(i) [***] U.S. dollars (U.S. $[***]) upon the first dosing of a patient in a Phase IIa Clinical Study in humans of an intravenous dosage form of one of the Compounds in the Field;

(ii) [***] U.S. dollars (U.S. $[***]) upon the first dosing of a patient in a Phase III Clinical Study of an intravenous dosage form of one of the Compounds in the Field;

(iii) [***] U.S. dollars (U.S. $[***]) upon the submission by or on behalf of the Buyer of an NDA with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for an intravenous dosage form of one the of the Compounds in the Field; and

(iv) [***] U.S. dollars (U.S. $[***]) upon receipt by Buyer of approval of an NDA from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of an intravenous dosage form of one of the Compounds in the Field.

Each Milestone Payment set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above shall only be payable once upon the first such milestone event to occur. Each Milestone Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of achievement of the related event. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and except as otherwise may be required pursuant to the terms of an agreement in connection with the Co-Marketing Election, the determination as to whether to proceed with the development of any of the Compounds in the Field shall be in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion and Buyer shall have no liability whatsoever for not starting, temporarily or permanently abandoning or otherwise ceasing development of any of the Compounds in the Field.

(c) Additional Consideration; Royalties. As additional consideration of the sale, conveyance, delivery, transfer, and assignment of the Assets to Buyer and Seller’s other covenants and obligations hereunder, Buyer shall pay Seller a royalty equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of Buyer’s Net Sales of an intravenous dosage form of one of the Compounds in the Field, subject to the royalty definitions, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.1(c). The obligation to pay such royalties shall end on the earlier of (i) such time as the cumulative royalties paid under this Section 2.1(c) equal fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000), or (ii) the expiration of the last Patent included in the Seller Intellectual Property which covers such Compound or use thereof in the Field. The following provisions shall apply to the foregoing royalty obligations:

(i) “Licensed Product” shall mean any intravenous dosage form of a Compound in the Field.

(ii) “Net Sales” shall mean the sales revenues invoiced or otherwise received by Buyer and its Affiliates and licensees from sales of a Licensed Product sold or otherwise transferred for value to third parties, less the following reasonable and customary deductions to the

[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

extent applicable to such invoiced amounts: (i) trade, cash and quantity discounts; (ii) amounts for allowances or credits for returns, retroactive price reductions, rebates and chargebacks; and (iii) handling fees and prepaid freight, postage or insurance costs on shipments of the Licensed Product, sales, taxes, duties and other governmental charges (including value-added tax), but excluding what is commonly known as income taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, Net Sales shall not include sales by Buyer or its Affiliates licensees to their respective Affiliates or licensees for resale; provided that if Buyer, its Affiliate or licensee sells a Licensed Product to an Affiliate or licensee for resale to a third party, Net Sales shall include the amounts invoiced by such Affiliate or licensees to third parties on the resale or use of such Licensed Product. Net Sales for combination products shall be calculated as set forth in Section 2.1(c)(iii).

(iii) Royalties on Combination Products. In the event that a Licensed Product is sold for a single price in combination with another product, or a combination pharmaceutical product including another active pharmaceutical ingredient in addition to a Compound, for which no royalty would be due hereunder if sold separately, Net Sales from such combination product sales for purposes of calculating the amounts payable by Buyer shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the combination product by the fraction A/(A + B), where “A” is the average gross selling price during the previous calendar quarter of such Licensed Product sold separately and “B” is the average gross selling price during the previous calendar quarter of the other non-royalty bearing product or the other active ingredients when sold separately. In the event that separate sales of such Licensed Product or such other non-royalty bearing product or active ingredient were not made during the previous calendar quarter, then the Net Sales shall be reasonably allocated between such Licensed Product and such other non-royalty bearing product or active ingredient based on their relative values.

(iv) Records, Audits. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and licensees to, keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable to be determined. Buyer shall permit said records to be examined for three years following the end of the period to which such records pertain and no more than once per calendar year, at Seller’s expense, by authorized representatives of Seller, such representatives having been reasonably approved of by Buyer and bound by confidentiality agreements reasonably acceptable to Buyer, upon reasonable prior notice and during usual business hours, and only to the extent necessary to verify the reports and payments required hereunder. Such examination shall be solely for the purpose of ascertaining the correctness of royalties reported and paid and no period shall be audited more than once.

(v) Payments, Reports. All royalties paid by Buyer shall be in United States dollars. All foreign currency conversions are to be based on the Wall Street Journal published rates as of the last business day preceding the date of payment and report of royalties by Buyer to Seller. Buyer shall furnish written reports to Seller within thirty (30) days following the close of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement setting forth the number, gross selling prices, offsets to gross selling prices and net selling prices of each kind of Licensed Product sold by Buyer and its Affiliates and licensees in such calendar quarter, and the royalties due thereon. Each report shall be accompanied by a remittance of any royalties then due hereunder.

If Seller so elects, the parties shall negotiate in good faith an agreement under which (i) Seller would receive co-marketing rights in North America and, if Seller so elects, in its sole discretion, exclusive marketing rights in the rest of the world, subject to diligence requirements, (ii) Seller would pay Buyer a royalty of [***] percent ([***]%) of its (and its Affiliates’ and licensees’) North American net sales or worldwide net sales, as the case may be, of such product, plus be responsible for (A) if Seller has elected to market outside of North America, [***] percent ([***]%) of any royalties due to the University of California and the University of Alberta for sales outside of North America and (B) [***] percent ([***]%) of any royalties due to the University of California and the University of Alberta for sales within North America (for purposes of (B), such sales shall include sales by both Seller and Buyer and their respective Affiliates), (iii) Seller would pay to Buyer a front-end payment equal to the cumulative development costs Buyer has incurred in connection with such intravenous dosage form of the Compounds in the Field from the Effective Date to the date that Seller makes the Co-Marketing Election, (iv) Buyer would remain responsible for the payment of [***] percent ([***]%) of any royalties due to the University of California and the University of Alberta for sales within North America (for purposes of (iv), such sales shall include sales by both Seller and Buyer and their respective Affiliates), (v) if Seller does not elect to exercise its exclusive marketing right outside of North America, Buyer would remain responsible for [***] percent ([***]%) of any royalties due to the University of California and the University of Alberta for sales outside of North America and (vi) Seller and Buyer would co-develop the Licensed Product(s) to bring it to a successful approval by the FDA, with each party paying for 50% of the on-going development costs. Such agreement shall contain such other terms and conditions as are customary in pharmaceutical marketing agreements. If Seller does not exercise the Co-Marketing Election within the time period set out above, or if Seller has so exercised but the Parties fail to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the co-marketing rights, then Buyer shall have no further obligation under this Section 2.2(a) and may further develop any Compound in the Field itself or with Third Parties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in the event that Seller makes the Co-Marketing Election pursuant to Section 2.2(a) above, the Milestone Payments in Section 2.1(b) clauses (ii) through (iv), and the royalties in Section 2.1(c) shall not be due and payable, and (ii) Seller’s right to exercise the Co-Marketing Election shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the date of the last to expire Patent right that is included in the Assets.

(b) Buyer Not Successor to Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation (including a liability or obligation that, but for this sentence, would be deemed to be an Assumed Liability) where the existence or nature of such liability or obligation constitutes or arises out of a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller hereunder.

Seller shall provide Buyer the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each such Consent prior to the execution thereof and shall take into account any comments received by Buyer and incorporate such comments to the extent practicable. If any such Consent cannot be obtained prior to the Effective Date, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Document, this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of the Non-Assignable Right, and Seller and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Consent as soon as possible after the Effective Date. If any such Consent cannot be obtained prior to the end of the transfer period set forth in Section 5.9 below, at

Seller’s election, (A) the Non-Assignable Right shall not be included as an Asset and Buyer shall have no obligations or rights pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or this Section 2.4(a) or otherwise with respect to any such Non-Assignable Right or any liability with respect thereto or (B) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Buyer substantially all of the practical benefit and burden of such Non-Assignable Right, including by (1) entering into appropriate and reasonable alternative arrangements on terms mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller and (2) subject to the consent and control of Buyer, enforcement, at the cost and for the account of Buyer, of any and all rights of Seller against the other Party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other Party or otherwise.

(b) If any of the Permits included in the Assets are not assignable or transferable without obtaining a replacement Permit, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Document, this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of any such Permit, and Seller shall cooperate, to the extent commercially reasonable, with Buyer in its efforts to obtain a replacement Permit issued in Buyer’s name. If any replacement Permit has not been obtained prior to the Effective Date, Seller shall allow Buyer to operate under Seller’s Permit, if permitted by Applicable Law or applicable Governmental Authorities, for a period of up to ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary for Buyer, using its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain the replacement Permit).

Buyer shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to Seller in respect of any amounts paid to any revenue authority pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that any withholding Tax

shall subsequently be found to be due, payment of such Tax shall be the responsibility of Seller. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other, including by completing or filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable income tax treaty or Applicable Law, to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, any such applicable Taxes.

Each Party shall give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review all filings of this Agreement and all filings describing the terms of this Agreement with any Governmental Authority, including without limitation the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, prior to submission of such filings, and shall give due consideration to any reasonable comments by the non-filing Party relating to such filing, including the provisions of this Agreement for which confidential treatment should be sought.

At Buyer’s reasonable request, Seller shall provide assistance to the employees and contractors of Buyer and its Affiliates as may be reasonably required to ensure an efficient and orderly transfer of such Seller Intellectual Property and Books and Records to Buyer. Promptly following the transfer of all tangible embodiments of the Seller Intellectual Property and Books and Records, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, destroy all remaining digital or electronic records containing any Buyer Confidential Information and shall provided a certificate of an officer of Seller to such effect. During such period, Seller will cooperate with Buyer to effect physical transfer of all Non-Clinical and Clinical Material to Buyer, or Buyer’s designee, in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices.

(b) that constitute or are based upon fraud or intentional misrepresentation shall survive [***];

The covenants, agreements and obligations of the Parties shall survive until fully performed and discharged, unless otherwise expressly provided herein. For clarity, the covenant set forth in Section 5.3 shall survive [***]. Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party of (x) any event, circumstance or condition that constitutes a breach of, or makes inaccurate, any representation and warranty of such Party hereunder, or (y) the non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation of such Party hereunder.

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

(e) any Transfer Taxes allocated to Seller pursuant to Section 5.2;

(f) any Permitted Lien relating to the Assets

Section 7.3. Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies or otherwise with respect to such Losses (net of any Tax or expenses incurred in connection with such recovery). For purposes of clarification, nothing set forth in this provision shall require the Buyer to seek recovery under its insurance policies with respect to such Losses.

(b) Any indemnity payment hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Where the receipt of any such payment is treated for Tax purposes in a manner other than as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, the amount of the payment shall be adjusted to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred, or benefit actually enjoyed, by the Indemnified Party in respect thereof.

(c) Each Party shall take and shall cause its Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person, including loss of revenue, income or profits, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof.

Section 7.5. Certain Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) If any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification, or receives notice of the assertion of any

claim or of the commencement of any Action by any Person not a party to this Agreement against such Indemnified Party, for which a Party is required to provide indemnification under this Article VII (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that Action; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such Action.

(b) With respect to third party claims for which indemnification is claimed hereunder (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Indemnification Claim, and (ii) if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, such Indemnification Claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone and the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages and commits to diligently and vigorously conduct such defense, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (A) to direct the defense of any Indemnification Claim at its sole cost and expense, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and (B) to settle and compromise any such Indemnification Claim or Action for money damages alone; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party has elected to be represented by separate counsel pursuant to the proviso below, or if such settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party for any liability arising out of such Indemnification Claim or Action, such settlement or compromise shall be effected only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement or compromise offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept the offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 7.6, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the Indemnified Party declines to accept such offer, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement or compromise offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept plus the Losses of the Indemnified Party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or Action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 7.5 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, an actual or potential conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation advisable, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided further, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees of more than one law firm for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Indemnification Claim. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall each render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such Action.

(c) In the event that Seller owes any amounts to Buyer with respect to Seller’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VII, then without limiting any other rights or

remedies of Buyer hereunder, and subject to the Cap, the Buyer shall be entitled to offset any unpaid and indemnifiable Losses against any Milestone Payments remaining due to the Seller hereunder.

Section 7.6. Certain Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VII, no Party shall have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Sections 7.2(a) or 7.3(a) unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $[***] (the “Basket”), in which case Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall be liable for all Losses arising from such Indemnification Claim (subject to the Cap, as defined below). In no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, for any indemnification obligations for Losses under Sections 7.2(a) or 7.3(a) exceed $[***] (the “Cap”).

(b) If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim. For purposes of clarification, nothing set forth in this provision shall require the Indemnifying Party to seek recovery under its insurance policies with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

Section 7.7. Exclusive Remedy. The sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the Related Documents, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against the other Party, arising under or based upon any Applicable Law (including any such law relating to environmental matters or arising under or based upon common law or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.7 shall not operate to limit the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) or limit the rights of the Parties to pursue claims based upon fraud.

Whenever a Party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party. The Party giving such notice shall refrain from instituting the arbitration proceedings for a period of sixty (60) days following such notice.

(b) Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted before the American Arbitration Association, or its successor.

CORTEX REACQUIRES ALL AMPAKINE^® COMPOUNDS, RELATED

PATENTS AND EXCLUSIVE GLOBAL RIGHTS FOR RESPIRATORY

DEPRESSION FROM BIOVAIL

— The transaction results in a return of all previously transferred assets and rights to Cortex —

IRVINE, CA (March 16, 2011) — Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB (CORX.OB)) announced that it has entered into an agreement with Biovail Laboratories International SRL (“Biovail”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (“Valeant”), to regain the AMPAKINE^® assets and rights related to respiratory depression.

Under the new agreement, Cortex will make an upfront payment to Biovail of $200,000, and potential future payments of up to $15.15 million based on the achievement of certain development and NDA submission and approval milestones. Biovail is also eligible to receive additional payments based on Cortex’s net sales of an intravenous dosage form of the compounds for respiratory depression up to a maximum of $15 million. In addition, at any time following completion of Phase I clinical studies and prior to the end of Phase IIa clinical studies, Biovail retains an option to co-develop and co-market intravenous dosage forms of an AMPAKINE compound as a treatment for respiratory depression.

Biovail previously purchased these rights and compounds from Cortex in March 2010. Following its merger in September 2010, Valeant and Biovail conducted a strategic and financial review of the product development pipeline. As a result of that review, the decision was made that Biovail would exit this program and discussions were entered into between Biovail and Cortex.

“We are pleased that both companies were able to reach an agreement for the return of all AMPAKINE assets and intellectual property sold early last year to Biovail,” commented Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, Ph.D., President and CEO of Cortex.

The assets repurchased by Cortex include the Phase II AMPAKINE, CX717; the rights to an injectable form of CX1739 and all dosage forms of CX1942, the first water soluble intravenous

pro-drug for an AMPAKINE compound; along with the exclusive global patent rights for the use of AMPAKINE compounds for the treatment of respiratory depression. Under the original agreement with Biovail, Cortex had retained rights to all non-intravenous dosage forms of CX1739 and to the use of AMPAKINE compounds as a treatment for sleep apnea.

Cortex earlier performed two phase IIa studies in Germany to obtain clinical “proof-of-concept” for the prevention of opiate-induced respiratory depression in humans. In these double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover studies, baseline breathing rates were significantly depressed by the potent opiate, alfentanil. A single oral dose of CX717 prevented alfentanil-induced respiratory depression without interfering with the analgesic effects of the opiate. The opiate antagonist, naloxone, also reversed alfentanil-induced respiratory depression, as expected, but it reversed the pain-relieving properties of the opiate as well. The differentiating effect of the AMPAKINE technology is the ability to prevent respiratory depression, while maintaining the opiate’s analgesic effect.

Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Cortex, located in Irvine, California, is a neuroscience company focused on novel drug therapies for treating psychiatric disorders, neurological diseases and sleep apnea. Cortex is pioneering a class of proprietary pharmaceuticals called AMPAKINE^® compounds, which act to increase the strength of signals at connections between brain cells. The loss of these connections is thought to be responsible for memory and behavior problems in Alzheimer’s disease. Many psychiatric diseases, including schizophrenia, occur as a result of imbalances in the brain’s neurotransmitter system. These imbalances may be improved by using the AMPAKINE technology.
