The payment of the amount of USD 2.500.000 (two million five hundred thousand dollars) shall be executed by means of wire transfer within 3 working days from the Effective Date to the account designated by Licensor.

3.1.2

Regulatory Milestones

as for what pertains Product A

[***]

as for what pertains Product B

[***]

3.1.3

Commercial Milestones

as for what pertains Product A

[***]

as for what pertains Product B

[***]

These Commercial Milestones shall be added by Licensor to each royalty invoice following overtaking of the threshold.

3.1.4

At the election of Licensor (such election to be made within 30 (thirty) days from the receipt by Licensor of notice that a Milestone Event has occurred), each Regulatory Milestone and Commercial Milestone shall be paid in newly issued shares of Licensee’s common stock. Such shares shall be issued to Licensor at the Share Price within the following 10 working days from Licensor’s election. The amount of shares issued shall be calculated by dividing the Regulatory Milestone or Commercial Milestone due by the Share Price and rounded to the lower full share amount with the fraction paid in cash.

Licensee shall not be obliged to issue shares to Licensor at the occurrence of a Milestone Event if either:

a) the aggregate number of shares issued to Licensor (including the shares issued as Up-front Payment), as a result of cumulative election by Licensor, shall exceed 10.300.000 (ten million three hundred thousand) shares.

or

b) such issuance could reduce the amount of the Licensee’s accumulated net operating losses deductible for tax purposes against future earnings (Internal Revenue Code Section 382) in excess of USD [***] ([***] dollars) as determined by Licensee. In order for such limitation to apply, Licensee shall share, upon request by Licensor, relevant information on situation of net operating losses deductible for tax purposes against future earnings.

All executional issues regarding issuance and registration of shares according to this provision shall be governed by the Stock Issuance Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement between the Parties annexed to the Agreement as Schedule D and E.

3.2

As additional consideration for the rights and licenses granted by Licensor to Licensee herein, Licensee agrees:

As for Product A

3.2.1

to pay a portion (as hereinafter provided) of direct third party costs of clinical trials and registration costs paid by Licensor (“Direct Costs”) before or after the Effective Date under Third Party Agreements necessary to achieve Regulatory Approval for Product A. Licensee in this respect acknowledges that Licensor has already undertaken certain obligations under the Third Party Agreements for phase III clinical trials of Product A and that such clinical trials design assumes that the relevant data shall be collected both from European and North-American countries, for the simultaneous use towards both FDA and EMEA for the scope of Regulatory Approval for Product A. Licensee accepts therefore under this section to reimburse Licensor 50% of all phase III clinical trials Direct Costs. In this respect and additionally, on or before January 31, 2009 and subject to Licensee receiving an invoice therefore, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor EUR 1.617.500 and USD 737.124 (equal to 50% of phase III clinical trial Direct Costs already borne for the current phase III clinical trials for Product A, amounting to, as of November 18, 2008, to EUR 3.235.000 and USD 1.474.248). Subsequent costs shall be reimbursed accordingly by Licensee to Licensor in the same proportion on a monthly basis within 30 (thirty) days following an invoice from Licensor, which shall be provided within 10 (ten) days following month’s end. If clinical work is required to obtain Regulatory Approval to market Product A in addition to that specifically contemplated in the Third Party Agreements, the Parties shall agree on the additional work to be performed and on an equitable division of the costs therefore, consistent with the equal division of expenses set forth under this section 3.2.1.

As for Product B

3.2.2

to pay the costs of one phase III clinical trial and registration costs necessary to achieve Regulatory Approval for Product B, provided that Licensor and/or its licensee in the EU shall be responsible for conducting a second phase III clinical trial in the same indication. If clinical work is required to obtain Regulatory Approval to market Product B in addition to the two contemplated pivotal phase III clinical studies, the Parties shall agree on the additional work to be performed and on an equitable division of the costs therefore, consistent

with the division of expenses set forth under this section 3.2.2. If, for whatever reason, additional pre-clinical studies should be required, Licensor shall be in charge of them at its own expense.

For clarity, for both Products Licensor shall be responsible for all costs associated with manufacturing scale-up, stability studies and other Product development activities required for filing of the Regulatory Approvals or required by any Regulatory Authority.

3.3

As additional consideration for the rights and licenses granted by Licensor to Licensee herein, subject to Sections 3.4 and 3.5. during the Royalty Term, Licensee agrees to pay to Licensor:

As for what pertains Product A:

(i) a royalty of 12% (twelve percent) on annual Net Sales in the Territory [***]; and

(ii) a royalty of 14% (fourteen percent) on annual Net Sales in the Territory [***].

As for what pertains Product B:

(i) a royalty of 12% (twelve percent) on annual Net Sales in the Territory [***]; and

(ii) a royalty of 14% (fourteen percent) on annual Net Sales in the Territory [***].

3.4

The royalties may be reduced at any time prior to the expiry of the last Valid Claim with respect to a Product in the Territory to account for any and all royalties or other payments paid by Licensee to any third party, under (a) any license that would be necessary for Licensee to resolve any claims that the Product infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of any third party; or (b) any final judgment awarded against Licensee for damages for infringement of third party intellectual property rights consistent with the foregoing sub-section (a). Licensee shall

use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such royalties or other payments to third parties on account of sales of Product hereunder. The reduction shall not exceed an amount equal to 50% of the royalty payable to Licensor according to section 3.3.

	3.5		If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, there is a Competitive Product (as defined below) being sold in the Territory, then beginning with the calendar quarter immediately following the calendar quarter during which a product became a Competitive Product, the royalty rate shall be set with respect to Net Sales of such Product in the Territory at fifty percent (50%) of the applicable royalty rate set forth in Section 3.3 until such time as there is no Competitive Product in the Territory. For purposes of this Section 3.5, “Competitive Product” shall mean a product or products that are AB-rated generic versions of a Product.
	3.6		As additional consideration for the rights and license granted by Licensor to Licensee herein, Licensee agrees to enter into a supply agreement with Licensor and/or one of its Affiliates, as Licensor shall designate, and/or third party supplier approved by Licensee (the “Supplier”) for the manufacture and supply of the Products, which shall include the terms and conditions set forth under section 5 of this Agreement.

4

Reports, Records and Payments.

4.1

After First Commercial Sale of each Product anywhere in the Territory, Licensee shall submit to Licensor quarterly royalty reports for each Product on or before 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter ending March 31, June 30 and September 30 and 75 days after the end of last quarter of each year. Each royalty report shall cover Licensee’s most recently completed calendar quarter and shall show the gross sales, itemized deductions as provided in Paragraph 1.14, and Net Sales of each Product during the most recently completed calendar quarter and the royalties, in USD, payable with respect thereto. Each such report shall be accompanied by a payment equal to the total royalties or Commercial Milestones owed by Licensee with respect to such previous calendar quarter in accordance with the terms of section 3.

	4.2		Licensee shall keep accurate and correct records of all Products sold. Such records shall be retained by Licensee for at least 5 (five) years following a given reporting period.
	4.3		All relevant records shall be available during normal business hours for inspection at the expense of Licensor by a certified public accountant selected by Licensor and in compliance with the other terms of this Agreement for the sole purpose of verifying reports and payments. Such inspections shall occur no more than once per calendar year and Licensor shall provide at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to such an inspection. Such inspector shall not disclose to Licensor any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and payments made under this Agreement or other compliance issues. In the event that any such inspection shows an under reporting and underpayment in excess of five percent (5%) for any twelve (12) month period, then Licensee shall pay the cost of the audit as well as any additional sum that would have been payable to Licensor had the Licensee reported correctly, plus an interest charge at a rate of LIBOR [***]. Such interest shall be calculated from the date the correct payment was due to Licensor up to the date when such payment is actually made by Licensee. For an underpayment not in excess of five percent (5%) for any twelve (12) month period, Licensee shall pay the difference within thirty (30) days without inspection cost charge but with interest charge of LIBOR [***]. With respect to any overpayment, Licensor shall credit the amount of such overpayment against any future amounts owed by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, or if no further payments are due by Licensee hereunder, Licensor shall promptly refund the full amount of the overpayment to Licensee.
	4.4		All cash fees and royalties due to Licensor shall be paid in USD. All payments due to Licensor shall be made by electronic transfer (wire-transfer) to the account that Licensor shall timely communicate to Licensee.

4.5

Royalties earned on sales occurring pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by Licensee for any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government on the payment of fee and royalty income, except that all payments made by Licensee in

			fulfilment of Licensor’s tax liability in any particular country may be credited against earned royalties or fees due to Licensor for that country. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a royalty paid to Licensor subject to a withholding tax imposed on Licensor, Licensee is entitled to reduce royalties by such amount required to be remitted to a government on behalf of Licensor. Licensee shall pay all its bank charges resulting from the execution of such royalty payments.
	4.6		In the event royalty, reimbursement and/or fee payments are not received by Licensor when due, Licensee shall pay to Licensor interest charges at a rate of LIBOR [***]. Such interest shall be calculated from the date payment was due until actually received by Licensor.

5

Supply.

	5.1		Following Effective Date and no later than the date of the first NDA submission, the Parties shall enter into a definitive manufacturing and supply agreement containing the terms set forth in this section 5, together with all other customary and reasonable terms, pursuant to which Supplier shall manufacture and supply for and on behalf of Licensee, and Licensee shall purchase supplies of Products (the “Supply Agreement”).

Samples required for commercialisation shall be supplied by Supplier at actual cost of goods.
	5.10		[***] Reasonably in advance of First Commercial Sale, and reasonably in advance of each year ending December 31 thereafter, Licensee and Supplier shall agree on a price per tablet of Product which, upon the available information at that point in time, shall reflect the principles set forth in Section 5.9.
	5.11		Prior to the initial shipment of Product under the Supply Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a quality agreement to further define the roles and responsibilities for the manufacture (including the packaging), quality control, release, and shipment of the Product.

Development and Regulatory Matters.

			As for Product A:
	7.1		Licensee acknowledges that Licensor has completed a phase II clinical trial for the scope of Regulatory Approval for Product A both in the US and Europe for induction of remission of mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis. Licensee acknowledges that it has been provided data on the outcome of such phase II clinical trials.
	7.2		Licensee acknowledges that Licensor has currently phase III clinical trials ongoing in Europe and US for the scope of Regulatory Approval for Product A in such territories and that it has been provided with information on clinical trials design and accepts such design.
	7.3		Licensor shall be in charge of conducting such US phase III clinical trial for induction of remission of mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis including the conduct of any extension trial, but Licensee shall have a right to supervise and manage all the activities related to the US phase III clinical trial. Licensee acknowledges that management of the phase III clinical trial in Europe and US could be optimized in the interest of both Parties, through the supervision by the Steering Committee (SC) set forth by Section 7.13. The SC shall be in charge of setting such

optimization process with the objective to speed up Regulatory Approval. Independently from this optimization, however, Licensor and Licensee undertake to provide each other at no charge with all information that each one possesses or to which each one has access that is related to the Product and is reasonably necessary to support Licensor or Licensee’s application for Regulatory Approvals including: as for what pertains Licensor (or its licensees in other territories), all information and data related to the EU phase III clinical trial; as for what pertains Licensee, all information and data related to the US phase III clinical trial; and agree that each Party shall have a right of mutual reference at no-cost to the data the other Party shall gather for the purpose of Product A Regulatory Approval.

	7.4		As soon as practically possible following completion of the ongoing phase III clinical trial, Licensor shall transfer to Licensee all regulatory materials (and all rights thereto, including the right to reference any drug master file) to allow Licensee to file an NDA for the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall promptly share any development and/or regulatory data and information generated in connection with Product A from time to time so as not to delay Licensee in filing and obtaining necessary Regulatory Approvals.
	7.5		Licensee shall be the primary Party responsible for regulatory matters in the Territory. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain all Regulatory Approvals in the Territory. Licensee will ensure that such Regulatory Approvals are kept in force at its own expense during the term of the Agreement, and will notify Licensor of any material change in the status of Regulatory Approvals and any extension thereof.
			As for Product B
	7.6		Licensee acknowledges that Licensor has completed a phase II clinical trial for the scope of Product B Regulatory Approval both in the US and Europe for Traveller’s Diarrhoea. Licensee acknowledges that it has been provided data on the outcome of such phase II clinical trials.
	7.7		Licensee acknowledges that, to complete development of Product B in order to file for Product B Regulatory Approval for

Traveller’s Diarrhoea in the Territory, a US phase III clinical trial shall be required.

	7.8		Licensee shall be in charge of conducting the second of two pivotal phase III clinical studies for Traveller’s Diarrhoea necessary to achieve Product B Regulatory Approval. All costs pertaining to such phase III clinical study shall be borne by Licensee. In this respect, Licensee acknowledges that Dr Falk Pharma GmbH (“Falk”) is the Licensee of Product B and related patents for the EU territory plus Australia and that, as such, it shall be in charge of conducting the first pivotal phase III clinical study for Traveller’s Diarrhoea and whatever other clinical phase and/or studies may be necessary to achieve Product B Regulatory Approval in its territory. Licensee acknowledges that design and management of the phase III clinical trials for Traveler’s Diarrhoea in Europe and US could be optimized in the interest of both Parties, through the supervision by the Steering Committee (SC) set forth by Section 7.13 and mutual access to trial data and mutual right of reference. Licensee shall initiate such second pivotal phase III study promptly following receipt of necessary guidance from the FDA. The SC shall be in charge of setting such optimization process, including assuming decisions on strategic protocol design, with the objective to speed up Product Regulatory Approval. Independently from this optimization, however, Licensor and Licensee undertake to provide each other at no charge with all information that each one possesses or to which each one has access that is related to the Product and is reasonably necessary to support Licensor or Licensee’s application for Regulatory Approval including: as for what pertains Licensor (or its licensees in other territories), all information and data related to the EU phase III clinical trial; as for what pertains Licensee, all information and data related to the US phase III clinical trial; and agree that each Party shall have a right of mutual reference at no-cost to the data the other Party shall gather for the purpose of Product B Regulatory Approval.
	7.9		As soon as practically possible following the pre-IND meeting with FDA, Licensor shall transfer to Licensee all regulatory materials (and all rights thereto, including the right to reference any drug master file) to allow Licensee to file the IND for the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall promptly share any development and/or regulatory data and information generated in connection with Product B from time to time so as

not to delay Licensee in filing and obtaining necessary Regulatory Approvals.

	7.10		Licensee shall be the primary Party responsible for regulatory matters in the Territory. Licensee shall therefore obtain and maintain all Regulatory Approvals in the Territory. Licensee will ensure that such Regulatory Approvals are kept in force at its own expense during the term of the Agreement, and will notify Licensor of any material change in the status of the Regulatory Approvals and any extension thereof.
			As for both Products
	7.11		Each Party shall adhere to all requirements of Applicable Laws, rules and regulations, including those which relate to reporting and investigation of adverse events for the Products and shall be responsible for reporting all safety information, including adverse events, to regulatory authorities in the Territory in compliance with such requirements. For this purpose the Parties shall enter into pharmaco-vigilance agreement, reasonably in advance of First Commercial Sale. The Parties shall report promptly to each other any adverse event reports it receives related to the Products.
	7.12		The Parties shall promptly notify each other in writing of the receipt or sending of any correspondence from or to any Regulatory Authority in connection with safety or quality issues concerning the Product. The Party with the most current filing with the Regulatory Authority (an IND or filing for Regulatory Approval) for a Product shall be responsible for responding to any correspondence or inquiry from any Regulatory Authority in the Territory relating to such Product, provided that such Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to all such correspondence and inquiries, and its responses thereto, and provided further that the other Party shall provide the responsible Party with any reasonable assistance in responding to any such correspondence or inquiry. Whenever there are FDA meetings, the Party receiving notice or initiating the meeting shall provide appropriate notice to the other Party, in order to enable it to participate.
	7.13		The Parties shall establish a Steering Committee (“SC”) consisting of four (4) individuals (“Committee Members”), two (2) of whom shall be nominated by Licensee and two (2) of whom shall be nominated by Licensor. Committee members may be replaced by

notice to the other Party and shall be appropriately qualified and experienced in order to make a meaningful contribution to Steering Committee meetings. The purpose of the Steering Committee is to provide a forum for the Parties to share information and knowledge on the development for the sake of most efficient Products Regulatory Approval, including coordination with other licensees of the same Products. The hosting Party shall prepare and distribute meeting minutes. If no unanimous decision is taken, the issue shall be referred to both Licensor’s and Licensee’s CEOs. In case of disagreement between CEOs, Licensee shall have the final say for the Territory.

Intellectual Property.

	8.1		Licensor has registered the Trademark in the countries listed in Schedule C.

	8.2		Licensee may use its own trademark(s) for making, using, and selling the Products in the Territory in accordance with this Agreement. Licensor recognizes the exclusive legal ownership by Licensee of such trademarks in the Territory and Licensor agrees it will not at any time either during the term of this Agreement or thereafter use the Licensee’s trademarks in any manner that might infringe upon Licensee’s ownership rights to the such trademarks directly or indirectly. Nonetheless, Licensee shall use the Trademark jointly with its own trademark(s) in all advertisements, promotions, press releases and all kind of communications and the Products label, as submitted for approval with FDA, shall be branded also with Licensor’s Trademark, unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws.
	8.3		Title to all inventions and other intellectual property related to the Products, including any Improvements, made solely by Licensor or jointly by the Parties during the term of this Agreement shall be owned by Licensor or jointly, as the case may be, and an Exclusive license to such inventions and other intellectual property has been granted to Licensee pursuant to sections 2.1 and 2.2 herein. Title to all inventions and other intellectual property related to the Products, including any Improvements,

made solely by Licensee during the term of this Agreement shall be owned by Licensee.

	8.4		Licensor represents and warrants that it is the rightful and sole owner of all of the Patents, Know-How and the Trademarks free and clear of all security interests and other encumbrances and it has full right to license same to Licensee.
	8.5		Licensor represents and warrants that:

	8.5.1		It is unaware of any actual or threatened claim or action brought alleging that the Patents, Know-How, Products or Trademarks, or their use, violate any intellectual property rights of third parties or challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of such Patents, Know-How or Trademarks;
	8.5.2		To the knowledge of Licensor or its Affiliates, the marketing, use, distribution, or sale of Products in the Territory does not and shall not infringe or otherwise conflict with any intellectual property rights of third parties;
	8.5.3		It is unaware of any third parties infringing on the Patents, Know-How, or Trademark;
	8.5.4		It will, at its own cost, use its best efforts to maintain the Patents and prosecute any pending patent applications, to achieve patent granting, provided that Licensee shall have the right to step-in to maintain and prosecute the Patents in the Territory if Licensor fails to do so;
	8.5.5		Products A and B are covered by the Patents, including at least one issued Patent, and the Products, and their formulation and coating, are as described in the materials provided to Licensee;
	8.5.6		it holds, and is operating in compliance with, such permits, licenses, authorizations and clearances of any Regulatory Authority required in connection with the development to date of Products. Licensor further represents and warrants to Licensee that it has not received any warning letters or written correspondence from any Regulatory Authority or other governmental entity requiring the termination, suspension or modification of any clinical or pre-clinical studies or tests with respect to Products;

8.5.7

to the knowledge of Licensor, none of the Patents are invalid or unenforceable.

	8.6		Except as stated in sections 8.4 and 8.5 of this Agreement, the license granted herein with regard to the Products is provided “as is” and without warranty of merchantability or warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Therefore, in no event shall Licensor be liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from exercise of the license granted herein with regard to the Products; provided that this limitation of liability shall not apply to such damages resulting from manufacturing or handling of the products by Licensor or the other responsibilities of the Licensor under this Agreement, the Supply Agreement or Applicable Laws.
	8.7		Licensor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Licensee, its successors and assignees, harmless from and against any and all liabilities, demands, suits, losses, claims of action, damages, costs and expenses which Licensee may incur, suffer or be required to pay only by reason of violation of the representations and warranties set above in 8.4 and 8.5.
	8.8		Licensor shall have the primary right and responsibility, at its sole cost and expense, to conduct and control prosecution and maintenance with respect to the Patents and Trademarks, provided that Licensee shall reasonably co-operate and assist Licensor in connection with such activities in the Territory. Licensor shall keep Licensee reasonably informed as to the status of any of the Patents and Trademarks in the Territory, and shall consider in good faith the reasonable requests and suggestions of Licensee with respect to the prosecution and maintenance of the Patents and Trademarks in the Territory. Licensor shall not abandon any of the Patents or Trademarks in the Territory without providing reasonable prior written notice to Licensee of such intention to surrender (which notice shall, in any event, be given no later than sixty (60) days prior to the next deadline for any action that would result in such surrender that may be taken with respect to such Patent or Trademark with the relevant patent and trademark office) and providing Licensee an opportunity to assume responsibility for such Patent or Trademark. In the event of surrender, if Licensee elects to assume responsibility for any Patent or Trademark, Licensor shall, at Licensee’s expense, assign all right, title and interest in such Patent or Trademark to Licensee, and Licensor shall promptly take all actions reasonably

necessary or desirable to perfect such interest in Licensee; provided that Licensor will retain all rights and obligations with respect to such Patent or Trademark before the date of such assignment.

	8.9		Each Party shall notify the other if it becomes aware of any infringement or potential infringement of the Patents or the infringement or potential infringement of third party patent rights by exercise of the making, use, or sale of the Products, whether in the Territory or elsewhere. If a Party learns of any such infringement, such Party shall so inform the other Party and provide it with reasonable evidence of such infringement.
	8.10		Each Party shall notify and provide the other Party with copies of any allegations of alleged patent invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any Patent pursuant to a Paragraph IV Patent Certification by a third party filing an Abbreviated New Drug Application, an application under §505(b)(2), or other similar patent certification by a third party (“Paragraph IV Claim”). Such notification and copies shall be provided as soon as practicable, and at least within five (5) working days after the Party receives such certification, and shall be sent by facsimile and overnight courier to the other Party.
	8.11		Licensee shall have the right to notify a third party of the infringement of Patent or Trademark rights or enforce the Patents or Trademarks against a third party without the consent of Licensor if the infringement has occurred within the Territory or pursuant to a Paragraph IV Claim. Both Parties shall use reasonable efforts and cooperation to terminate infringement without litigation. However, in the event of litigation, Licensee shall have sole right to institute, prosecute, and control such litigation at its own expense. Licensor shall cooperate fully in such litigation, and in the case where Licensee desires to bring such litigation, at Licensee’s request, Licensor agrees to join any such litigation and proceed as sole plaintiff if necessary to enforce such Patent(s) against the third party(ies), at Licensee’s own expense. Licensor shall have the right to approve any settlement that would adversely affect the Patents or Licensor’s rights under this Agreement or result in any liability or admission on behalf of Licensor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Licensor may appoint its own attorneys at its own expense. In the event Licensee does not elect to

institute, prosecute or control such litigation, Licensor shall have the right to do so at its own expense.

	8.12		If a third party commences legal action against Licensee claiming the exercise of the license rights by Licensee granted hereunder infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, Licensee shall defend such litigation at its own expense (subject to Licensor’s indemnification obligation, if any).
