	3.08		(a) IDEXX shall develop detailed specifications for the New Slide/Panel Design, and the parties shall meet promptly thereafter to review such specifications (the “Design Review”). In connection with the Design Review,

IDEXX shall also provide OCD with a good faith forecast of the number of New Slides that IDEXX and IDEXX BV anticipate ordering during each of the first five years following the date of the first commercial sale of the New Analyzer (the “Design Forecast”). In addition, IDEXX shall provide OCD with its good faith estimate of its and IDEXX BV’s annual requirements for New Slides during the subsequent three years. Within 60 days after the Design Review, or such other period as the parties may agree, OCD shall provide IDEXX a detailed summary showing OCD’s good faith estimate of (1) the cost to install a production line (including without limitation design costs, engineering costs, equipment costs and validation costs) for the New Slide/Panel Design (“Automation Costs”) and (2) the ongoing expenses per New Slide associated with the formatting and packaging of New Slides that are in excess of OCD’s current expenses for manufacturing and packaging the current VITROS-formatted slides in 50-count cartridges (“Incremental Manufacturing Costs”).

			(b) Automation Costs shall exclude the cost of any injection molding tooling associated with the New Slide/Panel Design, for which IDEXX shall be solely responsible. The parties shall mutually agree on the selection of a third party vendor for such tooling. IDEXX shall own such tooling. After installation, OCD shall be solely responsible for the maintenance and repair of any such tooling.

			(c) Incremental Manufacturing Costs shall be based on the average annual volumes of New Slides set forth in the Design Forecast during the first five years following the date of the first commercial sale of the New Analyzer, and will include the cost of direct labor and materials (including without limitation plastic components and all packaging materials), facility allocation and reasonable overhead, and will exclude depreciation of any Automation Costs.

			(d) If OCD’s estimated Automation Costs are $[] or less, and OCD’s estimated Incremental Manufacturing Costs are $[] or less per New Slide, then OCD shall manufacture and package New Slides in accordance with IDEXX’s specifications for the New Slide/Panel Design and supply them to IDEXX for the Term as provided in this Agreement. In this case, OCD shall be solely responsible for all Automation Costs and all costs of manufacturing such slides, including Incremental Manufacturing Costs, regardless of whether OCD’s actual costs are different than the estimates provided to IDEXX.

			(e) If OCD’s estimated Automation Costs are greater than $[], or OCD’s estimated Incremental Manufacturing Costs are greater than $[] per New Slide, then OCD may elect to be solely responsible for all such costs, in which case OCD shall manufacture and package New Slides in accordance with IDEXX’s specifications for the New Slide/Panel Design and supply them to IDEXX for the Term as provided in this Agreement. In this case, OCD shall be solely responsible for all Automation Costs and all costs of manufacturing such slides,

			including Incremental Manufacturing Costs, regardless of whether OCD’s actual costs are different than the estimates provided to IDEXX.

			(f) If OCD does not elect to be solely responsible for all costs as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 3.08, then IDEXX shall have the option of either (1) changing the New Slide/Panel Design to reduce OCD’s costs, such that paragraph (d) of this Section 3.08 applies, or (2) assuming the entire amount (or such lesser portion as the parties mutually agree) of OCD’s estimated Automation Costs that exceeds $[] and assuming the entire amount (or such lesser portion as the parties mutually agree) of OCD’s estimated Incremental Manufacturing Costs that exceeds $[] per New Slide, or (3) performing the formatting and packaging of New Slides independently, as more particularly described below.

			(g) If IDEXX elects to assume a portion of OCD’s Automation Costs or Incremental Manufacturing Costs as set forth in clause (2) of paragraph (f) of this Section 3.08, then (1) in the event actual Automation Costs exceed the amount contemplated by the parties under clause (2) of paragraph (f) of this Section 3.08, IDEXX and OCD shall [**] of such excess Automation Costs and (2) OCD shall be solely responsible for all costs of manufacturing and packaging New Slides, including Incremental Manufacturing Costs, that are not assumed by IDEXX, regardless of whether OCD’s actual costs are different than it had estimated when the parties agreed to the portion to be assumed by IDEXX, and OCD shall supply such slides to IDEXX for the Term as provided in this Agreement.

			(h) If IDEXX elects to perform the formatting and packaging of the New Slides independently of OCD, then (1) in lieu of New Slides, OCD shall supply IDEXX with VITROS slides in the format currently manufactured for the VITROS mainframe analyzers and/or the VETTEST Analyzer (i.e., VITROS slides packaged in 50-count cartridges, before further formatting and packaging for VETTEST Analyzer requirements), as applicable for New Slides, for the Term as provided in this Agreement, and all references in this Agreement to New Slides or to VETTEST slides, to the extent referring to OCD’s obligation to supply New Slides, shall mean such VITROS slides packaged in 50-count cartridges and (2) solely with respect to New Slides, the prices for Tiers 2 and 3 in the table set forth in Section 7.02 shall be reduced by $[**] per New Slide.

			(i) The parties acknowledge that the specifications for the New Slide/Panel Design may change after the initial Design Review in accordance with IDEXX’s requirements. If OCD has elected to perform the formatting and packaging of the New Slides, then all incremental costs resulting from such change in specifications, to the extent that they cause Automation Costs to exceed $[] or Incremental Manufacturing Costs to exceed $[] per New Slide, shall be borne by the parties as they may agree. If the parties cannot so agree, then IDEXX may make the election provided for in paragraph (h) of this Section 3.08, in which case IDEXX shall reimburse OCD for OCD’s Automation Costs incurred and take

			ownership of any capital equipment and related design materials funded as Automation Costs and developed in connection with OCD’s new production line for the New Slide/Panel Design to the date of IDEXX’s election, and OCD shall cooperate with IDEXX in the transfer of such equipment and materials to IDEXX. If IDEXX has elected to perform the formatting and packaging of the New Slides independently of OCD, and if such change in specifications could reasonably result in a significant reduction in Automation Costs or Incremental Manufacturing Costs, then IDEXX shall notify OCD of such fact and OCD shall have the option to request that the parties conduct a further Design Review in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 3.08, and OCD shall be permitted to re-estimate its Automation Costs and Incremental Manufacturing Costs, to require that the parties conduct the cost review, as otherwise provided in this Section 3.08, and to make the election in paragraph 3.08(e).

			(j) If IDEXX and IDEXX BV shall not have attained [**]% of the Design Forecast during the first five years following the date of the first commercial sale of the New Analyzer, then IDEXX shall reimburse OCD for an amount equal to the product of (a) the Automation Costs borne by OCD, times (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of slides by which IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s actual purchases of New Slides falls short of the Design Forecast and the denominator of which is the Design Forecast; provided that, for avoidance of doubt, there shall be no change in the price of New Slides as a result of the failure to attain such percentage of the Design Forecast.

			(k) If OCD elects to format and package New Slides, and if in the future the through-put capacity of such packaging line is insufficient to meet IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s forecasted demand, any additional capital investment or other costs required to meet such demand (other than for injection molding tooling), whether by increasing the through-put capacity of the packaging line or adding a new packaging line, shall be borne by the parties in the same relative proportions as all previous Automation Costs; and IDEXX shall bear the costs for required injection molding tooling.

			(l) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.08 to the contrary, if the Design Forecast indicates that IDEXX and IDEXX BV expect to purchase fewer than [**] New Slides hereunder during the first five years following the date of first commercial sale of the New Analyzer, then OCD may in its sole discretion elect to be released from any obligation to format and package the New Slides, in which event IDEXX’s sole options hereunder shall be either (1) to reduce OCD’s costs to a level that is acceptable to OCD in light of the Design Forecast, or (2) to perform the formatting and packaging of New Slides independently, as more particularly described in paragraph 3.08(h) above.

3.09

IDEXX acknowledges that it has not relied upon any guarantee or assurance from OCD, express or implied, regarding the technical feasibility of the New Analyzer

or the New Slide/Panel Design in deciding to engage in the development of the New Analyzer and New Slide/Panel Design, and that OCD shall have no liability with respect to IDEXX’s termination of any of its other product development activities.

AGREEMENT TO SUPPLY

OCD shall supply VETTEST slides in compliance with the VETTEST Slide Quality Assurance Procedures set out in Schedule 1. All slides supplied to IDEXX hereunder are supplied solely for sale within the Territory; provided that IDEXX may make limited sales to IDEXX BV solely for purposes of adjusting inventory levels according to unanticipated changes in regional demand. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate OCD, with respect to any particular chemistry, to furnish IDEXX with slides for such chemistry in any slit format that OCD does not currently manufacture for such chemistry, or that would otherwise be uneconomical for OCD to supply to IDEXX (other than the slit formats for such chemistry that OCD then sells or has agreed in writing to sell to IDEXX).

	4.02		(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after [] the annual volume of VETTEST slides purchased by IDEXX and IDEXX BV is less than [] slides, then OCD may in its sole discretion elect to be released from any obligation to format and package the New Slides and/or package other VETTEST slides, in which event IDEXX’s sole options hereunder shall be either (x) to accept an increase in slide prices for New Slides and/or other VETTEST slides that is adequate to compensate OCD for any increase in its costs due to such reduction in volume, or (y) with respect to slides for which IDEXX does not accept a price increase under the preceding clause (x), to perform the formatting and packaging of New Slides and/or the packaging of other VETTEST slides, as applicable, independently of OCD.

(b) If IDEXX elects to perform the formatting and packaging of New Slides, then (1) in lieu of New Slides OCD shall supply IDEXX with VITROS slides in the format currently manufactured for the VITROS mainframe analyzers and/or the VETTEST Analyzer (i.e., VITROS slides packaged in 50-count cartridges, before further formatting and packaging for VETTEST Analyzer requirements), as applicable for New Slides, for the Term as provided in this Agreement, and all references in this Agreement to New Slides or to VETTEST slides, to the extent referring to OCD’s obligation to supply New Slides, shall mean such VITROS slides packaged in 50-count cartridges, (2) the prices for Tiers 2 and 3 in the table set forth in Section 7.02 shall be reduced by $[**] per New Slide, (3) IDEXX shall take ownership of any capital equipment and related design materials funded as Automation Costs and developed in connection with OCD’s new production

			line for the New Slide/Panel Design, and OCD shall cooperate with IDEXX in the transfer of such equipment and materials to IDEXX and (4) IDEXX shall reimburse OCD for the book value of such equipment.

			(c) If IDEXX elects to perform the packaging of VETTEST slides other than New Slides, then (1) in lieu of such other VETTEST slides OCD shall supply IDEXX with VITROS slides in the format currently manufactured for the VETTEST Analyzer (i.e., VITROS slides packaged in 50-count cartridges, before further formatting and packaging for VETTEST Analyzer requirements) for the Term as provided in this Agreement, and all references in this Agreement to VETTEST slides, to the extent referring to OCD’s obligation to supply such slides (other than New Slides), shall mean such VITROS slides packaged in 50-count cartridges, (2) the prices for Tiers 1, 2 and 3 in the table set forth in Section 7.02 shall be reduced by $[**] per slide for VETTEST slides (other than New Slides), (3) IDEXX shall take ownership of OCD’s packaging lines for VETTEST slides (other than New Slides), except equipment which OCD requires for the packaging of slides for the VITROS DT60 (or next generation OCD analyzer), but in any event including the VETTEST “panel assembly machine” (XXX) line which is used currently to package PANELS/PROFILES, and OCD shall cooperate with IDEXX in the transfer of such packaging line(s) to IDEXX and (4) IDEXX shall reimburse OCD for the book value of such transferred equipment.

			(d) In either case if IDEXX elects to perform the formatting and packaging of New Slides and/or the packaging of other VETTEST slides independently, the parties shall cooperate to determine an appropriate timetable for the transfer of responsibilities to IDEXX, such that the supply of slides to IDEXX shall continue without interruption.

			(e) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate OCD to transfer to IDEXX any capital equipment used by OCD in the manufacture of VITROS slides.

FORECASTS, COMMITMENTS AND ORDERS

	5.01		Attached hereto as Schedule 4 are aggregate Purchase Commitments by IDEXX and IDEXX BV for VETTEST slides for the VETTEST Analyzer for calendar years 2003 through and including 2010. The Purchase Commitments constitute the aggregate anticipated minimum aggregate purchase quantities by IDEXX and IDEXX BV for single chemistry VETTEST slides and PANELS/PROFILES slides in the indicated calendar years.

			Existing Special [] Slides, New Special [] Slides and New Chemistry Slides shall be excluded from the determination of IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s slide purchases for purposes of achieving their aggregate Purchase Commitments under Section 5.01 of this Agreement or the Europe Agreement, as the case may be.

			Failure by IDEXX and IDEXX BV to purchase, in the aggregate, at least the indicated Purchase Commitment quantities of each type of slides in any year may subject IDEXX to the requirement to make a payment to OCD as set forth in Section 5.02 below, but such failure shall in no event otherwise be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement.

	5.02		If IDEXX and IDEXX BV fail to purchase in the aggregate the quantities of slides for the VETTEST Analyzer set forth as Purchase Commitments on Schedule 4 in a particular calendar year, unless there has been a Material Adverse Change (as defined in the following paragraph), IDEXX shall pay, or shall cause IDEXX BV to pay, to OCD within 30 days after the end of such calendar year [**]% of the product of (i) the number of each type of slides (single or PANELS/PROFILES) by which IDEXX and IDEXX BV have in the aggregate fallen short of the Purchase Commitment and (ii) the lowest per-slide price for the applicable type of slides under either of the Agreements.

			For the purposes of this Section 5.02, “Material Adverse Changes” shall mean material changes in the veterinary clinical chemistry markets which result from (a) the commercial introduction into the veterinary market, other than by IDEXX or its affiliates, of a technology not previously available in the veterinary clinical chemistry market, (b) the eradication of one or more diseases, or the development of new disease therapies, treatments or diagnostics, which significantly reduces demand for veterinary clinical chemistry testing or (c) the inability or unwillingness of OCD to supply VETTEST or VITROS slides in accordance with IDEXX’s Annual Purchase Forecasts pursuant to Section 5.04 below. Whether a Material Adverse Change has occurred will be determined by reference to the effect of a change in the veterinary clinical chemistry market on IDEXX and IDEXX BV taken as a whole, and not on either individually.

			The parties shall discuss in good faith any assertion by IDEXX or IDEXX BV that a Material Adverse Change has occurred or is continuing. If the parties agree that a Material Adverse Change has occurred or is continuing, they shall negotiate in good faith with respect to appropriate reductions in Purchase Commitments, VETTEST slide prices (including single and PANELS/PROFILES slides) and/or amounts which would otherwise be payable pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.02 to appropriately allocate the effects of such Material Adverse Change on the parties.

	5.03		Order and delivery of VETTEST slides (including PANELS/PROFILES) shall be made in multiples of 100 boxes. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties in any particular case, IDEXX shall place orders for slides four times per calendar year, for delivery in each calendar quarter of the year. Each order shall specify a business day delivery date for each delivery, which shall be not less than three months after the order date. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties in any

			particular case the number of deliveries shall be limited to four per year. IDEXX shall order quantities for delivery in any quarter in accordance with its good faith estimates of actual demand, with allowance for reasonable inventory management requirements and consistent with IDEXX’s stated desire to minimize its inventory levels.

			Order and delivery of the VETTEST tips shall be made in multiples of 10,000 tips (20 cartons each containing 500 tips). Unless otherwise agreed between the parties in any particular case, the number of orders and deliveries of the VETTEST tips and Vetrols shall be limited to two in each year. OCD shall deliver the VETTEST tips and Vetrols in the ordered quantities in each year.

	5.04		Not later than October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2003, IDEXX shall notify OCD of the aggregate forecasted requirements of IDEXX for the subsequent calendar year for each of the VETTEST slides (single slides and PANELS/PROFILES slides for the VETTEST Analyzer and New Slides) (each such notification, an “Annual Purchase Forecast”). The aggregate order quantities in the subsequent year for each of the VETTEST slides shall be within ±25% of such aggregate Annual Purchase Forecast unless the parties otherwise agree. As long as slide orders do not exceed the applicable Annual Purchase Forecast by more than 25%, OCD shall deliver the slides in accordance with the orders. The Annual Purchase Forecasts constitute non-binding forecasts for OCD’s planning purposes and shall also be the basis for determining estimated slide pricing pursuant to Section 7.02 below and the cash rebate pursuant to Section 7.03 below.

			In addition to the Annual Purchase Forecast, IDEXX shall furnish to OCD updated quarterly forecasts of the aggregate requirements of IDEXX for VETTEST slides in the four succeeding calendar quarters. The parties understand that such forecasts are merely estimates to assist OCD in production planning and are not to be considered orders or binding in any way.

			The parties shall further coordinate with one another to keep OCD apprised of IDEXX’s current and anticipated inventories of stock keeping units and relevant conditions in the veterinary market. The provisions of this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon delivery by OCD of a notice of termination of Section 9.04.

	5.05		In the event that IDEXX in any year notifies OCD that it wishes to order quantities which exceed the quantities mentioned in Section 5.04 above by more than 25%, OCD will endeavor to supply the excess quantities and notify IDEXX of the extent of its ability to so supply.

	5.06		It is understood and agreed that orders for the VETTEST slides shall include only those chemistries set forth in Schedule 5 hereto, as amended from time to time by

			agreement of the parties. IDEXX may at any time request that the additional chemistries listed on Schedule 8 hereof, in the form they are available at the Commencement Date to the human market on VITROS slides, be added as VETTEST slides to Schedule 5 (any VETTEST slides so added, containing such additional chemistries, are referred to herein as “New Chemistry Slides”). Prior to adding a New Chemistry Slide on Schedule 5, the parties will negotiate in good faith to determine the initial price for such slides in accordance with the immediately following paragraph and shall set forth such price on Schedule 6. IDEXX shall have the right, from time to time, to elect to remove any New Chemistry Slides from Schedule 5, and Schedule 5 and Schedule 6 shall be updated to reflect such removal. IDEXX acknowledges that neither this nor any other provision of this Agreement shall obligate OCD to supply IDEXX with any slide or other product based on any technology that is not incorporated in the VITROS slides or VETTEST slides that OCD sells as of the date hereof.

			Until [], the price per slide for any New Chemistry Slides shall be the greater of $[] and [] (as determined by OCD in good faith and taking into account IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s good faith forecast for the quantity of the chemistry in question). For orders placed for delivery during each calendar year beginning with [], if [] of any New Chemistry Slide is determined to be greater than $[] (as determined by OCD in good faith and taking into account IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s good faith forecast for the quantity of the chemistry in question), then the minimum price per slide for such New Chemistry Slides shall be []; provided, that so long as IDEXX and IDEXX BV order [] or more of such slides in the aggregate in any calendar year, the minimum price per slide for such New Chemistry Slides shall not exceed $[]. OCD shall have the right, from time to time and in good faith, to revise its determination of [] of any New Chemistry Slide that is priced on Schedule 6 if IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s aggregate actual annual orders of such slide fall below [], and Schedule 6 shall be updated to reflect such revised [].

			In the event that a chemistry listed in Schedule 5 should become known by OCD to be unavailable at any future date during the Term, OCD will so notify IDEXX at the earliest practicable date, and the parties shall cooperate to determine an appropriate course of action.

DELIVERY

6.01

Following acknowledgement by OCD of each order placed by IDEXX and on or before the delivery due date, OCD shall complete delivery of the appropriate quantity of slides and tips within ± 10%. Deviations of delivery quantities from order quantities within the ± 10% range may be compensated by IDEXX in the first subsequent order placed, subject to Section 5. In the event of a price increase for one or more of the VETTEST slides, such compensating quantity of such slides shall be processed at the previous lower price.

	6.02		Order and delivery for all purchases hereunder shall be F.O.B. OCD’s facility in the U.S.A.

	6.03		Unless otherwise advised in writing by OCD to IDEXX, OCD shall pack the VETTEST slides in accordance with OCD’s standard shipping configuration which is known to IDEXX and which at the Commencement Date contains approximately 60 cases per pallet, each case containing 100 boxes of slides.

	6.04		The parties shall reasonably cooperate to identify and implement potential savings for both parties, consistent with the principles of lean manufacturing across the value chain, in all processes in their relationship, including without limitation improvements relating to slide manufacturing, packaging, ordering, build schedules, component purchasing, delivery schedules, quality testing and calibration processes, and product distribution processes (including direct shipment to IDEXX distributors and end-users), and including without limitation, identifying and implementing processes to reduce the number of slide lots supplied to IDEXX and to reduce IDEXX calibration time; provided, that neither party shall be obligated to implement a process change for which its net costs exceed its net benefits.

PRICES

7.01

Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.08 and 4.02 that contemplate OCD’s delivery of slides in 50-count cartridges if IDEXX elects to format and/or package slides independently, all references to pricing for VETTEST slides in this agreement refer to the completed and packaged product in form ready for delivery to an end-user. The initial prices for each of the VETTEST slides (including the PANELS/ PROFILES) shall be as set forth in Schedule 5 hereto. Such prices are broken out to provide prices for each individual product code for the following geographic regions (additional regions may be added, and changes within regions may be agreed to, from time to time in writing by the parties):

US—United States, Canada and all other countries not identified in this Section 7.01;

Asian—Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Viet Nam.

Australia/New Zealand

IDEXX agrees that OCD may audit IDEXX’s books and records to verify sales of VETTEST slides in any region.

7.02

(a) The prices set forth in Schedule 5 shall remain in effect for orders placed through December 31, [**].

(b) For orders placed for delivery during each calendar year beginning with [**], the price for each VETTEST slide listed on Schedule 5 (whether New Slides, single chemistry VETTEST slides for the VETTEST Analyzer, or per slide in PANELS/PROFILES, and, for avoidance of doubt, including New Chemistry Slides, subject to Section 5.06), within the respective volume tiers set forth below (aggregating for this purpose purchases by IDEXX and IDEXX BV) shall be as set forth for such volume tier; provided, that Existing Special [**] Slides and New Special [**] Slides shall not be priced by reference to the volume tiers but will be priced as otherwise set forth below. For purposes of determining purchase volumes, up to [**] Existing Special [**] Slides shall be included in the determination, and all other Existing Special [**] Slides and New Special [**] Slides shall be excluded from the determination. The stated price shall apply only to slides purchased within the corresponding volume tier, and only with respect to the quantities within such tier.


Annual Volume Tier	Price per Slide

Tier 1: Up to [**]	$	[**]
Tier 2: In excess of [], but not exceeding []	$	[**]
Tier 3: In excess of [**]	$	[**]

			For all orders for Existing Special [**] Slides, the price per slide shall be as agreed between the parties pursuant to Section 4 of the Operations Agreement.

			For all orders for New Special [**] Slides, the price per slide shall be as agreed between the parties pursuant to Section 7.04 of this Agreement.

			Notwithstanding the foregoing, the price per slide for any New Chemistry Slide that is priced on Schedule 6 shall never be lower than the greater of (a) the minimum price as determined in accordance with Section 5.06 and identified on Schedule 6 as amended from time to time and (b) the price that would otherwise apply pursuant to the pricing tiers set forth above.

			Promptly after IDEXX and IDEXX BV provide their aggregate Annual Purchase Forecast for a calendar year pursuant to Section 5.04 and Section 5.04 of the Europe Agreement, the parties shall calculate the weighted average price of slides included in such forecast (the “First Estimated Blended Price”).

			Upon determination of the First Estimated Blended Price applicable to a calendar year, for each order placed by IDEXX for delivery during the first three calendar quarters of such year, the amount invoiced and paid per slide listed on Schedule 5 shall be the First Estimated Blended Price.

			Before IDEXX places its order for the fourth calendar quarter of the year, the parties shall review IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s respective fourth-quarter orders and re-calculate the weighted average price of slides based on IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s aggregate actual orders for the first three quarters and their orders for the fourth quarter (the “Second Estimated Blended Price”). If the Second Estimated Blended Price is different than the First Estimated Blended Price, the amount invoiced and paid per slide listed on Schedule 5 shall be the Second Estimated Blended Price. In addition, either party may calculate the resulting adjustment (up or down) for each slide delivered for the first three quarters to reflect the difference between the First Estimated Blended Price and the Second Estimated Blended Price, such that the amount paid by IDEXX for all slides delivered during the first three calendar quarters shall equal the Second Estimated Blended Price. If the adjustment is an upwards adjustment, then IDEXX shall pay OCD the aggregate amount of such adjustment, together with interest on such amount (calculated as set forth below), within 30 days of OCD’s request for such payment. If the adjustment is a downwards adjustment, then OCD shall pay IDEXX the aggregate amount of such adjustment, together with interest on such amount (calculated as set forth below), within 30 days of IDEXX’s request for such payment (or, at IDEXX’s option, apply such amount as a credit against IDEXX’s third or fourth quarter invoice).

			Within 30 days after the end of the year (or 30 days after IDEXX and IDEXX BV complete payment in full for all slides purchased during the year, if later), the parties shall perform a final calculation of the weighted average price based on all slides ordered by IDEXX and IDEXX BV and delivered during the year (the “Final Blended Price”). If the Final Blended Price is different than the Second Estimated Blended Price, then IDEXX or OCD, as the case may be, shall make a final payment to the other, so that the final amount paid by IDEXX per slide for all slides ordered and delivered during the year shall equal the Final Blended Price. The party obligated to make such final payment shall do so within 30 days after the determination of the Final Blended Price.

			Any adjustment payments made pursuant to either of the immediately preceding paragraphs, and any overdue payments by OCD or IDEXX of any amounts owed to the other pursuant to this Section 7.02, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate. Such interest shall be calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed since the due date for the applicable payment to which it relates.

For avoidance of doubt, the blended price calculations of this Section 7.02 shall apply only to chemistries listed on Schedule 5, and only after calendar year [**].

			(c) OCD may, at its option, increase all prices for slides ordered for delivery (i) on or after January 1, [] by an amount not to exceed []% of the “PPI Increase” (as defined below), provided that OCD may not increase prices under this clause (i) unless the PPI Increase is greater than []%; and (ii) on or after January 1, []by an amount (x) as provided in the preceding clause (i) or (y) by an amount not to exceed []% of the PPI Increase, provided that OCD may not increase prices under this subclause (y) unless the PPI Increase is greater than []%. OCD may calculate the PPI Increase each year beginning in [], and any resulting price increase shall be effective for orders placed for delivery during the following calendar year and thereafter, unless and until increased again in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph. For purposes of this Agreement, the “PPI Increase” shall be calculated by dividing (x) the average monthly “PPI” level for the most recent 12-month period ending with and including June of the year in which the PPI Increase is being calculated (each such period, a “Measurement Period”), by (y) the average monthly PPI level for the 12-month period immediately preceding that described in clause (x) (the “Baseline Period” with respect to such Measurement Period), then subtracting 1 and converting the remaining fraction into a percentage. All calculations shall be based on the latest version of the PPI level published as of the date the calculation is made. For purposes of this Agreement, “PPI” means the United States Producer Price Index – [] (not seasonally adjusted), current series identification [*], as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on its Web site (xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx), or if not available from such Web site, then as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in its monthly periodical “Producer Price Indexes*.” OCD shall give IDEXX written notice of any price increase pursuant to this paragraph 7.02(c) at least 120 days before the beginning of the calendar year for which a price increase is to take effect; otherwise, the prices shall remain unaffected by such increase for such year.

			(d) With respect to slides ordered for delivery on or after January 1, [], if OCD’s aggregate cost of [] (as defined below) for the most recent Measurement Period has increased on a per VETTEST slide basis as compared with the applicable Baseline Period by an amount that exceeds the PPI Increase for such Measurement Period as applied to the [] for such Baseline Period, on a per VETTEST slide basis, then OCD shall be permitted to increase the price of each slide sold to IDEXX by the amount of such excess. “[]” means [] that are []. Schedule 9 attached hereto contains an example, for illustration purposes only, of the calculations described in this paragraph 7.02(d) and in paragraph 7.02(e).

			(e) With respect to slides ordered for delivery on or after January 1, [**], if IDEXX’s share of Special Event Costs (as defined below) for the most recent

			Measurement Period has increased on a per VETTEST slide basis as compared with the applicable Baseline Period by an amount that exceeds [] above the PPI Increase for such Measurement Period as applied to IDEXX’s share of Special Event Costs for such Baseline Period, on a per VETTEST slide basis, then OCD shall be permitted to increase the price of each slide sold to IDEXX by the amount of such excess. “Special Event Costs” means the aggregate net amount of (i) [] with respect to [] on which [], (ii) [] in the [], and (iii) [] as a result of []. “IDEXX’s share” of any of the foregoing shall mean the [] that is attributable to the [].

			(f) OCD shall give IDEXX written notice of any price increase pursuant to paragraph 7.02(d) or 7.02(e) at least 120 days before the beginning of the calendar year for which a price increase is to take effect; otherwise, the prices shall remain unaffected by such increase for such year. Any price increase pursuant to paragraph 7.02(d) or 7.02(e) shall be effective for orders placed for delivery during the following calendar year and thereafter, unless and until (i) increased again in accordance with the procedures set forth in such paragraphs or (ii) there occurs a decrease in any of the costs upon which the price increase was based (or any such cost that was relevant in one measuring period is not relevant in subsequent periods, for example, certain validation or other one-time costs incurred for compliance purposes), in which event IDEXX’s price per slide shall be reduced to the extent of such decrease (or one-time cost). In addition, OCD agrees to consider in good faith any request by IDEXX to reimburse OCD pursuant to paragraph 7.02(e) by a process other than an increase in slide prices, such as a lump sum payment or series of payments. Furthermore, with respect to any one-time cost or other temporary cost lasting no more than one year, IDEXX shall have the right to make such reimbursement in equal periodic payments (no less frequently than quarterly) over a period that is no longer than one year.

			(g) OCD shall give IDEXX reasonable detail as to its incremental [**] costs and incremental Special Event Costs on which it seeks to base a price increase pursuant to paragraph 7.02(d) or 7.02(e) or otherwise pass on to IDEXX pursuant to paragraph 7.02(f); provided, however, that IDEXX shall not have any right to obtain any details concerning OCD’s actual costs (other than such incremental cost differences used in such calculation).

			(h) At any time after OCD’s aggregate annual sales volume of VITROS slides and VETTEST slides shall have declined more than []% from [], the parties shall, at OCD’s request, discuss appropriate pricing of slides under this Agreement. Neither party shall be obligated to agree to any price change under this Section 7.02(h).

			(i) OCD agrees that IDEXX shall have the right, no more than once per calendar year, to cause a nationally recognized independent accounting firm to conduct an audit, on reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours,

			of OCD’s books and records to the extent reasonably necessary to confirm OCD’s price increase calculations under this Section 7.02. Any report prepared by such independent accounting firm shall contain such firm’s conclusion concerning the validity of OCD’s price increase; provided, however, that such report shall not contain, and IDEXX shall not have any right to obtain, any details concerning OCD’s actual costs (other than incremental cost differences used in the calculation of OCD price increases).

			(j) IDEXX agrees that OCD may audit IDEXX’s books and records relating to orders of VETTEST slides to confirm the pricing calculations under this Section 7.02.

7.03

The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall apply only to purchases of VETTEST slides for the VETTEST Analyzer during calendar years [**]. IDEXX shall be entitled to receive its Proportionate Share (based on sales during a calendar year) of a cash rebate in the amount set forth below if the total aggregate slide purchases by IDEXX and IDEXX BV, in calendar year [**], exceed the aggregate quantities set forth below:


			Incremental Cash Rebate –
Annual Slide Purchases			% Off Purchase Price
	0	[**]		[**]	%
		[**]		[**]	%
		[**]		[**]	%
		[**]		[**]	%
		[**]		[**]	%
		[**]		[**]	%
[**] and above				[**]	%

The rebate amounts set forth above constitute a percentage reduction in the purchase price of any slides (including both single slides and PANELS/PROFILES slides) purchased above the corresponding quantity. The percentage amounts are incremental (as opposed to cumulative) and relate only to the quantities set forth opposite it. For example, if IDEXX and IDEXX BV were to purchase, in the aggregate, [**] slides in calendar year [**], they would not be entitled to a [**]% price reduction on all slides that they purchased in such year, rather, they would be entitled to receive (i) [**] purchase price reduction on the first [**] slides purchased, (ii) a [**]% purchase price reduction on all slides purchased over [**], up to and including [**], (iii) an [**]% purchase price reduction on all slides purchased over [**] up to and including [**], and (iv) a [**]% purchase price reduction on all slides purchased over [**] up to and including the [**] slides that they purchased. The foregoing notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that if IDEXX and IDEXX BV do not, in the aggregate, achieve the aggregate Purchase Commitments set forth in Section 5 in any calendar year, then they shall not be entitled to receive a rebate for such year.

			In the beginning of calendar year [], OCD shall calculate an estimated Effective Rebate Rate (the “Estimated Rebate Rate”) based on the lesser of (i) IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s aggregate Annual Purchase Forecast for such year and (ii) []% of the total aggregate number of slides that IDEXX and IDEXX BV together purchased in []. The Estimated Rebate Rate for calendar year [] shall be such that the average VETTEST slide price for [], after giving effect to the rebate, shall be $[]. Not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each of the first three calendar quarters of [] (or thirty days after IDEXX and IDEXX BV complete payment in full for slides purchased during such quarter, if later), OCD shall pay to IDEXX its Proportionate Share (based on purchases during the preceding quarter) of an amount equal to the aggregate estimated rebate payment that IDEXX and IDEXX BV would together be entitled to receive in such quarter (the “Estimated Rebate Payment”). The Estimated Rebate Payment for any such quarter shall be calculated by (i) multiplying the Estimated Rebate Rate in effect during such quarter by the total aggregate purchase price for the VETTEST slides purchased by IDEXX and IDEXX BV during such quarter and (ii) subtracting from such amount an amount equal to []% of the total calculated in clause (i) above. The foregoing notwithstanding, if, in calendar year [], (i) IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s total aggregate slide orders for the immediately preceding calendar year were less than []% of their aggregate Annual Purchase Forecast for such preceding calendar year or (ii) OCD determines, in its reasonable discretion, at any time after the end of the second calendar quarter of such calendar year, or IDEXX indicates at any time, that IDEXX and IDEXX BV are reasonably unlikely to meet their aggregate Annual Purchase Forecast for such year, then OCD shall have the right to recalculate the Estimated Rebate Rate based on IDEXX’s and IDEXX BV’s aggregate Purchase Commitment for such year (such recalculated rate being hereinafter referred to as the “New Estimated Rebate Rate”). If OCD elects to recalculate the Estimated Rebate Rate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) OCD shall notify IDEXX in writing which notice shall set forth the New Estimated Rebate Rate, (ii) OCD shall calculate all remaining quarterly Estimated Rebate Payments (which may include the Estimated Rebate Payment for the second calendar quarter) using the New Estimated Rebate Rate and (iii) all such Estimated Rebate Payments shall be made in accordance with this sub-clause 7.03, except that such Estimated Rebate Payments shall be less the amount by which the aggregate Estimated Rebate Payments received by IDEXX and IDEXX BV during the then current calendar year exceed the aggregate Estimated Rebate Payments they would have received during such calendar year if the New Estimated Rebate Rate were in effect from the first day of such calendar year.

			Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, OCD shall not be required to pay to IDEXX its Proportionate Share of any Estimated Rebate Payments in any calendar year if (A) any amounts payable to OCD from IDEXX pursuant to this Agreement are overdue, unless such amounts are being disputed

			in good faith by IDEXX, or (B) OCD determines in its reasonable judgment that IDEXX and IDEXX BV are reasonably unlikely to meet their aggregate Purchase Commitments for such year. In the case of clause (B) above, OCD shall have the right to make such determination at any time after the end of the second calendar quarter of calendar year [**], as the case may be (or such earlier time as IDEXX or IDEXX BV indicates (through an Annual Purchase Forecast or otherwise) that their aggregate slide purchases are reasonably likely to be less than their aggregate Purchase Commitment for such year), provided that OCD has consulted with IDEXX and given IDEXX an opportunity (which opportunity shall be available for a period of not less than 5 business days nor more than 10 business days) to demonstrate its and IDEXX BV’s intent and ability to meet their aggregate Purchase Commitments for such year. For the avoidance of doubt, OCD’s obligation to make any Estimated Rebate Payments shall be suspended during the period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and the days in such period shall not be counted when determining the date by which the next scheduled Estimated Rebate Payment is due and payable. If, after fulfilling the requirements set forth in this paragraph, OCD makes the determination described in clause (B) above, OCD (i) shall promptly notify IDEXX in writing of its determination and (ii) shall thereafter have the right to cease making Estimated Rebate Payments for the remainder of such calendar year.

			Not later than thirty (30) business days after the end of the last calendar quarter of calendar year [**], as the case may be (or thirty days after IDEXX and IDEXX BV complete payment in full for slides purchased during such quarter, if later), OCD shall pay to IDEXX its Proportionate Share (based on purchases during such calendar year) of the amount by which (i) the Effective Rebate Rate multiplied by the total aggregate purchase price for VETTEST slides purchased by IDEXX and IDEXX BV during such calendar year exceeds (ii) the total aggregate amount of the Estimated Rebate Payments made by OCD to IDEXX and IDEXX BV during such calendar year. If the amount in clause (ii) above exceeds the amount in clause (i) above, OCD shall deliver to IDEXX a written notice of such fact (a “Reimbursement Notice”) and IDEXX shall pay to OCD, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice an amount in cash equal to its Proportionate Share of the amount of such excess.

			Notwithstanding the foregoing, if IDEXX and IDEXX BV do not achieve their aggregate Purchase Commitment in calendar year [**], as the case may be, then IDEXX shall return all Estimated Rebate Payments received from OCD for such year no later than thirty (30) days after the end of such calendar year.

			An illustrative representation of the foregoing rebate calculation methodology is attached hereto as Schedule 7.

			Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.03, if any amounts payable to OCD from IDEXX pursuant to this Agreement are overdue, other than amounts

			that are being disputed in good faith by IDEXX, then OCD shall be entitled to withhold such overdue amount (plus any accrued interest) from any rebate payments to which IDEXX may be entitled. Any overdue payments by OCD or IDEXX of any amounts owed to the other pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

			OCD shall prepare a remittance advice to accompany each rebate payment (or Reimbursement Notice), which shall set forth the reporting period for which the payment is made (or demanded) and a summary sheet which shall detail OCD’s calculation of the rebate (or reimbursement). If IDEXX disagrees with the rebate or reimbursement calculation, IDEXX shall promptly notify OCD, and the parties, together with IDEXX BV if appropriate, shall review the calculations together in good faith to agree on any appropriate corrections or adjustments.

			Any Special [**] Slides and any New Chemistry Slides shall be excluded from the determination of any rebate entitlement under Section 7.03 of this Agreement or the Europe Agreement, as the case may be, and the rebates described in Section 7.03 shall not apply to such slides.

	7.04		If IDEXX provides OCD with specific documentation regarding [] that would require IDEXX and IDEXX BV, collectively, to purchase, in any calendar year, a number of slides over and above their most recent aggregate Annual Purchase Forecast for such year, [] for slides, [] for slides [] by this Agreement, OCD agrees, within two weeks of its receipt of all additional information that OCD may reasonably request regarding such [], to inform IDEXX as to whether or not OCD [] in respect of [], the number of slides [] for such slides, and any other related terms and conditions that OCD deems applicable. OCD shall consider such requests in good faith. OCD agrees that [] IDEXX or IDEXX BV pursuant to [], remain in effect with respect to [] until such time as [], as the case may be.

INVOICES AND PAYMENT

8.01

OCD shall invoice IDEXX in respect of each order for the VETTEST slides upon completion by OCD of the delivery of such order. Each order shall be billed by OCD under one invoice in US dollars and payment shall be made by IDEXX in US dollars not later than thirty (30) days following the date of invoice.

EXCLUSIVITY

9.01

OCD undertakes not to sell or otherwise supply, and to cause its affiliates not to sell or otherwise supply, any Dry Slides (whether or not such slides are finished or complete) bar-coded for use in any Analyzers to any person, firm or company

			other than IDEXX or its affiliates. The provisions of this Section 9.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement unless all of the following shall be true: (i) prior to such termination IDEXX (or its permitted assignees) and its affiliates shall have ceased to market the VETTEST slides, (ii) such cessation shall not have been a consequence of action by OCD, and (iii) OCD shall have complied with its obligations under this Agreement prior to such termination.

	9.02		IDEXX undertakes not to market, and to cause its affiliates not to market, any Dry Slide for any chemistry identified on Schedule 5, as amended from time to time, other than Dry Slides obtained by such person directly from OCD, to the extent that the desired chemistries are available from OCD; provided that, for purposes of adjusting inventory levels according to unanticipated changes in regional demand, IDEXX may purchase from IDEXX BV VETTEST slides that IDEXX BV obtained directly from OCD.

	9.03		(a) In consideration of the mutual obligations and commitments of the parties, IDEXX shall not actively promote, and shall cause IDEXX Parent and the other persons listed on Schedule 11 not to actively promote, the sale within the Exclusivity Territory of any Dry Slide for any chemistry identified on Schedule 5, as amended from time to time, or any instruments for use with any such Dry Slides, to any person (other than OCD and its affiliates) other than for use in the field of diagnostic testing of non-human animals. IDEXX may in its discretion terminate this provision at any time on [] years’ prior written notice to OCD; provided that such notice may not be delivered until after June 30, [].

(b) Should OCD sell or cause to be sold for use in the field of diagnostic testing of non-human animals any product whose scope includes four or more of the chemistries identified on Schedule 5, then IDEXX may, in its sole discretion, terminate the provisions of Section 9.03(a) immediately upon written notice to OCD. If IDEXX delivers such notice of termination of Section 9.03(a) under this Section 9.03(b), then OCD may in its discretion terminate the provisions of Section 9.04(a) of this Agreement immediately upon written notice to IDEXX.

9.04

(a) In consideration of the mutual obligations and commitments of the parties, OCD shall not actively promote, and shall cause the other persons (which for purposes of this clause may be divisions of OCD’s affiliates) listed on Schedule 12 not to actively promote, the sale within the Exclusivity Territory of any Dry Slide for any chemistry identified on Schedule 5, as amended from time to time, or any instruments for use with any such Dry Slides, to any person (other than IDEXX and its affiliates) for use in the field of diagnostic testing of non-human animals; provided that this provision shall not apply to (i) any instruments weighing more than 200 pounds, or to any slides sold for use on such instruments, unless and until the parties have executed the distribution agreement contemplated by Section 10.04 hereof and (ii) Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics K.K. until January 1, 2004. OCD may in its discretion terminate this provision at any time on [**]

years’ prior written notice to IDEXX; provided that such notice may not be delivered until after June 30, [**]. The minimum purchase obligations of IDEXX shall terminate upon delivery of such a notice of termination.

			(b) Should IDEXX fail to sell at least [] units of the New Analyzer before December 31, [], then OCD may in its discretion terminate the provisions of Section 9.04(a) immediately upon written notice to IDEXX delivered after December 31, []; provided, that if OCD does not deliver such notice before IDEXX sells [] units of the New Analyzer, then the provisions of this Section 9.04(b) shall be of no further effect. If IDEXX can demonstrate that it has expended in excess of $[] on the development of the New Analyzer from the Effective Date through December 31, [], then IDEXX shall be given an additional [] to sell the requisite [] units of the New Analyzer. If OCD delivers such notice of termination of Section 9.04(a) under this Section 9.04(b), then IDEXX may in its discretion terminate the provisions of Section 9.03 of this Agreement immediately upon written notice to OCD.

			(c) Should IDEXX sell or cause to be sold for use in the field of diagnostic testing of non-human animals any product, other than the New Analyzer, whose scope includes four or more of the chemistries identified on Schedule 5, then OCD may, in its sole discretion, terminate the provisions of Section 9.04(a) immediately upon written notice to IDEXX. If OCD delivers such notice of termination of Section 9.04(a) under this Section 9.04(c), then IDEXX may in its discretion terminate the provisions of Section 9.03(a) of this Agreement immediately upon written notice to OCD.

			(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.04, OCD and its affiliates shall continue to have the right to sell, directly or through distributors, VITROS analyzers and VITROS slides to all persons that are current VITROS end-user customers as of the Commencement Date, and to renew or extend the term of any contracts with such end-user customers or, solely for the purpose of sales to such end-user customers, with such distributors.

	9.05		OCD shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) ensure that no OCD Dry Slides (including without limitation VITROS slides to which bar coding for use in any Analyzer has been added) are supplied, marketed, distributed or sold, by anyone other than IDEXX or its affiliates and their respective authorized distributors, for use in the Analyzers and (ii) promptly enjoin or otherwise terminate any such supplying, marketing, distribution or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OCD’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts for the purposes of this Section 9.05 shall not include any obligation to reduce non-VETTEST VITROS slide prices.

			OCD shall, where permitted by applicable law, use commercially reasonable efforts to include a provision in future supply and distributor contracts, that if a

			customer opens a mainframe slide cartridge and otherwise repackages or modifies OCD slides for a use other than for which the slides are sold by OCD, such activity, if not ceased upon notice, shall give OCD the right to terminate such contract.

Schedule 1 – VetTest® Slide Quality Assurance Procedures

VETTEST Slides for the VETTEST Analyzer:

Introduction

The following procedure constitutes a generic overview of the quality assurance provisions for finishing of VITROS slides and applies in like manner to product release for the VETTEST slides.

VETTEST Slide Quality Assurance

VETTEST slides will be produced to the same quality standards as VITROS and DT 60 slides for OCD’s human market unless otherwise agreed to by IDEXX.

Bar Coding

Bar code printing on the VETTEST slides will render the VETTEST slides incompatible with use in VITROS analyzers. OCD will reserve certain number sequences for generation of the bar code patterns on the VETTEST slides.

New Slides:

Specifications to be determined by IDEXX as part of the Development Program and, together with quality assurance procedures, reasonably agreed in writing by the parties for purposes of this Schedule 1.

Schedule 2

Section 1. Obligation to Keep Information Confidential. Each party agrees to hold, and to cause its respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence the terms of the Agreements, and all documents and information concerning the other party, whether oral or written, furnished or made known to such party in connection with either of the Agreements or any project or discussion under, or related to, either of the Agreements; provided that no party shall be required to keep any information confidential (i) if such party is compelled to disclose such information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law (including without limitation the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and such party has provided prior written notice to the other party and given such other party reasonable opportunity to contest disclosure or (ii) to the extent such information can be shown to have been (A) previously known to such party on a nonconfidential basis, (B) in the public domain through no fault of such party, (C) later lawfully acquired from a third party source or (D) independently developed by such party without reference to confidential information. The foregoing notwithstanding, any party may disclose information concerning the other party or the Agreements to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents in connection with its performance of this Agreement so long as such persons are informed by such party of the confidential nature of such information and are directed by such party to treat such information confidentially, it being understood and agreed that such party shall be responsible for any failure to treat such information confidentially by such persons. The obligation of each party to hold any information in confidence shall be satisfied if it exercises the same care with respect to such information as it would to preserve the confidentiality of its own similar information. The confidentiality provisions of this Schedule 2 shall remain in effect for so long as this Agreement is in effect and for a period of three (3) years thereafter.

Section 2. Public Announcements. No party to this Agreement shall originate any news release or other public announcement, written or oral, relating to this Agreement or the Europe Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other party, except to the extent such news release or other public announcement is required by law; provided that in the event an announcement is required by law, the party issuing same shall still be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party or parties named or referred to in such announcement prior to its release as the circumstances reasonably permit, in order to allow such other party or parties to comment on the use of their names or the references to them and, after its release, shall provide such other party or parties with a copy thereof. If a party has previously reviewed and approved a public announcement, its further approval shall not be required with respect to those provisions of subsequent announcements that are substantially similar in scope and substance to provisions that have been previously approved. In no event shall IDEXX or IDEXX Parent use the name “Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx” or “J&J” in any publicity relating to this Agreement or the Europe Agreement, whether written or oral, other than to state that OCD is “a Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx company” or a (wholly-owned) subsidiary of Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx.

Schedule 6 – Minimum Prices for New Chemistries

Schedule 7 - Illustrative Rebate Calculations

The Estimated Rebate Payments will be calculated for each of the first three calendar quarters using the Effective Rebate Rate, as described more fully in sub-clause 7.03 of the Agreement. Any required adjustments will be made at the end of the fourth calendar quarter, in accordance with sub-clause 7.03 of the Agreement.

Example: The aggregate Annual Purchase Forecast for IDEXX and IDEXX BV in a given year is [**] slides; pricing is $[**]/slide; blended rebate percentage rate is [**]%, as follows:

		[*] slides []% = [] slides

		[*] slides []% = [] slides

		[*] slides []% = [] slides

		[*] slides []% = [] slides

		[*] slides []% = [] slides

		Total Slides Eligible for Rebate = [**] slides

		Effective Rebate = Total slides eligible for rebate / total purchases = [] = []%

Actual aggregate volume purchased by IDEXX and IDEXX BV equals volume projected at the beginning of the year.
