a. Independent Contractor. The relationship of the parties hereunder shall be that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, or similar relationship between the parties, and no party shall be deemed to be an agent of the other party. Biochrom shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GE Healthcare from and against any and all claims by Biochrom employees, contractors, or subcontractors regarding entitlement to any compensation or benefits from GE Healthcare or that GE Healthcare was for any purpose their employer or co-employer, including any claim for taxes or related penalties.

b. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for International Sales of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.

c. Force Majeure. Any delay or failure of Biochrom to perform its obligations hereunder shall be excused if and to the extent that it was caused by an event or occurrence beyond Biochrom’s reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, such as, by way of example and not by way of limitation, acts of God, actions by any government authority (whether valid or invalid), strike or labor stoppage, transportation or shipping embargo, fires, floods, windstorms, explosions, riots, natural disasters, wars, sabotage, acts of terrorism, or court injunction or order; provided that written notice of such delay (including the anticipated duration of the delay) shall be given by Biochrom to GE Healthcare within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event. During the period of such delay or failure to perform by Biochrom, GE Healthcare may acquire substitute or replacement items from one or more alternative sources, and in such event, there may be a proportionate reduction of the quantity of Products required from Biochrom. If the delay lasts more than ninety (90) days or if Biochrom does not provide adequate assurances that the delay will cease within ninety (90) days, GE Healthcare may terminate this Agreement and any applicable Purchase Orders and any funds pre-paid by GE Healthcare shall be promptly returned.

d. Assignment. [***]

e. Publicity. Biochrom shall not issue any press release or announcement, use any of GE Healthcare’s products or its name or trademarks in promotional activity, or otherwise publicly announce or comment on this Agreement without GE Healthcare’s prior written consent.

(“HBIO”) will be required to file this Agreement with the SEC as a Material Agreement upon execution and will be required under SEC rules to disclose certain details of the terms of the Agreement in its filings with the SEC. HBIO agrees to use its best efforts to request confidential treatment be afforded by the SEC for those sections of this Agreement that would, if made public, be detrimental to either parties’ operations.

f. Amendment; Waiver; Survival. This Agreement may be modified only by a writing signed by both parties. Any failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of that provision or of either party’s right to later enforce each and every provision.

GE Healthcare Proprietary and Confidential

A Message from GE Healthcare

General Electric Company and its GE Healthcare business (“GE”) are committed to unyielding Integrity and high standards of business conduct in everything we do, especially in our dealings with our suppliers, service providers and consultants (collectively “suppliers”). Integrity is the foundation upon which we build our business success — our quality products and services, our forthright relations with customers and suppliers and, ultimately, our winning record. GE’s quest for excellence begins and ends with our commitment to ethical conduct.

GE bases supplier relationships on lawful, efficient and fair practices, and expects its suppliers to adhere to applicable legal requirements in their business relationships, including those with their employees, with their local communities and with GE. The quality of our supplier relationships often has a direct bearing on the quality of our customer relationships. Likewise, the quality of our suppliers’ products and services affects the quality of our own products and services.

To help GE suppliers understand the GE commitment to unyielding Integrity and the standards of business conduct that all GE suppliers must meet, GE has prepared this Integrity Guide for Suppliers, Service Providers and Consultants. The Guide is divided into four sections:

• GE Code of Conduct

• GE Compliance Obligations

• Responsibilities of GE Suppliers

• How to Raise an Integrity Concern

Suppliers should carefully review this Guide, especially the section, Responsibilities of GE Suppliers. Suppliers are responsible for ensuring that they and their employees and representatives comply with the standards of conduct required of GE suppliers. Please contact the GE manager you work with or any GE Compliance Resource if you have any questions about this Guide or the standards of conduct required of GE suppliers.

GE Code of Conduct

GE’s commitment to total, unyielding Integrity is set forth in GE’s Compliance Handbook, Integrity: The Spirit and The Letter of Our Commitment (the “Spirit & Letter”). The policies set forth in the Spirit & Letter govern the conduct of all GE employees and are supplemented by compliance procedures and guidelines adopted by GE components. All GE employees must comply not only with the “letter” of the Company’s compliance policies, but also with their “spirit.”

The “spirit” of GE’s Integrity commitment is set forth in the GE Code of Conduct, which each GE employee has made a personal commitment to follow:

• Obey applicable laws and regulations governing our business conduct worldwide.

• Be honest, fair and trustworthy in all of your GE activities and relationships.

• Avoid all conflicts of interest between work and personal affairs.

• Foster an atmosphere in which equal opportunity extends to every member of the diverse GE community.

• Strive to create a safe workplace and to protect the environment.

• Through leadership at all levels, sustain a culture where ethical conduct is recognized, valued and exemplified by all employees.

At GE, nothing – not customer service, competitiveness, direct orders from a

supervisor or “making the numbers” – is more important than Integrity.

GE Compliance Obligations

All GE employees are obligated to comply with the requirements— the “letter”— of GE’s compliance policies set forth in the Spirit & Letter. These policies implement the GE Code of Conduct and are supplemented by compliance procedures and guidelines adopted by GE businesses. A summary of some of the key compliance obligations of GE employees follows:

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

• Financial, business, or other non-work related activities must be lawful and free of conflicts with one’s responsibilities to GE.

• All personal or family relationships, including those of significant others, with current or prospective suppliers you select, manage or evaluate, must be reported to GE management.

• GE equipment, information or other property must not be used to conduct personal or non-GE business without prior permission from GE management.

IMPROPER PAYMENTS

• GE employees must always adhere to the highest standards of honesty and integrity in all contacts on behalf of GE. They must never offer bribes, kickbacks, illegal political contributions or other improper payments to any customer, government official or third party. They must follow the laws of the United States and other countries relating to these matters.

• GE employees must not give significant gifts or provide any extravagant entertainment to a customer or supplier without prior GE management approval. They must make sure all business entertainment and gifts are lawful and disclosed to the other party’s employer.

• They must employ only reputable people and firms as GE representatives and understand and obey any requirements governing the use of third party representatives.

SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS

• GE employees must only utilize suppliers that comply with applicable legal requirements in their business relationships, including those with their employees, their local environments and with GE.

• GE employees must follow applicable laws and government regulations covering supplier relationships.

• GE employees must provide a competitive opportunity for suppliers to earn a share of GE’s purchasing volume, including small businesses and businesses owned by the disadvantaged, minorities and women.

COMPLYING WITH COMPETITION LAWS

• GE employees must never propose or enter into any agreement with a GE competitor to fix prices, terms and conditions of sale, costs, profit margins, or other aspects of the competitive process.

• GE employees must not propose or enter into any agreements or understandings with GE customers restricting resale prices.

FOLLOWING INTERNATIONAL TRADE CONTROLS

• GE employees must understand and follow applicable international trade control and customs laws and regulations, including those in the Integrity Guide for Suppliers, Service Providers, and Consultants relating to licensing, shipping and import documentation and reporting and record retention requirements.

• GE employees must never participate in boycotts or other restrictive trade practices sanctioned under U.S. law.

• GE employees must make sure all transactions are screened in accordance with applicable export/import requirements; and that any apparent conflict between U.S. and applicable local law requirements is promptly disclosed to GE counsel.

INSIDER TRADING OR DEALING & STOCK TIPPING

• GE employees must never buy, sell or suggest to someone else that they should buy or sell stock or other securities of any company (including GE) while aware of significant or material nonpublic information (inside information) about that company. Information is significant or material when it is likely that an ordinary investor would consider the information important in making an investment decision.

• GE employees must not pass on or disclose inside information unless necessary for the conduct of GE business — and never pass on or disclose such information if he or she suspects that the information will be used for an improper trading purpose. GE employees must always try to avoid inadvertent disclosures of material non-public information.

FINANCIAL CONTROLS AND RECORDS

• GE employees must keep and report all GE records, including any time records, in an accurate, timely, complete, and confidential manner. GE employees may not release GE records to third parties unless authorized by GE management.

• GE employees must cooperate with GE’s auditors and give them full access to any records you maintain reflecting GE transactions and business activities.

• Financial statements and reports prepared for or on behalf of GE (including any component) must fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and/or other financial data for the periods and/or the dates specified.

FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

• GE employees must extend equal opportunity, fair treatment and a harassment free work environment to all employees, co-workers, consultants and other business associates without regard to their race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, veteran status or other characteristic protected by law.

ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY

• GE employees must learn how to conduct their activities in compliance with all applicable environmental and worker health and safety laws and regulations and conduct their activities accordingly.

• They must ensure that all new product designs or changes or services offerings are reviewed for compliance with GE guidelines.

• GE employees must use care in handling hazardous materials or operating processes or equipment that use hazardous materials to pre-vent unplanned releases into the workplace or the environment.

• GE employees must report to GE management all spills of hazardous materials; any concern that GE products are unsafe; and any potential violation of environmental, health or safety laws, regulations or company practices or requests to violate established EHS procedures.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

• GE employees must identify and protect commercially significant GE intellectual property.

• GE employees must respect valid patents, copyrighted materials and other protected intellectual property of others.

PRIVACY

• GE employees must comply with all applicable consumer and other data protection laws, regulations and treaties.

• GE employees must provide individual consumers with reasonable notices in compliance with local law.

MONEY LAUNDERING PREVENTION

• GE employees must comply with all applicable laws that prohibit money laundering and that require the reporting of cash or other suspicious transactions.

• They must follow their business’ “Know Your Customer” procedure and obtain adequate information about prospective customers, joint venture partners and affiliates to demonstrate that they are involved in legitimate business activities and that their funds come from legitimate sources.

• They must follow their business’ rules on acceptable forms of payment.

• Learn to identify and carefully watch for warning signs that may indicate money laundering or other illegal activities or violations of GE policies.

Integrity Guide for Suppliers, Service Providers, and Consultants

Responsibilities of GE Suppliers

GE will only do business with suppliers that comply with all applicable legal requirements as well as applicable GE Policy requirements (The Spirit and the Letter of Our Commitment), including those relating to labor, environment, health and safety, intellectual property rights and improper payments. Accordingly, suppliers that transact business with GE Healthcare are expected to adhere to standards of business conduct consistent with those described in this section of the Guide. Your commitment to full compliance with these standards is the foundation of a mutually beneficial business relationship with GE Healthcare.

In addition to supplier compliance with its contractual obligations under any purchase order or agreement with GE, GE requires and expects that each GE supplier shall comply with all applicable legal requirements and GE Policy requirements. GE also requires that its supplier ensure that their sub-tier-suppliers similarly comply with the same legal requirements and GE policy. These requirements include (but are not limited to):

• Code of Conduct. Maintaining and enforcing written company policies requiring adherence to lawful business practices, including a prohibition against bribery of government officials.

• Minimum Age. Employing workers above any applicable minimum age requirement.

• Forced Labor. Not using forced, prison or indentured labor, or workers subject to any form of compulsion or coercion.

• Environmental Compliance. Commitment to observing applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Actions that GE will consider evidence of a commitment to observing applicable environmental laws and regulations include:

— maintaining and enforcing written and comprehensive environmental management programs which are subject to periodic audit;

— continuing compliance with all required environmental permits; and

— strictly not permitting any discharge to the environment in violation of law, issued/required permits, or that would otherwise have an adverse impact on the environment.

• Health & Safety. Providing workers with a workplace that complies with applicable health and safety standards as well as appropriate living conditions.

• Business Practices and Dealings with GE. Suppliers may NOT offer or provide, directly or indirectly, anything of value, including cash, bribes or kickbacks, to any GE employee, representative or customer or government official in connection with any GE procurement, transaction or business dealing. Such prohibition includes the offering or providing of any consulting, employment or similar position by a supplier to any GE employee (or their family member or significant other) involved with a GE procurement. GE also requires that a GE supplier NOT offer or provide GE employees and representatives with any gifts, other than gifts of nominal value to commemorate or recognize a particular GE-supplier business transaction or activity. In particular, a GE supplier shall not offer, invite or permit GE employees and representatives to participate in any supplier or supplier-sponsored contest, game or promotion.

• Business Entertainment of GE Employees and Representatives. Suppliers must respect and comply with the business entertainment (including travel and living) policies established by GE and which govern GE employees and representatives. A GE supplier is expected to understand the business entertainment policies of the applicable GE component or operation before offering or providing any GE employee or representative any business entertainment. Business entertainment should never be offered to a GE employee and representative by a supplier under circumstances that create the appearance of an impropriety.

• Collusive Conduct and GE Procurements. Adhering to all applicable competition laws. They must avoid prohibited communications or entering into agreements with competitors that can affect competition. Specifically, they may not share or exchange any price, cost or other competitive information or undertake any other collusive conduct with any other third party supplier or bidder to GE with respect to any proposed, pending or current GE procurement. Suppliers must be mindful to avoid even the appearance of improper conduct.

• Intellectual & Other Property Rights. Respecting the intellectual and other property rights of others, especially GE. In that regard, a GE supplier shall:

Integrity Guide for Suppliers, Service Providers, and Consultants

Page 3 of 5                                             19 July 2005

— only use GE information and property (including tools, drawings and specifications) for the purpose for which they are provided to the supplier and for no other purposes.

— take appropriate steps to safeguard and maintain the confidentiality of GE proprietary information, including maintaining it in confidence and in secure work areas and not disclosing it to third parties (including other customers, subcontractors, etc.) without the prior written permission of GE.

— only transmit GE information over the Internet on an encrypted basis.

— observe and respect all GE patents, trademarks and copyrights and comply with such restrictions or prohibitions on their use as GE may from time to time establish.

• Export and International Trade Controls & Customs Matters. GE and its affiliates are subject to numerous United States Trade and Export Controls. Any export of services, technology (including technical information) or financial transactions with individuals or entities sanctioned by the U.S. government may be subject to U.S. Export and Trade Controls or other applicable laws. Suppliers should familiarize themselves with requirements applicable to GE and its affiliates with respect to services performed for GE and may not transfer GE technical information to any third party without the express, written permission of GE. Suppliers must comply with all applicable export controls laws and regulations in the export or re-export of GE technical information, including any restrictions on access and use applicable to non-U.S. nationals, and must ensure that all invoices and any customs or similar documentation submitted to GE or governmental authorities in connection with transactions involving GE accurately describe the goods and services provided or delivered and the price thereof. Suppliers may not participate in any boycotts or restrictive trade practices prohibited by U.S. laws.

• Privacy. Complying with privacy and data protection laws with respect to data and personal information of GE customers, employees and other suppliers.

• Money Laundering Prevention. Complying with applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations and GE policies established for money laundering prevention. In that regard, suppliers shall:

1. Implement due diligence standards and processes in writing in order to obtain sufficient information about GE customers, borrowers, as well as third parties.

2. Designate acceptable form of payment and assume that payments collected on behalf of GE come from legitimate and legal sources in accordance with GE Source of Funds policies.

3. Develop acceptable processes to ensure that suspicious activity of any borrower or other third party is reported to GE and, if required, to proper government authorities.

• Prohibition of Use of Sub-Tier Suppliers or Third Parties to Evade Requirements. The use of sub-tier suppliers or other third parties to evade legal requirements applicable to the supplier and any of the standards set forth in this Section of the Guide is not permitted.

The foregoing standards are subject to modification at the discretion of GE. Please contact the GE manager you work with or any GE Compliance Resource if you have any questions about these standards and/or their application to particular circumstances. Each GE supplier is responsible for ensuring that the supplier, its employees, representatives and sub-tier suppliers understand and comply with these standards. GE will only do business with those suppliers that comply with applicable legal requirements and reserves the right, based on its assessment of information then available to GE, to terminate, without liability to GE, any pending purchase order or contract with any supplier that does not comply with the standards set forth in this section of the Guide.

How to Raise an Integrity Concern

Each GE supplier is expected to promptly inform GE of any Integrity concern involving GE, whether or not the concern involves the supplier, as soon as the supplier has knowledge of such Integrity concern. A GE supplier shall also take such steps as GE may reasonably request to assist GE in the investigation of any Integrity concern involving GE or its employees and the supplier. An Integrity concern may be raised by a GE supplier with cognizant GE management, GE or GE Healthcare Helplines, or any GE Compliance Resource (i.e., Company legal counsel or auditor).

I. Define your concern: Who or what is the concern? When did it arise? What are the relevant facts?

II. Raise the concern – prompt reporting is crucial:

• Discuss with a GE Healthcare Manager

• A GE or GE Healthcare Compliance Resource will promptly review and investigate the concern.

III. GE Policy forbids retaliation against any person reporting an Integrity concern

GE’s quest for competitive excellence begins and ends with our commitment to ethical conduct.

OEM Addendum

This OEM Purchase Addendum (this “Addendum”), effective as of the date of last signature affixed below (“Effective Date”), is made by and between the General Electric Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the state of New York, acting through its GE Healthcare business (“GE Healthcare”), and Biochrom Limited (“Biochrom”).

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

2. General. This Addendum specifies additional terms and conditions under which Biochrom will sell, license and support the Products. The Products are regarded as “Original Equipment Manufacturer” products that will be sold separately or incorporated into other GE Healthcare products for resale in the Territory under GE Healthcare’s private label. The Products and the GE Healthcare products with which the Product may be incorporated will be marketed, sold, serviced, and supported by GE Healthcare’s field organization and channel partners, subject to the marketing, sales, service, and support obligations of Biochrom under this Addendum and the Agreement. In the event of conflict between this Addendum and any other terms or conditions of the Agreement or any Attachment thereto, the Agreement shall control.

3. Marketing Rights Warranty. Biochrom warrants that it has the unrestricted right to manufacture, sell, service, market, and deliver to GE Healthcare in the Territory the Products, including any replacement parts, components or sub-assemblies for the Products. Further, Biochrom hereby warrants that it is under no restriction, and that it will not assume or assert any such restriction, which would prevent GE Healthcare and its affiliates from marketing the Products anywhere in the Territory.

4. Private Labeling. Biochrom will ensure that the Products contain the GE Healthcare Marks (as such term is later defined herein), lot number and packaging specified by GE Healthcare and conforming to GE Healthcare specifications for external appearance (which will not require any material change in form or dimensions of the Products or require commercially unreasonable actions). Except as provided herein, Supplier will have no other right or license in any GE Healthcare Marks. Private labeling of the Products shall include but shall not be limited to: (1) manuals with the GE Healthcare format, logo and font; (2) GE Healthcare logos in all user interface and screens; (3) GE Healthcare logo for the main system rating / ID plate; and (4) “Made for GE Healthcare” labels on all components with a rating/ID plate.

5. Country of Origin Marking. Biochrom will mark each Product, or the container if there is no room on the Product, with the country of origin. Biochrom will, in marking Products, comply with the requirements of the customs authorities of the country of receipt.

6. Documentation License. Biochrom hereby grants GE Healthcare a non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully paid up license to use, reproduce, distribute and prepare derivative works in GE Healthcare’s name all documentation and other information related to the Products prepared by Biochrom, other than Confidential Information, furnished by Biochrom under the Agreement. GE Healthcare has the right to use or modify Biochrom’s Product documentation or excerpts therefrom, for instance as follows: Functional description, Instruction sheet and

product labels, Operators aids, Promotion information, and Product/Function description. Biochrom shall provide GE Healthcare with this Product documentation free of charge both as a print version and on data media in readable form. These rights with respect to such documentation will extend to GE Healthcare and its affiliates, distributors, sub-distributors, field organization, channel partners, and customers or users of the Products or GE Healthcare products incorporating the Products (“Eligible Persons”). GE Healthcare may reproduce such documentation without Biochrom’s logo or other identification of source, subject to affixing copyright notices to all copies of documentation.

7. No Rights In Marks. Except as otherwise specified in the private labeling section above, nothing in the Agreement or this Addendum should be construed to grant either party any rights in the trademarks, trade names or service marks of the other party. Biochrom acknowledges, however, that GE Healthcare may use the name of the Products in advertising and marketing the Products or any GE Healthcare product that incorporates the Product. In addition, GE Healthcare will be able to use Biochrom’s trademarks on GE Healthcare’s website and for use with any documentation or marketing materials for the Product. The Products will be affixed with copyright notices sufficient to give notice as to the rights of the parties in their respective products.

8. Software/Firmware. The price for any Products purchased under the Agreement includes a perpetual, paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable license to GE Healthcare and Eligible Persons to distribute, copy, have copied, license, sub-license and use in the marketing, distribution, sale, operation, support, maintenance and repair of the Products, any software and/or firmware supplied by Biochrom to GE Healthcare or incorporated into, or included or bundled with, the Product, including updates to such software or firmware. Biochrom hereby grants to GE Healthcare all sublicense rights required to market and sell the Products in accordance with the Agreement. All rights granted hereunder shall survive any termination of the Agreement as long as the applicable party remains in compliance with the terms of use for such Products. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as a sale of any rights in the software. Biochrom shall promptly make available to GE Healthcare (and at least simultaneously to the time it makes similar updates available to other customers or distributors of its products that use similar software or firmware) all updates relating to such software or firmware, including detailed descriptions and installation instructions.

9. [***]

10. [***]

11. Duty To Remove Marks Or Destroy Noncomplying Products. Biochrom agrees not to sell, transfer, distribute, or otherwise convey any part, component, Product or service bearing or incorporating any GE Healthcare trademark, trade name or service mark, part numbers or other identifiers, including any GE Healthcare packaging, copyrights or code (“GE Healthcare Marks”), to any party other than to GE Healthcare or any affiliate of GE Healthcare. Biochrom will remove from all rejected, returned or unpurchased Products, which are not intended to be returned to GE Healthcare any such GE Healthcare Marks, even if such removal would require destruction of the Products. Biochrom further agrees not to represent that such Products are built for GE Healthcare or to GE Healthcare specifications. Biochrom will defend and indemnify GE Healthcare against any claims, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses that GE Healthcare may incur as a result of Biochrom’s breach of this obligation.

12. [***]

13. [***]

14. Training. GE Healthcare maintains the right to train its service organization with respect to installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the Products, as deemed appropriate by GE Healthcare, while maintaining full warranty benefits provided by Biochrom. This in no way obligates Biochrom to warranty instruments damaged by GE Healthcare personnel.

15. [***]

16. Product Certification.

(i) Biochrom shall manufacture the Products in strict conformance with all agreed applicable requirements, such as CE Marking, UL, IEC, CSA, MHLW, CCC, or equivalent applicable regulatory body, each as may be modified from time to time, and maintain the same at Biochrom’s sole expense. Unless agreed to otherwise in writing, if a party proposes a change in purchase specification, that party shall be responsible for any additional Product certification or regulatory approval costs that may be necessary. See the Compliance section of Attachment B.

(ii) Upon GE Healthcare’s request, Biochrom shall provide GE Healthcare, GE Healthcare’s notified body, or the appropriate regulatory authority, with a copy of all regulatory certification reports including, but not limited to, technical documentation (set up according to Annexes II.4, or III from EU Directives 90/385/CEE- 93/42/CEE; Annexe VII from Directive 93/42/CEE; the annexe from Directive 2003/32/CE; and Annexe III from Directive 98/79/CE). Biochrom shall also comply, at its own costs, with international quality standards ISO9001:2000 as may be modified from time to time.

17. Provision of Information by Biochrom. Biochrom shall, at the request of GE Healthcare, provide GE Healthcare with all relevant information on Product reliability and performance, at no cost to GE Healthcare.

18. Regulatory Approvals and other Governmental Registrations. Biochrom shall be solely responsible for identifying, obtaining, and maintaining at its sole cost and expense all applicable clearances and approvals that are required for the development, manufacture, or sale of any Product in the United States, Sweden and Japan, and Biochrom represents and warrants that it has obtained all such approvals for any Product existing as of the Effective Date. For countries Biochrom does not hold regulatory approvals for, test reports and all necessary data to meet the country specific regulatory requirements have to be prepared and made available to GE Healthcare on request, and GE Healthcare shall apply, in its name and at its cost, for all governmental registrations required for GE Healthcare to market Products during the Term as a distributor in such countries, unless the applicable laws of a particular country require that such registrations be obtained by and in the name of the manufacturer of the applicable product, in which event Biochrom shall apply for such approvals at GE Healthcare’s cost. Biochrom shall reasonably cooperate with GE Healthcare in its efforts to obtain such approvals. Biochrom agrees that GE Healthcare shall have access to all of Biochrom’s non-confidential regulatory submissions for the Products to the extent necessary to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations hereunder.

19. Complaint Handling. GE Healthcare will be responsible for the coordination of customer complaint investigations. As determined by GE Healthcare, Biochrom will investigate customer complaints at no charge and supply GE Healthcare with a written report summarizing the cause for the complaint and any corrective actions required within 14 days of receipt by Biochrom of such complaint, it being understood that, depending on the nature of the complaint and investigation, the initial (14-day) response may be limited in scope and then followed up by a complete response as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

20. Recalls and Field Corrections. In the event of any recall, product withdrawal or field correction of any Product that is required the parties agree that (a) they shall promptly notify each other and (b) they shall fully cooperate with each other concerning the necessity and nature of such action. GE Healthcare shall be the point of contact for purchasers of any Product (whether directly or through its distributors) and for coordination of any recall or field correction activities involving such Products. In the event that any Product requires field correction or is recalled as a result of (a) the supply by Biochrom of any Product not complying with the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including all representations, covenants, and warranties included in the Agreement) or (b) the negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission of Biochrom or its affiliates or their representatives, then Biochrom shall bear all costs and expenses, including but not limited to the costs and expenses related to such recall or field correction, communications and meetings with all required regulatory agencies, replacement stock, service labor, installation, travel, notifying customers of such recall and any replacement product to be delivered to those same customers, including shipping costs. To the extent that any such recall or field correction is due in part to the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of GE Healthcare, GE Healthcare shall be responsible for such costs and expenses equitably in proportion to its fault.

21. Third-Party Infringement. In the event there is infringement by a third party of any Biochrom patent for the Product (“Third Party Infringement”) and GE Healthcare becomes aware of such infringement, GE Healthcare may give Biochrom written notice to that effect, including with such written notice evidence establishing a prima facie case of infringement by such third party. Biochrom shall bear all expenses of any suit brought by it based upon such infringement and shall retain all damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit. If, after the expiration of ninety (90) days from the date of such notice, Biochrom has not obtained a discontinuance of such infringement or brought suit against the third party infringer, then the parties shall appoint by mutual agreement an attorney with at least 15 years experience in litigating patent infringement lawsuits in the United States, who is a partner at a law firm with a nationally recognized intellectual property practice and who has no prior relationship with either party (“Independent Patent Counsel”). Such Independent Patent Counsel shall evaluate the identified Third Party Infringement and advise the parties in writing by not later than 60 days after his or her appointment whether he or she believes there is a reasonable likelihood of success in pursuing a claim for the Third Party Infringement. The cost of Independent Patent Counsel shall be shared equally by the parties. If Independent Patent Counsel determines that there is a reasonable likelihood of success and by the 30^th day after such advice Biochrom has still not obtained a discontinuance of such infringement or brought suit against the third party infringer, then GE Healthcare shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such infringer. Biochrom will cooperate with GE Healthcare in any such suit for infringement brought by GE Healthcare against such third party, and shall have the right to consult with GE Healthcare and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. GE Healthcare shall bear all expenses of such suit, and shall retain any damages or other monies awarded or received in consequence of such litigation.
