Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 5, 2012, we amended our November 2010 Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Mundipharma International Corporation Limited (“Mundipharma International”) and our November 2010 Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with Mundipharma Medical Company. The amendments added the following additional territories to each of the underlying agreements: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Bolivia, Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras. The amendment to our Exclusive Distribution Agreement requires that Mundipharma International meet specified minimum sales targets, which range from thousands to millions of tablets of product in finished form on a country by country basis, over specified periods of time. If Mundipharma International does not meet the minimum sales volumes, the marketing rights granted will become nonexclusive with respect to the applicable country unless Mundipharma International pays us the shortfall. Further, under the amendment to our Exclusive Distribution Agreement, we may receive aggregate up-front and milestone payments of up to $2,000,000.

The foregoing summary of the amendments to our Exclusive Distribution Agreement and Manufacturing and Supply Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendments, which are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
