Neither Gilead nor P&amp;U shall have any obligation to \nactually enter into a license with respect to a Competitive CMV Product.  \nGilead shall be free to discuss licensing such Competitive CMV Product to \nthird parties and to grant such a license (i) if P&amp;U does not respond to \nGilead's notice of intent to license the Competitive CMV Product within \n[          ] after P&amp;U's receipt thereof, at any time after expiration \nof such [          ] period, or (ii) if Gilead and P&amp;U fail to agree upon \nthe terms of a possible license to the Competitive CMV Product during the \nNegotiation Period, at any time after expiration of the Negotiation Period.  \nThe foregoing right of first negotiation shall not apply to (i) any product \nwhich Gilead is developing and marketing independently for the treatment of \nCMV infection, or (ii) any products incorporating PMEA \n(9-[phosphonomethoxyethyl] adenine) or its prodrug forms, including \nspecifically adefovir dipivoxil (also known as GS 840 or bis-POM PMEA).\n\n     2.4    P&amp;U ACQUISITION OF COMPETITIVE PRODUCT.  In the event P&amp;U \nacquires rights to any Competitive CMV Product (either by licensing \ntechnology from, or acquiring, a third party) in the P&amp;U Territory, P&amp;U shall \npromptly so inform Gilead.  At least [          ] before filing an \napplication for marketing approval for such Competitive CMV Product, P&amp;U \nshall have the option to terminate the license granted to it in Section \n2.1(a) with respect to the country or countries where P&amp;U has obtained such \nproduct rights. If P&amp;U does not provide notice of its intent to exercise such \noption in such country or countries during such time period, Gilead may elect \nat any time thereafter to convert the exclusive license granted to P&amp;U \npursuant to Section 2.1(a) to a non-exclusive license, solely with respect to \nsuch country or countries.  Such conversion shall be effective upon receipt \nby P&amp;U of Gilead's written notice to P&amp;U of such election.  Any such \ntermination or conversion of P&amp;U's license shall not otherwise affect the \nparties' rights and obligations under this Agreement.\n\n     2.5    P&amp;U ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF OTHER GILEAD PRODUCTS.  P&amp;U acknowledges \nthat Gilead has entered into a License and Supply Agreement with American \nHome Products for the development and worldwide marketing of topical \nophthalmic formulations of Cidofovir, and that Gilead is developing \nindependently a topical gel formulation of Cidofovir which is not a \nCompetitive CMV Product.  P&amp;U also confirms its understanding that Gilead \nmaintains an active program to develop prodrugs of Cidofovir, the most \nadvanced of which is cyclic HPMPC (or GS 930). P&amp;U confirms its understanding \nthat these other formulations and products, among others, are not included in \nthe license granted to P&amp;U under this Agreement.\n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       8.\n\n\n\n     2.6    MAINTENANCE OF LICENSES TO GILEAD OF GILEAD PATENTS.  Gilead \nshall use diligent efforts to maintain valid licenses to the Gilead Patents \nwhich are in-licensed by Gilead and listed on Exhibit A as of the Effective \nDate.  Gilead shall give prompt notice to P&amp;U when it becomes aware of the \npossibility of a breach or default of any such license.  Both parties shall \nmeet and mutually determine an appropriate course of action to prevent such a \nbreach or default.\n\n                                    ARTICLE 3\n\n                       DEVELOPMENT AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS\n\n     3.1    JOINT STRATEGIC COMMITTEE.\n\n            (a)     JSC MEMBERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE.

P&amp;U shall appoint the Chairperson of the JSC for\nthe first year of the term of this Agreement, and upon the first anniversary of\nthe Effective Date, Gilead shall appoint the Chairperson of the JSC for the\nfollowing year.  The parties will similarly alternate responsibility for\nappointing the JSC Chairperson for subsequent one-year terms during the term of\nthis Agreement.  The JSC shall attempt to operate by consensus, and any issues\nthat the JSC is unable to resolve by consensus shall be submitted for resolution\npursuant to Article 14.

Additionally the JSC shall serve as a forum for\ndiscussion of opportunities for cost sharing where such activities would have\nmutual benefit.  Each party shall submit to the JSC its plans for any clinical\ntrials of Licensed Product in advance of the anticipated commencement date\nthereof.  Neither party shall commence any clinical trial of the Licensed\nProduct until the JSC has approved the plans therefor; provided, however that\nGilead shall not be required to obtain prior JSC approval of any Phase IV\nclinical trial of Vistide which was agreed to by Gilead with the U.S. FDA prior\nto the Effective Date in connection with obtaining marketing approval, or any\nclinical trial of Licensed Product agreed to by Gilead with clinical\ninvestigators prior to the Effective Date.  The parties shall present their\nplans for commercializing Licensed Products to the JSC, which shall work with\nthe parties to help formulate a consistent, worldwide commercialization strategy\nfor Licensed Products.\n\n\n                                       9.\n\n\n\n     3.2    GILEAD'S OBLIGATIONS.\n\n            (a)     DISCLOSURE OF GILEAD KNOW-HOW.  Following the Effective Date\nand through the term of this Agreement, Gilead shall make available to P&amp;U,\nsubject to the terms of this Agreement, all Gilead Know-How, PROVIDED, HOWEVER,\nthat Gilead shall not be obligated to transfer Gilead Know-How which relates to\nthe manufacture of bulk Cidofovir, except to the extent required for regulatory\npurposes or to satisfy its customary internal requirements for quality control.\n\n            (b)     REGULATORY FILINGS.  Gilead shall provide P&amp;U with letters\nof reference to its dossier of regulatory filings for Licensed Products in the\nTerritory, including the drug master file regarding the manufacture of bulk\nCidofovir and any other comparable files.  Gilead shall also provide reasonable\ntechnical assistance required by P&amp;U in connection with the regulatory filings\nreferred to in Section 3.3, at no additional cost to P&amp;U.  Gilead shall provide\nadditional information as may be required by the regulatory authorities of a\nparticular country within the P&amp;U Territory if a letter of reference is not\nsufficient for that country.\n\n            (c)     CENTRALIZED CPMP APPROVAL OF VISTIDE; SUBSEQUENT TRANSFER \nOF MAA.  Gilead, as approved by the JSC, will perform [                      \n      ]any additional clinical trials and make regulatory filings necessary \nto obtain marketing approval of Vistide by the CPMP under the EMEA's \ncentralized licensing procedure.

As provided in Section 3.3, after Gilead has obtained CPMP \napproval of Vistide, P&amp;U shall be the primary party responsible for obtaining \nany other required national or local reimbursement and pricing approvals and \nagreements for Vistide in the European Union countries.  Gilead shall \ntransfer to P&amp;U the marketing authorization application (\"MAA\"), or resulting \nmarketing authorization (\"MA\") covering Vistide, which is presently held by \nGilead Sciences Limited, a U.K. company wholly owned by Gilead.  The parties \nagree to effect such transfer in the manner most convenient to the parties \nwhich conforms with applicable regulatory requirements.  Each party shall \nbear its own expenses incurred in connection with such transfer, except that \nany transfer-related filing fees shall be divided equally by the parties.  If \nsuch transfer occurs by means of the sale of Gilead Sciences Limited, the \npurchase price shall be equal to Gilead's invested capital (which is \nnominal), P&amp;U shall promptly thereafter change the name of such entity so as \nnot to include the name of \"Gilead\", and Gilead shall indemnify P&amp;U for any \nliabilities of such company incurred prior to the date of such sale.\n\n     3.3    P&amp;U'S OBLIGATIONS.\n\n            (a)     DISCLOSURE OF P&amp;U KNOW-HOW.

P&amp;U shall be responsible for the [        \n          ] clinical trials of Licensed Product in the P&amp;U Territory including\nexpanded access or compassionate use programs, [                      \n                                                                        \n                                                                  ] of all\nexternal development costs which are approved by the JSC and which are (i)\nrequired in order to obtain marketing approval of Licensed Product in countries\nof the P&amp;U Territory, or (ii) required in order to improve approved product\nlabelling.  In Japan, [                                                     \n         ] subject to advance budget approval by the JSC.  [           \n                                                                             \n                                               ] From time to time, the parties\nmay agree to allocate the costs of clinical trials of Licensed Product in a\nmanner other than that set forth in this Agreement.\n\n     3.5    CLINICAL MATERIALS.  Gilead shall timely supply P&amp;U with such\nquantities of Licensed Product in final form as may be reasonably required by\nP&amp;U for the conduct of clinical trials.  P&amp;U will reimburse Gilead for its\nactual costs of manufacturing such material as set forth in Article 6.\n\n     3.6    ADVERSE REACTIONS.  The parties agree that, to the extent permitted\nby applicable law, Gilead shall be responsible outside of the P&amp;U Territory for\nthe reporting of adverse events related to the use of Licensed Product, and P&amp;U\nshall be responsible inside the P&amp;U Territory for the reporting of such adverse\nevents.  In this regard, each party agrees to advise regulatory authorities of\nthe other's role and to conform with the adverse event reporting procedures of\nthe countries in which they are marketing Licensed Products.  The parties shall\nagree upon standard operating procedures for reporting such adverse events to\ngovernmental regulatory authorities and to each other prior to the date of First\nCommercial Sale of Licensed Product in any country in the P&amp;U Territory.  Any\nmodifications to the standard procedure for adverse event reporting shall be\neffective only upon the mutual consent of the parties. The provisions of this\nSection 3.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement so long as both parties\nare marketing Licensed Products.\n\n     3.7    INTRAOCULAR CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT.  The JSC will meet to agree upon a\nclinical development plan for the intraocular formulation of cidofovir which\nshall have the same development costs sharing arrangement between the Parties as\nfor Vistide under Section 3.4.\n\n                                    ARTICLE 4\n\n                                  DUE DILIGENCE\n\n     4.1    MARKETING APPROVAL.  P&amp;U shall devote its Best Efforts to obtain\nmarketing approval for Licensed Product in substantially all markets in the P&amp;U\nTerritory and to achieve First Commercial Sale of Licensed Product on a timely\nbasis thereafter in each country where approval is obtained.  [\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                                                            ]\n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       11.\n\n\n\n     4.2    TERRITORIAL DILIGENCE.  Specifically, to maintain its license \nrights under Section 2.1(a) in each country of the P&amp;U territory, P&amp;U shall \nuse Best Efforts to obtain marketing, pricing and reimbursement approval for \neach country in the P&amp;U Territory (subject to approval by the JSC and Section \n4.2 (b) below) and to achieve First Commercial sale of Licensed Product in \neach such country within [              ] of receiving all required \napprovals. For Japan the Parties agree to [\n                                         ]\n\n     If P&amp;U fails to satisfy such diligence standards in any particular country\nin the P&amp;U Territory, Gilead shall have the right to notify P&amp;U of its intent to\nterminate P&amp;U's license in such country.  Upon receipt of such notice, P&amp;U shall\nhave a sixty (60) day period within which to submit to Gilead a specific,\nwritten plan to achieve regulatory and, where required, pricing and\nreimbursement approvals and its action steps for First Commercial Sale of\nLicensed Product within the country in question within [              ] after\nregulatory and, where required, pricing and reimbursement approval.  The efforts\nof P&amp;U sublicensees shall be treated as efforts of P&amp;U for purposes of this\nSection 4.2.  If P&amp;U later fails to make the First Commercial Sale of Licensed\nProduct within such additional [           ] period, the countries shall be\nexcluded from the definition of P&amp;U Territory upon ninety (90) days' advance\nwritten notice from Gilead, except if such delay is shown to be outside the\ncontrol of P&amp;U.\n\n            (a)     REPORTS.  Each Party shall provide regular reports to the\nJSC concerning the development and marketing of Licensed Product in the various\ncountries of the world.\n\n            (b)     EXCEPTIONS.  Nothing in this Section 4.2 shall require P&amp;U\nto develop or market the Licensed Product in any country in which by reason of\npricing restrictions, costs of doing business, or other reasons P&amp;U can\ndemonstrate to Gilead's satisfaction (not to be unreasonably withheld) that P&amp;U\nwould reasonably not choose to market Licensed Product in view of market\npotential, profit potential or strategic purpose in view of conditions then\nprevailing in such country (either directly or by reason of the effect that such\nactivity would have on other markets for the Licensed Product).  It is\nspecifically understood that any request by P&amp;U for relief under this Section\n4.2(b) shall be accompanied by a specific and detailed economic analysis\npresenting the basis for its conclusion.  P&amp;U shall not lose any license rights\nfor failure of diligence under Article 4 in any territory in which P&amp;U is able\nto demonstrate P&amp;U's reasoning to Gilead's satisfaction.  In addition, P&amp;U may\npropose to the JSC that regulatory approval for Licensed Product not be sought\nor obtained in a particular country.  P&amp;U shall not be relieved of its\nobligations under this Section 4.2 unless Gilead consents to removing such\ncountry from P&amp;U's diligence obligations or delaying the time periods set forth\nabove to take into account unforeseen circumstances.\n\n                                    ARTICLE 5\n\n                                  COMPENSATION\n\n     5.1    LICENSE FEE.  P&amp;U shall pay to Gilead a license fee of ten million\ndollars ($10,000,000) within ten (10) days of the Effective Date.  Such license\nfee shall be nonrefundable and noncreditable.\n\n     5.2    MILESTONE PAYMENT.  P&amp;U shall pay to Gilead a ten million dollar\n($10,000,000) milestone payment within thirty (30) days after its receipt of\nnotice from Gilead that the CPMP has issued a decision granting a marketing\nauthorization for Vistide.  Such milestone payment shall be nonrefundable and\nnoncreditable.\n\n     5.3    ROYALTY PAYMENTS ON NET SALES.  P&amp;U shall make royalty payments to\nGilead on Net Sales of Licensed Products in the P&amp;U Territory, payable on a\nquarterly calendar basis (\"Royalty Payments\").  Royalty Payments shall be\ncalculated on Net Sales of Patented Products as set forth in\n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       12.\n\n\n\nsubsection (a) below and shall be calculated on Net Sales of Non-Patented\nProducts as set forth in subsection (b) below.\n\n            (a)     PATENTED PRODUCTS ROYALTY. [\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                                                     ]\n\n\n            (b)     NON-PATENTED PRODUCTS ROYALTY.  [\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                                                                          ]\n\n            (c)     ADJUSTMENT FOR PACKAGED PRODUCT.  In the event Licensed\nProduct is sold as a package with other products (a \"Packaged Product\"), then\nthe Net Sales applicable to such sale of the Packaged Product shall be\ndetermined in a fair and reasonable manner.\n\n            (d)     PAYMENT FOR NON-PATENT BENEFITS.  In establishing a\nstructure which provides for a lower Royalty Payment for Non-Patented Products,\nthe parties recognize, and P&amp;U acknowledges, the substantial value of the\nvarious actions being taken by Gilead under this Agreement, in addition to the\ngrant of a patent license, to enable the rapid and effective market introduction\nof the Licensed Products in the P&amp;U Territory.  These actions include, by way of\nexample, the completion of the CPMP approval process and the transfer of the\nMAA; ongoing access to Gilead regulatory filings; the supply commitments set\nforth in Article 6; the willingness to transfer manufacturing know-how; the\nlicenses under the Gilead Know-How and trademarks; and ongoing access to\nimprovements in the Licensed Products made by Gilead during the term of this\nAgreement, including the possible introduction of an intraocular formulation of\nCidofovir.  The parties agree that the Royalty Payment (plus the license fee,\nsupply payments, and the cost reimbursements provided for elsewhere herein)\nprovides fair compensation to Gilead for these \n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       13.\n\n\n\nadditional benefits in the case of the sale of Patented Products, and that \nbecause Gilead is not being otherwise compensated under this Agreement for \nsuch additional benefits, a lesser Royalty Payment is appropriate for the \nsale of Licensed Products not covered by Gilead Patents.  The parties have \nagreed to the payment structure set forth herein as a convenient and fair \nmechanism to compensate Gilead for these additional benefits.\n\n     5.4    QUARTERLY PAYMENT MECHANISM; YEAR-END RECONCILIATION.  For each of\nthe first three calendar quarters of each calendar year in which a Royalty\nPayment is due, P&amp;U shall make a payment to Gilead equal to (i) P&amp;U's total Net\nSales of Patented Products and Non-Patented Products during such quarter\nmultiplied by (ii) the total Royalty Payment that was due with respect to the\nprevious calendar year divided by the total Net Sales of Patented Products and\nNon-Patented Products during such previous calendar year.  During the first\ncalendar year of this Agreement during which there are Net Sales, the rate under\n(ii) above shall be [    ]  The payment due with respect to the final calendar\nquarter of the year shall be equal to the total Royalty Payment due for such\nyear less the aggregate Royalty Payments made with respect to the first three\nquarters of the year.  (Thus, during the first three calendar quarters of each\ncalendar year, the Royalty Payment shall be made on the basis of the average\nrate applicable to Net Sales during the previous year.  At the end of the year,\na reconciliation shall occur so that the actual payments for the year as a whole\nare equal to the amount due under Section 5.3.)\n\n     5.5    SUBLICENSE.  In the event P&amp;U sublicenses its right to sell Licensed\nProduct, such sublicenses shall include an obligation for the sublicensee to\naccount for and report its Net Sales of Licensed Products on the same basis as\nif such sales were Net Sales of Licensed Products by P&amp;U, and P&amp;U shall pay\nRoyalty Payments to Gilead as if the Net Sales of the sublicensee were Net Sales\nof P&amp;U.\n\n     5.6    EXPIRATION OF ROYALTY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS.  On a country-by-country\nand product-by-product basis, P&amp;U's Royalty Payment obligations (i) with respect\nto Patented Products shall expire upon the date on which P&amp;U's activities with\nrespect to a Licensed Product no longer infringe a Valid Claim of a Gilead\nPatent in such country, and (ii) with respect to Non-Patented Products shall\nexpire on the date which is [              ] after the date of First Commercial\nSale of such product in such country.  Upon expiration of P&amp;U's Royalty Payment\nobligations in a country with respect to a Licensed Product, P&amp;U's exclusive\nlicense under Gilead Know-How in such country shall convert with no further\naction required to a nonexclusive license, and P&amp;U may thereafter continue to\nsell such Licensed Product in such country on a royalty-free basis.  Thereafter,\nGilead may obtain marketing approval and market such product in such country, at\nGilead's sole expense, with no obligation to P&amp;U.\n\n                                    ARTICLE 6\n\n                            SUPPLY AND  MANUFACTURING\n\n     6.1    SUPPLY OF CIDOFOVIR.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this\nArticle 6, Gilead shall supply to P&amp;U all of its requirements of bulk Cidofovir\nfor sales of Licensed Products in the P&amp;U Territory; P&amp;U shall not obtain bulk\nCidofovir from a third party or manufacture it directly without Gilead's written\nconsent.  Such supply obligation shall terminate upon the expiration of the last\nGilead Patent.  P&amp;U will be responsible for obtaining supply of finished\nLicensed Product, by manufacturing directly or through a third party. It is\nunderstood by Gilead that P&amp;U wishes to enter into a direct manufacturing\nagreement with Ben Venue to provide for at least the initial supply of finished\nLicensed Product.  Gilead shall assist P&amp;U in consummating this agreement.\n\n     6.2    TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER.  Gilead shall cooperate in the timely transfer\nof Gilead Technology relating to the manufacture of finished Licensed Product to\nP&amp;U or its sublicensee approved\n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       14.\n\n\n\nby Gilead.  Gilead will have the right to test and approve samples from the\nfirst three (3) lots of finished Licensed Product manufactured by P&amp;U prior to\nrelease for commercial distribution.  Any such transfer of Gilead Technology\nshall be subject to the confidentiality obligations of the parties hereunder.\nSuch technology transfer shall be provided without charge to P&amp;U, except that if\nany Gilead or other personnel need to travel in order to effect such transfer,\nthe costs of such travel and associated lodging and other expenses shall be\nborne by P&amp;U.\n\n     6.3    SUPPLY OF INTRAOCULAR CIDOFOVIR.  The parties intend that Gilead\nshall supply P&amp;U with clinical materials for intraocular Cidofovir, but that P&amp;U\nwill obtain its own source of  manufacturing capacity for commercial quantities\nof intraocular Cidofovir.  In such event, subject to the termination provisions\nof Section 9.3, Gilead shall supply such quantities of bulk Cidofovir as may be\nordered by P&amp;U to enable the production of intraocular Cidofovir.\n\n     6.4    SUPPLY PRICES.

Promptly following execution of this Agreement,\nGilead shall deliver to P&amp;U its current specifications for bulk Cidofovir (the\n\"Specifications\"), which are consistent with those set forth in the applications\nfor marketing approval of Vistide filed by Gilead in the United States and\nEurope.  The parties recognize that Gilead may hereafter make changes to the\nSpecifications for bulk Cidofovir. Any changes in the Specifications which\nrequires regulatory approval, or materially and demonstrably adversely affects\nthe Licensed Product as then being developed or sold by P&amp;U, may be made by\nGilead only with the prior written approval of P&amp;U.  Any changes in the\nSpecifications which do not require regulatory approval, and do not materially\nand demonstrably adversely affect the Licensed Product as then being developed\nor sold by P&amp;U, may be made by Gilead upon written notice to P&amp;U.  In no event\nshall Gilead cease to supply P&amp;U with bulk Cidofovir conforming to the old\nSpecifications until P&amp;U has obtained the necessary approvals provided, however,\nthat P&amp;U shall make a good faith effort to obtain the necessary approvals in a\ntimely fashion.\n\n     6.6    FORECASTS AND ORDERS.  P&amp;U shall provide Gilead with rolling\nforecasts of its expected requirements of bulk Cidofovir over the next 18\nmonths.  Forecasts shall be due quarterly and shall set forth (i) P&amp;U's actual\nrequirements for the following two quarters, which portion of the forecast shall\nbe binding and serve as an order for bulk Cidofovir, and (ii) P&amp;U's best\nestimate of its requirements for the following four quarters.  Gilead shall\ndeliver the bulk Cidofovir ordered for delivery by the start of each calendar\nquarter, but in no event shall Gilead be required to deliver more Cidofovir in\nany given quarter than was estimated for such quarter in the last two applicable\nforecasts.  In addition, except with the written consent of Gilead, P&amp;U may not\nincrease its forecast of any material requirements in a\n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       15.\n\n\n\nparticular calendar quarter by more than twenty five percent (25%) from its\nforecast for such quarter during its immediately preceding forecast.\n\n     6.7    ACCEPTANCE; SHIPMENT AND RISK OF LOSS.\n\n            (a)     ACCEPTANCE.  Gilead (directly or through its supplier) shall\ntest a portion of each batch in each delivery of Cidofovir and supply P&amp;U with a\nsample of bulk Cidofovir and a certificate of analysis (\"CERTIFICATE OF\nANALYSIS\") confirming that such batch meets the Specifications.  P&amp;U may then\nretest the Cidofovir to confirm that it meets Specifications.  P&amp;U may reject\nany batch of Cidofovir for failure to meet Specifications by providing written\nnotice to Gilead within fifteen (15) days of P&amp;U's receipt of such batch.  In\nthe event that P&amp;U rejects any batch of Cidofovir, Gilead shall use its Best\nEfforts to supply P&amp;U with replacement material within thirty (30) days after\nGilead receives P&amp;U's written notice of rejection.  If Gilead agrees that the\nbatch did not meet Specifications, such replacement batch shall be provided\nwithout charge.  If Gilead disagrees with P&amp;U's determination that certain\nmaterial does not meet the Specifications, such material shall be submitted to a\nmutually acceptable third party laboratory.  Such third party laboratory shall\ndetermine whether the material in question meets the Specifications and the\nparties agree that such laboratory's determination shall be final and\ndeterminative.  The party against whom the third party tester rules shall bear\nall costs of the third party testing.  If the third-party tester rules that the\nbatch fails to meet Specifications, Gilead's replacement of the batch shall be\nat no charge to P&amp;U.  If the third party tester rules that the batch did meet\nSpecifications, P&amp;U shall accept such batch for use or reimburse Gilead's cost\nof manufacture.  If for any reason P&amp;U does not use a batch of material\ndelivered to it by Gilead, it shall destroy or return such batch of material, as\ndirected by Gilead.\n\n            (b)     SHIPMENT; RISK OF LOSS.  Unless otherwise agreed to in\nwriting, all shipments shall be F.O.B the place of manufacture.  Material\nsupplied under this Article 6 shall be made available for shipment upon\nacceptance of the relevant sample in accordance with Section 6.9(a).  Shipment\nshall occur by such method and carrier as P&amp;U may designate, and all\ntransportation expenses for the delivery of material to P&amp;U shall be borne by\nP&amp;U.  P&amp;U shall bear the risk of loss of any material following shipment from\nthe place of manufacture.\n\n            (c)     MINIMUM INVENTORIES.  P&amp;U acknowledges the inherent risk\nthat a batch of bulk or finished product may be lost in production or shipment,\nand agrees to maintain an inventory of materials it purchases from Gilead\nsufficient to supply at least ninety (90) days worth of P&amp;U's requirements in\nthe event of late delivery by Gilead.\n\n     6.8    INVOICES.  Gilead will invoice P&amp;U for each batch of material \nsupplied to P&amp;U under this Article 6.  P&amp;U shall pay such invoices within \n[                 ] of receipt of goods. Any invoiced amount which is not paid \nwithin [                     ] period shall be assessed a late payment fee at \nthe rate of 10% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law \nwith respect to such payment obligations, whichever is less.\n\n     6.9    SHORTAGES OF SUPPLY.  If Gilead is unable to supply quantities of\nbulk Cidofovir ordered by P&amp;U in accordance with this Article 6, then, unless\nthe parties otherwise agree at the time, Gilead shall allocate the available\nbulk Cidofovir, as the case may be, between itself and P&amp;U on a pro rata basis\nin accordance with the respective utilization of each party of the material in\nquestion in the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the quarter in\nwhich such shortage occurs.  In such event, Gilead shall further use its\nreasonable efforts to remedy the shortage in question.  The product allocation\nprovided in this Section 6.9 shall be the sole remedy of P&amp;U in the event of\nsuch a supply shortage, and Gilead shall not have monetary liability as a result\nof such supply shortage.\n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       16.\n\n\n\n                                    ARTICLE 7\n\n                                    MARKETING\n\n     7.1    PROMOTION AND MARKETING EFFORTS.

P&amp;U shall determine, in its sole discretion, the pricing,\ndiscounting policy and other commercial terms relating solely to Licensed\nProducts.\n\n     7.3    TRADEMARKS.  P&amp;U shall sell Licensed Product under the mark\n\"Vistide\" and other trademarks selected and owned by Gilead to the extent\nallowed by regulatory authorities in the P&amp;U Territory.  In the event such\nauthorities do not permit P&amp;U to use the Gilead trademarks, P&amp;U shall select and\nown its own trademarks for the commercialization of Licensed Product.  Gilead\nhereby grants P&amp;U a limited license to the use of the Gilead marks, trade names\nand logos to be designated by Gilead in connection with the commercialization\nactivities provided for herein (collectively, the \"Marks\") for the sole purpose\nof selling Licensed Products in the P&amp;U Territory.  Such license shall be\nexclusive so long as P&amp;U is making Royalty Payments to Gilead under Article 5,\nand thereafter shall be perpetual with respect to the name \"Vistide\" and other\nproduct names and logos previously designated by Gilead specifically for\nLicensed Product, but shall expire with respect to Marks used more generally by\nGilead.  P&amp;U may sublicense its rights under this Section 7.3 to its non-\nAffiliates with the prior written consent of Gilead, which consent shall not be\nunreasonably withheld.  P&amp;U shall submit any materials bearing the Gilead Marks\nto Gilead for approval prior to using such materials to commercialize Licensed\nProducts, and Gilead shall not unreasonably withhold such approval.  P&amp;U will\nnot take any action which may damage the goodwill associated with the Gilead\nMarks and will not damage the reputation for quality associated with the Gilead\nMarks.  Except as provided in this Section 7.3, P&amp;U shall have no right or\ninterest in any Gilead trademark used in association with any Gilead product.\n\n     7.4    USE OF THE GILEAD NAME.  Gilead and P&amp;U agree that the packaging and\npromotional materials for the Licensed Product marketed by P&amp;U and\/or P&amp;U's\nsublicensees shall identify Gilead as developer and licensor, to the extent that\nP&amp;U can reasonably accommodate same.  P&amp;U hereby acknowledges Gilead's ownership\nof the Gilead Sciences name.  Gilead hereby agrees to indemnify and hold P&amp;U\nharmless from any use hereunder of the Gilead Sciences name in connection with\nLicensed Product in the P&amp;U Territory which occurs with the consent of Gilead,\nprovided that P&amp;U provides Gilead prompt notice of any such claim and grants to\nGilead the exclusive ability to defend (with the reasonable cooperation of P&amp;U)\nand settle any such claim.  If only one name is allowed pursuant to governmental\nlaws or regulations, then P&amp;U may use its name alone, without identifying Gilead\nas developer and licensor.\n\n     7.5    DISTRIBUTION OF LICENSED PRODUCT.  P&amp;U shall be responsible for\ndistribution of Licensed Product in the P&amp;U Territory.  Gilead shall apply for\nexemptions or waivers available under U.S. export control laws applicable to the\nshipment of Licensed Products to locations designated by P&amp;U.\n\n     7.6    EXPORT CONTROL.  This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions\nconcerning the export of products or technical information from the United\nStates of America or other countries which may be imposed upon or related to\nGilead or P&amp;U from time to time.  Each party agrees that it will not\n\n\n                                       17.\n\n\n\nexport, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the\nother party under this Agreement or any products using such technical\ninformation to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an\nexport license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the\nwritten consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental\nentity.\n\n                                    ARTICLE 8\n\n                            PAYMENTS; RECORDS; AUDIT\n\n     8.1    PAYMENT; REPORT.  All amounts payable to either party under this \nAgreement shall be paid in U.S. dollars within [                ] of the end \nof each calendar quarter or as otherwise specifically provided herein.  Each \npayment of Royalty Payments shall be accompanied by a statement, country by \ncountry, of the amount of Net Sales during such quarter and on a cumulative \nbasis for the current year and the amount of Royalty Payments or other \npayments due on such sales.  An itemized calculation of [             \n                                                    ] as described in \nSection 6.4 will also be provided together with quarterly payments.\n\n     8.2    EXCHANGE RATE; MANNER AND PLACE OF PAYMENT.  All payments due\nhereunder from time to time shall be paid in U.S. Dollars.  For purposes of\ncomputing such payments, the Net Sales of Licensed Product sold for foreign\n(i.e., non-United States) funds shall first be determined in the foreign funds\nfor which such Licensed Product is sold and then converted to its equivalent in\nthe U.S. Dollars.   Conversion of the amounts of Net Sales from local currencies\nto U.S. dollars will be made using the same method by P&amp;U in the normal\nconversion of financial statements for internal and external reporting purposes\non a monthly basis using at least three (1st, 15th and end of month) exchange\nrates as published by the local country source customarily used by P&amp;U in the\nmonth in which sales were invoiced.\n\n            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by reason of any restrictive\nexchange laws or regulations, P&amp;U shall be unable to convert to U.S. Dollars the\namount, determined as above, equivalent to the amount due by P&amp;U hereunder, then\nP&amp;U shall so notify Gilead promptly and provide an explanation of the\ncircumstances.  In such event, P&amp;U shall make all such payments or the balance\nthereof due hereunder and which is not paid in foreign currency as provided\nbelow, in U.S. Dollars as soon as reasonably possible after and to the extent\nthat such restrictive exchange laws or regulations are lifted so as to permit\nP&amp;U to pay amounts due under this Section 8.2 in U.S. Dollars.  P&amp;U shall\npromptly notify Gilead if such restrictions are so lifted.  At its option Gilead\nshall meanwhile have the right to request the payment (to it or to its nominee),\nand, upon request, P&amp;U shall pay or cause to be paid amounts due (or such\nportions thereof as are specified by Gilead) in the currency of any other\ncountry designated by Gilead and legally available to P&amp;U under the then-\nexisting laws or regulations.  Any payments shall be payable to Gilead by wire\ntransfer at such bank in the United States as Gilead shall specify from time to\ntime.  Not less than one (1) business day prior to such wire transfer, the\nremitting party shall telefax the receiving party advising it of the amount and\nof the payment to be made.\n\n     8.3    RECORDS AND AUDIT.\n\n            (a)      P&amp;U shall keep complete and accurate records pertaining to\nthe sale or other disposition of the Licensed Product and of the Royalty\nPayments and other amounts payable under this Agreement in sufficient detail to\npermit Gilead and\/or its licensors to confirm the accuracy of all payments due\nhereunder.  Gilead shall have the right to cause an independent, certified\npublic accountant to which P&amp;U has no reasonable objection to audit such records\nto confirm P&amp;U's Net Sales and Royalty Payments including supply price\nadjustments as described in Section 6.4 for the preceding year.  Such audit\nrights may be exercised no more often than once a year, within three (3) years\nafter the Royalty Payment period\n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       18.\n\n\n\nto which such records relate, upon notice to P&amp;U and during normal business\nhours.  Gilead will bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses\nan underpayment of more than five percent (5%) from the amount of Royalty\nPayments due.  In such case, P&amp;U shall bear the full cost of such audit.  The\nterms of this Section 8.3 (a) shall survive any termination or expiration of\nthis Agreement for a period of three (3) years.\n\n            (b)     Upon reasonable notice, P&amp;U may perform GMP audits of Gilead\nfacilities, or contract manufacturers for Gilead, as they are or might be used\nin the production of items controlled in the registration applications under\nParagraph 3.2(c) when the registration transfers to P&amp;U or Paragraph 3.2(b) when\nP&amp;U successfully gains its own approvals.  Expenses for such audits will be\nborne by P&amp;U.\n\n\n     8.4    WITHHOLDING TAXES.  All payments made by P&amp;U to Gilead under this\nAgreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be made free and clear of any\ndeductions or withholdings except to the extent provided for in this Section\n8.4.  Any and all taxes levied on account of Royalty Payments paid or owed from\na country in which provision is made in the law or by regulation for withholding\nwill be deducted from Royalty Payment paid Gilead hereunder.  P&amp;U shall\ncooperate with Gilead to claim exemption from such deductions or withholdings\nunder any double taxation or similar agreement in force from time to time and\nshall endeavor to secure any such exemptions before Royalty Payments are made\nhereunder.  If P&amp;U makes any payment without reduction for withholding and it\nlater transpires that an amount of tax should have been withheld on such Royalty\nPayment (\"under withheld tax\"), P&amp;U shall be entitled to recover the under\nwithheld tax by an additional withholding from any payment due to Gilead under\nthis Agreement.  Similarly, if P&amp;U withholds an amount of tax which is later\ndetermined to have not been due, P&amp;U shall reimburse Gilead for such over\nwithheld amounts.\n\n                                    ARTICLE 9\n\n                              TERM AND TERMINATION\n\n     9.1    TERM.  The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective\nDate and, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Article 9, expire on the\nexpiration of all the Royalty Payment obligations set forth under Article 5.\n\n     9.2    LICENSES UPON EXPIRATION.  In the event that the Agreement expires\nas set forth in Section 9.1 above without early termination, the license granted\nunder Section 2.1 with respect to the Gilead Technology shall automatically\nbecome a non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully-paid license to use and\/or sublicense\nthe use of Gilead Know-How to manufacture, use and sell the Licensed Products\nworldwide.  In any event of termination of this Agreement by reason other than\nbreach of this Agreement by Gilead, the licenses to Gilead set forth in Section\n2.1(b) shall survive.\n\n     9.3    TERMINATION FOR BREACH.  Each party shall have the right to\nterminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder for material breach by\nthe other party, which breach remains uncured for ninety (90) days after written\nnotice is provided to the breaching party, or in the case of an obligation to\npay Royalty Payments or other amounts owing under this Agreement, which breach\nremains uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice to the breaching party\nunless there exists a bona fide dispute as to whether such Royalty Payments or\nother amounts are owing. Notwithstanding any termination under this Section 9.3,\nany obligation to pay Royalty Payments which had accrued or become payable as of\nthe date of termination shall survive termination of this Agreement.\n\n\n                                       19.\n\n\n\n     9.4    TERMINATION IN EVENT OF PATENT CHALLENGE.  Gilead shall have the\nright to terminate this Agreement if P&amp;U challenges the validity of the Gilead\nPatents within any country in the P&amp;U Territory effective thirty (30) days after\nP&amp;U's receipt of written notice of such termination by Gilead.\n\n     9.5    UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT TO TERMINATE.    P&amp;U may in its sole \ndiscretion terminate this Agreement in whole but not in part by providing \n[                ] written notice to Gilead, provided that such termination \nshall not be effective until at least [          ] after the Effective Date. \n Termination under this provision will not relieve P&amp;U of any obligation \noccurred prior to termination, such as confidentiality, payments and other \nprovisions which by their nature would survive termination.\n\n     9.6    REVERSION OF PRODUCT RIGHTS.  In the event that a party terminates\nthis Agreement pursuant to Sections, 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5 above, all licenses granted\nto the other party under Section 2.1 hereof shall terminate.  In the event that\nP&amp;U permanently loses its right to use and sell the Licensed Product in any\ncountry other than by reason of any action or failure to act on the part of\nGilead or any party acting on behalf of Gilead, all licenses granted under\nSection 2.1(a) hereof shall terminate in such country.\n\n     9.7    SURVIVAL.  Articles 1, 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 and Section 3.6 of this\nAgreement shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason (subject to\nany subsequent dates of termination referred to in such individual Articles).\n\n                                   ARTICLE 10\n\n                              INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY\n\n     10.1   PROSECUTION OF PATENTS.  Gilead Patents shall be prosecuted and\nmaintained by Gilead or its licensors, at Gilead's expense.  P&amp;U Patents shall\nbe prosecuted and maintained by P&amp;U, at its expense.  In the event that Gilead\nelects not to maintain any issued patent within the Gilead Patents or not to\nfile any patent term extensions to the Gilead Patents which P&amp;U believes are\nappropriate to obtain an extended period of market exclusivity for Licensed\nProduct, Gilead will offer to assign such patent rights to P&amp;U.  If P&amp;U elects\nto take over responsibility for such patent rights any license obligations which\nspecifically relate to such patent rights are terminated, i.e., royalties for\nPatented Products.\n\n     10.2   INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS BY THIRD PARTIES.\n\n            (a)     NOTIFICATION.  Each party shall promptly notify the other in\nwriting of any alleged or threatened infringement of the Gilead Patents of which\nit becomes aware.\n\n            (b)     GILEAD PATENTS.  Gilead shall have the right, but not the\nobligation, to bring, at Gilead's expense and in its sole control, an\nappropriate action against any person or entity infringing a Gilead Patent\ndirectly or contributorily.  If Gilead does not bring such action within ninety\n(90) days of notification thereof to or by P&amp;U, P&amp;U will have the right to bring\nsuch action at P&amp;U's sole expense and will be entitled to all relief and damages\nawarded.  In either situation, P&amp;U or Gilead will fully cooperate with the\nresponsible party at the responsible party's expense.  Such cooperation shall\ninclude, if required in order to bring such an action, providing information\nrelating to infringement.\n\n     10.3   INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.  In the event that any Licensed\nProduct manufactured, used or sold under this Agreement becomes the subject of a\nthird party claim for patent or trademark infringement anywhere in the world,\nand irrespective of whether Gilead or P&amp;U is charged\n\n                    [*]  CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED\n                                       20.\n\n\n\nwith said infringement, and the venue of such claim, the parties shall promptly\nmeet to consider the claim and the appropriate course of action.  Unless the\nparties otherwise agree, the party against which such third party infringement\nclaim is brought shall defend against such claim at its sole expense and the\nother party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any\nsuch suit, at its sole option and at its own expense.  Such other party shall\nreasonably cooperate with the party conducting the defense of the claim,\nincluding if required to conduct such defense, furnishing a power of attorney.\nNeither party shall enter into any settlement that affects the other party's\nrights or interests without such other party's written consent, which consent\nshall not be unreasonably withheld.  If in the opinion of P&amp;U's counsel, a\nlicense with respect to such third party patents or trademarks is necessary to\nenable P&amp;U to continue to make, use, sell offer for sale or import Licensed\nProduct, then P&amp;U shall notify Gilead of such conclusion and the basis for it\nand give Gilead a reasonable opportunity to oppose such claim.  In the event\nthat Gilead elects not to oppose the claim or does not successfully obtain any\nnecessary license, P&amp;U shall have the right to negotiate directly with such\nthird party for a license.  Fifty percent (50%) of any royalty payable to a\nthird party by P&amp;U necessary to make, use or sell Licensed Product will be\ndeductible from any royalty due Gilead but no such  deduction will be more than\nfifty percent (50%) of any amount due Gilead in a reporting period.  Any third\nparty royalties not deductible in any one reporting period may be carried over\nto the next reporting period until extinguished.\n\n     10.4   PATENT MARKING.  P&amp;U shall mark Licensed Products with appropriate\npatent numbers or indicia at Gilead's instruction and election, as, when and\nwhere P&amp;U may reasonably accommodate same, given packaging, printing schedules\nand other factors, in those countries where markings have notice value as\nagainst infringers.\n\n     10.5   JSC REVIEW OF PATENT STRATEGY.

ENDISPUTE will determine whether the interests between<br \/>\nentities are adverse for purposes of Arbitrator selection, considering such<br \/>\nfactors as whether the entities are represented by the same attorney and whether<br \/>\nthe entities are presenting joint or separate positions at the Arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>     C-12.4    CHAIRPERSON:<\/p>\n<p>     In cases involving more than one Arbitrator, the Case Manager will<br \/>\ndesignate one of the Arbitrators as Chairperson of the Arbitration Panel and<br \/>\nwill promptly notify the Parties of that designation.

The Parties will attempt to agree to time, location and duration of the<br \/>\ndeposition, and if the Parties do not agree these will be determined by the<br \/>\nArbitrator.<\/p>\n<p>     Any Party may conduct depositions of its own witnesses which may be<br \/>\nintroduced as evidence at the Arbitration hearing if the other Party was given<br \/>\nfair opportunity to attend the deposition and cross-examine.<\/p>\n<p>     C-13.6    OTHER DISCOVERY:<\/p>\n<p>     Upon the request of any Party, the Arbitrator will conduct a conference<br \/>\nfor the purpose of determining additional information to be exchanged. Parties<br \/>\nmay request additional depositions, interrogatories or document production. If<br \/>\nthe Arbitrator determines that the requesting Party has a reasonable need for<br \/>\nthe requested information and that the request is not overly burdensome on the<br \/>\nopposing Party, the Arbitrator may order the additional information exchange.<\/p>\n<p>     C-13.7    CONTINUING OBLIGATION:<\/p>\n<p>     As they become aware of new documents or information, including experts who<br \/>\nmay be called upon to testify, all Parties remain under a continuing obligation<br \/>\nto provide documents upon which they rely, to supplement their responses, and to<br \/>\nhonor any informal agreements or understandings between the Parties regarding<br \/>\ndocuments or information to be exchanged.

If the Case Manager does not resolve the<br \/>\ndispute, the Case Manager will arrange a conference concerning the dispute<br \/>\nbefore the Arbitrator by telephone, or in person, and the Arbitrator will decide<br \/>\nthe dispute.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-14 SCHEDULING AND LOCATION OF HEARINGS<\/p>\n<p>     The Case Manager will determine the location, date and time of the<br \/>\nArbitration hearing and other proceedings after consultation with the Arbitrator<br \/>\nand the Parties and will provide reasonable notice of the hearing date and time.<br \/>\nThe Case Manager will make every effort to schedule the Arbitration hearing<br \/>\nwithin one hundred and twenty days (120) of the commencement of the Arbitration,<br \/>\nabsent unusual circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>     The parties may agree on or the Arbitrator for good cause may order a<br \/>\nrescheduling of the hearing date.<\/p>\n<p>                                       11<\/p>\n<p>                                    EXHIBIT B<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-15  PRE-HEARING SUBMISSIONS AND MOTIONS<\/p>\n<p>     C-15.1    CONFERENCE:<br \/>\n     The Arbitrator may require a pre-hearing conference for the purpose of<br \/>\nnarrowing the focus of the Arbitration hearing by stipulations of fact and joint<br \/>\nstatements of issues to be determined, as well as resolving other outstanding<br \/>\nissues relating to the conduct of the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>     C-15.2    SUBMISSIONS:<\/p>\n<p>     No later than seven (7) days before the hearing date, each Party will serve<br \/>\non the Case Manager and all other Parties a list of all documents and other<br \/>\nexhibits it intends to introduce at the hearing and a list of all witnesses who<br \/>\nwill testify on its behalf with a brief statement of the subject matter on which<br \/>\nthey are expected to testify and an estimate of the length of the witness&#8217;s<br \/>\ndirect testimony.<\/p>\n<p>     A copy of any document or other exhibit a Party intends to introduce at the<br \/>\nhearing that has not previously been provided to the Case Manager or the other<br \/>\nParties will be provided with the submission of witness and exhibit lists.<\/p>\n<p>     The Parties will pre-mark all exhibits they intend to introduce as evidence<br \/>\nat the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator may require or any Party may elect to submit written<br \/>\nstatements of their positions before the Arbitration hearing. Unless the<br \/>\nArbitrator requests or permits otherwise, these statements will be submitted at<br \/>\nleast seven (7) days before the scheduled hearing date and will not exceed<br \/>\ntwenty (20) double-spaced 8 1\/2&#8243; x 11&#8243; typewritten pages in length. These<br \/>\nstatements may include summaries of the facts and evidence a Party intends to<br \/>\npresent, discussion of the applicable law and the basis for award or denial of<br \/>\nthe relief sought. Rebuttal Statements or other pre-hearing written submissions<br \/>\nmay be permitted or required at the discretion of the Arbitrator.<\/p>\n<p>     C-15.3    MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY DECISION:<\/p>\n<p>     Upon agreement of all Parties interested in a particular dispute or portion<br \/>\nof a dispute, the Arbitrator may hear and decide Motions for Summary Decision.<br \/>\nIf the Parties agree, they may submit to the Arbitrator written statements of<br \/>\ntheir positions on the Motion not to exceed twenty (20) double-spaced 8 1\/2&#8243; x<br \/>\n11&#8243; typewritten pages in length. The Arbitrator will apply the same standard in<br \/>\ndeciding these Motions as would be applicable to the Arbitration Award.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-16 SECURING WITNESSES FOR THE ARBITRATION HEARING<\/p>\n<p>     At the request of another Party, all other Parties will produce for the<br \/>\nArbitration hearing all witnesses in their employ or under their control and<br \/>\nwithout need of subpoena. The Arbitrator may issue subpoenas for the attendance<br \/>\nof witnesses or the production of documents. In the event a Party or a<br \/>\nsubpoenaed person objects to the production of a witness or other evidence, the<br \/>\nParty may file an objection with the Arbitrator, who will promptly rule on the<br \/>\nobjection, weighing both the burden on the producing Party and the need of the<br \/>\nproponent for the witness.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-17 THE ARBITRATION HEARING<\/p>\n<p>     C-17.1    PROCEDURES:<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator will ordinarily conduct the Arbitration hearing in the<br \/>\nmanner set forth in these Rules. The Arbitrator may vary these procedures if the<br \/>\nArbitrator determines it is reasonable and appropriate to do so. The Arbitrator<br \/>\nmay impose reasonable time limits on each phase of the proceeding and may limit<br \/>\ntestimony to exclude evidence that would be immaterial or unduly repetitive,<br \/>\nprovided that all Parties are afforded the opportunity to present material and<br \/>\nrelevant evidence.<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator will require witnesses to testify under oath if requested by<br \/>\nany Party.<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator will determine the order of proof, which will generally be<br \/>\nsimilar to that of a court trial, including opening and closing statements.<\/p>\n<p>                                       12<\/p>\n<p>                                    EXHIBIT B<\/p>\n<p>     C-17.2.  EVIDENCE:<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator will consider evidence that the Arbitrator finds is relevant<br \/>\nand material to the dispute, giving the evidence such weight as the Arbitrator<br \/>\ndetermines is appropriate.  The Arbitrator may be guided in that determination<br \/>\nby judicial rules of evidence; however, conformity to the judicial rules of<br \/>\nevidence is not required, except that the Arbitrator shall apply the law<br \/>\nrelating to privileges and work product.<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator may receive and consider witnesses&#8217; deposition testimony<br \/>\nrecorded by transcript or videotape, provided that the other Parties had the<br \/>\nopportunity to amend and cross examine.  The Arbitrator may in his or her<br \/>\ndiscretion receive and consider witness affidavits or other recorded testimony,<br \/>\nbut will give that evidence only such weight as the Arbitrator deems<br \/>\nappropriate.<\/p>\n<p>     The Parties will not offer as evidence and the Arbitrator will not admit or<br \/>\nconsider prior settlement offers by the Parties or statements or recommendations<br \/>\nmade by a mediator or other person in connection with efforts to resolve the<br \/>\ndispute being arbitrated.<\/p>\n<p>     C-17.3.  CLOSING:<\/p>\n<p>     When the Arbitrator determines that all relevant and material evidence and<br \/>\narguments have been presented, the Arbitrator will declare the hearing closed.<br \/>\nThe Arbitrator may defer the closing of the hearing for up to twenty (20) days<br \/>\nto permit the Parties to submit post-hearing briefs and or to make closing<br \/>\narguments, as the Arbitrator deems appropriate, before rendering an award.<\/p>\n<p>     C-17.4.  REOPENING:<\/p>\n<p>     At any time before the award is rendered, the Arbitrator may, on his or her<br \/>\nown initiative or on application of a Party, for good cause shown, re-open the<br \/>\nhearing.  If the hearing is re-opened and the re-opening prevents the rendering<br \/>\nof the award within the time limits specified by these Rules, the time limits<br \/>\nwill be extended for an appropriate period of time.<\/p>\n<p>     C-17.5.  PARTY ABSENCE:<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator may proceed with the hearing in the absence of a Party who,<br \/>\nafter receiving reasonable notice, fails or declines to be present.  The<br \/>\nArbitrator will not render an award solely on the basis of the default or<br \/>\nabsence of the Party, but will require any Parties who are present to submit<br \/>\nsuch evidence as the Arbitrator may require for the rendering of an award.<\/p>\n<p>     C-17.6  RECORD:<\/p>\n<p>     No stenographic record will be made of the hearing unless agreed by the<br \/>\nParties.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-18  WAIVER OF HEARING<\/p>\n<p>     The Parties may agree to waive oral hearing and submit the dispute to the<br \/>\nArbitrator for an award based on written submissions and other evidence upon<br \/>\nwhich the Parties agree.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-19  THE AWARD<\/p>\n<p>     C-19.1.  TIMING:<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator will render the award within ten (10) days after the date of<br \/>\nthe closing of the hearing or, if an arbitration hearing has been waived, within<br \/>\nten (10) days after the date of the Arbitrator&#8217;s receiving all materials<br \/>\nspecified by the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>     C-19.2.  MAJORITY:<\/p>\n<p>     Where a panel of Arbitrators has heard the case, the decision and award of<br \/>\na majority of the panel will constitute the Arbitration Award and will be<br \/>\nbinding on the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>                                       13<\/p>\n<p>                                    EXHIBIT B<\/p>\n<p>     C-19.3.  STANDARD FOR AWARD:<\/p>\n<p>     Unless the Parties specify a different standard, in making the award the<br \/>\nArbitrator shall be guided by principles of law and equity as applied to the<br \/>\nfacts found at the Arbitration, including those relating to custom and agreement<br \/>\nbetween the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator is empowered to award any remedy allowed by law, including<br \/>\nmultiple damages, prejudgment interest and attorneys&#8217; fees, and to grant final,<br \/>\ncomplete, interim, or interlocutory relief, including injunctive relief.<br \/>\nNotwithstanding this empowerment, the Arbitrator may not award punitive damages<br \/>\nunless previously agreed by the Parties, or unless punitive damages are required<br \/>\nby law to be an available remedy in such cases, or unless punitive damages are<br \/>\navailable pursuant to special ENDISPUTE Arbitration Rules applicable to the<br \/>\ncase.  In the award, the Arbitrator may also asses Arbitration fees and expenses<br \/>\nin favor of either Party if provided by agreement of the Parties, or in favor of<br \/>\nENDISPUTE in the event that the Arbitrator finds that fees or expenses are due<br \/>\nENDISPUTE.<\/p>\n<p>     The award will consist of a written statement signed by the Arbitrator<br \/>\nregarding the disposition of each claim and the amounts of any damages awarded<br \/>\nas to each claim, or any other relief granted.  The Arbitrator will also provide<br \/>\na concise statement of the Arbitrator&#8217;s reasons for the award, but such<br \/>\nstatement shall not become part of the award nor be admissible in any judicial<br \/>\nproceeding to enforce or vacate the award.<\/p>\n<p>     C-19.4.  ISSUANCE:<\/p>\n<p>     ENDISPUTE will issue the Arbitrator&#8217;s award by serving copies on the<br \/>\nParties.  The date of issuance will be the date that the award is placed in the<br \/>\nmail or personally served on the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>     C-19.5.  CORRECTION:<\/p>\n<p>     Within seven (7) days after issuance of the award, any Party, with notice<br \/>\nto all other Parties, may request that the Arbitrator correct any computational,<br \/>\nclerical, typographical or similar error in an award, or the Arbitrator may<br \/>\ncorrect such errors in the award on his or her own initiative.  The Arbitrator<br \/>\nwillmake any necessary and appropriate correction to the award within seven (7)<br \/>\ndays of receiving a request.  The corrected award will be issued pursuant to<br \/>\nthis Rule.<\/p>\n<p>     C-19.6.  FINAL AND BINDING:<\/p>\n<p>     After the expiration of seven (7) days from issuance of an award as to<br \/>\nwhich no correction is made or requested, the award will be final and binding on<br \/>\nthe Parties.  If the award is corrected as provided for above, the corrected<br \/>\naward will be final and binding on the Parties after the expiration of seven (7)<br \/>\ndays from its issuance.<\/p>\n<p>     C-19.7.  COMPLIANCE:<\/p>\n<p>     Unless otherwise ordered by the Arbitrator, any money damages awarded will<br \/>\nbe paid and any other relief awarded will be complied with within thirty (30)<br \/>\ndays of the issuance of the award, assuming that no correction has been made, or<br \/>\nwithin thirty (30) days of issuance of a corrected award.  If a Party fails to<br \/>\npay within thirty (30) days or the time period ordered by the Arbitrator,<br \/>\ninterest will accrue on the total award at 12% per annum or 1% per month,<br \/>\nbeginning on the date of issuance of the award.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-20  ENFORCEMENT OF THE AWARD<\/p>\n<p>     Proceedings to enforce, confirm, modify or vacate an award will be<br \/>\ncontrolled by and conducted in conformity with the Federal Arbitration Act 9<br \/>\nU.S.C. Sec. 9 ET SEQ. or applicable state law.  The prevailing Party in any such<br \/>\nproceeding will recover from the non-prevailing Party all reasonable costs,<br \/>\nincluding attorneys fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the action.<\/p>\n<p>                                       14<\/p>\n<p>                                    EXHIBIT B<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-21  CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY<\/p>\n<p>     The Parties, the Case Manager, and the Arbitrator will treat the<br \/>\nArbitration proceeding, including the hearing and any conferences, discovery or<br \/>\nother related events, as confidential, except as necessary in connection with a<br \/>\njudicial challenge to or enforcement of an award, or unless otherwise required<br \/>\nby law or judicial decision.<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator may issue orders to protect the confidentiality of<br \/>\nproprietary information, trade secrets or other sensitive information.<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator, the Case Manager, and the Parties will maintain the privacy<br \/>\nof all Arbitration conferences and hearings. Subject to the discretion of the<br \/>\nArbitrator and agreement of the Parties, any person having a direct interest<br \/>\nin the Arbitration may attend the Arbitration conferences and hearings. The<br \/>\nArbitrator will have the discretion to exclude any person or non-party witness<br \/>\nfrom any part of a hearing.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-22  WAIVER OF OBJECTION<\/p>\n<p>     If a Party becomes aware of a violation or failure to comply with these<br \/>\nRules and fails to object promptly in writing, the objection will be deemed<br \/>\nwaived, unless the Arbitrator determines that waiver will cause substantial<br \/>\ninjustice or hardship.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-23  SETTLEMENT AND CONSENT AWARD<\/p>\n<p>     The Parties may agree, at any stage of the proceedings, to submit the case<br \/>\nto ENDISPUTE for mediation. The ENDISPUTE mediator assigned to the case will not<br \/>\nbe the Arbitrator or any of the Arbitrator candidates submitted to the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>     The Parties may also agree to seek the assistance of the Arbitrator in<br \/>\nreaching settlement. However, the Arbitrator&#8217;s assistance in such settlement<br \/>\nefforts will not disqualify the Arbitrator from serving as Arbitrator if<br \/>\nsettlement is not reached.<\/p>\n<p>     If the Parties inform the Case Manager, in writing, that they have reached<br \/>\na settlement, the Arbitration will be deemed terminated. If the Parties request,<br \/>\nthe Arbitrator will set forth the terms of the agreed settlement in an award<br \/>\nwhich will be referred to as a Consent Award and will be binding on the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-24  SANCTIONS<\/p>\n<p>     The Arbitrator may award appropriate sanctions for failure of a Party to<br \/>\ncomply with its obligations under any of these Rules. These sanctions may<br \/>\ninclude but are not limited to assessment of costs, prohibition of certain<br \/>\nevidence, or in extreme cases, ruling on an issue submitted to Arbitration<br \/>\nadversely to the Party who has failed to comply.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-25  DISQUALIFICATION OF THE ARBITRATOR AND EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY<\/p>\n<p>     The Parties agree not to call the Arbitrator, the Case Manager or any other<br \/>\nENDISPUTE employee as a witness or as an expert in any pending or subsequent<br \/>\nlitigation or other proceeding involving the Parties and relating to the dispute<br \/>\nwhich is the subject of the Arbitration.

The Parties<br \/>\nagree to defend the Arbitrator, the Case Manager and ENDISPUTE from any<br \/>\nsubpoenas from outside parties arising from the Arbitration. The Parties agree<br \/>\nthat<\/p>\n<p>                                       15<\/p>\n<p>                                    EXHIBIT B<\/p>\n<p>neither ENDISPUTE nor the Arbitrator nor the Case Manager is a necessary party<br \/>\nin any litigation or other proceeding relating to the Arbitration or the subject<br \/>\nmatter of the Arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>     Neither ENDISPUTE nor its employees or agents, including the Arbitrator and<br \/>\nCase Manager, shall be liable to any Party for any act or omission in connection<br \/>\nwith any Arbitration conducted under these Rules.<\/p>\n<p>RULE C-26  FEES<\/p>\n<p>     Each party will pay its pro rata share of ENDISPUTE&#8217;s fees and expenses<br \/>\nas set forth in the ENDISPUTE Fee schedule in the effect at the time of the<br \/>\nCommencement of the Arbitration.
