requests additional information from BMPI specific to a KNC filing for a
Commercial Product or Product, BMPI shall advise KNC of the estimated date
by which it will respond to such request, and the date that the response is
submitted. KNC will cooperate with BMPI to the extent KNC's participation
is reasonably necessary or appropriate in order for BMPI to procure such
Approval. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, KNC will make
available to BMPI, without charge, tangible written information in KNC's
possession and control that is required to prepare a submission for
Approval, as BMPI may reasonably request, and as is reasonably necessary to
obtain Approval. All information provided by KNC hereunder shall be
presented in a form which satisfies the requirements of applicable FDA and
other Regulatory Authority guidelines and/or regulations for such types of
submissions seeking Approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of
sensitive

confidential or proprietary manufacturing or other information in a Device
Master File or comparable document, KNC may instead agree to provide such
information directly to the FDA or other applicable regulatory body, as the
case may be, or to an independent third party agent of its choosing which
is reasonably acceptable to BMPI, and shall respond directly (or through
its independent agent) to any questions or inquiries from such agency or
body regarding the information. KNC shall provide to BMPI copies of any
written communications to or from the FDA or other Regulatory Authority,
and notify BMPI of any oral communications with the FDA or other Regulatory
Authority, relating to a Device Master File or other document filed with
such Regulatory Authority, promptly after any such communications are sent
or received, and redacted of any proprietary information. In the event FDA
or other Regulatory Authority requests additional information from KNC, KNC
shall advise BMPI of the estimated date by which it will respond to such
request, and the date that the response is submitted. In addition, KNC
shall have no duty to disclose any of its proprietary information to any
Regulatory Authority or any other party, unless the Regulatory Authority in
question provides for the protection of such proprietary information from
disclosure in a manner substantially similar to that provided by the FDA.
3.8 Additional Products. From time to time, the parties may agree to jointly
develop additional Product configurations to be used in future Commercial
Products. In such event, the parties shall update the Development Plan or
execute an addendum to this Agreement. Such update or addendum shall
describe the additional Commercial Product configurations and the
modifications to the Development Plan required to support the development
of such additional Product and Commercial Product configurations.

Forecast shall be accompanied by firm Purchase Orders to purchase
Product and shall be considered a purchase commitment ("Purchase
Commitment") and each subsequent Rolling Forecast's Purchase
Commitment shall not exceed the prior Purchase Commitment by more
than twenty five (25) percent. The final 9 months of any Rolling
Forecast (which do not constitute a "Purchase Commitment") may
not increase by more than twenty-five percent (25%) cumulatively.
An example of the maximum increase in forecast is attached as
Schedule E, for purposes of illustration only. BMPI may at any
time cancel all or any portion of any Purchase Commitment,
provided that BMPI reimburses KNC for inventory costs as required
under Section 4.5(f), which shall be KNC's sole remedy for BMPI's
cancellation.
f. reimburse KNC for any and all unrecovered inventory costs of raw
materials, components, and finished Product, should any such
inventory become obsolete or unusable in the manufacture of
Product (a) within a four month period subsequent to a Purchase
Order reduced by fifty (50%) percent or more or a cancelled
Purchase Order by BMPI, (b) in the event quantities of Product
under Purchase Orders provided by BMPI are less than fifty
percent (50%) of any Rolling Forecast for any three month period,
or (c) if such inventory becomes obsolete due to changes in
processing and/or Product Specifications caused solely by BMPI;
provided however that (i) should such changes in processing
and/or Product Specifications be the result of changes initiated
or necessitated by KNC, KNC shall not be reimbursed by BMPI, (ii)
KNC will attempt to minimize any losses associated with such
obsolete or unusable inventory, and (iii) KNC will reduce the
Transfer Price of any Product provided to BMPI that contains
inventory for which KNC has been reimbursed per
11
this Section 4.5(f), (iv) KNC raw material inventory and
purchases of same and its production scheduling shall be
consistent with the requirements of such Rolling Forecast;
g. be solely responsible for the cost of any Commercial Product and
Product redesign, which varies from the Product Specification
established prior to the First Commercial Sale. If a Product
redesign following the First Commercial Sale results in material
and labor costs either higher or lower from what is anticipated
in the Product Specification as established prior thereto,
Transfer Prices of the redesigned Product shall be adjusted
accordingly, provided, however, if any such redesign resulting in
higher costs is necessitated solely by KNC, all associated costs
will be born by KNC;
h. investigate diligently all adverse events of which BMPI has
knowledge or awareness, related to any application which
incorporates Commercial Product, and promptly report such
occurrences to KNC. BMPI shall be responsible for the cost and
execution of all medical device reporting ("MDR") in accordance
with 21 CFR Part 803 and all vigilance reporting required in the
markets where Commercial Products are sold;
i. provide to KNC any complaints BMPI receives relating to the
Commercial Product, including notice of any adverse events,
within three business days of their receipt;
j. fund sterilization validations where: (1) Product manufactured
and sterilized by KNC contains PDGF as a component of the final
manufacturing process; or (2) the sterilization validation
requirements include the sterilization by KNC of the PDGF or
packaging materials directly in contact with the PDGF. Such
funding shall include the cost of follow-up audits and shipping
studies required by a Regulatory Authority of any final Product
configuration., In addition, such funding shall be subject to
separate negotiation between the parties, regarding the price,
responsibility, and extent thereof;
k. except as otherwise set forth herein, be solely responsible for
all necessary Approvals to market the Commercial Products
including any re-approvals required due to, among other things,
drawing and specification changes; and
1. include reference to KNC's role as the manufacturer and developer
on all packaging of Products and Commercial Products and any
marketing materials related thereto, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to KNC and consistent with applicable
regulatory requirements.

5. ORDERING, PRICE AND PAYMENTS
5.1 Initial Transfer Price. BMPI shall pay the Transfer Price listed in
Schedule D for each Product, for the Commercial Products developed under
the Development Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Product forecasted in
advance and specified for use as **. No royalty payments as described in
Section 6.2 will be due on materials provided for use as demonstration,
training, or non-saleable samples.
5.2 Transfer Price Adjustment. Except as provided in 4.5(g), the Transfer
Prices may be adjusted from time to time throughout the Term of the
Agreement for factors such as, but not limited to, changes in raw material
costs, labor costs, regulatory costs, or product liability costs., However,
such adjustment shall not exceed, unless otherwise agreed, the consumer
price index for the Philadelphia metropolitan area, as published by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If price adjustments
are related to changes in the Product Specifications requested by BMPI, KNC
will propose new pricing which will be negotiated in good faith and will be
effective immediately upon shipment of Products meeting the new Product
Specifications. Such pricing adjustments will occur no more than annually
by so notifying BMPI in writing. KNC shall include in its notification a
detailed justification for all adjustments. Such adjusted Transfer Price
shall be reflected in any KNC invoices issued for Product shipped after the
date of adjustment.
5.3 Purchase Orders. BMPI shall provide KNC with firm written purchase orders
("Purchase Orders") for Product in accordance with the lead-times set forth
in Product Specifications and consistent with Purchase Commitments;
provided, that BMPI shall have the right, with reasonable lead-times prior
to the date of manufacture, and with the consent of KNC which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, to issue binding, written change orders to increase
or decrease the quantity of such Purchase Orders provided that any such
changes comport with Section 4.5(e), herein. BMPI agrees to accept partial
shipments of Product should it, for any commercially reasonable reason,
become necessary to ship in advance of order completion. KNC shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any reasonable revisions to
Purchase Order requirements that exceed the permitted revisions allowed
under Section 4.5(e).
5.4 Acknowledgment. Within five (5) business days after receipt of a written
Purchase Order from BMPI, KNC shall acknowledge such receipt in writing and
confirm whether the order can be supplied, delivery dates, and
destinations.
5.5 Review of Rolling Forecast. Within fifteen (15) business days after receipt
of a Rolling Forecast, KNC shall notify BMPI of any prospective problems
that KNC is aware of which are likely to prevent KNC from meeting BMPI's
forecasted requirements.
5.6 Shipping. KNC shall ship Product to the location(s) designated by BMPI
F.O.B. Exton, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the shipment packaging
materials and shipping method specified by BMPI. BMPI shall pay the actual
documented cost of shipping Product to BMPI facilities. BMPI shall be
responsible for all insurance, custom's charges and taxes related to
shipping and the distribution of the Product. Title to and risk of loss for
all Product sold hereunder shall pass from

TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 406 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED.
KNC to BMPI at the time of loading for shipment at KNC's facility. BMPI
shall determine shipping method and shall bear full responsibility for its
shipping method choice for Product.
5.7 Invoices. KNC shall invoice (net 30 day terms) BMPI for the aggregate
Product and any Commercial Product, which it manufactures, upon shipment to
BMPI, and BMPI shall pay each invoice within such thirty (30) day period.
KNC may impose a late payment service charge of 1.5% per month on invoices
not paid when due. All payments shall be in United States currency.
6. ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS AND REPORTING
6.1 Milestone Payments. BMPI agrees to make the following Milestone Payments to
KNC:

TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 406 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED.
l. ** upon the one-year anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of
the first Approved Commercial Product for tendon or ligament
injury treatment.
If BMPI (i) fails to make any Milestone Payment within forty-five (45) days
of the occurrence of the specified event, and (ii) does not cure such
failure to pay within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of such failure
from KNC, KNC will have the option but not the obligation to terminate this
Agreement. Upon such termination, KNC shall be relieved of all obligations
to BMPI under this Agreement.
6.2 Royalties. BMPI shall pay KNC a quarterly royalty of ** of the Net Sales of
the Commercial Products (the "Royalty"), with such Royalty being
consideration for the incorporation of KNC's Intellectual Property,
including patents, and Know How. Such Royalty shall only be due on the
Commercial Product, whether sold in combination or packaged separately. No
Royalty shall be due on additional components that may be combined with the
Commercial Product to form a bundled product.
6.3 Reports and Accounting. BMPI will report preliminary sales quantities and
dollars with respect to its sales of the Commercial Products on a monthly
basis, within ten (10) business days of the end of each calendar month. In
addition, BMPI shall deliver to KNC, within forty-five (45) days after the
end of each calendar quarter, reasonably detailed written accountings of
Net Sales of Commercial Product for such calendar quarter and units sold
during such quarter. Such quarterly reports shall indicate, on a country by
country basis, (i) Gross Sales, (ii) Net Sales and (iii) Net Sales Price
for the Commercial Products. When BMPI delivers such accounting to KNC, it
shall also deliver any payments coming due under this Article 6 during such
calendar quarter.
6.4 Review of Records. BMPI shall keep complete and accurate records of the
latest three (3) years relating to Net Sales. For the sole purpose of
verifying payments hereunder, KNC shall have the right annually, at KNC's
expense, to review such records in the location(s) where such records are
maintained by BMPI upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours
and under obligations of confidence as provided in Article 9. If a review
reflects an underpayment, such underpayment shall be promptly remitted by
BMPI to the KNC. If the underpayment is equal to or greater than five
percent (5%) of the amount that was otherwise due, BMPI agrees that it
shall pay all of the costs of such review.
6.5 Currency and Method of Payments; Late Payments. All payments under this
Agreement shall be made in United States dollars by transfer to such bank
account as KNC may designate from time to time. Any payments due hereunder
with respect to sales outside of the United States shall be payable in U.S.
Dollars; provided, however, that if any payment applied to BMPI's Net
Sales is received by BMPI in a foreign currency, such amount shall be
converted monthly to United States funds at the rate published by Reuters
on the last Wednesday of the month in which such Net Sales occurred (or
such other publicly available source as BMPI may subsequently utilize
generally in its currency accounting procedures, in which case BMPI shall
provide notice to KNC promptly of any such change).

AMENDED.
6.6 Tax Withholding. BMPI shall use all reasonable and legal efforts to reduce
required tax withholding on payments made to KNC hereunder. Notwithstanding
such efforts, if BMPI reasonably concludes that tax withholdings under the
laws of any country are required with respect to payments to KNC, it shall
withhold the required amount and pay it to the appropriate Governmental
Authority, and shall promptly provide KNC with original receipts or other
evidence reasonably required and sufficient to allow KNC to document such
tax withholdings adequately for purposes of claiming foreign tax credits
and similar benefits.
7. QUALITY CONTROL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
7.1 Each delivery of Product or Commercial Product manufactured by KNC shall be
accompanied by KNC's Certificate of Conformance and Certificate of
Analysis, the generic form of which is attached as Schedule F.
7.2 Except as provided herein, BMPI shall accept all Product, and Commercial
Product manufactured by KNC, delivered in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. BMPI may reject:
(i) all or any portion of any shipment of product if such shipment
does not conform in any material respect with the Product
Specifications, or
(ii) a shipment that is less than eighty five percent (85%) of the
quantities requested in the Purchase Order (except as specified in
4.4(c)), or
(iii) any portion of the shipment in excess of the quantities
requested in the Purchase Order if such shipment exceeds such ordered
quantities by more than fifteen percent (15%).
In order to reject a shipment or portion thereof, BMPI must within thirty
(30) days of receipt of shipment provide KNC with a statement of rejection
which:
(i) gives KNC a reasonably detailed statement of BMPI's reasons for
rejection, and
(ii) provides KNC with product samples demonstrating the purported
nonconformance, and
(iii) requests that KNC either remedy or provide a reasonable plan to
promptly remedy such nonconformance.
If no such statement is received by KNC then BMPI shall be deemed to have
accepted the shipment of product. In the event of timely rejection by BMPI,
KNC shall, within five (5) business days after receipt thereof, notify BMPI
whether it accepts BMPI's notice of nonconformity or it shall be deemed to
accept such notice. However, if KNC disagrees with any purported
nonconformity by BMPI, then both parties agree to cooperate in good faith
and make every reasonable effort to resolve the disagreement. If KNC
confirms BMPI's rejection, KNC shall, at its sole expense and option, and
in a reasonably prompt manner, either replace the nonconforming Product or
Commercial Product with conforming Product or Commercial Product, or refund
to BMPI the purchase price
16
thereof or credit such amounts if not already paid. No product shall be
returned to KNC without KNC's written prior permission, and then only in a
manner and to the destination prescribed by KNC. In no event shall KNC be
liable to BMPI for special, indirect, or consequential damages. KNC shall
provide written instructions for disposition of rejected product and cover
all associated disposal or return shipping costs within thirty (30) days.
7.3 If the parties hereto fail to agree as to whether a delivered quantity of
Product meets its agreed Product Specifications, then the parties shall
cooperate to have the Product in dispute analyzed by a qualified
independent testing laboratory jointly selected by KNC and BMPI. The
following provisions shall apply with respect to the results indicated by
such independent laboratory:
a. If the Product is determined to have met its Product
Specifications, then BMPI shall bear the costs of the independent
laboratory testing and shall accept the shipment of such Product
and promptly pay for such Product if not yet paid; or
b. If the Product is determined not to meet its Product
Specifications, then KNC promptly shall bear the cost to replace
the affected quantity, or refund amounts paid or credit such
amounts if not yet paid, as outlined in Section 7.2(a) and KNC
shall bear the costs of the independent laboratory testing.
7.4 In the event of an audit by a Regulatory Authority at BMPI which involves
any Commercial Product, BMPI shall notify KNC of such audit promptly after
receiving notice thereof, but no less than within one week thereof.
Pursuant to such notice of audit, KNC shall supply BMPI with quality
control documents related to the Product portion of the Commercial Product,
within three business days from a request by BMPI (or alternatively, KNC
shall agree to provide any proprietary information directly to such agency
or body within three business days, and shall respond to any inquiries
regarding such information with such Regulatory Authority).
7.5 KNC shall promptly notify BMPI whenever a request for a plant inspection is
received from the FDA or other Regulatory Authority that relates in any way
to Product or Commercial Product, and shall promptly advise BMPI of any
scheduled or unscheduled Product or Commercial Product related FDA or other
Regulatory Authority inspection and the results thereof. A copy of Form 483
observations or other applicable reports, which apply to Product or
Commercial Product and are redacted as deemed necessary by KNC to protect
proprietary information, shall be supplied to BMPI upon its request, within
three business days of the request. KNC, at KNC's sole expense, shall
promptly take steps to remedy any valid deficiencies found by the FDA or
other Regulatory Authority inspectors relating to the manufacture,
sterilization and packaging of Product or Commercial Product, and to
respond in writing to the Form 483 observations. KNC shall provide BMPI
with a copy of its responses to any Form 483 observations relating to the
Products or Commercial Products in advance of their submission to FDA,
redacted of any proprietary information, and shall notify BMPI of the date
such responses are filed with the FDA.
7.6 In the event that either KNC or BMPI determines that a recall of any one or
more Commercial Product is necessary for any reason, KNC or BMPI, as
applicable, shall so notify the other party in writing. BMPI shall not
conduct a voluntary recall of Commercial Product without prior full
consultation with KNC regarding the ramifications, costs and regulatory
strategies associated with
17
such a recall; provided however that BMPI shall have full discretion,
authority and responsibility to conduct a recall.
7.7 BMPI and KNC shall assist and cooperate with each other in giving effect to
any "Recall," as that term is defined in 21 CFR 810.2. KNC shall be
responsible for the cost of Commercial Product and Product replacements of
any Recall caused by KNC's shipment of Products or Commercial Products that
did not meet Product Specifications and the costs associated with return
and reshipment including, without limitation, any costs associated with the
shipment and reshipment and replacement of such Commercial Products and
Products. KNC shall have no other obligations with respect to such Recalls,
except as may be provided for in Section 15.1. BMPI shall, however, bear
all costs and expenses of any recall caused by Commercial Product design,
selection of materials, misrepresentations (including deceptive or
misleading advertising or sales practices) or other acts causing a Recall
to occur, including, without limitation, costs of notifying customers and
costs associated with the shipment and reshipment and replacement of such
Commercial Products.
7.8 KNC shall provide BMPI (or a third party designated by BMPI) access to its
sites and quality system records for the purpose of auditing and reviewing
the sites for compliance with the requirements (the "Review") of Section
4.4(d). Any information obtained by BMPI as a result of such Review shall
be subject to the provisions of Article 9 hereof. Such Review shall be made
during regular business hours, with at least thirty (30) days notice, and
such Review may be conducted no more frequently than once per calendar
year, and one time during the twelve (12) months following any Termination
or expiration hereof. KNC shall respond to any findings under such Review
in writing within thirty (30) days, unless otherwise agreed; additionally,
BMPI shall have the right to re-Review any specific records to establish
that any findings have been corrected. To the extent that KNC reasonably
believes that providing BMPI with access to such sites would compromise
KNC's obligations of confidentiality to third parties or require the
disclosure of trade secrets, KNC shall grant such access to an independent
third party designated by BMPI in its reasonable discretion, and reasonably
acceptable to KNC, to conduct such audit. Any report furnished by such
third party to BMPI shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9 herein
and KNC shall have the right to review any such report and redact any
information it deems a trade secret or the disclosure of which would
violate such confidentiality obligations, prior to the release of said
report to BMPI.
7.9 KNC shall cooperate with BMPI to provide any authorizations, documents,
information, testing protocols and procedures in KNC's possession subject
to Sections 3.6, 3.7 and 7.8, or take such other actions, which BMPI may
reasonably request in order to obtain or maintain any registration,
approval, clearance, certification or other authorization with or from any
federal, state, local or foreign government agency or any self-regulatory
body (or alternatively, KNC shall agree to provide any proprietary
information directly to such agency or body in the form of a Device Master
File or comparable document, and shall respond directly to any inquiries
regarding such information with such agency or body in accordance with
Section 3.6). BMPI agrees to fund information development and preparation,
should such information not be in KNC's possession or readily available.
7.10 Each party shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records necessary
for regulatory compliance for a period of at least five (5) years after the
expected life of the Commercial Product
18
or Product or ten (10) years from the date of creation (whichever is less),
including all records that ensure the ability to perform complete lot
tracing of Commercial Products.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
8.1 KNC and BMPI acknowledge the exclusive right, title, interest and goodwill
in and to each trademark, trade name or other Intellectual Property right
owned by the other party. Neither KNC nor BMPI will, at any time or in any
way, do or cause to be done any act, or omission, or thing to challenge,
contest or in any way impair the right, title, and interest of the other
party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, KNC and BMPI shall
not in any manner represent that either has any rights in or to any
trademark, trade name or other Intellectual Property right of the other
party and each acknowledges that the permitted use of any trademark, trade
name or other Intellectual Property right of the other shall not create any
ownership right, title, or interest in or to any trademark, trade name or
other Intellectual Property right of the other party.
8.2 It is anticipated that during the Term of the Agreement, one or more
inventions will be made by one or both of the parties hereto within the
Field of the Agreement and in furtherance of performance under this
Agreement. Inventorship of all such inventions shall be determined in
accordance with the patent laws of the United States without regard to the
jurisdiction where such inventions or rights thereto exists, were
conceived, discovered, created, made, developed, reduced to practice or
otherwise perfected. Inventions made solely by persons employed or owing a
duty to assign to BMPI shall be owned solely by BMPI. Inventions made
solely by persons employed or owing a duty to assign to KNC shall be owned
solely by KNC. Inventions made jointly by one or more persons from each of
BMPI and KNC, that is, at least one inventor from each party as defined by
USPTO procedures, shall be considered to be joint inventions and are to be
subject to the following Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5.
8.3 Once a joint invention has been identified, the parties shall meet and
confer with a view toward determining the best way to protect and exploit
such invention. The parties shall at all times proceed in good faith in
this undertaking and shall determine which of the two parties is in the
best position to effect application and prosecution of patents arising from
such inventions. The party decided upon as being most appropriate to
control submission and prosecution of patents for an invention shall have
the obligation to secure appropriate U.S. and international patent
protection. Apportionment of costs attendant to such protection shall also
be decided. In determining the appropriate party to control patent
submission and prosecution related to a joint invention, the parties shall
be mindful of the commercial capabilities of the parties to bring the
invention to the marketplace. The likelihood that FDA or other regulatory
approval may be needed in order to secure commercialization shall also be a
factor considered in this evaluation. In general, though not in absolute,
improvements to each party's existing Intellectual Property in the form of
continuations or continuations-in-part to filed, patent applications or
issued patents shall be owned and assigned to such existing Intellectual
Property's owner. Each party will, if reasonably requested, sign all
documents and do all acts and deeds necessary or desirable to perfect the
rights of joint inventions.
8.4 Notwithstanding any other clause of this Agreement, any Intellectual
Property arising out of this Agreement, where jointly developed by BMPI and
KNC, regardless of whether letters patent are applied for or received by
one party or the other (the "Joint IP"), shall be deemed to be jointly
19
owned and available for use to both BMPI and KNC; however, such use shall
be royalty-free and (i) co-exclusive (usable only with each other) in the
Field and (ii) non-exclusive outside the Field, subject to a proprietary
rights limitation (the "Right(s) Limitation"), wherein either party shall
grant an exclusive limited license for use outside the Field in any Joint
IP to the other party, subject to the following Rights Limitation: BMPI
shall have the exclusive royalty-free right to use the Joint IP to the
extent that the Joint IP covers, protects, or claims, the use of the then
existing Proprietary Molecule, and wherein KNC shall have the exclusive
royalty-free right to use the Joint IP to the extent that the Joint IP
covers, protects, or claims, the use of the Material.
8.5 In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon how control and
exploitation of a joint invention shall be accomplished, the parties agree
to submit the matter to non-binding mediation. Such mediation, if required,
shall be undertaken by a single individual, jointly agreed upon by KNC and
BMPI, who is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office, who is skilled in the chemical, biological and medical arts, and
who is familiar with whatever regulatory considerations attend the field
most closely related to the invention in question. The fees for such
mediator shall be shared equally by the parties. No written record of the
mediation shall be kept save as the same is reflected in the ensuing
control and exploitation agreement.
8.6 BMPI and KNC will each be individually responsible for prosecuting and
defending against patent infringement lawsuits with regard to their
respective patent positions. The costs of defense of any patent resulting
from a joint invention shall be borne equally by both parties if both
parties shared in the prosecution expenses for same, and the rewards shall
be shared equally. Any party not contributing to such costs for defense of
a joint invention shall forfeit its right to any reward.
9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
9.1 The parties agree:
a. To receive and hold all Confidential Information in strict
confidence and to disclose such Confidential Information only to
its employees and representatives who have a need to know the
Confidential Information. Without affecting the generality of the
foregoing, the Receiving Party will exercise no less care to
safeguard the Confidential Information than it exercises in
safeguarding its own Confidential Information and will be
responsible for any breach of the provisions of Article 9 by its
employees and representatives (including its employees who,
subsequent to the first disclosure of Confidential Information,
become former employees);
b. That the Receiving Party shall not, directly or indirectly,
disclose or use the Confidential Information, in whole or in
part, for any purposes other than those contemplated herein.
Without affecting the generality of the foregoing, the Receiving
Party shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose any such
Confidential Information to any third party or use the
Confidential Information for the benefit of any third party;
c. That neither party shall, without the prior written consent of
the other party, disclose to any third party Confidential
Information and or any of the terms, conditions or other facts
with respect to the business relationship of the parties. Any
approved disclosure made shall be
20
no more extensive than is necessary to meet the minimum
requirement imposed on the party making such disclosure;
d. That money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for a breach of
this Article 9 and that the non-breaching party may be entitled
to equitable relief (including, but not limited to, a temporary
restraining order or an injunction or specific performance),
without posting bond or establishing monetary damages, in the
event of any breach of the provisions of this Article 9;
e. The furnishing of Confidential Information hereunder shall not
constitute or be construed as a grant of any express or implied
license or other right, or a covenant not to xxx or forbearance
from any other right of action by the Disclosing Party to the
Receiving Party under any of the Disclosing Party's patents or
other Intellectual Property rights;
f. Upon the Disclosing Party's request at any time, or upon
termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Receiving Party
shall immediately return or destroy all written, graphic and
other tangible forms of the Confidential Information (and all
copies thereof) in the Receiving Party's possession or control
except for one copy which may be retained by the party's legal
counsel for legal archival purposes only; and
g. The obligations of the Receiving Party regarding disclosure and
use of Confidential Information shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and shall continue for five (5) years after the
date of termination of this Agreement.
10. PUBLICITY
10.1 During the Term and thereafter, except as required by applicable law,
neither party shall, without securing the prior written consent of the
other party, release the terms of this Agreement to any third party or
publicly announce the terms of this Agreement. During the Term and
thereafter, either party may disclose the existence and general nature of
this Agreement in press releases, shareholder reports, quarterly and annual
corporate reports, Securities and Exchange Commission filings and public or
private equity offerings. In addition, either party may provide a copy of
this Agreement as part of a due diligence review in connection with a
merger, an acquisition, or a public or private equity offering, so long as
such review is under the auspices of an appropriate confidentiality
agreement. Any announcements, press releases or similar publicity with
respect to the execution of this Agreement or the transfer of monies
including royalty and milestone payments shall be agreed upon among the
parties in advance of such announcement, and shall not include information
that either party reasonably deems inappropriate for disclosure.
11. WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS
11.1 Subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 11.1 and Section 11.7,
KNC warrants: (i) that all Product delivered hereunder shall conform in all
material respects to Product Specifications at the time of shipment; (ii)

and (iii) that no Product, or Commercial Product
21
manufactured by KNC, delivered hereunder shall at time of shipment be
adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act, or within the
meaning of any applicable state or municipal law in which the definitions
of adulteration and misbranding are substantially the same as those
contained in the Act, provided such laws are constituted and effective at
the time of such delivery (collectively, the "Product Warranties"). These
Product Warranties shall be null and void and shall not apply to any
Product, or Commercial Product manufactured by KNC, which is in any way
altered, modified, damaged or replaced by any person other than KNC or
which is abused or misused, whether intentionally or accidentally.
11.2 BMPI and KNC each represent and warrant that, with respect to their
respective Intellectual Property contributed to the development and
manufacture of Commercial Products hereunder, the development, manufacture,
use or sales of any Commercial Product manufactured according to Product
Specifications will not knowingly constitute or create an infringement of
any United States or non-United States patent, copyright, trademark or
other proprietary right or trade secret, be it registered or otherwise,
arising under federal, state or other law and/or regulation.
11.3 BMPI represents and warrants that it is and will remain in material
compliance with all applicable laws and Regulatory Authorities and
governmental Approvals affecting the use, possession, distribution,
labeling, advertising and all forms of promotion in connection with the

representatives will use their best efforts to not use or make any
deceptive, misleading, manipulative or intentionally or recklessly
inaccurate marketing or advertising materials, packaging, presentations or
statements.
11.4 Each party represents and warrants that it is and will remain in material
compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations
and orders as they may apply to this Agreement.
11.5 KNC and BMPI each represent and warrant for itself that (i) it is duly
incorporated and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the state of its incorporation, (ii) it has the full right, power, and
authority to execute and perform this Agreement, (iii) this Agreement does
not conflict with or otherwise result in a breach of any agreement to which
such party is a party or to which it is bound, and (iv) this Agreement
represents a valid, legally binding obligation of it, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms.
11.6 EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY MADE IN THIS ARTICLE 11, NEITHER PARTY

from: (i) the failure of KNC to ship Product, or Commercial Product
Manufactured by KNC, that meets the Product Specifications or that is not
manufactured in compliance with QSR or other applicable laws and
regulations; (ii) any KNC breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or
obligation in this Agreement; (iii) the infringement or misappropriation of
any patent, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary right for a
Product, or Commercial Product Manufactured by KNC, based on the
Intellectual Property of KNC; or (iv) any gross negligence, recklessness or
wrongful intentional acts or omissions of KNC or its representatives,
directors, officers, employees and agents, in connection with the

trials or otherwise) or Commercial Product, whether used singly or in
combination with other products, which resulted in harm, injury or death of
any person, subject to KCN providing Product that met the specifications
established for the Product, (iii) any BMPI breach of a representation,
warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement; (iv) the infringement
or misappropriation of any patent trade secret, copyright, or other
proprietary right for a Commercial Product based on the Intellectual
Property of BMPI (v) any gross negligence, recklessness or wrongful
intentional acts or omissions of BMPI or its representatives, directors,
officers, employees and agents, in connection with the activities
contemplated under this Agreement, including without limitation any
deceptive, misleading, manipulative or intentionally or recklessly
inaccurate marketing or advertising practices; or (vi) BMPI's advertising,
promoting, marketing, distributing and selling activities of Commercial
Product that are not in accordance with law or regulation, in each case,
only to the extent such Claims listed in Section 15.2 (i - iv) are not (a)
due to the gross negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or
omissions of a KNC Indemnified Party, or (b) otherwise subject to
indemnification under Section 15.1.
15.3 To receive the indemnities contained in this Section 15, the party entitled
to indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") must provide the
party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnifying
Party") with (i) reasonably prompt notice in writing of any such Claim or
action, (ii) information and reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying
Party's expense, as necessary or appropriate to defend or settle such Claim
or action, and (iii) full authority to defend or settle the Claim or suit.
The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and
participate in the defense of any Claim or action, at its own expense.
Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 15.3, the
Indemnified Party may not settle any Claim or action under this Section 15
on behalf of the Indemnifying Party without first obtaining the
Indemnifying Party's written permission, and so long as the Indemnifying
Party is diligently conducting a defense as provided herein, it shall not
be liable for the attorneys' fees or expenses of the Indemnified Party. If
an Indemnified Party provides notice of a Claim that is subject to
indemnification in accordance herewith and is not notified within ten (10)
days that the Indemnifying Party intends to defend such Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to defend, settle and/or compromise
such Claim, subject to the indemnification provided for herein. Nothing in
this provision, however, shall permit either party to enter into a
settlement that imposes an obligation on the other party requiring them to
take any affirmative action or refrain from any act, unless such other
party consents to such settlement.
16. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

of any other subsequent breach of the Agreement. The waiver of any
provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver of
that provision or a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.

provision of this Agreement.
16.9 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable or deemed in default for

this Agreement where such failure has been directly or indirectly caused by
any act of God, fire, war, or any other cause outside the reasonable
control of that party, and occurring without its fault or negligence,
including without limitation, delivery of nonconforming or defective
material or equipment, interruptions of transportation or happening of
unforeseen acts of misfortune, or casualty by which performance hereunder

interrupted shall give the other party prompt notice of the interruption
and the cause thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to

negotiation any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or
relating to this Agreement. Any party may initiate negotiations
by providing written notice in letter form to the other party,
setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief
requested. The recipient of such notice will respond in writing
within five (5) business days with a statement of its position on
and recommended solution to the dispute. If the dispute is not
resolved by this exchange of correspondence, then representatives
of each party with full settlement authority will meet at a
mutually agreeable time and place within ten (10) business days
of the date of the initial notice in order to exchange relevant
information and perspectives, and to attempt to resolve the
dispute. If the dispute is not resolved by these negotiations,
the matter will be submitted to the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") for resolution.

then-current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. Judgment on any
arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof and shall be final and binding upon the parties.
27
c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 16.10
shall be construed as limiting in any way the right of a party to
seek injunctive relief with respect to any actual or threatened
breach of this Agreement from a court of competent jurisdiction.
16.11 Remedies. Unless otherwise expressly stated, any remedy expressly provided
for herein shall not be deemed to be a limitation on any remedy for any
