Exhibit 10.17


 


INVESTMENT AGREEMENT


 


This Investment Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made and entered as of May 30, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) by and between
Lightlake Therapeutics Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Potomac Construction Limited (the “Investor”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company is developing a
naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray for the emergency reversal of heroin or opioid overdose, which naloxone hydrochloride nasal
spray is expected to enter into an initial trial during H1 2013 that is being sponsored by the National Institutes of Health
(the “Product”);


 


WHEREAS, the Investor
has agreed to invest Fifty Thousand Dollars (US$50,000.00) to fund the research, development, marketing, and any other commercialization
activities connected to the Product (the “Investment”) with the option to invest an additional One Hundred Thousand
Dollars until July 10, 2013 (US$100,000.00) (the “Optional Investment”); and


 


WHEREAS, the Company
has agreed to assign the Investor the right to receive a certain amount of the financial return produced by the Product;


 


NOW THEREFORE, with
reference to the foregoing facts, the Company and the Investor agree as follows:


 


		1.	Interest Assignment.



 


1.1         In connection with
the Investment, the Company hereby agrees to assign the Investor the right to receive, pro rata, a one-half percent (0.5%) of the
net profit generated from the Product in perpetuity from the Effective Date (the “Interest”). If the Investor
exercises the option to fund the Optional Investment, then the Company shall assign the Investor an additional right to receive,
pro rata, one percent (1%) of the net profit generated from the Product in perpetuity from the date the Optional Investment is
delivered to the Company (the “Additional Interest”). “Net profit” shall be defined as the pre-tax
profits generated from the Product after the deduction of all expenses incurred by and payments made by the Company in connection
with the Product, including but not limited to an allocation of Company overhead based on the proportionate time, expenses and
resources devoted by Company to Product-related activities, which allocation shall be determined in good faith by the Company (the
“Net Profit”).


 


		2.	Net Profit Audits, Updates, Distributions and Other Transactions.



 


2.1         The Company shall
provide the Investor with an annual audit of Net Profits (the “Audit”), which Audit shall be completed after
the end of each calendar year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Paragraph 2.1 shall not be applicable until the Product
generates Net Profit.


 


2.2         After the end of
each quarter of the calendar year, the Company shall provide the Investor with a written or electronic update with respect to the
status of the Product. If the Product generates Net Profit, then the Company shall also provide the Investor with a written or
electronic statement of the estimated Net Profit represented by the Interest.


 


2.3         After the end of
each of the first three quarters of the calendar year, the Company shall distribute to the Investor eighty percent (80%) of such
calendar quarter’s Net Profits represented by the Interest and Additional Interest, if applicable, which amount shall be
estimated in good faith by the Company. Upon the completion of the Audit for such calendar year, the Company shall distribute to
the Investor the Net Profits represented by the Interest and Additional Interest, if applicable, for the fourth quarter of the
calendar year. In the event that the Audit for such calendar year determines the Net Profits represented by the Interest and Additional
Interest, if applicable, for the first three quarters of the calendar year (the “Audited NP”) to be greater
than the estimated Net Profits represented by the Interest and Applicable Interest, if applicable, actually paid to the Investor
for the first three calendar quarters (the “Estimated NP”), then the Company shall distribute to the Investor
the difference between the Audited NP and the Estimated NP. In the event that the Audit for such calendar year determines the Audited
NP to be less than the Estimated NP, then the Company shall deduct the difference between the Estimated NP and the Audited NP from
the distribution for the fourth quarter of such calendar year and, if required, each following distribution until such amount is
fully deducted.


 






    	 	 	 



     


    

 


2.4         In the event that
the Product is sold by the Company, then the Investor shall receive one-half percent (0.5%) of the net proceeds of such sale, pro
rata, and in the form of such net proceeds, after the deduction of all expenses and costs related to such sale, and if the Optional
Investment is delivered to the Company, then the Investor shall receive an additional one percent (1%) of such amount. In the event
that the Company is sold, then the Company shall engage an independent financial or accounting firm to determine the fair value
of the Company which is directly attributable to the Product and the Investor shall receive one-half percent (0.5%) of such amount
after the deduction of all expenses and costs related to such sale, and if the Optional Investment is delivered to the Company,
then the Investor shall receive an additional one percent (1%) of such amount. All other material transactions involving the Product
not addressed herein shall be addressed in good faith by the Company and the Investor.


 


		3.	Option to Exchange Interest for Common Stock.



 


3.1         If the Product is
not introduced to the market within twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, then the Investor shall have the option to
(a) receive six hundred and twenty-five thousand (625,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the “Shares”) in lieu of the Interest (the “Option”) and (b) if the Investor delivers the
Optional Investment, then the Investor shall have the option to receive an additional one million two hundred and fifty thousand
(1,250,000) shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of the Additional Interest (the “Additional Option”
and together with the Option, the “Options”).


 


3.2         In the event that
Product is not approved for marketing within twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, then the Investor shall have sixty
(60) calendar days to provide written notice that the Investor intends to exercise the Options. The Investor shall waive their
rights to the Options if the Investor fails to provide sixty (60) calendar days written notice to the Company. If the Investor
exercises the Options, then the Investor shall waive all rights to the Interest and Additional Interest and receive fully paid
and non-assessable Shares. The Investor shall exercise the Options simultaneously.
