to supply substantially all of Neoprobe's requirements for Product, for reasons
solely within Plexus' control, Neoprobe may have the right to source Product
from an alternative contract manufacturer, subject to Neoprobe providing Plexus
with six (6) months prior written notice of its desire to source the Product
from an alternative contract manufacturer and Neoprobe has provided Plexus a
reasonable time period to cure any delays in supplying Neoprobe with the
Product. Neoprobe's right to use a third party manufacturer for all or part of
its requirements for Product shall remain in effect until six (6) months after
Plexus notifies Neoprobe that it is once again able to supply substantially one
hundred percent (100%) of Neoprobe's requirements for Product.

         2.07 Competitive Pricing. In the event Neoprobe is able to source
Product from a third party manufacturer at a price which is significantly better
(***) than the price charged by Plexus pursuant to Section 2.02, the "exclusive
supplier" status granted to Plexus pursuant to Section 2.01 shall become
nonexclusive; provided however, that Plexus shall have the right to match the
price offered by the third party in which case Plexus shall remain an exclusive
supplier.

         2.08 Plexus Becomes Non-Exclusive Supplier. If Plexus' status as
"exclusive supplier" becomes "non- exclusive" in accordance with this Section
2.07, Neoprobe agrees to purchase all finished Product, raw materials, all
Components in Plexus' inventory (including the full markup as defined in the
Plexus Quotation), and other Components for which Plexus has liability or on
order, but which are not in Plexus' inventory, as well as payment for any and
all in-process manufacturing costs and expenses, including, ramp down costs,
cancellation or restocking charges. To help minimize the impact of cancellation
charges, Plexus will attempt to restock components at the supplier, resell the
components, and/or utilize the components on non-Neoprobe assemblies.


             ARTICLE III. FORECAST, ORDERS, MATERIALS AND SCHEDULING

         3.01 Forecast. Within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date,
Neoprobe shall deliver to Plexus a forecast of the quantity of Product required
for the initial twelve (12) month period from the Effective Date (the "Initial
Forecast") and shall thereafter update such forecast on a monthly basis and
provide it to Plexus on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month so that
the parties have a twelve (12) month rolling forecast of the estimated
requirements for Product. Neoprobe shall promptly notify Plexus, at any time,
Neoprobe anticipates a material

Treatment under Rule 24b-2.

deviation from the forecast. Plexus shall promptly notify Neoprobe at any time
Plexus anticipates a material deviation in its ability to meet the forecast.

         3.02 Manufacturing Lead Time. For each Product to be manufactured,
Plexus establishes a manufacturing lead time, which is the number of business
days it will take, on average, to receive and kit all Components, assemble, test
and ship the lot of finished Product. Unless otherwise noted, this manufacturing
lead- time is twenty (20) business days. Plexus schedules all Components for a
particular lot of Product to arrive one manufacturing lead-time prior to the
Neoprobe due date. Plexus then uses this information, together with the Forecast
and Purchase Order information as defined below, to place commitments to its
suppliers for materials.

         3.03 Purchase Orders. Neoprobe will issue Neoprobe Purchase Orders
("POs") at least sixty (60) business days prior to the required delivery dates
for Product in accordance with, but not limited to, the Monthly Rolling Quantity
Forecast of Delivery Requirements. Neoprobe POs for delivery with lead times of
less than sixty (60) business days may be mutually agreed to by Plexus and
Neoprobe.

         3.04 Monthly Rolling Quantity Forecast of Delivery Requirements.
Neoprobe shall provide to Plexus a Monthly Rolling Quantity Forecast of Delivery
Requirements in accordance with Section 3.01 above. This Monthly Rolling
Quantity Forecast of Delivery Requirements for each assembly shall be used by
Plexus to determine the Components and/or the Long Lead-Time Components, NCNR
Components and/or Special Components that Plexus must obtain and/or procure
and/or inventory, and unless otherwise agreed to, Plexus will negotiate pricing
contracts with its supplier based upon the forecast. Plexus shall procure in
advance of Neoprobe POs for assemblies, pursuant to the Monthly Rolling Quantity
Forecast of Delivery Requirements for each Product, the Components and/or the
Long Lead Time Components, NCNR Components and/or Special Components, as
required for each Product.

         3.05 Schedule Changes. Neoprobe may request a change to the delivery
schedule at any time. Schedule changes can have an extraordinary effect on the
amount of inventory at Plexus, the impact for which is not considered in the
original cost of the Product. Frequent schedule changes may result in additional
administrative charges. If Neoprobe determines that the total annual rolling
quantity forecast of delivery requirements for any Product previously specified
in the Monthly Rolling Quantity Forecast of Delivery Requirements will be
delayed and/or reduced in quantity, then Plexus shall notify Neoprobe that
Plexus has procured and is inventorying and/or has on order with its Components
and/or Long Lead Time Components, NCNR Components and/or Special Components
suppliers an excess quantity of Components and/or Long Lead Time Components,
NCNR Components and/or Special Components that Plexus shall be unable to use for
any other currently forecasted Product requirement specified in the Monthly
Rolling Quantity Forecast of Delivery Requirements. Rescheduling of delivery
requirements less than thirty (30) days prior to the delivery date may only be
done with mutual agreement between Plexus and Neoprobe. Any schedule change may
result in a "Schedule Change Condition" as described in Section 3.06 and Section
3.07 below with corresponding liability to Neoprobe.

         3.06 Schedule Decreases. For schedule decreases issued within the
manufacturing lead-time of the scheduled delivery date, Neoprobe will either:

         a)       Accept shipment of the completed assemblies within the
                  calendar month originally scheduled: or

         b)       Pay full price and accept title and risk of los for completed
                  assemblies and any work in process materials and labor. Plexus
                  will warehouse completed assemblies for a reasonable period of
                  time.

For schedule decreases issued outside the manufacturing lead-time of the
scheduled delivery date, the Neoprobe will:

         a)       Pay for and accept title and risk of loss for the value of the
                  components (including the full component markup as defined in
                  the Plexus quotation) which Plexus is unable to return or
                  reschedule to meet the new schedule requirements; and

         b)       Pay Plexus for any additional cost from suppliers resulting
                  from the rescheduling.

Treatment under Rule 24b-2.

         3.07 Schedule Increases. For schedule increases, Plexus will make its
best effort to obtain the Components necessary to meet Neoprobe requirements.
However, Plexus may be unsuccessful in obtaining all of the Components required
to meet the Neoprobe's increased requirements. In that situation, Plexus
reserves the right to Neoprobe payment of the value of all inventory in house as
of the delivery date that is a result of the increased requirement.

         3.08 Engineering Change. The term "Engineering Change(s)" (hereinafter
called "EC" or "EC's") shall mean those mechanical, software, or electrical
design and/or specification and requirement changes which, if made to the
Product to be delivered hereunder, would affect the schedule, performance,
reliability, quality, availability, serviceability, appearance, dimensions,
tolerance, safety or purchase price of such Product or which would require
additional approval testing. Plexus may determine that Engineering Changes will
affect its ability to maintain the delivery schedule of Product , due to the
lead time of newly specified parts and/or the impact of substantial rework or
modification. Under these circumstances, Plexus reserves the right to define a
new schedule for delivery and treat this as a Schedule Change Condition, with
the Neoprobe liability as defined under Section 3.06 or Section 3.07. Upon
receipt of an EC, Plexus shall review Neoprobe's proposed EC and shall give to
Neoprobe a written evaluation of the EC, stating Plexus' cost to implement the
EC (including the cost to modify any tooling), the excess quantity of Components
and/or Long Lead Time Components, NCNR Components and/or Special Components
Plexus has inventoried and/or has on order with its Components and/or Long Lead
Time Components, NCNR Components and/or Special Components suppliers that are
unusable for any other assembly requirement and excess due to the EC, and
associated costs and expenses such Components and/or Long Lead Time Components,
NCNR Components and/or Special Components that Neoprobe shall be liable for and
the cost savings, if any, resulting from the EC, and the expected effect on the
schedule, availability and/or purchase price of such assemblies, or which may
require additional approval tests by Neoprobe.

         3.09 Cancellation. Neoprobe may cancel requirements defined in orders
and/or forecasts at any time before the scheduled delivery date. Any Product
requirements canceled within the manufacturing lead-time of the scheduled
delivery date will be invoiced at the full agreed to price for the completed
Product. For Product requirements canceled outside the manufacturing lead time
of the scheduled delivery date, Neoprobe's liability to Plexus will be the value
of the Components in Plexus' inventory (including the full markup as defined in
the Plexus Quotation), and other Components for which Plexus has liability or on
order, but which are not in Plexus' inventory, as well as payment for any and
all in-process manufacturing costs and expenses, including, ramp down costs,
cancellation or restocking charges. To help minimize the impact of cancellation
charges, Plexus will attempt to restock components at the supplier, resell the
components, and/or utilize the components on non-Neoprobe assemblies.

         3.10 Changes to Specifications. Neoprobe shall have the right to change
the Specifications for a Product to make reasonable and lawful modifications to
Product Specifications; provided, however, that Plexus shall have a reasonable
period of time to implement such Product Specification changes, and shall be
entitled to full reimbursement by Neoprobe for any costs incurred by Plexus in
implementing such changes, including cost of materials which can not be utilized
as a result such change. Neoprobe shall absorb all reasonable adjustments to
pricing for a Product which may be required as a result of the Specification
change. Neoprobe is responsible for verification and/or validation of any
changes to the Specifications.

         3.11 Delivery of Product. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the
parties, Plexus shall ship Product to a distribution facility designated by
Neoprobe.

                             ARTICLE IV. COMPONENTS

         4.01 Responsibility for Components. Unless otherwise agreed to by the
parties, Plexus shall be responsible for ordering, purchasing and maintaining
sufficient Components to support manufacture of Product in accordance with the
forecast described in Section 3.01 herein.

         4.02 Neoprobe Supplied Parts. Neoprobe may provide certain components
required to build Neoprobe's Product in which case, Neoprobe's inability to
provide parts in a timely manner may effect Plexus's ability to meet its
delivery schedule and may cause Plexus to incur extraordinary expenses to hold
Plexus purchased material and/or labor in process. Under these circumstances,
Plexus reserves the right to define a new schedule for delivery based upon
component availability information from Neoprobe and treat this as a Schedule
Change Condition, with Neoprobe liability as defined under Section 3.06 or
Section 3.07 above.

         4.03 Minimum Component Purchases. Plexus may have to place orders for
quantities of Components in excess of that required to support Neoprobe
requirements. This may be as a result of minimum order size requirements or
standard package sizes from the supplier. Neoprobe agrees to have the cost of
the excess Components amortized over a maximum of six (6) month's requirements,
or will place a purchase order separately for the excess Components.

                               ARTICLE V. TOOLING

         5.01 Ownership of Tooling. Plexus shall procure and/or produce upon
mutual pre-approvals, all tools, dies, jigs, and fixtures required to
manufacture Product. Plexus shall invoice Neoprobe for all labor and materials
required to procure or produce all such tooling, jigs, fixtures, and the like,
and upon payment Neoprobe shall obtain unrestricted ownership thereof and to the
detailed assembly drawings for such tooling. Neoprobe shall have the right to
access such drawings at all times during the term of this Agreement. All
replacement tools required shall also be owned by Neoprobe upon payment by
Neoprobe of the cost thereof. Termination of this Agreement shall result in the
surrender by Plexus of all tools, drawings for tools, replacement tools,
fixtures and jigs paid for and owned by Neoprobe. The tooling described herein
shall be utilized by Plexus only for the production and/or testing of the
Product. All tooling quoted herein is quoted at the cost to Plexus from its
suppliers. A procurement charge of *** will be added to all tooling with a cost
of less than ***, and a *** procurement charge added to all tooling with a cost
of *** or greater.

         5.02 Tooling Maintenance. At all times under this Agreement during
which Plexus has possession of Neoprobe tooling, Plexus shall have the
responsibility of performing normal, expected maintenance and repairs. The cost
of modifying or replacing or rebuilding Neoprobe owned tooling worn through
usage or in need of major repair for reasons other than lack of periodic
maintenance shall be borne by Neoprobe. Plexus shall be responsible for such
costs if such costs are incurred due to a failure to perform proper maintenance
or due to damage due to misuse or negligence of Plexus. Payment for the cost of
any other required tooling changes shall be negotiated by the parties prior to
any change. All modifications and major repairs to tooling must be approved in
advance by Neoprobe. Plexus will obtain a warranty on all tooling purchased by
Plexus for Neoprobe that warrants the tooling against defect during its normal

Agreement. Each party shall use its best efforts to ensure that its officers,
directors and employees do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of such

Party is required to disclose information by applicable law, regulation or order
of a governmental agency or a court of competent jurisdiction; ii) the Receiving

defend Plexus and hold Plexus harmless from and against any claims, damages,

claimed by any third party, which: (i) arise out of Neoprobe's negligent or
intentional breach of this Agreement or of any warranty or representation to

party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of such

available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that in such event, the indemnifying
party shall bear the fees and expenses of separate counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnifying party. The failure to notify an indemnifying
party promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the
ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any
liability to the indemnified party under this Article XI. No settlement of any
claim or action may be made without the consent of the indemnifying party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
