CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may be disclosed within the limits required to

indirectly, any IOMED KNOW-HOW, IOMED PATENT RIGHTS or other CONFIDENTIAL

on a fully-diluted basis, or otherwise controlling the IOMED's Board of

offer with respect to that portion of IOMED"s business that relates to the
FIELD, and not to the remaining potion of IOMED's business. DDS and/or
ELAN shall have a period of thirty (30) days to conduct appropriate due
diligence and to determine whether it desires to match an offer made by an
OFFERING PARTY with respect to that portion of IOMED's business that
relates to the FIELD, (including the same economic, payment and other
terms); it being understood that IOMED shall make available to DDS and/or
ELAN reasonable and sufficient information to enable DDS and/or ELAN to
conduct such due diligence.

such transaction is first publicly announced or commenced)(including
without limitation, in connection with a tender offer or offers or proxy
solicitation), DDS shall have the right in its sole discretion, to
terminate the licences granted by DDS pursuant to this Agreement, without
