effective March 24, 2000
Dear Xxxxx:
Reference is made to the Technology Access and Applications Development
Agreement by and between Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("MPI") and Caliper
Technologies Corp. ("Caliper") effective as of March 24, 2000 ("Agreement").
Capitalized terms used in this amendment ("Amendment") but not defined shall
have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
The purpose of this Amendment is to evidence the agreement of MPI and
Caliper to amend the terms of the Agreement and to memorialize the mutual
agreement of the parties to negotiate in good faith, a new agreement that shall
include, without limitation, terms related to development projects of
microfluidic systems to be conducted jointly by the parties and the financial
terms described herein (the "Definitive Agreement"). The parties agree to use
good faith efforts to conclude such negotiations and execute a definitive
agreement pertaining to such joint development projects by January 31, 2002.
1. Credits for Certain Fees Due under the Agreement.
a. General. Caliper affirms that all technology development fees set
forth in Section 4.1 of the Agreement have been paid in full by MPI except for
the non-refundable payment of [ * ], which MPI shall pay to Caliper by January
24, 2002. This fee shall constitute a credit which may be used by MPI and its
Affiliates pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 1(c).
b. Purchase Credits for Paid Fees. Effective as of December 18, 2001,
Caliper grants to MPI a one-time credit in the amount of [ * ] which may be used

delivery of such instrument to MPI's Cambridge, MA facility by December 31, 2001
and MPI agrees to accept delivery thereof;
ii. [ * ] of the credit set forth in 1(b)(i) may be used by MPI
to purchase Commercially Released Products and any services Caliper offers
generally or to MPI under the terms set forth in Sections 2 and 3, by placing
purchase order(s) with Caliper up to such amount on or before [ * ]. Subject to
Section 3, all such purchase orders shall provide for delivery of such products
and services by a date mutually agreed to by MPI and Caliper which in no event
shall be later than [ * ].
For the avoidance of doubt, "Commercially Released Products" as used in
this Amendment shall mean products which are commercially released and generally
available to Caliper's customers.
c. Conversion of Future Fees to Credits. The fee paid by MPI to Caliper
pursuant to Section 1(a) of this Amendment shall constitute a credit which may
be used by MPI and its Affiliates to place purchase order(s) with Caliper on or
before [ * ] to purchase Caliper's Commercially Released Products and any
services Caliper offers generally or to MPI pursuant to the Agreement or any
amendment thereof, including, but not limited to, Caliper FTEs applied to NAPs.
Subject to Section 3, all such purchase orders shall provide for delivery of
such products and services by a date mutually agreed to by MPI and Caliper which
in no event shall be later than [ * ].
2. Purchase Terms for Commercially Released Products. As of December 18, 2001
and until [ * ], Caliper agrees to provide the following discounts or prices to
MPI and its Affiliates for all products and services listed in Schedule II of
this Amendment and any modified or upgraded version of such products, and any
Commercially Released Products with applicability to high throughput screening
("HTS"):
a. [ * ] off the list price of Instruments set forth in Caliper's
product catalog then current at the time of purchase;

COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS
AMENDED.
2.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, standard field services (i.e. service
contracts on Instruments) shall be provided at Caliper's then current rate;
c. Chips with data point pricing, other than the Chips set forth in
Schedule III, will be provided at the list price set forth in Caliper's product
catalog then current at the time of purchase and data points will be provided at
[ * ] off the list price of data points corresponding to such Chips, as set
forth in Caliper's product catalog then current at the time of purchase and
without regard to any discounting for volume purchases of data points.
d. The Chips listed in Schedule III will be available to MPI and its
Affiliates at the prices set forth therein.
e. In the event Caliper offers Chips to any Person without data point
pricing associated with such Chips, Caliper agrees to offer such Chips to MPI
and its Affiliates at a discount that shall be at least equivalent to the
discount set forth in subsection 2(c).
f. For any proposed purchase by MPI or any of its Affiliates of a
substantial volume of the same commercially released product or service offered
by Caliper generally or to MPI, Caliper agrees to negotiate in good faith with
MPI and its Affiliates regarding a discount on the purchase price of such item
based on the quantity of such items purchased by MPI and its Affiliates.
g. If MPI or its Affiliates desires to purchase Chips with data point
pricing under the terms set forth in this Section 2, then MPI and Caliper shall
mutually agree upon the terms of a separate written agreement between the
parties which sets forth the definition of a "datapoint" and matters related to
Caliper's access to the number of datapoints generated by MPI for payment
purposes.
h. [ * ]. Until [ * ] MPI and its Affiliates shall have the right to
purchase the following products and services [ * ]:
i. "Applications Developer Program", "NAP" or any other
service of a similar type to the foregoing (i.e. Caliper

3.
i. In the event that more than one discount may apply to a particular
item under this Amendment, other agreements between the parties or pursuant to
Caliper's standard commercial practices, MPI at its sole option may choose which
discount to apply but may not combine discounts.
3. Availability of Products. Caliper agrees to provide the type and quantity of
commercially released Chips, which are identified in a firm order made by MPI or
its Affiliates to Caliper within [ * ] of Caliper's receipt of such firm order;
provided, however, such Chips were identified in both type and quantity in a
non-binding product purchase forecast provided by MPI or its Affiliates to
Caliper at least three months prior to the placement of such firm order by MPI
or its Affiliates. In the event Caliper is unable to provide such Chips to MPI
or its Affiliates within such [ * ], then the parties will discuss in good faith
a commercially reasonable remedy to compensate MPI for the late delivery of such
Chips.

Agreement, MPI and Caliper agree to the following with respect to payments made
by MPI to Caliper under the Agreement to support Caliper FTE activities under
the Program:
a. MPI and Caliper have reconciled all payments made by MPI to Caliper
