patent license agreements between Celera and a Third Party that are in effect as of the Effective Date and that apply to use or sale of any AMI Product. Such
identification will include the applicable royalty terms and the countries and numbers of the patents licensed so that Abbott may determine, in its reasonable opinion, whether it prefers or needs such a license for any of the manufacture, use, sale,
offer for sale, import and distribution of AMI Products. All such information shared pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) will be considered Confidential Information. Abbott will promptly notify Celera of any such license agreement that Celera
should apply to AMI Products (“Adopted Celera License”). In the event Celera is required to pay and pays royalties to a Third Party under an Adopted Celera License for the use, sale or importation of an AMI Product, Abbott will
reimburse Celera for such royalties Celera has paid pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 4.2(c) or 4.2(d); provided, however, that the royalties paid were due and payable under the Adopted Celera License because Celera
reasonably believes the use or sale of the AMI Product is covered by a valid and unexpired claim of a patent subject to such Adopted Celera License, as determined by Celera. Celera will notify Abbott when an Adopted Celera License expires or is
otherwise terminated. Abbott may notify Celera at any time Abbott believes it no longer needs the benefit of the Adopted Celera License after which notification Abbott will no longer be liable to Celera under this provision. Any inadvertent payments
made by Abbott under an Adopted Celera License which had expired or been terminated will promptly be refunded by Celera. 


  

	 	(b)	 During the Post-Distribution Agreement Period, Abbott will identify to Celera all patent license agreements between Abbott or its Affiliates and a Third Party that
are in effect as of the Effective Date and that may apply to use or sale of any Celera Product. Such identification will include the applicable royalty terms and the countries and numbers of the patents licensed so that Celera may determine, in its
reasonable opinion, whether it prefers or needs such a license for any of the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, import and distribution of Celera Products. All such information shared pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) will be considered
Confidential Information. Celera will promptly notify Abbott of any such license agreement that Abbott should apply to Celera Products (“Adopted Abbott License”). In the event Abbott is required to pay and pays royalties to a Third
Party under an Adopted Abbott License for the use, sale or importation of a Celera Product, Celera will reimburse Abbott for such royalties Abbott has paid pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 4.2(c) or

4.2(d); provided, however, that the royalties paid were due and payable under the Adopted Abbott License because Abbott reasonably believes the
use or sale of the Celera Product is covered by a valid and unexpired claim of a patent subject to such Adopted Abbott License, as determined by Abbott. Abbott will notify Celera when an Adopted Abbott License expires or is otherwise terminated and
when a Celera Product is no longer subject to an Adopted Abbott License. Celera may notify Abbott at any time Celera believes it no longer needs the benefit of the Adopted Abbott License after which notification Celera will no longer be liable to
Abbott under this provision. Any inadvertent payments made by Celera under an Adopted Abbott License which had expired or been terminated or was not longer applicable will promptly be refunded by Abbott. 


  

	 	(c)	In conjunction with each report rendered pursuant to Section 4.4: 

  

	 	(i)	Abbott will provide Celera with a written statement of Net Sales of AMI Products to which each Adopted Celera License applies and any other information Celera is required to provide
to its licensor. Celera will provide Abbott with a written statement of all such royalties paid by Celera to Third Parties under an Adopted Celera License in the preceding Calendar Quarter (“Third Party Royalties”). Each such Celera
statement will identify for each royalty paid: (x) the Adopted Celera License, (y) the AMI Product on which the royalty was paid, and (z) the country of sale. Abbott will reimburse Celera for all Third Party Royalties within thirty
(30) days after Abbott’s receipt of such Celera statement unless Celera notifies Abbott that it prefers to have such amount due from Abbott credited against any payments owed to Abbott by Celera. Such reimbursement will be refunded by
Celera to Abbott if Abbott questions the royalty obligation and it is agreed per Section 4.2(d) that no such royalty was due. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Celera will provide Abbott with a written statement of Net Sales of Celera Products to which each Adopted Abbott License applies and any other information Abbott is
required to provide to its licensor. Abbott will provide Celera with a written statement of all such royalties paid by Abbott to Third Parties under an Adopted Abbott License in the preceding Calendar Quarter (“Third Party
Royalties”). Each such Abbott statement will identify for each royalty paid: (x) the Adopted Abbott License, (y) the Celera Product on which the

royalty was paid, and (z) the country of sale. Celera will reimburse Abbott for all Third Party Royalties within thirty (30) days after
Celera’s receipt of such Abbott statement unless Abbott notifies Celera that it prefers to have such amount due from Celera credited against any payments owed to Celera by Abbott. Such reimbursement will be refunded by Abbott to Celera if
Celera questions the royalty obligation and it is agreed per Section 4.2(d) that no such royalty was due. 


  

	 	(d)	By written notice to one Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of any statement received under Section 4.2(c), the other Party may question its obligation to pay any
royalty on an AMI Product or Celera Product, as the case may be; provided, that the other Party has a reasonable basis on which to do so. The other Party will provide the one Party the basis for the other Party’s belief that the royalty payment
was not required, which basis may include non-infringement or invalidity of the licensed patent. Within sixty (60) days after any such notice, the Parties will discuss in good faith the other Party’s position. If the Parties cannot resolve
the dispute, the Parties will refer the matter for final resolution to an intellectual property expert selected by mutual agreement. If such dispute is resolved against a Party and a patent infringement lawsuit is brought against such Party, the
other Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless such Party and those set forth in Article 10, pursuant to such Article 10. 

  

	 4.3
	 Royalty Expiration. Except as provided in Section 6.2, each Party’s obligations to pay royalties on any
Molecular Diagnostic Product or diagnostic testing service to one another under this Agreement will expire on the ninth (9th) anniversary of

testing services, for such Calendar Quarter; and (c) the royalty amount due on Net Sales and Service Revenue during such Calendar Quarter. In addition,
each Party will give to the other an estimated report, including information required by Sections 4.4(b) and (c), within eight (8) working days after the end of each Calendar Quarter. With respect to royalties payable under this Article 4, each
Party will deliver to the other Party a final report and payment pursuant to this Section 4.4 within forty-five (45) days after the effective date of any termination or expiration of this Agreement. With respect to royalties payable under
Section 6.2, each Party will deliver to the other Party a final report and payment pursuant to this Section 4.4 within forty-five (45) days after the effective date of any termination or expiration of this Agreement or expiration of
the last to expire of the issued Alliance Patent Rights (as defined in the Alliance Agreement) subject to royalty under Section 6.2. 


  

	4.5	Records; Audit. 

  

	 	(a)	Each Party will keep, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates and Third Party distributors to keep, such records as necessary to determine, in a manner
consistent with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or International Financial Reporting Standards when required (“GAAP”), the accuracy of calculations of all amounts due to the other Party under this Agreement.
Such records will be retained for no less than three (3) years following the year in which a payment was made hereunder. Once per Calendar Year and once within six (6) months after termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving
Party (“Payee”) may engage, at its own expense, an independent certified public accountant who is reasonably acceptable to the paying Party (“Payor”), to examine, in confidence, the records of the Payor as may be
necessary to determine, with respect to any Calendar Year for which the Payor retains records in accordance with the previous sentence, the correctness of any payment required to be made under this Agreement. The report of such accountant will be
limited to a certificate verifying the correctness or incorrectness of any payment made by the Payor. All information contained in any such certificate will be Confidential Information of the Payor. 

  

	 	(b)	If any audit performed under this Section 4.5 discloses an underpayment or an overpayment, any amount underpaid or overpaid, as the case may be, will be paid or refunded
promptly to the appropriate Party, as applicable, plus interest as provided in Section 4.8. If any underpayment is more than five percent (5%) from the amount of the original payment calculation, the Payor will reimburse the Payee for the
reasonable cost of the performance of the audit.

hereunder is subject to any withholding or similar tax, the Parties will use their best efforts to do all such acts and things and to sign all such documents as will enable them to legally reduce or eliminate such tax, including taking advantage of
any applicable double taxation agreement or treaty. In the event such withholding or similar tax cannot be eliminated, the Payor will pay such withholding or similar tax to the appropriate government authority, deduct the amount paid from the amount
due to Payee and secure and send to Payee the best available evidence of such payment within the time required by applicable law. 

  

	4.7	Foreign Exchange. For the purpose of computing Service Revenue and Net Sales for sale or other distribution of Products or Instruments and, if applicable, Combination
Products, in a currency other than United States Dollars, such currency will be converted into United States Dollars in accordance with the procedures ordinarily used by a Party in converting foreign currency sales in its normal business operations,
which procedures will be in accordance with GAAP. 

  

	4.8	Late Payments. Any amounts not paid by a Payor when due under this Agreement will be subject to interest from and including the date payment is due through and including the

 APPENDIX 11.7 
 ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
 The Parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may
arise from time to time during the Term of this Agreement that relates to either Party’s rights and/or obligations. To have such a dispute resolved by this Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) provision, a Party first must
send written notice of the dispute to the other Party for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations between their respective presidents (or their equivalents) of the affected subsidiaries, divisions, or business units within twenty-eight
(28) days after such notice is received (all references to “days” in this ADR provision are to calendar days). All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for
purposes of applicable rules of evidence. 
 If the matter has not been resolved within twenty-eight (28) days of the notice of dispute,
or if the Parties fail to meet within such twenty-eight (28) days, either Party may initiate an ADR proceeding as provided herein. The Parties will have the right to be represented by counsel in such a proceeding. 
 1. To begin an ADR proceeding, a Party will provide written notice to the other Party of the issues to be resolved by ADR. Within fourteen (14) days after its
receipt of such notice, the other Party may, by written notice to the Party initiating the ADR, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR. 
 2. Within twenty-one (21) days following receipt of the original ADR notice, the Parties will select a mutually acceptable neutral to preside in the resolution of any disputes in this ADR proceeding. If the Parties are unable to agree
on a mutually acceptable neutral within such period, either Party may request the President of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (“CPR”), 366 Madison Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10017, to select a neutral pursuant
to the following procedures: 
 (a) The CPR will submit to the Parties a list of not less than five (5) candidates within fourteen
(14) days after receipt of the request, along with a Curriculum Vita for each candidate. No candidate will be an employee, director, or shareholder of either Party or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. 
 (b) Such list will include a statement of disclosure by each candidate of any circumstances likely to affect his or her impartiality. 
 (c) Each Party will number the candidates in order of preference (with the number one (1) signifying the greatest preference) and will deliver the
list to 

  


					
	Royalty Agreement	 	55	 	

  

	[*]	Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to

the CPR within seven (7) days following receipt of the list of candidates. If a Party believes a conflict of interest exists regarding any of the
candidates, that Party will provide a written explanation of the conflict to the CPR along with its list showing its order of preference for the candidates. Any Party failing to return a list of preferences on time will be deemed to have no order of
preference. 
 (d) If the Parties collectively have identified fewer than three (3) candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR
immediately will designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the Parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference. If a tie should result between two candidates, the CPR may designate either candidate. If the Parties collectively have
identified three (3) or more candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR will review the explanations regarding conflicts and, in its sole discretion, may either (i) immediately designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the Parties
collectively have indicated the greatest preference, or (ii) issue a new list of not less than five (5) candidates, in which case the procedures set forth in subparagraphs 2(a)—2(d) will be repeated. 
 3. No earlier than twenty-eight (28) days or later than fifty-six (56) days after selection, the neutral will hold a hearing to resolve each of the issues
identified by the Parties. The ADR proceeding will take place at a location agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree, the neutral will designate a location other than the principal place of business of either Party or any of their
subsidiaries or affiliates. 
 4. At least seven (7) days prior to the hearing, each Party will submit the following to the other Party and the neutral:

 (a) a copy of all exhibits on which such Party intends to rely in any oral or written presentation to the neutral; 
 (b) a list of any witnesses such Party intends to call at the hearing, and a short summary of the anticipated testimony of each witness; 
 (c) a proposed ruling on each issue to be resolved, together with a request for a specific damage award or other remedy for each issue. The proposed
rulings and remedies will not contain any recitation of the facts or any legal arguments and will not exceed one (1) page per issue. 
 (d) a brief in support of such Party’s proposed rulings and remedies, provided that the brief will not exceed twenty (20) pages. This page limitation will apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

 Except as expressly set forth in subparagraphs 4(a)—4(d), no discovery will be required or permitted by any means,
including depositions, interrogatories, requests for admissions, or production of documents. 
 5. The hearing will be conducted on two (2) consecutive
days and will be governed by the following rules: 
 (a) Each Party will be entitled to five (5) hours of hearing time to present its
case. The neutral will determine whether each Party has had the five (5) hours to which it is entitled. 
 (b) Each Party will be
entitled, but not required, to make an opening statement, to present regular and rebuttal testimony, documents or other evidence, to cross-examine witnesses, and to make a closing argument. Cross-examination of witnesses will occur immediately after
their direct testimony, and cross-examination time will be charged against the Party conducting the cross-examination. 
 (c) The Party
initiating the ADR will begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, will address not only issues it raised but also any issues raised by the responding Party. The responding Party, if it chooses to make an opening statement,
also will address all issues raised in the ADR. Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments will proceed in the same sequence. 
 (d) Except when testifying, witnesses will be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments. 
 (e) Settlement negotiations, including any statements made therein, will not be admissible under any circumstances. Affidavits prepared for purposes of
the ADR hearing also will not be admissible. As to all other matters, the neutral will have sole discretion regarding the admissibility of any evidence. 
 6. Within seven (7) days following completion of the hearing, each Party may submit to the other Party and the neutral a post-hearing brief in support of its proposed rulings and remedies, provided that such brief will not contain or
discuss any new evidence and will not exceed ten (10) pages. This page limitation will apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding. 
 7. The neutral will rule on each disputed issue within fourteen (14) days following completion of the hearing. Such ruling will adopt in its entirety the proposed ruling and remedy of one of the Parties on each disputed issue but may
adopt one Party’s proposed rulings and remedies on some issues and the other Party’s proposed rulings and remedies on other issues. The neutral will not issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling.

 8. The neutral will be paid a reasonable fee plus expenses. These fees and expenses, along with the reasonable legal fees
and expenses of the prevailing Party (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, will be paid as follows: 
 (a) If the neutral rules in favor of one Party on all disputed issues in the ADR, the losing Party will pay 100% of such fees and expenses. 
 (b) If the neutral rules in favor of one Party on some issues and the other Party on other issues, the neutral will issue with the rulings a written
determination as to how such fees and expenses will be allocated between the Parties. The neutral will allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the Party prevailing on more issues, or
on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses. 
 9. The rulings of the neutral and the
allocation of fees and expenses will be binding, non-reviewable, and non-appealable, and may be entered as a final judgment in any court having jurisdiction. 
 10. Except as provided in paragraph 9 or as required by law, the existence of the dispute, any settlement negotiations, the ADR hearing, any submissions (including exhibits, testimony, proposed rulings, and briefs), and the rulings will be
deemed Confidential Information. The neutral will have the authority to impose sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information.
