         1.2 "Patent Products" means any kit, composition of matter, material,
or product whose manufacture, use, or sale in a particular country would
infringe, but for the license granted to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, an
unexpired Claim of a patent or pending claim of a patent application under
Regents' Patent Rights in that country in which such patent has issued or
application is pending; any kit, composition of matter, material, or product to
be used in a manner requiring the performance of the Patent Method; or any kit,
composition of matter, material, or product produced by the Patent Method. This
definition of Patent Products also includes a service either used by Licensee or
provided by Licensee to its customers when such service requires the practice of
the Patent Method. Dynamic Cooling Device (or DCD) means a cooling device for
use with a laser system, the combination of which utilizes the Regents' Patent
Rights. DCDs, whether sold as (i) an accessory or upgrade product to a laser
system or (ii) integrated with a laser system as one product, are Patent
Products.

         1.3 "Gross Revenue" means all revenue, receipts, and monies or other
forms of consideration actually received by The Regents from any third-party
Further Licenses granted by The Regents.

         1.4 "Patent Method" means any process or method the use or practice of
which would constitute in a particular country, but for the license granted to
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, an infringement of an unexpired claim of
patent or pending claim of a patent application within Regents' Patent Rights in
that country in which the Patent Method is used or practiced.

         1.5 "Affiliate(s)" of Licensee means any entity which, directly or
indirectly, controls Licensee, is controlled by Licensee, or is under common
control with Licensee ("control" for these purposes being defined as the actual,
present capacity to elect a majority of the directors of such affiliate, or if
not, the capacity to elect the members that control fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding stock or other voting rights entitled to elect directors) provided,
however, that in any country where the local law shall not permit foreign equity
participation of a majority, then an "Affiliate" shall include any company in
which Licensee shall own or control, directly or indirectly, the maximum
percentage of such outstanding stock or voting rights permitted by local law.
Each reference to Licensee herein shall be meant to include its Affiliates.

         1.6 "Joint Venture" means any separate entity established pursuant to
an agreement between a third party and Licensee to constitute a vehicle for a
joint venture, in which the separate entity manufactures, uses, purchases,
sells, or acquires Patent Products from Licensee. Each reference to Licensee
herein shall be meant to include its Joint Venture(s).

         1.7 "Further Licenses" means any licenses under The Regents Patent
Rights granted by The Regents to any third party pursuant to Sections 2.1 and
2.6.

         1.8 "Good Faith List Price" means the price at which Licensee, an
Affiliate, or a Joint Venture offers for sale any Patent Product to independent
third parties for cash or other forms of

consideration without any discounts, rebates, or deductions of any kind. Good
Faith List Price does not include the value of any extended warranty (any
warranty providing coverage beyond the industry-standard one-year warranty)
offered by Licensee to its customers so long as customers have the option of
purchasing Patent Products from Licensee without an extended warranty. Where
Licensee distributes Patent Products for end use to itself, and Affiliate, or a
Joint Venture, then such distribution shall be considered the Good Faith List
Price charged to independent third parties as described above and The Regents
shall be entitled to collect a royalty on such distribution in accordance with
Article 3 (ROYALTIES).

                        2. LIFE OF PATENT EXCLUSIVE GRANT

         2.1 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and subject
to the license granted to the U.S. Government as set forth in the Recitals
above, The Regents hereby grants to the Licensee a co-exclusive license (with
New Star) to the Regents' Patent Rights, for the following fields of use: (i)
for procedures that involve non-ablative laser skin rejuvenation including
collagen formation, collagen remodeling, skin smoothing and wrinkle treatment,
(ii) for procedures that involve the treatment of facial and lower extremities
telangiestasias and spider veins and (iii) for procedures using a long pulse
[0.2 - 500 milliseconds] 1.06 UM Nd.YAG laser (collectively, the "Co-exclusive
Fields of Use") and grants to the Licensee an exclusive license to the Regents'
Patent Rights for the following fields of use: for procedures that involve (i)
vascular skin lesions and (ii) laser hair removal (collectively, the "Exclusive
Fields of Use"), to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, and import
Patent Products and to practice the Patent Method. The Regents hereby grants to
Licensee a non-exclusive license under The Regents' Patent Rights to make, have
made, use, sell, offer for sale, and import Patent Products and to practice the
Patent Method in any fields of use not covered by the Co-exclusive Fields of Use
and the Exclusive Fields of Use. The Regents specifically retains all rights to
grant Further Licenses to The Regents' Patent Rights to any party for fields of
use not covered by the Co-Exclusive Fields of Use and the Exclusive Fields of
Use.

         2.2 The licenses granted hereunder shall be subject to the overriding
obligations to the U.S. Government including those set forth in 35 U.S.C.
Sections 200-212 and applicable governmental implementing regulations.

         2.3 The manufacture of Patent Products and the practice of the Patent
Method shall be subject to applicable government importation laws and
regulations of a particular country on Patent Products made outside said
particular country in which such Patent Products are used or sold.

         2.4 Because this Agreement grants the exclusive right, co-exclusive
right, or nonexclusive right to use or sell the Patent Products in the United
States within specified fields of use, Licensee agrees that any Patent Products
embodying the Regents' Patent Rights or produced through the use thereof will be
manufactured substantially in the United States.

         2.5 Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit The Regents'
right to publish any and all technical data resulting from any research
performed by The Regents relating to the Regents' Patent Rights and to make and
use the Regents' Patent Rights, Patent Product(s), Patent Method(s) and
associated technology solely for educational and research purposes and for
purposes not covered by this Agreement.

         2.6 Any Further License executed by The Regents for The Regents' Patent
Rights shall contain at least the following: (1) a license issue fee of
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* ; (2) a royalty rate of [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED]* ; and (3) a minimum annual royalty of [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED]* .

         To the extent applicable, such Further License shall include all of the
rights of, and obligations due to, The Regents (and, if applicable, the United
States government) that are contained in this Agreement, including but not
limited to the following: (1) the third party shall provide progress and royalty
reports to The Regents and the Licensee (Article 6); (2) the third party shall
accurately maintain books and records, which The Regents and the Licensee shall
retain the right to inspect (Article 7); (3) the third party shall comply with
all applicable patent marking laws. In addition, the third party shall insure
its activities and agree to indemnify The Regents and the Licensee (Article 17).

                                  3. ROYALTIES

         3.1      Effective July 1, 2000, as further consideration for all the
rights and licenses granted to Licensee:

         (3.1a)   Licensee will pay to The Regents a royalty rate of
                  [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* on the Good Faith List
                  Price of each DCD sold as an accessory or an upgrade to a
                  laser system;

         (3.1b)   Licensee shall pay to The Regents a royalty rate of
                  [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* based on the Good Faith
                  List Price of each laser system sold with an integrated DCD;
                  and

         (3.1c)   In the case of sales to resellers (e.g. distributors or
                  original equipment manufacturers), [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
                  REQUESTED]* royalty in Paragraphs 3.1a and 3.1b shall be based
                  on Licensee's price to its reseller.

         3.2 Upon closing and as a prepayment (in full) for the annual
exclusivity fee, Licensee will pay by wire transfer to the Regents [CONFIDENTIAL

         3.3 The Regents shall pay to Licensee [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]* of Gross Revenue actually remitted to The Regents as a result of The
Regents' Further Licensing of The Regents' Patent Rights. Where The Regents
Further Licenses its Patent Rights, each Further Licensee shall make all royalty
payments to The Regents on a [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* basis. The
Regents shall then, [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* , remit the appropriate
payment to the Licensee. In such cases, The Regents shall not be responsible or
accountable for any Further Licensee's failure to make royalty payments.

         3.4 Paragraphs 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 define Regents' Patent Rights, Patent
Product and Patent Method so that royalties shall be payable on products and
methods covered by both pending patent applications and issued patents. Earned
royalties shall accrue in each country for the duration of Regents' Patent
Rights in that country and shall be payable to The Regents when Patent Products
are invoiced, or if not invoiced, when delivered to a third party or to itself,
an Affiliate, or Joint Venture, in the case where such delivery of the Patent
Products to Licensee, an Affiliate, or Joint Venture, is intended for end use.

         3.5 Royalties accruing to The Regents shall be paid to The Regents
quarterly on or before the following dates of each calendar year:

                  February 28 for the calendar quarter ending December 31

                  May 31 for the calendar quarter ending March 31

                  August 31 for the calendar quarter ending June 30

                  November 30 for the calendar quarter ending September 30

Each such payment will be for royalties which accrued up to Licensee's most
recently completed calendar quarter.

         3.6 Licensee shall pay a minimum annual royalty of [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED]* and thereafter for the life of this Agreement. This
minimum annual royalty shall be paid to The Regents by February 28 of each year
and shall be credited against the earned royalty due and owing for the calendar
year in which the minimum payment was made.

         3.7 If Licensee fails to pay the minimum annual royalties according to
the schedule set forth in Paragraph 3.5, then The Regents may give written
notice of such default (Notice of Default) to Licensee. If Licensee should fail
to repair such default [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* of the date of such
notice takes effect, The Regents shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement and the licenses herein by a second written notice (Notice of
Termination) to Licensee. Subject to the provisions and restrictions of Section
10 governing

dispute resolution, if a Notice of Termination is sent to the Licensee, this
agreement shall automatically terminate on the date such notice takes effect.

         3.8 All monies due The Regents shall be payable in United States funds
collectible at par in San Francisco, California. When Patent Products are sold
for monies other than United States dollars, the earned royalties will first be
determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Patent Products
were sold and then converted into equivalent United States funds. The exchange
rate will be that rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last business
day of the reporting period.

         3.9 Earned royalties paid to The Regents on sales of Patent Products
occurring in any country outside the United States shall not be reduced by any
taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government of such country.
Licensee shall also be responsible for all bank transfer charges.

         3.10 Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 25 (FORCE MAJEURE), if
at anytime legal restrictions prevent prompt remittance of part or all royalties
owed to The Regents by Licensee with respect to any country where a Patent
Product is sold or distributed, Licensee shall convert the amount owed to The
Regents into United States funds and shall pay The Regents directly from another
source of funds for the amount impounded.

         3.11 In the event that any patent or any claim thereof included within
The Regents' Patent Rights shall be held invalid in a final decision by a court
of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be
taken, all obligation to pay royalties based on such patent or claim or any
claim patentably indistinct therefrom shall cease as of the date of such final
decision. Licensee shall not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties
that accrued before such decision or that are based on another patent or claim
that has not expired or that is not involved in such decision.

         3.12 No royalties shall be collected or paid hereunder to The Regents
on Patent Products sold to the account of the U.S. Government. Licensee shall
reduce the amount charged for Patent Products distributed to the United States
Government by an amount equal to the royalty for such Patent Products otherwise
due The Regents as provided herein.

                                4. DUE DILIGENCE

         4.1 Licensee, upon execution of this Agreement, shall diligently
proceed with the development, manufacture and sale of Patent Products
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* after execution of this Agreement and
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* to meet the market demands therefor.

         4.2 Licensee shall be entitled to exercise prudent and reasonable
business judgment in the manner in which it meets its due diligence obligations
hereunder. In no case, however, shall

Licensee be relieved of its obligations to meet the due diligence provisions of
this Article 4 (DUE DILIGENCE).

         4.3 Licensee shall endeavor to obtain all necessary governmental
approvals in each country for the manufacture, use and sale of Patent Products.

         4.4      If Licensee is unable to perform any of the following:

                  (4.4a)   market such Patent Product in the United States
                           [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* after approval to
                           market such Patent Product is issued by the United
                           States Food and Drug Administration; and

                  (4.4b)   [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* for Patent
                           Products [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* at any
                           time during the exclusive period of this Agreement.

then The Regents shall have the right and option to terminate this Agreement or
reduce Licensee's exclusive licenses to nonexclusive licenses in accordance with
Paragraph 4.5 hereof. The exercise of this right and option by The Regents
supersedes the rights granted in Article 2 (LIFE OF PATENT EXCLUSIVE GRANT).

         4.5 If the Licensee fails to meet the Due Diligence requirements set
forth in Section 4.4, The Regents shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement or reduce the Licensee's exclusive license to a non-exclusive license.
To exercise this right, The Regents shall give the Licensee written notice of
the default pursuant to Section 8.1. The Licensee thereafter shall have
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* to cure the deficiency. If The Regents has
received written evidence that he deficiency has been cured before the end of
the [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* , then The Regents shall provide the
Licensee with written notice that the deficiency has been cured. If The Regents
has not received written evidence that the deficiency has been cured by the end
of the [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* , then the Regents may, subject to
the provisions of Section 10, terminate this Agreement or reduce the Licensee's
exclusive license to a non-exclusive license by giving written notice to the
Licensee. Such notice shall be subject to Section 18 (Notices).

                         5. PROGRESS AND ROYALTY REPORTS

         5.1 Beginning February 28, 2001, and [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]* thereafter, Licensee shall submit to The Regents a progress report
covering Licensee's activities related to the development and testing of all
Patent Products and the obtaining of the governmental approvals necessary for
marketing. These progress reports shall be provided to The Regents to cover the
progress of the research and development of the Patent Products until their
first commercial sale in the United States.

<PAGE>

         5.2 The progress reports submitted under Paragraph 5.1 shall include,
but not be limited to, the following topics so that The Regents may be able to
determine the progress of the development of Patent Products and may also be
able to determine whether or not Licensee has met its diligence obligations set
forth in Article 4 (DUE DILIGENCE) above:

              o    summary of work completed,

              o    key scientific discoveries,

              o    summary of work in progress,

              o    current schedule of anticipated events or milestones,

              o    market plans for introduction of Patent Products, and

              o    a summary of resources (dollar value) spent in the reporting
                   period.

         5.3 Licensee also agrees to report to The Regents in its immediately
subsequent progress and royalty report the date of first commercial sale of a
Patent Product(s) in each country.

         5.4 After the first commercial sale of a Patent Product, Licensee will
provide The Regents with quarterly royalty reports to The Regents on or before
each February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. Each such
royalty report will cover Licensee's most recently completed calendar quarter
(October through December, January through March, April through June , and July
through September) and will show:

                  (5.4a)   the Good Faith List Prices of Patent Products sold by
                           Licensee during the most recently completed calendar
                           quarter;

                  (5.4b)   the number of Patent Products sold or distributed by
                           Licensee;

                           with respect to all sales of Patent Products; and

                  (5.4d)   the exchange rates used, if any.

         5.5 If no sales of Patent Products have been made during any reporting
period after the first commercial sale of a Patent Product, then a statement to
this effect is required.

         5.6 On or before the dates set forth in Section 5.4, The Regents shall
provide the Licensee with a quarterly report stating any royalties that The
Regents has received from the Further Licensing of The Regents' Patent Rights.
Each royalty report shall cover The Regents' most recently completed calendar
quarter. This reporting obligation shall commence at the time The Regents enters
into a Further Licensing agreement for The Regents' Patent Rights. Thereafter,
if Further Licensing royalties are received by The Regents, respectively, a
statement to this effect is required in lieu of a royalty report.

         8.1 If Licensee should violate or fail to perform any term or covenant
of this Agreement, then The Regents may give written notice of such default

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* of the date of such notice takes affect, The
Regents shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the licenses herein
by a second written notice (Notice of Termination) to Licensee. If a Notice of
Termination is sent to Licensee, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on
the date such notice takes effect. Such termination shall not relieve Licensee
of its obligation to pay any royalty or license fees owing at the time of such
termination and shall not impair any accrued right of The Regents. These notices
shall be subject to Article 18 (NOTICES).

                           9. TERMINATION BY LICENSEE

         9.1 Licensee shall have the right at any time to terminate this
Agreement in whole or as to any portion of Regents' Patent Rights by giving
notice in writing to The Regents. Such Notice of Termination shall be subject to
Article 18 (NOTICES) and termination of this Agreement shall be effective
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* from the effective date of such notice.

         9.2 Any termination pursuant to the above paragraph shall not relieve
Licensee of any obligation or liability accrued hereunder prior to such
termination or rescind anything done by licensee or any payments made to The
Regents hereunder prior to the time such termination becomes effective, and such
termination shall not affect in any manner any rights of The Regents arising
under this Agreement prior to such termination.

                             10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         At the written request of either party, any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, excluding Article 12 (Use of Names
and Trademarks), Article 13 (Limited Warranty), Article 16 (Patent
Infringement), and Article 17 (Indemnification), shall be settled by binding
arbitration, the hearing of which will be commenced [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]* of the written request in accordance with the then-current Patent
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties shall use
a [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* , mutually acceptable arbitrator in any
arbitration contemplated under this Section. Arbitration arising out of this
amended Agreement shall take place in the state in which [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]* in any such arbitration has its principal place of business.

         11.1 Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall have the
privilege of disposing of all previously made or partially made Patent Products,
but no more, within a period of [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* , provided,
however, that the sale of such Patent Products shall be subject to the terms of
this Agreement including, but not limited to the payment of royalties on the
Good Faith List Price of Patent Products at the rates and at the times provided
herein and the rendering of reports in connection therewith.

                         12. USE OF NAMES AND TRADEMARKS

         12.1 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
conferring any right to use in advertising, publicity, or other promotional
activities any name, trade name, trademark, or other designation of either party
hereto by the other (including contraction, abbreviation or simulation of any of
the foregoing). Unless required by law, the use by Licensee of the name, "The
Regents of the University of California" or the name of any campus of the
University of California is expressly prohibited.

         12.2 It is understood that The Regents shall be free to release to the
inventors and senior administrative officials employed by The Regents the terms
and conditions of this Agreement upon their request. If such release is made,
The Regents shall request that such terms and conditions not be disclosed to
others. It is further understood that should a third party inquire whether a
license to Regents' Patent Rights is available, The Regents may disclose the
existence of this Agreement and the Extent of the grant in Article 2 to such
third party, but shall not disclose the name of Licensee, except where The
Regents is required to release such information under either the California

         13.4     Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as:

                (13.4a)    a warranty or representation by The Regents as to the
                           validity, enforceability, or scope of any Regents'

                (13.4b)    a warranty or representation that anything made,
                           used, sold or otherwise disposed of under any license
                           granted in this Agreement is or will be free from
                           infringement of patents of third parties; or

                (13.4c)    an obligation to bring or prosecute actions or suits
                           against third parties for patent infringement except
                           as provided in Article 17; or

                (13.4d)    conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise any
                           license or rights under any patents of The Regents
                           other than Regents' Patent Rights as defined herein,
                           regardless of whether such patents are dominant or
                           subordinate to Regent's Patent Rights; or

                (13.4e)    an obligation to furnish any know-how not provided in
                           Regents' Patent Rights.

         13.5 Except as provided in Section 2b of the Settlement Agreement,
Licensee will provide to the University of California the equipment described in
Section 3.2 above without warranty of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose or any other warranty, express or implied.

                     14. PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE

         14.1 The Regents shall diligently prosecute and maintain the United
States and foreign patents comprising Regents' Patent Rights using counsel of
its choice. The Regents shall promptly provide Licensee with copies of all
relevant documentation so that Licensee may be currently and promptly informed
and apprised of the continuing prosecution, and may comment upon such
documentation sufficiently in advance of any initial deadline for filing a
response, provided, however, that if Licensee has not commented upon such
documentation prior to the initial deadline for filing a response with the
relevant government patent office or The Regents must act to preserve Regent's
Patent Rights, The Regents shall be free to respond appropriately without
consideration of Licensee's comments, if any. Both parties hereto agree to keep
this documentation in confidence in accordance with the provisions of Article 26
(CONFIDENTIALITY) herein. The Regents' counsel will take instructions only from
The Regents.

         14.2 The Regents shall use all reasonable efforts to amend any patent
application to include claims requested by Licensee and required to protect the
Patent Products contemplated to be sold or Patent Method to be practiced under
this Agreement.

         14.3 The Regents and Licensee shall cooperate in applying for an
extension of the term of any patent included within Regents' Patent Rights, if

Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984. Licensee shall prepare all
such documents, and The Regents agrees to execute such documents and to take
such additional action as Licensee may reasonably request in connection
therewith.

         14.4 The Regents shall, at the request of Licensee, file, prosecute,
and maintain patent applications and patents covered by Regents' Patent Rights
in foreign countries if available. Licensee must notify The Regents
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* of the filing of the corresponding United
States application of its decision to request The Regents to file foreign
counterpart patent applications. This notice concerning foreign filing shall be
in writing and must identify the countries desired. The absence of such a notice
from Licensee to The Regents [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* shall be
considered an election by Licensee not to request The Regents to secure foreign
patent rights on behalf of Licensee. The Regents shall have the right to file
patent applications at its own expense in any country Licensee has not included
in its list of desired countries, and such applications and resultant patents,
if any, shall not be included in the licenses granted under this Agreement.

         14.5 All past, present and future costs of preparing, filing,
prosecuting and maintaining all United States and foreign patent applications
and all costs and fees relating to the preparation and filing of patents covered
by Regents' Patent Rights in Paragraph 1.1 shall be borne by Licensee. This
includes patent preparation and prosecution costs for this Invention incurred by
The Regents prior to the execution of this Agreement; such costs will be due
upon execution of this Agreement and shall be payable at the time that the
License Issue Fee is payable. The costs of all interferences and oppositions
shall be considered prosecution expenses and also shall be borne by Licensee.
Licensee shall reimburse The Regents for all assessed costs and charges
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* following receipt of a proper itemized
invoice from The Regents for same. The costs and charges assessed to Licensee
pursuant to this paragraph shall not [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* per
patent application.

         14.6 Licensee's obligation to underwrite and to pay patent filing costs
and related costs, prosecution and maintenance costs shall continue until three
(3) months after receipt by either party of a Notice of Termination. But
Licensee may with respect to any particular patent application or patent
terminate its obligations with the patent application or patent in any or all
designated countries upon three (3) months written notice to The Regents. The
Regents will use its best efforts to curtail the associated patent costs after
such a notice is received from Licensee. The Regents may continue prosecution
and/or maintenance of such application(s) or patent(s) at its sole discretion
and expense, provided, however, that Licensee shall have no further right or
licenses thereunder.

         14.7 Licensee shall have a continuing responsibility to keep The
Regents informed of its large/small entity status (as defined by the United
States Patent and Trademark Office).

                               15. PATENT MARKING

         15.1 Licensee shall mark all Patent Products made, used or sold under
the terms of this Agreement, or their containers, in accordance with the
applicable patent marking laws.

                             16. PATENT INFRINGEMENT

         16.1 In the event that Licensee shall learn of the substantial
infringement of any patent licensed under this Agreement, Licensee shall call
The Regents' attention thereto in writing and shall provide The Regents with
reasonable evidence of such infringement. Both parties to this Agreement agree
that during the period and in a jurisdiction where Licensee has exclusive rights
under this Agreement, neither will notify a third party of the infringement of
any of Regents' Patent Rights without first obtaining consent of the other
party, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied. Both parties shall use
their best efforts in cooperation with each other to terminate such infringement
without litigation.

         16.2 Licensee may request that The Regents take legal action against
the infringement of Regents' Patent Rights. Such request shall be made in
writing and shall include reasonable evidence of such infringement and damages
to Licensee. If the infringing activity has not been abated [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED]* following the effective date of such request, The Regents
shall have the right to elect to:

                (16.2a)    commence suit on its own account; or

                (16.2b)    refuse to participate in such suit,

and The Regents shall give notice of its election in writing to Licensee by the
end of the [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* after receiving notice of such
request from Licensee. Licensee may thereafter bring suit for patent
infringement if and only if The Regents elects not to commence suit and if the
infringement occurred during the period and in a jurisdiction where Licensee had
exclusive rights under this Agreement. However, in the event Licensee elects to
bring suit in accordance with this paragraph, The Regents may thereafter join
such suit at its own expense. In the event The Regents elects to join such suit,
The Regents shall pay [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]* of the past costs
incurred by Licensee in conjunction with the infringement suit.

         16.3 Such legal action as is decided upon shall be at the expense of
the party on account of whom suit is brought and all recoveries recovered
thereby shall belong to such party, provided, however, that legal action brought
jointly by The Regents and Licensee and fully participated in by both shall be
at the joint expense of the parties and all recoveries shall be allocated in the
following order: i) to each party reimbursement in equal amounts of costs and
fees of outside attorneys and other related expenses to the extent each party
incurred for such costs, fees, and expenses until all such costs, fees, and
expenses are consumed for each party;

and (ii) any remaining amount shared jointly by them in proportion to the share
of expense paid by each party.

         16.4 Each party agrees to cooperate with the other in litigation
proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party on account of
whom suit is brought. Such litigation shall be controlled by the party bringing
the suit, except that The Regents may be represented by counsel of its choice in
any suit brought by Licensee.

                               17. INDEMNIFICATION

         17.1 Licensee agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend The
Regents, its officers, employees, and agents; the sponsors of the research that
led to the Regents' Patent Rights; the inventors of any invention covered by
patents or patent applications in Regents' Patent Rights (including the Patent
Products and Patent Method contemplated thereunder), and their employers against
any and all claims, suits, losses, damage, costs, fees, and expenses resulting
from or arising out of exercise of this license. This indemnification will
include, but will not be limited to, any product liability. Nothing in this
paragraph 17.1 or in this Agreement is intended to impose any duty for Licensee
to indemnify, hold harmless or defend New Star, its officers, employees, and
agents for any matter related to this Agreement.

         17.2     Licensee, at its sole cost and expense, shall insure its
activities in connection with the work under this Agreement and obtain, keep in
force and maintain insurance as follows: (or an equivalent program of self
insurance)

         Comprehensive or Commercial Form General Liability Insurance
(contractual liability included) with limits as follows:

                           [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]*

         It should be expressly understood, however, that the coverages and
limits referred to under the above shall not in any way limit the liability of
Licensee. Licensee shall furnish The Regents with certificates of insurance
evidencing compliance with all requirements. Such certificates shall:

                  (a)      Provide for thirty (30) day advance written notice to
                           The Regents of any modification.

                           The Regents.

         17.3 The Regents shall promptly notify Licensee in writing of any claim
or suit brought against The Regents in respect of which The Regents intends to
invoke the provisions of this Article 17 (INDEMNIFICATION). Licensee will keep
The Regents informed on a current basis of its defense of any claims pursuant to
this Article 17 (INDEMNIFICATION).

                                   18. NOTICES

                                evidenced in writing; or

                           vi)  that The Regents is required to disclose
                                pursuant to the California Public Records Act or
