and to distribute the Products to Customers in the Territory through any

or which acts as a buying group for such Customers. Any decision under this
subparagraph 1(a) by ADVNT shall be final and conclusive between the parties.

answering statement (including counterclaims, if any) within the time period
specified by the Rules. The parties agree and understand that they have a
contractual obligation hereunder to conduct the arbitration of any Dispute in
good faith.
 
(c) The AAA shall appoint a single rfutral arbitrator from its Commercial
Arbitration Panel or its Large Complex Case Panel to decide the Dispute. The
arbitrator shall be an attorney who has practiced law for at least 15 years and
(if possible) who has experience relating to bio-medical hand-held assays sold
environmental screening practices in the United States. The AAA shall employ its
appointment practices in effect at the time the demand is filed to make the
appointment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Schedule D, the
AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules shall govern the arbitration proceedings.
 
(d) The arbitration will take place in Phoenix, Arizona.
 
(e) Discovery may be had by both parties pursuant to the provisions of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the arbitrator shall have full discretion
to regulate such discovery so as to provide for prompt, efficient, and fair
resolution of the Dispute. During the conduct of the arbitration proceedings,
the arbitrator shall have full discretion concerning the admissibility and
relevance of evidence, being guided in exercising such discretion by the
principles set out in the Federal Rules of Evidence rather than any other body
of evidentiary law as defined by state common law, codes, or rules of evidence.

(f) The parties agree and understand that during any arbitration conducted
pursuant to this Schedule D, the AAA will, from time to time, assess each party
for its share of AAA fees and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator; it is
also understood that the AAA will make such requests for payment in advance of
one or more proceedings conducted by the arbitrator. If any such request for
fees and expenses is not honored promptly by a party (a "Default"), and such
Default results in the delay or postponement of any scheduled activities (e.g.,
discovery, motion practice, or hearings), the AAA shall inform the Arbitrator of
the Defaulting Party's identity. Thereafter, the arbitrator may receive
submissions from the parties (and factual information from the AAA) to decide
whether the Default constitutes a breach by the Defaulting Party of its
obligation to arbitrate in good faith. If the Default is determined by the
arbitrator to constitute such a breach, the arbitrator may award any relief, up
to and including a default judgment, against the party in Default.
 
(g) Any order by the arbitrator concerning interim relief shall be rendered in
writing and signed by the arbitrator. Neither party shall have a right to
request the arbitrator to write an opinion detailing the reasons for such an
order. The final award of the arbitrator shall also be rendered in writing and
signed by the arbitrator. Neither party shall have the right to request the
arbitrator to write an opinion detailing the reasons for the final award. Unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties, the final award shall be rendered within 30
days of the closing of the arbitration proceeding pursuant to the arbitrator's
declaration.
 
(h) Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys fees arising out of the
arbitration. Although the arbitrator may not award attorney fees to the
prevailing party, the arbitrator may, in his or her sole discretion, require the
losing party to reimburse the prevailing party for all or a portion of the
prevailing party's share of the AAA's and the arbitrator's fees and expenses.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each party shall be solely responsible
for any filing fees which that party owes to the AAA on account of any claims
and/or counterclaims asserted by such party during the proceedings.
 
(i) Each party agrees to abide by die arbitration award and further agrees that
judgment may be entered upon the award in any court of competent jurisdiction.
