In order to ensure the Company's ability to develop an effective
distribution and product support system for the Products within the Territory,
and in order to ensure the quality of the Products and their reputation within
the Territory, the Distributor shall purchase Products only from the Company and
not from any other source. For its part, the Company will use all commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the Products that its sells to the Distributor
are of the best quality, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

business within the Territory that are all sufficient, in the commercially
reasonable judgment of the parties, to display, store, and service the Products.

sufficient, in the commercially reasonable judgment of the parties, reasonably

5.1 All sales of the Products to the Distributor shall be governed
by the Company's written pricing policies, credit policy, price lists, discount
schedules, and terms and conditions of sale specified in Schedule C. Prices for
the Products shall be based on the "Distributor Price List" set out in Schedule
C.I, subject to review by the parties in December of each year (commencing in
January 1, 2008) during the term of this Agreement, and any agreed modified
prices shall be effective for the following calendar year. In reviewing such
prices, the parties agree that such prices shall be negotiated and reviewed
based on the principle of commercial fairness.
5.2 Prices stated in the Distributor Price List shall apply only to
Products with standard specifications. At the Distributor's request, the Company
at its option may provide the Distributor with price quotations on Products
having special or modified specifications and any such quotations shall only be
binding with respect to the specific Product and sale to which such a quotation
relates.

in writing by a duly authorized representative of the Company, or on the
Distributor unless issued in writing signed by a duly authorized representative
of the Distributor (listed in Schedule E). Any provision contained in any
purchase order issued by the Distributor to the Company which is additional to,
or inconsistent or conflicting with, any provision of this Agreement shall not
be binding on the Company unless the Company assents to such provision in
writing.
5.4 Although the Distributor may now have or hereafter acquire other
outlets or branches, or change the location of any of them, nothing herein shall
obligate the Company to sell or ship the Products on orders accepted by the
Company to any location outside of the Territory. The Company's responsibility

adequately packaged Products to the transportation company, and any claims for
shortages, losses or damage occurring thereafter shall be made by the

the Distributor's failure promptly to accept delivery of or pay for such
Products.
5.6 The Company shall not be liable to the Distributor for any
injury, loss, damage or expense, whether direct, indirect or consequential,
resulting from or arising out of delays in delivery resulting from delays in
manufacture due to acts of God, and reasonably unforeseeable acts of government.
The time for delivery specified in any quotation or contract shall be extended
during the continuance of such conditions and for a reasonable time thereafter.
If a shortage of supply is so pervasive as to effectively prevent the
Distributor from meeting minimum purchase requirements through purchase of any
reasonable combination of Products, the time period for meeting such minimum
purchase requirements will be extended until the shortage ends
6. Minimum Purchase Requirements

forth in Schedule D. Failure to meet the purchase requirements as per the

review and approve all proposed protocols for such clinical trials and the
Distributor shall not utilize any protocol until approved by the Company. The

be monitored by the Distributor and the cost of such clinical trials will be
borne solely by the Distributor.

the Company or to such third party as the Company shall designate.

the Products in the Territory within a reasonable time (which, depending upon
markets, will be in the range of a minimum of 3 months, and a maximum of 12
months after all the information necessary to obtain such approvals is available
to the Distributor) shall be just cause for immediate termination of the
Agreement by the Company.
