Alternative Dispute Resolution

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

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

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

Within twenty-one (21) days following receipt of the original ADR notice, the Parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral to preside in the resolution of any disputes in this ADR proceeding. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable neutral within such period, either party may request the President of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (“CPR”), ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, to select a neutral pursuant to the following procedures:

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

(d)

If the Parties collectively have identified fewer than three (3) candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR immediately shall designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the Parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference. If a tie should result between

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

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

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

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

(d)

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

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

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

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

The party initiating the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, shall address not only issues it raised but also any issues raised by the

responding party. The responding party, if it chooses to make an opening statement, also shall address all issues raised in the ADR. Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.

(d)

Except when testifying, witness shall be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments.

(e)

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

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

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

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

(a)

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

(b)

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

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

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

neutral shall have the authority to impose sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information.

11.

All disputes referred to ADR, the statute of limitations, and the remedies for any wrong that may be found, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.

12.

The neutral may not award punitive damages. The Parties hereby waive the right to punitive damages.

13.

The hearings shall be conducted in the English language.

CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT: NOT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ZymoGenetics Signs Manufacturing Agreement with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Laboratories to Produce Recombinant Human Thrombin

Seattle, [date tbd], 2003 – ZymoGenetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZGEN) today announced that it has entered into a commercial manufacturing agreement with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) for the production of recombinant human Thrombin (rhThrombin). ZymoGenetics is developing rhThrombin as an alternative to bovine plasma-derived thrombin for use as a topical hemostat to control bleeding in a variety of surgical and wound healing settings.

“We’re pleased to be working with a company the caliber of Abbott,” commented ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of ZymoGenetics. “The establishment of this agreement provides us with a manufacturer that has extensive experience in the production of recombinant proteins. Though rhThrombin has not yet entered clinical testing, we expect he program to advance quite rapidly. By establishing a manufacturing partnership early in the development process, we hope to insure that the clinical development of rhThrombin proceeds on schedule.”

Plasma-derived thrombin has been used as a hemostatic agent for more than 30 years and is applied topically to surgical incisions, sutures and ▇▇▇▇▇ to help stop bleeding at these sites. Plasma-derived thrombin is used annually in over 500,000 surgeries in the US, and more than 1,000,000 surgeries worldwide. ZymoGenetics is developing recombinant human thrombin as an alternative to the bovine plasma-derived product. Bovine thrombin is currently the only form of thrombin that is sold in the United States as a stand-alone product for the treatment of surgical bleeding. Recombinant coagulation proteins have, to date, been readily accepted by the medial community as safe alternatives to plasma-derived proteins, as demonstrated by the rapid acceptance of recombinant forms of coagulation Factor VIII and Factor IX.

Under the agreement, Abbott will be responsible for the production of rhThrombin, which is produced in mammalian cell culture, for use by ZymoGenetics in late stage clinical studies and commercial sale. ZymoGenetics retains all commercial rights to rhThrombin under this agreement. Financial terms were not disclosed.
