received in an arms-length transaction, based on sales of like quantity and

         4.8 No multiple royalties shall be payable because the use, lease or
sale of any Licensed Product or Licensed Process is, or shall be, covered by
more than one valid and unexpired claim contained in the Patent Rights. In

based upon only one of paragraphs 4.3 or 4.4 above (that is, royalties on direct
sales of a Licensed Product or Licensed Process by the Company or its Affiliates
shall be based only on paragraph 4.3, while royalties on sales of a Licensed
Product or Licensed Process by the Company's sublicensees shall be based only on

(or, if sold to an Affiliate, the Fair Market Value of the Licensed Product) and
B is the total invoice price of the other products or technologies (or, if
purchased from an Affiliate, the Fair Market Value of the other products or
technologies). In the case of a combination product which includes one or more
Licensed Products, the Net Sales for such combination product upon which the
royalty due to the Licensor is based shall not be less than the normal aggregate
Net Sales for such Licensed Product.

         4.10 Royalty payments shall be paid in United States dollars in New
York, New York or at such other place as the Licensor may reasonably designate

required, by order or judgement of any court to obtain in any jurisdiction any
license from a third party in order to make, use or sell any Licensed Product or
Licensed Process, then up to fifty percent (50%) of the royalties payable
hereunder with respect to such Licensed Product or Licensed Process in such
jurisdiction may be deducted from royalties otherwise payable to the Licensor
hereunder, provided that in no event shall the aggregate royalties payable to
the Licensor in any semi-annual period in such jurisdiction be reduced by more
than fifty percent (50%) as a result of any such deduction, and provided further
that any excess deduction remaining as a result of such limitation may be
carried forward to subsequent periods.

                         ARTICLE 5 - REPORTS AND RECORDS

         5.1 The Company shall keep full, true and accurate books of account

account shall be kept at the Company's principal place of business and the
supporting data shall be open up to twice per year upon reasonable notice to the
Company, for three (3) years following the end of the calendar year to which
they pertain, for inspection by an auditor selected by the Licensor, except one
to whom the Company has reasonable objection, for the purpose of verifying the
Company's royalty statement or compliance in other respects with this License
Agreement. If an inspection shows an under reporting or underpayment in excess
of the greater of *** dollars ($***) or *** percent (***%) of royalties payable
for any twelve (12) month period, then the Company shall reimburse the Licensor
for the cost of the inspection at the time the Company pays the unreported

due.

such royalties due and payable. Subject to Article 8, upon the expiration of the
60-day period, if the Company shall not have paid all such royalties due and
payable, the rights, privileges and license granted hereunder shall, at the
option of the Licensor, immediately terminate.

         7.3 Upon any material breach or default of this License Agreement by
the Company, other than as set forth in Paragraphs 7.1 and 7.2 hereinabove, the
Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the rights,
privileges and license granted hereunder upon giving sixty (60) days notice to
the Company. Such grounds for termination include, but shall not be limited to,
the Licensor's reasonable determination that the Company is not using its
reasonable best efforts to develop the Ketamine Technology and keep Licensed
Products or Licensed Processes reasonably available to the public after
commercial use commences. Such termination shall become effective immediately
unless the Company shall have cured any such breach or default prior to the
expiration of the sixty (60) day period referred to above.

Agreement in whole or as to any portion of the Patent Rights by giving sixty

shall be construed to release either party from any obligation that matured

8, 9, 10, 15 and 16. The Company and/or any sublicensee thereof may, however, at
any time after the effective date of such termination and continuing for a
period not to exceed six (6) months thereafter, sell all completed Licensed
Products, and any Licensed Products in the process of manufacture at the time of
such termination, and sell the same, provided that the Company shall pay or
cause to be paid to the Licensor the royalties thereon as required by Article 4
of this License Agreement and shall submit the reports required by Article 5
hereof on the sales of Licensed Products.

the Company shall have no future rights to the Patent Rights and Know-how
granted hereunder, and shall make no further use thereof, including the
manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products or Licensed Processes, except as
otherwise set forth herein.

         8.1 Any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be
determined before a tribunal of three (3) arbitrators in New York, New York in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. One
arbitrator shall be selected by the Licensor, one arbitrator shall be selected
by the Company and the third arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of
the first two arbitrators.

enforceability, or infringement of any patent contained in the Patent Rights
licensed hereunder shall be resolved in court having jurisdiction thereof.

         8.3 In the event that, in any arbitration proceeding, any issue shall
arise concerning the validity, enforceability, or infringement of any patent
contained in the Patent Rights licensed hereunder, the arbitrators shall, to the
extent possible, resolve all issues other than validity, enforceability, and
infringement; in any event, the arbitrators shall not delay the arbitration
proceeding for the purpose of obtaining or permitting either party to obtain
judicial resolution of such issues, unless an order staying the arbitration
proceeding shall be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party
shall raise any issue concerning the validity, enforceability, or infringement
of any patent contained in the Patent Rights licensed hereunder, in any
proceeding to enforce any arbitration award hereunder, or in any proceeding
otherwise arising out of any such arbitration award.

                                      -19-

         8.4 The costs of such arbitration shall be borne proportionate to the
finding of fault as determined by the Arbitrator. Judgment on the arbitration
award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.

                   ARTICLE 9 - INFRINGEMENT AND OTHER ACTIONS

         9.1 The Company and the Licensor shall promptly provide written notice,
to the other party, of any alleged infringement by a third party of the Patent
Rights and provide such other party with any available evidence of such
infringement.

         9.2 During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to prosecute and/or defend, at its own expense
and utilizing counsel of its choice, any infringement of, and/or challenge to,
the Patent Rights. In furtherance of such right, the Licensor hereby agrees that
the Company may join the Licensor as a party in any such suit, without expense
to the Licensor. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final
disposition of any such suit which would adversely affect the rights of the
Licensor may be entered into without the consent of the Licensor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall indemnify and hold the
Licensor harmless against any costs, expenses or liability that may be found or
assessed against the Licensor in any such suit other than resulting from the
Licensor's gross negligence, recklessness or wilful misconduct.

         9.3 In the event that a claim or suit is asserted or brought against
the Company alleging that the manufacture or sale of any Licensed Product by the
Company, an Affiliate of the Company, or any sublicensee, or the use of such
Licensed Product by any customer of any of the foregoing, infringes proprietary
rights of a third party, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the
Licensor. The Company may, in its sole discretion, modify such Licensed Product
to avoid such infringement and/or may settle on terms that it deems advisable in
its sole discretion, subject to paragraph 9.2. Otherwise, the Company shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to defend any such claim or suit. In the
event the Company elects not to defend such suit, the Licensor shall have the
right, but not the obligation to do so at its sole expense.

         9.4 Any recovery of damages by the Company, in any such suit, shall be
applied first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of the
Company relating to the suit and then to the Licensor for any royalties credited
in accordance with paragraph 9.4. The balance remaining from any such recovery
shall be treated as royalties received by the Company from sublicensees and
shared by the Licensor and the Company eighty percent (80%) to the Company and
twenty percent (20%) to the Licensor.

         9.5 The Company may credit up to fifty percent (50%) of any reasonable
litigation costs incurred by the Company in any country pursuant to this Article
9 and up to 50% of all amounts paid in judgement or settlement of litigation
within this Article 9 scope of against royalties thereafter payable to the
Licensor hereunder for such country and apply the same toward one-half of its
actual, reasonable out-of-pocket litigation costs. If one-half of such
litigation costs in such country exceeds 50% of royalties payable to the
Licensor in any year in which such costs are incurred than the amount of such
costs, expenses and amounts paid in judgement or settlement, in excess of such
50% of the royalties payable shall be carried over and credited against royalty
payments in future years for such country.

         9.6 If within ninety (90) days from receipt of notice by the Company of
any alleged infringement, the Company shall have been unsuccessful in persuading
the alleged infringer to desist, or shall not have brought and shall not be
diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or if the Company shall notify
the Licensor, at any time prior thereto, of its intention not to bring suit
against the alleged infringer, then, and in those events only, the Licensor
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute, at its own expense
and utilizing counsel of its choice, any infringement of the Patent Rights, and
the Licensor may, for such purposes, join the Company as a party plaintiff. The
total cost of any such infringement action commenced solely by the Licensor
shall be borne by the Licensor and the Licensor shall keep any recovery or
damages for infringement or otherwise derived therefrom and such shall not be
applicable to any royalty obligation of the Company.

         9.7 In any suit to enforce and/or defend the Patent Rights pursuant to
this License Agreement, the party not in control of such suit shall, at the
request and expense of the controlling party, cooperate in all respects and, to
the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make
available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the
like.

                 ARTICLE 10 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INDEMNITY

         10.1 Other than as set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Licensor, by this
License Agreement, makes no representations or warranties as to the validity
and/or breadth of the inventions contained in the Patent Rights and the Company
so acknowledges. Other than as set forth in Article 2, the Licensor, by this
License Agreement makes no representations or warranties as to patents now held
or which will be held by others in the field of the Licensed Products and/or
Licensed Processes for a particular purpose.

         10.2 EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE LICENSOR DOES NOT
MAKE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR
WRITTEN, AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

         10.3 The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Licensor
harmless from and against all liability, demands, damages, including without
limitation, expenses or losses including death, personal injury, illness or
property damage (each a "Claim") arising directly or indirectly: (a) out of use
by the Company or its transferees of inventions licensed or information
furnished under this License Agreement or (b) out of any use, sale or other
disposition by the Company or its transferees of Patent Rights, Licensed
Products or Licensed Processes, except to the extent, in each such case, that
such Claim results from or arises out of the Licensor's gross negligence,
recklessness or wilful misconduct. The Company agrees that any sublicense
agreement it enters relative to the Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes
shall contain a covenant by such sublicensee providing for the indemnification
of the Licensor as provided in this Article.

         10.4 (a) The Company shall obtain and carry in full force and effect
commercial, general liability insurance, at such time when the Company has
developed Licensed Products for sale, which shall protect the Company and the
Licensor with respect to events covered by paragraph 10.3 above. Such insurance
shall be written by a reputable insurance company, shall list the Licensor as an
additional named insured thereunder, shall be endorsed to include product
liability coverage and shall require thirty (30) days written notice to be given
to the Licensor prior to any cancellation or material change thereof. The limits
of such insurance shall not be less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per
occurrence with an aggregate of five million dollars ($5,000,000) for personal
injury or death, and one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence with an
aggregate of three million dollars ($3,000,000) for property damage. The Company
shall provide the Licensor with Certificates of Insurance evidencing the same.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the requirements of this
paragraph 10.4 are not consistent with general industry norms or good business
practices at the time, the Licensor agrees to negotiate in good faith to modify
this paragraph 10.4; provided, however, that if the Company, using good-faith
reasonable efforts, cannot obtain the insurance required by this paragraph 10.4
at rates that are prudent given the Company's financial position as determined
by the Board of Directors of the Company at the time such insurance is required
then the Licensor agrees to waive the requirements of this paragraph 10.4 until
a determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that the Company's
financial position permits it to obtain the insurance required by this paragraph
10.4.

assigned by either party without first obtaining the written consent of the
other, which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such purported

other promotional activities any name, trade name, trademark, or other
designation of the Licensor or any of its units (including contraction,
abbreviation or simulation of any of the foregoing) without the prior, written
consent of the Licensor; provided, however, that the Licensor acknowledges and
agrees that the Company may use the name of the Licensor in various documents
used by the Company for capital raising and financing without such prior written
consent where the use of such names may be required by law. The Company agrees
to promptly provide the Licensor with a copy of any documents used by the
Company, which contain the name of the Licensor. The Licensor may act as a

granted to the Company hereunder, subject to the policies, if any, of the
Licensor.

principal and agent between the Licensor and the Company, nor any of their
agents or employees for any purpose whatsoever. This Agreement shall not be
construed as creating a partnership between the Licensor and the Company, or as
creating any other form of legal association or arrangement which would impose
liability upon one party for the act or failure to act of the other party.

         13.3 In the event that the Licensor desires to publish or disclose, by
written, oral or other presentation, Know-how, Patent Rights, or any material
information related thereto then the Licensor shall notify the Company in
writing by facsimile where confirmed by the receiving party, and/or by certified
or registered mail (return receipt requested) of its intention at least sixty
(60) days prior to any speech, lecture or other oral presentation and at least
sixty (60) days before any written or other publication or disclosure. The
Licensor shall include with such notice a description of any proposed oral
presentation or, in any proposed written or other disclosure, a current draft of
such proposed disclosure or abstract. The Company may request that the Licensor,
no later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of such notice, delay such
presentation, publication or disclosure in order to enable the Company to file,
or have filed on their behalf, a patent application, copyright or other
appropriate form of intellectual property protection related to the information
to be disclosed or request that the Licensor does so. Upon receipt of such
request to delay such presentation, publication or disclosure, the Licensor
shall arrange for a delay of such presentation, publication or disclosure until
the earlier to occur of (a) to ninety (90) days and (b) such time as the Company
or the Licensor has filed, or has had filed on its behalf, such patent
application, copyright or other appropriate form of intellectual property
protection in form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
the Licensor. If the Licensor does not receive any such request from the Company
to delay such presentation, publication or disclosure, the Licensor may submit
such material for presentation, publication or other form of disclosure.

     -----------------------

     4.1  Content  License.  Subject  to the  terms of this  Agreement,  Sponsor
          -----------------
          hereby   grants  to  eBay  a   non-exclusive,   nontransferable,   and
          non-assignable   license  to  use,  reproduce,   distribute  (only  as
          necessary to promote the Sponsor Services in a manner  consistent with
          this Agreement),  publicly display and publicly perform (in digital or
          analog formats), the Sponsor Content on the eBay Site, or otherwise as
          reasonably  appropriate  to advertise and promote the Sponsor  Service
          and the Sponsor Content.  Subject to the terms and conditions  hereof,
          eBay hereby grants to Sponsor a  non-exclusive,  nontransferable,  and
          non-assignable license to reproduce,  distribute, publicly perform and

     4.2  Trademarks.  Subject to the terms of this  Agreement,  Sponsor  hereby
          -----------

          license  to use the  Sponsor  Marks  on the eBay  Site,  as well as in

          Subject to the terms of this Agreement,  eBay hereby grants to Sponsor

Confidential                            4
<PAGE>

          a non exclusive, nontransferable, and nonassignable license to use the
          eBay Marks provided by eBay to Sponsor on the Sponsor Page, subject to
          eBay's  prior  written  approval  (which may be  withheld  at its sole
          discretion) and in a manner consistent this Agreement.  However,  each
          Mark license is  conditioned  on the licensee  providing  the licensor
          with a sample of the Mark use and obtaining the licensor's approval of
          such sample prior its use.

     4.3  Trademark Restrictions.  The Mark licensor may terminate its foregoing
          -----------------------
          trademark  license if, in the licensor's  reasonable  discretion,  the
          licensee's  use of licensor's  Marks  tarnishes,  blurs or dilutes the
          quality  associated with licensor's  Marks or the associated  goodwill
          and such  problem  is not  cured  within  ten (10)  days of  notice of
          breach;  alternatively,  instead of terminating  the license in total,
          the licensor may specify  that certain  licensee  uses may not contain
          the Marks.  Title to and  ownership  of a Mark shall  remain  with the
          licensor.  The licensee shall use the licensor's  Marks exactly in the
          form provided and in conformance  with any trademark  usage  policies.
          The  licensee  shall  not  take  any  action   inconsistent  with  the
          licensor's  ownership of the Marks, and any benefits accruing from use
          of such Marks shall automatically vest in the licensor.  Except as may
          be expressly  agreed by the parties,  the licensee  shall not form any
          combination  marks with the licensor's Marks. Each party hereby admits
          and  recognizes the other's  exclusive  ownership of the other's Marks
          and the renown of the other's Marks worldwide.

     4.4  Ownership.  Except as expressly set forth in this  Agreement,  neither
          ----------
          party grants to the other any rights in or to any technology, content,
          customer  data,  intellectual  property or other rights or property of
          such party. All rights not expressly granted hereunder are reserved.

     4.5  Content Standards. Sponsor will not provide any Sponsor Content, that:
          ------------------

          privacy;  (ii)  violates  Duty law,  statute,  ordinance or regulation
          (including  without  limitation  the  laws and  regulations  governing

          advertising);   (iii)  is  defamatory,   trade  libelous,   unlawfully
          threatening  or  unlawfully  harassing;  (iv) is  obscene,  harmful to
          minors or child pornographic; (v) contains any viruses, Trojan horses,
          worms, time bombs,  cancelbots or other computer  programming routines
