                               X-RAY SPECTROMETRY



1.     Preamble

       Siemens Rontgenwerk Rudolstadt ("SRW") is one of the leading
       manufacturers of x-ray tubes for material testing in the field of x-ray
       diffractometry and spectrometry. Bruker AXS GmbH ("BAXS") is a globally
       active market leader in the development, production, marketing, sales,
       and support of high-quality x-ray analysis devices for use in structural
       research, materials research, and quality and process control in the
       manufacturing sector. BAXS and SRW have successfully collaborated in the
       past on the development and marketing of high-quality x-ray tubes and
       emitters ("tubes"). This Cooperation Agreement is intended to intensify
       their strategic cooperation and ensure a long-term technical and
       commercial commitment by both partners.


CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS
EXHIBIT, WHICH PORTIONS HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND REPLACED WITH [**] AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.


                                  Page 1 of 5

<PAGE>


2.     DEFINITIONS

       "Products" refers to all products currently manufactured by SRW (i.e.; KF
       tubes, AG66, and AG22), as well as all new tubes jointly developed in the
       future for diffractometry and spectrometry.

3.     SUBJECT MATTER OF THE AGREEMENT

       The subject matter of the Agreement is exclusive cooperation in the field
       of developing and marketing the products for diffractometry and
       spectrometry.

       SRW shall supply BAXS exclusively with the existing products, as well as
       all products arising from the joint new development efforts, and BAXS
       shall purchase these products exclusively from SRW for its systems,
       unless SRW is unable to supply an equivalent product (e.g., special
       precision-focus tubes, special anode materials, etc.), or is unable to
       meet Bruker AXS' projected requirements (e.g., technical or
       quality-related supply problems).

       BAXS shall market the products exclusively in its system and aftermarket
       business worldwide.

4.     EXCLUSIVITY

       Exclusivity shall be linked to the purchase of a total annual volume
       (Appendix 1) of all products supplied by SRW. Should BAXS fail to achieve
       the defined minimum annual volume, then SRW may terminate the Agreement.
       The threshold values for maintaining exclusivity shall be adjusted
       accordingly for new developments. The basis for all
       decisions/considerations shall be the calendar year in each case.

       Exclusivity shall extend to all products in the worldwide business for
       diffractometry and spectrometry. If the technologies of these products
       can be used in their current form or a modified form in other
       technological applications, then SRW shall have the right to market the
       products freely in these areas.

       Copies of other tubes currently on the market shall also be excluded from
       this arrangement. SRW may market such tubes in the field of
       diffractometry and spectrometry. Nevertheless, SRW shall inform BAXS of
       its intention to build such copies, as well as any intention to market
       them. In addition, SRW may undertake the production of diffractometry
       tubes for other tube manufacturers. These tubes shall bear the label of
       the tube manufacturer (example: Thales).

       In the event of new product developments, SRW shall always receive "first
       call" and "last call."

5.     PRICES AND CHANGES IN PRICING

       Prices and changes in pricing are presented in Appendix 1. In the event
       of significant changes in material prices (increase or decrease), SRW and
       BAXS shall adjust the prices. If necessary, this should occur at the end
       of a fiscal year. If additional action is required due to extreme changes
       in material prices during a particular year, then the number of these
       negotiations shall be limited to two per year.

                                  Page 2 of 5

6.     SPECIAL CASE FOR DIFFRACTOMETRY TUBES

       For KF tubes, prices as of December 31, 2004 have been established with
       an increase of 3% per year on the currently existing base price. New
       negotiations will take place after this date.

       SRW shall have the option of building up a direct business relationship
       for diffractometry tubes with the Bruker AXS sales and support
       organizations worldwide. This shall include all commercial and logistical
       handling, including the handling of returns and [warranties]; i.e., the
       Bruker AXS production and development companies shall not be involved in
       the business in any way. The prices for this direct business shall be 14%
       above the agreed standard conditions in each case.

       The BAXS production and development sites (Karlsruhe, Madison, Congleton,
       and Delft) shall purchase the products at the standard conditions.

       In the event that SRW cannot or does not wish to handle LC transactions,
       the transaction shall be completed via BAXS at the standard conditions.

       Other conditions such as warranty, etc., shall be identical for both
       channels of distribution.

7.     SUPPLY FORECAST - BONUS ARRANGEMENT FOR DEVIATIONS

       In October of each year, BAXS and SRW shall agree upon a forecast for
       each product line (currently KF, AG22, AG66) for the following year, and
       shall establish this as the basis for the following year. The total of
       the forecast volume must attain the value of the total annual sales
       volume stipulated in Appendix 1.

       The following bonus arrangement shall apply for sales in each product
       group:

       o    No bonus payments shall be made for total volumes between 90% and
            110%.

       o    If the volume of a product group sinks below 90%, BAXS shall pay to
            SRW a bonus equal to 50% of the difference in sales between the
            achieved figure and the threshold value (here: 90%).

       o    If the volume sinks below 60% of the forecast sales volume, then a
            separate meeting shall take place between BAXS and SRW.

       o    If the volume of a product group exceeds the 110% threshold, then
            BAXS shall receive a bonus equal to 25% of the difference in value
            between the achieved figure and the threshold value (here: 110%).

       o    If the volume exceeds the 125% threshold, then BAXS shall receive a
            bonus equal to 35% of the sales volume exceeding 125%.

       o    In the event that the sales volume of a product group exceeds 140%,
            then the bonus amount shall be negotiated in a separate meeting.

       TERMS OF DELIVERY

       The Logistics and Warranty Agreement between Bruker AXS and SRW shall
       apply for the delivery of products.

       handled in strictest confidence by both partners, and may be disclosed to
       third parties only with the previous written consent of the other party
       in each case.

       The termination of this Agreement shall not release either partner from

       affected thereby. The parties to the contract shall be obligated to act
       in good faith within the bounds of reason to replace the invalid
       provision with a permissible arrangement that approximates to the extent
       possible the intent of the original, so long as this causes no material
       modification of the content of the Agreement.
