    3.            
      Confidentiality.
      Consultant hereby covenants and agrees that, during and after the Term of this
      Agreement, he will not communicate, disclose or otherwise make available to
      any
      person or entity (other than the Company), or use for his own account or for
      the
      benefit of any other person or entity, any information or materials proprietary
      to the Company that relate to the Company’s business or affairs which is of a
      confidential nature, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, information
      or materials relating to existing or proposed pharmaceutical products (in all
      and various stages of development), “know-how”, marketing techniques and
      materials, marketing and development plans, personnel information and financial
      information (collectively, “Proprietary Information”). Proprietary Information
      includes any and all such information and materials, whether or not obtained
      by
      Consultant with the knowledge and permission of the Company, whether or not
      developed, devised or otherwise created in whole or in part by Consultant’s
      efforts, and whether or not a matter of public knowledge unless as a result
      of
      authorized disclosure. Consultant further covenants and agrees that he will
      retain such knowledge and information which he acquires and develops during
      the
      Term respecting such Proprietary Information in trust for the sole and exclusive
      benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

    


    Consultant
      acknowledges that (a) the Proprietary Information was developed at great expense
      to the Company and that the Proprietary Information is critical to the condition
      (financial or otherwise) and competitive survival of the Company, and (b) a
      violation of any of the provisions of this Section 3 could result in irreparable
      injury to the Company; and, therefore, Consultant agrees that the Company shall
      be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance,
      in the event of any breach of any of the provisions of this Section 3, in
      addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity.
      

     

    4.            
      Duties
      and Outside Activities. The
      Company and the Consultant acknowledge and agree that Consultant shall be acting
      as an independent contractor only in performing the Services and not as an
      employee, agent or joint venturer of or with the Company, and shall have no
      authority to obligate or bind the Company. Consultant agrees not to expressly
      or
      impliedly represent himself as an officer, director, employee, agent or
      representative of the Company with the power or authority to negotiate on behalf
      of, or to obligate or bind, the Company. The parties acknowledge that, except
      as
      otherwise agreed to by Consultant and the Company, any taxes that may be due
      and
      owing with respect to the compensation to Consultant hereunder shall be the
      sole
      responsibility of Consultant.

    


    Consultant
      hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) this Agreement
      constitutes Consultant’s legal and binding obligation, enforceable against him
      in accordance with its terms, (b) his execution and performance of this
      Agreement does not and will not breach any other agreement, arrangements,
      understanding, obligation of confidentiality, employment relationship to which
      he is a party or by which he is bound or any law, rule or regulation, and (c)
      during the Term, he will not enter into any agreement, either written or oral,
      in conflict with this Agreement or his obligations hereunder.

      event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid,
      illegal, or unenforceable in any circumstances, the remaining provisions shall
      nevertheless remain in full force and effect and shall be construed as if the
      unenforceable portion or portions were deleted.

      Assignment.

      Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
      their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor
      any of the obligations of the parties hereunder may be directly or indirectly
      assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent
      of
      the other parties hereto. Any attempt by any party to assign or delegate any
      rights, duties or obligations which may arise under this Agreement without
      the
      prior written consent of the other party shall be void.
