(hereinafter ITEOS and Consultant being referred to as the “Parties” collectively or “Party” individually).

This consultancy letter agreement (the "Agreement") confirms your engagement by ITEOS as a consultant for ITEOS, as of the Effective Date set forth above, to perform certain services as may be agreed in writing from time to time as set forth below (collectively, the "Services").

Services shall include appropriate support reflecting your medical, scientific, technical or other expertise. The Services shall be specified in writing by you and ITEOS, by executing an addendum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each such executed addendum being a “Work Order”). You will perform the Services for ITEOS during the term of this Agreement at such times as you are reasonably available and in response to ITEOS’ requests for Services.

In addition, ITEOS will reimburse for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in performing the Services, provided the expenses are pre-approved by ITEOS. Out-of-pocket and pass-through costs shall not include any overhead or profit and must be supported by original invoices.

Requests for payment for Services and other pre-approved reimbursements shall be submitted no less frequently than quarterly in arrears or as otherwise agreed between the Parties, with original supporting documentation attached. All invoices will be paid by ITEOS within thirty (30) days of receipt. Payment will be made by ITEOS in accordance with the details set forth in each Work Order.

You shall be solely responsible for all state and federal income taxes, unemployment insurance and social security taxes in connection with this Agreement and for maintaining adequate workers' compensation insurance coverage.

No amount paid or reimbursed hereunder is intended to be, nor shall it be construed as being, an offer or payment made, whether directly or indirectly, to induce the referral of patients, the purchase, lease or order of any item or service, or the recommending or arranging for the purchase, lease or order of any item or service.

The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall commence on the last date of execution of this Agreement or – if later – on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect for one (1) year from that date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 5, and may be extended or modified only upon the written agreement of you and ITEOS. However, if a Work Order is entered into prior to the end of the Term, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfactory completion of such Work Order.

Each Party may terminate this Agreement or any of the Services to be performed hereunder, at any time and for any reason whatsoever or without reason upon one (1) month written notice to the other Party. Upon delivery of such notice, you shall immediately

(i)

cease performing the affected Service(s) including other activities in connection with the performance of such Services, unless ITEOS otherwise directs you to perform certain Service(s) and/or complete an orderly wind-down of Service(s) up to the effective date of termination;

Upon termination, ITEOS' sole obligation to you shall be to pay you any outstanding monies owed to you up to the time of such notice of termination, for Services actually performed and, subject to ITEOS' obligation (if any) to reimburse the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by you up to the date of termination. You shall furnish ITEOS with notice of any outstanding expenses within sixty (60) days from the date of termination. To the extent that such actual charges and expenses shall be less than the total monies previously paid to you, you shall promptly refund to ITEOS any and all excess funds. ITEOS' right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5 shall be in addition to other rights and remedies that ITEOS may have at law or in equity.

During the term of this Agreement and thereafter (including following any termination), you agree to retain in confidence and to refrain from disclosing or using for your benefit or the benefit of any third party, any and all data and information disclosed to you or generated pursuant to the Services hereunder or obtained from ITEOS by you or your representative and any and all data or analyses and studies arising or derived from such information or data (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information also includes information relating to research and development and commercial plans of ITEOS. These restrictions undergo the following exclusions, provided that you shall bear the burden of establishing any of the forthcoming exclusions:

(v)

you are required by judicial or other government order to disclose Confidential Information, provided that (a) you give ITEOS a reasonable written notice prior to such disclosure to allow ITEOS a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or equivalent; or (b) if such protective order or equivalent is not obtained, you make any required disclosures in consultation with ITEOS; or (c) you disclose only that portion of Confidential Information which you are advised by written opinion of counsel you are legally required to disclose; and (d) you shall use your best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable written assurance from the applicable judicial or governmental entity that it will afford Confidential Information the highest level of protection afforded under applicable law or regulation.

You will not, without the prior written permission of ITEOS, use information and data you have received or generated under this Agreement for any purpose other than in carrying out this Agreement. You further agree not to submit for publication any paper containing information and data you have received or generated under this Agreement without the prior written permission of ITEOS. Neither Party may use the name of the other Party in any publicity or advertising nor may issue a press release or otherwise publicize or disclose any information related to the existence of this Agreement or the terms and conditions hereof, without the prior consent of the other Party, except with respect to any disclosures required by ITEOS under applicable law, including but not limited to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended.

ITEOS shall own all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions, works of authorship, designs, know-how, ideas and information made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by or for or on behalf of you during the term of this Agreement that relate to the subject matter of or arise out of or in connection with the Services or any Proprietary Information (as defined below) (collectively, “Inventions”) and you will promptly disclose and provide all Inventions to ITEOS.

You hereby irrevocably designate and appoint ITEOS as your agents and attorneys-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to act for and on your behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by you and all other creators or owners of the applicable Invention.

You agree that all Inventions and all other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) developed, learned or obtained by or on behalf of you during the period that you are to be providing the Services that relate to ITEOS or the business or demonstrably anticipated business of ITEOS or in connection with the Services or that are received by or for ITEOS in confidence, constitute “Proprietary Information.” You shall hold in confidence and not disclose or, except in performing the Services, use any Proprietary Information. However, you shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect to information you can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of your own.

as otherwise requested by ITEOS, you will promptly provide to ITEOS all items and copies containing or embodying Proprietary Information, except that you may keep personal copies of compensation records and this Agreement.

As additional protection for Proprietary Information, you agree that during the period over which you are to be providing the Services, and for six (6) months thereafter, (i) you will not directly or indirectly encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of ITEOS to leave ITEOS for any reason and (ii) you will not engage in any activity that is in any way competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of ITEOS, and you will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of ITEOS.

You will confirm any such ratifications and consents from time to time as requested by ITEOS. If any other person is in any way involved in any Services, you will obtain the foregoing ratifications, consents and authorizations from such person for ITEOS’s exclusive benefit.
