For the purposes of this definition, the transfer of a Product by Buyer or one of its Affiliates to another Affiliate of Buyer or to a sublicensee for resale is not a sale and in such cases, Net Sales will be determined based on the amount received by Buyer or such Affiliate or Sublicensee in respect of the Product or “Combination Product” (subject to the adjustments set forth below) as sold by the Affiliate or Sublicensee to independent third-parties, less the Recognized Deductions.

| 5. | Diligence Obligation and Buy Back Option |
| 5.1 | Diligence Obligations. The control of the Acquired Assets and the business related thereto on and after Closing will rest exclusively with Buyer and Seller shall not have any right to object to the manner in which same are handled or conducted after the Closing, including any rights to prevent the merger or consolidation of Buyer, any sale or transfer of any shares of Buyer or any assets of Buyer to any third Person or the acquisition of any interests in or assets of any third Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer will, if the Closing does occur, make a good faith, continuous and commercially reasonable effort to allocate appropriate financial resources (by itself and/or thorough cooperation with third party partners) to prepare, initiate and complete the clinical development of the Products (with the exception of Picoconda) and file an application for regulatory marketing approval in accordance with industry standards (the “Diligence Obligation”). For the avoidance of any doubt, development failures, negative regulatory decisions, and/or other reasons that are beyond Buyer's control, shall not constitute a breach of the Diligence Obligation. |
Buyer agrees to keep Seller informed with respect to activities and progress toward further research, development and commercialization of the Products. Towards this end, as of six months following the Closing, and bi-annually thereafter, Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with written reports summarizing such activities as well as the prosecution and maintenance activities planned or due in respect of the Patents deemed by Buyer to be necessary for the development of the respective Products. Buyer agrees to give Seller written notice as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after Buyer becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, of any event of which Buyer becomes aware that is materially related to the safety of a Product (such as serious adverse events) or that concerns any material developments, material failures (including, without limitation, the grant of any regulatory approval), or material events.
| 5.2 | Buy Back Option. Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for a material breach by Buyer of the Diligence Obligation in respect of any of the Products that is not remedied within ninety (90) days of notice by Seller of such breach, shall be the option to acquire the relevant Product, as well as the Intellectual Property, Technology Intellectual Property and Assigned Agreements associated with the relevant Product (the "Relevant Therapy") at the Buy-Back Price (the “Buy Back Option”). |
If Seller wishes to exercise its Buy Back Option then it must give a written notice to Buyer of such intention (the "Notice of Intention"). The Notice of Intention must specify: (i) the circumstances upon which Seller is relying in order to effect the Buy Back Option; and (ii) its proposed date for acquiring legal and beneficial ownership in the relevant Product that is the subject of the Buy-Back. The Notice of Intention does not constitute a notice exercising the Buy Back Option.
Promptly, but no later than 21 days after receiving the Notice of Intention, Buyer must calculate the Buy Back Price and give written notice to Seller of same (the "Notice of Buy Back Price"). Buyer must also provide Seller at the time its gives the aforementioned notice with reasonable evidence substantiating its calculations and with a reasonable opportunity to undertake due diligence on the Relevant Therapy.
The “Buy Back Price” with respect to the Product the subject of the Notice of Intention shall be equal to Buyer’s purchase price of the relevant Products as set out in Exhibit 5.2 as well as the Development Costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the Relevant Therapy up to the date of such sale back to Seller.
If Buyer does not dispute Seller’s provision of the Notice of Intention and does not remedy the material breach, Seller will have 30 days after its receipt of the Notice of Buy Back Price from Buyer to exercise the Buy Back Option. The Buy Back Option may be exercised by Seller giving a written exercise notice to Buyer together with payment of the Buy Back Price without any set-off, counterclaim or any other condition (the "Exercise Notice").
Promptly, but no later than 30 days after the receipt by Buyer of the Exercise Notice, Buyer must transfer to Seller (or its nominee which must be an Affiliate) all rights of Buyer in the Relevant Therapy "as-is" with no representations or warranties whatsoever free and clear of all Liens on title created by Buyer. Buyer must also transfer to Seller (or its nominee which must be an Affiliate) all its rights in and under Assigned Agreements which relate to the Relevant Therapy at the same time as the transfer of legal and beneficial ownership of the Relevant Therapy by entering into assignment agreements equivalent in form and substance to those provided by Seller at the Closing hereunder, mutatis mutandis, or that are otherwise to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer. The provisions of Section 14.1 will apply to sale of the Relevant Therapy except that all references to "Buyer" shall be construed as "Seller (or its nominee)", and vice versa. Any costs associated with the transfer of the Relevant Therapy and associated Assigned Agreements to the Seller pursuant to exercise of the Buy Back Option shall be borne by Seller.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Option granted by Buyer to Seller in accordance with this Section may be separately exercised by Seller (or its nominee who must be an Affiliate) in respect of any Product which Buyer has committed a material breach of the Diligence Obligations. The occurrence of a dispute between the parties will not prejudice Seller's right to acquire the Relevant Therapy following the resolution of that dispute.
As of the date of the relevant Exercise Notice, all Buyer’s obligations related to the Product and Relevant Therapy covered by the Exercise Notice shall terminate.
| 5.3 | No Assurance. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a warranty by Buyer that any commercialization to be carried out by it in connection with this Agreement will actually achieve its aims or any other results and Buyer makes no warranties whatsoever as to any results to be achieved in consequence of the carrying out of any such commercialization. Furthermore, Buyer makes no representation to the effect that the commercialization of any of the Products, or any part thereof, will succeed, or that it shall be able to sell any of the Products in any quantity. The foregoing provision does not qualify the obligation of Buyer to use its good faith, continuous and commercially reasonable effort to fulfill the Diligence Obligation in accordance with Section 5.1. |
| 6. | Payments |
| 6.1 | Up-Front Payment. Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, USD $500,000 (USD five hundred thousand) to Seller to the account listed in Exhibit 6.1 (the “Closing Payment”). [****]. All payments will be made to the account listed in Exhibit 6.1 unless otherwise instructed by Seller a reasonable time prior to the date of payment. |
| 6.1A | Use of Advance and Grant of Charge. Seller shall use the Advance solely for the payment of the costs and expenses listed in Exhibit 6.1A. In the event that the Closing shall not take place within 45 days of the Effective Date, for any reason whatsoever, the full amount of the Advance shall be repaid to the Buyer immediately upon the expiration of such 45 day period; provided that in the event that prior to such time the Seller’s Board of Directors rescinds its approval of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Seller's shareholders consider and do not approve the transactions contemplated hereby, the full amount of the Advance shall be repaid to the Buyer immediately following that occurrence. |

Seller shall be liable for any amounts required to be paid in order to accomplish such registrations. The Seller hereby represents that the Collateral and all other assets that are subject to the Charge as at the time of the creation of the Charge are free and clear of all mortgages, Liens, loans and encumbrances, claims or any other rights that might impair the rights or the priority of the Buyer pursuant to the Mortgage or the Featherweight Charge. The Seller shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens on the Collateral or any other assets that are subject to the Charge at any time, without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

Buyer will promptly, but no later than 7 days after the receipt of the second accounting firm's written report, give a copy of that report to Seller. If the results of the two audits do not reconcile, then the parties must engage in good faith negotiations for a period of thirty (30) days with the view of resolving the audit discrepancies as soon as possible. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to how the audit discrepancies should be resolved, then a party may engage a third independent auditor (who will be selected by the head of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel if the parties are unable to agree an auditor) to review the discrepancies between the two audits and conduct (if necessary) a third and final audit to resolve those discrepancies. The third auditor will provide its draft report to Seller and Buyer for their reasonable comment and review before finalizing same. The determination of the third auditor will be final and binding on the parties in the absence of manifest error.

All other statements or communications to the public or press concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be mutually agreed upon, other than statements and communications which contain information which was previously released as agreed upon between the parties, for which approval is not required. Nothing herein shall prevent a party hereto from releasing any information if required to do so by Applicable Law, in which case best efforts to consult with the other parties will be made prior to any such release so that they may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and further provided that in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the disclosing party shall furnish only that portion of the information which is legally required. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, until the Closing, the parties may individually contact all relevant third parties in connection with the third party approvals and/or letters of assignment contemplated by this Agreement and following the Closing, any such contact shall be made only by Buyer or at Buyer's request by the parties together. |

In such event Seller shall have the right to take over the prosecution, maintenance, development and commercialization of that Patent within the relevant jurisdiction at its own cost and expense by giving Buyer a written notice of its intention to do so within 30 days of receiving the written notice from Buyer. If Seller exercises its foregoing right then: (a) Buyer will promptly provide all information reasonably requested by Seller for the sole purpose of assisting Seller to prosecute, maintain, develop and commercialise the Patent in the relevant jurisdiction; and (b) Seller will have the right to all revenue received from sales of the Product made by Seller pursuant to such Patent in the relevant jurisdiction notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

| 14. | Confidentality |
| 14.1 | Subject to any obligation to comply with Applicable Law, ASX Listing Rule, court order, and except as expressly set forth herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all information obtained by each party hereto (the “receiving party”) about the other party hereto (the “disclosing party”) shall be maintained in strict confidence and the receiving party shall cause its affiliated entities, officers, employees and agents to keep such information strictly confidential. In addition, receiving party shall not make any use of such information other than strictly for purposes hereof. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, receiving party shall promptly return or cause to be returned to the disclosing party all written data, information, files, records and copies of documents in whatever form, obtained by receiving party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that the receiving party is subject to disclosure duties under Applicable Laws, the receiving party shall have the right to make any disclosure of information only to the extent required under such laws. Furthermore, this confidentiality undertaking shall not apply with regard to information which: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure thereof by any receiving party; (ii) is lawfully received by the receiving party or any affiliate thereof from a third party under no obligation of confidentiality or nondisclosure to the disclosing party; (iii) the receiving party or any affiliate thereof had prior knowledge with respect thereto, as evidenced in written records. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in connection with periodic and financial reports to its shareholders, the receiving party may make general statements regarding the nature and progress of the transaction. A receiving party may disclose the existence of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement, and any Confidential Information to its professional advisers provided those advisers are subject to an obligation of confidentiality. All obligations of Buyer under this Section 14.1 shall terminate with respect to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities simultaneously with the Closing. |
| 14.2 | From and after the Closing, Seller shall hold in strict confidence from any Person and shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge or make any unauthorized use of, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives to hold in strict confidence from any Person and to not, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge or make any unauthorized use of, any Confidential Information. As used herein, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean and include any and all non-public information relating to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, and include any documents and information provided by a disclosing party to a receiving party in accordance with this Agreement that does not satisfy the carveouts set out in Sections 14.1(i) to 14.1(iii). |
| 14.3 | Seller, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and its representatives, acknowledges that in view of the nature of the Confidential Information and the objectives of each of Buyer and Seller in entering into this Agreement, the restrictions contained in Section 14.2 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer after the Closing, and that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 14.2 will cause irreparable injury to Buyer for which an adequate monetary remedy does not exist. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach of this Section 14.2, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to the exercise of other remedies, to seek and obtain injunctive relief, without necessity of posting a bond, restraining Seller, its Affiliate or its representatives, as applicable, from committing such breach or threatened breach. |

| 15.2 | Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 15.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Buyer or Seller or their respective officers, directors, shareholders or Affiliates; provided, however, that each party hereto shall remain liable for any breaches of this Agreement prior to its termination; and provided, further, that the provisions of Sections 7 [Record Retention and Audit], 13.13 [Access to Records], 14 [Confidentiality], 16 [Indemnification; Set –Off Right], 17 [Dispute Resolution], 18.3 [Taxes and Expenses], and 18.5 [Governing Law; Jurisdiction] shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement. |

| 16.4 | Third Person Claims. |
16.4.1 If (i) a Third Person Claim against any Indemnified Party is solely for money damages or, (ii) where Seller is the Indemnifying Party, the Third Person Claim will have no continuing effect in any material respect on any Buyer Protected Party, the Acquired Assets and, in each case, the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party in respect thereof, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Person Claim against such Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified Party from any Indemnitor hereunder, and in any such case the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate in connection therewith and shall promptly furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that:

| 17.2 | Notice of Dispute. When a party claims that a dispute has arisen under this Agreement, that party must serve a written notice of that dispute to the other party. |
| 17.3 | Appointment of Representative. Following the notification of a dispute pursuant to Section 17.2, the parties must each within three days appoint a representative to resolve the dispute.

| 17.4 | Independent Expert. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute in accordance with Section 17.3 and the dispute relates to the fair market value of the consideration received from the Product sales or the value of Net Sales generated from Combination Products or the fair market value of the Products given away as 'loss leaders', then the parties will appoint an independent expert to resolve that dispute. If the parties are unable to agree the independent expert within 5 days of the expiry of the notice period referred to in Section 17.3, then a party may ask the head of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel to appoint an independent accountant to resolve the dispute. Both parties must co-operate with the independent expert in good faith and provide all information reasonable required by the independent expert provided that expert is subject to a confidentiality obligation. The independent expert must provide its draft report to Seller and Buyer for their reasonable comment and review before finalizing same. The independent expert must provide its draft recommendations within 30 days of the date of their appointment. The parties must provide their comments on the draft report of the independent expert within 5 days of receiving same. The independent expert must take into account the parties' comments on the draft recommendations and finalize his report within 5 days of the expiry of the 5 day consultation period. A failure by a party to do so will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of the recommendations of the independent expert. The determination of the independent expert will be final and binding on the parties in the absence of manifest error. The costs of the independent expert will be shared by the parties equally. This provision will not apply if a dispute in relation to the value of Net Sales generated from Combination Products or 'loss leaders' arises as part of an audit which is to be resolved in accordance with Section 7.2. |
| 17.5 | Commencement of Legal Proceedings. If: (a) the parties have not reached agreement upon a mechanism for the resolution of a dispute within 30 days after the notification of the dispute or any additional period upon pursuant to Section 17.3; (b) the independent expert has not delivered a report within 30 days of being instructed to do so or has failed to finalize his report within the prescribed timeframe or his finalized report contains manifest errors; or (c) any party (other than the party notifying the dispute) shall fail to observe the timetable referred to in Section 17.5, any party may commence proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction in relation to that dispute. The parties are not entitled to commence litigation in relation to the findings of an independent expert appointed in accordance with Section 7.2 or 17.4 unless the report of the independent expert contains manifest errors. |

STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
SUBJECT TO DUE DILIGENCE
This Disclosure Schedule is provided by Giaconda Limited pursuant to Section 11 of the Asset Purchase Agreement between Giaconda Limited and Redhill Biopharma Ltd (the "Agreement").
Terms of Provision
This Disclosure Schedule is subject to the following terms and conditions:
| (a) | capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined have the meanings given to those terms in the Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise; |
| (b) | the introductory language and headings to each section of this Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and do not create a different standard for disclosure than the language set forth in the Agreement; |
| (c) | the inclusion of any item in any section of this Disclosure Schedule, which section requires the listing of a “material” item or an item or action that would have a Material Adverse Effect, is not an admission that the included item is “material”; |
| (d) | the inclusion of any item in any section of this Disclosure Schedule, which section requires the listing of an item or action which is not in the ordinary course of business is not an admission that the included item or action is not in the ordinary course of business; |
| (e) | where the terms of a document or other disclosure item have been summarized or described in this Disclosure Schedule, that summary or description does not purport to be a complete statement of the material terms of the document or other item and are qualified in their entirety by the document itself; provided however, that Seller represents and warrants that such summary or description does not misstate any of the statements or information included therein, or omit to state a fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; |
| (f) | disclosure of any information or document is not a statement or admission that it is required to be disclosed; |
| (g) | the Disclosure Schedule is not intended to constitute, and must not be construed as constituting, representations or warranties or covenants of the Company, except as and to the extent provided in the Agreement. The fact that any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule is not required to be disclosed in order to render the applicable representation or warranty to which it relates true, or that the absence of any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule would not constitute a breach of such representation or warranty, must not be deemed or construed to expand the scope of any representation or warranty or to establish a standard of disclosure in respect of any representation or warranty. No implication can be drawn that any information provided in the Disclosure Schedule is necessarily material or otherwise required to be disclosed, or that the inclusion of any information establishes or implies a standard of materiality or any other standard set forth in the Agreement. Nothing in this Disclosure Schedule constitutes an admission against Giaconda's interest. |
Interpretation
The section numbers below correspond to the section numbers of the representations and warranties in the Agreement most directly modified by the exceptions. Any information disclosed in this Disclosure Schedule is disclosed and incorporated in any other sections, schedules or exhibits of the Agreement where that disclosure is applicable if that applicability is readily apparent from the disclosure.
