Subject: NDA vs. UM (2/3)

CAUSES OF ACTION

COUNT I. BREACH OF CONTRACT

  42. Plaintiff repeats and realleges as if fully set forth herein, those
allegations set forth under paragraphs 1 through 41 hereinabove.

  43. NDA and the defendant entered into those written contracts attached
hereto as Exhibits A, B, and C.

  44. NDA met its obligations under said contracts and otherwise performed
as required.

  45. The defendant breached said contracts as stated in paragraphs 29
through 36 above.

  46. As a direct and proximate cause of the defendant's failures under the
contract, the plaintiff has suffered damages in an amount which exceeds the
jurisdictional level of this court.

COUNT II. FRAUD

  47. Defendant, its agents, servants and employees committed fraud on the
plaintiff by inducing plaintiff to enter into contracts with defendant and
to disclose to defendant its technology by representing that defendant's
actions as a consequence of such contracts and such disclosure would be for
the benefit of plaintiff when in fact defendant intended otherwise.

  48. As the result of the foregoing plaintiff suffered damages in an
amount which exceeds the jurisdictional level of this court.

COUNT III. CONVERSION

  49. Defendant, its agents, servants and/or employees and/or affiliates
have converted the technology owned by plaintiff for its own benefit and
additionally have converted income which the plaintiff would have realized
but for the actions of the defendant, thereby causing the plaintiff to
suffer damages in an amount which exceeds the jurisdictional level of this
court.

COUNT IV. BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY

  50. Defendant, its agents, servants, employees and/or affiliates have
breached fiduciary duties and duties of good faith and trust by the actions
set forth above, thereby causing the plaintiff to suffer damages in an
amount which exceeds the jurisdictional level of this court.

COUNT V. TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACTS

  51. Defendant knowingly prevented plaintiff from satisfying its
contractual obligations with others and knowingly caused others to refrain
from doing business with plaintiff by defendant's intentional failure to
fulfill and abide by the terms of its obligations to plaintiff and by
converting plaintiff's property in each case with the intent and effect of
depriving plaintiff of needed resources to be derived from investors and
from the commercialization of plaintiff's technology, which resources were
necessary for the satisfaction of such contractual obligations and the
entering into agreements with other parties, thereby causing the plaintiff
to suffer damages in an amount which exceeds the jurisdictional level of
this court.

COUNT VI. ACCOUNTING

  52. Plaintiff demands that the defendant provide an accounting of all
income derived by it or its agents, servants, employees or affiliates from
the treatment with Ibogaine or its derivatives at the St. Kitts facility or
any other income derived from treatment with Ibogaine or its derivatives
anywhere else throughout the world.

COUNT VII. CONSTRUCTIVE TRUST

  53. Plaintiff respectfully requests that all income derived by the
defendant, its agents, servants, employees or affiliates from the use or
promotion of Ibogaine or its derivatives, be placed into a constructive
trust for the benefit of the plaintiff and order that all income along with
interest be paid over to the plaintiff.

COUNT VIII. ATTORNEY'S FEES

  54. Under paragraph 17 of the June, 1992 Agreement, the Plaintiff is
entitled to recover attorney's fees and costs incurred in bringing this
action. Plaintiff has expended and will continue to expend money in
protecting its legal rights which have been violated by the defendant,
thereby causing the plaintiff to suffer damages in an amount which exceeds
the jurisdictional level of this court.

  WHEREFORE, premised upon the foregoing, the plaintiff requests that this
honorable Court enter Final Judgment against the defendant on the FIRST,
SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH causes of action in
amounts which exceed the jurisdictional level of this court to compensate
the plaintiff for those losses as described herein, those damages that are
a natural consequence of the defendant's failure to meet its obligations
and interest, costs and attorney's fees and such other relief that this
honorable Court deems just and proper. NDA also seeks punitive and
exemplary damages as a consequence of the outrageous and egregious nature
of the defendant's conduct.
