Section 4 — Costs to Deliver DD Promotion

All costs incurred by DD to deploy its services to promote MOXATAG to DD Target Segment Prescribers will be the  responsibility of DD, except as provided in Section 6.

Section 5 — Up-Front Payment, Deposit and Promotion Fees

5.1. MBRK will pay DD an Up-Front Payment of $50,000 upon execution of this Agreement.

5.2. Additionally, MBRK shall pay a Deposit to DD equal to $100,000 upon the Promotion Commencement Date. Each  month the Parties will review the amount of the Deposit and where necessary MBRK will make an additional deposit  payment to DD in order to maintain a total Deposit with DD of at least two (2) times the current month's Promotion  Fees. For example, if in a month Promotion Fees are $105,000, then MBRK will increase the Deposit to two (2) times  $105,000, equal to $210,000. The Parties agree to meet via conference call within five (5) business days of the end of  each month to determine the necessary adjustment, if any, to the Deposit. If it is determined that the Deposit must be  increased, within ten (10) business days of the date upon which the new Deposit is determined, MBRK shall send to  DD the funds necessary to increase the Deposit. Notwithstanding the above, if during years 2 and 3 of this Agreement,  in the event MBRK's then current annual form 10-K filed with the SEC does not contain an audit opinion that expresses  doubt about MBRK's ability to continue as a going concern, then MBRK's requirement to maintain a Deposit is waived.  In all cases the Deposit amount will be used to settle any outstanding amounts due to DD by MBRK at the end of the  Agreement or at the time the Deposit requirement is waived.

5.3. Additionally, on or before the last day of each month, DD will invoice MBRK for the Promotion Fees due for the prior  month. Such Promotion Fees shall be calculated by:

(a) the following formula for the period from the Effective Date through September 30, 2010:

For example: if during the month of March 2010 (a) (A) above was 2,000 TRx and (B) above was $36.50 then MBRK  would be remit $36,500.00 to DD.

OR

(b) the following formula for the period from October 1, 2010 through termination of this Agreement:

  (A)   the Actual DD Target Segment MOXATAG TRx for the Promotional Measurement Period multiplied by:      (B)   the applicable Gross Margin Per TRx multiplied by:      (C)   50%.

  (A)   the Actual DD Target Segment MOXATAG TRx Tablets for the Promotional Measurement Period multiplied by:      (B)   the applicable Gross Margin Per Tablet multiplied by:      (C)   50%.







For example: if during the month of November 2010:

MBRK would remit $89,425.00 to DD:

These Promotion Fees represent fair market value payment for such services rendered.

The Parties recognize that Promotion Fees are to be settled on a monthly basis which requires the use of an estimated  Gross Margin Per Tablet amount until the actual Gross Margin Per Tablet for an applicable quarter can be determined.  Accordingly, to facilitate the calculation and settlement of monthly Promotion Fees for periods after September 2010,  the Parties agree that the Gross Margin Per Tablet used to settle the monthly Promotion Fees will be that as calculated  using the previous calendar quarter's Gross Margin Per Tablet data and current period's Actual DD Target Segment MOXATAG TRx. Such Promotion Fees for the three months in any calendar quarter will be subject to a true-up process  which will occur by the 15th of the second month of the following quarter. By way of example, Promotion Fees for each  of the months of April, May and June will be settled using the Gross Margin Per Tablet amount that has been calculated  for the quarter ended March 31 and will be subject to a true-up process to occur by August 15 with any adjustment to  such Promotion Fees being settled between the parties within 15 days thereafter.

5.4 In the event MBRK shall discontinue detailing prescribers in a territory that is not included in the then current DD  Target Segment Prescribers set forth in EXHIBIT 1 to this Agreement or any amendments thereto (New DD Target  Segment Prescribers), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the Promotion Fee payable to DD should MBRK desire  that DD add those New DD Target Segment Prescribers to the DD Target Segment Prescribers.

5.5. The Promotion Fees shall be paid to DD by MBRK fifteen (15) days after the receipt of an invoice from DD by  MBRK.

5. 6. The basis for determining the Promotion Fees will be the Prescriber Data provided by MBRK to DD.

5.7. DD agrees to submit invoices to MBRK at the following address:

Attn: Accounts Payable  MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  7 Village Circle, Suite 100  Westlake, TX 76262

  (A)=  Actual DD Target Segment MOXATAG TRx (5,000) x an average tablet amount for the month of (9.8 tablets)=  49,000      (B)=  3.65      (C)=  50%







Section 6 — Obligations of MBRK

6.1. Subject to the terms of confidentiality set forth in Section 10, MBRK agrees to make available to DD to the best of  its ability the items as stipulated in EXHIBIT 2.
