2. DEVELOPMENT OF ROD
2.1 Purpose. ROD will be designed to accomplish the following three major
-------
objectives: (a) provide a neutral, respected outcomes database that offers
timely information, comprehensive data analysis and timely reports to
Participants and Lilly about interventional cardiology procedures and outcomes
with a focus on the clinical use of ReoPro in a clinical setting; and (b)
provide a flexible system that permits Participant's Data to be entered through
the Web Site on-line either manually or through a download from other standard
data collection systems of a Participant, such as hemodynamic equipment.
2.2 Development of ROD and Summit Software. Summit will create ROD as a
--------------------------------------
sub-database of the ART Registry and any Summit Software necessary to implement
ROD at the Participants' sites. Lilly and the Advisory Team shall identify the
specific data elements required to be included in ROD and Summit shall ensure
the proper systems are in place to permit the collection and processing of those
data elements. Changes to data elements of ROD during the Pilot Project shall
be made only upon the mutual agreement of Lilly and Summit, which agreement
shall not be unreasonably withheld by either party. Summit will develop the
Summit Software as required hereunder to enable the Participants to input
Participant's Data into ROD.
2.3 Development of Web Site. Summit will create, with design input from
-----------------------
Lilly and the Advisory Team, the Web Site. The Web Site will be stored at
Summit's facilities and Summit shall establish and register its domain name.
Summit shall own all right, title and interest, including copyrights, in and to
the Web Site.
2.4 Collection and Security of Participant's Data. Collection of the
---------------------------------------------
Participant's Data to be included in ROD from Participants will be done on-line
through the Web Site, using the Summit Software. Summit will use commercially
reasonably efforts to ensure the confidentiality of all data collected through
the Web Site by use of digital signatures and encryption software. Summit will
maintain ROD at its facilities, and will use commercially reasonably efforts to
ensure that ROD is held at the C2 security level required for all secure
government systems. The parties acknowledge that the level of security Summit
can implement may be restricted by applicable export restrictions of the United
States.
2.5 Data Harvests and Reports. The data contained in ROD will be
-------------------------
harvested on a monthly basis and analyzed by Summit to produce the Reports,
-3-
which will be distributed in a timely manner to Lilly, but at least monthly.
-----
Summit and Lilly will define, with assistance from the Advisory Team as
described herein, the format, layout and required content for the Reports.
Lilly and the Advisory Team will work with Summit to identify the specific data
and required analysis to be included in the Reports. In addition, at Lilly's
request, Summit will prepare or have prepared any special reports containing
multi-variable regression data analysis or other advanced analysis and reporting
not provided for in the Reports ("Special Reports"). Special Reports may be
prepared at additional expense to Lilly, charged at Summit's then current fees.
All Lilly Reports shall be provided in a non-editable format, such as Adobe
Acrobat, as well as in Word for Windows format. Additionally, for audit and
documentation purposes, Summit shall be able to demonstrate how any analysis was
produced and the source of the information contained in that analysis (e.g.,
source datasets and programs used to produce the analysis); provided however,
----------------
Summit shall not be required to provide any proprietary information of a third
party (e.g. proprietary algorithms). Summit must be able to demonstrate that
reporting programs have undergone testing to ensure accurate output from the
programs. Other reports pertinent to Participants' sites will be generated for
Participants, as provided in the Participation Agreement. Standard reports,
those which do not fall within the above definition of a Special Report, shall
be prepared for Participants on a monthly basis at no additional cost to Lilly
or Participants. Special Reports requested by Participants shall be prepared
only upon approval by Lilly and at the expense of the requesting Participant.
2.6 Adverse Event Reporting. Summit will design ROD to include an Adverse
-----------------------
Event reporting system reasonably acceptable to Lilly, that provides Lilly
notification of Adverse Events related to ReoPro within forty-eight (48) hours
after such event is entered in ROD by a Participant. Summit shall contractually
obligate through the Participation Agreement and train the Participants to
immediately report to Summit all Adverse Events including, without limitation,
(i) those which involve Subject deaths, (ii) those which involve non-elective
hospitalization or extension of hospitalization of Subjects, (iii) those which
are life threatening, (iv) those which are permanently disabling, (v) a
congenital abnormality, (vi) cancer, and (vii) a drug overdose. Summit shall
capture such Adverse Events as part of ROD. Additionally, Summit shall notify
Lilly of any and all Adverse Events which meet the referenced criteria above, by
(1) telephone, immediately upon first receiving notification; and (2) facsimile,
including all relevant available data, within forty-eight (48) hours of first
receiving notification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this reporting system
will not, and is not intended to, be a substitute for any required reporting of
Adverse Events to governmental agencies by Lilly or the Participants, and Summit
shall not assume any such responsibility on behalf of Lilly or any third party
by including the reporting system in ROD.
2.7 Use of Names and Trademarks. Neither party shall use the names and/or
---------------------------
trademarks of the other party for any purpose, including, without limitation,
-4-
advertising, press releases, or third party communication, without prior written
approval, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Summit shall be entitled to
identify Lilly as a client in client lists.

License Agreement between Summit and Participant, dated ____________ ("License
Agreement") and whose business address is at: __________________________________
IT IS AGREED:
1. Participation.
-------------
1.1 Participant hereby agrees to participate in the ReoPro Outcomes
Database ("ROD") sponsored by Xxx Xxxxx and Company ("Lilly") in accordance with
this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the License Agreement, Participant
will provide Summit with the Patient Information required for the ROD via the
Summit Web Site on a monthly basis. Participant will use reasonable efforts to
ensure that data is entered into ROD within 30 days of a patients' procedure or
visit PARTICIPANT WARRANTS THAT ALL PATENT INFORMATION SHALL BE ACCURATE AND
COMPLETE, AND THAT PARTICIPANT HAS RECEIVED ALL PERMISSIONS OR LICENSES REQUIRED
IN ORDER FOR SUMMIT TO USE SUCH PATIENT INFORMATION AS PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT AND TO SUPPLY AGGREGATE DATABASE REPORTS FROM ROD TO LILLY AND/OR
THIRD PARTIES. PARTICIPANT FURTHER WARRANTS THAT DATA PERTAINING TO ADVERSE
EVENTS WILL BE PROVIDED AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 2 OF THIS AGREEMENT. Any Data
Collection Forms provided in conjunction with ROD shall be used by Participant
only for collecting the Patient Information.
1.2. Summit will collect Participant's Patient Information on-line through
the Summit Web Site, using Summit Software. Summit will use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure the confidentiality of the Participant's Patient
Information collected through the Web Site, and ensure that such individual data
are held at the C2 security level required for all government systems, by use of
digital signatures, and encryption software as commercially reasonable under
burdens imposed by applicable governmental export licensing restrictions.
1.3 Summit will review the Patient Information received from Participant
for completeness by performing key field data analyses. If Summit reasonably
concludes that the Patient Information is incomplete, then Summit shall request
additional data, and Participant shall provide the data to Summit within fifteen
(15) days. If Participant does not supply complete Patient Information for any
three consecutive calendar months, then Summit may withhold any and all reports
to which Participant is otherwise entitled pursuant to this Paragraph 4, and may
terminate this Agreement as provided in Paragraph 5. Upon Summit's receipt of
complete Patient Information, it shall merge that information into ROD, as
applicable.
1.4 Summit will provide the Participant with standard reports from ROD on
a monthly basis. The Participant agrees to use these reports and the aggregate
data from ROD only for Participant's internal purposes, unless Participant
receives Summit's prior written consent to otherwise use such data. Special
reports including multi-variable regression analysis not included in the
standard report package may be purchased by the Participant.
1.5 Participant understands and agrees that Participant's data in
aggregate are being collected as part of larger databases which shall be owned
by Summit and/or Lilly and used by any or all of the following: Summit, Lilly,
third parties or other Participants for the study of cardiology and/or cardiac
surgery.
2. Adverse Event Reporting. ROD and the collection of data for ROD is a
-----------------------
prospective data collection project. Treatment and care of patients are within
the sole control and discretion of the investigator/physician. Accordingly when
addressing safety concerns, if any, that arise during the collection of data for
ROD, Participants and other physicians should use whatever methods of care are
usual and customary in their practices. The collection of data for ROD is not
intended to in any way affect or interfere with the Participant's/physician's
standard treatment or care of patients.
Because this project involves a marketed drug, only serious and unexpected
adverse events possibly associated with the use of ReoPro should be reported via
the Web Site to Lilly.
A serious adverse event would include an event that:
. Results in death
. Results in initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization
. Is life-threatening
. Results in severe or permanent disability
. Results in cancer
. Results in a congenital anomaly
. Results in a drug overdose
. Is significant for any other reason
An unexpected event would include those events which are not listed in the
product labeling or package insert. Notwithstanding the foregoing, adverse
reporting using ROD or the Summit Web Site will not, and is not intended to, be
a substitute for any reporting of Adverse Events to governmental agencies by the
Participants (or Lilly) and Summit shall not assume any such responsibility on
behalf of Lilly or any third party by including the reporting system in ROD.
3. Confidentiality. Summit will hold and maintain as confidential and
---------------
shall not disclose to third parties the individual Patient Information contained
in ROD or the Reports, and will protect such data from use for any purpose other
than the design, development, implementation and maintenance of ROD and larger
databases and the reports thereon or as expressly permitted in this Agreement.
Patient and physician identifying information ("Identifiers") within the Patient
Information will not be incorporated into the Databases. ROD will be maintained
in an access-controlled computer system, with access limited to employees or
agents of Summit who are directly involved in the management and/or analysis of
the data contained therein.
Participant shall hold and maintain as confidential, and not use or
disclose except as expressly permitted hereunder, any of the following: the
software, algorithms, interfaces, protocols, user documentation, data collection
forms and other information related to the collection of data via ROD and the
Internet. All software, algorithms, interfaces, protocols and other information
related to the collection of data via the Internet, and the development, design;
and implementation of ROD or the like, shall be proprietary information of
Summit.
This provision shall not apply to information which (i) is or becomes a
part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other party; (ii)
was in the other party's lawful possession prior to such access to or the
disclosure of same and had not been obtained by such other party either directly
or indirectly from the party hereto granting such access or making such
disclosure; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third party
having a legal right to so disclose without restriction on such disclosure.
Except as otherwise indicated, the provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall survive
any termination of this Agreement.
4. Data and Copyright Ownership.
----------------------------
Participant shall be deemed the owner with respect to all individual
Patient Information provided to Summit by Participant hereunder prior to its
inclusion in ROD or other larger databases. Pursuant to Section 1.5,
Participant hereby grants permission for Participant's Patient Information (with
the exception of patient and physician identifying information) to be
incorporated into ROD and larger databases and all reports based thereon. The
Participant shall have no rights whatsoever with respect to ROD and the larger
databases or to the software, documentation, and other materials created or
supplied pursuant to this Agreement, including all associated source code and
Web Site designs.
5. Access to Records. For audit and documentation purposes, Summit may
-----------------
provide access to source data sets and programs used to produce reports in order
to demonstrate how any report was produced and the source of the information
contained in that report; unless such information is proprietary information of
a third party (e.g. a proprietary algorithm.) Summit may provide access to data
pertaining to adverse events to the Federal Food and Drug Administration upon
their request or upon the request of Lilly. Digital signatures and encryption
will be maintained throughout any review.
6. Limitation of Liability. Participant acknowledges that Lilly is a
-----------------------
only a sponsor of ROD and is not responsible for the operation or management of
ROD, and hereby waives, and covenants not to xxx Xxxxx for, any and all possible
claims that it might have against Lilly arising out of, or resulting from, any
aspect of this Agreement. Moreover, in no event shall Summit be liable for any
indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages under this Agreement,
whether in an action in contract or tort or based on a warranty, whether or not
Summit or any other person has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Summit's liability for damages under this agreement shall in no event exceed the
amount of the fee paid by Participant under this Agreement, and if such damages
result from Participant's use of the Web Site or other Summit products, such
liability shall be limited to the fee paid during such year. Some states and
jurisdictions outside of the United States do not allow the limitation or
exclusion of implied warranties, or liability for incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply. The provisions of
this paragraph 3 shall survive any termination of this agreement.
7. Notices. All notices and demands of any kind in connection with this
-------
Agreement shall be in writing to the addresses appearing at the preamble to this
Agreement, and, in the case of Summit directed to the attention of its
Contracting Officer. Service of such notice or demand shall be deemed complete
on the day of actual delivery. A party may designate a different mailing
address or a different person to which all further notice or demands shall
thereafter be addressed with written notice to the other party.
8. Price. Pricing, terms and conditions are outlined in the License
-----
Agreement; provided, however, that there will be no charge to Participant
throughout the term of the Pilot Study except for any Special Reports requested
by the Participant.

Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors,
executors, heirs.
11. Relationships of Parties. The relationships of the parties to this

servant, principal and agent, employer and employee, or partners or joint
ventures.
12. Waiver. A waiver by either party of any of the terms or conditions of

its choice of law rules and the U.N. Convention on the International Sale of
Goods).

------------
unenforceable by a court or competent jurisdiction, then the rest of the
Agreement shall remain in full effect, provided that its general purposes remain
