Mallinckrodt, through the Joint Steering Committee, will develop a plan to
transfer all OPTISON manufacturing to a location controlled by Mallinckrodt as
of an agreed date ("TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PERIOD"). All costs of establishing the
manufacturing facility, including but not limited to equipment, licensing and
validation shall be borne by Mallinckrodt ("TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER COSTS"). MBI
shall render reasonable assistance to Mallinckrodt in developing Mallinckrodt's
Manufacturing Operations pursuant to the license granted in SECTION 7.01(a). MBI
shall assist Mallinckrodt at the latter's request and expense, including, but
not limited to, reimbursement of MBI for travel expenses, direct labor costs of
MBI personnel, equipment and any other related expenses that are approved
through the budget process of the Joint Steering Committee. The persons from
Mallinckrodt and MBI who are responsible for the transfer of technology from MBI
to Mallinckrodt pursuant to this Section ("TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER TEAM") shall work
closely together to establish reasonable purchasing policies, procedures and
supply agreements with raw material vendors. All costs borne by Mallinckrodt
pursuant to this Section, including those reimbursed to MBI, shall be included
in Technology Transfer Costs and both parties shall keep appropriate records of
such costs.

         (b) MBI MANUFACTURING EXPENSES. Beginning on the Effective Date and
continuing during Phases 1 and 2, Mallinckrodt will reimburse MBI for all
fully-allocated manufacturing expenses ("MBI MANUFACTURING EXPENSES"), including
but not limited to, overhead, depreciation, direct materials, interest and
technology support during the Technology Transfer Period. To qualify for
reimbursement, MBI Manufacturing Expenses must be (i) budgeted by MBI and
reviewed and approved in advance by the Joint Steering Committee, (ii)
determined pursuant to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), with
the exception that royalties paid and accelerated depreciation taken by MBI that
would normally be includable in fully-allocated manufacturing expenses
consistent with GAAP will not be reimbursed, (iii) incurred by MBI in
manufacturing OPTISON for Mallinckrodt, and (iv) subject to verification and
periodic audits by Mallinckrodt similar to the right of audit afforded MBI under
SECTION 2.14(c). For purposes of subsection (ii) of this section, the amount of
accelerated depreciation excluded from MBI Manufacturing Expenses shall be equal
to the difference between (1) the accelerated depreciation actually taken by


<PAGE>

MBI pursuant to GAAP and (2) the normal depreciation MBI would have taken
pursuant to GAAP assuming MBI had not taken accelerated depreciation. In
addition to the budget prepared by MBI pursuant to SECTION 2.03(B)(I), MBI shall
also prepare a 12 month rolling forecast of MBI Manufacturing Expenses and
submit such forecast to Mallinckrodt no later than the due date stated in
Mallinckrodt's published forecast schedule.

         (c) MBI MANUFACTURING DURING PHASES 1 AND 2; MALLINCKRODT MANUFACTURING
DURING PHASE 3.

                  (1) PHASE 1. During Phase 1, MBI shall continue to manufacture
         OPTISON for Mallinckrodt for countries designated by the Joint Steering
         Committee and subject to the Product Specifications contained in
         APPENDIX 5.

                  (2) PHASE 2. During Phase 2, MBI shall manufacture OPTISON for
         Mallinckrodt for countries designated by the Joint Steering Committee
         and subject to the Product Specifications contained in APPENDIX 5, and
         shall ship it to Mallinckrodt in flex bags. Mallinckrodt shall perform
         Fill Operations.

                  (3) PHASE 3. During Phase 3, Mallinckrodt shall manufacture
         OPTISON subject to the limitations in SECTIONS 2.03(c)(1), (c)(2), (d)
         AND 2.05.

                  (4) CONCURRENT PHASES. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
         phases noted in SECTIONS 2.03(c)(1)-(3) are only mutually exclusive
         within a particular country, as plant validation must be performed and
         market authorization must be secured on a country-by-country basis in
         the Territory, the Additional Territory and the Nycomed Territory.

         (d) MBI RETENTION OF MANUFACTURING RIGHTS. Mallinckrodt shall have the
exclusive right and license to manufacture OPTISON in the Territory, the
Additional Territory and the Nycomed Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
during Phases 1 and 2, MBI shall have the co-exclusive right to manufacture
OPTISON in the Territory, the Additional Territory and the Nycomed Territory,
but such manufacturing right shall only be exercised in order to manufacture for
Mallinckrodt.

         (e) ALBUMIN. At Mallinckrodt's request after it becomes authorized to
manufacture any Albunex Product under SECTIONS 2.03(c)(3) AND 7.01(a), MBI shall
authorize its vendor to use a portion of the vendor's allocation of USP Human
Serum Albumin to MBI to sell to Mallinckrodt for Mallinckrodt to manufacture the
Albunex Product in question in the authorized quantities or to manufacture
ALBUNEX as reasonably required in connection with Mallinckrodt's limited
validated manufacturing.

         2.04 DUTIES OF MBI.  MBI shall:

         (a) Promptly inform Mallinckrodt of any clinical trials reasonably
related to ALBUNEX approval and the results thereof and any problems in starting
production, and subject to the consent of MBI, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, Mallinckrodt shall have the right to
participate in and assist MBI with any MBI pre-production activities;

         (b) During Phases 1 and 2, establish and maintain, with Mallinckrodt's
assistance, current Good Manufacturing Practices with respect to the
manufacturing of ALBUNEX in compliance with the requirements of the FDA (or
Foreign Equivalent Authorities) as such requirements shall be in effect from
time to time;

         (c) During Phases 1 and 2, ship the quantities of Albunex Products
ordered for the first two calendar quarters of each Forecast that Mallinckrodt
provides to MBI pursuant to SECTION 2.05(b), for delivery during those quarters
in a manner to assure product stability. MBI shall use its best efforts to
deliver the quantities ordered during the particular months of each of those
quarters as specified in the Forecast (but in any event shall deliver the
quantities ordered for each such quarter no later than the last day of the
quarter). In addition, MBI shall use best efforts to deliver amounts ordered
prior to the first Forecast provided by Mallinckrodt;


<PAGE>

         (d) During Phases 1 and 2, prepare and deliver to Mallinckrodt a
complete and accurate documentation package (including current Good
Manufacturing Practices documentation and copies of any filings with the FDA or
corresponding foreign agencies in the Territory relating to ALBUNEX or MBI's
facilities or processes used to manufacture ALBUNEX) concerning the development
and manufacturing of ALBUNEX, name Mallinckrodt as an alternative manufacturing
site in any and all appropriate submissions or applications, and update such
package whenever any changes occur;

         (e) During Phases 1 and 2, provide with each shipment of ALBUNEX a
quality certification substantially in the form of APPENDIX 6 certifying, among
other things, the purity and quality of materials, compliance of ALBUNEX with
the Product Specifications and compliance of the manufacturing process with
current Good Manufacturing Practices. MBI shall also certify that all (i) vials
included in the shipment during Phase 1 will have a remaining shelf-life, from
the date of receipt by Mallinckrodt at the designated site for delivery (I.E.,
Mallinckrodt's designated warehouse or such other location as Mallinckrodt shall
designate), at least equal to two-thirds of the shelf-life allowed by the FDA
(or Foreign Equivalent Authorities) before the product is considered out-of-date
and (ii) flex bags of each Albunex Product included in the shipment during Phase
2 will have a remaining shelf-life, from the date of receipt by Mallinckrodt at
the designated site for delivery (I.E., Mallinckrodt's designated warehouse or
such other location as Mallinckrodt shall designate), that allows Mallinckrodt
sufficient time to complete the manufacturing process on the product in the flex
bags;

         (f) Promptly forward to Mallinckrodt all inquiries and complaints it
receives from any person or entity for ALBUNEX and provide Mallinckrodt with any
reasonable assistance requested by Mallinckrodt in connection with complaints,
quality issues or product recalls. Mallinckrodt and MBI shall establish
procedures to provide MBI with the opportunity to obtain direct clinical
responses from Mallinckrodt's customers, in the presence of Mallinckrodt
representatives, regarding their satisfaction with ALBUNEX, understanding of and
training in its use, perception of its clinical utility, and utilization rates.
Mallinckrodt shall provide these opportunities to MBI at a minimum of four times
per year through (among other possible means, and where considered appropriate
by Mallinckrodt) attendance at meetings of Mallinckrodt's medical advisory
boards, presence at Mallinckrodt focus groups and work in the field with
Mallinckrodt sales or marketing representatives. MBI shall not contact
Mallinckrodt's ALBUNEX customers for any reason whatsoever without the prior
written consent of Mallinckrodt, except with respect to (i) products or services
not contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) MBI's contacts with clinicians, experts
and institutions in connection with MBI's preclinical and clinical activities
and (iii) MBI's market research studies authorized under and subject to the
limitations of this SECTION 2.04(f). In order to avoid potential confusion among
customers about Mallinckrodt's exclusive distributorship, MBI shall not be an
exhibitor of ALBUNEX at medical trade shows (for example, meetings of the
American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, American Institute
of Ultrasound and Medicine, American Society of Echocardiography, and
Radiological Society of North America) or regional hospital/physician-sponsored
meetings. MBI may be an exhibitor of non-ALBUNEX products at these meetings (and
its exhibit may indicate that MBI is the developer of ALBUNEX and manufacturer
of ALBUNEX for Mallinckrodt to the extent MBI still manufactures for
Mallinckrodt), and in any case, MBI may attend these meetings and present
papers. In addition, MBI shall not conduct any advertising or promotional
activities for ALBUNEX to Mallinckrodt customers. Mallinckrodt is responsible
for market research for ALBUNEX, but MBI may undertake limited market research
studies for the sole purpose of identifying desirable additional indications of
ALBUNEX for clinical development. MBI may conduct such studies subject to the
conditions that (i) MBI provides Mallinckrodt with copies of all interim and
final reports and (ii) MBI does not single out known Mallinckrodt customers in
conducting such studies;

         (g) Undertake to keep Mallinckrodt regularly and promptly informed of
any and all significant medical, technical, legal, commercial or other matters
of which it shall gain knowledge in connection with the manufacture or use of
ALBUNEX or in connection with the sale of ALBUNEX in the Territory, the
Additional Territory and the Nycomed Territory. MBI shall meet with Mallinckrodt
periodically, but not less frequently than quarterly, to discuss such matters as
well as any other matters related to ALBUNEX or MBI as reasonably requested by
Mallinckrodt;

         (h) Provide Mallinckrodt (i) copies of all correspondence, reports and
other written documents received by or provided by MBI under the Feinstein
License, as amended, and (ii) prompt notice of any claim, controversy or dispute
arising under or related to such License. MBI shall provide Mallinckrodt a copy
of any proposed amendment

<PAGE>

or modification to the Feinstein License not less than 30 days prior to its
disclosure to or oral discussion with Steven B. Feinstein, M.D., his attorneys
or representatives. In the event that Mallinckrodt notifies MBI within 10
working days after receipt of such copy from MBI that Mallinckrodt, in its
reasonable judgment, determines that the proposed amendment or modification is
detrimental to Mallinckrodt, then MBI shall not amend or modify the Feinstein
License without the prior written consent of Mallinckrodt which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. MBI shall take all action necessary to preserve
and maintain its rights and license under the Feinstein License;

         (i) Except after prior consultation with and the prior written consent
of Mallinckrodt, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, not (a) take
official or formal steps or make any public announcement to stop or suspend the
sale and distribution of ALBUNEX, or (b) cancel or cause to be cancelled any
necessary government authorizations regarding the use and distribution of
ALBUNEX, in the Territory, the Additional Territory and the Nycomed Territory;

         (j) Cause members of key management of MBI to devote all necessary time
and effort to the performance of MBI's obligations under this Agreement; and

         (k) Assist Mallinckrodt, upon its reasonable request, in complying with
applicable laws and government regulations affecting the manufacturing, sale,
use and distribution of ALBUNEX and which are not otherwise the responsibility
of MBI as provided herein, provided that Mallinckrodt shall reimburse MBI for
any fees paid to any governmental agency by MBI pursuant to a request under this
SECTION 2.04(k).

         2.05 DUTIES OF MALLINCKRODT.  Mallinckrodt shall:

         (a) Comply with applicable laws and governmental regulations affecting
the sale and distribution of ALBUNEX, with the assistance of MBI, if so
requested by Mallinckrodt;

         (b) During Phases 1 and 2, no later than the first business day of each
calendar quarter, prepare a written four-quarter forecast by month (a
"FORECAST") of Mallinckrodt's purchases of ALBUNEX during that calendar quarter
and the next three calendar quarters. Each Forecast shall specify the quantities
of each Albunex Product during Phase 1 and the quantities of flex bags of
OPTISON during Phase 2 that Mallinckrodt estimates it will purchase each quarter
of the Forecast, by month, and the Forecast for the first two calendar quarters
of each Forecast shall be a firm order for those quarters, for delivery by MBI
during those quarters in accordance with SECTION 2.04(c). In addition, no later
than the first business day of the second and third months of each calendar
quarter, Mallinckrodt shall prepare a written update of its forecast of
purchases of ALBUNEX for the next 12 months. All Forecasts and updates shall be
made in good faith and with due regard to known demand, market conditions and
competitive factors;

         (c) Except as permitted by SECTIONS 2.03 AND 7.01(a), neither
manufacture ALBUNEX nor purchase ALBUNEX from anyone other than MBI; provided
MBI can supply such ALBUNEX as Mallinckrodt may need; and

         (d) Promptly forward to MBI reasonably detailed notice of all
complaints that Mallinckrodt receives from its customers for ALBUNEX.


<PAGE>

         2.06 SHIPMENT.

         (a) During Phases 1 and 2, MBI shall ship ALBUNEX in a commercially
reasonable manner to Mallinckrodt sites, warehouses and freight forwarders in
the United States of America and the possessions of the United States of America
within the Territory, and, if commercially reasonable, on an isolated basis
directly to Mallinckrodt customers, all as Mallinckrodt may from time to time
designate. Costs of freight shall be treated in the same way as other MBI
Manufacturing Expenses under SECTION 2.03(b).

         (b) During Phases 1 and 2, MBI shall not transport or ship any ALBUNEX
until (i) MBI and Mallinckrodt shall have each obtained all applicable
approvals, authorizations, and licenses of any required governmental agency or
instrumentality for shipment (including, without limitation, any export or
import licenses or approvals), and (ii) MBI and Mallinckrodt have complied with
all applicable laws and regulations regarding the export, import, shipment, and
labeling of ALBUNEX. Each party shall provide reasonable assistance to the other
party in obtaining the necessary approvals, authorizations and licenses.

         2.07 F.O.B. During Phases 1 and 2, all shipments of ALBUNEX to
Mallinckrodt shall be F.O.B. destination.

         2.08 REJECTION. During Phases 1 and 2, if any shipment of ALBUNEX
manufactured by MBI is found by Mallinckrodt within a reasonable time after
delivery to be defective in material or workmanship or otherwise not in
conformity with the Product Specifications or other requirements hereof,
Mallinckrodt in addition to any other rights which it may have under any
warranties in this Agreement or otherwise, may reject and return such ALBUNEX at
MBI's expense, which goods shall not be replaced without Mallinckrodt's prior
written authorization. Mallinckrodt shall receive a credit against the payment
of MBI Manufacturing Expenses in an amount equal to the cost to Mallinckrodt to
produce the defective goods. Payment of MBI Manufacturing Expenses for the
ALBUNEX shall not constitute acceptance of the products. ALBUNEX rejected by
Mallinckrodt which utilizes any Mallinckrodt name, trade name, trademark,
insignia, symbol, decorative design or evidence of Mallinckrodt's purchase or
inspection shall have the same removed prior to any disposition by MBI. MBI
shall indemnify Mallinckrodt from any claim, loss or damage arising out of any
failure of MBI so to do.

         2.09 MALLINCKRODT TRADEMARKS.

         (a) MBI shall not have any right, title or interest in or to, and shall
not in any respect use, the Mallinckrodt name or logo.

         (b) Mallinckrodt shall have the right to market and sell ALBUNEX (i)
provided by MBI during Phases 1 and 2 , and (ii) manufactured by Mallinckrodt
during Phase 3, under any trademark which Mallinckrodt, in its discretion after
consultation with MBI, deems appropriate.

         (c) During Phase 1, the packaging for ALBUNEX provided by MBI to
Mallinckrodt pursuant to this ARTICLE 2 shall be consistent with the packaging

         (a) Prior to the Launch Date, MBI shall take out and maintain
comprehensive general liability insurance, including products liability
insurance, with minimum limits of $5,000,000 combined for bodily injury and
property damage liabilities. Such insurance shall have both foreign and domestic
coverage with the coverage applying worldwide regardless of where a claim is
filed, except for the countries/territories of Cuba, Vietnam, Campuchea, Laos,
North Korea and Outer Mongolia. MBI shall have the option to self-insure its
obligations under this Agreement so long as MBI's net worth, as determined in
accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles consistently applied,
exceeds $50,000,000. MBI shall furnish a certificate of insurance or of
self-insurance to Mallinckrodt evidencing the foregoing coverage and required
limits of liability prior to the Launch Date. During Phases 1 and 2, in the
event that any raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory or finished
goods inventory is destroyed prior to shipment from MBI's facilities,
Mallinckrodt shall be entitled to (i) the replacement of such destroyed
inventory or (ii) reimbursement of the MBI Manufacturing Expenses paid by
Mallinckrodt that are related to such destroyed inventory from any insurance
proceeds received by MBI.

         (b) Prior to the Launch Date, Mallinckrodt shall maintain comprehensive
general liability insurance, including products liability insurance, with
minimum limits of $5,000,000 combined for bodily injury and property damage
liabilities. Such insurance shall have both foreign and domestic coverage with
the coverage applying worldwide regardless of where a claim is filed, except for
the countries/territories of Cuba, Vietnam, Campuchea, Laos, North Korea and
Outer Mongolia. Mallinckrodt shall have the option to self-insure its
obligations under this Agreement. Mallinckrodt shall furnish a certificate of
insurance or of self-insurance to MBI evidencing the foregoing coverage and
required limits of liability prior to the Launch Date.

         2.12 INSPECTION AND PAYMENT FOR SAMPLES AND RESEARCH AND TRIAL
QUANTITIES.

         (a) During Phases 1 and 2, Mallinckrodt shall have the right during
normal business hours to inspect (i) upon not less than 10 business days prior

sale of ALBUNEX in the Territory, the Additional Territory and the Nycomed
Territory or any other obligation of MBI under this Agreement, and (ii) upon not
less than 2 business days prior notice, MBI's facilities and operations, and any
other scientific data and information relating to ALBUNEX, or the manufacture,
use or sale of ALBUNEX in the Territory, the Additional Territory and the
Nycomed Territory, in order to insure that ALBUNEX is being manufactured in
compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices and that the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement are being met, provided, however, Mallinckrodt
shall have the right to conduct such inspection without prior notice to MBI no
more frequently than once per calendar quarter. Mallinckrodt's right of
inspection shall not extend to MBI's business and financial records relating to
the Nycomed Agreement.

         (b) During Phases 1 and 2, Mallinckrodt may, but shall not be obligated
to, sample any shipment of ALBUNEX to verify the accuracy of MBI's certificate
described in SECTION 2.04(e). During Phases 1, 2 and 3, in connection with the
marketing and promotion of ALBUNEX, Mallinckrodt may, but shall not be obligated
to, provide samples of ALBUNEX to customers or potential customers free of
charge.

         (c) Mallinckrodt shall be obligated to pay MBI for any sample of
ALBUNEX used for the purposes described in SECTION 2.12(b) on the same basis as
any other ALBUNEX sold to Mallinckrodt under this Agreement.

         (d) Mallinckrodt may provide MBI with ALBUNEX during Phase 3 as

         2.14 REPORTS; PRICE/ROYALTY; AUDIT RIGHTS; FOREIGN CURRENCY; INTEREST
ON LATE PAYMENTS.

         (a) Mallinckrodt shall deliver to MBI, within 45 days after the start
of each calendar quarter, a true and accurate report of the Average Selling
Price of each Albunex Product sold during the preceding calendar quarter. This
report shall include all relevant details, including gross sales, all
adjustments used to derive Net Sales and number of vials shipped to purchasers.
In addition, Mallinckrodt shall provide MBI with monthly sales reports no later
than 30 days after the end of each month. Each monthly sales report shall
include, by Albunex Product, (i) the total number of vials sold by package
configuration, and (ii) the amount of all Net Sales by month.

         (b) With respect to any calendar quarter, Mallinckrodt shall pay to MBI
a royalty equal to the amount determined by multiplying the number of vials of
each MBI Licensed Product sold by Mallinckrodt by 20% of the Average Selling
Price for such MBI Licensed Product during the calendar quarter in which the
Product was sold. Mallinckrodt's royalty obligation under this SECTION 2.14(b)
shall apply only to those MBI Licensed Products manufactured by MBI or
Mallinckrodt under the terms of this Agreement (ARDA II), and shall continue
through the expiration date of the last patent relating to ALBUNEX, on a
country-by-country basis. Royalty payments shall be made in United States
dollars and shall be due no later than 45 days following the end of the calendar
quarter in which the sale was made. In the event that Mallinckrodt does not
receive distributor sales data within 45 days of the end of the quarter, then
Mallinckrodt will pay an estimated royalty based on its historical experience
and will include an adjustment in the following quarterly payment to true-up
such estimate. Mallinckrodt and MBI have agreed upon an appropriate calculation
to determine the amount of royalties owed by Mallinckrodt to MBI for the
transition period beginning March 1, 1999 and ending June 30, 1999.

         (c) Mallinckrodt shall keep full, true and accurate books of account
containing all particulars which may be necessary for the purpose of determining
the amount to be paid under this Agreement. Mallinckrodt agrees, at the request
of MBI and at MBI's expense, to permit an independent certified accountant
selected by MBI and reasonably acceptable to Mallinckrodt, access upon at least
10 business days prior notice and no more than once a calendar quarter to such
books of account for the purpose of verifying the reports described in SECTIONS
2.03(a) AND 2.14(a). Such accountant shall not be entitled to disclose any
information relating to the business of Mallinckrodt except that which should be
properly contained in any statement required in SECTIONS 2.03(a) AND 2.14(a).

         (d) Mallinckrodt shall inform MBI of Mallinckrodt's proposed initial
pricing of each new Albunex Product. If the proposed initial price of any new
Albunex Product is less than $55.00, or if the Average Selling Price of any
existing Albunex Product is less than $55.00 for two consecutive calendar
quarters, Mallinckrodt may (i) if the Albunex Product in question is a new
product, cancel or postpone launch of the commercial sale of that product, and
(ii) if the Albunex Product in question is an existing product, cancel or
suspend the commercial sale of that Albunex Product (in either case without
being in breach or default under this Agreement or losing exclusivity as a
result).

         (e) If any payment due under this Agreement is not paid in full when
due, interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount from the date due until paid at
a fluctuating rate equal at all times to the rate 2.0% above the rate the First
National Bank of Chicago/BankOne publishes or announces as its prime or
equivalent rate of interest.

         (f) Only one royalty shall be payable hereunder as to any particular
MBI Licensed Product sold by Mallinckrodt or its Affiliates.

         2.15 FUNDING OF FURTHER ALBUNEX DEVELOPMENT.

         (a) Mallinckrodt shall pay MBI $20 million for the further development
of ALBUNEX, as follows:

                  (1) $1 million on the first day of each of the four quarters
         (each of three calendar months), beginning with the quarter starting on
         the first day of the first calendar month beginning after the effective
         date of ARDA;

                  (2) $1.25 million on the first day of each of the next eight
         quarters, beginning with the quarter starting on the first anniversary
         of the first day of the first calendar month beginning after the
         effective date of ARDA; and

                  (3) $1.5 million on the first day of each of the next four
         quarters, beginning with the quarter starting on the third anniversary
         of the first day of the first calendar month beginning after the
         effective date of ARDA.

Consistent with the guiding principles described in SECTION 2.16(b), the Joint
Steering Committee, by a unanimous vote of its members and written notice to
Mallinckrodt, may direct the acceleration of these payments at any time by
increasing the amount of the next payment or payments that Mallinckrodt is
required to make and reducing the last payment that Mallinckrodt is otherwise
required to make by the same amount as the aggregate increase (and if the
aggregate increase exceeds the amount of the last payment that Mallinckrodt is
required to make, reducing the amount of each prior payment in turn, beginning
with the next-to-last payment that Mallinckrodt is required to make and
proceeding in reverse chronological order, until the aggregate reductions equal
the aggregate increase). Payment shall be made by wire transfer to an account
designated by MBI. Mallinckrodt representatives on the Joint Steering Committee
shall not be required to (but may) vote in favor of any acceleration proposed by
the MBI representatives on the Committee.

         (b) Mallinckrodt shall fund the clinical trials and research to be
performed pursuant to SECTION 2.01, subject to the review and approval of the
Joint Steering Committee. Mallinckrodt shall not provide any additional funds to
MBI over and above the $20 million previously paid pursuant to SECTION 2.15(a)
until MBI has included the new funds in a budget and such budgets have been
approved by the Joint Steering Committee.

         (c) MBI shall keep true and accurate records of its expenditures
described in SECTIONS 2.01, 2.03 AND 2.15(a) AND (b). Mallinckrodt shall have a
right of audit regarding these expenditures similar in frequency and scope to
the right of audit afforded MBI by SECTION 2.14(c).

         (d) MBI acknowledges that Mallinckrodt has previously made all of the
payments that Mallinckrodt was required to make under SECTION 2.15(a).
Mallinckrodt acknowledges that MBI has: (i) exhausted all amounts previously
paid by Mallinckrodt under SECTION 2.15(a) and (ii) properly accounted for the
expenditure of the amounts paid under SECTION 2.15(a) to Mallinckrodt's
satisfaction.

         2.16 JOINT STEERING COMMITTEE. MBI and Mallinckrodt shall establish a
joint steering committee (the "JOINT STEERING COMMITTEE"), which shall have
three functions:

                  (1) to review, on a quarterly basis (or more frequently as
         requested by either party), clinical trial programs relating to the
         development and regulatory approval of ALBUNEX, with a particular
         emphasis on reviewing the budgeting, design, implementation and
         expenditures related to clinical trials and any Investigational Device
         Exemption or Investigational New Drug applications to the FDA
         (including related amendments and other ancillary filings) and
         corresponding filings with Foreign Equivalent Authorities ("CLINICAL
         REVIEW");


<PAGE>

                  (2) to review, on a quarterly basis (or more frequently as
         requested by either party), the development and implementation of
         marketing plans, strategies and budgets in the Territory, the
         Additional Territory and the Nycomed Territory ("MARKETING REVIEW");
         and

                  (3) during Phases 1 and 2 only, to review, on a quarterly
         basis (or more frequently as requested by either party), the operation,
         development and implementation of Mallinckrodt's Manufacturing
         Operations and to review budgets and expenditures related to MBI
         Manufacturing Expenses ("MANUFACTURING REVIEW").

         In respect of Clinical Review, the Committee is intended to provide a
mechanism to enable the parties to share their expertise and concerns relating
to clinical programs, regulatory affairs and cost-effectiveness and
reimbursement issues, and shall have significant authority and flexibility in
determining the staffing, task assignments, objectives, number, design and other
features of clinical trials, with a view to maximizing the return on development
costs and expediting commercialization. In respect of Marketing Review, the
Committee is intended to provide a mechanism to enable the parties, consistent
with the other provisions of this Agreement, to gather and share marketing and
other information that will enable them to plan and implement marketing
strategies designed to accomplish their mutual goals of (i) obtaining market
leadership and maximizing distribution of ALBUNEX in the Territory, the
Additional Territory and the Nycomed Territory, and in particular countries
within each territory, and (ii) obtaining a superior return on their respective
investments while balancing the expenses of marketing, advertising, selling and
distribution against expected increases in sales and profits. In this regard,
the parties recognize that market conditions in each territory, and in
particular countries within each territory, are constantly changing, and that
Marketing Review is intended to be a dynamic and continuing process. In respect
of Manufacturing Review, the Committee is intended to provide a mechanism to
monitor the progress and address any needs that may arise during the Technology
Transfer Period and to ensure the cost effectiveness of MBI Manufacturing
Expenses during Phases 1 and 2.

         The Committee shall consist of whatever number of MBI representatives
and Mallinckrodt representatives are required to properly execute the duties of
the Committee. Regardless of the number of members of the Committee, MBI and
Mallinckrodt shall each have three votes on all matters, with the exception of
budget matters. On budget matters, Mallinckrodt shall have four votes and MBI
shall have three votes. Four votes are sufficient to approve any action of the
Committee. The parties shall give prompt written notice to one another of any
changes in their respective representatives on the Committee, and
representatives may designate an alternate representative to act in their
capacity during their absence.

         The Committee has formerly adopted procedures to govern its activities
substantially in the form described in APPENDIX 7. At the earliest possible
date, the Committee shall prepare a charter to formalize and govern the duties,
responsibilities and activities of the Committee and its members (the
"CHARTER"). Until such time as the Charter is adopted, the procedures in
APPENDIX 7 shall govern the Committee's activities. The Charter will be based on
the procedures currently included in APPENDIX 7, but will be a living document
separate and apart from this Agreement and consistent with its principles, and
such Charter may be amended or modified from time to time at the Committee's
discretion.

         (a) The Joint Steering Committee shall have the broad authority to
specify the clinical trials and other activities required to be performed under
SECTION 2.01(c), and MBI shall not make any expenditure under that Section
without the Committee's prior authorization. In connection with the quarterly
review process performed pursuant to SECTION 2.16(1), wherein the Joint Steering
Committee reviews and assesses the progress of the clinical trials, the
Committee shall have the right to amend or modify previously approved budgets or
to completely


<PAGE>

withdraw funding for any clinical trials, if it appears to the Committee that
such clinical trials are likely to result in an unfavorable outcome.

         (b) The Joint Steering Committee's decisions shall be guided by the
following principles, emphasizing both quality and speed:

                  (1) it is very important to bring a product to market in the
         shortest possible time consistent with the prevailing regulatory
         climate (but the quality of the clinical program, including clinical
         utility and cost-effectiveness, is equally important);

                  (2) it is important that clinical studies are conducted and
         their results presented in a thorough, well-organized and professional
         manner;

                  (3) the Committee's decisions should be made with a sense of
         urgency consistent with the prevailing regulatory climate, applying the
         standard of a prudent businessman who has a lead over his competitors
         and wants to maintain that lead, and with a view towards operating by
         consensus and in a manner intended to emphasize partnership and a
         commonality of interests; and

                  (4) it is important to achieve the broadest possible market
         penetration in each significant market at the earliest possible date,
         consistent with a responsibly conducted product launch. However, the
         cost of market penetration must be balanced against potential near term
         and long term sales and revenues.

         (c) In the event of a dispute over a matter for which the parties have
an equal number of votes, MBI and Mallinckrodt shall attempt to resolve the
dispute informally in light of the guiding principles in SECTION 2.16(b). If MBI
and Mallinckrodt are unable to resolve the dispute, they shall each designate as
a referee an unaffiliated person with senior-level credentials in the medical,
scientific, clinical and administrative areas relevant to the Committee's
activities, and the two referees shall attempt to resolve the dispute. If they
are unable to do so within a reasonable period, they shall jointly appoint a
third person with similar qualifications to act as an arbitrator. In reaching a
decision, the arbitrator shall take into account such matters as he considers
appropriate, and may require the parties to provide a written statement or oral
presentation in support of their respective positions. The arbitrator's decision
shall be binding on MBI and Mallinckrodt. During the pendency of the dispute,
Mallinckrodt shall not withhold (and neither the referees nor any arbitrator
appointed by them shall have authority to excuse or delay) any payments due from
Mallinckrodt to MBI under this Agreement. MBI and Mallinckrodt shall each pay
the fees and expenses of its own referee and one-half of the fees and expenses
of any arbitrator that the two referees appoint.

         (d) In the event of a dispute over a matter relating to Marketing
Review that cannot be resolved by the Committee, MBI and Mallinckrodt shall
attempt to resolve the dispute informally in light of the guiding principles in
SECTION 2.16(b). If MBI and Mallinckrodt are unable to resolve the dispute, the
dispute shall not be referred to referees or subject to arbitration (under
Section 2.16(c), Section 12.01 or otherwise) and Mallinckrodt's position shall
be controlling (as long as it does not involve any cash expenditure by MBI).

         (e) The authority of the Joint Steering Committee in respect of
Clinical Review shall continue indefinitely but shall cease upon 30 days' prior
written notice from Mallinckrodt or MBI to the other given at any time after the
latest of: (i) the date that ALBUNEX is approved for sale in both the United
States and in the European Union for an intravenous myocardial perfusion
indication; (ii) the date that ALBUNEX is approved for sale in the United States
and in the European Union for a radiology indication or (iii) the date that
Mallinckrodt ceases to be the exclusive distributor, sales representative and
licensee for ALBUNEX sold in and throughout any territory (except for
sub-distributors appointed by Mallinckrodt or an Affiliate of Mallinckrodt). The
authority of the Joint Steering Committee in respect of Marketing Review shall
continue indefinitely but shall cease in respect of Marketing Review for any
territory on the date that Mallinckrodt ceases to be the exclusive distributor
and sales representative for ALBUNEX sold in and throughout that territory
(except for sub-distributors appointed by Mallinckrodt or an Affiliate of
Mallinckrodt). The authority of the Joint Steering Committee in respect of


<PAGE>

Manufacturing Review shall cease, on a territory by territory basis, at the time
the manufacturing for such territory enters Phase 3.

         2.17 ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS. Mallinckrodt shall make the following
payments to MBI:

         (a) $3 million on the date when the Nycomed Territory Amendment becomes
effective, and MBI acknowledges that Mallinckrodt has previously made this
payment; and

         (b) $4 million upon the first commercial sale of ALBUNEX in Germany by
Mallinckrodt or an Affiliate of Mallinckrodt for an approved intravenous
myocardial perfusion indication, and in this regard, Mallinckrodt shall take all
necessary and appropriate steps to achieve approval at the earliest possible
date for the sale in Germany of ALBUNEX for such an indication; provided,
however, that Mallinckrodt retains the right, based on commercially reasonable
factors, to determine, in a commercially reasonable manner, the appropriate
launch date for ALBUNEX in Germany.

the Nycomed License Amendment and "Licensed Product" is defined in SECTION I.B
of the Nycomed Agreement). SECTION 3.5 of the Nycomed License Amendment also
provides that "[a] separate royalty shall be payable in respect of each Licensed

considered separate Licensed Products ("SEPARATE PRODUCTS"): (i) Infoson; (ii)
the First Generation Product and any substantially similar formulation; (iii) FS
and any substantially similar formulation; and (iv) any other formulation of
ALBUNEX which is not substantially similar to Infoson, the First Generation

following royalty on Net Sales of ALBUNEX in the Nycomed Territory:

                  (a) a royalty of 1.5% (= 2.5% x 0.60) on the first $30 million
         of Net Sales of each Separate Product each calendar year; and

                  (b) a royalty of 2.1% (= 3.5% x 0.60) on Net Sales of each
         Separate Product each calendar year in excess of $30 million.

Royalties payable under this SECTION 3.02D shall be paid pursuant to the
procedures in SECTION 2.14.

pass to Mallinckrodt upon shipment from MBI's warehouse, however, Mallinckrodt
retains the right to reject any shipment after receipt that does not conform to
Product Specifications.

         3.02F    SURVIVAL OF ROYALTY AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS.

         (a) If MBI exercises its rights under SECTIONS 9.01(a) OR (b):

                  (l) Mallinckrodt's royalty obligation to MBI pursuant to
         SECTION 3.02D shall be considered modified to provide for a payment to
         MBI, in respect of each Separate Product, of a percentage of the
         royalty due to Nycomed under Section 3.5 of the Nycomed License
         Amendment in respect of that Separate Product. This percentage shall be
         equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing
         Mallinckrodt's Net Sales of the Separate Product by the Aggregate Net
         Sales of the Separate Product multiplied by (ii) 100. The parties shall
         report their respective portions of the Aggregate Net Sales of each
         Separate Product to one another for purposes of calculating the
         applicable percentage under this SECTION 3.02F(a)(1).


<PAGE>

                  (2) Mallinckrodt's royalty obligation to MBI pursuant to
         SECTION 4.03(c), shall survive and continue, for as long as a royalty
         remains payable by MBI under Section 5.2 of the Feinstein License,
         except that Mallinckrodt's payments to MBI shall be the entire amount
         of the royalty due to Dr. Feinstein under SECTION 5.2(b) of the
         Feinstein License in respect of Licensed Products (as "Licensed
         Products" defined in SECTION 1.2 of the Feinstein License) manufactured
         and sold by Mallinckrodt in the Nycomed Territory.

         (b) If this Agreement terminates following notice from Mallinckrodt

         SECTION 3.02D shall survive and continue, for as long as a royalty
         remains payable by MBI under Section 3.5 of the Nycomed License
         Amendment, except that until the latest of (i) the fifth anniversary of
         the date that the FDA approves an intravenous myocardial perfusion
         indication of ALBUNEX for sale in the United States or (ii) termination
         of this Agreement, the royalty payable by Mallinckrodt on Net Sales of
         ALBUNEX in the Nycomed Territory shall be:

                           (a) 1.5% on the first $30 million of Net Sales of

         due to Nycomed under Section 3.5 of the Nycomed License Amendment in
         respect of each Separate Product. For each Separate Product, this
         percentage shall be equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained
         by dividing Mallinckrodt's Net Sales of the Separate Product by the
         Aggregate Net Sales of the Separate Product multiplied by (ii) 100. The
         parties shall report their respective portions of the Aggregate Net
         Sales of each Separate Product to one another for purposes of
         calculating the applicable percentage under this Section.

                  (2) Mallinckrodt's royalty obligation to MBI pursuant to
         SECTION 4.03(c), shall survive and continue, for as long as a royalty
         remains payable by MBI under Section 5.2 of the Feinstein License,
         except that Mallinckrodt's payments to MBI shall be the entire amount
         of the royalty due to Dr. Feinstein under 5.2(b) of the Feinstein

         in Section 1.2 of the Feinstein License) manufactured and sold by
         Mallinckrodt in the Nycomed Territory.

         (c) If this Agreement terminates following notice from MBI pursuant to
Sections 14.02(b), (d), OR (f), then in addition to the other effects described
in SECTION 14.03:

                  (1) Mallinckrodt's royalty obligation to MBI pursuant to
         SECTION 3.02D shall survive and continue, for as long as a royalty
         remains payable by MBI under Section 3.5 of the Nycomed License
         Amendment, except that Mallinckrodt's payments to MBI shall be a
         percentage of the royalty due to Nycomed under Section 3.5 of the
         Nycomed License Amendment in respect of each Separate Product. For each
         Separate Product, this percentage shall be equal to the product of (i)
         the quotient obtained by dividing Mallinckrodt's Net Sales of the
         Separate Product by the Aggregate Net Sales of the Separate Product
         multiplied by (ii) 100. The parties shall report their respective
         portions of the Aggregate Net Sales of each Separate Product to one
         another for purposes of calculating the applicable percentage under
         this Section.

                  (2) Mallinckrodt's royalty obligation to MBI pursuant to

         of the royalty due to Dr. Feinstein under 5.2(b) of the Feinstein
         License in respect of Licensed Products (as "Licensed Products" is
         defined in Section 1.2 of the Feinstein License) manufactured and sold
         by Mallinckrodt in the Nycomed Territory.

Mallinckrodt shall:

Mallinckrodt has fulfilled this duty to date. In carrying out its future
obligations under this paragraph, Mallinckrodt has the right to balance such
future investments and efforts against historical and potential product
profitability and, in so doing, reach any commercially reasonable judgment it

Mallinckrodt's obligation to pay MBI pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall
increase (in the case of (ii), in respect of the affected territory only) to an
amount equal to the total of MBI's royalty obligation pursuant to the Feinstein
License attributable to Net Sales of ALBUNEX, up to a maximum of 6% of Net Sales

         (b) MBI understands that Mallinckrodt may wish to approach Dr. Steven
B. Feinstein and discuss with him the possibility of a direct license to
Mallinckrodt in the event there is a termination of the Feinstein License.
Mallinckrodt shall advise MBI in advance if it desires to hold such discussions
with Dr. Steven B. Feinstein and MBI shall be permitted to participate in such
discussions, provided, however, MBI shall not be obligated to pay any additional
consideration to Dr. Steven B. Feinstein or to undertake any other additional
financial obligation.

         (c) SECTION 5.2 of the Feinstein License requires MBI to pay Dr.

October 4, 1988, a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent No. 4,718,433, and any
current continuing applications or future applications thereof in the United
States of America or Canada, and of the continuation and maintenance of the 3
U.S. pending patent applications of Dr. Kenneth Widder assigned to MBI in the
United States of America or Canada.

         (b) With respect to any other patent filings, Mallinckrodt and MBI
shall notify the other of any potentially patentable invention relating to
ALBUNEX covering any portion of the Know-how or Technology Rights. The parties
thereafter shall meet and discuss the appropriateness and strategy of filing
patent applications in any country of the Territory, the Additional Territory
and the Nycomed Territory.

         (c) If MBI, in its reasonable discretion, determines to file any patent
application in the Territory, the Additional Territory or the Nycomed Territory
covering any portion of the Know-how or Technology Rights, MBI shall be
responsible for prosecution and maintenance of the patent application, but
Mallinckrodt shall be responsible for the payment of all maintenance fees for
the resulting patent (if issued). (If a third party is contractually required by
an agreement with MBI to pay any such maintenance fees, however, Mallinckrodt
shall have no obligation to pay them unless MBI gives Mallinckrodt written
notice at least 30 days before payment is due that the third party has not yet
paid them, in which case Mallinckrodt shall pay the maintenance fees on or
before the date due if MBI requests (unless, in the meanwhile, the third party
pays them).

         (d) If MBI does not file a particular patent application in the
Territory, the Additional Territory or the Nycomed Territory covering any
portion of the Know-how or Technology Rights, Mallinckrodt may request MBI to do
so, and if MBI declines Mallinckrodt's request (either by informing Mallinckrodt
to that effect or by failing to respond to Mallinckrodt's request within 30 days
after receipt of the request), Mallinckrodt may file, prosecute and maintain
that patent application. MBI shall provide Mallinckrodt with sufficient
information (to the extent in MBI's possession or under its control) and other
cooperation (including necessary signatures of MBI employees) to permit
Mallinckrodt to do so. If Mallinckrodt does so, it shall be responsible for the
payment of all maintenance fees of the resulting patent (if issued).

         (e) MBI and Mallinckrodt shall each cooperate and render reasonable
assistance to the other in connection with the activities contemplated by this
SECTION 8.01.

         8.02 PATENT INFRINGEMENT.

         (a) MALLINCKRODT'S RIGHT TO ENFORCE. Mallinckrodt shall have the right,
with respect to any injury or loss suffered or threatened to be suffered by
Mallinckrodt as a result of the infringement or threatened infringement of MBI's
patents relating to ALBUNEX in the Territory, the Additional Territory or the
Nycomed Territory, to enforce MBI's affected patents and prosecute infringers,
if MBI elects not to bring suit covering such injury or loss within 3 months
after the earlier of (i) the date that MBI learns of any such patent
infringement other than by written notice from Mallinckrodt or (ii) the date
that Mallinckrodt gives MBI written notice of any such patent infringement.

         (b) COOPERATION. In the event either party hereto shall initiate or
carry on legal proceedings to enforce patents against an alleged infringer, the
other party hereto shall fully cooperate with the party initiating or carrying
on-such proceedings.


<PAGE>

         (c) LITIGATION PROCEDURES. Either party shall have the right during the
time that this Agreement is in effect, and subject to its terms (including, but
not limited to, SECTIONS 8.01 AND 8.02(a)), to sue infringers of patents and
either party shall permit the use of its name in all such suits, shall sign all
necessary papers, take all rightful oaths, and upon reasonable request shall
assist the other party in such suits at its own expense.

         (d) LITIGATION BY MALLINCKRODT. In the event Mallinckrodt shall
institute suit or legal proceedings to enforce any patent, MBI shall be entitled
to be represented by counsel of its own choosing, at its sole expense. From any
recovery awarded or settlement reached as a result of such suit or legal
proceedings, Mallinckrodt (i) may deduct the full amount of its expenses of
prosecuting the same (including attorneys' fees and court costs); (ii) shall pay
to MBI, to the extent possible after payment of (i) above, the full amount of
MBI's cost of participating in the same; (iii) shall pay to MBI, after full
payment of (i) and (ii) above, 50% of any remainder to the extent the recovery
or settlement relates to any period in which Mallinckrodt's licenses under this
Agreement had not terminated under SECTION 14.03(b) (with the exception in
either case that to the extent that the recovery or settlement is in respect of
Mallinckrodt's injuries or losses regarding ALBUNEX manufactured by
Mallinckrodt, the amount payable to MBI under this SECTION 8.02(d) (iii) shall
be a percentage of the remainder determined in a manner consistent with the
royalty payable by Mallinckrodt in respect of Net Sales of such ALBUNEX, as the
case may be); and (iv) may retain the balance. Mallinckrodt shall not
discontinue or settle any such suit or other legal proceedings brought by it
without obtaining the prior concurrence of MBI, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld and giving MBI a timely opportunity to continue such proceedings in its
own name, under its sole control at its sole expense, provided that
Mallinckrodt's reasonable litigation expenses (including attorneys fees and
court costs) shall be reimbursed by MBI.

         (e) LITIGATION BY MBI. In the event MBI shall institute suit or legal
proceedings to enforce any patent and the suit or legal proceedings are, in
whole or in part, in respect of any injury or loss suffered or threatened to be
suffered by Mallinckrodt as a result of the infringement or threatened
infringement of MBI's patents relating to ALBUNEX in the Territory, the
Additional Territory or the Nycomed Territory, Mallinckrodt shall be entitled to
be represented by counsel of its own choosing, at its sole expense. From any
recovery awarded or settlement reached as a result of such suit or legal
proceedings, MBI (i) may deduct the full amount of its expenses of prosecuting
the same (including attorneys' fees and court costs); (ii) shall pay to
Mallinckrodt, to the extent possible after payment of (i) above, the full amount
of Mallinckrodt's cost of participating in the same; (iii) shall pay to
Mallinckrodt, after full payment of (i) and (ii) above, 50% of any remainder to
the extent the recovery or settlement relates to any period thereafter in which
Mallinckrodt's licenses under this Agreement had not terminated under SECTION
14.03(b) and is in respect of Mallinckrodt's injuries or losses (with the
exception in either case that to the extent that the recovery or settlement is
in respect of Mallinckrodt's injuries or losses regarding ALBUNEX manufactured
by Mallinckrodt, the amount payable to Mallinckrodt under this SECTION 8.02(e)
(iii) shall be the remainder less a percentage of the remainder determined in a
manner consistent with the royalty payable by Mallinckrodt in respect of Net
Sales of such ALBUNEX, as the case may be); and (iv) may retain the balance. MBI
shall not discontinue or settle any such suit or other legal proceedings brought
by it without obtaining the prior concurrence of Mallinckrodt, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, and giving Mallinckrodt a timely opportunity to
continue such proceedings in its own name, under its sole control, and at its
sole expense, provided that MBI's reasonable litigation expenses (including
attorneys fees and court costs) shall be reimbursed by Mallinckrodt.

         8.03 PATENT INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a) MBI shall indemnify and hold harmless Mallinckrodt against any and
all Losses based on and resulting from any claim of infringement of any patent
of a third party in the United States of America, Canada, any of the countries
of Western Europe (as that term is commonly understood), Japan, Australia or New
Zealand and which claim arises from Mallinckrodt's manufacture, use or sale of
ALBUNEX pursuant to this Agreement.

         (b) With respect to any other Losses based on and resulting from any
claim of infringement of any patent in a country in the Territory, the
Additional Territory or the Nycomed Territory (other than a country named or
referred to SECTION 8.03(a)) and which claim arose from Mallinckrodt's
manufacture, use or sale of ALBUNEX pursuant to this Agreement, Mallinckrodt
shall be responsible for 60% of any such Loss and MBI shall be responsible for
40% of any such Loss (with the exception that if any such Loss is in respect of
ALBUNEX manufactured by Mallinckrodt, MBI shall be responsible for a percentage
of the Loss determined in a manner

<PAGE>

consistent with the royalty payable by Mallinckrodt in respect of Net Sales of
such ALBUNEX, as the case may be and Mallinckrodt shall be responsible for the
remainder of the Loss).

         (c) In the event any third party asserts any claim with respect to any
matter as to which the indemnities in this SECTION 8.03 relate, the party
against whom the claim is asserted shall give prompt notice to the other party.
The party who has the responsibility to pay the entire potential Loss or the
greatest share of the potential Loss, as the case may be (the "INDEMNIFYING
PARTY"), shall have the right at its election to take over the defense or
settlement of the third party claim at its own expense by giving prompt notice
to the other party (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"). If the Indemnifying Party does not
give such notice and does not proceed diligently so to defend the third party
claim within 30 days after receipt of the notice of the third party claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the
Indemnified Party may make as to those claims, and shall reimburse the
Indemnified Party for its Losses and expenses related to the defense or
settlement of the third party claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be bound by
any settlement that the Indemnified Party may make, however, only if the
Indemnified Party gives the Indemnifying Party at least 15 days prior written
notice of the settlement and either (i) the Indemnifying Party does not object
to the proposed settlement by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 10
days after receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice or (ii) if the Indemnifying
Party does timely object to the proposed settlement, the Indemnifying Party does
not at the same time agree to (A) undertake the further defense of the third
party claim, (B) indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Loss in excess of its
proposed settlement and (C) reimburse the Indemnified Party for its reasonable
expenses related to the defense of the third party claim. Upon request of the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be consulted from time to time
and be informed of the status of the third party claim. The parties shall
cooperate in defending against any asserted third party claims. For purposes of
this SECTION 8.03, the indemnification of the Indemnified Party shall also
include the indemnification of the Indemnified Party's employees, agents,
Affiliates, and third parties performing services for the Indemnified Party.

         (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the manufacture or
sale of ALBUNEX or use of ALBUNEX for fundamental ultrasound imaging, in
Mallinckrodt's and MBI's reasonable judgment present potential infringement
problems with respect to any patent owned by a third party, and in
Mallinckrodt's and MBI's reasonable judgment it is commercially reasonable to
secure a license thereunder, Mallinckrodt and MBI shall attempt to secure a
license thereunder for Mallinckrodt and MBI. Any known or unknown claims
voluntarily settled in this manner that result in an up-front license fee or
royalty, if settled on terms satisfactory to Mallinckrodt, or any known or
unknown claims that result in an up-front license fee or royalty imposed by
court order, shall be paid up to 50% by Mallinckrodt solely out of its future
Net Sales of ALBUNEX and subject to a cap (for all settlements and court-ordered
license fees or royalties treated cumulatively) of 4% of such Net Sales of
ALBUNEX and the remainder paid by MBI, subject to the following additional
conditions: (i) Subject to the 4% cumulative cap, Mallinckrodt will prepay 50%
of any up-front license fees (treated cumulatively) up to a maximum amount of
$5,000,000; (ii) any prepayment made by Mallinckrodt under subsection (i) shall
be non-refundable and shall be offset against any quarterly payments owed by
Mallinckrodt pursuant to subsection (iii); (iii) Subject to the 4% cumulative
cap and the offset of prepaid license fees, Mallinckrodt will pay its share of
any up-front license fees not covered by the $5,000,000 prepayment, plus 50% of
any royalties (treated cumulatively), over time and on a quarterly basis in
amounts not to exceed 4% of each quarter's Net Sales of ALBUNEX. If a settlement
is not satisfactory to Mallinckrodt and MBI enters into a settlement agreement
despite Mallinckrodt's objection, then MBI shall pay 100% of the obligations
resulting from such settlement.

         (e) The foregoing Section 8.03(a) shall not apply to any method of
imaging claims in patents owned by a third party (other than any one or more of
the Plaintiffs) that cover a method of ultrasound imaging other than fundamental
ultrasound imaging.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                            RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE ALBUNEX

         9.01 NEGOTIATIONS TO ACQUIRE ALBUNEX. For a period (the "EXCLUSIVE
PERIOD") commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending on the fifth
anniversary of the date that the FDA approves an intravenous myocardial
perfusion indication of ALBUNEX for sale in the United States, MBI shall not
sell or otherwise dispose of (by license or otherwise) any of its rights, assets
or technology relating to ALBUNEX or MBI's interest in any Technology Rights or
Know-How. During the Exclusive Period either MBI or Mallinckrodt may initiate
good faith discussions regarding the acquisition by Mallinckrodt of any of the
foregoing.

           If, at the end of the Exclusive Period, Mallinckrodt and MBI have not
agreed to such an acquisition, MBI shall have the following options separately
as to each of the Territory, the Additional Territory and the Nycomed Territory:

         (a) Subject to the right of Mallinckrodt to continue to make, use,
distribute and sell ALBUNEX in the same territory pursuant to the licenses
granted in ARTICLE 7, MBI may co-market and distribute ALBUNEX in a particular
territory under the MBI label and for its own account and may do so in the same
manner (including, but not limited to, the use of distributors or sales
representatives), on a country-by-country basis, as Mallinckrodt from time to
time may market and distribute ALBUNEX in that territory;

         (b) Subject to (i) the right of Mallinckrodt to continue to make, use,
distribute and sell ALBUNEX in the same territory pursuant to this Agreement,
(ii) Mallinckrodt's right of first refusal under SECTION 9.02 and (iii) the
restrictions set forth in SECTIONS 9.01(d), (e) AND (f), as of the fifth
anniversary of the date that the FDA approves an intravenous myocardial
perfusion indication of ALBUNEX for sale in the United States, MBI may sell or
dispose of (by license or otherwise) to a single transferee, other than pursuant
to an assignment permitted in ARTICLE 16.02(d), in a single transaction, all but
not less than all, of MBI's rights, assets and technology relating to ALBUNEX in
a particular territory and all, but not less than all, of MBI's interest in any
Technology Rights or Know-how as it relates to that territory, and such
transferee shall not be subject to the any of the limitations and restrictions
on MBI under SECTION 9.01, except for the restrictions in SECTION 9.01(e), or to
Mallinckrodt's right of first refusal under SECTION 9.02; or

         (c) MBI may continue its existing relationship with Mallinckrodt
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in a particular territory, subject to
MBI's option to exercise its rights under SECTIONS 9.01(a) OR (b) at a later
time. The exercise of option (a) by MBI at any time in respect of a particular
territory shall not preclude MBI from exercising option (b) at a later time in
respect of that territory.

         (d) If MBI exercises any of its options under SECTIONS 9.01(a) AND (b)
in respect of any territory, Mallinckrodt may manufacture ALBUNEX in any
quantities for sale in that territory and no royalty shall be payable to MBI in
respect of Net Sales in that territory of ALBUNEX manufactured after MBI's
exercise of the option in question.

         (e) MBI or any of its licensees exercising their rights under SECTIONS
9.01(a) OR (b) must purchase all ALBUNEX only from Mallinckrodt.

         (f) If, at any time, MBI elects to exercise any of its rights under
SECTIONS 9.01(a) OR (b), MBI or whoever performs the services must immediately
pay to Mallinckrodt an amount equal to the aggregate of: (i) one-half of the
expenses paid by Mallinckrodt to secure approval of cardiology indications of
OPTISON in the United States, (ii) one-half of the Technology Transfer Costs
paid by Mallinckrodt under Section 2.03(a) (both payments and reimbursements)
and (iii) one-half of any license fees, milestone payments or the like received
by MBI pursuant to MBI's exercise of its rights under Sections 9.01(a) or (b).


<PAGE>

         9.02 MALLINCKRODT'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. MBI grants Mallinckrodt a
right of first refusal to purchase MBI's rights, assets and technology relating
to ALBUNEX in each of the Territory, the Additional Territory, the Nycomed
Territory and the Asian Territory, and MBI's interest in any Technology Rights
or Know-how (collectively, in respect of any particular territory, the
"ASSETS"), as follows:

         (a) If MBI proposes to sell the Assets, MBI shall give Mallinckrodt
written notice of MBI's intention (the "SALES NOTICE"), providing all relevant
details and copies of all relevant documents, including but not limited to any
letter of intent and any draft or executory sales agreement.

         (b) Mallinckrodt shall have 45 days from the date it receives MBI's
Sales Notice in which to exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the
Assets specified in the Sales Notice, at the purchase price and on the terms
specified in the Sales Notice, by giving MBI written notice to that effect. If
Mallinckrodt notifies MBI that Mallinckrodt declines to exercise its right of
first refusal, or if Mallinckrodt fails to exercise its right of first refusal
in a timely manner, MBI may proceed to sell the Assets to the purchaser
identified in the Sales Notice but only at a purchase price and on terms at
least as favorable to MBI as those specified in the Sales Notice. If MBI fails
to consummate such sale within 75 days of the Sales Notice, then the provisions
of this SECTION 9.02 shall thereafter apply to any subsequent proposed
disposition of the Assets.

         (c) If the purchase price specified in the Sales Notice includes any
property other than money, MBI and Mallinckrodt shall jointly determine the
value of this other property. If they are unable to agree on its value within 45
days from the date Mallinckrodt receives MBI's Sales Notice, they shall each
promptly select a nationally or regionally recognized investment banking firm or
consulting firm, and these 2 firms shall select a third such firm (the
"VALUATION FIRM") to determine the value of this other property. The Valuation
Firm's determination shall be conclusive. MBI and Mallinckrodt shall use their
best efforts to ensure that the Valuation Firm makes its determination not later
than 5 business days after its selection. The period in which Mallinckrodt may
exercise its right of first refusal shall be extended to 5 business days after
the Valuation Firm's determination. MBI and Mallinckrodt shall each pay the fees
of the firm that it selects and one-half of the fees of the Valuation Firm.

         (d) In the case of a proposed sale of the Assets relating to the
Territory, Mallinckrodt shall have a credit against the purchase price specified
in MBI's Sales Notice equal to:

                  (1) the sum of the payments by Mallinckrodt pursuant to
         SECTIONS 4.01 AND 4.02 less

                  (2) an amount equal to 20% of Net Sales in the Territory prior
         to the date of Mallinckrodt's receipt of the Sales Notice (if such
         difference is less than zero, there shall be no credit).

         (e) In the case of a proposed sale of the Assets relating to the
Nycomed Territory, Mallinckrodt shall have a credit against the purchase price
specified in MBI's Sales Notice equal to:

                  (1) the sum of the payments by Mallinckrodt pursuant to
         SECTIONS 3.02C(a) AND (b) less

                  (2) an amount equal to 20% of Net Sales in the Nycomed
         Territory prior to the date of Mallinckrodt's receipt of the Sales
         Notice (if such difference is less than zero, there shall be no
         credit).

         (f) In the case of a proposed sale of the Assets relating to the Asian
Territory, Mallinckrodt shall have a credit against the purchase price specified
in MBI's Sales Notice equal to:

                  (1) the sum of the payments by Mallinckrodt to acquire any
         rights in any of the Asian Territories less

                  (2) an amount equal to 20% of Net Sales in the Asian Territory
         prior to the date of Mallinckrodt's receipt of the Sales Notice (if
         such difference is less than zero, there shall be no credit).


<PAGE>

         (g) If Mallinckrodt exercises its right of first refusal, closing of
its purchase shall take place on the date and at the location that the parties
agree on, but no later than 75 days after the date of Mallinckrodt's notice to
MBI exercising Mallinckrodt's right of first refusal. If Mallinckrodt does not
exercise its right of first refusal, any sale is subject to Mallinckrodt's
rights under this Agreement.

         9.03 MALLINCKRODT ABANDONMENT OF ALBUNEX, EXCLUDING INFOSON AND FIRST
GENERATION PRODUCT.

         (a) Other than Infoson and the First Generation Product, Mallinckrodt
shall be deemed to have abandoned ALBUNEX if all of the following conditions
occur after the Launch Date:

                  (1) ALBUNEX may be lawfully sold in the United States of
         America in interstate commerce, without any threat of infringement upon
         any third party rights, any threat of any action by any regulatory
         agency, including but not limited to the FDA, or any threat of product
         recall, or any danger to the safety of the users of ALBUNEX or the
         public generally;

                  (2) MBI has supplied and continues to offer to supply, ALBUNEX
         in sufficient quantities to Mallinckrodt conforming to the Product
         Specifications during Phases 1 and 2; and

                  (3) Mallinckrodt has failed to offer at least one Albunex
         Product, other than Infoson and the First Generation Product, for sale
         in the ordinary course of business for a continuous period of not less
         than 180 days.

         (b) Upon satisfaction of all the conditions described in SECTION
9.02(a) and receipt by Mallinckrodt of the following:

                  (1) Payment by cashier's check or by wire transfer in
         immediately available funds an amount equal to the sums previously paid
         by Mallinckrodt to MBI pursuant to SECTIONS 4.01 AND 4.02; and

                  (2) An Unconditional Waiver and Release pursuant to which MBI
         waives any and all rights, claims, damages or other remedies against
         Mallinckrodt relating to or out of this Agreement, in a form
         satisfactory to counsel for Mallinckrodt;

this Agreement shall terminate.

         9.04 MALLINCKRODT FAILURE TO EXPEND ADEQUATE RESOURCES. (FOR HISTORICAL
PURPOSES ONLY)

         (a) Mallinckrodt shall be deemed to have failed to commit adequate
resources to the marketing, sale or distribution of ALBUNEX if all of the
following conditions occur:

                  (1) Prior to the Launch Date Mallinckrodt fails to spend at
         least $500,000 in out of pocket costs in the pre-marketing, marketing,
         sales, distribution, or promotion of ALBUNEX, including but not limited
         to advertising, marketing literature, symposia, focus groups, product
         promotion, trade and industry shows, and the recruitment of medical and
         scientific opinion leaders;

                  (2) During the first year following the Launch Date
         Mallinckrodt fails to spend at least $500,000 in out of pocket costs in
         the marketing, sales, distribution, or promotion of ALBUNEX, including
         but not limited to advertising, marketing literature, symposia, focus
         groups, product promotion, trade and industry shows, and the
         recruitment of medical and scientific opinion leaders; and

                  (3) Mallinckrodt fails to spend such amounts within the 180
         day period beginning on the date MBI notifies Mallinckrodt in writing
         that Mallinckrodt has failed to spend the such amounts.


<PAGE>

         (b) Upon satisfaction of all the conditions described in SECTION
9.03(a) and receipt by Mallinckrodt of payment by cashier's check or by wire
transfer in immediately available funds in an amount equal to one-half of the
sums previously paid by Mallinckrodt to MBI pursuant to SECTIONS 4.01 AND 4.02,
subject to the right of Mallinckrodt to continue to distribute and sell ALBUNEX
in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement, the provisions of ARTICLE 2 shall
terminate and MBI may co-market and distribute ALBUNEX in the Territory under
the MBI label and for its own account and may do so in the same manner
(including, but not limited to, the use of distributors or sales
representatives), on a country-by-country basis, as Mallinckrodt from time to
time may market and distribute ALBUNEX in the Territory.

         (c) MBI acknowledges that Mallinckrodt has not failed to commit
adequate resources to the marketing, sale or distribution of ALBUNEX, as
described in SECTION 9.03(a).

                                   ARTICLE 10

            PAYMENTS TO KEY EMPLOYEES (FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES ONLY)

         10.01    KEY EMPLOYEE PAYMENTS.

         (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this SECTION 10.01, during
the 2 year period commencing on the Launch Date of ALBUNEX by Mallinckrodt if
the first commercial sale of ALBUNEX after the Launch Date actually occurs,
Mallinckrodt shall, at times to be agreed to by the parties, pay to MBI an
aggregate of $2,500,000 upon accomplishment of the milestones described in
SECTION 10.01(b). Mallinckrodt and MBI agree that a minimum payment shall be due
by the due date of MBI's tax return for MBI's tax year in which the first
commercial sale of ALBUNEX after the Launch Date actually occurs (including
extensions thereof as are actually obtained by MBI) of an amount equal to that
which is certified by MBI's independent public accountants to be the increase in
MBI's actual federal and state income tax liability, if any, due on such date as
a result of MBI's accrual into income of the full amount to be paid by
Mallinckrodt under this SECTION 10.01 provided that no such minimum payment
shall be due prior to the first actual commercial Salem ALBUNEX after the Launch
Date. MBI shall advise Mallinckrodt of this amount no later than 30 days prior
to the filing of MBI's return and shall afford Mallinckrodt a reasonable
opportunity to verify the accuracy of such amount. The amounts paid by
Mallinckrodt to MBI shall be distributed by MBI to such employees of MBI as
shall be mutually agreed to by MBI and Mallinckrodt.

         (b) The portion of the $2,500,000 attributable to the accomplishment of
the applicable milestone shall be determined as follows:

</TABLE>


The foregoing amounts relating to any particular milestone shall be due and
payable so long as the stated milestone is achieved by MBI and the first
commercial sale of ALBUNEX after the Launch Date actually occurs. If any
particular milestone is not achieved, then Mallinckrodt shall have no obligation
to pay the amount related to such milestone. In no event shall Mallinckrodt be
obligated to make payments except with respect to the first instance in which a
particular milestone is achieved and then only if the first commercial sale of
ALBUNEX after the Launch Date actually occurs.

         (c) As each milestone is achieved by MBI, the amount related to such
milestone will accrue and bear interest at the from time to time prime rate of
interest of Citibank, N.A. commencing on the date the related payment under
SECTION 4.01 is due until the amount is paid. Notwithstanding anything in this
SECTION 10.01 to the contrary, Mallinckrodt shall have no obligation to make any
payments under this SECTION 10.01, including interest, unless and until
Mallinckrodt or its Affiliates makes its first commercial sale of ALBUNEX after
the Launch Date.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SECTION 10.01, no
MBI employee shall be a third party beneficiary to this SECTION 10.01 and shall
not be entitled to bring suit to enforce this SECTION 10.01.

         10.02 PAYMENTS. MBI acknowledges that Mallinckrodt has previously made
all of the payments that Mallinckrodt was required to make under SECTION 10.01.

                              COMMERCIAL VIABILITY

         11.01 DETERMINATION OF COMMERCIAL VIABILITY. If the commercial
viability of ALBUNEX is seriously jeopardized such that the continued
development of ALBUNEX will not result in a commercially viable product to
Mallinckrodt, then Mallinckrodt shall initiate good faith discussions with MBI
to terminate this Agreement effective with the date such discussions are
initiated, provided however, that if such discussions do not result in
resolution of the matter, they shall be subject to arbitration under ARTICLE 12
to determine if the commercial viability of ALBUNEX is seriously jeopardized
such that the continued development of ALBUNEX will not result in a commercially
viable product to Mallinckrodt. If such arbitrators determine that the
commercial viability of ALBUNEX is so jeopardized, then Mallinckrodt shall have
the immediate right to terminate this Agreement effective with the date such
discussions were initiated. This SECTION 11.01 shall be effective until the FDA
permits the marketing of ALBUNEX for (i) intravenous myocardial profusion
indication and (ii) radiological indications.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         12.01 BINDING ARBITRATION. Except as otherwise provided in SECTION
12.02, any claim, dispute, question or controversy arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any amendment or modification hereto, or breach thereof
(undisputed), shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the procedures
specified in this Section, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for
the resolution of any such disputes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a party, without
prejudice to the procedures specified herein, may institute litigation for the
limited purposes of tolling any applicable statute of limitations or to seek a
temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other provisional
judicial relief, if in its sole judgement such action is necessary to avoid
irreparable damage or to preserve the STATUS QUO. Despite such action, the
parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified
in this Section.


<PAGE>

         The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then current
AAA rules for commercial disputes by three independent and impartial arbitrators
from a list provided by AAA and selected as provided herein. The Expedited Rules
of the AAA shall apply. Each party shall select an arbitrator and, then, the two
selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator. The arbitration shall be
binding and shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
Sections 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be
entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall
be St. Louis County, Missouri. The arbitrators are empowered to award attorneys
fees and expenses in the arbitration. The award of the arbitrators shall be in
writing, and shall state the reasoning on which the award is based.

         Any arbitration shall be confidential. No arbitrator may testify or
produce materials, or be compelled to testify or to produce materials, in any
proceeding related to any dispute.

         All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the
passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in the Section
are pending. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate
such tolling. This Section is an essential part of this Agreement, is legally
binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.

         12.02 INJUNCTIONS. The parties recognize and agree that arbitration is
inadequate to enforce (a) the confidential restrictions contained in ARTICLE 5
and the provisions in ARTICLES 2 OR 6 regarding compliance with governmental
health and safety laws and regulations a breach of which would pose an imminent
danger to public health and safety, (b) the provisions requiring arbitration, or
(c) the sale of ALBUNEX by Mallinckrodt in the continents of Europe, Asia,
Africa or Australia other than as and when permitted by this Agreement (each
singularly, an "EVENT"), a violation of any will cause irreparable harm and
unascertainable damages. The parties agree that an aggrieved party shall be
entitled as a matter of right to an injunction from a court of competent
jurisdiction restraining any actual or threatened Event. The right to injunctive
relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and
remedies of the aggrieved party under this Agreement, by statute, at law, in
equity or otherwise (such as the right to arbitrate Disputes, requiring an
accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation, remuneration or other
benefits realized in violation of this Agreement).

         12.03 COSTS AND MISSOURI COURTS. The fees and expenses of the
arbitrators shall be shared equally by Mallinckrodt and MBI. Mallinckrodt and
MBI consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Missouri, and if such District Court shall not have
jurisdiction in the matter for any reason, to the jurisdiction of the Circuit
Court of the State of Missouri for the 21st Judicial Circuit, for all purposes
in connection with this Agreement, including entry of judgment relating to any
award of the arbitrators. The arbitration and any award rendered pursuant
thereto shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of Missouri.

         12.04 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies granted in this
Agreement or available under applicable law shall be deemed concurrent and
cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive remedies, to the full extent
permitted by law and this Agreement. Any party may proceed with any number of
remedies at the same time or in any order. The exercise of any one right or
remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                                 INDEMNIFICATION


<PAGE>

         13.01 INDEMNIFICATION BY MBI. MBI shall indemnify and hold harmless
Mallinckrodt against any and all Losses based on or resulting from (i) any
breach of the representations and warranties of MBI contained herein; (ii) any
breach of any warranty by MBI (express or implied) relating to ALBUNEX; (iii)
any or all claims arising from the use of ALBUNEX provided by MBI to
Mallinckrodt pursuant to ARTICLE 2, including, but not limited to, any claim for
death or personal injury or damage or loss of property which shall have been
caused or alleged to have been caused by any negligence on the part of MBI or
its agents, any defect in design, materials or workmanship used in ALBUNEX or
any claim under a theory of strict liability; (iv) any inaccuracies contained in
the Product Literature based on information provided by MBI or any other
information supplied by MBI with ALBUNEX; (v) any governmental recall of ALBUNEX
due to or arising out of an act or omission of MBI, or, (vi) in the event that
ALBUNEX (other than ALBUNEX manufactured by a party other than MBI or an
Affiliate of MBI) is found not to comply with any governmental regulations, for
any costs or expenses incurred by Mallinckrodt to bring ALBUNEX into compliance
with such regulations after consultation with MBI, including, but not limited,
any costs and expenses of securing any required governmental permits.

         13.02 INDEMNIFICATION BY MALLINCKRODT. Mallinckrodt shall indemnify and
hold harmless MBI against any and all Losses sustained by MBI resulting from,
arising out of or connected with (i) any inaccuracy in, breach of or
nonfulfillment of, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by,
or other obligation of, Mallinckrodt contained in this Agreement or (ii) any or
all claims arising from the use of ALBUNEX manufactured by Mallinckrodt or
acquired by Mallinckrodt from a third party (E.G., Hafslund Nycomed AS),
including, but not limited to, any claim for death or personal injury or damage
or loss of property which shall have been caused or alleged to have been caused
(with respect to ALBUNEX so manufactured or acquired) by (A) any negligence on
the part of Mallinckrodt, its agents or supplier or suppliers of ALBUNEX, (B)
any defect in design, materials or workmanship used in such ALBUNEX or (C) any
claim under a theory of strict liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Mallinckrodt breaches one of the representations or warranties set forth in
SECTION 6.02 concerning manufacturing pursuant to SECTION 13.02(i), Mallinckrodt
shall not be liable for lost profits.

         13.03 PROCEDURES. In the event any third party asserts any claim with
respect to any matter as to which the indemnities in this Agreement relate, the
party against whom the claim is asserted (the Indemnified Party) shall give
prompt notice to the other party (the Indemnifying Party), and the Indemnifying
Party shall have the right at its election to take over the defense or
settlement of the third party claim at its own expense by giving prompt notice
to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not give such notice
and does not proceed diligently so to defend the third party claim within 30
days after receipt of the notice of the third party claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may
make as to those claims and shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for its Losses
and expenses related to the defense or settlement of the third party claim. The
parties shall cooperate in defending against any asserted third party claims.
For purposes of this ARTICLE 13, the indemnification of the Indemnified Party
shall also include the indemnification of the Indemnified Party's employees,
agents, Affiliates, and third parties performing services for the Indemnified
Party, and the reference to this Agreement includes any certificate, schedule,
list, summary or other information provided or delivered to a party by the
Indemnifying Party or its agents and Affiliates in connection with this
Agreement.

                              TERM AND TERMINATION

         14.01 TERM. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this

         (a)  At any time by mutual written consent of MBI and Mallinckrodt; or

         (b) By either party by notice to the other in the event such other

<PAGE>

SECTION 16.02, or in the event such other party shall have been determined to be
insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, or insolvency or reorganization

shall have been brought against such other party and remained undismissed for a
period of 60 days or such other party shall have made a general assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or a receiver of all or substantially all of such
other party's assets shall have been appointed and not discharged within 60
days; or

         (c) By Mallinckrodt, if MBI shall fail to timely make any payment
required by this Agreement and such payment shall not have been made within 30
days after receipt of written demand therefore from Mallinckrodt unless MBI is,
in good faith, contesting or disputing its obligation to make any such payment
or disputing the amount thereof; or

         (d) By MBI, if Mallinckrodt shall fail to timely make any payment
required by this Agreement and such payment shall not have been made within 30
days after receipt of written demand therefore from MBI unless Mallinckrodt is,
in good faith, contesting or disputing its obligation to make any such payment
or disputing the amount thereof; or

         (e) By Mallinckrodt by notice to MBI in the event of a breach or
default by MBI of any material obligation, covenant, agreement, condition,
representation or warranty in this Agreement (other than (i) a breach or default
covered by SECTION 14.02(c) or (ii) a breach or default of any of MBI's
Manufacturing Obligations) if Mallinckrodt shall have given written notice to
MBI of such breach or default and such breach or default shall not have been

default by Mallinckrodt of any material obligation, covenant or agreement in
this Agreement (other than (i) a breach or default covered by SECTION 14.02(d),

reasonable steps shall not have been undertaken to remedy such breach or default
within such period and shall not have been diligently pursued thereafter.

         (g) Notwithstanding Mallinckrodt's continuing authority to manufacture
under SECTION 14.03, if MBI has terminated this Agreement pursuant to SECTIONS
14.02(b), (d) OR (f) and if Mallinckrodt fails to make any undisputed royalty
payment due to MBI under this Agreement when due (and does not cure its default
within 30 days), the manufacturing license granted to Mallinckrodt under SECTION

         14.03    SURVIVAL OF MALLINCKRODT LICENSES AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

         (a) If this Agreement terminates by the expiration of its term under

<PAGE>

         (i) the fifth anniversary of the date that the FDA approves an
         intravenous myocardial perfusion indication of ALBUNEX for sale in the

         which occasions the termination of the Agreement. For purposes of this
         SECTION 14.03(c)(3), damages means actual damages and does not include
         incidental, consequential or punitive damages, but (notwithstanding
         this limitation) does include lost profits on sales of ALBUNEX for the

         time Mallinckrodt is lawfully permitted to operate an ALBUNEX
         manufacturing facility capable of producing the Albunex Product in
         question to meet Mallinckrodt's requirements, but in no event beyond
         five years after the date this Agreement is executed.

         (d) If this Agreement terminates following notice from MBI pursuant to
SECTIONS 14.02(b), (d), (f) OR (g):

                  (1) the licenses granted to Mallinckrodt by MBI under this
         Agreement shall survive and continue as perpetual and irrevocable
         licenses but shall become non-exclusive;

                  (2) Mallinckrodt's right of first refusal under SECTION 9.02
shall terminate; and

                  (3) Mallinckrodt may continue to manufacture MBI Licensed
         Products in any quantities. With respect to the exercise of such right,
         Mallinckrodt shall pay to MBI after the date of termination a royalty
         at the rate of 10% of the Net Sales of such products. Mallinckrodt's
         royalty obligation under this Section shall continue until the last
         patent licensed in SECTION 7.01 expires.

         14.04 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Warranty, confidentiality and
indemnification obligations of the parties shall survive termination.

promptly if it shall have occurred.

matter hereof and the terms applicable hereto. Mallinckrodt shall not be bound
by and expressly objects to any provisions additional to or at variance with the
terms hereof that may appear in MBI's quotation, acknowledgement, confirmation,
invoice or in any other prior or later communication from MBI to Mallinckrodt
unless such provision is expressly agreed to in writing by Mallinckrodt
referring to this SECTION 16.07 signed by the Chief Executive Officer or a Vice
President of Mallinckrodt. MBI shall not be bound by and expressly objects to
any provisions additional to or at variance with the terms hereof that may
appear in Mallinckrodt's quotation, acknowledgement, confirmation, invoice or in
any other prior or later communication from Mallinckrodt to MBI unless such
provision is expressly agreed to in writing by MBI referring to this SECTION
16.07 signed by the President of MBI.

         16.08 HEADINGS AND REFERENCES; INCORPORATION OF EXHIBITS. In general,
the headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall not be a part, control or affect the meaning hereof,
with the exception of the heading "For Historical Purposes Only", which shall
mean that the applicable Section is not an effective part of the Agreement, but
rather, that the Section is included only for its value as an historical
reference. All references herein to Articles and Sections are to the Articles
and Sections of this Agreement. All references herein to Appendices are to the
Appendices hereto, each of which shall be incorporated into and deemed a part of
this Agreement.

         16.09 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

         16.10 SETOFF. If within 30 days after receipt of written demand any
amount required to be paid hereunder is not paid and unless the payer is, in
good faith, contesting or disputing its obligation to make any such payment or
disputing the amount thereof, the payee may set-off any and all amounts owed by
the payee to the payor against any and all amounts owed by the payer to the
payee.

         16.11 PAYMENT FOR EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, AND INVENTORY. Mallinckrodt
shall purchase from MBI at fair market value all manufacturing equipment and
supplies that it deems necessary, desirable or useful in establishing
Mallinckrodt's Manufacturing Operations. Mallinckrodt will purchase from MBI at
cost all inventories that are useful to Mallinckrodt in manufacturing and
marketing OPTISON, so long as Mallinckrodt was involved in the decision to
purchase such inventories.

         16.12 HSR FILINGS. MBI and Mallinckrodt shall each comply with the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the
"HART-SCOTT-RODINO ACT"), by filing a pre-merger notification with the


<PAGE>

U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission as promptly as
practicable after signing this Agreement, and shall respond promptly to any
inquires from the Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission as a
result of these filings. [FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES ONLY]

         16.13 EFFECTIVE DATE. To the extent that this Agreement is a
restatement of:

         (a) the Original Distribution Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed
to have been effective since December 7, 1988;

         (b)      ARDA, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been effective
                  since:

                  (1)      December 7, 1988, if such provision was restated by
                           ARDA,

                  (2)      September 7, 1995, for SECTION 16.12, or

                  (3)      the expiration or termination of the applicable
                           waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, if
                           such provision was changed by ARDA;

         (c) the Nycomed Territory Amendment and the Supplemental Letter, this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been effective since November 6, 1996.

         To the extent that this Agreement is an amendment of ARDA, as amended
by the Nycomed Territory Amendment and the Supplemental Letter, all changes
shall be effective as of the date that this Agreement is signed.

         16.14 RESEARCH QUANTITIES. MBI has received requests from researchers
and clinicians for samples of the First Generation Product. MBI may (but shall
not be required to) fill these requests if doing so is legally permissible as
long as the quantities provided are minimal and intended only for non-clinical
basic research. MBI shall keep Mallinckrodt promptly and fully informed of MBI's
activities in this regard.

         16.15 SALES SUPPORT AGREEMENT. As of the Effective Date, the Sales
Support Agreement between MBI and Mallinckrodt will be rescinded without
liability or obligation to either party.

         16.16 EFFECT OF ARBITRATION ON TERMINATION. This Agreement shall not be
deemed terminated by a party pursuant to SECTIONS 14.02(b), (c), (d), (e), (f)
OR (g) if the other party is disputing the propriety of termination (including
but not limited to whether a cure has been effected or reasonable steps have
been taken to cure and have been diligently pursued, where applicable) and such
party has timely filed or served the appropriate instrument to invoke an
arbitration proceeding under SECTION 12.01 of this Agreement. Such filing or
service shall be deemed timely if it takes place (i) in the case of a SECTION
14.02(b) termination, within 30 days of the notice described in the first clause
of that Section, or (ii) in the case of a SECTION 14.02(c), (d), (e) OR (f)
termination, prior to the expiration of the applicable remedial period. In the
case of a SECTION 14.02(b) termination in which the arbitrators rule in favor of
the party seeking termination, if the termination is based on dissolution,
ceasing business operations, or liquidation, the agreement shall be deemed
terminated; if the termination is based on any other termination event described
in that Section, the unsuccessful party shall have 60 days to dismiss the
proceeding or discharge the assignee, as the case may be. In the case of a
SECTION 14.02(c), (d), (e), or (f) termination, the unsuccessful party shall
have the full applicable remedial period from the date of the arbitrators'
decision to effect a cure, provided that any additional arbitration over whether
the cure is effective in such case shall stay termination for no more than 30
days unless the arbitrators rule otherwise before that period of time expires.
In the case of a SECTION 14.02(c) OR (d) termination, following the arbitrators'
decision the unsuccessful party may not further forestall termination by
claiming a good faith dispute.

         16.17 MALLINCKRODT'S RIGHT TO LEASE OR OPERATE MBI'S FACILITIES. Upon
the Effective Date of this Agreement, Mallinckrodt shall have the immediate and
non-cancelable right to lease any MBI facilities it deems necessary during
Phases 1 and 2 upon commercially reasonable terms to be agreed upon by the
parties. Mallinckrodt shall have the right to ensure that the MBI's
manufacturing facility is staffed and operated in the most cost-effective manner
for producing OPTISON for Mallinckrodt.


<PAGE>

         16.18 SEVERABILITY. If any Section (or part thereof) of this Agreement
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to, prohibited by
or invalid under any applicable law, such court may modify such Section (or part
thereof) so, as modified, such Section (or part thereof) will be enforceable and
will to the maximum extent possible comply with the apparent intent of the
parties in drafting such Section (or part thereof). If no such modification is
possible, such Section (or part thereof) shall be deemed omitted, without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. No such modification or omission
of a Section (or part thereof) shall in any way affect or impair such Section
(or part thereof) in any other jurisdiction.

         16.19 UNDERTAKING REGARDING SCHEDULES AND APPENDICES. MBI agrees to
provide correct copies of Schedule 6.02(h) and all Appendices to this Agreement
to Mallinckrodt on or prior to October 7, 1999. If such documents are not
delivered to Mallinckrodt by such date, Mallinckrodt may withhold any money due
MBI until such documents have been provided.
