4.3 JSMC Meetings. During the Research Term, the JSMC shall meet in person
or by teleconference on a calendar quarter basis (provided that at
least two meetings per year shall be in person) or more frequently as
necessary and as may be agreed upon, with each Party bearing all
travel and related costs for its representatives. Thereafter, the JSMC
shall meet on an ad hoc basis as needed to perform the
responsibilities designated to the JSMC. In addition to periodic
meetings, the members of the JSMC shall communicate regularly by
electronic mail or facsimile, as deemed necessary or appropriate.
Minutes of the meetings of the JSMC will be generated and circulated
to its members within two weeks following the JSMC meeting
4.4 JSMC Decision-Making Process. Each Party shall have one vote in all
matters decided by the JSMC, and decisions by the JSMC shall be made
by consensus. The Parties shall attempt to resolve any disagreement
among members of the JSMC within the JSMC based on the efficient
achievement of the objectives of this Agreement. Any disagreement that
cannot be resolved by a majority vote of the JSMC shall be referred to
the Chief Executive Officer of 3DP or a comparable position selected
by 3DP from time to time, and the Senior Vice President of Early
Discovery and Applied Technology for BMS, or a comparable position
selected by BMS from time to time, for resolution as set forth below.
It is the intent of the Parties to resolve issues through the JSMC
whenever possible and to refer issues to the specified officers of 3DP
and BMS only when resolution through the JSMC cannot be achieved. In
the event that the specified officers of 3DP and BMS cannot reach
agreement within fifteen (15) days after a matter is referred to them
for resolution, then the specified officer of BMS shall make the
decision; provided, however, with respect to matters governed by
Section 4.5 of this Agreement, in the event that the specified
officers of 3DP and BMS cannot reach agreement within fifteen (15)
days after a matter is referred to them for resolution, the parties
will enter into dispute resolution in accordance with Article 13 of
this Agreement (it being agreed that the more formal dispute
resolution required pursuant to Article 13 will be followed even
though the personnel on the dispute resolution panel may be the same
personnel required to make decisions under this Section 4.4).
4.5 Allocation of FTEs to Screening and Development. In furtherance of the
provisions of Article 2, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the
JSMC's allocation of FTEs under the Research Program will change from
time to time to meet the needs of the Research Program and will
depend, in part, upon the Research Program's success in finding Pre-
Clinical Lead Compounds and the timing of such success. It is the
intent of the Parties to allocate the work being performed by the FTEs
to allow for the performance of all Stages of the Research Program in
a manner that is equitable to both Parties. Subject to the foregoing,
the Parties agree that to the extent feasible and desired by 3DP, up
to [**] of the Targets screened during the initial Research

Term that lead to Program Lead Compounds may be further optimized by
3DP to produce a Pre-Clinical Lead Compound.
4.6 Minutes of Meetings. Within two (2) weeks after each JSMC meeting, the
secretary of the JSMC shall prepare and distribute minutes of the
meeting, which shall provide a description in reasonable detail of the
discussions had at the meeting and a list of any actions, decisions or
determinations approved by the JSMC. The secretary shall be
responsible for circulation of all draft and final minutes. Draft
minutes shall be first circulated to the chairperson, edited by the
chairperson and then circulated in final draft form to all members of
the JSMC sufficiently in advance of the next meeting to allow adequate
review and comment prior to the meeting. Minutes shall be approved or
disapproved, and revised as necessary, at the next meeting Final
minutes shall be distributed to the members of the JSMC.
4.7 Management of Matters Outside the Jurisdiction of the JSMC. Matters
outside the scope of the Research Program and internal to each Party
are not under the purview of the JSMC. Such matters include, but are
not limited to the following: internal personnel policies and
programs; budgeting, finance, commercial and marketing strategies; and
business decisions. However, the Parties agree to communicate with
each other promptly on those matters which, while outside the scope of
the Research Program, nevertheless may reasonably be expected to
influence the conduct or term of the Research Program or the intended
commercialization of any Pre-Clinical Lead Compound(s).

**Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted upon a request for
confidential treatment that has been filed with the Commission. The omitted
portions have been filed separately with the Commission.
16
milestone payments actually paid with respect to the Original Compound
prior to termination of development of such Original Compound.
5.10 Royalty Reduction in the Absence of Patent Protection. The royalty
amounts set forth above shall be reduced by [**] on a country-by-
country basis at any such time that there are no Patent Rights
containing a Valid Claim with respect to the Active Compound which is
an ingredient of such Licensed Product in such country.
5.11 Royalty Period. The royalty payments set forth above shall be payable
for each Licensed Product on a product-by-product and country-by-
country basis from the time of First Commercial Sale of Licensed
Product in such country until the later of: (a) ten (10) years from
the time of First Commercial Sale of Licensed Product in such country;
or (b) until the last-to-expire or -lapse of Patent Rights containing
a Valid Claim with respect to the Active Compound which is an
ingredient of such Licensed Product in such country.
5.12 Royalty Conditions. The royalties under this Article 5 shall be
subject to the following conditions:
5.12.1 Only one royalty shall be due with respect to the same unit of
Licensed Product; and
5.12.2 No royalties shall be due upon the sale or other transfer
among BMS, its Affiliates or licensees, but in such cases the
royalty shall be due and calculated upon BMS's or its
Affiliate's or licensee's Net Sales of Licensed Product to the
first independent Third Party.
5.13 Third Party Patent Rights. In the event that during the term of the
royalty obligation for a Licensed Product under this Article 5, a
Third Party shall control an issued patent or patents in any country
covering the sale of a Licensed Product, and in the reasonable
judgment of BMS, it would be impractical or impossible for BMS (or its
Affiliates or licensees or sublicensees) to continue to sell the
Licensed Product without obtaining a royalty bearing license from such
Third Party, then, after giving 3DP notice and a reasonable
opportunity to comment thereon, and after taking due consideration of
3DP's comments, BMS shall be entitled to a credit against the
royalties due hereunder with respect to such country in an amount
equal to [**] of the royalty paid to such Third Party, said credit not
to exceed [**] of the royalty otherwise due under this Agreement,
arising from the sale of the Licensed Product in said country.
However, the foregoing royalty credit shall only be available when the
total royalty obligation owed by BMS (or its Affiliates or licensees
or sublicensees) to unaffiliated third parties exceeds [**] of Net
Sales of Licensed Product.
5.14 Mode of Payment. All payments to 3DP hereunder shall be made by wire
transfer of United States Dollars in the requisite amount to such bank
account as 3DP may from time to time

designate by notice to BMS. Milestone payments shall be made within
sixty (60) days of occurrence of the relevant milestone event and
royalty payments for a given calendar quarter shall be made within
sixty (60) days following the end of the calendar quarter. Payments
shall be free and clear of any taxes (other than withholding and other
taxes imposed on 3DP), fees or charges, to the extent applicable. For
purposes of computing royalty payments for Net Sales made outside of
the United States, such royalties shall be converted into U.S.
Dollars, by applying the rate of exchange as used by BMS's global
accounting system which reflects the average exchange rate for the
applicable payment period.
5.15 Records Retention. With respect to any products for which royalties
are due pursuant to this Agreement, BMS and its Affiliates and any
licensees or sublicensees shall keep records, for two years, of such
Net Sales in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the royalty
calculations hereunder. At the request of 3DP, BMS shall permit an
independent certified accountant of nationally recognized standing
appointed by 3DP and reasonably acceptable to BMS, at reasonable times
and upon reasonable notice, to examine these records solely to the
extent necessary to verify such calculations. Such investigation shall
be at the expense of 3DP unless it reveals a discrepancy in BMS's
favor of more than ten percent, in which event it shall be at BMS's
expense.
5.16 Taxes. The Party receiving royalties and other payments under this
Agreement shall pay any and all taxes levied on account of such
payment. If any taxes are required to be withheld by the paying Party,
it shall: (a) deduct such taxes from the remitting payment, (b) pay
the taxes, in a timely manner, to the proper taxing authority, and (c)
send proof of payment to the other Party and certify its receipt by
the taxing authority within sixty (60) days following such payment.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
7.1 Confidentiality Obligations. The Parties agree that, for the term of
this Agreement and for ten (10) years thereafter, either Party (a
"Receiving Party") that receives Confidential Information from the
other Party (a "Disclosing Party") shall keep, and shall endeavor to
ensure that its officers, directors and employees keep, confidential
and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any
purpose (except as expressly permitted hereunder) any Confidential
Information furnished to it by its Disclosing Party pursuant to this
Agreement (including without limitation, Know-how). The obligations of
confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Section 7.1 shall also
apply to biological material and chemical compounds and associated

to BMS with respect to compounds that are assigned to BMS or
exclusively licensed to BMS by 3DP.
7.2 Written Assurances and Permitted Uses of Confidential Information.
7.2.1 Each Party shall inform its employees and consultants who
perform substantial work on the Research Program, of the
obligations of confidentiality specified in Section 7.1 and all
such persons shall be bound by the terms of confidentiality set
forth therein.
7.2.2 The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party's
Confidential Information to the extent the Receiving Party is
compelled to disclose such information by a judicial or
administrative authority of competent jurisdiction, including
but not limited to submitting information to tax authorities or
to comply with any discovery or similar request for production
of documents in litigation or similar alternative dispute
resolution proceedings, provided however, that in such case the
Receiving Party shall give notice, in a timely fashion, to the
Disclosing Party so that the Disclosing Party may seek a
protective order or other remedy from said authority. In any
event, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of
the Confidential Information that, in the opinion of its legal
counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and will exercise
reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so
disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment by said court
or tribunal.
7.2.3 To the extent it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to
fulfill its obligations and exercising its rights under this
Agreement, either Party may disclose Confidential Information
to its Affiliates on a need-to-know basis on condition that
such Affiliates agree to keep the Confidential Information
confidential for the same time periods and to the same extent
as such Party is required to keep the Confidential Information
confidential under this Agreement.
7.2.4 To the extent that it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to
fulfill its obligations, either Party may disclose Confidential
Information to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the
foreign counterparts thereof, in order to comply with the rules
governing disclosure of material information during patent

confidential treatment that has been filed with the Commission. The omitted
portions have been filed separately with the Commission.
20
however, that any such recipient of such Confidential Information
shall agree in writing to keep such terms confidential for the same
time periods and to the same extent as 3DP is required to keep
Confidential Information confidential under this Agreement.
Furthermore, BMS acknowledges that 3DP may be obligated to disclose
terms of this Agreement and make public a copy of this Agreement in
the event it files a registration statement with respect to its shares
or it becomes a public company as required by applicable U.S. law;
provided however, that the terms and this Agreement and the copy
submitted to the applicable governmental agency shall be redacted such
that the extent of any such disclosure shall be limited to that which
in the opinion of 3DP's legal counsel is legally required to be
disclosed.
7.4 Notification. Both Parties recognize that each may wish to publish the
results of their work relating to the Research Program. However, both
Parties also recognize the importance of acquiring patent protection
on Licensed Products. Consequently, neither Party shall make any
publication relating to any Licensed Product until Phase II clinical
trials with respect to such Licensed Product have commenced and,
thereafter, any proposed publication by either Party shall comply with
this Article 7. At least sixty (60) days before a manuscript is to be
submitted to a publisher, the publishing Party will provide the JSMC
with a copy of the manuscript. If the publishing Party wishes to make
an oral presentation, it will provide the JSMC with a copy of the
abstract (if one is submitted) at least sixty (60) days before it is
to be submitted. The publishing Party will also provide to the JSMC a
copy of the text of the presentation, including all slides, posters
and any other visual aids, at least sixty (60) days before the
presentation is made.
7.5 Review of Proposed Publications. The JSMC will review the manuscript,
abstract, text or any other material provided under Section 7.4 to
determine if patentable subject matter is disclosed. The JSMC will
notify the publishing Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
proposed publication if the JSMC determines that patentable subject
matter is or may be disclosed, or if the JSMC believes Confidential
Information or proprietary information is or may be disclosed. If it
is determined by the JSMC that patent applications should be filed,
the publishing Party shall delay its publication or presentation for a
period not to exceed 90 days from the JSMC's receipt of the proposed
publication to allow time for the filing of patent applications
covering patentable subject matter. In the event that the delay needed
to complete the filing of any necessary patent application will exceed
the ninety (90)-day period, the Parties will discuss the need for
obtaining an extension of the publication delay beyond the ninety
(90)-day period. If it is determined by the JSMC that confidential or
proprietary information is being disclosed, the JSMC will consult to
arrive at an agreement on mutually acceptable modifications to the
proposed publication to avoid such disclosure. The publishing Party of
any manuscript, text or oral presentation will acknowledge the other
Party for its contribution to the material being published or
presented and to the Research Program.

ARTICLE 8
PATENT RIGHTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
8.1 Title to Patent Rights. Subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, and any independent rights in others, the ownership of
Research Program Patent Rights shall be determined in accordance with
the principles of inventorship and ownership as prescribed by U.S.
patent law. Thus, the Parties contemplate that Research Program Patent
Rights may be jointly owned by both Parties or owned solely by one
Party.
8.2 Filing of Patent Applications and Expenses.
8.2.1 BMS has the right but not the obligation to pursue and maintain
Research Program Patent Rights that claim Licensed Products at
its own cost.
8.2.2 Where there is co-ownership of such Research Program Patent
Rights, BMS shall regularly provide 3DP with copies of all
patent office filings and other material submissions and
correspondence with various patent offices, in sufficient time
to allow for review and comment.
8.3 Enforcement of Issued Patent Rights. If either Party considers that a
Valid Claim of any of the issued Research Program Patent Rights
claiming the manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products is being
infringed by a Third Party, it shall notify the other Party and
provide it with any evidence of such infringement which is reasonably
available. BMS shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own
expense, to attempt to remove such infringement by commercially
appropriate steps, including a lawsuit. If required by law, 3DP shall
join such suit as a Party, at BMS's expense. In the event BMS fails to
take commercially appropriate steps with respect to such infringement
within six (6) months following notice of such infringement, 3DP shall
have the right to do so at its expense, provided that BMS shall not be
required to enforce such Research Program Patent Rights against more
than one entity or in more than one country at any one time.
8.4 Recovery of Damages. Any amounts recovered by BMS pursuant to Section
8.3, whether by settlement or judgment shall be reported as Net Sales
for the purpose of calculating any applicable royalties to 3DP, after
deduction of BMS's reasonable expenses in making such recovery. If 3DP
enforces such Research Program Patent Rights pursuant to the
provisions of Section 8.3, then 3DP shall retain any amounts recovered
thereby.
8.5 Assistance. The Party not enforcing the Research Program Patent Rights
pursuant to Section 8.3, shall provide reasonable assistance to the
other Party, including providing access to relevant
**Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted upon a request for
confidential treatment that has been filed with the Commission. The omitted
portions have been filed separately with the Commission.
22
documents and other evidence and making its employees available,
subject to the enforcing Party's reimbursement of any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the other Party.
8.6 Third Party Patent Rights. If any warning letter or other notice of
infringement is received by a Party, or action, suit or proceeding is
brought against a Party alleging infringement of a patent of any Third
Party in the manufacture, use or sale of a Licensed Product or in the
conduct of the Research Program, the Parties shall promptly discuss
and decide the best way to respond.
ARTICLE 9
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Indemnification by BMS. BMS shall indemnify, defend and hold 3DP and
its agents, employees and directors (the "3DP Indemnitees") harmless
from and against any and all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Third Party
claims or lawsuits related to (a) BMS's performance of its obligations
under this Agreement; or (b) product liability for bodily injury
and/or property damage related to BMS's development activities with
compounds identified under the Research Program and/or with Licensed
Products; or (c) the manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products by
BMS and its Affiliates, sublicensees, distributors and agents, except
to the extent such claims or suits result from the breach of any of
the provisions of this Agreement, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the 3DP Indemnitees. Upon the assertion of any such
claim or suit, the 3DP Indemnitees shall promptly notify BMS thereof
and shall permit BMS to assume direction and control of the defense of
the claim (including the selection of counsel and the right to settle
it at the sole discretion of BMS, provided that such settlement does
not impose any material obligation on the 3DP Indemnitees), and shall
cooperate as requested (at the expense of BMS) in the defense of the
claim.
9.2 Indemnification By 3DP. 3DP shall indemnify, defend and hold BMS and
its agents, employees and directors (the "BMS Indemnitees") harmless
from and against any and all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Third Party
claims or lawsuits related to 3DP's performance of its obligations
under this Agreement, except to the extent that such claims or suits
result from the breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement,
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the BMS Indemnitees. Upon
the assertion of any such claim or suit, the BMS Indemnitees shall
promptly notify 3DP thereof and shall permit 3DP to assume direction
and control of the defense of the claim (including the selection of
counsel and the right to settle it at the sole discretion of 3DP,
provided that such settlement does not impose any material obligation
on the BMS Indemnitees), and shall cooperate as requested (at the
expense of 3DP) in the defense of the claim.

10.1 Term of Research Program. The Research Program shall commence upon
the Effective Date, and unless earlier terminated as provided herein,
shall expire on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, subject
to any extension thereto.
10.2 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective
Date and shall terminate: (a) thirty (30) days after notice, in good
faith, by one Party to the other Party, following the termination or
expiration of the Research Term or any Extended Research Term, if no
compound, which was identified as an Initial Hit, or at least one
optimized or developed successor thereto, is being diligently
optimized, developed, commercialized and/or sold by BMS or 3DP, or
(b) upon the identification and commercialization of one or more
Licensed Products, upon expiration of the royalty period, as to each
Licensed Product in each country in the Territory, as provided in
Section 5.11.
10.3 Termination of the Research Program Without Cause. Subject to the
provisions of Section 5.5, BMS may terminate the Research Program
upon ninety (90)-days advance written notice during the Research Term
or any Extended Research Term.
10.4 Termination Due to Acquisition. During the Research Term or any
Extended Research Term, if any major pharmaceutical company, which in
the good faith determination of BMS, is a competitor of BMS closes on
an acquisition of 3DP (whether through merger, consolidation or
acquisition, directly or indirectly, of stock representing fifty
percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock or other equity
securities of 3DP, sale of all or substantially all the assets of 3DP
or otherwise), BMS may terminate the Research Program, but not the
other provisions of this Agreement, effective thirty (30) days after
written notice is transmitted to 3DP, its parent, successor, or the
surviving or new entity, as the case may be, provided such notice
shall not be sent until the actual closing date of such transaction.
In such case, no termination fees shall be due, but BMS shall
continue to fund the Research Program until the effective date of its
termination.
10.5 Breach. The failure by a Party to comply with any of the material
obligations contained in this Agreement shall entitle the other Party
to give notice to have the default cured. If such default is not

ARTICLE 13
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any dispute concerning or arising out of this Agreement or concerning the
existence or validity hereof shall be determined by the following procedure:
13.1 Dispute Resolution Process. Both Parties understand and appreciate
that their long term mutual interest will be best served by affecting
a rapid and fair resolution of any claims or disputes which may arise
out of services performed under this Agreement or from any dispute
concerning the terms of this Agreement. Therefore, both Parties agree
to use their best efforts to resolve all such disputes as rapidly as
possible on a fair and equitable basis. Toward this end, both Parties
agree to develop and follow a process for presenting, rapidly
assessing, and settling claims on a fair and equitable basis that
takes into account the precise subject and nature of the dispute.
13.2 Dispute Resolution Panel. If any dispute or claim arising under this

construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of
Delaware without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions of
Delaware. The arbitration will be held in Wilmington, Delaware.
Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction and the Parties hereby consent to the said jurisdiction
and venue, and further irrevocably waive any objection which either
Party may have now or hereafter to the laying of venue of any
proceedings in said courts and to any claim that such proceedings have
been brought in an inconvenient forum, and further irrevocably agree
that a judgment or order in any such proceeding shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Parties and may be enforced in the courts of any
other jurisdiction.

determined by the following procedure.
10.1.1 Both Parties understand and appreciate that their long term
mutual interest will be best served by affecting a rapid and
fair resolution of any claims or disputes which may arise out of
services performed under this Agreement or from any dispute
concerning the terms of this Agreement. Therefore, both Parties
agree to use their reasonable best efforts to resolve all such
disputes as rapidly as practicable on a fair and equitable
basis. Toward this end, both Parties agree to develop and follow
a process for presenting, rapidly assessing, and settling claims
on a fair and equitable basis that takes into account the
precise subject and nature of the dispute.
10.1.2 If any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement cannot be
readily resolved by the Parties pursuant to the process
described above, then the Parties agree to refer the matter to a
panel consisting of the Chief Executive Officer of 3DP, and the
Senior Vice President of Early Discovery and Applied Technology
for BMS, or a comparable position selected by either Party from
time to time, for review and a non-binding resolution. A copy of
the terms of this Agreement, agreed upon facts (and areas of
disagreement), and concise summary of the basis for each side's
contentions will be provided to both such representatives who
shall review the same, confer, and attempt to reach a mutual
resolution of the issue.
10.1.3 If the matter has not been resolved utilizing the foregoing
process, and the Parties are unwilling to accept the non-binding
decision of the indicated panel, either or both Parties may
elect to pursue definitive resolution through binding
arbitration, which the Parties agree to accept in lieu of
litigation or other legally-available remedies (with the
exception of injunctive relief where such relief is necessary to
protect a Party from irreparable harm pending the outcome of any
such arbitration proceeding). Binding arbitration shall be
settled in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association by a panel of three
arbitrators chosen in accordance with these Rules. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to
the conflicts of laws provisions of Delaware. The arbitration
will be held in Wilmington, Delaware. Judgment upon the award
rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and the
Parties hereby consent to the said

jurisdiction and venue, and further irrevocably waive any
objection which either Party may have now or hereafter to
the laying of venue of any proceedings in said courts and to
any claim that such proceedings have been brought in an
inconvenient forum, and further irrevocably agree that a
judgment or order in any such proceeding shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Parties and may be enforced in the
courts of any other jurisdiction.
ARTICLE 11
INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Indemnification of 3DP. BMS shall indemnify and defend 3DP and
its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, agents
and counsel of 3DP and such Affiliates, and the successors and
assigns of any of the foregoing (the "3DP Indemnitees"), and
hold the 3DP Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all
losses resulting from any claim, suit or proceeding brought by
one or more Third Parties against a 3DP Indemnitee, arising from
or occurring as a result of the operations by BMS under the
DirectedDiversity(R) Patent Rights or the ThermoFluor(R)
Technology or use of the Instruments, or the discovery,
evaluation, manufacture, import, use, offer for sale or sale of
products developed in whole or in part through the operations by
BMS under the DirectedDiversity(R) Patent Rights and the
ThermoFluor(R) Technology or use of the Instruments, except to
the extent any such claim, suit or proceeding results from the
breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of 3DP.
11.2 Procedure. Any of the 3DP Indemnitees that intends to claim
indemnification under this Article 11 shall promptly notify BMS
(the "Indemnitor") in writing of any liability, damage, loss,
cost and/or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising out of Third Party claims or lawsuits in respect of
which the 3DP Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification,
and shall permit the Indemnitor to assume direction and control
of the defense of the claim (including the selection of counsel,
reasonably acceptable to the 3DP Indemnitee, and the right to
negotiate a settlement, at the discretion of the Indemnitor,
provided that such settlement does not impose any material
obligation or detriment on the 3DP Indemnitee), and shall
cooperate as requested (at the expense of the Indemnitor) in the
defense of the claim; provided, however, that a 3DP Indemnitee
shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees
and expenses to be paid by such 3DP Indemnitee. The failure to
deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable
time after the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial
to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve the
Indemnitor of any liability to the 3DP Indemnitee under this
Article 11. At the Indemnitor's request, the 3DP Indemnitee
under this Article 11, and its employees and agents, shall
cooperate

thereto.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

determined by the following procedure:
9.1.1 Both Parties understand and appreciate that their long term
mutual interest will be best served by affecting a rapid and
fair resolution of any claims or disputes which may arise out
of services performed under this Agreement or from any dispute
concerning the terms of this Agreement. Therefore, both Parties
agree to use their best efforts to resolve all such disputes as
rapidly as possible on a fair and equitable basis. Toward this
end, both Parties agree to develop and follow a process for
presenting, rapidly assessing, and settling claims on a fair
and equitable basis that takes into account the precise subject
and nature of the dispute.
9.1.2 If any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement cannot be
readily resolved by the Parties pursuant to the process
described above, then the Parties agree to refer the matter to
a panel consisting of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of
3DP and the Senior Vice President of Early Discovery and
Applied Technology for BMS, or a comparable position selected
by either Party from time to time, for review and a non-binding
resolution. A copy of the terms of this Agreement, agreed upon

basis for each side's contentions will be provided to both such
officers who shall review the same, confer, and attempt to
reach a mutual resolution of the issue.
9.1.3 If the matter has not been resolved utilizing the foregoing
process, and the Parties are unwilling to accept the non-
binding decision of the indicated panel, either or both Parties
may elect to pursue definitive resolution through binding
arbitration, which the Parties agree to accept in lieu of
litigation or other legally available remedies (with the
exception of injunctive relief where such relief is necessary
to protect a Party from irreparable harm pending the outcome of
any such arbitration proceeding). Binding arbitration shall be
settled in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association by a panel of three
arbitrators chosen in accordance with these Rules. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the substantive laws of the State of Delaware without regard to
the conflicts of laws provisions of Delaware. The arbitration

and binding upon the Parties and may be enforced in the courts
of any other jurisdiction.

this Agreement and for ten (10) years thereafter, either Party that
receives Confidential Information (a "Receiving Party") from the other
Party (a "Disclosing Party") shall keep, and shall take steps, not
fewer than it takes to protects its own valuable, proprietary
information, and not less than reasonable measures, to attempt to
ensure that its officers, directors and employees keep, confidential,
and shall not publish or otherwise disclose, and shall not use for any
purpose (except as expressly permitted hereunder) any Confidential
Information (including without limitation, Know-how) furnished to it
by its Disclosing Party pursuant to this Agreement.
7.2 Written Assurances and Permitted Uses of Confidential Information.
7.2.1 The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party's
Confidential Information to the extent the Receiving Party
is compelled to disclose such information by a judicial or
administrative authority of competent jurisdiction,
including but not limited to submitting information to tax
authorities or to comply with any discovery or similar
request for production of documents in litigation or similar
alternative dispute resolution proceedings, provided
however, that in such case, the Receiving Party shall timely
give notice to the Disclosing Party so that the Disclosing
Party may seek a protective order or other remedy from said
authority. In any event, the Receiving Party shall disclose
only that portion of the Confidential Information that, in
the opinion of its legal counsel, is legally required to be
disclosed, and will exercise reasonable efforts to ensure
that any such information so disclosed will be accorded
confidential treatment by said court or tribunal.
7.2.2 To the extent reasonably necessary or appropriate to fulfill
its obligations or exercise its rights hereunder, a Party
may disclose Confidential Information received from the

manuscript that contains a reference to or details of the 3DP PERT or
any Improvements for publication, BMS shall provide 3DP with such
manuscript for 3DP's reasonable review. BMS shall also promptly
provide 3DP with any updates or revisions to such manuscript. 3DP will
review each manuscript in a timely manner and shall release such
manuscript(s) to BMS, or may request BMS to make amendments or
substitutions to the manuscript, in order to delete 3DP's Confidential
Information. BMS will honor 3DP's reasonable request for such
amendment or substitution.
7.4 Permitted Disclosures for Business Development Purposes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, 3DP may describe the financial terms of
this Agreement in confidence, in connection with capital raising or
financing activities; provided, however, any such recipient of such
Confidential Information shall agree in writing to keep such terms
confidential for the same time periods and to an equivalent extent as
3DP is required to keep Confidential Information confidential under
this Agreement. Furthermore, BMS acknowledges that 3DP may be
obligated to disclose terms of this Agreement and make public a copy
of this Agreement in the event it files a registration statement with
respect to its shares or it becomes a public company as required by
applicable U.S. law; provided however, the terms of this Agreement and
the copy submitted to the applicable governmental agency shall be
redacted such that the extent of any such disclosure shall be limited
to that which in the reasonable opinion of 3DP's legal counsel is

or a substantial part of its property, or any case or
proceeding shall have been commenced or other action taken by
or against the other Party in bankruptcy or seeking
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up,
arrangement or readjustment of its debts or any other relief
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar act or law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in
effect, or there shall have been issued a warrant of
attachment, execution, restraint or similar process against
any substantial part of the property of the other Party, and
any such event shall have continued for ninety (90) days
undismissed, unbonded and undischarged.
9.5.2 All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this
Agreement by BMS or 3DP are, and shall otherwise be deemed to
be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy

Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement
of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Party hereto which is not a
party to such proceeding shall be entitled to a complete
duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such
intellectual property and all embodiments of such relevant
intellectual property, and same, if not already in their
possession, shall be promptly delivered to them (i) upon any
such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon their
written request therefor, unless the Party subject to such
proceedings elects to continue to perform all of their
obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered
under (i) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on
behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written
request therefor by a nonsubject Party.

10
transferred to it under this Agreement, whether in oral, written,
graphic or electronic form, and will cease all use of 3DP PERT;
provided, however, that BMS shall thereafter continue to have all
rights to use any information or results obtained by BMS from its use
of 3DP PERT during the term of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Indemnification of 3DP. BMS shall indemnify and defend 3DP and its
Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, agents and counsel
of 3DP and such Affiliates, and the successors and assigns of any of
the foregoing (the "3DP Indemnitees"), and hold the 3DP Indemnitees
harmless from and against any and all losses resulting from any claim,
suit or proceeding brought by one or more Third Parties against a 3DP
Indemnitee, arising from or occurring as a result of BMS's use of 3DP
PERT and/or its operations under the Licensed Patent Rights, or the
discovery, evaluation, manufacture, import, use, offer for sale or
sale of products developed in whole or in part through the use by BMS
of 3DP PERT, except to the extent any such claim, suit or proceeding
results from the breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement,
gross negligence or willful misconduct of 3DP. It is understood by
both Parties that the technology licensed hereunder is experimental,
that BMS is experienced in the handling of and appropriate precautions
to be practiced with experimental technology, and it will take all
appropriate precautions to prevent death, personal injury, illness,
and property damages related to the use thereof.
10.2 Procedure. Any of the 3DP Indemnitees that intends to claim
indemnification under this Article 10 shall promptly notify BMS (the
"Indemnitor") in writing of any loss in respect of which the 3DP
Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and shall permit the
Indemnitor to assume direction and control of the defense of the claim
(including the selection of counsel and the sole right to settle it at
the sole discretion of the Indemnitor, provided that such settlement
does not impose any material obligation or detriment on the 3DP
Indemnitee), and shall cooperate as requested (at the expense of the
Indemnitor) in the defense of the claim; provided, however, that a 3DP
Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the
fees and expenses to be paid by such 3DP Indemnitee. The failure to
deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time
after the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its
ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any
liability to the 3DP Indemnitee under this Article 10. At the
Indemnitor's request, the 3DP Indemnitee under this Article 10, and
its employees and agents, shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor
and its legal representatives in the investigation of any loss covered
by this indemnification and provide true, correct and complete
information with respect thereto.

Agreement or concerning the existence or validity hereof, shall be
determined by the following procedure:
11.11 Both Parties understand and appreciate that their long term
mutual interest will be best served by affecting a rapid and
fair resolution of any claims or disputes which may arise out
of services performed under this Agreement or from any dispute
concerning the terms of this Agreement. Therefore, both
Parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts to resolve
all such disputes as rapidly as practicable on a fair and
equitable basis. Toward this end, both Parties agree to
develop and follow a process for presenting, rapidly
assessing, and settling claims on a fair and equitable basis
that takes into account the precise subject and nature of the
dispute.
11.12 If any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement cannot be
readily resolved by the Parties pursuant to the process
described above, then the Parties agree to refer the matter to
a panel consisting of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of
3DP, and the Senior Vice President of Early Discovery and
Applied Technology for BMS, or a comparable position selected
by either Party from time to time, for review and a non-
binding resolution. A copy of the terms of this Agreement,
agreed upon facts (and areas of disagreement), and concise
summary of the basis for each side's contentions will be
provided to both such officers who shall review the same,
confer, and attempt to reach a mutual resolution of the issue.
11.13 If the matter has not been resolved utilizing the foregoing
process, and the Parties are unwilling to accept the non-
binding decision of the indicated panel, either or both
Parties may elect to pursue definitive resolution through
binding arbitration, which the Parties agree to accept in lieu
of litigation or other legally-available remedies (with the
exception of injunctive relief where such relief is necessary
to protect a Party from irreparable harm pending the outcome
of any such arbitration proceeding). Binding arbitration shall

of the American Arbitration Association by a panel of three
arbitrators chosen in accordance with these Rules. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without
regard to the conflicts of laws provisions of Delaware. The
arbitration will be held in Wilmington, Delaware. Judgment
upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction and the Parties hereby consent to the said
jurisdiction and venue, and further irrevocably waive any
objection which either Party may have now or hereafter to the
laying of venue of any

further irrevocably agree that a judgment or order in any such
proceeding shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties
and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
