EICCOSE wishes to enter into a Supply Agreement, then the Parties shall diligently negotiate and enter into the same, which will describe how Product for Phase 3 studies and commercial sale (or bulk material of API for use therein) will be supplied by KAYAKU to EICCOSE or its sublicensees. The Supply Agreement shall include the following: provisions regarding the frequency with which EICCOSE or its sublicensees may order Product (or bulk material of API for use therein), any limitations on how much Product (or bulk material of API for use therein) may be ordered at any time, requirements that KAYAKU delivers Product (or bulk material of API for use therein) to EICCOSE or its sublicensees on time with a cure period [ * ], and the right of EICCOSE to establish a second source of Product such that supply of Product for clinical use or commercial sale will not be interrupted in the event KAYAKU is unable or unwilling to provide Product for clinical use or commercial sale (or bulk material of API for use therein) as necessary to meet the requirements of EICCOSE and its sublicensees. In any event, the Supply Agreement shall provide for the identification by EICCOSE of an alternate Third Party manufacturing source acceptable to KAYAKU after the initiation of Phase 3 studies and related disclosure to such Third Party manufacturing source by KAYAKU of Information sufficient to manufacture Product for the EICCOSE Territory under a secrecy agreement reasonably acceptable to KAYAKU; provided that the second source shall not supply more than [ * ] of EICCOSE’s and its sublicensees’ needs for so long as KAYAKU can provide the remaining [ * ], and is providing on-time delivery of the total amount of Product (or bulk material of API for use therein) meeting required specifications as ordered by EICCOSE or its sublicensees. Subject to the provision of preceding sentence, EICCOSE may elect to have such Third Party manufacturing source supply Product for commercial sale for the EICCOSE Territory at any time provided that EICCOSE shall pay to KAYAKU [ * ] of the applicable price per 30 mg of API contained in the Product (or bulk material of API) set forth in Section 5.3 for Product to be sold that would otherwise apply if KAYAKU supplied such material for such capsule that is supplied by the Third Party manufacturing source unless such supply results from a KAYAKU breach of the Supply Agreement by KAYAKU or other failure by KAYAKU to timely perform as provided in the Supply Agreement. EICCOSE and KAYAKU shall negotiate the other terms and conditions of the Supply Agreement in good faith and conclude the Supply Agreement prior to the initiation of the Phase 3 studies, unless EICCOSE exercises its Manufacturing Option, as provide in under Section 5.3 below.

(g) Provided KAYAKU is in compliance with all laws and regulatory requirements and the Supply Agreement, EICCOSE shall either purchase the Study Product (or bulk material of API for use therein) from KAYAKU for use in Phase 3 studies conducted by or for EICCOSE at a price [ * ] or at a price set forth below in case of bulk material of API or have it otherwise manufactured pursuant to the Manufacturing Option under Section 5.3. This purchase or exercise of the Manufacturing Option will be made upon proof of concept in Phase 2 studies and in any event contemporaneously with the Regulatory Authority concurrence on plans for Phase 3 studies. If EICCOSE elects to source Phase 3 Study Product from KAYAKU, KAYAKU shall sell to EICCOSE the Study Product (or bulk material of API for use therein) to be used for Phase 3 studies. The price per 30 mg of API contained in the Study Product shall be [ * ]. However, in the event the bulk material of API is supplied in lieu of the Study Product, the price per 30 mg shall be [ * ].

Page 10 of 29

(h) Phase 2b and Phase 3 studies to be conducted by EICCOSE under this Agreement are contemplated to be placebo-controlled studies, so placebo capsules must be used. EICCOSE and KAYAKU shall discuss which Party shall procure or produce placebo capsules, and KAYAKU shall disclose to EICCOSE Information relating to the production of such placebo capsules to the extent then available if KAYAKU is not the supplier.

3.2 Purchase of Study Product by EICCOSE’s Sublicensees. EICCOSE’s sublicensees shall have the same right to purchase from KAYAKU the Study Product (or bulk material of API for use therein) under the same conditions as in Section 3.1(e), (f) and (g) and under the conditions of the Supply Agreement and the same Manufacturing Option under Section 5.3.

In the event KAYAKU has Net Sales of Product for which a royalty payment by EICCOSE is due under the Stanford License, it being understood that no such royalty is due for Product made and sold in the Asian Territory, then KAYAKU shall comply with the royalty reporting obligations contained therein for such Net Sales.

(c) Foreign Exchange. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in U.S. dollars of the Net Sales invoiced in other currencies shall be made at the average of the closing exchange rates (TTM) reported by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. over the last five (5) business days of the applicable reporting period for the payment due.

(d) Payment Method; Late Payments. All royalty payments due to EICCOSE hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by EICCOSE.

6.2 Records; Audits. KAYAKU will, and will assure that its sublicensees will, maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit EICCOSE to confirm the

Page 15 of 29

accuracy of the calculation of running royalty payments under this Agreement. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available during regular business hours for a period of [ * ] from the end of the calendar year to which they pertain for examination at the expense of EICCOSE, and not more often than [ * ] each calendar year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by EICCOSE and reasonably acceptable to KAYAKU or its sublicensees, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by KAYAKU pursuant to this Agreement. Any such auditor shall not disclose to EICCOSE KAYAKU’s Confidential Information or its sublicensees’ Confidential Information, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by KAYAKU or the amount of payments due by KAYAKU under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within [ * ] from the receipt by KAYAKU of the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 6.1(d)) from the original due date.

6.3 Taxes. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of the running royalty. In the event that KAYAKU is required to withhold any taxes on any amount payable to EICCOSE hereunder, under the applicable Laws of the KAYAKU Territory, KAYAKU may deduct such withholding taxes and shall obtain and furnish EICCOSE with official tax receipts, or other evidence of payment of such withholding taxes, sufficient to permit EICCOSE to demonstrate the payment of such withholding taxes, in order to establish EICCOSE’s right to a credit for such withholding taxes against EICCOSE’s income tax liability in U.S.

EICCOSE shall pay to KAYAKU remaining [ * ] after such documents have been prepared, filed, and determined adequate by the Regulatory Authority, at which time KAYAKU shall issue an invoice that shall be paid by EICCOSE within [ * ] by telegraphic transfer to the bank account designated by KAYAKU. In the event, such documents are finally determined not adequate by the Regulatory Authority due to the reasons attributable to KAYAKU, KAYAKU shall pay back to EICCOSE such [ * ] received from EICCOSE. However, in the event, such documents are finally determined not adequate by the Regulatory Authority due to the reasons not attributable to KAYAKU, KAYAKU shall not pay back to EICCOSE such [ * ] and EICCOSE shall pay to KAYAKU such [ * ] after receipt of invoice from KAYAKU.

The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

12.7 No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing the Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

12.8 Independent Contractors. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way. Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the Parties.

12.9 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Delaware of the United States, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different state.

12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement shall be executed in two (2) counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Appendix 2.2(g)

As required under the Stanford License, KAYAKU and its sublicensees acknowledge and agree that the license grant under Section 2.2 (a) of this Agreement is further subject to the following, for the benefit of Stanford:

(1) No Refund for Patent Challenge. In the event that a validity or non-infringement challenge of a patent sublicensed from Stanford is brought by KAYAKU or a KAYAKU sublicensee, and the challenge is successful, KAYAKU will have no right to recoup any royalties paid before or during the period of such challenge.

(2) Termination Report. KAYAKU will, even after the termination of the Stanford License, pay to EICCOSE the running royalty set forth in Section 2.2(a) and submit to EICCOSE a report set forth in Section 6.1 (b) pursuant to Section 6.1 (b). EICCOSE shall inform KAYAKU of the termination date of the Stanford License.

(3) Accounting. KAYAKU and its sublicensees will maintain records showing manufacture, importation, sale, and use of Product for [ * ] from the date of sale of the Product. Records will include general-ledger records showing accruals and cash receipts and expenses, and records that include related information in sufficient detail to enable EICCOSE and Stanford to determine the royalties payable under this Agreement.

(4) Audit. KAYAKU and its sublicensees will allow an independent certified public accountant of EICCOSE or Stanford reasonably acceptable to KAYAKU or its sublicensees to examine KAYAKU’s and its sublicensee’s records to verify payments made by KAYAKU under this Agreement. EICCOSE or Stanford will pay for any audit done, but if the audit reveals an underreporting of earned royalties due EICCOSE of [ * ] or more for the period being audited, KAYAKU will pay the audit costs.

(5) Negation of Warranties. Stanford has provided EICCOSE the rights and licenses granted in the Stanford License “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS”. Stanford makes no representations and extends no warranties of any kind, either express or implied with respect to the Stanford Sublicense. Among other things, Stanford disclaims any express or implied warranty: of merchantability, of fitness for a particular purpose, of non-infringement or arising out of any course of dealing.

(6) No Representation of Licensed Patent. KAYAKU also acknowledges that Stanford does not represent or warrant with respect to the Stanford Sublicense: the validity or scope of any patent licensed to EICCOSE, or that the exploitation of any patent licensed from Stanford will be successful.

(7) Indemnification. KAYAKU will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend all the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, Stanford, and Stanford Hospitals and Clinics, and their respective trustees, officers, employees, students, and agents against any claim of any kind arising out of or related to the exercise of any rights granted by EICCOSE under the Stanford Sublicense or the breach of this Agreement by KAYAKU.

(8) No Indirect Liability. Stanford is not liable for any special, consequential, lost profit, expectation, punitive, or other indirect damages in connection with any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement (including the Stanford Sublicense), whether grounded in tort (including negligence), strict liability, contract, or otherwise.

(9) Workers’ Compensation. KAYAKU will comply with all statutory workers’ compensation and employers’ liability requirements for activities performed by workers or employees of KAYAKU under this Agreement.

(10) Insurance. KAYAKU and its sublicensees shall procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover their respective obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during which the Product is being clinically tested in human subjects or commercially distributed or sold by KAYAKU or its sublicensees, as applicable.

(11) Litigation by KAYAKU. In the event KAYAKU or a KAYAKU sublicensee brings an action seeking to invalidate any patent sublicensed from Stanford under the Stanford Sublicense: KAYAKU will [ * ] the payment of the running royalty paid to EICCOSE on the sales of the Product in the country where such action to invalidate such patent is sought, during the pendency of such action and EICCOSE shall pay such amounts to Stanford as required under the Stanford License with respect to the KAYAUK Territory. Moreover, should the outcome of such action determine that any claim of a patent challenged by KAYAKU is both valid and infringed by a Product in the

Page 26 of 29

Field, KAYAKU will pay [ * ] the running royalty originally due under this Agreement on the sales of the Product in the country where such action to invalidate such patent is sought; KAYAKU and any KAYAKU sublicensee will have no right to recoup any royalties paid before or during the period of challenge; KAYAKU shall not pay royalties into any escrow or other similar account. KAYAKU will provide written notice to EICCOSE and Stanford at least [ * ] prior to bringing an action seeking to invalidate a patent sublicensed under the Stanford Sublicense. KAYAKU will include with such written notice an identification of all prior arts it knows at the time of such notice and believes invalidates any claim of any patent sublicensed under the Stanford Sublicense.

(12) License to the US Government. The United States Government has a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, royalty-free, paid-up right to practice or have practiced the patents licensed from Stanford throughout the world by or on behalf of the United States Government and on behalf of any foreign government or international organization pursuant to any existing or future treaty or agreement to which the United States Government is a signatory.
