	 	8.1	 	Each party (each such party, an “Obligated Party”) agrees to permit the other
party (each such party, an “Auditing Party”) to appoint an independent certified
accountant, acceptable and approved by the Obligated Party, to examine during
reasonable business hours, upon ten (10) business days prior written notice and not
more frequently than once each rolling twelve (12) calendar months, the books and
records of the Obligated Party only to the extent necessary to verify compliance with
this Agreement. The Auditing Party shall make such examination at its sole cost and

the Obligated Party’s obligations under this Agreement, such Obligated Party shall bear
the reasonable costs and expenses of the audit.
	 
	 	8.2	 	Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, if as a result of the audit
performed pursuant to Section 8.1, the independent certified accountant determines that
Cardinal Health has under-reported any information necessary to calculate Revenue Share
Amount for the Product and as a result Supplier has received less than it should have
under the Agreement, Cardinal Health shall, no later than forty-five (45) business days
after receiving notice of such underpayment, remit to Neoprobe the amount of the
underpayment. If as a result of the audit performed pursuant to Section 8.1, the
independent certified accountant determines that Cardinal Health has over-reported any
information used to calculate the Revenue Share Amount for the Product and as a result
Supplier has received more than it should have under the Agreement, Cardinal Health
shall be entitled to a credit against the Revenue Share Amount due to Supplier in the
next applicable period in the amount of such excess.
	 
	 	8.3	 	The Auditing Party shall treat the information provided by the Obligated Party
as confidential information except that the Auditing Party may disclose such

necessary to conduct such audit.

forth in this Agreement and will consult with the other party, at least two business
days prior to filing, regarding the information to be disclosed.
	 
	 	19.14	 	The rights and obligations of the parties shall continue under Section 13

(Miscellaneous) notwithstanding expiration or termination of this Agreement.
	 
	 	19.15	 	Except as to payments required under this Agreement, neither party shall be
liable in damages for, nor shall this Agreement be terminable or cancelable by reason
of, any delay or default in such party’s performance hereunder if such default or delay
