AB shall have the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to initiate the Gene Expression Commercialization Phase subject to the Parties, as set forth below, agreeing upon the financial terms of a milestone payment that would be triggered by commencement of the Gene Expression Commercialization Phase and the revenue share to be paid by AB to BT as the transfer price for Gene Expression Arrays as per Section 5.03. AB’s right shall, until the second year anniversary of the Effective Date, be in the form of an exclusive right of first negotiation with the financial terms to be negotiated in good faith based on the fair market value of the business opportunity represented by Commercialization of Gene Expression Arrays. In the event that AB elects, before the second anniversary of the Effective Date, to exercise such right of first negotiation it shall do so by written notice to BT and subject to the procedure below. After such two year period, if AB shall

not have provided such written notice, BT shall have the right to Commercialize such Gene Expression Assays in collaboration with a Third Party subject to BT first providing AB with written notice of BT’s intention to Commercialize such Assays with a Third Party and subject to the following conditions set forth in this Section 5.01(b). Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from BT, AB, at its sole discretion, may elect to exercise the same initial exclusive negotiation procedure with BT as set forth in this Section 5.01 (b) as would apply were AB to exercise its right of first negotiation within such two year period. Regardless of the circumstances under which AB exercises its right of first negotiation hereunder (or when such right is exercised), the Parties shall commence such negotiations within [***] after BT’s receipt of such notice or AB’s receipt (after such two year period) of BT’s notice as the case may be. Such exclusive negotiation period shall, unless AB elects to earlier terminate such discussions, extend for [***] beyond the commencement date of such negotiation. If at the end of such period, BT and AB are unable to agree on such financial terms for the Commercialization of Gene Expression Arrays, then, unless the Parties agree to extend the negotiation period, AB shall promptly deliver to BT a final proposal detailing AB’s proposed financial terms (the “Final Proposal”). BT shall have [***] from receipt of the Final Proposal to notify AB of its willingness to enter into an arrangement on such terms or not. If BT rejects such terms, then BT shall no longer be restricted by the terms of this Agreement from entering into discussions with Third Parties directed at a collaboration with respect to the Commercialization of Arrays for Gene Expression and entering into such collaboration with such Third Party; provided, however, that BT agrees that, with respect to any discussions with a Third Party involving Commercialization of Gene Expression Arrays, it will not accept from such Third Party or offer such Third Party financial terms that are more favorable to the Third Party than those terms offered to or proposed to be entered into with AB. Prior to entering into any such arrangement with a Third Party directed at the Commercialization of Arrays for Gene Expression, BT shall provide AB with a true and accurate copy of the proposed financial terms of such arrangement with such Third Party and AB shall have [***] from receipt of such notice to elect to commence the Gene Expression Commercialization Phase on financially equivalent terms (e.g., with a financially comparable milestone fee and revenue share). In the event that, subject to BT’s compliance with the terms of this Section 5.01(b), BT enters a definitive agreement with a Third Party, then on the date of execution of that agreement, the Field shall be deemed to exclude Gene Expression and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall cease to apply with respect to Gene Expression products.

AB shall have the right to audit BT’s compliance with the foregoing escrow deposit requirements. Without limiting BT’s obligations, BT shall pay for the costs of such audit in the event of any material discrepancy with its compliance with the foregoing escrow deposit obligations and BT shall promptly rectify any noncompliance identified by AB or AB’s auditor with such escrow deposit requirements.

Section 8.09 Post-Termination Rights. Each Party grants to the other the following post-termination rights:

(a) In the event of termination due to breach by BT, BT shall grant to AB an exclusive, worldwide, royalty bearing sublicensable license (in an amount not to exceed 10% of Net Sales for Arrays, with 5% thereof being applicable to BT IP, and 5% applicable to BT Know-how, and amounts set forth in 5.04 for Instruments) under BT’s Intellectual Property to develop, make, have made, use, import, sell and offer for sale any Collaboration Products in the Field. Terms of such license shall not be less favorable than BT offers to any other licensee.

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.03 (and provided that AB is not otherwise in breach of any material teens of this Agreement), BT shall grant to AB a worldwide, royalty bearing non-exclusive license (in an amount not to exceed [***] of Net Sales for Arrays, with [***] thereof being applicable to BT IP, and [***] applicable to BT Know-how, and amounts set forth in 5.04 for Instruments) to make, use, import, sell and offer for sale versions of Collaboration Products existing as of the date of expiration or termination, within the Field. Terms of such license shall not be less favorable than BT offers to any other licensee.

(c) In any event, upon any expiration of the Agreement, BT shall grant to AB a worldwide, royalty bearing, non-exclusive, license (in an amount not to exceed [***] of Net Sales for Arrays, with [***] thereof being applicable to BT IP, and [***] applicable to BT Know-how, and amounts set forth in 5.04 for Instruments) under the BT Intellectual Property (including any know-how or information provided by BT) to develop, make, use, import, sell and offer for sale Collaboration Products within the Field. Terms of such license shall not be less favorable than BT offers to any other licensee.

(d) BT will have a right of first negotiation post-termination to obtain a nonexclusive royalty bearing license to make, use and sell BT Open Array improvements made by AB using BT Confidential Information.

Section 8.10 Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to or on account of such termination or expiration. Without limiting the foregoing, the provisions of Articles IX, X, XII, and XIII and Sections 7.14, 7.15, 8.04, 8.09, and 11.03 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by from one Party to the other Party are, and shall irrevocably be deemed to be, “Intellectual Property” as defined in Section 101(35A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Each Party shall be entitled to all rights and benefits accorded to such Party as a licensee of Intellectual Property pursuant to Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Except as expressly permitted by the Agreement, this Agreement and the rights hereunder are non-delegable and non-assignable by the licensee Party. Without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly permitted

by this Agreement, this Agreement cannot be assumed or assumed and assigned by a trustee or debtor-in-possession in bankruptcy as set forth in Section 365(c)(1) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar provisions of state or federal law.

Section 8.12 Reformatter. In the event (i) BT materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach [***] of receipt of such notice or (ii) in the event of an event triggering AB’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.06 herein, BT shall use reasonable business efforts to provide AB full access to BT’s Reformatters that are required to manufacture Open Array products covered under the Commercialization Phase of this Agreement, including the required training and production assistance in undertaking Open Array production.

ARTICLE IX. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

Section 9.01 AB Indemnity. AB agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BT, its agents, employees, successors, and assigns from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, and expenses, including legal expenses and fees (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from third party actions, suits or proceedings resulting from or arising out of (i) a material breach by AB of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) the possession, use, sale or manufacture of System Components by or for AB, to the extent not subject to BT’s indemnification obligations and not caused by BT or resulting from BT’s failure to comply with its obligations, warranties and covenants herein; (iii) the gross negligence or willful misfeasance of AB; or (iv) the failure of AB to comply with all applicable law, rules and regulations applicable to or in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.02 BT Indemnity. BT agrees to indemnify and hold harmless AB, its agents, employees, successors, and assigns from and against all Losses resulting from third party actions, suits or proceedings resulting from or arising out of (i) a material breach by BT of its obligations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement; (ii) defects or negligence in the design, development, formatting or manufacturing of any System Component supplied to AB hereunder; (iii) the possession, use, sale or manufacture of System Components by or for BT, to the extent not subject to BT’s indemnification obligations and not caused by AB or resulting from AB’s failure to comply with its obligations, warranties and covenants herein; (iv) the gross negligence or willful misfeasance of BT; or (v) the failure of BT to comply with all applicable law, rules and regulations applicable to or in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder. In addition, BT shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend AB from any Losses resulting from a claim that making, using or selling of System Components supplied by BT under this Agreement infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property rights of Third Parties.

(a) Exclusions. BT shall not be liable to AB for the indemnification required in the last sentence of 9.02 above if such infringement: (a) is caused by modification of the System Component by AB without BT’s approval, where and only to the extent such modification is the basis or grounds for infringement; (b) arises due to System Component that is entirely manufactured and/or supplied according to specifications originating solely with and required by AB, to the extent such specifications are the basis

or grounds for infringement; or (c) arises due to use of a System Component by AB in a manner that the parties have previously agreed in writing is forbidden.

(b) Remedies. Without limiting in any manner AB’s indemnification rights under this Section 9.02 and prior to the inception of any actual lawsuit or similar action against AB, if any System Component is in BT’s reasonable and good-faith opinion likely to become subject to a claim of infringement, BT shall immediately inform the JDC and may consider remedy options including, BT may, at its option and following notice to AB (a) procure for AB the right to continue using the System Component; (b) replace or modify the System Component so that such System Component becomes non-infringing, provided AB previously approves such replacement or modification in writing; and/or (c) recover the System Component and refund to AB the price actually paid for the infringing System Component. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AB shall have the right to require BT to procure (at BT’s expense) a license to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import such System Components under Third Party Intellectual Property rights (but for the avoidance of doubt excepting any patent rights that solely cover Assay chemistry and Assay methods as opposed to patents that also cover Arrays, Instruments or Reformatters) to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by AB to avoid infringement liability at BT’s expense and if BT fails to do so within a reasonable period of time [***] after AB’s request, then AB shall have the right to procure such license and to credit all expenses including royalties paid to such third party against AB’s payment obligations (including, without limitation, Revenue Sharing Payments) under this Agreement.

(c) With respect to Third Party patent rights that solely cover Assay chemistry and Assay methods, but that do not also cover devices or an apparatus, the JDC will determine which of the Parties shall procure rights to continue using the System Component and determine a reasonable sharing of the cost of such rights procurement.

Section 9.03 Indemnification Procedures. In any claim for indemnification relating to Losses arising in connection with any action, suit or proceeding asserted by one or more Third Parties against an indemnified party (a “Third Party Claim”), the indemnified party agrees to give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim. The indemnifying Party shall, if it so chooses and acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for a Third Party Claim, be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Should the indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnifying Party has failed to defend, contest or otherwise protest in a timely manner against such Third Party Claim or (ii) a conflict of interest exists such that separate representation of the indemnified party is appropriate (and in each of case (i) and (ii) the indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party during such period). If the indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the indemnified party may, at its sole option and expense, participate in such defense and employ

separate counsel, and further agrees to cooperate in the conduct of any such defense. If the indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle such Third Party Claim, in its discretion, with a full release of the indemnified party and no admission of liability; provided that the indemnifying Party shall obtain the written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, prior to settling any Third Party Claim if as a result thereof the indemnified party would become subject to injunctive or other equitable relief or any remedy other than the payment of money by the indemnifying Party, or if the business of the indemnified party would be adversely affected in any manner. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnified party may not settle any action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is sought hereunder without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent.

Section 9.04 Insurance. BT shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain insurance with a financially sound insurance company having an A.M. Best Rating of A+ or better in the areas of worker’s compensation; employer’s liability for bodily injury suffered through accident or disease; commercial general liability, and other areas of coverage to the reasonable satisfaction of AB, but in no event shall BT carry coverage with limits of less than [***]. BT shall furnish AB certificate(s) of insurance evidencing the coverage required for BT by AB and the insurer’s agreement to provide thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to AB in the event of cancellation or material change in coverage. BT’s insurance policies shall also name AB as an additional insured with coverage for AB at least as broad as provided to BT for liability arising out of System Component supplied pursuant to this Agreement. Such insurance shall be primary to any insurance carried by AB and BT will furnish AB a certificate of insurance evidencing the same.

If and to the extent that in the course of this Collaboration Program AB invents, develops or creates an improvement or modification to BT’s design (that incorporates BT’s know-how and designs that are Confidential Information of BT) of BT Open Array™, Reformatter or sample loader for BT Open Array™, the practice of which would require a license to avoid infringing BT’s Intellectual Property rights (such improvement or modification, “AB Improvements”), AB will promptly notify BT of the

existence of such AB Improvements to BT. BT shall for [***] after such notification have a right to negotiate with AB a non-exclusive, royalty bearing license in the Field under such AB Improvements to make, have made, use, offer for sale and import any products and to practice any methods claimed by or embodied in such AB Improvements on mutually agreed upon terms and conditions. Such license shall include the right to grant sublicenses to BT’s customers solely to the extent necessary to use such products and/or practice such methods. Such license shall be non-transferable except in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets or equity of BT, whether by sale of assets, merger, stock purchase or otherwise.

The Parties shall share equally all reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys fees and prosecution costs (including, without limitation, filing fees, maintenance fees) incurred in connection with such prosecution and maintenance activities, provided that either Party may avoid its responsibility for such costs by assigning its rights in such Joint IP to the other Party. If either Party assigns to the other its rights in such Joint IP, the other Party shall use reasonable efforts to implement the prosecution and maintenance strategy that was previously promulgated by the Joint Development Committee.

(d) Each Party shall keep the other Party promptly and fully informed of the course of patent prosecution, maintenance or other proceedings pertaining to Joint IP including by providing the other Party with copies of important, substantive communications, search reports and third party observations submitted to or received

from patent offices throughout the world.

ATTACHMENT D-1

Supplier Change Request (SCR) Procedure

Scope:

The purpose of the Supplier Change Request (SCR) Form is to ensure the appropriate level of communication regarding Inventory-related changes between the Applied Biosystems Group (ABG) and Supplier. Supplier will utilize this form to communicate changes as defined in the Change Notification Procedure.

Procedure:

The key contacts between ABG and the Supplier should be in regular contact with each other so that changes raised by the Supplier are discussed before any formal paperwork is submitted.

The Supplier completes the SCR Form and sends it electronically to the ABG personnel specified in the Change Notification Procedure (Buyer, Procurement Manager & Supplier Quality Manager). The Supplier contact will call the ABG Buyer to confirm receipt of the SCR Form.

The ABG Buyer must respond to the Supplier contact in writing within 2 business days of receipt to confirm receipt of the SCR Form. The ABG Buyer is responsible for using the Form to initiate the review and evaluation of the change within ABG. The Buyer and other necessary ABG contacts will work with the supplier, as necessary, to ensure the SCR Form is sufficiently complete within 5 business days of receipt of the SCR Form.

ABG performs internal review and evaluation.

If ABG approves the change, the ABG Buyer and ABG Technical Contact note the internal qualification reference # (DR #) and sign their approval on the SCR Form and submit to the Supplier. The Supplier must confirm receipt of approval within 2 business days. If there is any change to the original planned Implementation Date / Lot Number, the Supplier must request that ABG approve the change in plan.

•

The final approved and signed SCR Form is retained in official files for future reference by both ABG and the Supplier.

If ABG does not approve the change, the ABG Buyer and other necessary ABG contacts provide feedback to the Supplier with regard to ABG’s evaluation and collaborate, as appropriate, to reach an alternative solution (e.g. alternative specification; lifetime buy of current specification).
