and shall have the right to select counsel with respect thereto, provided that the Indemnitor shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of all material developments in the matter.  In no event shall the Indemnitee compromise or settle any such matter without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; nor shall the non-consenting Party be bound by any such settlement in the absence of such consent.  The Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense.

When providing notice of an infringement claim, such notice shall (i) identify the nature of the claim with as much specificity as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and (ii) identify, initially and on an on-going basis, any other person/entity having a potential indemnification obligation to the Indemnitee to whom the Indemnitee has provided notice of the Loss.  The Indemnitor shall not have any right, without the Indemnitee’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle any such claim if such settlement arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit or proceeding or contains a stipulation to or admission or acknowledgement of, any liability or wrongdoing (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) on the part of the Indemnitee, calls for or requires any performance by the Indemnitor over and above the amount for which the Indemnitee is responsible under this Article 8, or requires any specific performance or non-pecuniary remedy by the Indemnitor.  The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of a claim with counsel of its choice at its own expense. Except in the case of a settlement having been entered into by the Indemnitor without the Indemnitee’s consent, the Indemnitor’s assumption of the defense of any claim asserted to be within the scope of the indemnity shall not prejudice the determination of whether a claim is properly subject to indemnification hereunder nor waive the Indemnitor’s right at any time to disclaim obligations under this Article 8.

8.4                               Survival of Indemnification Obligations.  The provisions of this Article 13 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9:  CONFIDENTIALITY

9.1                               During the term of this Agreement and for a period of [**] following termination of this Agreement, each of Zavante and ERN agrees not to publish, disclose or use for any purpose other than its performance hereunder, any information disclosed by the other Party which is ERN Intellectual and Industrial Property or Zavante Intellectual and Industrial Property, respectively, or which is designated as proprietary or confidential (“Confidential Information”), including, without limitation, information stored on audio or video tapes

13

and disks, or information or knowledge visually acquired by or generated by Zavante or ERN personnel in the form of written notes and memoranda memorializing information or knowledge acquired visually, aurally or orally in the course of either Party’s performance hereunder.

9.2                               Each Party (the “Receiving Party”) shall limit disclosure of Confidential Information received hereunder from the disclosing party (the “Disclosing Party”) to only those officers and employees, and in the case of Zavante, consultants, of the Receiving Party (or its Affiliates’) who are directly concerned with the performance of this Agreement, on a need-to-know basis.  Each Party shall advise such officers or employees, and in the case of Zavante, consultants, upon disclosure of any Confidential Information to them of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the terms and conditions of this Article 14, and shall use all reasonable safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information by such officers and employees, and in the case of Zavante, consultants.

9.3                               Both Parties agree that the following shall not be considered Confidential Information subject to this Agreement:

9.3.1                     information that is in the public domain by publication or otherwise, provided that such publication is not in violation of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement to which one of the Parties is bound;

9.3.2                     information that the Receiving Party can establish in writing was in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party and was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Disclosing Party, other than a disclosure that originated from the Disclosing Party without restriction on further disclosure;

9.3.3                     information that the Receiving Party lawfully receives from a Third Party; provided, however, that such Third Party was not obligated to hold such information in confidence;

9.3.4                     information that, prior to the Disclosing Party’s disclosure thereof, was independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to any Confidential Information as established by appropriate documentation; and

9.3.5                     information that the Receiving Party is compelled to disclose by a court, administrative agency, or other tribunal; provided however, that in such case the Receiving Party shall immediately give as much advance written notice as feasible to the Disclosing Party to enable the Disclosing Party to exercise its legal rights to prevent and/or limit such disclosure.  In any event, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that, in the opinion of the Receiving Party’s legal counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and will exercise reasonable best efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment by said court, administrative agency or tribunal.

14

9.4                               All Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party.  Upon the termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon the request of the other Party, the Receiving Party shall immediately return or destroy any Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession, custody or control, except that the Receiving Party may keep one (1) physical copy for archival purposes.  Confidential Information in digital form may be retained for archival and/or regulatory purposes only if stored in a way that restricts access to persons with a legitimate need to know and Commercially Reasonable Efforts are used to prevent additional copies from being made.  The Disclosing Party’s failure to request the return of Confidential Information shall not relieve the Receiving Party of its confidentiality obligations under this Agreement.

9.5                               Each Party acknowledges and expressly agrees that the remedy at law for any breach by it of the terms of this Article 9 shall be inadequate and that the full amount of damages which would result from such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms.  Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by either Party of this Article 9, the other Party shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief prohibiting any such breach and requiring the immediate return of all Confidential Information. The remedies set forth in this Section 9.5 shall be in addition to any other remedies available for any such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the breaching Party.

9.6                               The terms and conditions of this Agreement, but not the fact of its existence, shall constitute Confidential Information of Zavante, except that either Party may disclose such terms and conditions to its Affiliates in accordance with Sections 9.2 and 13.2 hereof.

10.8                        In no circumstance without the written permission of ERN shall Zavante be entitled to reverse engineer the API, the API Mixture or the Product to circumvent ERN Intellectual and Industrial Property rights or ERN Confidential Information.

ARTICLE 11:  FORCE MAJEURE

11.1                        Effects of Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of its obligations under this Agreement in case such failure or delay is due to any condition beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party including, without limitation, Acts of God, strikes or other labor disputes, war, riot, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, fire, civil disorder, explosion, accident, flood, sabotage, lack of or inability to obtain adequate fuel, power, materials, labor, containers, transportation, supplies or equipment,  breakage or failure of properly maintained machinery or apparatus, national defense requirements, or supplier strike, lockout or injunction (a “Force Majeure Event”).  Such excuse shall continue as long as the Force Majeure Event continues, provided, however, that Zavante may cancel without penalty any and all Purchase Orders in the event ERN is unable to fulfill an outstanding Purchase Order within sixty (60) days of its scheduled delivery date due to a Force Majeure Event.  Upon cessation of such Force Majeure Event, such Party shall promptly resume performance on all Purchase Orders that have not been terminated.

19

15.7                        Continuing Obligations.  Termination, assignment or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party from full performance of any obligations incurred prior thereto.

15.8                        Waiver.  Neither Party’s waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time, shall in any way affect, limit or waive such Party’s right thereafter to enforce and compel strict compliance with every term and condition of this Agreement.

15.9                        Severability.  Each Party hereby expressly agrees that it has no intention to violate any public policy, statutory or common laws, rules, regulations, treaty or decision of any government agency or executive body thereof of any country or community or association of countries; that if any word, sentence, paragraph, clause or combination thereof in this Agreement is found by a court or executive body with judicial powers having jurisdiction over this Agreement or either Party hereto, in a final unappealed order, to be in violation of any such provisions in any country or community or association of countries, such words, sentences, paragraphs, clauses or combination shall be inoperative in such country or community or association of countries and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain binding upon the Parties, so long as enforcement of the remainder does not violate the Parties’ overall intentions in this transaction.

15.10                 Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its interpretation.
