AMENDED AND RESTATED U.S. DISTRIBUTORSHIP AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED U.S. DISTRIBUTORSHIP AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this 31st day of May, 2012, by and among SIRONA Dental Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SIRONA”), and Xxxxxxxxx Companies Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Xxxxxxxxx” and together with SIRONA, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).

BACKGROUND

A. SIRONA or its Affiliates develop and manufacture Contractual Products (as defined below).

B. Pursuant to that certain Distributorship Agreement dated April 6, 2000 by and between Xxxxxx Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation (“Xxxxxx”), and Xxxxxxxxx, as amended pursuant to several amendment agreements including, without limitation, that certain Amendment to Distributorship Agreement dated May 5, 2010 (the “2010 Amendment”) (collectively, the “Prior Agreement”), Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx agreed that Xxxxxxxxx would purchase Contractual Products for sale in the United States of America and Canada, subject to the express terms thereof.

C. SIRONA owns all of the outstanding capital stock of Xxxxxx and they are Affiliates. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Xxxxxx has assigned to SIRONA all right title and interest in and to the Prior Agreement and SIRONA has agreed to assume the obligations under the Prior Agreement.

D. Each of SIRONA and Xxxxxxxxx desires to amend and restate the terms of their business relationship with respect to the Contractual Products sold in the United States of America pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

E. The Prior Agreement shall continue in full force and effect solely with respect to Canada (it being agreed that the “Territory” as defined in the Prior Agreement is hereby amended to mean Canada alone, including all of its provinces).

F. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Xxxxxxxxx and SIRONA Dental Systems GmbH, a German corporation and Affiliate (as defined herein) of SIRONA (“SIRONA Germany”), have executed that certain Amended and Restated U.S. CAD-CAM Distributorship Agreement with respect to certain products of SIRONA Germany (not including the Contractual Products contemplated by this Agreement) that will be sold by Xxxxxxxxx in the United States of America (the “Amended and Restated CAD-CAM Agreement”).

G. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined shall have their respective meanings set forth on Exhibit 1 attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Subject of the Agreement; Mutually Exclusive Arrangement.

1.1 The “Territory” is the United States of America including its territories and possessions.

1.2 “Contractual Products” means all (i) Xxxxxx imaging products and equipment (including, without limitation, Xxxxxx branded x-ray products and accessories) (“Xxxxxx Products”) and (ii) “SIRONA Products” (as defined below), in each case manufactured by SIRONA and its Affiliates, except as excluded on Schedule 1.2 attached hereto. The term “SIRONA Products” means, subject to the exclusions specified on Schedule 1.2, all SIRONA branded imaging products and equipment (including, without limitation, SIRONA branded panoramic product lines) together with SIRONA branded treatment centers and instruments. Contractual Products will include related spare parts, consumables and repair exchange parts.

Contractual Products shall not include products of any nature (whether treatment centers, instruments or otherwise) that are acquired by SIRONA or its Affiliates after the date hereof from a seller or licensor by virtue of a transaction involving an acquisition of assets or capital stock (whether a stock sale, merger or otherwise), in-license or other similar transaction (such acquired products shall be referred to herein as “Acquired Products”).

In the event SIRONA distributes products contemplated by the right of first offer below to other distributors on a non-exclusive basis, Xxxxxxxxx shall have the option to distribute such products on no less favorable terms than any other distributor in the Territory.

During the Term of this Agreement, Xxxxxxxxx will have a right of first offer to be the exclusive distributor for the non-SIRONA branded products otherwise excluded from the definition of Contractual Products which have not been commercialized as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that this right shall not be applicable to Acquired Products. The right of first offer shall be administered as follows:

1.2.1 Before SIRONA markets such products itself or through others, it will first deliver to Xxxxxxxxx a written offer prepared by SIRONA (the “First Refusal Offer”), which will be irrevocable for either thirty (30) calendar days or sixty (60) calendar days depending upon whether

2

Xxxxxxxxx delivers the First Refusal Acceptance Notice timely subject to Section 1.2.2 below (the “First Refusal Offer Period”). The First Refusal Offer will offer to Xxxxxxxxx, or at Xxxxxxxxx’x election, to an Affiliate of Xxxxxxxxx, the opportunity to enter into an exclusive arrangement with SIRONA with respect to such products in the Territory under the terms provided in such First Refusal Offer (the “First Refusal Terms”).

1.2.2 Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the First Refusal Offer, Xxxxxxxxx will have the right to indicate, by written notice to SIRONA (the “First Refusal Acceptance Notice”), its desire to enter into a definitive agreement as set forth in the First Refusal Terms. If Xxxxxxxxx delivers the First Refusal Acceptance Notice during the above thirty (30) day period, Xxxxxxxxx and SIRONA will negotiate in good faith to enter into such definitive agreement within thirty (30) days after Xxxxxxxxx’x delivery of the First Refusal Acceptance Notice.

1.2.3 If (i) Xxxxxxxxx fails to deliver the First Refusal Acceptance Notice timely, or (ii) if the Parties fail to enter in to such definitive agreement within such thirty (30) day period contemplated above, then, SIRONA will be permitted to distribute such products in the Territory either itself (or through a SIRONA Affiliate), or with an unrelated third-party on arms-length terms which are not materially more favorable to the applicable third-party than the First Refusal Terms.

1.2.4 Time will be of the essence with respect to all time periods set forth in this item 1.2.

1.3 Exclusivity; Preferred Vendor Designation.

1.3.1 Subject to SIRONA’s termination rights described in Section 14.2 of this Agreement and Sections 1.3.4 and 1.4.3 below, SIRONA hereby grants to Xxxxxxxxx the exclusive right to distribute (itself or through an Affiliate) Contractual Products other than Acquired Products solely in the Territory to end users during the Term. The term “exclusive” in the previous sentence shall mean that SIRONA and its Affiliates shall not allow other distributors to sell Contractual Products in the Territory, shall only sell Contractual Products to Xxxxxxxxx for distribution and sale of such Contractual Products in the Territory, and shall not itself sell Contractual Products in the Territory except directly to academic institutions and government agencies. SIRONA and its Affiliates may sell non-SIRONA and non-Xxxxxx branded products to manufacturers and any other third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) dealers of Contractual Products in the Territory as of the date of this Agreement (“Existing SIRONA Dealers”) may make direct purchases of SIRONA Products from SIRONA and its Affiliates for a period of ninety (90) days from the effective date of this Agreement provided

3

such purchases are counted towards satisfying Xxxxxxxxx’x purchase requirements contemplated by Section 2.4 of this Agreement, and (ii) without limiting subpart (i) above, Existing SIRONA Dealers may make direct purchases of spare parts that are SIRONA Products during the entire Term, provided such purchases are counted toward satisfying Xxxxxxxxx’x purchase requirements contemplated by Section 2.4 of this Agreement.

1.3.2 During the Term, Xxxxxxxxx and its Affiliates shall purchase no less than [*****], both on a quarterly basis and annual basis, of their requirements in the Territory of Xxxxxx intra oral sensors (and products that are similar to or competitive with all such Xxxxxx intra oral sensors) from SIRONA. In determining total sales of intra oral sensors made by Xxxxxxxxx to which the above [*****] requirement applies, sales of intra oral sensors bundled with other Xxxxxx products (but not SIRONA Products) shall be included. Subject to Section 1.4 below, Xxxxxxxxx is not restricted from purchasing from other manufacturers products that are similar to or competitive with SIRONA Products, in each case for resale in the Territory. Xxxxxxxxx and its Affiliates shall not promote the sale or distribution of, or sell or distribute, the Contractual Products outside the Territory (as such term is defined in this Agreement and the Prior Agreement). If Xxxxxxxxx and its Affiliates fall below the aforementioned [*****] threshold with respect to any quarter during the Term, Xxxxxxxxx’x Vice President of Sales shall provide to SIRONA a corrective action plan no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the quarter in which the shortfall occurred. Such corrective plan must be satisfactory to SIRONA senior management, in its reasonable discretion.

In recognition of the significant investment made by SIRONA in the development of its Contractual Products and in its strategic relationship with Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx has and will continue during the Term to designate the Contractual Products as “Preferred Vendor 1”. [*****]

1.3.3 Subject to Sections 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 below and Section 14.2 of this Agreement, the exclusivity provisions contained in Sections 1.3.1 above (and the Term of this Agreement) shall be extended for an additional twelve (12) months to the extent that, for all (each and every one) of the three annual periods ending September 30, 2013, September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015, all of (i) the annual target specified in Section 2.4.1 of this Agreement with respect to the Xxxxxx Products on an individual basis (the “Xxxxxx Products Growth Target”) has been satisfied, (ii) the annual target specified in Section 2.4.1 of this Agreement with respect to the SIRONA Products on an individual basis (the “SIRONA Products Growth Target” and together with the Xxxxxx Products Growth Target, “the Contractual Products Growth Targets”) has been satisfied, (iii) the annual target specified in Section 2.4.1 of

*****Confidential 4

the Amended and Restated CAD-CAM Agreement pertaining to CAD-CAM products on an individual basis (the “CAD-CAM Products Growth Target” and together with each of the two Contractual Products Growth Targets, the “Products Targets”) shall have been satisfied and (iv) the aggregate of the Contractual Products Growth Target and the CAD-CAM Products Growth Target, shall have been satisfied on an over-all basis (such target contemplated by this item (iv), the “Overall Growth Target”).

Further, subject to Sections 1.3.4, 1.3.5 and 1.4.3 below and Section 14.2 of this Agreement, (x) the exclusivity period (and the Term) shall be extended for an additional twelve (12) months if both the Overall Growth Target and each of the three Products Targets is satisfied in all (each and every one) of the four SIRONA fiscal years ending September 30, 2016, and (y) the exclusivity period (and the Term) shall be extended for an additional twelve (12) months if both the Overall Growth Target and each of the Products Targets is satisfied in all (each and every one) of the five SIRONA fiscal years ending September 30, 2017. For the avoidance of doubt, the Term may be extended up to three additional years based on the foregoing contained in this Section 1.3.3.

The Parties agree that notwithstanding that one or more of the Xxxxxx Products Growth Target, the SIRONA Products Growth Target, the CAD CAM Products Growth Target or the Overall Growth Target is not achieved with respect to a given SIRONA fiscal year, any such target may still be deemed satisfied if Xxxxxxxxx pays to SIRONA an aggregate payment equal to

(x) with respect to the CAD-CAM Products Growth Target, an amount (such payment amount, the “CAD-CAM True-up Amount”) equal to (i) [*****] multiplied by (ii) [*****] (the “CAD-CAM Deficiency”),

(y) with respect to the Overall Growth Target, an amount (such payment contemplated by this Section (y) shall be referred to herein as the “Margin True-Up Payment”) equal to (i) [*****] multiplied by (ii) [*****] (the “Overall Deficiency”) (but the Parties agree that before [*****] is applied to such Overall Deficiency, a portion of the Overall Deficiency equal to the CAD-CAM Deficiency, if any, shall be paid at the [*****] rate contemplated above), and

(z) with respect to either or both of the Xxxxxx Products Growth Target and the SIRONA Products Growth Target, an amount (such payment amount (the “Xxxxxx/SIRONA True-Up Amount”) equal to (i) [*****] multiplied by (ii) [*****] (or both categories as the case may be) made during such year by Xxxxxxxxx (the “Xxxxxx/SIRONA Deficiency”).

*****Confidential 5

For the avoidance of doubt, in order to extend exclusivity contemplated by this Section 1.3.3 if one or more targets is not achieved in any applicable SIRONA fiscal year, Xxxxxxxxx must pay to SIRONA an aggregate amount equal to the sum of subparts (x), (y) and (z) above. To give effect to the foregoing, SIRONA shall deliver notice to Xxxxxxxxx indicating that applicable targets were not satisfied consistent with timing of delivery of the Margin Shortfall Notice contemplated by Section 1.3.5 below. Xxxxxxxxx must respond to such notice consistent with timing applicable to the Margin Acceptance Notice referenced below. Finally, Xxxxxxxxx shall make payments consistent with timing applicable to the Margin True-Up Payment contemplated in Section 1.3.5 below.

1.3.4 Subject to Section 1.3.5 below, the exclusivity period contemplated in Section 1.3.1 with respect to the Contractual Products, along with the Term of this Agreement, shall be reduced by a one year period for any year that the Overall Growth Target is not satisfied during a SIRONA fiscal year (“Margin Shortfall Year”) (each such one year reduction shall be referred to herein as an “Exclusivity Reduction”). For the avoidance of doubt, not only will the period of SIRONA’s obligation to sell Contractual Products exclusively to Xxxxxxxxx be reduced but the period of Xxxxxxxxx’x obligation to purchase no less than [*****] of its requirements in the Territory of Contractual Products that are so called “Xxxxxx Products” (including, without limitation, products that compete with such Xxxxxx Products) shall also be reduced.

1.3.5 At Xxxxxxxxx’x option, it may avoid an Exclusivity Reduction with respect to any Margin Shortfall Year during the Term by paying to SIRONA an amount equal to the Margin True-up Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Margin True-Up Payment contemplated by this Section shall, if made, satisfy the requirements of this Section 1.3.5 and Section 1.3.6 of the Amended and Restated CAD-CAM Agreement (it being agreed that the obligations under this Section and the Amended and Restated CAD-CAM Agreement are not cumulative).

To give effect to the first paragraph of this Section 1.3.5, SIRONA shall deliver to Xxxxxxxxx, on or before August 20 during the applicable SIRONA fiscal year written notice that the Overall Growth Target is not likely to be satisfied with respect to such year based on orders made to date (the “Margin Shortfall Notice”). Based on the Margin Shortfall Notice, Xxxxxxxxx shall deliver to SIRONA on or before September 1 of such SIRONA fiscal year written notice (which shall be irrevocable) stating whether it will make a Margin True-Up Payment with respect to the applicable Margin Shortfall Year to the extent the Overall Growth

*****Confidential 6

Target is not satisfied (“Margin Acceptance Notice”), it being agreed that if such Margin Acceptance Notice is not delivered by Xxxxxxxxx within such period, the Exclusivity Reduction shall be triggered to the extent the Overall Growth Target is not satisfied. If Xxxxxxxxx states that it will make a Margin True-Up Payment, SIRONA shall calculate and invoice Xxxxxxxxx as of September 30 of the applicable year and such payment must be made by Xxxxxxxxx within five business days after delivery of such invoice (and once made, shall be non-refundable), it being agreed that if such Margin True Up Payment is not delivered by Xxxxxxxxx within such period, the Exclusivity Reduction shall be triggered. If the amount that would be invoiced is zero dollars, Xxxxxxxxx shall be deemed in compliance with the Overall Growth Target and SIRONA shall deliver a statement confirming the same. SIRONA shall be entitled to apportion such Margin True-Up Payment for tax and accounting purposes to one or more of its legal entities in its discretion.

In the event that the aggregate amount of purchases made by Xxxxxxxxx during the applicable Margin Shortfall Year and the year immediately following such Margin Shortfall Year is in excess of the aggregate of the Overall Growth Targets for those two years on a combined basis, Xxxxxxxxx may elect, if it made a Margin True-Up Payment with respect to the Margin Shortfall Year, to receive the Special Performance Bonus (as defined below) within ninety (90) days of the end of an applicable SIRONA fiscal year; provided, however, that if Xxxxxxxxx elects to receive such payment, Xxxxxxxxx shall not be given credit for having satisfied the Overall Growth Target in the Margin Shortfall Year for purposes of Section 1.3.3 hereof. The term “Special Performance Bonus” shall mean a payment equal to (i) [*****] multiplied by (ii) [*****] (the “Excess Performance Amount”) (but the Parties agree that before [*****] is applied to such Excess Performance Amount, a portion of such Excess Performance Amount equal to the CAD-CAM Deficiency applicable to the Margin Shortfall Year, if any, shall be paid at the [*****] rate contemplated above); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Special Performance Bonus be greater than the Margin True-Up Payment applicable to such Margin Shortfall Year.

1.4 Xxxxxxxxx Obligations (Missed Growth Target).

1.4.1 At such point that either the Xxxxxx Products Growth Target or the SIRONA Products Growth Target is not satisfied with respect to any SIRONA fiscal year during the Term as such Term may be extended or reduced pursuant to Section 1.3 above (including, without limitation, such year ending September 30, 2012), Xxxxxxxxx shall designate the

*****Confidential

7

applicable product category (whether Xxxxxx Products, SIRONA Products or both) as “Preferred E”. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation contemplated by the prior sentence (and the similar obligations in Sections 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 below) shall not be deemed satisfied merely because the payments contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 1.3.3 were made. If during the period after this Section 1.4.1 is triggered with respect to either or both of the Xxxxxx Products or SIRONA Products, Xxxxxxxxx satisfies the Xxxxxx Product Growth Target and/or the SIRONA Products Growth Target, as the case may be, for two consecutive SIRONA fiscal years during the Term, the treatment contemplated by this Section 1.4.1 above shall expire and the designation of “Preferred E” is no longer required unless and until re-triggered pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.4.1 above. The following shall apply to any period during which the “Preferred E” designation is required:

(i) Xxxxxxxxx’x sales representatives shall be paid a commission rate with respect to sales of Contractual Products designated as “Preferred E” that is [*****] by an amount equal to [*****] on applicable sales. For example, if the commission rate paid in connection with [*****] is equal to [*****] applicable to such sales, the Preferred E commission would be equal to [*****] applicable to such Preferred E sales. Upon request by SIRONA, Xxxxxxxxx shall provide SIRONA with sufficient documentation and support in order to confirm Xxxxxxxxx’x compliance with this Section.

(ii) [*****]

1.4.2 If either the Xxxxxx Products Growth Target or the SIRONA Products Growth Target is not satisfied with respect to any two SIRONA fiscal years during the Term as such Term may be extended or reduced pursuant to Section 1.3 above, (i) the [*****] commission rate difference referenced in Section 1.4.1(i) above shall be increased to [*****] with respect to all sales occurring after the second year of failure, and (ii) if applicable, Xxxxxxxxx shall be required during the Term to purchase no less than [*****] (on an annual basis) of its requirements in the Territory of SIRONA Products. A failure to comply with such [*****] requirement shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement providing SIRONA with applicable remedies under this Agreement (including a termination right). If during the period after this Section 1.4.2 is triggered with respect to either or both of the Xxxxxx Products or SIRONA Products, Xxxxxxxxx satisfies the Xxxxxx Product Growth Target and/or the SIRONA Products Growth Target, as the case may be, for two consecutive SIRONA fiscal years during the Term, the treatment contemplated by Section 1.4.1 above shall once again be applicable to such product category or categories, as the case may be, once again unless this Section 1.4.2 is re-triggered based on the first sentence hereof.

*****Confidential 8

1.4.3 If either the Xxxxxx Products Growth Target or the SIRONA Products Growth Target is not satisfied with respect to three consecutive Sirona fiscal years during the Term, (i) the exclusivity provisions contemplated by Section 1.3.1 above shall be eliminated with respect to the applicable product category to which the failure applies and (ii) SIRONA may, at its option and without any liability resulting therefrom (including, without limitation, any obligation to refund any Margin True-Up Payments), terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable product category to which the failure applies.

1.5 This Agreement shall not confer to Xxxxxxxxx or SIRONA any right or authority to obligate SIRONA or Xxxxxxxxx, respectively, in any way to accept any orders.

1.6 Neither Xxxxxxxxx nor SIRONA shall assume obligations in the name of or on the account of SIRONA or Xxxxxxxxx, respectively, and nor shall either of them make any representations or warranties on behalf of the other, except as expressly authorized in writing.

1.7 Xxxxxxxxx and SIRONA shall be deemed at all times to be independent contractors and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a relationship of employer and employee, partnership or joint venture between them.

2. Sales Activities

2.1 Xxxxxxxxx shall use its best efforts to promote and sell Contractual Products in the Territory. Xxxxxxxxx shall maintain the organization necessary to ensure commercially reasonable sales activity for Contractual Products. For this purpose, Xxxxxxxxx shall, among other things:

2.1.1 maintain a stock of Contractual Products commensurate with the expected business aiming to meet the purchase requirements in Section 2.4 below, including without limitation, sufficient to satisfy requirements based on the forecasts contemplated in Section 8.6 of this Agreement;

2.1.2 maintain appropriate equipment relating to the Contractual Products in all branch showrooms and appropriate training centers;

2.1.3 provide adequate technical service for regular maintenance and repair of Contractual Products in the Territory (including, without limitation, first line technical support), and maintain a stock of spare parts and consumables sufficient to satisfy customer demand;

2.1.4 maintain adequate installation, assembly and commissioning capabilities;

9

2.1.5 employ a dedicated “high level” Executive who shall devote his or her full business time to the development and expansion of the business pertaining to the Contractual Products;

2.1.6 purchase sufficient demonstration equipment to equip appropriate branches; and

2.1.7 Each Xxxxxxxxx branch will create a business plan that will detail how it intends to develop the business with respect to the Contractual Products for the purpose of satisfying the minimum purchase targets specified in Section 2.4 hereof. Each plan will be created on an annual basis by the applicable Xxxxxxxxx Branch manager in cooperation with the SIRONA/Xxxxxx Market leader assigned to that branch. All such plans shall be evaluated and approved by Xxxxxxxxx and SIRONA senior management. Timing and approval of these business plans shall be consistent with past practice.

SIRONA shall, as it deems appropriate, provide advice and recommendations in carrying out the above mentioned tasks.

2.2 SIRONA shall furnish Xxxxxxxxx with its list of Contractual Products and other sales literature in appropriate quantity on an on-going basis. Furthermore, SIRONA shall assist Xxxxxxxxx, upon request and to the extent feasible in producing special sales literature.

2.3 SIRONA shall, in its capacity as manufacturer of Contractual Products, comply with public laws and regulations applicable in the Territory to Contractual Products, including US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. Contractual Products shall be authorized for sale in the United States and will have obtained a current 510 (K) from the FDA and will have been manufactured in accordance with GMP (as defined by the FDA for each Contractual Product).

Each of the Parties shall comply with laws, rules and regulations pertinent to its duties and obligations under this Agreement in the Territory, as applicable.

SIRONA will be responsible for responding to and/or executing, as appropriate or required under applicable laws and regulations, all complaints, failures, adverse events, and recalls, whether voluntary or involuntary, involving the Contractual Products. Xxxxxxxxx shall reasonably cooperate with any such activity, including reporting to Vendor any adverse events it learns of with respect to the Products. No recalls shall be conducted without the prior written consent of SIRONA.

2.4 Minimum Purchase Requirements.

2.4.1 Minimum Purchase Requirements. In each SIRONA fiscal year (i.e., SIRONA fiscal year 2013 is from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013) during the Term, Xxxxxxxxx shall purchase from SIRONA both Xxxxxx Products and SIRONA Products with respect to the Territory (i.e. the U.S.) in a dollar amount no less than the amounts specified in the table below.

2.4.2 The purchases contemplated in Section 2.4.1 shall be based on actual invoiced purchases minus returns during the period, promotional discounts and rebates. For the avoidance of doubt, these targets are measured at the end of a fiscal year on an aggregate and individual basis, as applicable.

2.4.3 The Parties will meet on a quarterly basis for the purpose of evaluating, in good faith, whether the volume of purchases made by Xxxxxxxxx hereunder, during the most recent quarter and year-to-date, is consistent with, and likely to result in the satisfaction of, Xxxxxxxxx’x annual minimum purchase requirements. In addition, without limiting Section 5 hereof, on a monthly basis, Xxxxxxxxx will provide SIRONA with detailed information relating to its purchases of Contractual Products from SIRONA including, without limitation, the sales targets and results for each of Xxxxxxxxx’x branch offices for that month; a schedule of Xxxxxxxxx’x sales for that month with respect to each product included within the Contractual Products, and any other materials reasonably necessary for SIRONA to ascertain whether Xxxxxxxxx is “on target” to meet its annual and quarterly purchase requirements hereunder.

2.4.4 It is understood and agreed that the purchase quantities set forth herein do not in and of themselves impose any obligation upon Xxxxxxxxx to make payments or commitments of payments of money to SIRONA other than for product actually purchased, and Xxxxxxxxx shall not be liable for damages resulting solely from its failure to meet the purchase quantities set forth above; provided, however, that this sentence shall not limit SIRONA’s remedies in connection with a breach by Xxxxxxxxx of an obligation contained in this Agreement other than the purchase requirement itself.

*****Confidential 11

3. Use of the name SIRONA and of the trademark SIRONA and other trademarks

3.1 No reference to SIRONA or its Affiliates (including “Sirona”, “Xxxxxx” or other tradenames or trademarks) shall be made on Xxxxxxxxx’x stationary, visiting cards, sales, promotional or other written material without the prior written approval of SIRONA.

3.2 Subject to revocation by SIRONA at any time, Xxxxxxxxx shall be permitted to use the trademark SIRONA and other trademarks with respect to Contractual Products registered in SIRONA’s name for advertising and promotional purposes, provided that Xxxxxxxxx observes the applicable SIRONA directives and uses only those trademark designs approved in writing in advance by SIRONA. Upon request by SIRONA or if required by law, SIRONA and Xxxxxxxxx shall conclude a separate trademark license agreement.

3.3 Without limiting Section 13 of this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, Xxxxxxxxx shall immediately cease to use in any manner whatsoever the name SIRONA and the other trademarks relating to the Contractual Products; as well as any other trademark in which SIRONA has any rights, except as may be permitted in other contracts between Xxxxxxxxx and SIRONA or any Affiliates thereof.

4. Advertising and Marketing

4.1 Xxxxxxxxx shall advertise and promote Contractual Products (as defined in Section 1.2 above) in a manner intended to achieve optimum development of the business and in accordance with SlRONA’s reasonable advertising directives and support strategies. Xxxxxxxxx shall obtain the written approval of SIRONA prior to the implementation of any major advertising campaign.

4.2 Each Party shall develop and implement a marketing plan which shall include the terms of the plan dated the same date as this Agreement to promote the sale of the Products, including development of a mutually agreeable marketing budget, and, where appropriate, joint advertising and promotional efforts. Such advertising and promotional programs will include all trade shows and dental conventions at which Xxxxxxxxx is participating. SIRONA shall provide Xxxxxxxxx any sales leads generated through such activity. SIRONA and Xxxxxxxxx reserve the right to disapprove any advertising which varies substantially from the type and kind in general use by Xxxxxxxxx or SIRONA in the United States as long as such disapproval is communicated within 48 hours of receipt. In the event of such disapproval by either SIRONA or Xxxxxxxxx, neither SIRONA nor Xxxxxxxxx will utilize or disseminate the advertising in question.

4.3 Xxxxxxxxx and SIRONA shall share marketing costs equally on promotions including financing, events and joint spending items across all exclusive categories of Contractual Products with a mutually defined budget set at the beginning of each SIRONA fiscal year and included in the business plan. With

12

Xxxxxxxxx’x prior written approval, which will not be withheld absent a business rationale, SIRONA may pay Xxxxxxxxx its share of the cost via credit memo or otherwise as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

5. Reporting

Xxxxxxxxx shall make regular reports in the manner and at the intervals reasonable requested by SIRONA, in any event on a monthly basis, at the beginning of each month, concerning the business with respect to Contractual Products in the Territory, the market situation, economic situation and forecast, trade policies, business prospects, activities of competitors (provided no legal prohibition on providing such information) and other pertinent developments. In particular Xxxxxxxxx shall, at the beginning of each quarter, report to SIRONA on:

• order entry/turnover and backlog, sorted out as to number of units and value, relative to sale regions,

• stock of Contractual Products relative to sale branches,

• market conditions, competitive conditions, competitive products, and

• personnel changes as regards employees trained by SIRONA for the sale and service of Contractual Products.

6. Selling Aids and Training. SIRONA will provide Xxxxxxxxx with reasonable quantities of current Product information, promotional materials such as photographs and artwork and technical literature. In addition, SIRONA shall furnish ratings and specifications for the Products in conformity with United States standards so that Xxxxxxxxx shall not have to do any testing. Upon Xxxxxxxxx’x reasonable request, technical help shall also be furnished to Xxxxxxxxx without cost. SIRONA shall supply Xxxxxxxxx from time to time with copies of its catalogs, brochures, direct mail, advertising and promotional materials, including audio-visual tapes and Product data, which Xxxxxxxxx may use in developing its own advertising and promotional material for the Products. In addition to the foregoing support, upon Xxxxxxxxx’x reasonable request, SIRONA will provide assistance and training to Xxxxxxxxx’x personnel at mutually agreed upon locations. The costs for the training program, including travel and living expenses for the trainees, shall be shared equally between the Parties.

7. Inquiries

Xxxxxxxxx shall forward to SIRONA or its local distributor any and all inquiries regarding Contractual Products that are received from countries located outside the Territory (as such term is defined in this Agreement). Xxxxxxxxx, however, shall have no claim to compensation therefrom.

8. Transactions

8.1 Transactions concerning Contractual Products may only be performed by Xxxxxxxxx and its Affiliates in their own name and on their own account.

13

8.2 Current Prices and Price Increases. Prices for Contractual Products, spare parts, repair exchange parts, and accessories of Contractual Products will continue at their current levels consistent with SIRONA’s applicable price book which may be amended from time to time. SIRONA will aim to provide Xxxxxxxxx with at least [*****] prior notice of price changes. This Agreement and such price book will be deemed amended at the time that the prices of new Contractual Products are established or whenever prices of Contractual Products are changed, as follows:

This Agreement will continue for its full Term unless it is earlier terminated, as follows: Xxxxxxxxx and SIRONA may each terminate this Agreement (or it may elect instead to terminate only the mutual grants of exclusivity upon written notice to the other with immediate effect due to the following occurring to (or in the case of a material breach committed by) the other Party:

(ii) if (A) Xxxxxxxxx commits a breach described in (ii) through (iv) of the first paragraph of this Section 14.2.3, or (B) Xxxxxxxxx breaches any of its obligations to SIRONA pursuant to Sections 1.3 or 1.4 of this Agreement, or sells outside the Territory or sells to persons/entities other than end users, or (C) (x) ownership of [*****] or more of the equity securities in Xxxxxxxxx entitled to vote or (y) the right to control the management or policies of Xxxxxxxxx is acquired (directly or indirectly) by a company that competes with SIRONA or any SIRONA Affiliate that is engaged in the dental equipment business, or (D) Xxxxxxxxx acquires (directly or indirectly) an interest in a company that competes with SIRONA or any SIRONA Affiliate in any of the dental equipment business lines currently engaged in by SIRONA or such Affiliate.

14.4 Termination Without Prejudice.
