Seller and Purchaser are each referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

 

BACKGROUND

 

Seller and Purchaser are parties to a Production Agreement, dated June 8, 1998, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Production Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”), dated as of December 11, 2001 (collectively, the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller agreed to produce certain products related to the Histofreezer Business for the Purchaser. The Parties desire to amend further the Original Agreement in order to provide for the production of a New Product by Seller for Purchaser for ultimate sale into the over-the-counter or consumer market in certain territories.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Amendment, Seller and Purchaser, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.    Definitions.    Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Agreement.

The OTC Product Specifications shall be deemed to be the “Specifications” for the OTC Product for all purposes of the Original Agreement.

(a) The price for the purchase of OTC Product shall be as set forth in Exhibit 6 to this Amendment.

 

(b) The parties acknowledge a typographical error in Section 4.2 of Amendment No. 1. The change from “30%” to “10%” in such Section should have been, and is hereby deemed to have been, made to Section 4.3 of the Original Agreement.

 

7.    No Other Changes.    Except as set forth in this Amendment, the Original Agreement remains in full force and effect without any other changes. The Original Agreement, together with this Amendment, constitute the entire agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede and cancel all previous negotiations, agreements, and commitments, whether oral or in writing, with respect to such subject matter. All references to the Original Agreement shall be deemed to mean the Original Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

8.    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile transmission of a signed original shall be deemed to be the same as delivery of a signed original.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned duly authorized officers of the Seller and the Purchaser have executed this Amendment as of the date first above written.
