Agreement with PROCAPS S.A.

On March 25, 2010, the Company granted PROCAPS S.A. (“PROCAPS”) (in the form of a definitive term sheet) exclusive rights to market and sell GM-CT-01 (formerly DAVANAT®) to treat cancer in Colombia, South America. PROCAPS is an international, privately held pharmaceutical company based in Barranquilla, Colombia. In October 2010, the Company received a payment of $200,000 and shipped GM-CT-01 to PROCAPS to be used by PROCAPS to qualify its vial filling process and to replicate the Company’s stability study. The $200,000 payment from PROCAPS was included as deferred income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011.

On October 18, 2011, the Company entered into a Collaboration, Supply, Marketing and Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with PROCAPS. The Agreement granted PROCAPS first negotiation rights to enter into similar agreements in other Central and South American countries. The Company was to be the sole manufacturer and supplier of GM-CT-01 to PROCAPS. The Agreement obligated PROCAPS to procure regulatory approvals necessary for the marketing and sale of GM-CT-01 naming the Company as the owner of such approvals to the extent permitted by law, or alternatively hold the approvals for the Company’s benefit. PROCAPS was to pay the Company a stated fee for each dose it purchased and royalties at an incremental rate determined by annual net sales of GM-CT-01. The Company retains all intellectual property rights to GM-CT-01 and related products and PROCAPS may not produce, modify, reverse engineer, or otherwise interfere with the GM-CT-01 compound. PROCAPS was not able to manufacture or sell products that compete with GM-CT-01 during the term of the Agreement and for five years thereafter.

PROCAPS had not obtained approval to sell GM-CT-01 in Columbia as required by the Agreement and, as they were in material breach of the Agreement, the Company terminated the Agreement, effective September 29, 2012. With no further obligations, the Company recognized the $200,000 payment as Other Income in the Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project

In October 2010, the Company was notified that it was awarded $489,000 total in two federal grants under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project (“QTDP”) Program for its GM-CT-01 anti-cancer compound and for its GR/GM-Series of anti-fibrotic, cirrhosis compounds for work performed during 2010 and 2009. The Company recognized this grant in other income in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company received $255,000 of the grant in 2010 and the remaining $234,000 was received in 2011.
