business (each of whom shall be bound by IOMED's customary confidential
disclosure agreements), who shall be informed of such confidentiality
obligation and for whose breach the disclosing party shall be responsible.

knowledge through no default of the Party receiving such
information; or

receipt of such information by such Party, whether received before

disclosing Party prompt notice of such fact so that the disclosing
Party may obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy
concerning any such disclosure. The receiving Party shall fully
cooperate with the disclosing Party in connection with the
disclosing Party's efforts to obtain any such order or other
remedy. If any such order or other remedy does not fully preclude
disclosure, the receiving Party shall make such disclosure only to
the extent that such disclosure is legally required; or
1.2.5. is independently developed by or for the Party by persons not
having access to the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the other Party.
1.3. Each Party shall take all such precautions as it normally takes with its
own CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to prevent any improper disclosure of such
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to any third party, provided, however, that such
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may be disclosed within the limits required to
obtain any authorization from the FDA or any other United States of
America or foreign governmental or regulatory agency or, with the prior
written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, or as may otherwise be required in connection with the purposes
of this Agreement.

IONTOPHORETIC PATENT RIGHTS, or other CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed
to IOMED or obtained from DDS pursuant to this Agreement, other than as
expressly provided herein. DDS agrees that it will not use, directly or
indirectly, any IOMED KNOW-HOW, IOMED PATENT RIGHTS or other CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION disclosed to DDS or obtained from IOMED pursuant to this
Agreement, other than as expressly provided herein.
23
1.5. IOMED and DDS will not publicize the existence of this Agreement in any
way without the prior written consent of the other subject to the

be withheld in DDS's sole discretion. DDS shall be entitled to assign its
rights and obligations to an AFFILIATE. DDS may not assign to an
unaffiliated third party (other than by operation of law in the event of
an acquisition of DDS, or a merger or similar transaction) its rights
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of IOMED, which may
be withheld in IOMED's sole discretion.
3. Certain Changes of Control.
In the event that an OFFERING PARTY makes or signifies its intention of
make a bona fide offer which would result in such a party owning, directly
or indirectly, more than fifteen per cent (15%) of IOMED's voting stock,
on a fully-diluted basis, or otherwise controlling the IOMED's Board of
Directors, or otherwise obtains substantial contractual rights pursuant to
an agreement with IOMED to the DDS IONTOPHORETIC PATENT RIGHTS (as
reasonably determined by DDS) (each, a "Control Transaction"), IOMED shall
(x) not accept such offer until it shall have complied with the remaining
provisions of this Paragraph without DDS's consent (in its sole
discretion) and (y) advise the appropriate OFFERING PARTY that, in lieu of
IOMED accepting such offer, such OFFERING PARTY should make a separate
offer with respect to that portion of IOMED"s business that relates to the
FIELD, and not to the remaining potion of IOMED's business. DDS and/or
ELAN shall have a period of thirty (30) days to conduct appropriate due
diligence and to determine whether it desires to match an offer made by an
OFFERING PARTY with respect to that portion of IOMED's business that
relates to the FIELD, (including the same economic, payment and other
terms); it being understood that IOMED shall make available to DDS and/or
ELAN reasonable and sufficient information to enable DDS and/or ELAN to
conduct such due diligence.
In the event that DDS and/or ELAN determines to make such offer, IOMED
shall accept such offer and expeditiously consummate such transaction with
DDS and/or ELAN. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an
OFFERING PARTY consummates a Control Transaction without the consent of
the IOMED's Board of Directors (as such Board is comprised at the time
such transaction is first publicly announced or commenced)(including
without limitation, in connection with a tender offer or offers or proxy
solicitation), DDS shall have the right in its sole discretion, to
terminate the licences granted by DDS pursuant to this Agreement, without
payment or penalty to IOMED.
