(c) The assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Buyer hereunder shall be treated as independent of Buyer’s and Parent’s existing business and shall not enlarge any rights of third parties (“Third Parties”) under contracts or arrangements with Parent, Buyer or Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from contesting in good faith with any Third Parties any of the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that Buyer shall be solely responsible for any additional liabilities and obligations resulting from any such contest, including, without limitation, any and all fees, costs and expenses of its professional advisers and other agents and representatives.

2.3 Purchase Consideration.

Exhibit B (the “Promissory Note”). In support of the Buyer’s obligations under the Promissory Note, Parent shall also deliver to Seller at the Closing a Guaranty in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Guaranty”) duly executed by Parent pursuant to which Parent shall guarantee the obligations of Buyer under the Promissory Note. The Promissory Note shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and shall permit Buyer to offset against the outstanding principal amount thereof any indemnification obligations determined to be payable by Seller to Buyer under Article 6 hereof. Simultaneously with the Closing, Seller intends to assign the Promissory Note, the Security Agreements and the Guaranty to Comerica Bank—California pursuant to an Assignment of Note and Guaranty in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. The face amount of the Assumed Liabilities and the Purchase Shares are referred to herein collectively as the “Purchase Price”.

2.4 Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale contemplated by in this Agreement (herein called the “Closing”) shall be effective as of August 31, 2002 or such other date as the parties hereto shall mutually agree (the “Closing Date”).

2.5 Transfer of Subject Assets. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer good and sufficient instruments of transfer transferring to Buyer title to all the Subject Assets, including bills of sale, assignments of trademarks and patents, and such other instruments of transfer as may be required. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller good and sufficient instruments of assumption evidencing the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities, and such other instruments of assumption as may be required. Such instruments of transfer and assumption (a) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for Buyer and Parent, and (b) shall effectively vest in Buyer good and marketable title to all the Subject Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances.

2.6 Delivery of Records and Contracts. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer the Assigned Contracts, with such assignments thereof and consents to assignments as are required pursuant to the terms of such Assigned Contracts and are necessary to assure the full benefit thereof. Seller shall also deliver to Buyer at the Closing all of the Businesses’ Records and Seller shall take all requisite steps to put Buyer in actual possession and operating control of the Subject Assets and the Businesses. After the Closing, Buyer shall afford to Seller and its accountants, attorneys and other representatives reasonable access to the Businesses’ Records and shall permit Seller to make extracts and copies therefrom for the purpose of preparing such tax returns, financial statements (including audited financial statements) and other reports and filings of Seller as may be required after the Closing and for other proper purposes approved by Buyer acting reasonably and in good faith.

2.7 Further Assurances. Seller from time to time after the Closing at the request of Buyer (acting reasonably and in good faith) and without further consideration shall execute and deliver further instruments of transfer and assignment (in addition to those delivered under Sections 2.5 and 2.6), and take such other action as Buyer may reasonably require to more effectively transfer and assign to, and vest in, Buyer each of the Subject Assets and to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Parent from time to time after the Closing at the request of Seller (acting reasonably and in good faith) and without further consideration shall execute and deliver further instruments of assumption (in addition to those delivered under

Section 2.6), and take such other action as Seller may reasonably require to more effectively evidence the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities and to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. To the extent that the assignment of any lease, contract, commitment or right shall require the consent of other parties thereto, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment thereof; however, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable, good faith efforts before and after the Closing to obtain any necessary consents or waivers required pursuant to the terms of such leases, contracts, commitments or rights. Nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to receive at the Closing an effective assignment of each of the leases, contracts, commitments or rights of Seller which constitute a portion of the Subject Assets.

2.8 Other Closing Deliveries.

(a) Seller Deliveries. In addition to those other deliveries required pursuant to this Article 2, Seller shall deliver to the Parent at the Closing:

2.9 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall represent payment for the Subject Assets at the prices shown on a memorandum to be jointly prepared and initialed by the parties and delivered at the Closing or as soon thereafter as required information is made available. The prices reflected in said memorandum shall represent fair market values of the Subject Assets at the Closing, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the parties hereto, and the parties hereto agree that they will not take a position inconsistent with such allocation for Federal income tax purposes.

2.10 Employees. As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to offer employment to any of those persons actively employed as of the Closing Date by Seller full time in the Businesses (the “Continuing Employees”) and as of the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate all of the Continuing Employees.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subsequent to the Closing, each of Buyer and Parent covenants and agrees to deliver on a weekly basis any notices, requests, invoices and the like with respect to accounts payable or trade payable that do not constitute Assumed Liabilities and any funds and any checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money, duly endorsed by Buyer and Parent, received by either Buyer or Parent comprising payment of any accounts, notes or other Seller Accounts Receivable or otherwise constituting part of the Excluded Assets.

If any party determines, with the advice of counsel, that it is required by applicable law to make this Agreement or any terms thereof public, it shall, consult with the other parties regarding such disclosure and seek confidential treatment for such terms or portions of this Agreement as may be requested by the other parties.

2.13 Certain Trademark Matters. Buyer, Parent and Seller are each aware that, according to the records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), the QVET Trademark (as hereinafter defined) was canceled effective July 13, 2003. As of the date hereof Seller has made application to refile the QVET Trademark with the USPTO and such application has been assigned the following serial number by the USPTO: Serial No. 78/159,605 (the “Application”). Seller covenants and agrees without further consideration to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the QVET Trademark to be reinstated and to prosecute the Application. The drafting, filing and prosecution of the Application and related documents shall be the responsibility of Seller, subject to an obligation by Seller to keep Buyer and Parent informed of all material developments with respect to the foregoing activities.

WHEREAS, PAC holds issued U.S. Patents Numbers: No. 5,128,104, No. 4,857,735 and No. 4,451,149 covering said invention together with its other intellectual property, in which all of the inventors’ rights, title and interest have been assigned to PAC’s predecessor and acquired by PAC;

WHEREAS, PAC represents to the best of its knowledge and belief that it is the owner of all rights, title and interest in said patent and other intellectual property and has the right and ability to grant the license hereinafter described;

WHEREAS, PAC is interested in licensing the LICENSED PRODUCT and thus benefiting the public and PAC by facilitating the dissemination of the results of its research in the form of useful LICENSED PRODUCTS for the human clinical and diagnostic markets only; and

WHEREAS, COMPANY desires to commercially develop, manufacture, use and distribute such LICENSED PRODUCTs for the human clinical and diagnostic markets throughout the world;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the faithful performance of the covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 The term “ACCOUNTING PERIOD” shall mean each three month period ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the term hereof.

A-1

1.2 The term “AFFILIATE” shall mean any corporation or other legal entity other than COMPANY in whatever country organized, controlling, controlled by or under common control with COMPANY.

The term “control” means possession, direct or indirect, of the powers to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

1.3 The term “HUMAN LICENSE FIELD” shall mean the human clinical and diagnostic markets worldwide, excluding entirely and absolutely any applications in the animal or veterinary clinical and diagnostic or other animal or veterinary applications as such terms shall be broadly defined.

1.4 The term “CO-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE FIELD shall mean all markets worldwide, excluding the HUMAN LICENSE FIELD and excluding entirely and absolutely any applications in the animal or veterinary clinical and diagnostic or other animal or veterinary applications as such terms shall be broadly defined. “LICENSE FIELDS” shall mean the HUMAN LICENSE FIELD and the CO-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE FIELD.

1.5 The term “FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE” shall mean in each country the first sale of any LICENSED PRODUCT by COMPANY, its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, (a) following approval, when such approval is necessary, of the marketing of such LICENSED PRODUCT by the appropriate governmental agency for the country in which the sale is to be made, or (b) when such government approval is not required in a country, the first sale of such LICENSED PRODUCT in that country.

1.6 The term “SUBLICENSEE” shall mean any non-AFFILIATE third party licensed by COMPANY or by an AFFILIATE to make, have made, use or sell any LICENSED PRODUCT.

1.7 The term “NET SALES PRICE” shall mean the GROSS SALES PRICE as defined in (b)-(d) below received or deemed received by COMPANY or any of its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES (“SELLERS”) for the sale or distribution of any LICENSED PRODUCT, less (to the extent appropriately documented) the following amounts actually paid out by COMPANY, its AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEE or credited against the amounts received by them from the sale or distribution of LICENSED PRODUCT:

(a) (i) credits and allowances for price adjustment, rejection, or return of LICENSED PRODUCTS previously sold;

(ii) rebates and cash discounts to purchasers allowed and taken;

(iii) amounts for transportation, insurance, handling or shipping charges paid for the account of and invoiced to purchasers;

A-2

(iv) taxes, duties and other governmental charges levied on or measured by the sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS, whether absorbed by COMPANY or paid by the purchaser so long as COMPANY’S price is reduced thereby, but not franchise or income taxes of any kind whatsoever;

(b) For any bona fide sale to a bona fide customer by COMPANY or any of its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, the GROSS SALES PRICE shall be the gross billing price of the LICENSED PRODUCT.

(c) If COMPANY or any of its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES sell any LICENSED PRODUCT in a bona fide sale as a component of a combination of active functional elements, the GROSS SALES PRICE of the LICENSED PRODUCT shall be determined by multiplying the GROSS SALES PRICE of the combination by the fraction A over A + B, in which “A” is the GROSS SALES PRICE of the LICENSED PRODUCT portion of the combination when sold separately during the ACCOUNTING PERIOD in the country in which the sale was made, and “B” is the GROSS SALES PRICE of the other active elements of the combination sold separately during said ACCOUNTING PERIOD in said country. In the event that no separate sale of either such LICENSED PRODUCT or active elements of the combination is made during said ACCOUNTING PERIOD in said country, the GROSS SALES PRICE of the LICENSED PRODUCT shall be determined by multiplying the GROSS SALES PRICE of such combination by the fraction C over C + D, in which “C” is the standard fully-absorbed cost of the LICENSED PRODUCT portion of such combination, and “D” is the sum of the standard fully-absorbed costs of the other active elements component(s), such costs being arrived at using the standard accounting procedures of COMPANY which will be in accord with generally accepted accounting practices.

(d) If a SELLER commercially uses or disposes of any LICENSED PRODUCT by itself (as opposed to a use or disposition of the LICENSED PRODUCT as a component of a combination of active functional elements) other than in a bona fide sale to a bona fide customer, the GROSS SALES PRICE hereunder shall be the price which would be then payable in an arm’s length transaction. If a SELLER commercially uses or disposes of any LICENSED PRODUCT as a component of a combination of active functional elements other than in a bona fide sale to a bona fide customer, the GROSS SALES PRICE of the LICENSED PRODUCT shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (c) above, using as the GROSS SALES PRICE of the combination that price which would be then payable in an arm’s length transaction.

(e) Transfer of a LICENSED PRODUCT within COMPANY or between COMPANY and an AFFILIATE for sale by the transferee shall not be considered a sale, commercial use or disposition for the purpose of the foregoing paragraphs; in the case of such transfer the GROSS SALES PRICE shall be based on sale of the LICENSED PRODUCT by the transferee.

1.8 The term “PATENT RIGHT” shall mean the U.S. Patents numbers 5,128,104, No. 4,857,735 and No. 4,451,149, or the equivalent of such patent, including any division, continuation or any foreign patent application or Letters Patent or the equivalent thereof issuing thereon or reissue, reexamination or extension thereof.

those claims in any continuation-in-part of the aforementioned patent which claim an invention described or claimed in-said patents.

1.9 The term “LICENSED PRODUCT” shall mean any article, device, composition, method or service, the manufacture, use, or sale of which

(a) absent the licenses granted herein, would infringe a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT, or

(b) does not infringe a VALID CLAIM of any PATENT RIGHT licensed to COMPANY hereunder but the discovery, development,—manufacture or use of which employs TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION.

1.10 The term “TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION” shall mean any research data, designs, formulas, process information, manufacturing information current vendor lists, clinical data and other information pertaining to any invention or other intellectual property claimed or utilized in the design, manufacture, use, or operation of the LICENSED PRODUCT on the EFFECTIVE DATE.

(b) to the extent an exclusive license is not available to COMPANY in a country, a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license in the HUMAN LICENSE FIELD under PATENT RIGHTS to make, have made, use and sell LICENSED PRODUCTS;

(c) the right to sublicense PATENT RIGHTS exclusively and/or coexclusively licensed to COMPANY in the HUMAN LICENSE FIELD and/or the CO-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE FIELD(but not to persons who conduct, or whose Affiliates conduct, any animal or veterinary clinical or diagnostic business without the express written consent of PAC); and

The above licenses to sell LICENSED PRODUCTS include the right to grant to the purchaser of LICENSED PRODUCTs from COMPANY, its AFFILIATES, and SUBLICENSEES the right to use such purchased LICENSED PRODUCTS in a method coming within the scope of PATENT RIGHT.

2.2 The granting of any license hereunder is subject to PAC’s right to make and to use and sell the subject matter described and claimed in PATENT RIGHT for all purposes and applications in the animal or veterinary markets or applications fields, which shall be broadly defined, and in the CO-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE FIELD.

2.3 Within three (3) months of EFFECTIVE DATE, upon request by COMPANY, PAC shall disclose to COMPANY, in confidence, TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION which COMPANY will be entitled to use to the extent such use does not infringe any patent not licensed to COMPANY hereunder.

2.4 PAC shall have the right to license any PATENT RIGHT to any other party for the purpose of manufacturing, using or selling of any LICENSED PRODUCT outside of the LICENSE FIELDS.

2.5 It is understood that nothing herein shall be construed to grant COMPANY a license express or implied under any patent owned solely or jointly by PAC other than the PATENT RIGHTS expressly licensed hereunder.

3. FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PATENT RIGHT

3.1 PAC shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent applications and patents included in PATENT RIGHTS.

Documents received from any patent office or counsel’s analysis thereof shall be provided promptly after receipt. For a document to be filed in any patent office, a draft of such document shall be provided sufficiently prior to its filing, to allow for review and comment by the other party. If as a result of the review of any such document, COMPANY shall elect not to pay or continue to pay the Costs for such PATENT RIGHT, COMPANY shall so notify PAC within thirty (30) days of COMPANY’s receipt of such document and COMPANY shall thereafter be relieved of the obligation to pay any additional Costs regarding such PATENT RIGHT incurred after the receipt of such notice by PAC. Such

A-5

U.S. or foreign patent application or patent shall thereupon cease to be a PATENT RIGHT hereunder and PAC shall be free to license its rights to that particular U.S. patent application or patent to any other party on any terms.

4. ROYALTIES

4.1 Beginning with the FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE in any country, on all sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS anywhere in the world by COMPANY, its AFFILIATES or SUBLICENSEES, COMPANY shall pay PAC royalties in accordance with the following schedule, such undertaking and schedule having been agreed to for the purpose of reflecting and advancing the mutual convenience of the parties. For each LICENSED PRODUCT sold by COMPANY or its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES:

Two percent (2%) of the NET SALES PRICE.

4.2 Only one royalty under paragraph 4.1 shall be due and payable to PAC by COMPANY for any LICENSED PRODUCT regardless of the number of PATENT RIGHTS covering such LICENSED PRODUCT.

4.3 In addition to the royalties provided for above, COMPANY shall pay PAC two percent ( 2 %) of any and all non-royalty income, including without limitation license fees and milestone payments, received from its AFFILIATES and sublicensees in consideration for the sublicensing of any right or license granted to COMPANY hereunder.

4.4 The payments due under this Agreement shall, if overdue, bear interest until payment at a per annum rate equal to one percent (1 %) above the Wall Street Journal prime rate in effect on the due date, not to exceed the maximum permitted by law. The payment of such interest shall not preclude PAC from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

5. REPORTS AND PAYMENTS

5.1 COMPANY shall keep, and shall cause each of its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES, if any, to keep full and accurate books of accounts containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating all royalties payable to PAC. Such books of account shall be kept at their principal place of business and, with all necessary supporting data shall, during all reasonable times for the three (3) years next following the end of the calendar year to which each shall pertain be open for inspection at reasonable times by PAC or its designee at PAC’s expense for the purpose of verifying royalty statements or compliance with this Agreement.

5.2 In each year the amount of royalty due shall be calculated annually as of the end of each ACCOUNTING PERIOD and shall be paid annually within the ninety (90) days next following such date, every such payment to be supported by the accounting prescribed in paragraph 5.3 and to be made in United States currency. Whenever conversion from any foreign currency shall be required, such conversion shall be at the rate of exchange thereafter published

A-6

in the Wall Street Journal for the business day closest to the end of the applicable ACCOUNTING PERIOD.

5.3 With each annual payment, COMPANY shall deliver to PAC a full and accurate accounting to include at least the following information:

(a) Quantity of each LICENSED PRODUCT sold or leased (by country) by COMPANY, and its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES;

(b) Total ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for each LICENSED PRODUCT (by country);

(d) Names and addresses of all SUBLICENSEES of COMPANY; and

(e) Total royalties payable to PAC.

6. INFRINGEMENT

6.1 PAC will protect its PATENT RIGHTS from infringement and prosecute infringers when, in its sole judgement, such action may be reasonably necessary, proper and justified.

6.2 If COMPANY shall have supplied PAC with written evidence demonstrating to PAC’s reasonable satisfaction prima facie infringement of a claim of a PATENT RIGHT by a third party in the LICENSE FIELDs, COMPANY may by notice request PAC to take steps to protect the PATENT RIGHT. PAC shall notify COMPANY within three (3) months of the receipt of such notice whether PAC intends to prosecute the alleged infringement. If PAC notifies COMPANY that it intends to so prosecute, PAC shall, within three (three) months of its notice to COMPANY either (i) cause infringement to terminate or (ii) initiate legal proceedings against the infringer. In the event PAC notifies COMPANY that PAC does not intend to prosecute said infringement COMPANY may, upon notice to PAC, initiate legal proceedings against the infringer at COMPANY’s expense and in PAC’s name if so required by law. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit which invalidates or restricts the claims of such PATENT RIGHTS may be entered into without the consent of PAC, which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld. COMPANY shall indemnify PAC against any order for payment that may be made against PAC in such proceedings.

6.3 In the event one party shall initiate or carry on legal proceedings to enforce any PATENT RIGHT against any alleged infringer in the LICENSE FIELDS, the other party shall fully cooperate with and supply all assistance reasonably requested by the party initiating or carrying on such proceedings. The party which institutes any suit to protect or enforce a PATENT RIGHT shall have sole control of that suit and shall bear the reasonable expenses (excluding legal fees) incurred by said other party in providing such assistance and cooperation as is requested pursuant to this paragraph. The party initiating or carrying on such legal

A-7

proceedings shall keep the other party informed of the progress of such proceedings and said other party shall be entitled to counsel in such proceedings but at its own expense. Any award paid by third parties as the result of such proceedings (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall first be applied to reimbursement of the unreimbursed legal fees and expenses incurred by either party and then the remainder shall be divided between the parties as follows:

(a) (i) If the amount is based on lost profits, COMPANY shall receive an amount equal to the damages the court determines COMPANY has suffered as a result of the infringement less the amount of any royalties that would have been due PAC on sales of LICENSED PRODUCT lost by COMPANY as a result of the infringement had COMPANY made such sales; and

(ii) PAC shall receive an amount equal to the royalties it would have received if such sales had been made by COMPANY; or

(b) As to awards other than those based on lost profits, sixty (60) percent to the party initiating such proceedings and forty (40) percent to the other ply.

6.4 For the purpose of the proceedings referred to in this Article 6, PAC and COMPANY shall permit the use of their names and shall execute such documents and carry out such other acts as may be necessary. The party initiating or carrying on such legal proceedings shall keep the other party informed of the progress of such proceedings and said other party shall be entitled to counsel in such proceedings but at its own expense, said expenses to be off-set against any damages received by the party bringing suit in accordance with the foregoing paragraph 6.3.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 (a) COMPANY shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless PAC and its directors, shareholders, officers, medical and professional staff, employees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitees or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments arising out of any theory of LICENSED PRODUCT liability (including, but not limited to, actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability) concerning any LICENSED PRODUCT, process or service made, used or sold pursuant to any right or license granted under this Agreement.

(b) COMPANY’s indemnification under (a) above shall not apply to any liability, damage, loss or expense to the extent that it is directly attributable to the negligent activities, reckless misconduct or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees.

(c) COMPANY agrees, at its own expense to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to PAC to defend against any actions brought or filed against any party indemnified hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.

A-8

(d) This paragraph 7.1 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

7.2 (a) At such time as any LICENSED PRODUCT, process or service relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by COMPANY or by a licensee, affiliate or agent of COMPANY, COMPANY shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts not less than $2,000,000 per incident and $2,000,000 annual aggregate and naming the Indemnitees as additional insureds. Such COMPANY liability insurance shall provide (i) LICENSED PRODUCT liability coverage and (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for COMPANY’s indemnification under paragraph 8.1 of this Agreement. If COMPANY elects to self-insure all or part of the limits described above (including deductibles or retentions which are in excess of $250,000 annual aggregate) such self-insurance program must be acceptable to PAC. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this paragraph 7.2 shall not be construed to create a limit of COMPANY’s liability with respect to its indemnification under paragraph 7.1 of this Agreement.

(b) COMPANY shall provide PAC with written evidence of such insurance upon request of PAC. COMPANY shall provide PAC with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance; if COMPANY does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, PAC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of such fifteen (15) day period without notice or any additional waiting periods.

7.3 OTHER THAN WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN, PAC MAKES NOT WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, SOFTWARE, TRADE SECRET, TANGIBLE RESEARCH PROPERTY, INFORMATION OR DATA LICENSED OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO COMPANY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE SAME.

8. PRODUCT PURCHASE RIGHTS

8.1 COMPANY may from time to time request PAC to manufacture and sell to COMPANY, on terms mutually acceptable to the Parties, LICENSED PRODUCTS, including parts, subsystems, consumables, and components thereof. Upon any such request, the Parties shall negotiate to determine whether they can agree on terms for such manufacture and sale. Absent such agreement, PAC shall have no obligation to manufacture and sell LICENSED PRODUCTS to COMPANY.

9. TERMINATION

A-9

9.1 If either party shall fail to faithfully perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the nondefaulting party may give written notice of the default to the defaulting party. Unless such default is corrected within ninety (90) days after such notice, the notifying party may terminate this Agreement and the license hereunder upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, provided that only one such ninety (90) day grace period shall be available in any twelve (12) month period with respect to a default of any particular provision hereunder. Thereafter notice of default of said provision shall constitute termination.

9.2 In the event that any license granted to COMPANY under this Agreement is terminated, any sublicense under such license granted prior to notice of default under Section 9.1 shall remain in full force and effect, provided that:

(i) the SUBLICENSEE is not then in breach of its sublicense agreement;

(ii) the SUBLICENSEE agrees to be bound to PAC as the licensor under the terms and conditions of this sublicense agreement, as modified by the provisions of this paragraph 9.2;

(iii) PAC shall have the right to receive the greater of (a) any payments payable to COMPANY under such sublicense agreement to the extent they are reasonably and equitably attributable to such SUBLICENSEE’s right under such sublicense to use and exploit PATENT RIGHTS and/or TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION or (b) the lowest royalty which is within the “Competitive” range as hereinafter defined, at the time PAC’s license to COMPANY is terminated. A royalty rate shall be regarded as “Competitive” if it is within the range of royalty rates that PAC would charge in an arms length transaction with a licensee taking into account the value of the licensed technology at the time PAC’s license to COMPANY is terminated;

(iv) PAC has the right to terminate such sublicense upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to COMPANY and such SUBLICENSEE in the event of any material breach of the obligation to make the payments described in clause (iii) of this paragraph 9.2, unless such breach is cured prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period;

(v) PAC shall not assume, and shall not be responsible to such SUBLICENSEE for, any representations, warranties or obligations of COMPANY to such SUBLICENSEE, other than to permit such SUBLICENSEE to exercise any rights to PATENT RIGHTS and TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION that are granted under such sublicense agreement consistent with the terms of this AGREEMENT.

9.3 Upon termination of any license granted hereunder COMPANY shall pay PAC all royalties due or accrued on (i) the sale of LICENSED PRODUCT up to and including the date of termination and (ii) for six (6) months following the date of termination, the sale of LICENSED PRODUCT manufactured prior to the termination date. After such six (6) months, COMPANY may no longer sell any LICENSED PRODUCTs.

It is further the intention of the parties that in lieu of each such provision which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, there be substituted or added as part of this Agreement a provision which shall be as similar as possible in economic and business objectives as intended by the parties to such invalid, illegal or enforceable provision, but shall be valid, legal and enforceable.

At the request of the Secured Party, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all remittances received by Debtor (other than with respect to Collateral subject to a Permitted Lien) shall be held in trust for the Secured Party and, in accordance with the Secured Party’s instructions, remitted to the Secured Party or deposited

E-5

into account(s) of the Secured Party in the form received (with any necessary endorsements or instruments of assignment or transfer). At the request of the Secured Party, upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Secured Party shall be entitled to (other than with respect to Collateral subject to a Permitted Lien) receive all distributions and payments of any nature with respect to any investment property or instruments, and all such distributions or payments received by the Debtor shall be held in trust for the Secured Party and, in accordance with the Secured Party’s instructions, remitted to the Secured Party or deposited into account(s) with the Secured Party in the form received (with any necessary endorsements or instruments of assignment or transfer).

The Secured Party agrees that, except upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney, or any rights granted to the Secured Party, pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv). The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Obligations have not been paid and performed in full. Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that the Secured Party shall lawfully and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 7.

SECTION 8 Events of Default. Any of the following events which shall occur and be continuing shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

E-6

(a) Debtor shall fail to pay when due any amount of principal of or interest on the Note or other amount payable hereunder or under the Note or any other Document or in respect of the Obligations.

(b) Any representation or warranty by Debtor in this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made.

(c) Debtor shall fail to perform or observe in any material respect any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, the Note or any other Document on its part to be performed or observed and any such failure shall remain unremedied for a period of 45 days from the occurrence thereof.

(d) An order of relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency laws has been entered against Debtor by a court having jurisdiction or Debtor admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency laws, consents to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it or the appointment of a receiver for itself or for all or substantially all of its property, or a petition in bankruptcy is filed against it or it makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

(e) Debtor shall (i) liquidate, wind up or dissolve (or suffer any liquidation, wind-up or dissolution), except to the extent expressly permitted by the Note, (ii) suspend its operations other than in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) take any action to authorize any of the actions or events set forth above in this subsection (e).

(f) Any levy upon, seizure or attachment of any of the Collateral which shall not have been rescinded or withdrawn within five (5) business days after notice of such seizure or attachment.

(g) Any loss, theft or substantial damage to, or destruction of, any material portion of the Collateral (unless within 30 days after the occurrence of any such event, Debtor furnishes to the Secured Party evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party that the amount of any such loss, theft, damage to or destruction of the Collateral is fully insured under policies naming the Secured Party (or with respect to Collateral subject to a Permitted Lien, the lienholder thereof) as an additional named insured or loss payee).

SECTION 9 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Secured Party may declare any of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable and shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, the Note or any other Document, all rights and remedies of the Secured Party under the UCC and other applicable laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Secured Party may peaceably and without notice enter any premises of Debtor, take possession of any the Collateral, remove or dispose of all or part of the Collateral on any premises of the Debtor or elsewhere, or, in the case of equipment, render it nonfunctional, and otherwise collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, and demand, give receipt for, settle, renew, extend,

E-7

exchange, compromise, adjust, or ▇▇▇ for all or any part of the Collateral, as the Secured Party may determine; (ii) the Secured Party may require the Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at any place and time designated by the Secured Party; (iii) the Secured Party may secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof (to the extent and in the manner provided by applicable law); (iv) the Secured Party may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, license, sublicense, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of Debtor’s assets, without charge or liability to the Secured Party therefor) at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit, or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, all as the Secured Party deems advisable; provided, however, that Debtor shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by the Secured Party. The Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption Debtor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by law. The Secured Party shall give Debtor such notice of any private or public sales as may be required by the UCC or other applicable law.

(b) For the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 9 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive and assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to Debtor) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property Collateral.

(c) The Secured Party shall not have any obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Secured Party has not obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them, and the Secured Party may release, modify or waive any Collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting the Secured Party’s rights against Debtor. Debtor waives any right it may have to require the Secured Party to pursue any third Person for any of the Obligations. The Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If the Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

(d) To the extent Debtor uses the proceeds of any of the Obligations to purchase Collateral, Debtor’s repayment of the Obligations shall apply on a “first-in, first-out” basis so

E-8

that the portion of the Obligations used to purchase a particular item of Collateral shall be paid in the chronological order the Debtor purchased the Collateral.

(e) The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of the Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied first, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Secured Party in exercising or enforcing its rights hereunder and in collecting or attempting to collect any of the Collateral, and to the payment of all other amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 13 hereof; and second, to the payment of the Obligations. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to Debtor or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law. Debtor shall remain liable to the Secured Party for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral.

SECTION 10 Certain Waivers. Debtor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations; (ii) any right to require the Secured Party (A) to proceed against any Person, (B) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations, or (C) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Collateral; and (iii) all claims, damages, and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral, other than claims for violations of law and willful misconduct.

SECTION 11 Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission or by email) and mailed, sent or delivered to the respective parties hereto at or to their respective addresses or facsimile numbers set forth below their names on the signature pages hereof, or at or to such other address or facsimile number as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be delivered when a record (within the meaning of the UCC) has been (i) delivered by hand; (ii) sent by mail upon the earlier of the date of receipt or five business days after deposit in the mail, first class (or air mail as to communications sent to or from the United States) or (iii) sent by facsimile transmission.

SECTION 12 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Secured Party.

SECTION 13 Costs and Expenses.

E-9

(a) Debtor agrees to pay on demand. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Secured Party, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Secured Party, in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of, and preservation of any rights or interests under, this Agreement and the Note, including in any out-of-court workout or other refinancing or restructuring or in any bankruptcy case, and the protection, sale or collection of, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including all expenses of taking, collecting, holding, sorting, handling, preparing for sale, selling, or the like, and other such expenses of sales and collections of Collateral, in addition to, and not limited by, this subsection (a).

(b) Any amounts payable to the Secured Party under this Section 13 or otherwise under this Agreement if not paid upon demand shall bear interest from the date of such demand until paid in full, at the rate of interest set forth in the Note.

SECTION 14 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Debtor, the Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns and shall bind any Person who becomes bound as a debtor to this Agreement. Debtor may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of the Secured Party. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by Debtor without the prior express written consent of the Secured Party shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that in connection with an assignment of, or grant of a participation in, the Obligations the Secured Party may assign, or grant participations in, all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder. Upon any assignment of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder, such assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, all rights of the Secured Party hereunder. Debtor agrees that, upon any such assignment, such assignee may enforce directly, without joinder of the Secured Party, the rights of the Secured Party set forth in this Agreement. Any such assignee shall be entitled to enforce the Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were the original secured party named herein.

SECTION 15 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or the remedies hereunder, in respect of any Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than New York.
