The Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent the Indemnitor so desires jointly with any other indemnitor similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. The indemnity obligations under Section 3(f) and Section 4(k) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitor may not settle or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, that diminishes the rights or interests of the Indemnitee without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding covered by Section 3(f) or Section 4(k), as applicable.

Such sales reports are, and shall remain the property of FHC, and shall be subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, but may be used by Biosite solely for the purposes of performance of its obligations and the exercise of its rights under this Agreement. Such report shall be based on sales by FHC and its affiliates, as reflected on FHC’s Key Supplier Report, on each Product during each calendar month.

Biosite and its agents shall have the right, through an independent auditor chosen by Biosite and reasonably acceptable to FHC, on reasonable notice and not more than twice in each calendar year, to inspect and audit the relevant books and records of FHC and any of its relevant affiliates to verify the accuracy of such sales reports. Biosite shall pay the fees and expenses of such audit.
(j) Except as set forth below in this Section 5(j) or as the parties otherwise mutually agree, if the Actual Selling Price of any Product unit is less than the List Price of such Product [***], then for purposes of calculating ASMR and GSMR, and the amount of any rebate or additional payments under Section 5(g), the Actual Selling Price of such Product unit shall be deemed to be List Price of such Product [***].

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to Section 5(l), in the case where the [***] described in Schedule D (the “[***]”) is not purchased but is instead leased by a FHC or Biosite customer over the term of the customer’s written agreement (a “Reagent Rental Agreement”), the following shall apply: (1) the Transfer Price paid to Biosite by FHC for the [***] shall at all times during the course of this Agreement be [***]; (2) there shall be no GSMR with respect to such [***]; and (3) the provisions of Sections 5(e) and 5(f) shall not apply.
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the case where the [***] (as described in Schedule D) is not purchased but is instead leased by a FHC or Biosite customer over the term of the customer’s written agreement (a “Reagent Rental Agreement”), the following shall apply: (1) the Transfer Price paid to Biosite by FHC for the [***] shall at all times during the course of this Agreement be [***]; (2) there shall be no GSMR with respect to such [***]; and (3) the provisions of Sections 5(e) and 5(f) shall not apply.
(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Biosite shall pay to FHC [***] for any [***] or [***] under any and all Reagent Rental Agreements (as more particularly described in Sections 5(k) and 5(l) above) obtained pursuant to this Agreement or the 2001 Distribution Agreement. For example, if a [***] is amortized at a rate of [***] over a 24 month Reagent Rental Agreement and the customer pays this amount monthly together with (or as a part of) its purchase of reagents or controls, if the Agreement expires or is terminated with 12 months remaining under the term of the Reagent Rental Agreement, then Biosite shall pay to FHC [***].
(n) The parties contemplate that there will be instances where instruments manufactured by a third party and used with the [***] (as defined in Section 1(h)) shall be distributed through Biosite into the Territory. In such event, FHC shall reimburse

Biosite the following percentage of Biosite’s Acquisition Cost (as defined below) for each such instrument during [***]:
Hospitals with [***] |
|
[***] of Acquisition Cost |
|
|
|
Hospitals with [***] |
|
[***] of Acquisition Cost |
For purposes of this Section 5(n), “Acquisition Cost” shall mean the invoiced sales price for the applicable third party instrument net of any discounts or rebates. All such invoices paid by Biosite shall be subject to Section 3(j). With respect to each instrument so distributed, FHC shall reimburse Biosite for such Acquisition Cost on a monthly basis (payable prior to the last day of the month after the date of Biosite’s invoice), with each monthly payment being the result of the Acquisition Cost divided by the number of months in the term of the customer agreement to which the instrument is subject. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5(n), in no event shall any such payment be due after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
(o) As of January 31, 2004, FHC shall determine the mix of Products (on a unit basis) excluding [***] and [***] (as defined in Sections [***]) sold into hospitals (as “hospitals” is defined for the purposes of GSMR) with less than [***] beds (the “Small Hospital Market”) and [***] beds or more (the “Large Hospital Market”). The mix percentages as calculated in the immediately preceding sentence shall be multiplied by each of the GSMR under the 2001 Distribution Agreement, with such numbers then aggregated (the “2001 Mix Percentage”) and under this Agreement, with such numbers then aggregated (the “2004(A) Mix Percentage”). The difference between the 2001 Mix Percentage and the 2004(A) Mix Percentage shall be multiplied by the January 2004 Customer Sales Amount (as defined below) and the resulting amount shall be split evenly between the parties, and shall be paid by FHC to Biosite in accordance with the payment terms outlined in Section 5(i). FHC shall determine the January 2004 Customer Sales Amount for each Product by using the following formula:
(Actual Selling Price of each Product invoiced by FHC in January 2004/number of units invoiced by FHC in January 2004) X Number of units in FHC inventory as of December 31, 2003
This calculation shall be done for each Product category individually and such numbers shall be aggregated to create the 2004 Customer Sales Amount.
For example, if the mix of Products sold into the Small Hospital Market and the Large Hospital Market is 60% and 40% respectively, as of January 31, 2004, the 2001 Mix Percentage would be [***]% (determined as follows: ((60% [***] [***]%) + (40% [***] [***]%)) and the 2004(A) Mix Percentage would be [***]% (determined as follows ((60% [***] [***]%) + (40% [***] [***]%)). The difference between the 2001 Mix Percentage and the 2004(A) Mix Percentage is [***]%. If the 2004 Customer Sales Amount is $1,000,000.00, then the parties shall split [***]. These provisions shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, Sections 5(g) and 5(h).

(p) As of January 31, 2005, FHC shall determine the mix of Products (on a unit basis) excluding [***] and [***] sold into the Small Hospital Market and the Large Hospital Market. The mix percentages as calculated in the immediately preceding sentence shall be multiplied by each of the GSMR under [***] of this Agreement, with such numbers then aggregated (the “[***] Mix Percentage”) and under [***] of this Agreement, with such numbers then aggregated (the “[***] Mix Percentage”). The difference between the [***] Mix Percentage and the [***] Mix Percentage shall be multiplied by the [***] Customer Sales Amount (as defined below) and the resulting amount shall be split evenly between the parties, and shall be paid by FHC to Biosite in accordance with the payment terms outlined in Section 5(i). FHC shall determine the [***] Customer Sales Amount for each Product by using the following formula:
(Actual Selling Price of each Product invoiced by FHC in [***]/number of units invoiced by FHC in [***]) X Number of units in FHC inventory as of [***]
This calculation shall be done for each Product category individually and such numbers shall be aggregated to create the [***] Customer Sales Amount.
For example, if the mix of Products sold into the Small Hospital Market and the Large Hospital Market is 60% and 40% respectively, as of [***], the [***] Mix Percentage would be [***]% (determined as follows: ((60% [***] [***]%) + (40% [***] [***]%)) and the [***] Mix Percentage would be [***]% (determined as follows ((60% [***] [***]%) + (40% [***] [***]%)). The difference between the [***] Mix Percentage and the [***] Mix Percentage is [***]%. If the [***] Customer Sales Amount is $1,000,000.00, then the parties shall split $[***]. These provisions shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, Sections 5(g) and 5(h).
(o) Biosite shall provide FHC copies of each reagent rental agreement executed by Biosite with a Contract Customer in accordance with the terms of Section 2(i) of this Agreement as soon as practicable after execution by both Biosite and the applicable Contract Customer.
6. Term and Termination.
(a) This Agreement shall commence on [***] and shall terminate on December 31, 2005; provided, however, that this Agreement automatically shall be renewed for an additional period of [***], unless notice of non-renewal is given by one party to the other by not later than [***] (the “Extended Term”).

Additionally, FHC shall not make any statement regarding any Product after the termination of this Agreement that is not expressly permitted in the Message. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 6(c), FHC shall at all times after termination or expiration have the right to create marketing materials that describe the attributes of the Products versus the attributes of third party products (provided that such information regarding the Products shall be based solely on publicly available information regarding the Products and not based on information obtained by FHC, or based on the parties’ relationship, under this Agreement or any prior written agreement between the parties).
(d) IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CONTINGENT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF THE OTHER PARTY, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OF THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.
(e) Subject to the following sentence, in no event shall either party, directly or indirectly, initiate or prosecute, or assist or induce any third party to initiate or prosecute (other than as required under court order or legal process such as a subpoena), any claim, demand, suit, action, cause of action or other adversary proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement, other than a claim, demand, suit, action, cause of action or other adversary proceeding to the extent alleging (1) a material breach of express contract under this Agreement (provided that if the alleged material breach is curable, (i) the non-breaching party has given written notice of such material breach and the breaching party has failed to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days and (ii) during such thirty (30) day cure period, at the request of the party allegedly in breach, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith to discuss the grounds of the alleged breach), or (2) defamation through a statement made with “knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not” by one party of the other. Nothing in this Section 6(e) shall in any way limit any claim, demand, suit, action, cause of action or other proceeding (i) that a party (“Asserting Party”) may have against the other party to the extent relating to or arising as a result of a third party claim, demand, suit, action, cause of action or other proceeding against the Asserting Party, provided that the Asserting Party can provide written evidence of such claim, demand, suit, action, cause of action or other proceeding by such third party or (ii) that a party may have against a third party relating to a Product.
7. Trademarks.

(d) All Product units purchased by FHC hereunder shall be marketed by it in the original packages under the original labels provided by Biosite, and FHC shall make no modifications, or alterations to such Product units or labels; provided, however, that FHC may affix labels or other indices which serve to identify FHC as a distributor of the Product, so long as they do not cover and are not inconsistent with any of Biosite’s Product labels or markings.
(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting FHC any ownership interest in the Biosite Marks, and FHC acknowledges that it has been advised by Biosite of Biosite’s claim of ownership of the Biosite Marks.

Specifically, FHC agrees that: it will not challenge the validity of, or Biosite’s ownership of, any of the Biosite Marks; it will not take any action that is inconsistent with, or may impair, Biosite’s right, title and interest to the Biosite Marks; it will not represent to any third party that it has any ownership interest in the Biosite Marks; and it will execute and deliver to Biosite any and all documents which Biosite may request to confirm in Biosite all right, title and interest in the Biosite Marks.
(f) FHC shall make no statement to the press relating or referring to the Products without the prior express written approval of Biosite, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(g) Either party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any challenges to the validity, infringement on or unauthorized use of any of the Biosite Marks, actual or threatened, that may come to such party’s attention.

Thereafter, except as herein provided, FHC shall terminate all use of Biosite Marks, and shall at Biosite’s request and at Biosite’s expense, destroy or return to Biosite all literature and other advertising and promotional materials bearing only the Biosite Marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FHC shall not be required to destroy its inventory of catalogs and other materials that include a reference to Biosite Products among other FHC distributed products and FHC shall be allowed to use all such materials in its business until same are depleted or revised.
