2.   PRICE, RETURNS, PURCHASE OBLIGATIONS, PRODUCT SUPPLY

     2.1  The supply price of the Products,  except for samples, to EuP shall be
          as outlined below;

          (a)  PNT controllers at  [CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION  OMITTED AND FILED
               SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION] per controller.

          (b)  PNT  rings  at  [CONFIDENTIAL   INFORMATION   OMITTED  AND  FILED
               SEPARATELY  WITH THE  COMMISSION]  per single ring  packaged in a
               sterile  sachet.  Rings will be  provided  to EuP in units of 100
               sterile sachets/carton.

          (c)  CI will arrange for shipment of product from their  manufacturing
               facility to EuP's  warehouse.  The cost of  shipping  the product
               from  CI's  distribution  facility  to  EuP's  central  receiving
               facility in Italy will be the responsibility of CI.

          (d)  The  above  supply  prices  will be fixed  until  December  2007.
               Beginning in January 2008 CI can adjust the supply price based on
               a  reported  U.S.   manufacturing   inflation  index,  with  such
               adjustment using 2003 as the base year.

          (e)  The above pricing reflects the current controller and ring design
               and manufacturing  processes. In the event the United States Food
               and Drug  Administration  (USFDA) or any other governmental heath

<PAGE>

               authority  (HA)  requires  modifications  to the  PNT  controller
               and/or  ring  in  order  to  allow  continuing  sale  within  the
               Territory  which would lead to an  increase in the  manufacturing
               costs to CI of more than 10%,  the Parties  agree to  negotiate a
               new supply price.

     2.2  EuP will have the following minimum purchase requirements

          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
          March 2004 to December 2005                   * per month
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
          January 2006 to December 2006                 * per month
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
          January 2007 to December 2007                 * per month
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
          *  [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
             COMMISSION]

     2.3  Terms of payment shall be AS FOLLOWS:

          2.3.1  Minimum Purchase Obligations  -  Payment  due upon  receipt  of
          merchandise by EuP. Anticipated delivery to commence on March 1, 2004.

          2.3.2  Additional Controllers  Purchased  in  Excess  of  the  Monthly
          Minimum - Payment net 30 days upon receipt of merchandise by EuP.

          2.3.3  PNT Rings - Payment for quantities above any  minimum  purchase
          obligations net 60 days upon receipt by EuP.

     2.4  EuP shall make the payments described herein by bank wire transfer per
          instructions  to be provided by CI. Time shall be of the essence  with
          respect to the payment monies by EuP pursuant to this Agreement.

     2.5  CI  will  provide  to  EuP,  free  of  charge,   up  to  [CONFIDENTIAL
          INFORMATION  OMITTED AND FILED  SEPARATELY  WITH THE  COMMISSION]  PNT
          controllers,  along with [CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION  OMITTED AND FILED
          SEPARATELY  WITH THE  COMMISSION]  rings per  controller  (the starter
          packs) in order to  accelerate  the  introduction  and adoption of PNT
          within the Territory.  Delivery of the controllers and rings described
          under this subsection will be agreed to by the Parties.  The intent is
          to provide  devices to key opinion  leaders within the Territory,  who
          are not involved in the EuP Clinical  Trial (see Section 8 below),  so
          as to  allow  them to gain  experience  with  PNT.  EuP  will not sell
          materials which are provided to them free of charge.

     2.6  EuP may  return  goods,  including  vacuum  units  which  may  require
          service,  to CI only in accordance with CI's published  returned goods
          policy. Used rings cannot be returned to CI

     2.7  CI will be responsible for the production,  including  sourcing of raw
          materials,  for all  commercial  and clinical  supplies.  All Products
          shipped to EuP will be in  compliance  with  relevant  regulatory  and
          governmental requirements,  including compliance with the requirements
          of an EU 2a  device  classification  and will have  sufficient  expiry
          dating to allow for distribution through normal distribution channels.
          This  manufacturing  obligation  will expire upon  termination of this
          Agreement.

received from an express mail carrier.

5.   FORCE MAJEURE

     Neither party hereto will be liable to the other for its failure to perform
hereunder due to act of God,  accident,  fire,  flood,  storm,  riot,  sabotage,
explosion, strike, labor disturbance, national defense requirement, governmental
law,  ordinance,   rule  or  regulation,   whether  valid  or  invalid,  defense
requirement,  governmental law, ordinance, rule or regulation,  whether valid or
invalid, inability to obtain electricity or other type of energy, raw materials,
labor,  equipment  or  transportation,  or  any  other  contingency  beyond  its
reasonable control which would make performance commercially  impracticable.  In
the event of a shortage  of  Products,  CI reserves  the right to  allocate  its
inventory of Products as it may determine in its sole discretion.

6.   TRADEMARKS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

     6.1  CI will be responsible for registering and maintaining all Patents and
          Trademark(s) relating to the Products in the Territory at CI's costs.

     6.2  By virtue of the Agreement and EuP's performance hereunder,  EuP shall
          acquire no interest in CI trademarks or corporate names, label designs
          or other identifying  marks used to distinguish CI's Products.  Except
          for undertaking  such activities as are directly  related to promoting
          the sale of the Product under this  Agreement,  EuP shall not make use
          of the name CI, or make use of any  trademark  or trade  name which in


Page 4  EuPharmed Distribution Agreement   9 September 2003

<PAGE>

          the judgment of CI is confusingly  similar thereto without the written
          consent of CI.

     6.3  The Parties will use their best  efforts to discover any  infringement
          of any Patent,  Trademark or corporate name of Coronado Industries and
          will promptly  notify each other of any such  infringement or wrongful
          use.  Any  Proprietary  Information  provided  shall be and remain the
          property of CI, and CI will impose any conditions with respect thereto
          which it deems  reasonably  necessary  to  preserve  the  confidential
          nature thereof. EuP will retain all Proprietary  Information in strict
          confidence as trade secrets of CI and will not disclose, or permit any
          employee or agent of EuP to disclose,  any Proprietary  Information to
          anyone without the prior written  approval of CI,  provided,  however,
          that  such  disclosure  may be made to any  employee  of EuP who has a
          reasonable need for access thereto. For the purpose of this Agreement,
          the term "Proprietary Information" shall mean all formulae, processes,
          and other information  relating to the distribution,  sale, and use of
          any Product  which has been or may  hereafter  be furnished to EuP and
          which would not be  available  to the general  public  otherwise  than
          through violation of this Agreement.

     6.4  Upon the expiration or prior  termination of this Agreement,  EuP will
          exercise  all  necessary  precautions  to  safeguard  the  secrecy  of
          Proprietary  Information  and to prevent the  unauthorized  disclosure
          thereof,  EuP will consult CI as to the  procedures  established by it
          for this  purpose  and will from  time to time,  if  requested  by CI,
          advise CI of the procedures which it then has in effect.

7.   REGISTRATIONS AND HEALTH AUTHORITY INTERACTIONS

     7.1  CI will be responsible for all  interactions  with the relevant Health
          Authorities  (HA's)  and  will  bear  the  costs  associated  with the
          registration(s) in the Territory.

     7.2  EuP, as reasonably  requested by CI, will assist and provide expertise
          as required in dealing with the relevant HA's in the Territory.

     7.3  CI and EuP agree that a Type 2a device  classification  is required to
          allow the sale of the Products in the  Territory.  CI agrees to supply
          EuP with Products meeting this classification.

8.   EUPHARMED CLINICAL TRIAL ("ECT")

     8.1  EuP will conduct a one (1) year, prospective, randomized trial of PNT,
          involving  five (5) to seven (7)  centers  in Italy  and a minimum  of
          one-hundred  and  twenty  (120)  patients,  with the  intent  being to
          further  demonstrate  the long-term  efficacy and safety of PNT in the
          agreed upon glaucoma population (the "ECT").

     8.2  As   partial    consideration   for   being   granted   an   exclusive
          distributorship within the Territory,  EuP will be responsible for all
          costs,  except the costs of the controllers and PNT rings,  associated
          with conducting the ECT in the Territory.

     8.3  EuP will consult with CI on the design of the ECT.


Page 5  EuPharmed Distribution Agreement   9 September 2003

<PAGE>

     8.4  EuP  will  own the  clinical  trial  data  generated  as a  result  of
          performing the ECT, but will allow CI to utilize the data to assist in
          registrations   both  within  and  outside  the   Territory   and  for
          discussions with other potential distributors. The clinical trial data
          generated  by the ECT  will be  provided  to CI,  in  compliance  with
          Italian and European clinical trial regulations, on a quarterly basis.
          All reports will comply with all applicable  European and Italian laws
          concerning Privacy

     8.5  CI will supply to EuP,  free of charge,  a sufficient  quantity of PNT
          controllers and rings to perform the ECT.

     8.6  EuP  agrees  to use  best  efforts  to  initiate  the  ECT,  including
          recruitment  of  investigators,   protocol   preparation  and  patient
          enrollment.  The  current  planning  envisions  an  ECT  Investigators
          Meeting during the second half of September,  2003, which will then be
          immediately followed by submission of the ECT protocol to the relevant
          Ethics Committees and/or  Institutional  Review Boards for approval to
          allow initiation of the ECT.

     8.7  In the event the results of the ECT  demonstrate  a  reduction  in the
          intraocular  pressure of less than 2 mm of Hg, the Parties  will agree
          to negotiate in good faith and revise this Agreement accordingly.

     8.8  Coronado will make available, if necessary,  either Dr. Leo Bores, Dr.
          John  LiVeccia  or  another  physician  with  suitable  experience  in
          performing the PNT treatment to train the study physicians.

9.   TERM AND TERMINATON

     9.1  The term of this  Agreement  shall be for a period  of five (5)  years
          from the date first above  written.  EuPharmed may extend the term for
          an  additional  two (2) years by  agreeing  to a minimum  purchase  of
          [CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION  OMITTED  AND  FILED  SEPARATELY  WITH  THE
          COMMISSION]  in year six (6) and seven (7).  Following  the  initial 7
          year  term  outlined  above,  this  Agreement  will  be  automatically
          renewable on an annual basis, unless either Party notifies the other 6
          months  prior  to  expiration  of the  initial  term,  or each  annual
          extension, of their intention not to renew,

     9.2  This  Agreement  shall  immediately  terminate  upon ninety (90) days'
          notice if EuP assigns, transfers, or hypothecates this Agreement or if
          ownership  or control  of EuP is  transferred  to a third  party or if
          either Party is adjudged  bankrupt,  files or has filed against it any
          petition  under any  bankruptcy  or  insolvency  law,  has a  receiver
          appointed for its business or property,  or makes a general assignment
          for the benefit of its creditors.

     9.3  EuP hereby accords CI upon termination or expiration of this Agreement
          an option to repurchase from EuP all or any part of EuP's inventory of
          Products at the price paid therefore by EuP (the "Repurchase  Price"),
          pursuant to the following procedures:

          9.3.1 Within five (5) days after the  effective  date of  termination,
          EuP shall submit to CI a written schedule reflecting all Products then
          owned by or in EuP's  possession.  Said schedule  shall  identify each
          Product and shall indicate the quantity thereof on hand.


Page 6  EuPharmed Distribution Agreement   9 September 2003

<PAGE>

          9.3.2  Within ten (10) days after the receipt of such  schedule by CI,
          CI shall have the right to inspect  the  inventory  reflected  on such
          schedule.

          9.3.3 Within ten (10) days after completion of CI's inspection of said
          inventory,  CI shall give written notice of its election to repurchase
          all or any part of the inventory.

          9.3.4 Upon receipt of said notice of repurchase,  EuP shall  forthwith
          deliver  such  Products  as  may be  specified  therein  to a  carrier
          designated  by CI.  Payment  of the  Repurchase  Price as  hereinabove
          provided  shall be made by CI to EuP either by (1) the issuance to EuP
          of a credit corresponding to the Repurchase Price to be applied in the
          reduction  of any  indebtedness  of EuP to CI or by (2) payment of the
          excess  of the  Repurchase  Price  over any such  indebtedness  of EuP
          within ten (10) days after the delivery of said Products to CI.

     9.4  Upon   termination  or  expiration  of  this   Agreement,   EuP  shall
          immediately cease to represent itself as an authorized  distributor of
          CI with respect to the  Products;  provided,  however,  that EuP shall
          have the right to sell, only in accordance with the provisions of this
          Agreement  notwithstanding  the  termination  or  expiration  of  this
          Agreement,  those  Products  which are in its inventory on the date of
          such  termination  and which CI has not  repurchased  pursuant  to the
          provisions of Subsection 9.3 hereof.

     9.5  The  termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not release EuP
          from the obligation to pay any sum that may be owning to CI or operate
          to  discharge  any  liability  that had been  incurred by either Party
          prior to any such termination.

     9.6  Failure  by a Party to  comply  with any of its  material  obligations
          contained in this Agreement,  including  minimum  purchase and payment
          term obligations,  shall entitle the  non-defaulting  Party to give to
          the  defaulting  Party  written  notice  specifying  the nature of the
          default and requiring the defaulting  Party to make good such default.
          If such  default is not cured within sixty (60) days after the receipt
          of such  notice  (or,  if such  default is not  capable of being cured
          within such sixty (60) day  period,  within such amount of time as may
          be reasonably necessary to cure such breach, as long as the Defaulting
