Company desires to repurchase One Million and Eight Hundred Thousand (1,800,000)
of the shares from Shareholder (the “Repurchased Shares”)
and Shareholder desires to sell the Repurchased Shares to the Company, for an
aggregate repurchase consideration equal to Nine Million and One Hundred-Eight

accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the California
General Corporation Law, the Repurchased Shares shall return to the status of

Agreement, Shareholder shall deliver to the Company duly executed stock powers
in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto transferring the Repurchased Shares to
the Company and stock certificates including the Repurchased Shares registered
in the name of such Shareholder for cancellation and return to the Company’s
stock record book. Upon receipt of the stock certificates and duly
executed stock powers, the Company shall direct its transfer agent to issue a

(b) Title to
Shares. Shareholder owns the
Repurchased Shares free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, encumbrances,
security interests, equities, restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions
under applicable securities laws) or other defects in title of any kind or
description and, upon delivery of the Repurchased Shares and receipt of the
Repurchase Price therefore, Shareholder will convey to the Company valid and
marketable title to the Repurchased Shares, free and clear of all liens,
charges, claims, encumbrances, security interests, equities, restrictions on
transfer (other than restrictions under applicable securities laws) or other
defects in title or description.
(c) Investment
Representations. Due to Shareholder’s
pharmaceutical industry experience, Shareholder possesses the expertise to be
able to fend for itself in the transaction contemplated by this

the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, other

Treatment. The

incurred in connection therewith, including reasonably attorneys’
fees.
