DAS shall have the option to withdraw the proposed modification (and hold PMC
harmless of any consequences due to such withdrawal) or to negotiate a payment
plan acceptable to PMC. DAS will notify PMC as soon as reasonably practical of
any changes to any DAS Specifications; procedures or other areas that are filed

PMC's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld and PMC
shall exercise its best efforts, subject to the terms of this Section, to timely
and efficiently make such modifications as may be required and agreed to
pursuant to this Section.

                  DAS shall hold PMC harmless of any consequences of such
changes.

PMC SOPs, the parties shall equally share the Laboratory expenses.

                  Until such time as the Laboratory determines whether the PMC
Product conforms to PMC and DAS Specifications, DAS may withhold payment to PMC
of any amounts due in respect of the subject Manufacturing Order and deposit
such withheld payment in an interest-bearing bank account with a French bank,
and shall provide evidence of the same to PMC. In the event that the subject PMC
Product is determined to be conforming PMC shall receive all amounts in such
interest bearing bank account.

                  13.2 NON-PAYMENT FOR NON-CONFORMING PMC PRODUCT. If DAS
rejects any PMC Product and if it is determined by the Laboratory that such PMC
Product did not or would conform with the Protocol, DAS Specifications or PMC
SOPs, PMC shall at DAS's option use its best efforts to replace the non
conforming PMC Product as promptly as possible in accordance with the duration
of the production of PMC Product or issue a refund therefor, the costs of such
PMC Product shall not be paid to PMC, and PMC shall credit DAS with (i) DAS's

         ("Confidential Information"), and each party shall not disclose
         directly or indirectly, and shall cause its Representatives not to
         disclose directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information to anyone
         outside such Person and each of their Affiliates and their respective
         Representatives, except that the foregoing restriction shall not apply
         to any information disclosed hereunder to any party, if such Person
         (the Receiving Person") can demonstrate that such Confidential
         Information:

         (i)      is or hereafter becomes generally available other than by
                  reason of any breach or default by the Receiving Person, any
                  of its Affiliates or any Representative of the foregoing with
                  respect to a confidentiality obligation under this Agreement;

         (ii)     was already known to the Receiving Person or such affiliate or
                  Representative;

         In any event, if the Receiving Person is unable to promptly notify the
         Disclosing Person or if such protective order or other remedy is not
         obtained, or if the Disclosing Person waives compliance with the

         limitation, ensuring that only those Persons who have a bona fide need
         to know such Confidential Information for purposes permitted or
         contemplated by this Agreement shall have access thereto. Each party,
         shall notify all of its Representatives who have access to Confidential
         Information of its confidentiality and the care therefor required, and
         shall obtain from any Affiliate or any agent or subcontractor who is a

         summaries, records, descriptions, modifications, and duplications that
         it, or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, has made from the
         documents or tangible items received from the Disclosing Person or any
         affiliate or Representative thereof; provided, however, that the
         Receiving Person may retain one copy of each document in its legal fees
         solely to permit the Receiving Person to continue to comply with its
         obligations hereunder and, in addition, may upon notice to the
         Disclosing Person, retain in its legal files or in the office of
         outside legal counsel one copy of any document solely for use in any
         pending legal proceeding to which such document relates.

by PMC upon [***], but only if DAS fails to pay an amount when due that is not
subject to a good faith dispute between the parties, and DAS has not cured such
breach within [***]. This Agreement may be terminated by DAS in the event that
PMC fails to perform or otherwise breaches any of its material obligations under
this Agreement, by giving notice to PMC of its intent to terminate and stating
the grounds therefor. PMC shall have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt
thereof cure the failure or breach. In the event the breach is not cured within
the time period set forth herein, then this Agreement shall, at the option of
DAS, terminate at the end of [***]. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in
