apportioned among the Sellers as follows: 25% to CG, 50% to Kava and 25% to

SinglePixel. Delivery of stock certificates representing the Consideration

Shares shall be made to each of the Sellers at the Closing. The parties agree

that the Purchase Price represents fair consideration and reasonably equivalent

value for the Purchased Assets.

(a) ADJUSTMENTS FOR MILESTONES. Buyer shall make a one-time only

payment:

(i) to Kava, or any of its assignees, of [*] payable in either

cash or shares of the Buyer's Common Stock (at the discretion of the Buyer

and, if such payment is in Common Stock, valued at the then current fair

market value of the Common Stock) in a single payment by wire transfer or

delivery of shares of Common Stock to an account designated in writing by

Kava, or any of its assignees, to Buyer within sixty (60) days of the

commencement by Buyer of a Phase III (or other pivotal) clinical trial for

any drug candidate, the manufacture, use or sale of which infringes one or

more Valid Claims of the Kava Patents (a "Kava Drug Candidate"). For

purposes of this Agreement, "Kava Patents" shall mean any and all patent

filings assigned to Kava or to which Kava has or will have any right,

title or interest, including the issued patents and pending patent

applications under the Kava IP (as defined in SCHEDULE 2.1), and all

non-provisionals, divisionals, continuations, continuations-in-part and

all patents issuing on any of the foregoing, and all foreign counterparts

thereof; together with all registrations, reissues, re-examinations,

supplemental protection certificates and extensions thereof and all

foreign counterparts thereof. In the event that Buyer commences a Phase

III (or other pivotal) clinical trial for a drug candidate, the

manufacture, use of sale of which does not infringe one or more Valid

Claims of the Kava Patents at the time of the commencement of such

clinical trial but the manufacture, use or sale of which later infringes

one or more Valid Claims of the Kava Patents, then Buyer shall make such

one-time only payment under this subsection (i) of Section 2.5(a) within

sixty (60) days of the drug candidate becoming a Kava Drug Candidate under

this Agreement; and

(ii) to SinglePixel, or any of its assignees, [*] payable in

either cash or shares of the Buyer's Common Stock (at the discretion of

the Buyer and, if such payment is in Common Stock, valued at the then

current fair market value of the Common Stock) in a single payment by wire

transfer or delivery of shares of Common Stock to an account designated in

writing by SinglePixel, or any of its assignees, to Buyer within sixty

(60) days of the receipt by Buyer of approval by the Federal Drug

Administration of any SinglePixel diagnostic product, the

6

<Page>

manufacture, use or sale of which infringes one or more Valid Claims of the

SinglePixel Patents (a "SinglePixel Product"). For purposes of this

Agreement, "SinglePixel Patents" shall mean any and all patent filings

assigned to SinglePixel or to which SinglePixel has or will have any right,

title or interest, including the issued patents and pending patent

applications identified under the SinglePixel IP (as defined in SCHEDULE

2.1), and all non-provisionals, divisionals, continuations,

continuations-in-part and all patents issuing on any of the foregoing, and

all foreign counterparts thereof; together with all registrations,

reissues, re-examinations, supplemental protection certificates and

extensions thereof. In the event that Buyer receives approval by the

Federal Drug Administration of any SinglePixel diagnostic product, the

manufacture, use or sale of which does not infringes one or more Valid

Claims of the SinglePixel Patents at the time of receipt of such approval

but the manufacture, use or sale of which later infringes one or more Valid

Claims of the SinglePixel Patents, then Buyer shall make such one-time only

payment under this subsection (ii) of Section 2.5(a) within sixty (60) days

of the SinglePixel diagnostic product becoming a SinglePixel Product under

this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term "diagnostic

product" means any product which is intended to predict, detect or identify

a disease, determine the presence of a pathologic condition or monitor the

course of disease or therapy in humans or other animals.

(b) ROYALTIES FOR CERTAIN PATENTS. In the event that Buyer

obtains revenue or other measurable economic benefit ("Gross Revenues") from

products or services covered by a Valid Claim in any Kava Patent or CG Patent

(the "Kava Products", and the "CG Products", respectively), Buyer shall pay

to Kava or CG, or any of their assignees, as the case may be, a percentage of

the Gross Revenues received by Buyer or such licensee from sales of such Kava

Product or CG Product as follows: (i) [*]% of Gross Revenues of the Kava

Product, and (ii) [*]% of Gross Revenues of the CG Product. The amount of

such Gross Revenues shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect the

exclusion of the contribution of ingredients or components not directly

related to the Kava Product and/or CG Product, but in no case less than [*]%

of the rates specified above. Any payments by Buyer pursuant to this

subsection shall be made by cash or check within ninety (90) days of the end

of each fiscal year of Buyer in which any applicable sale is made. The

obligations under this section shall continue on a country-by-country basis

until the later of (1) the expiration date, as such date may be modified or

extended, of the last-to-expire patent of the relevant Kava IP or CG IP (as

the case may be) in such country, or (2) ten (10) years from first commercial

sale of the Kava Product or CG Product. For purposes of this Section 2.5, "CG

Patents" shall mean any and all patent filings assigned to CG or to which CG

has or will have any right, title or interest, including the issued patents

and pending patent applications identified under the CG IP (as defined in

SCHEDULE 2.1), and all non-provisionals, divisionals, continuations,

continuations-in-part; and all patents issuing on any of the foregoing, and

all foreign counterparts thereof; together with all registrations, reissues,

re-examinations, supplemental protection certificates and extensions thereof.

(c) THIRD PARTY ROYALTY OFFSET. In the event that in any royalty

period, Buyer, in order to sell any Kava Product or CG Product in any country,

makes royalty payments to one or more third parties ("Third Party Payments") as

consideration for a license to an issued patent or patents owned by such third

party(ies), in the absence of which the Kava Product or CG Product could not

legally be made, used or sold in such country, then Buyer shall have the right

7

<Page>

to reduce the royalties otherwise due pursuant to Section 2.5(b) above for

such Kava Product or CG Product by [*]% of such Third Party Payments.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such reductions under this subsection (c)

shall in no event reduce such royalty for such Kava Product or CG Product in

any such country to less than [*]% of the rates otherwise specified above.

2.6 ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price shall be allocated

among the Purchased Assets and the covenants not to compete received from the

Sellers and the Stockholder as set forth in SCHEDULE 2.6 attached hereto. The

Sellers and Buyer shall be bound by such allocation for all purposes and to

account for and report the purchase and sale contemplated hereby for all

financial, accounting and Tax purposes in accordance with such allocation.

2.7 TIME AND PLACE OF CLOSING. The closing of the transactions described

in Sections 2.1 through 2.6 above (the "Closing") shall take place at the

offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., at 11:00 a.m. on

January 9, 2004, or at such other place or time as the parties hereto may agree.

The date and time at which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred

to as the "Closing Date."

2.8 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS OF TITLE BY THE SELLERS. At the

Closing, each Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer the form of Bill of Sale

attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and such deeds, conveyances, bills of sale,

certificates of title, assignments, assurances and other instruments and

documents as Buyer may reasonably request in order to effect the sale,

conveyance, and transfer of the Purchased Assets from the Sellers to the Buyer.

Such instruments and documents shall be sufficient to convey to Buyer good and

merchantable title in all of the Purchased Assets. Each Seller will, from time

to time after the Closing Date, take such additional actions and execute and

deliver such further documents as Buyer may reasonably request in order more

effectively to sell, transfer and convey the Purchased Assets to Buyer and to

place Buyer in position to operate and control all of the Purchased Assets.

2.9 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS BY BUYER. At the Closing, Buyer

shall execute and deliver to each Seller an Instrument of Assumption in the form

attached hereto as EXHIBIT B, and such other documents as the Sellers may

reasonably request in order to evidence Buyer's assumption of the Assumed

Liabilities. Buyer will, from time to time after the Closing Date, take such

additional action and deliver such further documents as the Sellers may

reasonably request in order effectively to assume the Assumed Liabilities.

2.10 CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT. Upon the terms, and subject to the conditions

set forth in this Agreement, each Seller hereby assigns to the Buyer all of the

Purchased Assets which are capable of assignment without the consent of other

parties.

Insofar as any Purchased Asset is not assignable to the Buyer without the

agreement of or novation by or consent to the assignment from another party and

no such agreement, novation or consent has been obtained by such Seller on or

prior to Closing Date, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or

attempted assignment if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute

a breach of Seller's obligations related to such Purchased Asset. In the event

that consent or novation is required to such assignment:

8

<Page>

(a) the Seller shall use all reasonable endeavors to cooperate with

the Buyer in its efforts to procure such novation or assignment as aforesaid.

The reasonable costs of any such novation or assignment shall be paid by the

Buyer;

(b) unless and until any such Purchased Asset shall be novated or

assigned as aforesaid the Seller shall hold such Purchased Asset and any moneys,

goods or other benefits received thereunder as agent of the Buyer and the Buyer

shall (if such sub-contracting is permissible and lawful under such Purchased

Asset in question) as the Seller's sub-contractor perform all the obligations of

the Seller under such Purchased Asset;

(c) unless and until any such Purchased Asset shall be novated or

assigned, the Seller will (so far as it lawfully may) give such assistance to

the Buyer (and at the Buyer's cost) as the Buyer may reasonably require to

enable the Buyer to enforce its rights under such Purchased Asset and (without

limitation) will provide access to all relevant books, documents and other

information in relation to such Purchased Asset as the Buyer may reasonably

require from time to time.
