this Agreement whether or not the breach is caused by APP or any sublicensee.

designated in writing by ABI, which manufacturer(s) shall initially be APP under
the Manufacturing Agreement. ABI hereby designates APP as a manufacturer from

               2.4  If ABI terminates APP's right to manufacture Product under
the Manufacturing Agreement for any reason other than under Section 12.2 or 12.4

      --------------------
Agreement, ABI shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to arrange for

this License Agreement. In each case, ABI shall provide that the supplier of
Product to APP shall be responsible for the purity and conformance to
Specifications of the Product supplied to APP, and shall indemnify ABI and APP
to the same extent as APP indemnifies ABI under the Manufacturing Agreement.

          2.5  Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties:

     Party may directly or indirectly market, distribute, sell or offer to sell
     the Product outside the Territory, nor may any APP Party directly or
     indirectly market, distribute, sell or offer to sell the Product to anyone
     that it has knowledge intends to, or reasonably believes intends to,

     Product to anyone outside the Territory.

     sell the Product to anyone inside the Territory.

          2.6  So long as APP has made all milestone payments required under
Section 9, the license to APP shall convey the exclusive right to market and

oncology indications for which milestone payments have been made under Section
                                                                       -------
9, and ABI may, in its discretion, market or license the Product in the
-
Territory, for those indications for which APP did not make milestone payments.
Neither Party will be responsible to the other Party for the distribution or

than those as to which it holds express rights under this Agreement, at the time
of the distribution or sale.

          2.7  Except as expressly provided in Section 14, nothing in this
                                               ----------

and throughout the term of this Agreement, all Technology. Each Party agrees to

all modifications and improvements made to the Technology during the term of
this Agreement. APP will immediately transfer to ABI all right, title and
interest in and to any process, product, composition, or product-by-process, or
any improvements thereto, including inventions ("Developments"), made by the APP
Parties using

<PAGE>

ABI's processes or outputs ("Processes") (collectively, the "ABI Owned
Developments"). From and after their development, the ABI Owned Developments
will be included within the scope of the license granted to APP under this
Agreement. APP will own any Developments made by APP or its assignees using any
process or output other than the Processes, provided such Developments are
developed solely by APP or its assignees without any input from ABI or any of
its employees, including Patrick Soon-Shiong. Any Developments that are
developed solely by APP without using any Processes are referred to as the "APP
Owned Developments." APP may take whatever steps it deems necessary to protect
its rights in the APP Owned Developments. APP further grants to ABI, subject to
Section 17.2, a perpetual, royalty-free license to use all of the APP Owned
------------
Developments that are used or needed by APP in the manufacture or
commercialization of the Product.

     4.  Marketing.  Subject to Section 9, APP will use reasonable commercial
         ---------
efforts to market, distribute and sell the Product under the license granted
under this Agreement. Those efforts will include marketing, distributing and
selling the Product on its own merits and not in a manner instead intended to
promote other Products. Any advertising of the Product by the APP Parties must
be free from unwarranted statements and all advertising and promotional
materials will be subject to the review and comment of ABI. APP will continue to
promote the sale of the Product in the Territory during the term of this
Agreement, and will maintain the types of facilities, places of business,
approvals, employees (or third party representatives) that are necessary to do
so.

be allowed to take as a credit against the payments of Section 8.1(C) in excess
of $25 million, any amounts above $22 million advanced to ABI by APP. Promptly
after the execution of this Agreement, ABI and APP will enter into an agreement
to secure ABI's obligation under this Section 8.2.

     9.  Milestone Payments.
         ------------------

               9.1  In addition to the payments provided for in Section 8,
                                                                ---------
Section 10 and Section 11, upon notice to APP from ABI of the achievement of the
----------     ----------
following milestones, and within 30 days of that notice (subject to the
provisions of Sections 9.4 and 9.5), APP is required to make the following
              --------------------
respective one-time payments:

                         [***]

               9.2  With respect to [***], the respective payment will be
reduced to $5 million.

<PAGE>

               9.3  No milestone payment with respect to lung, ovarian or
prostrate cancers, or other cancer indications will be due and payable prior to
Regulatory Approval of the NDA for a breast cancer indication.

               9.4  In the event one or more of the milestone payments under
Section 9.1 (A) - (H) are due before APP has an IPO, and ABI at that time owns
---------------------                                ---
or controls at least fifty percent (50%) of APP's capital stock, APP shall be
allowed to pay such milestone payment(s) [***] Any marketing or distribution of
Product for such indication by APP after such failure to make a milestone
payment will be a breach of this Agreement by APP. From and after APP's failure
to make such milestone payment, ABI will have the right to use the Technology
for the relevant indication in any manner it deems appropriate, including use
within the Territory.

               9.5  APP may decline to make the milestone payments set forth in
subsections (I), (J), (K) and (L) of Section 9.1 if, and only if, at the time
---------------------------------    -----------
that the milestone is met and notice is provided by ABI to APP, Net Sales of the
Product by APP do not, in the aggregate, equal or exceed [***] (the "Milestone
                                                                     ---------
Minimum").
-------
                       (A)  If, upon 30 days notice from ABI that it has
     achieved a milestone set forth in subsections (I), (J), (K) or (L) of
     Section 9.1, APP has achieved the Milestone Minimum, then APP is required
     to pay to ABI the milestone payment provided for in the relevant
     subsection.

                       (B)  If, upon 30 days notice from ABI that it has
     achieved a milestone set forth in subsections (I), (J), (K) or (L) of
     Section 9.1, APP has not achieved the Milestone Minimum, then upon notice
     from ABI, APP is required to pay to ABI the milestone payment provided for
     in subsections (I), (J), (K) or (L) of Section 9.1 or indicate in writing
     that it is declining to make the payment. APP's failure to make a certain
     milestone payment in subsections (I), (J), (K) or (L) of Section 9.1, or to
     indicate that it is declining to make such a payment if the Milestone
     Minimum has not been achieved, will be deemed a declination by APP to make
     such milestone payment.

                       (C)  Following APP's declination or deemed declination to
     make a milestone payment, upon each declination or deemed declination, the
     relevant indication for which the milestone set forth in subsections (I),
     (J), (K) or (L) was achieved will no longer be included within the license
     grant to APP and APP will have no further right to use, market, distribute,
     import, export, sell and offer to sell the Product for such indication. Any
     marketing or distribution of Product for such indication by APP after its
     declination or deemed declination to make the milestone payment will be a
     breach of this Agreement by APP. From and after the declination or deemed
     declination by APP, ABI will have the right to use the Technology for the
     relevant indication in any manner it deems appropriate.

               9.6  Once a milestone payment has been made under this Section 9
for a particular indication (e.g., breast cancer), no additional payment shall
be due for label expansion or improvements within such indication.

     10.  Share of Gross Profit or Loss.
          -----------------------------

               10.1  APP will pay to ABI:

                     (A)  Except as set forth in Sections 9.4 and 9.5 and
     Section 10.1(B), [50% of the Gross Profits on sales of the Product in the
     Territory by the APP Parties. For purposes hereof, Gross Profits on sales
     of the Product by APP's permitted sublicensees in the United States is the
     greater of actual Gross Profits of the sublicensees or the Gross Profits
     that APP would have earned based upon its recent prior results if it had
     sold the Product itself in the United States rather than through a
     permitted licensee.

                     (B)  50% of the consideration received by APP from any
     sublicensees in Canada and Mexico, in consideration for the grant of
     sublicenses of Technology, as permitted in Section 2.2 herein. As used in
     this Section 10.1(B), consideration shall include amounts received from
     such sublicenses for the sale of Product to them by APP or its Affiliates,
     less the Actual Cost of such Product (as defined in Section 10.6).

               10.2  Except as provided in Section 16, APP's obligation to pay a
                                           ----------
percentage of the Gross Profits or consideration received by the APP Parties
will cease on a country-by-country basis within the Territory, after expiration,
in each respective country, of the last to expire of all patents listed on
Exhibit A, as such Exhibit A may be amended from time to time by mutual
---------          ---------
agreement of the Parties. Despite the foregoing, such obligation shall not cease
in the event the APP Parties sell the Product in such a country using the ABI
Brand Names.

               10.3  APP must make the payments due under this Section 10 within
                                                               ----------
45 days following the end of, and with respect to sales of the Product by the
APP Parties during, each calendar quarter. If any payment due under Section 10
                                                                    ----------
is not made when due, interest will accrue at the rate of 8% per year on the
unpaid amount from the due date until the date of the payment.

               10.4  If there is a Gross Loss in any calendar quarter, no
payment is required for that quarter, and the amount of the Gross Loss will be
carried forward and reduce the amount of Gross Profits for the next calendar
quarter (and, as necessary, carried forward to successive quarters until the
full amount of Gross Loss has been offset by subsequent Gross Profit). Pre-
launch selling and marketing expenses of APP under this Agreement will be
treated as a deduction from Net Sales in the first calendar quarter of sales
under this Agreement.

               10.5  Within 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter
(and accompanying any payments made to ABI under this Section 10), APP must
                                                      ----------
supply ABI with a report, on behalf of the APP Parties, setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculation of ABI's share of Gross Profits (or Losses).
APP must keep and maintain, and must cause the APP Parties to keep and maintain,
detailed and accurate books and records with regard to Gross Profits (or
Losses), Net Sales, and the calculations for Gross Profits (or Losses) and Net
Sales. A nationally known independent certified public accounting firm selected
by ABI (which must be (A) other than APP's designated certified public
accounting firm, (B) reasonably acceptable to APP, and (C) bound in confidence
not disclose any information except to inform ABI of discrepancies) will be
entitled, for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10, to review
                                                           ----------
and audit the books and records of the APP Parties from time to time, but no
more than three times a year

<PAGE>

as to each such party, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to
the relevant APP Party and at ABI's expense. Provided however, if the review or
audit shows an underpayment of more than 10% for the applicable period, the
relevant APP Party will bear the expense. The findings of the accounting firm
will be binding on the Parties.

          10.6  At the end of each calendar year, the parties shall "true up"
the Gross Profits (or Losses) applicable to APP manufactured Product sold by the
APP Parties in the Territory as follows:

                (A)  Within 45 days after the end of each calendar year, APP
     shall determine its Actual Costs of manufacturing Product during such
     calendar year. The Actual Costs shall be APP's actual direct and indirect
     costs of manufacturing Product, including without limitation the materials,
     components, facility maintenance and depreciation, utilities, and labor and
     overhead, attributable to Production, processing, packaging and quality
     control of Product manufactured by APP and sold by it during such calendar
     year. The Actual Costs shall include an allowance for the costs of Bad
     Batches, as set forth in Section 10.6(B). On the basis of such Actual
                              ----------------
     Costs, APP shall calculate its revised Chargeable Price for such calendar
     year, which shall be determined by substituting Actual Costs for Standard
     Costs in the formula set forth in Section 1.5 (the "Revised Chargeable
     Price"). If the aggregate Revised Chargeable Price is less than the
     aggregate Chargeable Price originally included in the determination of
     Gross Profits (or Losses) for all Product sold during such calendar year,
     then APP shall remit to ABI one-half of such difference. If the aggregate
     Revised Chargeable Price is greater than the aggregate Chargeable Price
     originally included in the determination of Gross Profits (or Losses) for
     all Product sold during such calendar year, then ABI shall remit to APP
     one-half of such difference. APP shall include such calculations in its
     accounting report which is due 45 days after the end of each calendar year.

                (B)  For purposes of determining Actual Costs, APP shall be
     permitted to include the costs of actual Bad Batches manufactured by APP
     [***]

                (C)  In addition to, and separate and apart in all respects from
     the provisions of Section 10.6(B), the costs of Bad Batches in the first
                       ---------------
     seventeen batches manufactured after the Effective Date (excluding pilot or
     pilot scale batches), shall be borne equally by the Parties. ABI shall
     reimburse APP for 50% of such costs, and APP's share of such costs shall be
     omitted from all calculations of Standard Costs and Actual Costs.

               (D)  As used in this Section 10.6, "Bad Batches" shall mean
                                    ------------
     batches of Product which are lost in the course of manufacture, or are
     determined by APP not to be suitable for release. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, Bad Batches shall not include pilot or pilot scale batches.

     11.  Sales Achievement Milestone Payments.  APP is required to make the
          ------------------------------------
highest of the following milestone payments that have been achieved but not yet
paid to ABI within 30 days following the end of the calendar year in which the
indicated level of annual Adjusted Net Sales of the Product has been attained or
exceeded by the APP Parties:

<PAGE>

     Annual Adjusted Net Sales       Milestone Payment
     -------------------------       -----------------

     [***]                           $10 million
     [***]                           $20 million
     [***]                           $30 million
     [***]                           $50 million

     For the sake of clarity, each such milestone payment shall be made one time
only, if at all, during the course of this Agreement.  If an indicated level of
Adjusted Net Sales is attained in a calendar year but the corresponding
milestone payment has previously been paid, APP shall pay the next lowest level
of unpaid milestone payments, if any.  For purposes of this Section 11,
                                                            ----------
"Adjusted Net Sales" means Net Sales as defined in Section 1.18 but without the
                                                   ------------
deduction contained in Section 1.18(D).
                       ---------------

     12.  Further Development of the Product.
          ----------------------------------

               12.1  ABI will diligently pursue development of the Product for
the indications of breast, lung, ovarian and prostate cancers, according to the
objectives established by the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will
reasonably determine the claims desired, the design, conduct and desired
endpoints of clinical trials, regulatory submissions to be made, timelines,
indications (other than those referred to above) to be studied and petitioned,
and other objectives of development and of lifecycle management efforts (e.g.,
Phase IIIb/IV) (the "Development Issues").
                     ------------------

               12.2  All developments will be performed at ABI's sole cost and
expense, but APP must provide to ABI, as requested by ABI (A) up to $2 million
of the Product (based on Chargeable Price) free of charge, [***]

               12.3  The steering team will be comprised of three
representatives from each of ABI and APP (the "Steering Committee"), and is
                                               ------------------
required to meet in person or by conference call at least once every three
months, or more often as needed. Each Party's representatives must reasonably
cooperate in establishing meeting dates, setting agendas, attending and
conducting the meetings, and working diligently toward, and contributing to, the
goals and business of the Steering Committee and the Development Issues.

               12.4  If consensus cannot be reached on one or more Development
Issues, APP's representatives will be entitled to make the final decision with
respect to breast, lung and ovarian indications and ABI's representatives will
be entitled to make the final decision for all other indications.

     13.  Regulatory Filings/Approvals.
          ----------------------------
               13.1  ABI will be responsible for and required to:

                     (A)  make all filings, and other submissions, to the
     applicable governmental agency, department or other body regarding or
     relating to the Product; and

<PAGE>

                     (B)  obtain all Regulatory Approvals to develop, test,
     market, and distribute the Product in the Territory in the manner and for
     the indications indicated in this Agreement and determined by the Steering
     Committee, except for filings and other submissions required to be made by
     APP for the manufacture of the Product as set forth in the Manufacturing
     Agreement.

               13.2  APP will reasonably cooperate with ABI in its efforts under
Section 13.1. All costs and expenses associated with the foregoing with respect
------------
to a particular indication will be borne by ABI until ABI obtains FDA approval
of the NDA for such indication. Thereafter, for each indication for which APP
makes the milestone payment under Section 9, although ABI will continue to be
                                  ---------
responsible for regulatory filings and the maintenance of such approvals, APP
will promptly reimburse ABI for any further direct costs incurred with respect
to the maintenance of such regulatory approvals for each such indication in the
Territory upon presentation of documentary evidence of these types of payments.

               13.3  ABI will use all commercially reasonable efforts to
diligently and aggressively pursue the development of the Product for breast,
lung and ovarian indications.

     14.  Use of Brand Names.
          ------------------

               14.1  During the term of this Agreement, and as permitted under
Section 16.2, and except for those indications for which APP does not make
------------
payments under Section 9, APP will have the right to market, distribute, import,
               ---------
export, offer to sell and sell the Product in the Territory using any brand name
included in an NDA that is approved by the FDA or otherwise established by ABI
for the Product ("ABI Brand Names") and no other party will have such right in
                  ---------------
the Territory. APP shall have such right to the full extent that ABI has the
right to use ABI Brand Names. Any use by APP of ABI Brand Names will be subject
to ABI's comments and may not impair or dilute the value of the names. Except as
provided under Section 16 APP may not sell the Product using any other brand
               ----------
names.

               14.2  As between ABI and APP, ABI will be the sole owner of all
ABI Brand Names and hereby grants APP a royalty-free trademark license for the
use of ABI Brand Names, subject to the other payment provisions in this
Agreement.

               14.3  In connection with its use of ABI Brand Names, APP must:

                     (A)  credit ABI for ownership of the ABI Brand Names in any
     marketing efforts in which it uses any ABI Brand Names;

                     (B)  at its expense, take whatever action may be required
     under any Legal Requirement to use any ABI Brand Names in the Territory or
     refrain from taking any action that could impair or dilute the value of any
     ABI Brand Names; and

                     (C)  reasonably cooperate with ABI in connection with any
     Action relating to the use by ABI (or its licensees, including APP) of any
     ABI Brand Names that APP is using.

<PAGE>

     15.  No Restriction on Competition. Nothing in this Agreement will be
          -----------------------------
deemed to prohibit either Party from developing, making, using, marketing or
otherwise distributing or promoting Products competitive with the Product.

     16.  Term.
          ----

               16.1  This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and,
except as provided in this Section 16 and Section 17 will continue until the
                           ----------     ----------
date of expiration of the last patent containing a valid claim that would be
infringed by the use, marketing, sale or distribution of the Product, including
in finished form, but upon the expiration, APP will have a fully-paid, royalty-
free (except as provided in Section 16.4) irrevocable, non-exclusive right to
                            -------------
use, market, sell and distribute the Product in the Territory except for those
indications for which APP does not make payments under Section 9.
                                                       ---------

               16.2  If APP desires to continue to sell Product using ABI Brand
Names after the expiration of such last patent, it may, except for those
indications for which APP does not make payments under Section 9, do so by
                                                       ---------
providing ABI with six months notice prior to such expiration of APP's desire to
extend the license to ABI Brand Names, as provided in Section 14.1. Except as
                                                      ------------
provided in Section 16.3, this Agreement will continue for successive one-year
            ------------
terms thereafter (the "Extension Periods") until APP provides ABI with a minimum
                       -----------------
of six months notice of APP's intention to terminate.

               16.3  If, during the Extension Periods, the APP Parties are
selling the Product under any ABI Brand Name while concurrently selling Product
in a generic form, [***]

               16.4  So long as the APP Parties continue to sell Product under
an ABI Brand Name, APP must pay to ABI the percentage of Gross Profits or
consideration that APP would be obligated to pay to ABI under Section 10 but
                                                              ----------
only for sales of the Product sold using ABI Brand Names. During an Extension
Period, the APP Parties shall have no payment or royalty obligations to ABI for
sales by APP Parties of Product sold under any name other than an ABI Brand
Name.

     17.  Termination.
          -----------

               17.1  This Agreement may be terminated:

                     (A)  At any time by mutual agreement of the Parties;

                     (B)  Immediately, by the non-defaulting Party, if the other
      Party:

                              (1)  commits a material breach or default
               ("Breach") under this Agreement, which Breach is not remedied
               within 60 days after the receipt of written notice of the Breach
               by the Party in Breach (except as to the payment of money by APP,
               for which the notice period will be 10 days). Notwithstanding the
               foregoing, if the Breach is not curable in 60 days and the
               breaching or defaulting party in good faith notifies the other
               party in writing prior to the 60 days that it is initiating cure
               of the

<PAGE>

               Breach, and initiates cure of such Breach within 60 days after
               the initial notice and in good faith continues diligently to
               attempt to cure the Breach, then this Agreement shall not be
               terminated pursuant to this Section 17.1(B)(1). Provided,
                                           ------------------
               however, it shall not be a breach of the Agreement if APP does
               not make one or more of the milestone payments under Section 9.1
                                                                    -----------
               (A) - (H), but rather, in such instance and subject to Section
               ---------                                              -------
               9.4, APP shall immediately lose all right to use, market,
               ---
               distribute, import, export, sell and offer to sell the Product
               for such indication and that indication for which the payment was
               not made shall not longer be included within the license grant to
               APP. From and after APP's failure to make a milestone payment,
               ABI will have the right to use the Technology for the relevant
               indication in any manner it deems appropriate, including use
               within the Territory.

                         (2)  made a material misrepresentation of any
               representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; or

                         (3)  has a permanent or temporary restraining order,
               preliminary injunction or other order granted against it by a
               court or authority enjoining or restricting the sale of the
               Product as contemplated hereby in the Territory. Notwithstanding
               the foregoing, if any such order results or would foreseeably
               result in a decline of 10% or less of units of Product sold in
               the Territory as compared to the prior calendar year's sales of
               units of Product sold in the Territory, then this Agreement shall
               not be terminated pursuant to this Section 17.1(B)(3).
                                                  ------------------

                    (C)  Following a 60-day period after written notice to cure
          such condition, by either ABI or APP if the other Party:

                              (1)  does not pay its debts generally as they
               become due, or is unable to pay its debts generally as they
               become due;

                              (2)  has or has instituted against it any
               proceeding seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or
               seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
               adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts
               under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
               reorganization or relief of debtors;

                              (3)  makes a general assignment for the benefit of
               creditors;

                              (4)  seeks the entry of an order for relief or the
               appointment of a receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, trustee,
               custodian or similar official for it; or

                              (5)  takes advantage of any other law or procedure
               for the protection of creditors.

               17.2  Upon the termination of this Agreement by ABI pursuant to
Section 17.1, the rights and license granted to APP under this Agreement and
------------
APP's obligations under Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 (except to the extent earned
but not yet paid) will terminate, sublicenses will terminate, and ABI's
obligations to provide Technology or information will cease. The rights and
license to APP under this Agreement, and the sublicenses granted thereunder,
shall

<PAGE>

survive termination of this Agreement by ABI for any other reason. Except to the
extent that any monies are owned and not yet paid and for the provisions of
Sections 5, 6, 7, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 32, and 33, none of the
-------- -- -- -- --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --      --
provisions of this Agreement shall survive termination. Upon the termination by
APP under Sections 17.1(B) or (C), ABI's license to APP Owned Developments shall
          -----------------------
also terminate. Upon ABI's termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
                                                                     -------
17.1, ABI will have the right to concurrently terminate the Manufacturing
----
Agreement.

               17.3  Termination is not the sole remedy under this Agreement,
and whether or not termination is effected, all other remedies remain available
to each Party.

     18.  Confidentiality.
          ---------------

               18.1  Each Party recognizes that the other Party holds its
Proprietary Information as important. In particular, each Party recognizes that
the other Party's Proprietary Information (and the confidential nature thereof)
is critical to the other Party's business and that neither Party would enter
into this Agreement without assurance that such information and the value
thereof will be protected as provided in this Section 18 and elsewhere in this
                                              ----------
Agreement.

               18.2  Each Party must, therefore:

                     (A)  Hold the other Party's Proprietary Information in
      confidence and take reasonable precautions to protect the Proprietary
      Information (including, without limitation, no less than all precautions
      that it employs with respect to its own confidential materials);

                     (B)  not divulge (except pursuant to a sublicense expressly
      authorized in this Agreement) the other Party's Proprietary Information or
      any information derived therefrom to any third person; and

                     (C)  not make any use whatsoever at any time of the other
      Party's Proprietary Information except for purposes of and expressly
      authorized in this Agreement.

               18.3  Any employee given access to any Proprietary Information
must have a legitimate "need to know" and must be bound in writing to maintain
the confidence of information to which it is given access.

               18.4  Without granting any right or license, the disclosing Party
agrees that the foregoing restrictions will not apply with respect to
information that the receiving Party is able to demonstrate by competent
evidence:

                     (A)  is in or (through no improper action or inaction by
      the receiving Party or any Affiliate of the receiving Party or its agents
      or employees) enters the public domain (and is readily available without
      substantial effort);

                     (B)  was rightfully disclosed to it by another person
      without restriction; or

<PAGE>

                (C)  was independently developed by it by persons without access
     to such information and without use of any of the disclosing Party's
     Proprietary Information.

          18.5  Each Party's obligations under this Section 18 will terminate
                                                    ----------
five years after the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement. The
Parties recognize and acknowledge that prior to the Effective Date of this
Agreement, each Party has received the other Party's Proprietary Information and
each hereby agrees to protect the Proprietary Information to the same extent as
set forth in this Section 18.
                  ----------

          18.6  Immediately upon termination or expiration of this Agreement,
each Party will turn over to the other Party all Proprietary Information of the
other Party and all documents or media containing any Proprietary Information
and any and all copies or extracts thereof except insofar as necessary to
practice the license as set forth in Section 16.1.
                                     ------------

          18.7  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature
of Proprietary Information, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any
breach of each Party's obligations under this Section 18, that any breach may
                                              ----------
result in irreparable harm to the disclosing Party, and therefore, that upon any
breach or any threat of breach, the disclosing Party will be entitled to
appropriate equitable relief (without the posting of any bond) in addition to
whatever remedies it might have at law in connection with any breach or
enforcement of the receiving Party's obligations under this Agreement or the
unauthorized use or release of any Proprietary Information.

     19. Patent Matters.
         --------------

          19.1  ABI will, in a scientifically and commercially reasonable
manner, file and prosecute patent applications and maintain patents in the
Territory relating to the Technology, the ABI Owned Developments and any
improvements made by or on behalf of ABI ("ABI Developments").
                                           ----------------

          19.2  APP will not attempt to file or prosecute any patent
applications or maintain any patent covering the Technology, the ABI
Developments, or the ABI Owned Developments except: (i) as ABI may, in its sole
discretion, approve in writing; (ii) in the event ABI elects to discontinue or
abandon the prosecution and/or maintenance of any patent or patent application
covering the Technology in the Territory, it shall provide adequate notice to
APP and shall give APP the opportunity to file, continue prosecution of, pay any
issuance fee and/or maintain such patent application and/or patent at APP's own
expense.

          19.3  APP may take whatever steps it deems necessary to protect and
enforce its rights and interest in APP Owned Developments. ABI will not attempt
to file or prosecute any patent applications or maintain any patent covering the
APP Owned Developments.

          19.4  If either Party becomes aware of any Product or activity of any
third party that involves or may involve infringement or other violation of any
patent relating to the Proprietary Information, APP Owned Developments (to the
extent related to the Product), ABI Owned Developments, ABI Developments or
other Proprietary Right in the Territory, that Party must promptly notify the
other Party in writing of the infringement or violation.

<PAGE>

          19.5  ABI will have the first right, but not the obligation, to file
suit or take other action to prevent the infringement of any patents or
Technology owned by ABI related to the Product in the Territory. If ABI takes
such action, ABI will control any action undertaken by ABI against an infringer,
and ABI may enter into settlements, stipulated judgments or other arrangements
respecting the infringement, at its own expense unless the proposed settlements,
judgments or arrangements would adversely affect APP, in which case, they will
be subject to APP's consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. If ABI
takes such action, ABI will defend, indemnify and hold APP harmless from related
costs and expenses for such claimed infringement. APP will permit an action to
be brought by ABI in APP's name if required by law. APP agrees to provide all
assistance that ABI may reasonably require in any litigation, including
providing written evidence, deposition and trial testimony, for which ABI will
pay APP a reasonable hourly rate of compensation, together with reimbursement
for out-of-pocket costs. Any damages or other recovery from an infringement
action undertaken by ABI pursuant to this Section 19.5 to enforce ABI's
                                          ------------
Proprietary Rights relating to the Product sold in the Territory, will be used
first to reimburse ABI's legal costs and expenses incurred in the action and
thereafter any damages or other recovery relating to Products sold by the APP
Parties in the Territory will be shared equally with APP.

          19.6  If ABI does not, within 90 days after receipt of notice of a
patent infringement relating to the use of the Product sold by the APP Parties
in the Territory, commence action directed toward restraining or enjoining such
patent infringement, APP may take such legally permissible action as it deems
necessary or appropriate to enforce ABI's patent rights and restrain such
infringement at its own expense unless the actions would adversely affect ABI,
in which case they will be subject to ABI's consent which will not be
unreasonably withheld. If APP takes such action, APP will indemnify, defend and
hold harmless ABI in respect of any such action. Any damages or other recovery
from an infringement action undertaken by APP pursuant to this Section 19.6 to
                                                               ------------
enforce ABI Proprietary Rights on the Product sold in the Territory, will be
first used to reimburse APP's legal costs and expenses incurred in such action
and thereafter shared equally with ABI; provided if any portion of such damages
or other recovery relate to infringement outside the Territory or Product not
sold by the APP Parties in the Territory, such portion shall be paid 100% to
ABI.

          19.7  Each Party must fully cooperate with the other Party bringing
any action, including joining as a Party to the suit, if necessary, and also
including, without limitation, supplying essential documentary evidence and
making essential witnesses then in its employ available.

          19.8  If any third party threatens or commences a lawsuit against
either Party alleging the Product in any way infringes or otherwise violates any
Proprietary Rights of such third party, it shall promptly notify the other Party
in writing.

     20. Adverse Experience Reporting; Recalls.
         -------------------------------------

          20.1  Each Party will report to the other Party any information of
which it becomes aware concerning any adverse drug experience in connection with
the use of the Product, including the incidence and the severity thereof. ABI
will provide to APP copies of any

<PAGE>

reports submitted to the FDA relating to any adverse drug experiences that ABI
determines to be significant.

            20.2  If ABI is required to initiate, or otherwise in its discretion
decides to initiate, a recall, withdrawal or field correction (collectively, a
"Recall") of the Product sold by the APP Parties in the Territory, ABI will
 ------
notify APP and provide a copy of its proposal with respect to such Recall,
including the Recall letter, for APP's review prior to ABI's initiation of the
Recall. If APP independently believes that a Recall of the Product sold by the
APP Parties in the Territory may be necessary or appropriate, it must notify
ABI, and the parties must fully cooperate with each other concerning the
necessity and nature of the Action.

            20.3  ABI will be responsible for all Recall activities with respect
to Recall of the Product. APP will reasonably cooperate with ABI in connection
with any Recall. Each Party will maintain complete and accurate Recall records
relating to the Product for any periods that are required by any Legal
Requirement.

            20.4  The fees, costs and expenses of any Recall (collectively, the
"Recall Expenses") of the Product will be apportioned between
 ---------------
the Parties as follows:

                   (A)  [***]
                   (B)  [***]
                   (C)  [***]
                   (D)  [***]

     21.  Indemnification; Incidental And Consequential Damages.
          -----------------------------------------------------

            21.1  APP agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the ABI
Parties from any Damages incurred by or assessed against the ABI Parties
resulting from a third party claim caused or alleged to be caused by:

                 (A)  APP's failure to perform any of its obligations under this
     Agreement;

                 (B)  any breach of or inaccuracy in any representations or
     warranty made by APP in this Agreement;

                 (C)  any Product Liability Claim arising from the gross
     negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of an APP Party;

                 (D)  a sublicesee's material breach of its sublicense under
     this Agreement or related to any gross negligence, fraud or intentional
     misconduct on the part of any sublicensee of APP; and

                 (E)  any Product Liability Claim directly resulting from the
     use of the Product that, when manufactured by APP, was adulterated or
     contaminated, or was

<PAGE>

     otherwise caused by APP's failure to comply with this Agreement or the
     Specifications provided for in the Manufacturing Agreement.

          21.2  ABI agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the APP
Parties from any Damages incurred by or assessed against the APP Parties
resulting from a third party claim caused or alleged to be caused by:

                (A) ABI's failure to perform any of its obligations under this
     Agreement;

                (B) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representations or
     warranty made by ABI in this Agreement;

                (C) any Product Liability Claim arising from the gross
     negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of ABI Parties;

                (D) any Product Liability Claim directly resulting from the use
     and/or sale of the Product outside the Territory, except for those covered
     in Section 21.1(C) or Section 21.1 (E);
        ---------------    ----------------

                (E) any Product Liability Claim directly resulting from the use
     and/or sale of the Product inside the Territory, when sold by ABI Parties
     for indications other than those licensed to APP, except for those covered
     in Section 21.1(C) or Section 21.1 (E).
        ---------------    ----------------

          21.3  Except with respect to the APP Owned Developments or ABI Owned
Developments, ABI further indemnifies APP for any proceedings instituted by or
on behalf of a third party based upon a claim that the manufacture, use or sale
of the Product infringes a patent or any other proprietary right of that third
party. Such indemnification obligation shall be limited as follows:

                (A) to the extent such proceeding or settlement thereof results
     in a future royalty to be paid by APP, ABI's indemnity obligation shall be
     satisfied by having such royalty payment be a deduction from Net Sales; and

                (B) to the extent such proceeding or settlement thereof results
     in a payment obligation other than as provided in Section 21.3(A) above,
                                                       ---------------
     ABI shall indemnify APP only to the extent of fifty percent (50%) of
     payments previously made by APP to ABI pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, and
                                                        -----------
     any indemnity payments to be made by ABI to APP or on behalf of APP
     pursuant to the foregoing shall be limited to fifty percent (50%) of ABI's
     operating cash flow, including without limitation, the split of Gross
     Profits under this Agreement.

          21.4  If any Party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section
                                                                         -------
21 (an "Indemnified Party") receives notice of the assertion by any Person of
--
any claim or of the commencement by any Person of any Action (any such claim or
Action being referred to herein as an "Indemnifiable Claim") with respect to
                                       -------------------
which another Party hereto (an "Indemnifying Party") is or may be obligated to
                                ------------------
provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Indemnifying Party in writing (the "Claim Notice"). However, the failure to
                                    ------------
provide the notice will not relieve or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Indemnifying Party to provide

<PAGE>

indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent that any Damages
directly resulted or were caused by that failure.

          21.5  The Indemnifying Party will have 30 days after receipt of the
Claim Notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own
choosing and at its expense, the settlement or defense of the claim, and the
Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with
the settlement or defense, if:

                (A)  the Indemnifying Party permits the Indemnified Party to
     participate in the settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the
     Indemnified Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
     consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);

                (B)  the fees and expenses of such counsel will not be borne by
     the Indemnifying Party; and

                (C)  the Indemnifying Party does not settle any Indemnifiable
     Claim without the Indemnified Party's consent which consent may not be
     unreasonably withheld. So long as the Indemnifying Party is vigorously
     contesting any Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may
     not pay or settle the claim without the Indemnifying Party's consent, which
     consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          21.6  If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party
within 30 days after receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the
defense of the Indemnifiable Claim described in the Claim Notice, the
Indemnified Party has the right to contest, settle or compromise the
Indemnifiable Claim in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. However, the
Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party of any compromise or
settlement of any such Indemnifiable Claim.

          21.7  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 21 to the contrary, APP
                                                 ----------
is not entitled to assume the defense for any Indemnifiable Claim (and will be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in
defending the claim) if the Indemnifiable Claim seeks an order, injunction or
other equitable relief (or other relief for other than money damages) against
ABI or its Affiliates which ABI determines, after conferring with its counsel,
cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages and which, if
successful, would adversely affect the commercialization of the Product.
However, if an equitable relief portion of the Indemnifiable Claim can be
separated from that for money damages, APP may assume the defense of the portion
relating to money damages.

     22. Product Liability.
         -----------------

          22.1  Subject to Section 21, each Party must promptly reimburse the
                           ----------
other Party for 50% of the amount of: (A) the costs of responding to or
defending any Product Liability Claim arising from use or sale of the Product in
the Territory, regardless of the reason for such claim except as expressly set
forth in Sections 21.1(C) or 21.1(E); and (B) any Damages payable by the Party
         ---------------     -------
following final judgment or settlement of any Product Liability Claim arising
from use or sale of the Product in the Territory regardless of the reason for
such claim except as expressly set forth in Sections 21.1(C) or 21.1(E). For the
                                            ----------------    -------
sake of clarity, the 50%/50% sharing

<PAGE>

ratio for Product Liability Claims arising from the use or sale of the Product
in the Territory (except as provided in Sections 21.1(C) and 21.1(E)) shall
                                        ----------------     -------
include, without limitation, claims based on allegations of latent defect,
failure to warn, and the establishment of the Specifications.

          22.2  For so long as ABI is conducting clinical trials of the Product
or commercially marketing and selling the Product, it must maintain Product
liability insurance with respect to the Product, with a reputable carrier, in
the amounts set forth in Exhibit B, naming APP and its Affiliates as additional
                         ---------
insureds.

          22.3  For so long as APP is commercially marketing and selling the
Product in the Territory, it must maintain Product liability insurance with
respect to the Product, with a reputable carrier, in the amounts set forth in
Exhibit C, naming ABI and its Affiliates as additional insureds.
---------

          22.4  Each Party must notify the other Party as promptly as
practicable if a Product Liability Claim under Section 22.1 is commenced or
                                               ------------
threatened against any Party. Each Party must cooperate with the other Party in
connection with any such Product Liability Claim that is commenced or threatened
against the other Party.

          22.5  If a Product Liability Claim under Section 22.1 is asserted
                                                   ------------
against both Parties, each Party will have the right to designate counsel to
defend itself in the Product Liability Claim. If a Product Liability Claim under
Section 22.1 is brought against one Party but not the other Party, the named
------------
Party will (subject to Section 22.6) have absolute control of litigation, except
                       ------------

that:

                (A)  the other Party may appoint counsel to participate in the
     defense of the Product Liability Claim if the named Party reasonably
     determines that the participation would not adversely affect the attorney-
     client privilege; and

                (B)  if the litigation could reasonably be expected to have an
     adverse effect on the development and commercialization of the Product, the
     named Party must consult with the other Party regarding the conduct of the
     litigation if the named Party reasonably determines that the cooperation
     would not adversely affect the attorney-client privilege.

          22.6  Neither Party may agree to a settlement of any Product Liability
Claim under Section 22.1 without the consent of the other Party, which consent
            ------------
may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if the settlement:

                (A)  would have an adverse effect on the development or
     commercialization of the Product; or

                (B)  would otherwise have a material adverse effect on the other
     Party.

     23.  EXCEPT FOR BODILY INJURY OF A PERSON, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE

THE DEVELOPMENT OR COMMERCIALIZATION OF THE PRODUCT OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION
WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT.

     24.  Independent Contractors. ABI and APP are independent Parties, and
          -----------------------
nothing contained herein will be construed to create a joint venture,
partnership or similar relationship. Neither Party is authorized to, nor may it,
make any statements, claims, representations, warranties or otherwise act in any
way so as to incur any liability whatsoever for which the other may become
directly, indirectly or contingently liable.

     25.  Assignment.
          ----------

               25.1  The rights and obligations of the Parties under this
Agreement may not be assigned or transferred in any manner, including, without
limitation, by operation of law, sale of stock or sale of assets, without the
prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the other
Party (and any attempt to do so will be void) except that:

                     (A)  rights to payment of money may be assigned without
      such approval, and

                     (B)  a Party has the right to assign this Agreement to its
      lenders as collateral security under a credit facility and following
      acceleration of that credit facility, it's lender has the right to assign
      this Agreement to a third party reasonably satisfactory to the other
      Party. Despite the foregoing, in no event shall ABI be obligated to
      consent to an assignment to a Competitor.

          25.2  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 25.1, if:
                                                            ------------
                (A)  any Party:

                         (1)  merges or consolidates with any other corporation,
          partnership or other business entity, or

                         (2)  all or substantially all of such Party's business
          or assets are transferred in any manner to any other corporation,
          partnership or other business entity; or

               (B)  any other Person acquires the power, directly or indirectly,
      to direct or cause the direction of management and the policies of such
      Party ( a "Change of Control");
                 ------------------

    such event will be deemed an approved assignment for purposes of this
    Agreement if the conditions set forth in this Section 25.3 are satisfied.
                                                  ------------

25.3  Following a Change of Control, such successor to such Party will succeed
to, and be subject to, all rights, interests, duties and obligations of, and
will thereafter be deemed for all purposes to be the applicable Party under this
Agreement. The successor to be approved under this Section 25.3 will be required
                                                   ------------
to:

<PAGE>

               (A)  have the experience, facilities, capabilities, and financial
     resources equal to or greater than such Party; and

               (B)  expressly acknowledge, in a written instrument delivered to
     the other Party in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parties:

                         (1)  the succession to all duties and obligations of
          the Party under this Agreement, and

                         (2)  the existence of the requirements set forth in
          this Section 25.
               ------- --

          25.4  Despite the foregoing, for the purposes of this Agreement, an
IPO will not be considered a Change of Control.

          25.5  If APP's successor does not meet the following requirements in
Section 25.5(A) and 25.5(B) in each calendar year after a Change of Control
------- -------     -------
occurs, ABI may, at its sole option, convert the exclusive license to a non-
exclusive license or terminate this Agreement:

                (A)  spend on marketing and sales at least the same amounts that
     the APP Parties (other than those which have continuing agreements with
     such a successor) and its Affiliates and permitted assignees spent on
     marketing and sales in the calendar year prior to the Change of Control;
     and

                (B)  achieve revenues that are greater than or equal to 90% of
     the greater of:

                         (1)  the revenues of the APP Parties (other than those
          which have continuing agreements with such a successor) in the
          calendar year prior to the Change of Control; or

                         (2)  the average of the revenues of the APP Parties
          (other than those which have continuing agreements with such a
          successor) for the immediately preceding three calendar years .

          25.6  In the event a Change of Control, the foregoing amounts in
Section 25.5 shall be prorated for the portion of the calendar year subsequent
------------
to the Change of Control.

          25.7  If the successor entity fails to achieve the sales level
required in Section 25.5, such successor shall be entitled to make a
            ------------
supplemental payment to ABI (within 45 days after the end of each calendar year)
of an amount equal to: (A) the difference between its actual revenues from the
Product and the revenues required by Section 25.5, multiplied by (B) one-half
                                     ------------
(1/2) of its Gross Profits from Product sales as a percentage of such actual
revenues. Such payment, if made, shall prevent ABI from exercising any other
remedy under Section 25.5 with respect to the calendar year for which such
             ------------
payment is made.

     26.  Notices.  Any and all notices given pursuant to this Agreement must be
          -------

personally or sent by facsimile, air courier, or post, to the respective address

     27.  Force Majeure.
          -------------

               27.1  The obligations of a Party hereunder will be suspended
during the time and to the extent that such Party is prevented from complying
with its obligations due to any event or circumstances beyond the reasonable
control and without the fault or negligence of the affected Party (which
circumstance is referred to as "Force Majeure"), including but not limited to
                                -------------
inevitable accidents, perils of navigation, floods, fire, storms, earthquakes,
lockouts, explosion, hostilities, war (whether declared or undeclared), acts of
terrorism, civil disturbances, order or acts of any government, whether de jure
or de facto or any official purporting to act under authority of any such
government (other than as to Regulatory Approval), illegality arising from
domestic or foreign laws or regulations, insurrections, quarantine or custom
restrictions


<PAGE>

(other than due to the action or inaction of the Party claiming a Force
Majeure), damage in factories or warehouses, strikes, lockouts, or other labor
difficulty of the Parties, inability to obtain paclitaxel active pharmaceutical
ingredient or other components and raw materials, lack of conveyance, breakdown
of machinery or instruments or other disturbances of the Parties or their
suppliers or acts of God or other similar event beyond the reasonable control
of, as the case may be, ABI or APP that results in hindrance of the performance
by the Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

          27.2  As soon as possible after being affected by a Force Majeure
circumstance, the affected Party must furnish to the other Party all particulars
of the Force Majeure and the manner in which its performance is prevented or
delayed. The Party whose obligations under this Agreement have been suspended
must promptly and diligently pursue appropriate action to enable it to lift the
Force Majeure situation, except that such Party will not be obligated to settle
any strike, lockout or other labor difficulty on terms contrary to its wishes.

          27.3  If any Force Majeure circumstance cannot be removed or overcome
within 120 days (or such other period as the Parties mutually agree) from the
date the Party affected first became affected, then the non-affected Party may,
at the expiration of such period, by notice to the affected Party terminate this
Agreement, and neither Party will be liable to the other for Damages.

     28.  Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto)
          --------------------
may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any other of the terms or
conditions hereof may be modified, only by a written instrument executed by both
Parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving compliance. Failure of
either Party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof
will in no manner affect the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the
same, and no waiver of any nature, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one
or more instances, will be deemed to be or considered as a further or continuing
waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

     29.  Severability.  If any one or more of the agreements, provisions or
          ------------
terms contained herein are declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity of the remaining agreements, provisions or terms contained
herein will not be affected, prejudiced or invalidated thereby.

     30.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Security Agreement noted in
          ----------------
Section 8.2 and all Exhibits hereto, contain the entire agreement between the
-----------
Parties, and supersedes any prior agreements between them, with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

     31.  Section Headings; Recitals. The section headings contained in this
          --------------------------
Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The recitals are hereby
incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

     32.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
          -------------
enforced in accordance with the substantive law (without regard to conflicts of
law provisions) of the State of California.

     33.  Arbitration; Equitable Relief.
          -----------------------------


<PAGE>

          33.1  Except in the case of a Party seeking equitable relief
hereunder, any and all disputes or controversies, whether of law or fact and of
any kind and nature whatsoever, arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
will be decided by binding arbitration in accordance with Title 9 of the United
States Code and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). For claims under $1,000,000, the arbitration will be held
              ---
before a single arbitrator. If the Parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator,
the arbitration will be held before an arbitrator selected by AAA. For claims
over $1,000,000, the arbitration will be held before a three-member panel of
arbitrators. If the Parties are unable to agree on a three-member panel of
arbitrators, the arbitration will be held before a three-member panel of
arbitrators selected by the AAA. Arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles
County, State of California, or such other location as may be agreed by the
Parties. Claims with respect to injunctive relief or specific performance will
be resolved by a court of law in accordance with Section 33.2. APP irrevocably
                                                 ------------
consents and submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of California for any
arbitration contemplated by this Section 33.1. The decision of the arbitrators
                                 ------------
will be binding upon the Parties hereto and all parties claiming under and
through them, and judgment will be entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator will be paid equally by
the Parties.

          33.2  With respect to actions for injunctive relief and specific
performance, the Parties submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal
court sitting in Los Angeles County in any Action arising out or respecting this
Agreement and agree that all claims in respect of such Action shall be heard and
determined in any such court. The Parties waive any defense of inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of any Action and waive any bond, surety or other
security that may be required of any other party with respect to the Action. The
Parties agree that a final judgment in any Action brought under this Section
                                                                     -------
33.2 will be conclusive. Either Party may seek injunctive relief if any
----
provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms and
for which such Party would not have an adequate remedy for money damages. Any
such remedy will be in addition to any other remedy that may be available at law
or equity.

     34.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts,
          ------------
each of which will be deemed to be an original, but which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.
