New Product (which offer shall specify that failure by AP Biotech to accept such
offer will result in the loss by AP Biotech of its rights to distribute such New
Product under the terms of this Agreement), together with a reasonable number of

network shall be limited to communications through the EDIS relating to AP

modify AP Biotech's communications network to limit Newco's access in
accordance with this SCHEDULE 3(b) (the "AP Biotech EDIS Modification
Charges"); provided, however, that in no event shall Newco's one-half portion
of the AP Biotech EDIS Modification Charges exceed $21,000 in the aggregate
without the prior mutual agreement of the parties. If at any time while this
Agreement is in effect, AP Biotech ceases providing Newco with access to the
EDIS, AP Biotech shall refund to Newco the full amount of the AP Biotech EDIS
Modification Charges paid by Newco in accordance with the previous sentence. AP
Biotech shall keep Newco informed in writing of any anticipated changes in the
EDIS in sufficient time to allow Newco to make any changes necessary to continue
using the EDIS in an effective manner. In addition, each party shall pay
one-half of any documented third party out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred
to modify Newco's communications network to limit AP Biotech's access (the
"Newco EDIS Modification Charges"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall AP
Biotech's one-half portion of the Newco EDIS Modification Charges exceed 5,000
GBP in the aggregate without the prior written agreement of the parties.
Furthermore, AP Biotech shall be responsible for training Newco's employees in
the use of such modified EDIS. Each party shall pay one-half of any documented
costs relating to such training; provided, however, that in no event shall
Newco's one-half portion of such costs exceed $2,500 in the aggregate without
the prior written agreement of the parties. To the extent of any inconsistency
in terms between the EDIS and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail.

      (c) Each purchase order shall specify: (i) the Current Products or New
Products, including quantity of each, to be purchased by AP Biotech, (ii)
instructions for delivery, and (iii) the delivery date therefor, subject to
Section 6(b) hereof. In the event the parties agree for a purchase order to be
placed through the EDIS in accordance with paragraph (b) above, no charge to
Newco for the use of the EDIS shall be made.

      (d) The parties expressly agree that nothing contained in this Section 3

in GBP. Products delivered by Newco to AP Biotech shall be billed at the
purchase price in effect for such Products at the time that the order therefor
is placed if the delivery date is within thirty (30) days of the order date. If
the delivery date is more than thirty (30) days from the order date then the

      (b) Subsequent price lists for the Current Products and the New Products

      (c) For each of Year Two and Year Three, Newco may, in its sole
discretion, increase the prices of Products sold to AP Biotech which are then in
Newco's product line by up to four percent (4%). Price increases in excess of
four percent (4%) may be made only by agreement with AP Biotech. Any price
increase in excess of four percent (4%) will be negotiated in good faith by the
parties.

      (d) Intentionally Omitted.

      (e) Prior to Newco's establishing the prices for New Products to be sold
by Newco to AP Biotech, Newco shall consult with AP Biotech and shall undertake
the Price Comparison Process (as defined below) if made necessary by AP
Biotech's presenting Price Evidence (as defined below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
after such consultation and after undertaking the Price Comparison Process (if
necessary), Newco shall ultimately set such prices in its sole discretion. Newco
will provide a recommended end-user selling price for each New Product such that
New Products are priced competitively with the list price for products with
similar features sold by other companies (the "Comparable Products"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if AP Biotech presents meaningful written (as opposed to
anecdotal) evidence (the "Price Evidence") to Newco that the average selling
price to end-users of a particular Comparable Product is less than ninety
percent (90%) of the list price of such Comparable Product, then the list price
of such Comparable Product shall not be taken into account by Newco in
determining whether the end-user selling prices of the New Products are priced
competitively with the list prices of the Comparable Products (the foregoing
proviso being herein referred to as the "Price Comparison Process"). The price
at which Newco sells New Products to AP Biotech will be such recommended end
user selling price less thirty-five percent (35%). The prices at which Products
are sold by AP Biotech to its customers will be set by AP Biotech in its sole
discretion.

      SECTION 5. PAYMENT.

      (a) Payment of invoices shall be made in full by AP Biotech to Newco for

      (f) All prices quoted for Products in accordance with the provisions of

      SECTION 6. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY.

      (a) The Products sold by Newco to AP Biotech shall be shipped ex works
Newco's production facility located in Cambridge, England. The term "ex works"
as used in this Section 6(a) refers to Incoterms 1990.

      (b) Newco shall ship the Products for which it has received an order in
accordance with Section 3(b), Section 7(b) or Section 16(b)(ii)(B) hereof no
later than the date three (3) business days prior to the specified date for
delivery in the related purchase order, provided that such delivery date is not
less than thirty (30) days from the date Newco receives such order, if the order
is for spectrophotometers, and not less than ninety (90) days from the date
Newco receives such order, if the order is for AAA Products. If the delivery
date specified in the purchase order for spectrophotometers or AAA Products does
not comply with the respective timing requirements for the delivery of such
products detailed in the foregoing sentence, Newco may deem the delivery date
for such purchase order to be thirty (30) days, in the case of
spectrophotometers, and ninety (90) days, in the case of AAA Products, from the
date Newco received such purchase order and deliver such Products in accordance
with such schedule. AP Biotech shall be promptly notified in writing by Newco of
any anticipated delays in delivery of any of the Products.

      (c) In the event a customer of AP Biotech cancels an order for a Product
prior to shipment from Newco due to late delivery of that Product by Newco and
Newco has been notified of such cancellation in writing, AP Biotech shall not be
required to accept delivery of or pay for such Product. However, in the event
that the Product has been shipped prior to receiving such written notice, AP
Biotech shall be required to accept delivery of and pay for such Product.

      (d) Newco shall print its own catalog and lot numbers (if applicable) and
expiration dates (if applicable) conspicuously on outer shipping cartons of all
Products, as well as inner shelf packs and inner units of all multiple unit
packed Products.

      (e) Newco shall ship dated Products in such time that no less than
seventy-five percent (75%) of the manufactured shelf life will be remaining at

Newco. Newco shall accept return, for full invoice credit plus shipping
charges, of any dated Product shipped in breach of the provisions of this
Section.

      (f) Claims for shortage or damage during shipment may only be made to the
carrier.

      SECTION 7. MINIMUMS.

      For purposes of this Section 7, the term "purchase" and the term "sale,"
or any similar terms, and any derivations of such terms, shall refer to the
actual date of shipment of Products by Newco to AP Biotech or the actual date of
shipment of products by Newco to customers other than AP Biotech, as applicable.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7 to the contrary, AP Biotech
shall have no rights to distribute, market or sell any Products other than the
Current Products and New Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

      (a) During each Year, AP Biotech undertakes to purchase from Newco a
sufficient number of Products such that the aggregate purchase prices for such
Products shall be at least equal to the following:

            (i) For Year One, $12,535,000 (the "Year One Minimum"), reduced by
(A) $1,957,521 and (B) the USD value of all sales of Products made by Newco to
customers other than AP Biotech during Year One.

            (ii) For Year Two, the Year One Minimum increased by the amount of
the price increase for Year Two specified in Section 4(c), but not to exceed
four percent (4%) (the "Year Two Minimum") less the USD value of all sales of
Products made by Newco to customers other than AP Biotech during Year Two. If
the USD value of AP Biotech's purchases of Products from Newco in Year One
exceeds the Year One Minimum, then the Year Two Minimum shall be reduced by the
amount by which such purchases exceed the Year One Minimum.

            (iii) For Year Three, the Year Two Minimum increased by the
amount of the price increase for Year Three specified in Section 4(c), but
not to exceed four percent (4%) (the "Year Three Minimum") less the USD value
of all sales of Products made by Newco to customers other than AP Biotech
during Year Three. If the USD value of AP Biotech's purchases of Products
from Newco in Year Two exceeds the Year Two Minimum, then the Year Three
Minimum shall be reduced by the amount by which such purchases exceed the
Year Two Minimum.

      (b) The purchases of Products by AP Biotech from Newco for each of the
Year One Minimum, the Year Two Minimum and the Year Three Minimum shall be
distributed throughout the respective Years in the following manner: First
Quarter: 23.5%, Second Quarter 24.0%, Third Quarter 25.0% and Fourth Quarter
27.5% (each of which shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Quarterly Minimum");
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, (i) with respect to the First Quarter of Year One, the
Quarterly Minimum shall be equal to the product

of (A) the Daily Rate that would otherwise be in effect for the First Quarter
of Year One multiplied by (B) the number of days between the Closing Date and
the end of the First Quarter and (ii) with respect to the Year Three Tail
Period, the Quarterly Minimum shall be equal to the product of (X) the Daily
Rate for the First Quarter of Year Three multiplied by (Y) the number of days
contained in the Year Three Tail Period. If the USD value of purchases of AP
Biotech in any Quarter plus the USD value of purchases by all customers of
Newco other than AP Biotech in the same Quarter are less than the Quarterly
Minimum for that Quarter then AP Biotech will, within thirty (30) days of the
end of said Quarter, either: (i) place orders with Newco for Products in the
amount of the shortfall, with shipment of such Products to take place in
accordance with the time schedules set forth in Section 6(b) hereof;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Products so ordered by AP Biotech shall be
counted solely toward fulfillment of the Quarterly Minimum for the Quarter in
which such shortfall occurred and in no event shall the shipment of such
ordered Products in any following Quarter be counted toward the fulfillment
of the Quarterly Minimum in said following Quarter, or (ii) pay to Newco, by
wire transfer in immediately available USD funds to Newco's account set forth
in SCHEDULE 5(d) or such other account as Newco shall specify to AP Biotech
in writing, an amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the shortfall. If
the USD value of AP Biotech's purchases of Products in any Quarter exceeds
the Minimum for that Quarter, then the Quarterly Minimum for the following
Quarter shall be reduced by the amount by which such purchases exceed the
Quarterly Minimum for that Quarter.

      (c) Newco will provide a report to AP Biotech within ten (10) business
days of the end of each month showing the actual sales of all Products made by
Newco in that month, the cumulative amount of sales of all Products by Newco for
the relevant Quarter through the end of such month, the amount of sales of all
Products anticipated to be made by Newco to third parties during that Quarter,
and the amount of the estimated additional purchases by AP Biotech needed to
reach the Quarterly Minimum for that Quarter.

      (d) If the purchases by AP Biotech of Products from Newco exceed the
Year One Minimum in Year One or the Year Two Minimum in Year Two or the Year
Three Minimum in Year Three then AP Biotech will receive a credit against
future payments to Newco equal to four percent (4%) of the invoice amount for
the relevant Year in excess of the relevant Year Minimum.

      (e) Minimums payable by AP Biotech pursuant to Section 7(a) shall be
subject to the following:

            (i) The Minimum for any Quarter and for the Year shall be reduced by
the purchase price of (A) any order if such order is canceled by a customer
prior to shipment from Newco due to late delivery of that Product by Newco and
Newco has been notified of such cancellation in writing and (B) any Product that
is returned by AP Biotech to Newco as contemplated by Section 6(e) and no
replacement order is placed by AP Biotech for such Product.

            (ii) The Minimum for any Quarter and for the Year in which such
Quarter occurs shall be reduced by the purchase price of any Products sold by
Newco to AP Biotech in that Quarter or Year with respect to which Newco fails
to fulfill its obligations under Section 11(b) hereto (A) in the case of AAA
Products, within forty-five (45) days of receiving written notice from AP
Biotech as provided for in Section 11(b) or (B) in the case of all Products
other than AAA Products, within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice
from AP Biotech as provided for in Section 11(b) (either of clause (A) or (B)
being referred to herein as a "Section 11(b) Failure"). AP Biotech shall,
within thirty (30) days following the end of the Quarter in which such
Section 11(b) Failure occurs, notify Newco in writing that the Minimum for
that Quarter and for the Year in which such Quarter occurs has been reduced
in accordance with this Section 7(e)(ii); PROVIDED, that if AP Biotech does
not so notify Newco in such thirty (30) day period, AP Biotech shall be
deemed to have waived its rights to have such Minimums reduced under this
Section 7(e)(ii) with respect to that specific Section 11(b) Failure.

            (iii) In the event that: (A) twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the units shipped of a Product breaches the warranty provided by Newco in
Section 11(a) during any three (3) month period, (B) AP Biotech provides
written notice to Newco of such breach, which such written notice shall
reference this Section 7(e)(ii), and (C) AP Biotech ceases purchasing such
Product upon the expiration of said three (3) month period, then the
Quarterly Minimums shall be reduced by the purchase price of the amounts of
such Products set forth in AP Biotech's forecasts for each Year required by
Section 3(a) hereto for up to a maximum of two (2) full Quarters following
the end of the Quarter in which such three (3) month period expires, unless
prior to the expiration of such two (2) Quarter period, AP Biotech commences
placing orders with Newco for such Product which it had previously ceased
purchasing, in which case the Quarterly Minimum for the Quarter following the
Quarter in which AP Biotech places such orders and for each Quarter
thereafter shall be set at the level at which such Quarterly Minimum would
have been set under this Section 7 had such a reduction pursuant to this
Section 7(e)(iii) not occurred.

            (iv) In the event that the product currently known as "UltroSpec
3000+" (or such other substantially similar name to be determined by Newco)
shall not be introduced and available for delivery to AP Biotech under this
Agreement within the two hundred seventy (270) day period following the Closing
Date, then the Year One Minimum shall be reduced by the amount of $41,500 for
each whole thirty (30) day period for which such availability is delayed beyond
such two hundred seventy (270) day period.

            (v) In the event that the "GeneQuant Pro" shall not be introduced
and available for delivery to AP Biotech under this Agreement within the ninety
(90) day period following the Closing Date, then the Year One Minimum shall be
reduced by the amount of $83,000 for each whole thirty (30) day period for which
such availability is delayed beyond such ninety (90) day period.

            (vi) In the event that two (2) additional New Products (other than
the "UltroSpec 3000+", which shall be made available in accordance with Section
8(e) hereof)

shall not be introduced and available for delivery to AP Biotech under this
Agreement by the end of Year Two, then the Year Three Minimum shall be
reduced by the amount of $83,000 for each whole thirty (30) day period for
which such availability is delayed beyond the end of Year Two.

            (v) In the event that: (A) an order by AP Biotech for a Product is
placed for delivery in any Quarter, and (B) the time of delivery in the order is
in accordance with Section 6(b) hereof, and (C) Newco delivers the Product
during the subsequent Quarter, AP Biotech shall receive credit against the
Minimum for the Quarter in which delivery was to be made pursuant to AP
Biotech's order. AP Biotech shall not also receive credit against the Minimum
for the Quarter in which delivery was in fact made.

      (f) For purposes of determining whether the Minimum has been met for any
particular Quarter or Year, as the case may be, under this Section 7, all
foreign exchange conversions to USD shall be performed at the average exchange
rate for such Quarter or Year, as the case may be, determined by (i) in the case
of any Quarter, calculating the quotient of (A) the sum of the exchange rates
for the relevant currency on the last day of each month contained in such
Quarter (as published in the Financial Times) divided by (B) three (3), and (ii)
in the case of any Year, calculating the quotient of (A) the sum of the exchange
rates for the relevant currency on the last day of each month contained in such
Year (as published in the Financial Times) divided by (B) twelve (12).

      (b) information which after the date hereof becomes available to the

      (a) In consideration of entering into this Agreement, AP Biotech hereby
grants to Newco the right to freely use a copy of the Escrowed Customer
Information after the effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 16 hereof; provided, however, that in the event that, pursuant to
Sections 16(a) and 16(f) hereof and the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the
Escrowed Customer Information is distributed by the Escrow Agent to Newco while
this Agreement is still in effect, Newco shall have the right, prior to the

      (b) While this Agreement is in effect, Newco shall not directly, and shall
not appoint, enter into an agreement with or otherwise assist a third party
distributor, marketer, seller or sales representative to, use the Escrowed

customers of AP Biotech listed in the Escrowed Customer Information. Newco shall
not be prohibited from making sales of Modified Market Products to a customer
listed in the Escrowed Customer Information prior to the effective date of
termination of this Agreement if Newco can demonstrate with documentary evidence
that it made sales to, promoted the sale of, or quoted prices for, Products to
such customer prior to Newco's receiving the Escrowed Customer Information from
the Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

      SECTION 16. TERM; TERMINATION.

      (a) After eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, either party may
terminate this Agreement without cause by providing eighteen (18) months'
prior written notice of termination to the other party, which such
termination shall be effective upon the expiration of such eighteen (18)
month period. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in
the event that AP Biotech provides Newco with such a notice of termination,
within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such termination, AP
Biotech shall deliver to Newco the Customer Information with respect to the
period between the last date on which any Semi-

Annual Customer Information was deposited by AP Biotech with the Escrow Agent
in accordance with the terms of Section 1A(b) hereof and the effective date
of such termination.

      (b) (i) In the event of a material breach: (A) in the case of Newco, of
its obligations pursuant to Section 2(a)(i), 4(a)-(d), 6(b), 8(a), 10, 12(a), or
15(b), and (B) in the case of AP Biotech, of its obligations pursuant to Section
3(a), 9, 12(b) or 17, which shall not be remedied within thirty (30) days of
written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party (which notice shall
specify the obligations under this Agreement that have been breached, including
if the breach constitutes a Newco Sale Breach (as defined below)), the Agreement
shall terminate effective upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

            (ii) In the event of a breach by AP Biotech of its obligations
pursuant to Section 1A(a), Section 1A(b), Section 5 with respect to any invoice
or Section 7 with respect to any Quarter or Year, Newco may terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice of termination to AP Biotech within thirty
(30) days following such breach (which notice shall specify the obligations
under this Agreement that have been breached by AP Biotech). The notice of
termination shall become effective thirty (30) days after delivery of such
notice to AP Biotech (the "Cure Period") unless, within the Cure Period:

                  (A) with respect to a breach by AP Biotech of its obligations
under Section 5 hereof, AP Biotech pays to Newco, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to Newco's accounts set forth in SCHEDULE 5(d) or
such other accounts as Newco shall specify to AP Biotech in writing, (X) the
invoice amounts for each invoice with respect to which payment was not made by
AP Biotech within the number of days specified in Section 5(a) hereof, plus (Y)
the amount of interest accrued on such invoice amounts in accordance with
Section 5(c) hereof;

                  (B) with respect to a breach by AP Biotech of its
obligations under Section 7 hereof, AP Biotech either (X) places orders with
Newco for Products in the amount of any shortfall not previously satisfied
during the course of the Quarter or Year, with shipment of such Products to
take place in accordance with the time schedules set forth in Section 6(b)
hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Products so ordered by AP Biotech shall
be counted solely toward fulfillment of the Quarterly or Yearly Minimum for
the Quarter or Year in which such shortfall occurred and in no event shall
the shipment of such ordered Products in any following Quarter or Year be
counted toward the fulfillment of the Quarterly or Yearly Minimum in said
following Quarter or Year, or (Y) pays to Newco, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to Newco's accounts set forth in SCHEDULE 5(d) or
such other accounts as Newco shall specify to AP Biotech in writing, an
amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the shortfall; or

                  (C) with respect to a breach by AP Biotech of its obligations
under Section 1A(a) or Section 1A(b) hereof, AP Biotech (i) executes the Escrow
Agreement and/or delivers the Initial Customer Information, as the case may be,
in cure of a breach by AP Biotech of its obligations under Section 1A(a) hereof
or (ii) delivers the Semi-Annual Customer

Information to the Escrow Agent in cure of a breach by AP Biotech of its
obligations under Section 1A(b) hereof.

                  In the event that AP Biotech fails to cure the breach of its
obligations under Section 5, Section 7, Section 1A(a) or Section 1A(b), as
provided for in this Section 16(b)(ii) during the Cure Period, then this
Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the Cure Period.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon such a
termination pursuant to this Section 16(b)(ii), AP Biotech shall, within ten
(10) business days following the termination, pay to Newco by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to Newco's accounts set forth in SCHEDULE 5(d) or
such other accounts as Newco shall specify to AP Biotech in writing, an
aggregate amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the Minimums for Year
One, Year Two, Year Three and the Year Three Tail Period that would have been in
effect under the terms of this Agreement that AP Biotech would otherwise have
been required to satisfy pursuant to Section 7 hereof had Newco not so
terminated this Agreement (the "Full Termination Minimum Amount"). If the
delivery of such notice of termination occurs prior to the establishment of
either the Year Two Minimum or the Year Three Minimum in accordance with Section
7 hereto, for purposes of calculating the Full Termination Minimum Amount, the
Minimum for each such Year shall be calculated by increasing the previous Year's
Minimum by four percent (4%).

      (c) A party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to the other party upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with
respect to the other party.

      (d) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

      (e) (i) In the event that Newco shall have delivered a notice of
termination of this Agreement to AP Biotech pursuant to Section 16(a) hereto
and, at any time during the period of eighteen (18) months following the
effective date of the notice of termination, Newco desires to locate and appoint
a new distributor, effective upon the termination of this Agreement, for the
Current Products and New Products to the Market in the Territory, AP Biotech
shall have a right of first offer with respect to such appointment on the terms
set forth in subsection (ii) below.

            (ii) Newco shall notify AP Biotech in writing of its desire to so
locate and appoint a new distributor (the "New Distributor Notice") and shall
offer AP Biotech a term sheet containing terms substantially similar to the
terms Newco is considering offering to such new distributor (the "Term Sheet").
AP Biotech will have thirty (30) days from the date it receives the New
Distributor Notice to accept such Term Sheet in writing (the "Acceptance
Notice"). If AP Biotech accepts such Term Sheet within such thirty-day period,
then the parties shall have thirty (30) days from the date Newco receives the
Acceptance Notice to enter into a definitive distribution agreement which
incorporates the principal terms of the Term Sheet. In the event that either (i)
AP Biotech does not deliver the Acceptance Notice to Newco within thirty (30)
days of receiving the New Distributor Notice or (ii) after delivery by AP
Biotech of the Acceptance Notice to Newco, the parties do not execute a
definitive distribution

distributor on terms that are, in the aggregate, not materially less
favorable to Newco than those contained in the Term Sheet.

      (f) (A) Newco shall be permitted to deliver the Letter of Instruction to
the Escrow Agent under the following circumstances: (i) in the case of a
termination pursuant to either Section 16(a) or Section 16(c) hereof, as of the
date upon which the notice of termination is physically delivered by the
terminating party to the non-terminating party; and (ii) in the case of a
termination pursuant to Section 16(b)(i) or Section 16(b)(ii) hereof, as of the
date upon which this Agreement automatically terminates in accordance with the
provisions of such Section.

            (B) Newco shall not be permitted to deliver the Letter of
Instruction to the Escrow Agent in the event that AP Biotech delivers a notice
of termination to Newco under Section 16(b)(i) hereof as a result of (x) a
breach by Newco of its obligations under Section 15(b) hereof or (y) prior to
the effective date of termination of this Agreement, Newco's making, or
appointing a distributor to make, sales of Current Products or New Products to
the Market within the Territory in violation of Section 2 hereof (a "Newco Sale
Breach").

      (g) The provisions of Sections 10, 12, 14, 16(f), 16(g), 16(h), 17, 19(c)
and 19(d) hereof shall survive termination of this Agreement. The provisions of
Sections 5, 7(c), 7(d), 8(b), 11, 16(a), 16(b)(i), 16(b)(ii) and 16(e) hereof
shall survive termination of this Agreement to the extent that any obligations
thereunder remain outstanding.

      (h) Following a termination of this Agreement, Newco agrees to pay to AP
Biotech a commission in the amount of five percent (5%) of the actual sale price
for each sale of a Product by Newco, or any distributor of Newco, to a customer
in the Territory made within six (6) months of termination which was identified
to Newco in writing, and evidenced by a copy of a written quotation for sale of
a Product by AP Biotech prior to such termination.

      SECTION 17. NON-COMPETITION.

      In consideration of transactions to be consummated by Newco in connection
with the Acquisition and in consideration of Newco's entering into this
Agreement, AP Biotech hereby agrees that it shall not, either solely or jointly
with any person or entity, directly or indirectly:

      (a) at any time until the later of (x) four (4) years after the Closing
Date or (y) the termination or expiration of this Agreement engage in the
Territory in the manufacture, distribution or sale of any Current Products or
New Products or of any products directly competitive with the Current Products
or New Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent AP Biotech from: (i) engaging in the manufacture, distribution or sale
of (A) mass spectrometers and related products or instruments in which mass
spectrometer technology is utilized, (B) chromatography instruments and related
products or instruments in which spectrophotometer technology is utilized or (C)
electrophoresis

instruments and related products or instruments in which electrophoresis
technology is utilized, including without limitation DNA sequencing
instruments; or (ii) subject to the last sentence of this Section 17(a) and
receipt by Newco of a written agreement executed by the Subject Company (as
hereinafter defined) to be bound by the terms contained in the last sentence
of this Section 17(a) (provided that such written agreement shall not be
required in the case of a merger between AP Biotech and the Subject Company),
acquiring, being acquired or merging (in each case whether by sale of stock,
assets or otherwise) with a company that sells spectrophotometers (a "Subject
Company"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that AP Biotech shall notify Newco that it has
entered into such a transaction within thirty (30) days following the
consummation of such transaction. In the event that AP Biotech shall enter
into an acquisition or merger with a Subject Company as permitted under
clause (ii) above, AP Biotech agrees that (A) AP Biotech will continue to
distribute the Current Products and New Products as provided for herein, (B)
the Escrowed Customer Information shall not be used in connection with the
marketing or sale of any products of the Subject Company, (C) the
Intellectual Property shall not be used in connection with spectrophotometers
manufactured by the Subject Company and (D) the spectrophotometers
manufactured by the Subject Company (x) shall not be sold by those persons
and entities that constituted the AP Biotech sales force prior to the
acquisition or merger and (y) shall not be included in AP Biotech's world
wide web site, the Pharmacia BioDirectory (or any successor publication) or
the Pharmacia BioDirect mailings (or any successor publication).

      (b) While each of the undertakings contained in Section 17(a) above is
considered by the parties to be reasonable, if any such undertaking should be
held invalid as an unreasonable restraint of trade or for any other reason
but would have been held valid if part of the wording thereof had been
deleted or the period thereof reduced or the range of activities or area
dealt with thereby reduced in scope, said undertaking shall apply with such
modifications as may be necessary to make them valid and effective.

      (c) Each undertaking contained in Section 17(a) above shall be read and
construed independently of the other undertakings therein contained so that if
one or more should be held to be invalid as an unreasonable restraint of trade
or for any other reason whatsoever then the remaining undertakings shall be
valid to the extent that they are not held to be so invalid.

      (d) The benefit of the undertakings contained in Section 17(a) above may
be assigned in whole or in part by Newco in accordance with the terms of Section
19(e) hereof.

      SECTION 18. FORCE MAJEURE.

      Neither party shall be subject to any liability to the other party for
failure to meet any of its obligations under this Agreement if such failure
results from causes or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the
defaulting party, including any act of God, fire, explosion, perils of the sea,
flood, drought, war, riot, sabotage, accident, embargo, interruption of or delay
in transportation, strike, compliance with any order, direction, request

party under Section 12 hereof. The party which shall be subject to any such
event of force majeure shall, promptly upon the occurrence thereof, notify
the other party of the occurrence of such event and shall, promptly upon the
cessation thereof, notify the other party of such cessation.

      SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS.

      (d) DISPUTE RESOLUTION. All disputes between the parties arising out of
the circumstances and relationships contemplated by this Agreement including
disputes relating to the validity, construction or interpretation of this
Agreement and including disputes relating to pre-contractual representations
shall be settled by arbitration as follows:

            (i) Newco and AP Biotech hereby agree to cooperate in good faith to
resolve any disputes, claims or controversies that may arise hereunder or with
respect to the performance by either party of its obligations as contemplated
hereby.

            (ii) In the event that any dispute, claim or controversy shall not
be so resolved by the parties between themselves, Newco and AP Biotech agree
that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or a breach thereof, whether grounded in common law or statutory
law, shall be finally settled in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the
International Chamber of Commerce in effect on the Closing Date. Save as
otherwise expressly provided herein the procedural rules shall be the rules of
the High Court in England and Wales and the lex curiae shall be the law of
England and Wales.

            (iii) The number of arbitrators shall be three, chosen in accordance
with the procedures set out in this Section 19(d). The award of the arbitrators
shall be final and binding on the parties.

            (iv) Each party shall appoint one arbitrator. If within (30) days
after receipt of the claimant's notification of the appointment of an arbitrator
the respondent has not notified the claimant of the arbitrator it appoints, the
second arbitrator shall be appointed by the appointing authority.

            (v) The arbitrators thus appointed shall choose a further arbitrator
who will act as the presiding arbitrator of the tribunal. If within (30) days
after the appointment of arbitrators under (d)(iv) above, they have not agreed
upon the choice of the presiding arbitrator, then at the request of any party to
the arbitration proceeding the presiding arbitrator shall be appointed by the
appointing authority.

            (vi) The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, London, England shall
be the appointing authority.

            (vii) At the request of any party to the arbitration ("requesting
party") the arbitrators shall order the other party ("furnishing party") to
supply and furnish to the requesting party (the cost of which shall be

and complete copies of the Relevant Material and to produce to the arbitral
tribunal any or all of the Relevant Material and/or copies thereof as any
part or the arbitral tribunal shall require.

OF THE OMITTED INFORMATION HAVE BEEN INDICATED WITH ASTERISKS.

            (viii) The procedures leading to the production of Relevant Material
under this paragraph shall be determined by the arbitrators, and may include the
preparation of lists of Relevant Material for initial evaluation by the
requesting party prior to disclosure and/or inspection of Relevant Material by
the requesting party prior to supply and furnishing the copies. In making such
determination, the arbitrators shall take into account the urgency with which
the Relevant Material should be brought before the arbitral tribunal.

            (ix) No party shall use or disclose any Relevant Material obtained
under this paragraph for any purpose except in the course of the conduct of the
arbitration and (as far as applicable) proceedings before any court, and then
only to the extent necessary for the implementation and enforcement of any aware
of the arbitrators.

            (x) The arbitration, including the making of the award, shall take
place in London, U.K.

            (xi) All submissions and awards in relation to arbitration hereunder
shall be made in English and all arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in
English.

            (xii) The failure or refusal of either party to submit to
arbitration in accordance with this Section 19(d) shall be deemed a breach of
this Agreement. If either party seeks and secures judicial intervention
requiring enforcement of this arbitration provision, such party shall be
entitled to recover from the other party in such judicial proceeding all costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that it was thereby required
to incur.

            (xiii) The procedures specified in this Section 19(d) shall be the
sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the parties
arising out of or relating to this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a party,
without prejudice to the above procedures, may seek equitable remedies,
including without limitation, specific performance, a preliminary injunction or
other provisional judicial relief if in its sole judgment such action is
necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo. The parties
to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of AP Biotech to
deposit the Initial Customer Information or any Semi-Annual Customer Information
with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the delivery requirements of Section
1A(a) and Section 1A(b) hereof, respectively, will cause irreparable damage to
Newco and its businesses and that, accordingly, Newco shall be entitled, if the
circumstances so require, to seek the equitable remedy of specific performance
to force AP Biotech to deliver such Initial Customer Information or Semi-Annual
Customer Information.

      (e) ASSIGNABILITY; BINDING EFFECT.

      This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign
any of its rights or obligations hereunder except as may be contemplated hereby
or except with the prior written consent of the other party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER
that (i) AP Biotech shall be entitled to assign its

rights and obligations hereunder without obtaining the prior written consent
of Newco to (A) any of its affiliates, or (B) any successor in interest in
the event of a merger, a sale of substantially all of its assets, a sale of a
majority of its capital stock or a sale of a material portion of its assets
(provided that such material portion includes the business and assets of AP
Biotech necessary for the performance of this Agreement consistent with past
practice) and (ii) Newco shall be entitled to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder without obtaining the prior written consent of AP
Biotech to (A) any of its affiliates, or (B) any successor in interest in the
event of a merger, a sale of substantially all of its assets or a sale of a
majority of its capital stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no assignment by AP
Biotech under clause (i)(A) above or by Newco under clause (ii)(A) above

bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Escrow Agent shall be
fully protected in acting in reliance upon any certificate, statement, request,

Escrow Agent may, in its discretion and at the expense of Newco, on the one
hand, and AP Biotech, on the other hand, as provided in Section 5(c) hereof,

                                NON-ASSIGNABILITY

      13.1 The Licensee may not nor may not purport to assign, transfer, change
or part with all or any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement or
sub-contract the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Licensor. A change of control of the
Licensee shall be deemed an assignment hereunder. For purposes of this Clause
13.1, "control" shall mean the ownership of the majority of ordinary share
capital or the ability to cast the majority of the votes at a general meeting of

      14.1 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, then such provision shall (so far as invalid or unenforceable) be
given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in this Agreement but
without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The
parties shall then use all reasonable endeavors to replace the invalid or
unenforceable provisions by a valid and enforceable substitute provision the
effect of which is as close as possible to the intended effect of the invalid or
unenforceable provision.

                                ENTIRE AGREEMENT

(although this should be avoided as
far as possible) as long as the color
does not deduct from their visibility.
They may also appear white out of

this purpose.
