mediation. The timing, venue, and method of the non-binding mediation, and the
type and identity of the mediator shall be acceptable to both the Sponsor and
CBI. The
6.

and CBI are unable, despite their good faith efforts, to agree on a mediator and
the aspects of the non-binding mediation process specified above within 45 days
after the senior executives, as applicable, have unsuccessfully terminated their
discussions or if either party disagrees with the mediator's decision, in the
case where the dispute is submitted to non-binding mediation, then the Sponsor
and CBI shall be entitled to exercise and enforce all of their rights and
remedies, both in law and in equity, with respect to such dispute.

corporation having its principal place of business at 6051 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx
Drive, P.O. Box 13865, Research Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000-0000 ("CBSI") and Sensus
Corporation, a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 00
Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 ("Sponsor").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, CBSI and Sponsor have entered into that certain Manufacturing
Services Agreement dated September 17, 1996 (the "Agreement") wherein CBSI
agreed to perform certain services for Sponsor in connection with the
development of a manufacturing process for a material known as rhGHA, or B2036-
PEG ("Product") in accordance with the Scope; (terms defined in the Agreement
and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined therein); and
WHEREAS, CBSI has progressed the development phase of the production process
for Product as defined in the Scope and Sponsor now wishes to amend the
Agreement whereby CBSI will undertake the production phase of the Program for
Product in accordance with the terms of a new scope of work document (as defined
below) and CBSI desires to amend the Agreement to provide said manufacturing
services to Sponsor.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the sufficiency and
receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to as follows:
1. SCOPE OF WORK. A detailed scope of work document for the production of
Product (the "Revised Scope") prepared by the parties is attached to this
Amendment No. 1. CBSI will perform the services set forth in the Revised Scope
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Except as
expressly modified herein, all terms and conditions of the Agreement will remain
in full force and affect.
2. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 6 OF THE AGREEMENT. Section 6 of the Agreement is
hereby amended to append subparagraph d) to Section 6 as follows:
d) The Revised Scope attached to this Amendment No. 1 outlines the
activities that will be performed during the manufacturing phase of the

purposes; invoices will be sent after actually achieving milestones.
Payment is due 30 days after Sponsor's receipt of the invoice. Late
payments are subject to an interest charge of one and one-half percent (1

3. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 14 OF THE AGREEMENT. Section 14 of the Agreement is
hereby amended in full to read as follows:
SECTION 14.
INDEMNIFICATION
(A) CBSI shall indemnify Sponsor and its affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, agents, and employees from any loss, cost, damage or
expense (a "Loss") from any lawsuit, action, claim, demand, assessment or
proceeding (a "Claim") for personal injury to Program participants or
personal injury to any employee or agent of Sponsor or property damage
arising or occurring during the conduct of the Program as a result of
CBSI's negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct or
inaction; provided that if such Loss or Claim arises in whole or in part
--------
from Sponsor's negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct or
inaction; or CBSI's violation, noncompliance, or nonperformance of any of
the terms of this Agreement then the amount of the Loss that CBSI shall
indemnify Sponsor for pursuant to this Section 14 shall be reduced by an
amount in proportion to the percentage of Sponsor's responsibilities for
such Loss determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision or in a binding settlement between the parties.
(B) Sponsor shall indemnify CBSI and its affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, employees and agents (the "CBSI Group") from any
Claim or Loss arising from or related to (i) personal injury to a
participant in the Program or personal injury to any employee of the CBSI
Group directly caused by the Material, Product, intermediates or the
Program, (ii) the harmful or otherwise unsafe effect of the Materials or
Product, including, without limitation, a Claim based upon Sponsor or any
other person's use, consumption, sale, distribution or marketing of any
substance, including the Material or the Product, (iii) the negligence,
gross negligence or intentional misconduct or inaction of Sponsor in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement or Scope related to
the Program, or (iv) the Sponsor's violation, non-compliance or non-
performance of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Sponsor's breach
of any representation made herein, or (v) any violation or infringement
of any third party's intellectual property rights including, without
limitation, any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, license or
other property
2.
right; provided that if such Loss or Claim (other than a Loss or Claim
--------
described in clause (ii) hereof) arises in whole or in part from
CBSI's negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct or
inaction or, with respect to a Loss or Claim described in clause (v)
hereof, from any violation or infringement of any third party's
intellectual property rights arising from CBSI's use of any expression
system or process developed by CBSI under this Agreement to make,
create, or produce the Product (except to the extent that Sponsor is a
contributory infringer) or CBSI's violation, noncompliance, or
nonperformance of any of the terms of this Agreement, then the amount
of such Loss that Sponsor shall indemnify the CBSI Group for pursuant
to this Section 14 shall be reduced by an amount in proportion to the
percentage of CBSI's responsibilities for such Loss as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision
or in a binding settlement between the parties. Sponsor shall not
indemnify the CBSI Group from any Loss from any claim described in
clause (ii) hereof arising solely from the gross negligence,
recklessness, or willful misconduct or inaction of CBSI.
(C) Upon receipt of notice of any Claim which may give rise to a right
of indemnity from the other party hereto, the party seeking
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall give written notice
thereof to the other party, (the "Indemnifying Party") with a Claim
for indemnity. Such Claim for indemnity shall indicate the nature of
the Claim and the basis therefore. Promptly after a claim is made for
which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnity, the Indemnified Party
shall permit the Indemnifying Party, at its option and expense, to
assume the complete defense of such Claim, provided that (i) the
--------
Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense of
any such Claim at its own cost and expense, (ii) the Indemnifying
Party will conduct the defense of any such Claim with due regard for
the business interests and potential related liabilities of the
Indemnified Party and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will, prior to
making any settlement, consult with the Indemnified Party as to the
terms of such settlement. The Indemnified Party shall have the right,
at its election, to release and hold harmless the Indemnifying Party
from its obligations hereunder with respect to such Claim and assume
the complete defense of the same in return for payment by the
Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the amount of the
Indemnifying Party's settlement offer. The Indemnifying Party will
not, in defense of any such Claim, except with the consent of the
Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement which does not include, and an unconditional term
thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified
Party of a release from all liability in respect thereof. After
notice to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party's election
to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be
liable to the Indemnified Party for such legal or other expenses
subsequently
3.
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof at the request of the Indemnifying Party. As to those Claims
