7.6 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 the same extent as 3DP

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

ARTICLE 9
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
9.1 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:
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
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.
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
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

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

indemnify and hold the other Party, its trustees, officers, agents,

willful misconduct of the indemnified Party. BMS acknowledges and
agrees that, with respect to the nature of the Proteomica(TM)
Database, there may be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of
BMS's obligations under the security provisions of this Agreement,
that any such breach may result in irreparable harm to 3DP, and
therefore, that upon any such breach, 3DP may be entitled to seek
appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it might

other relief as 3DP may request to enjoin or otherwise restrain any
act prohibited hereby, as well as the recovery of all costs and

liabilities, damages and expenses (including attorneys' fees and

indemnification by 3DP from any losses, liabilities, damages and
expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) in connection with any
Third Party infringement action arising with respect to BMS's use of
the Proteomica(TM) Database as it may pertain to claims that the
