6. Further Assurances. The following language shall be added to the end of Section 2 as a new Section 2.7:

“Section 2.7 Further Assurances. BioValve and BTI agree to assist Company, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to evidence, record and perfect the assignment in Section 2.2 herein, to apply for and obtain recordation of and from time to time enforce, maintain and defend the assigned rights, and to transfer and assign any regulatory approvals, including but not limited to FDA 510(k) clearances, relating to the Device Assets to the Company.

“No Scheduled Contract or Assumed Liability includes BioValve’s or BTI’s agreement to indemnify, hold harmless or defend any third party with respect to any assertion of infringement or other violation of Intellectual Property Rights or warranting the lack thereof. All of the Scheduled Contracts are currently in effect, in good standing and without any breach or default by either party. No event or circumstance has occurred, exists or is contemplated (including, without limitation, as a result of the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of any obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby), that with or without notice or the lapse of time, could result in the (i) breach of any Scheduled Contract or Assumed Liability, (ii) loss or expiration of any right or option by BioValve or BTI (or the gain thereof by any third party) under any Scheduled Contract or (iii) release, disclosure or delivery to any third party of any part of the Intellectual Property Rights.”

8. Intellectual Property Representations and Warranties. The following language shall be added to the end of Section 3 as new Sections 3.5 through 3.10:

“Except as otherwise set forth in the amended Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection with this Amendment:

Section 3.5 Authority and No Conflict. BioValve and BTI have the full power, right and authority to enter into and make the contributions and assignments and perform its other obligations under this Agreement without the consent, approval or authorization of any other person or entity, and this Agreement constitutes BioValve and BTI’s valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by BioValve and BTI, and their compliance with the terms thereof, do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach of any terms of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, obligation or instrument to which BioValve or BTI is a party or by which it is bound.

Section 3.6 Ownership. BioValve and BTI are the sole and exclusive owners of the Contributed Assets and there are no shared ownership interests of any kind in or to any of the Contributed Assets. All of the Intellectual Property Rights in the Contributed Assets are valid, enforceable and subsisting. No governmental registration of any of the Intellectual Property Rights has lapsed, expired or been canceled, abandoned, opposed or the subject of a reexamination request.

Section 3.7 No Outstanding Rights. BioValve and BTI have not previously assigned, transferred, licensed, pledged or otherwise encumbered any of the Contributed Assets to any party other than the Company, or agreed to do so, and there are no outstanding options or rights granted to any third party in or to any of the Contributed Assets, or to acquire any rights or licenses to any of the Contributed Assets. Execution and delivery of this Agreement will convey to and vest in Company good and marketable title to the Contributed Assets, free


and clear of any liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances, and will otherwise provide Company with unrestricted rights to use and exploit the Contributed Assets.

Section 3.8 Inventorship. The sole inventors of the Device Assets are BioValve and BTI employees, all of whom were acting within the scope of their employment with BioValve or BTI and are bound by valid and enforceable written assignments that are necessary and sufficient to irrevocably transfer all of their rights, title and interests therein to Bio Valve or BTI. Each current and former employee and contractor of BioValve and BTI has executed and delivered (and to the best of BioValve’s and BTI’s knowledge respectively, is in compliance with) an agreement in substantially the form of BioValve’s or BTI’s standard confidentiality and inventions assignment agreement, which agreements provide valid written assignments to BioValve or BTI of all rights, title and interests in and to any invention, work product or other intellectual property rights conceived or developed thereunder, in whole or in part, by such persons. The Intellectual Property Rights do not include, and operation of the business relating to the Device Assets does not require, any (i) invention of any past or present employee or contractor made prior to or outside the scope of their employment or engagement with BioValve or BTI or (ii) any confidential or proprietary information or trade secret of any former employer of any such person or any other third party.

Section 3.9 Quiet Enjoyment. There have been no threats, communications, claims, actions, proceedings or litigation, and there is no basis upon which a claim may be made against BioValve, BTI, the Company or any of their respective affiliates, that could give rise to any Assumed Liability or that challenges the inventorship, ownership, scope, validity or enforceability of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. There is no instance where it has been held, claimed or alleged, whether directly or indirectly, and there is no basis upon which a claim may be made, that the subject matter of any Intellectual Property Right infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any intellectual property right of a third party, or that any activity of a third party infringes or may infringe upon or is in violation of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.

Section 3.10 Confidentiality. BioValve and BTI have taken all commercially reasonable and appropriate steps to protect and preserve the confidentiality of all trade secrets and other proprietary information relating to the Device Assets and the Intellectual Property Rights therein (“Business Confidential Information”). All use by and disclosure to employees or others of Business Confidential Information by BioValve and BTI has been pursuant to the terms of valid and binding written confidentiality and nonuse/restricted-use agreements.”


9. Legal Fees. The following language shall be added to the end of Section 4.4:

“Company will pay 50% of the outstanding legal fees of Foley Hoag LLP, counsel to certain of BioValve’s investors, with the Company’s share of such fees not to exceed $87,500.”

10. Covenants. The following language shall be added to the end of Section 4 as a new Sections 4.5 through 4.11:

“Section 4.5 Indemnification. BioValve shall defend and indemnify certain investors in Company for any breach of its obligations, representations and warranties herein, as further specified in the Valeritas, Inc. Recapitalization and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 26, 2008 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).

Section 4.6 Non-Competition. During the Restricted Period (as defined below), each party shall refrain from Competition (as defined below) with the other. For the purposes of this provision: “Competition” means (i) directly or indirectly, individually or in conjunction with others, engaging in activities that compete with the Business (as defined below) of the other party, (ii) causing or attempting to cause any existing or prospective customer, supplier, client or account of in the area of the Business to terminate, limit or in any manner modify, or fail to enter into, any actual or potential business relationship with the other party; “Business” means any business in which a party is engaged or has proposed to be engaged on the Amendment Effective Date (provided, that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Business of the Company shall specifically include any business that is based upon or uses the Contributed Assets); “Restricted Period” means a period commencing as of the Amendment Effective Date and ending on the date five years following the Amendment Effective Date.”

Section 4.7 Company Employees. BioValve acknowledge and agrees that all employees on the attached Appendix 3 are Company employees. BioValve agrees that it will not, beginning as of the date of this Amendment and for a period of two years thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), and anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly, on behalf of BioValve or any affiliate, encourage or solicit any person who at the time of such encouragement or solicitation is an employee or consultant of, or advisor to, Company to terminate such person’s relationship with Company for any reason; or solicit or recruit, directly or by assisting others, or attempt to solicit or recruit to BioValve or to any other person or entity who is or was a Company employee or consultant within the Restricted Period.

Section 4.8 Intercompany Note. BioValve and Company will agree that all existing intercompany notes, accounts payable and receivable, and other accounts shall be, and hereby are, canceled in consideration of the issuance by Company of a note in the form attached as Annex I in the principal amount of $1,771,508, which Company shall issue on or prior to the date of this Amendment, which note provides that Company shall pay BioValve $1 million of the amounts outstanding under the note within seven (7) days of the issuance date


and all remaining amounts outstanding under the note in equal monthly installments on or prior to February 26, 2009 (or the date of the Subsequent Closing (as such term is defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), if earlier).

Section 4.9 Rapid Infuser Payments. In the event that Company enters into licensing or partnering agreements with any third party on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, granting the third party a right to use the Rapid Infuser Technology in the development and/or commercialization of such Rapid Infuser Technology alone or in combination with a pharmaceutical agent, Company shall pay BioValve an amount equal to nine percent (9%) of any cash upfront license or signing fees which Company actually receives from such third party and nine percent (9%) of any cash development milestone payments, with a development milestone defined as any milestone payment for any purpose other than those described below as payments that are excluded (“License Payments”). Such payments will be made to BioValve within thirty days after receipt by Company of such License Payments from the third party licensee. For clarity, Company’s payments to BioValve under this Section 4.9 shall not include (and will not be based on) any (a) amounts that are payable directly in connection with the sale of a product incorporating the Rapid Infuser Technology, including royalties, profit shares or sales milestones, (b) payments for equity or debt of Company, (c) payments for the manufacture or supply of products by Company, including research support or research reimbursement payments, (d) payment or reimbursement for services performed by Company, (e) payment on account of costs associated with the prosecution, maintenance, enforcement, defense or suits with respect to intellectual property (the “Excluded Payments”). For payments in connection with licensing or partnering agreements related to a combination of a pharmaceutical agent and the Rapid Infuser Technology in which Company has invested greater than $2 million in direct development costs prior to such licensing or partnering agreement (a “Combination Product”), ten (10%) percent of the Licensing Payments from the Combination Product shall be deemed allocatable to the Rapid Infuser Technology and the baseline for the nine (9%) percent payments hereunder. Payment or consideration received by Company in any form other than cash that directly relates to the Rapid Infuser Technology and is made in lieu of cash Licensing Payments shall be considered Licensing Payments for purposes of this Agreement. This provision shall survive a change of control. On the signing of each new licensing agreement with a third party and on each February 1 following the Amendment Effective Date, Company will provide BioValve a written summary of the Licensing Payments agreed to including any revisions in a third party agreement that affect BioValve’s payments and an updated status on the expected timing of those payments for the sole purpose of BioValve’s business planning.

Section 4.10 Waiver and Release. BioValve hereby stipulates and agrees that it has and will have no rights, claims or causes of action against Company with respect to any Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities, and hereby waives, releases and agrees not to assert or exercise any such rights, claims or causes of action, whether known or unknown, contingent or accrued.


11. Device Assets and other Intellectual Property. Schedule 1.1 of the Disclosure Schedule is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety by the new Schedule 1.1 in the form attached hereto as Appendix 1.

12. Schedule 2.2(c). Schedule 2.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety by the new Schedule 2.2(c) in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2.

13. BioValve Assets. Appendix 4 hereto contains a true and complete list all BioValve assets and property currently located on Company’s premises. BioValve hereby covenants and agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove all such assets and property from Company’s premises on or before September 30, 2008.

14. Scope of Amendment. This Amendment shall be effective and binding upon the parties as of the Amendment Effective Date. Except and only to the extent specifically modified herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Amendment and the Agreement, this Amendment shall control. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In making proof of this Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
