Licensee informed of the course of such patent prosecution.

Section 7.2.  Infringement  Notice.  Licensee shall notify Licensor  promptly in
writing of any infringement of any issued Licensed Patent or other  interference
with Licensor's  proprietary  interests relating to the Technology or the Martek
Products which becomes known to Licensee. If Licensor determines that a material
infringement  exists,  Licensor shall communicate such determination to Licensee
in writing and take prompt action to attempt to eliminate that infringement.

Section 7.3. Infringement Actions. If Licensor receives Licensee's  infringement
notice  under  Section  7.2 of this  Agreement  and  within  a  reasonable  time
thereafter  Licensor is unsuccessful in eliminating the  infringement,  Licensor
shall have the first right to bring, at its own expense,  an infringement action
against any Third Party within a reasonable  time * If Licensor waives its right
to  bring  such  an  infringement  action  in  writing  to  Licensee  or has not
eliminated  such  infringement  or initiated an  infringement  suit *, Licensee,
after  notifying   Licensor  in  writing,   shall  be  entitled  to  bring  such
infringement action at its own expense. The party not bringing such infringement
action shall provide  assistance,  at the requesting party's expense,  as may be
reasonably  requested  by the party  bringing  such  action,  including  without
limitation  joining an infringement suit as a party. * The party conducting such
action shall have full control over its conduct,  including  settlement thereof,
provided that no offer of settlement,  settlement or compromise shall be binding
on a party  without  its  prior  written  consent  (which  consent  shall not be
unreasonably  withheld) unless such settlement fully releases such party without
any liability, loss, cost or obligation to such party.

provide  assistance,  at its  own  (respective)  expense,  as may be  reasonably
requested  by the  defending  party.  In the event that  Licensee is required to

Products, *

                                    INDEMNITY

Section 10.1. Indemnity by Licensee.  Licensee shall indemnify,  defend and hold
harmless Licensor and Licensor's directors,  officers, employees and agents from
and  against  all  Claims  and all Loss for  which  Licensor  or its  directors,
officers,  employees or agents may become liable or incur or be compelled to pay
and  resulting   from  of  a  breach  of  any  of  the   Licensee's   covenants,
representations and warranties or other material terms and conditions  contained
herein, *

of  either  of them  may  become  liable  or incur  or be  compelled  to pay and
resulting from: (i) a defect in the Martek  Products  purchased by Licensee from
Licensor under the Supply Agreement  (excluding the determination of a defect in
the safety and utility of the Martek  Product  relating to its use in a Licensee
Product);  (ii) the  failure of  Licensor  to  manufacture  the Martek  Products
purchased by Licensee from Licensor in accordance with  specifications  mutually
agreed to by Licensor and Licensee in the Supply Agreement; (iii) any negligence
or intentional  wrongdoing of Licensor;  and (iv) the breach by Licensor of this

indemnifying  party  of  the  basis  for  such  claim  of  indemnification.   If
indemnification  is sought as a result of any third  party  claim or suit,  such
notice to the indemnifying party shall be within fifteen (15) days after receipt
by the  other  party of such  claim  or suit (if to  Abbott,  notice  to  Abbott
Laboratories,  Risk  Management,  D-317,  100 Abbott Park Road,  Abbott Park, IL
60064-3500, with copy to the Abbott persons identified in Section 12.5 below; if
to Licensor, notice as set forth in Section 12.5 below); provided, however, that
the  failure to give  notice  within  such time  period  shall not  relieve  the
indemnifying  party of its obligation to indemnify unless it shall be materially
prejudiced by the failure. Each party shall fully cooperate with the other party
in the defense of all such claims or suits.  No offer of settlement,  settlement
or  compromise  shall be binding on a party  hereto  without  its prior  written
consent  (which  consent  shall  not  be  unreasonably   withheld)  unless  such
settlement  fully  releases  such party  without any  liability,  loss,  cost or
obligation to such party.

provided in this  Agreement,  including  that  provided  in this  Article and in

                                 CONFIDENTIALITY

Section  11.1.  Disclosure  of  Information.  All the  Technology  and all other
information  exchanged  by the parties  pursuant  to, and in  execution of their
obligations  and in exercise of their  rights  under,  this  Agreement  shall be
deemed confidential.  Licensor and Licensee acknowledge and agree that the value
of the Technology, the Martek Products, and the Licensee Products is based, to a
large extent, on maintaining the  confidentiality of the Technology,  the Martek
Products and the Licensee Products and preventing any unauthorized dissemination
to or use by Third  Parties of  information  relating to the  Technology  or the
Martek  Products.   Disclosure  of  confidential  and  proprietary   information
hereunder,  whether  orally or in  written  form,  shall be  safeguarded  by the
recipient  and  shall  not be  disclosed  to  Third  Parties  and  shall be made
available  only to the  receiving  party's  employees or other agents who have a
need  to  know  such   information   for  purposes  of  performing  the  party's
obligations,  or for  purposes  of  exercising  the party's  rights,  under this
Agreement  and such  employees or other agents shall have a legal  obligation to
the employer or principal,  as applicable,  not to disclose such  information to
Third Parties. Each party shall treat any and all such confidential  information
in the same manner and with the same  protection as such party maintains its own
confidential information.  These mutual obligations of confidentiality shall not
apply to any  information to the extent that such  information:  (i) is or later
becomes generally  available to the public, such as by publication or otherwise,
through no fault of the  receiving  party;  (ii) is obtained  from a Third Party
having  the legal  right to make such a  disclosure;  or (iii) is  independently
developed by a party without access to the confidential  information.  Licensor,
Licensee or Licensee's  Affiliates shall not remove from any  communications  or
other documents  delivered by a disclosing party any proprietary notices affixed
thereto by the disclosing party.

Without  the prior  written  approval of the other party  hereto,  Licensor  and
Licensee  shall not be  permitted  to  disclose  (including  but not  limited to
disclosure  in  response  to  questions),  announce,  or  issue a press  release
concerning  the  fact,  the  nature  and the  terms  of this  Agreement  and the
transactions  to be performed  pursuant  hereto to any Third  Person;  provided,
however, that (i) Licensor and Licensee may disclose any otherwise  confidential
or proprietary  information  as and to the extent  required by applicable law or
government  agency,  including,  but not limited to, any  applicable  disclosure
requirements  under  the  federal  securities  laws or  regulations  thereunder,
provided  that the  disclosing  party gives no less than five (5) business  days
prior  written  notice to the  other  party  and  gives  the  other  party  such
assistance  as the other  party  may  reasonably  request,  in  accordance  with
applicable  law,  in  order  to  prevent,  challenge,  modify  or  protect  such
disclosure  ; (ii)  Licensor and Licensee may disclose the fact and the terms of
this  Agreement to its attorneys and  accountants;  and (iii) promptly after the
date of this  Agreement,  Licensor and Licensee shall agree in writing upon, and
issue together, a joint press release.

Section 11.2. Post-Termination  Obligations. * Licensee promptly shall return to
Licensor all the Technology, Martek Product samples, documents, records, and all
other  property  or  documentation  disclosed  or  delivered  to Licensee or its
Affiliates  pursuant to this  Agreement  and then in  existence,  subject to the
retention by Licensee of one (1) copy thereof for archival purposes.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1.  Dispute  Resolution.  Licensor and Licensee covenant and agree to
use their  diligent  efforts to resolve any disputes  that arise between them in
the future and are  related to this  Agreement  through  negotiation  and mutual
agreement  and, if good faith  efforts to so negotiate  and  mutually  agree are
unavailing,  through  binding  ADR under the  procedures  set forth in Exhibit 3
attached to this  Agreement.  The results of such ADR shall be final and binding
on the parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section  12.2  Information  Exchange.  During  the term of this  agreement,  the
parties  shall  promptly  notify  each other of any  report of an adverse  event
associated  with the use of a Martek  Product  in any  infant  formula  product.
Licensee shall have sole discretion in determining what action, if any, is to be
taken in  connection  with any such adverse  event report  relating to an Infant
Formula Product.

Section 12.3. Force Majeure. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable for
damages due to delay or failure to perform any  obligation  under this Agreement
if such delay or failure  results  directly  or  indirectly  from  circumstances
beyond the control of such party. Such  circumstances  shall include,  but shall
not be limited to, acts of God, acts of war, civil commotions,  riots,  strikes,
lockouts,  acts  of the  government  in  either  its  sovereign  or  contractual
capacity, perturbation in telecommunications transmissions,  inability to obtain
suitable  equipment  or  components,   accident,  fire,  water  damages,  flood,
earthquake, or other natural catastrophes.

                         Alternative Dispute Resolution


The parties  recognize  that bona fide disputes as to certain  matters may arise
from  time to time  during  the term of this  Agreement  which  relate to either
party's  rights  and/or  obligations.  To have such a dispute  resolved  by this
Alternative  Dispute  Resolution  ("ADR")  provision,  a party  first  must send
written  notice of the dispute to the other party for  attempted  resolution  by
good faith negotiations between their respective presidents (or their designees)
of the affected subsidiaries,  divisions,  or business units within twenty-eight
(28) days after such notice is received  (all  references  to "days" in this ADR
provision are to calendar days).

If the matter has not been resolved within  twenty-eight (28) days of the notice
of dispute,  or if the parties fail to meet within such  twenty-eight (28) days,
either  party may initiate an ADR  proceeding  as provided  herein.  The parties
shall have the right to be represented by counsel in such a proceeding.

1. To begin an ADR proceeding, a party shall provide written notice to the other
party of the issues to be resolved by ADR.  Within  fourteen (14) days after its
receipt of such  notice,  the other  party may,  by written  notice to the party
initiating the ADR, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR.

2. Within twenty-one (21) days following receipt of the original ADR notice, the
parties shall select a mutually  acceptable neutral to preside in the resolution
of any disputes in this ADR proceeding.  If the parties are unable to agree on a
mutually  acceptable  neutral  within such period,  either party may request the
President  of the CPR  Institute  for Dispute  Resolution  ("CPR"),  366 Madison
Avenue,  14th Floor,  New York, New York 10017, to select a neutral  pursuant to
the following procedures:

(a) The CPR  shall  submit  to the  parties  a list of not  less  than  five (5)
candidates  within  fourteen (14) days after receipt of the request,  along with
Curriculum  Vitae  for  each  candidate.  No  candidate  shall  be an  employee,
director,  or  shareholder  of  either  party  or any of their  subsidiaries  or
affiliates.

(b) Such list shall include a statement of  disclosure by each  candidate of any
circumstances likely to affect his or her impartiality.

(c) Each party shall  number the  candidates  in order of  preference  (with the
number one (1) signifying the greatest preference) and shall deliver the list to
the CPR within seven (7) days following receipt of the list of candidates.  If a
party believes a conflict of interest  exists  regarding any of the  candidates,
that party shall provide a written  explanation of the conflict to the CPR along
with its list  showing its order of  preference  for the  candidates.  Any party
failing to return a list of preferences on time shall be deemed to have no order
of preference.

(d) If the parties  collectively have identified fewer than three (3) candidates
deemed to have conflicts, the CPR immediately shall designate as the neutral the
candidate  for  whom  the  parties  collectively  have  indicated  the  greatest
preference. If a tie should result between two candidates, the CPR may designate
either candidate.  If the parties collectively have identified three (3) or more
candidates  deemed to have  conflicts,  the CPR shall  review  the  explanations
regarding  conflicts  and, in its sole  discretion,  may either (i)  immediately
designate as the neutral the  candidate for whom the parties  collectively  have
indicated  the  greatest  preference,  or (ii) issue a new list of not less than
five (5)  candidates,  in which case the procedures  set forth in  subparagraphs
2(a) - 2(d) shall be repeated.

3. No earlier  than  twenty-eight  (28) days or later than  fifty-six  (56) days
after selection,  the neutral shall hold a hearing to resolve each of the issues
identified  by the parties.  The ADR  proceeding  shall take place at a location
agreed upon by the  parties.  If the parties  cannot  agree,  the neutral  shall
designate a location other than the principal  place of business of either party
or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

4. At least seven (7) days prior to the  hearing,  each party  shall  submit the
following to the other party and the neutral:

(a) a copy of all  exhibits  on which such party  intends to rely in any oral or
written presentation to the neutral;

(b) a list of any  witnesses  such party  intends to call at the hearing,  and a
short summary of the anticipated testimony of each witness;

(c) a proposed ruling on each issue to be resolved,  together with a request for
a specific damage award or other remedy for each issue. The proposed rulings and
remedies  shall not contain any  recitation of the facts or any legal  arguments
and shall not exceed one (1) page per issue.

Exchange Commission.
<PAGE>
(d) a brief in support of such party's proposed  rulings and remedies,  provided
that the brief shall not exceed twenty (20) pages.  This page  limitation  shall
apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

Except as expressly set forth in  subparagraphs  4(a) - 4(d), no discovery shall
be required or permitted by any means, including  depositions,  interrogatories,
requests for admissions, or production of documents.

5. The  hearing  shall be  conducted  on two (2)  consecutive  days and shall be
governed by the following rules:

(a) Each party shall be  entitled  to five (5) hours of hearing  time to present
its case.  The neutral shall  determine  whether each party has had the five (5)
hours to which it is entitled.

(b)  Each  party  shall  be  entitled,  but not  required,  to  make an  opening
statement,  to  present  regular  and  rebuttal  testimony,  documents  or other
evidence,  to  cross-examine   witnesses,   and  to  make  a  closing  argument.
Cross-examination  of  witnesses  shall occur  immediately  after  their  direct
testimony,  and  cross-examination  time  shall be  charged  against  the  party
conducting the cross-examination.

(c) The party  initiating  the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to
make an opening statement,  shall address not only issues it raised but also any
issues raised by the responding  party.  The responding  party, if it chooses to
make an opening  statement,  also shall  address  all issues  raised in the ADR.
Thereafter,  the  presentation of regular and rebuttal  testimony and documents,
other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.

(d) Except when  testifying,  witnesses shall be excluded from the hearing until
closing arguments.

(e) Settlement negotiations, including any statements made therein, shall not be
admissible under any circumstances.  Affidavits prepared for purposes of the ADR
hearing also shall not be admissible. As to all other matters, the neutral shall
have sole discretion regarding the admissibility of any evidence.

6. Within seven (7) days  following  completion  of the hearing,  each party may
submit to the other party and the neutral a post-hearing brief in support of its
proposed  rulings and  remedies,  provided  that such brief shall not contain or
discuss  any new  evidence  and  shall  not  exceed  ten (10)  pages.  This page
limitation  shall  apply  regardless  of the number of issues  raised in the ADR
proceeding.

7. The neutral  shall rule on each  disputed  issue  within  fourteen  (14) days
following completion of the hearing. Such ruling shall adopt in its entirety the
proposed  ruling and remedy of one of the parties on each disputed issue but may
adopt one party's  proposed  rulings  and  remedies on some issues and the other
party's  proposed  rulings and remedies on other  issues.  The neutral shall not
issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling.

8. The neutral  shall be paid a  reasonable  fee plus  expenses.  These fees and
expenses,  along with the  reasonable  legal fees and expenses of the prevailing
party (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of
a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows:

(a) If the  neutral  rules in favor of one party on all  disputed  issues in the
ADR, the losing party shall pay 100% of such fees and expenses.

(b) If the  neutral  rules in favor of one  party on some  issues  and the other
party on other  issues,  the  neutral  shall  issue  with the  rulings a written
determination  as to how such fees and expenses  shall be allocated  between the
parties.  The neutral  shall  allocate  fees and  expenses in a way that bears a
reasonable  relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the party prevailing on
more issues,  or on issues of greater value or gravity,  recovering a relatively
larger share of its legal fees and expenses.

9. The rulings of the neutral and the  allocation of fees and expenses  shall be
binding,  non-reviewable,  and  non-appealable,  and may be  entered  as a final
judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

10.  Except as provided in paragraph 9 or as required by law,  the  existence of
the dispute,  any  settlement  negotiations,  the ADR hearing,  any  submissions
(including exhibits,  testimony,  proposed rulings, and briefs), and the rulings
shall be deemed Confidential  Information.  The neutral shall have the authority
to impose sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information.
