     That the Parties hereto do hereby mutually agree as follows:

     1.   Premises; Condition and Expansion of Premises.

     A.   Tenant hereby leases from Landlord those certain premises (hereinafter
referred to as the "Premises") depicted by cross-hatching on the diagram
attached hereto as EXHIBIT A. As used in this Lease, the "Building" shall mean
that certain building located at 1401 Sheridan Road, North Chicago, Illinois
60064, commonly known as the M3 Building, and including the use in common with
the Landlord of the Building, the common areas and parking areas serving the
Building. Landlord shall install firewalls to separate the private networks of
the Landlord and Tenant. These separation firewalls shall be deployed at both
the Landlord's and Tenant's networks on either end of the Inter-Company Link and
Gigabit connection. Other than Landlord's installation of the firewalls, Tenant
acknowledges that it is leasing the Premises "as is" without any representation
or warranty.

     B.   Tenant shall have the right to reduce the size of the Premises at any
time during the Term upon not less than ninety (90) days written notice to
Landlord, at which time Base Rent (as described in PARAGRAPH 3 below) shall be
proportionately reduced. Each reduction of the Premises shall comprise a minimum
of 2,000 square feet of space contiguous to Abbott useable space.

     C.   Upon the written agreement of the Parties, Tenant shall be permitted
to add space within the Building or adjacent to the Building on the same general
terms and conditions of this Lease.

     2.   LEASE TERM. The term (the "Term") of this Lease shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall end on __________, 200_ (the "Termination Date").
Notwithstanding

<Page>

the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time
upon not less than 180 days written notice to Landlord.

     3.   BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay as annual base rent ("Base Rent")
Landlord's fully burdened cost per square foot of the Premises for each year
("Lease Year") during the Term payable in equal monthly installments ("Monthly
Base Rent"). Monthly Base Rent for each Lease Year is set forth in the Schedule
attached hereto as EXHIBIT A-1. The obligation to pay Rent (defined below) shall
commence on the Effective Date. The first Lease Year shall commence on the
Effective Date and end on December 31, 2004, and each succeeding Lease Year
shall commence on January 1 of the following calendar year. The final Lease Year
shall commence on January 1, 2014 and end on ___________ __, 2014. Rent shall be
paid to Landlord in advance on or before the first day of each month of the
Term, and shall be payable to Landlord at the address shown in the Schedule, or
at such other place as Landlord may direct from time to time in writing. If the
Term shall commence on a day other than the first day of a calendar month,
Tenant shall pay a prorated monthly Rent for such initial partial month.
Payments not made when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
rate which Citibank N.A. (or its successor or another major money center
commercial bank agreed to by the Parties) announces as its prime lending rate,
as in effect from time to time plus two percent (2%).

     All Base Rent and the cost of any Additional Services or Extra Services
provided pursuant to PARAGRAPHS 6 and 7 hereof, together with any other sum
required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (such sums are collectively
referred to herein as "Rent") shall be paid when due, without demand, deduction,
offset or discount and all in lawful money of the United States. The payment of
Rent hereunder is independent of each and every other covenant and agreement
contained in this Lease.

     4.   USE OF PREMISES. The Premises shall be occupied and used only for
office, laboratory and manufacturing purposes and for no other purpose. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no use shall be made of the Premises
nor acts done which will increase the existing rate of insurance upon the
Building or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building
or any part thereof. Tenant shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any
waste upon the Premises, or any public or private nuisance, or other act or
thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Building,
nor, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall Tenant allow the
Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable
purpose.

     Tenant agrees that Tenant, together with any other Person (as defined
below) entering the Premises with Tenant's permission, will comply with (i) all
federal, state and municipal laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, (ii) all covenants, conditions and
restrictions of record applicable to Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises,
and (iii) the rules and regulations attached hereto as EXHIBIT C together with
all other reasonable rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably make
from time to time for the management, safety, care and cleanliness of the
Building, consistent with the same rules and regulations which Landlord
implements for its other buildings with analogous uses. The violation of any
such items shall be deemed a material breach of this Lease by Tenant. "PERSON"

<Page>

means an individual, a general or limited partnership, a corporation, a trust, a
joint venture, an unincorporated organization, a limited liability entity, any
other entity and any Governmental Authority.

     5.   PRIVILEGES OF HOSPIRA EMPLOYEES. Tenant, its employees and invitees,
may use in common with Landlord, its employees and invitees the conference rooms
located in the Building, the cafeteria serving the Building and the exercise
facilities serving the Building. Tenant's use of conference rooms shall be in
accordance with Landlord's reservation procedures. Tenant's use of exercise
facilities and the cafeteria shall be in accordance with the rules and
procedures applicable to Landlord's employees.

     6.   UTILITIES AND OTHER SERVICES FURNISHED BY LANDLORD. On a twenty-four
(24) hour and seven (7) days per week basis, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant
during the Term: (i) automatic passenger elevator service; (ii) restroom
facilities with hot and cold water; (iii) heating and air conditioning, as
appropriate (excluding Tenant process areas); (iv) emergency lighting,
electricity for lighting, computers, telecommunications equipment but excluding
any electricity used in providing the Additional Services (as defined below) or
the Extra Services (as defined below); and (v) cold water as required for
existing plumbing for the Premises.

     Consistent with Landlord's current practice with respect to Landlord's own
buildings which are analogous to the Building, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant
the services described in EXHIBIT B-1 which may be changed from time to time in
Landlord's reasonable discretion upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to
Tenant. Upon written request and reasonable written notice, Landlord shall
furnish janitorial, cleaning and security services during weekend hours at rates
determined in accordance with EXHIBIT B-5 attached hereto. During normal
business hours and upon written request and reasonable prior notice, Landlord
shall furnish freight elevator service to Tenant.

     Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to, provide, at Tenant's
request, any other Additional Services as it is reasonably possible for Landlord
to provide within a reasonable period after the time such additional service is
requested (each, an "Additional Service") including, but not limited to, the
services described in EXHIBIT B-2 attached hereto.

     To the extent Landlord incurs any additional cost or expense as a result of
Landlord providing Additional Services at Tenant's request, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for such cost or expense, such amount to be considered
additional Rent hereunder. All charges for such Additional Services shall be due
and payable at the same time as the installment of Monthly Base Rent with which
they are billed, or if billed separately, shall be due and payable within thirty
(30) days after Tenant receives Landlord's bill therefor. Any such billings for
Additional Services shall include an itemization of the Additional Services
rendered and the charge for each such service, which charge shall be calculated
as Landlord's fully burdened cost to perform such services, determined in
accordance with EXHIBIT B-5. The Additional Services shall be performed by
Landlord in the same manner Landlord performs such services for itself.

     If the Tenant fails to promptly pay charges for Additional Services,
Landlord, upon not less than ten (10) days' notice, may, in addition to any
other remedies available to Landlord,

<Page>

discontinue furnishing Additional Services until such time as Tenant has made
payment therefor. Such discontinuance shall not be deemed an eviction or
disturbance of Tenant's use of the Premises, shall not render Landlord liable
for damages, nor shall it relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease.

     Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by or resulting
from any variation, interruption or failure of any utilities and services to be
provided by Landlord hereunder due to any cause whatsoever, other than
Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct, and no temporary interruption or
failure of such utilities and services incident to the making of repairs,
alterations or improvements, or due to accident, strike or conditions or events
beyond Landlord's reasonable control shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant or
relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, including, without
limitation, the payment of Rent.

     7.   EXTRA SERVICES.

     A.   LANDLORD'S DELIVERY OF EXTRA SERVICES. At Tenant's expense, Landlord
shall furnish the extra services described on EXHIBITS B-3 and B-4 attached
hereto ("EXTRA SERVICES").

               1.   Landlord shall perform all Extra Services in a manner which
          is substantially similar in nature, quality and timeliness to the
          analogous services provided by Landlord prior to the Commencement
          Date.

               2.   Landlord shall perform its duties and responsibilities
          hereunder in good faith based on its past practices. Landlord shall
          not be liable or held accountable, in damages or otherwise, for any
          error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law or for anything that
          Landlord does or refrains from doing in good faith hereunder, except
          in the case of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

               3.   Nothing in this Lease shall require Landlord to perform any
          Extra Service in a manner that would constitute a violation of
          applicable laws.

               4.   Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any Extra Service
          in a volume or quantity which exceeds the planned 2004 volumes or
          quantities of analogous services performed for the applicable
          operation of Tenant, without reference to the transactions
          contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement of even date
          herewith between Landlord and Tenant (the "Separation and Distribution
          Agreement"). Tenant may request a higher volume or quantity of such
          historical volumes or quantities of an Extra Service, which request
          Landlord may accept or reject in its sole discretion. If Landlord
          agrees to such a request, the Parties shall cooperate and act in good
          faith to make any modifications to the applicable Schedule for such
          Extra Service.

               5.   (i) Landlord will not be required to perform any of the
          Extra Services for the benefit of any Person other than Tenant, and
          (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE IN THIS PARAGRAPH 7A., EACH
          PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL EXTRA SERVICES

<Page>

          AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS AND THAT, LANDLORD MAKES
          NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE EXTRA SERVICES
          AND PRODUCTS, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF
          MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT
          OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.

     B.   CHARGES FOR EXTRA SERVICES. The charges for the Extra Services (the
"Extra Service Charges") shall be determined in accordance with EXHIBIT B-5. If
the Tenant fails to timely pay Landlord's charges for Extra Services, Landlord,
upon not less than ten (10) days' notice, may, in addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord, discontinue furnishing such Extra Services until such
time as Tenant has made payment therefor. No such discontinuance shall be deemed
an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use of the Premises or render Landlord
liable for damages or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease.

     C.   CHANGES TO EXTRA SERVICES. Except as provided in PARAGRAPH 7F. below,
the Parties acknowledge that Landlord may make changes from time to time in the
manner of performing the Extra Services if Landlord is making similar changes in
performing analogous services for itself and if Landlord furnishes to Tenant
substantially the same notice (in content and timing, but in any event no less
than thirty (30) days) as Landlord shall furnish to others in its own
organization respecting such changes. No such change shall affect the Extra
Services Charges for the applicable Extra Service.

     D.   TRANSITIONAL NATURE OF EXTRA SERVICES. The Parties acknowledge the
transitional nature of the Extra Services and agree to cooperate in good faith
and to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate a smooth transition of
the Extra Services from Landlord to Tenant (or its designee).

     E.   COOPERATION. In the event that (i) there is nonperformance of any
Extra Service as a result of a Force Majeure (as defined in PARAGRAPH 30.F.
below), or (ii) the provision of an Extra Service would violate applicable law,
the Parties agree to work together in good faith to arrange for an alternative
means by which Tenant may obtain, at Tenant's sole cost, the Extra Service so
affected.

     F.   USE OF THIRD PARTIES TO PROVIDE THE EXTRA SERVICES. Landlord may
perform its obligations through its Subsidiaries (as defined below) or, if
Landlord is obtaining analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors
or independent contractors, through the use of such agents, subcontractors or
independent contractors if Landlord furnishes Tenant substantially the same
notice (in content and timing) as Landlord shall furnish to its own organization
respecting such use of Third Parties. If Landlord is not obtaining analogous
services for itself from Third Parties, Landlord may perform its obligations
hereunder through the use of agents, subcontractors or independent contractors
only upon obtaining the prior written consent of Tenant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Lease by
use of such Subsidiaries, agents, subcontractors or contractors. "SUBSIDIARY" or
"Subsidiaries" means another Person or Persons directly or indirectly controlled
by such first

<Page>

Person. As used herein, "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly,
of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of
such Person(s), whether through ownership of voting securities or other
interests, by contract or otherwise.

     G.   EARLY TERMINATION OF EXTRA SERVICES. Tenant shall have the right at
any time during the Term to terminate its obligation to purchase any individual
Extra Service, upon the giving of one hundred eighty (180) days, advance written
notice to Landlord. Effective on the second anniversary of the Effective Date
and any time thereafter, Landlord shall have the right, upon one hundred eighty
180 days advance written notice to Tenant, to terminate its obligation to
provide any of the Extra Services described on EXHIBIT B-4.

     H.   INFORMATION TRANSMISSION. On or prior to the last day of the term of
an Extra Service, Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to support
any transfer of Information concerning the relevant Extra Services to Tenant. If
requested by Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, within such time periods
as the Parties may reasonably agree, all Information received or computed for
the benefit of Tenant during the term of an Extra Service, in electronic and/or
hard copy form; provided, however, that (i) Landlord shall not have any
obligation to provide Information in any non-standard format, and (ii) Landlord
shall be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs for providing
Information in any format other than its standard format.

     I.   MUTUAL COOPERATION. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in
connection with the performance of the Extra Services hereunder, including
producing on a timely basis all Information that is reasonably requested with
respect to the performance of Extra Services and the transition of such Extra
Services at the end of their applicable term; provided, however, that such
cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Parties.

     J.   LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO PROVIDE EXTRA SERVICES. FOR
EACH TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD DURING THE TERM, THE FIRST SUCH PERIOD COMMENCING
ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND SUBSEQUENT SUCH PERIODS COMMENCING ON EACH YEARLY
ANNIVERSARY THEREAFTER, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF LANDLORD TO, AND THE SOLE
REMEDY OF, TENANT WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF EXTRA SERVICES UNDER THIS LEASE, REGARDLESS OF
THE THEORY UPON WHICH THE LIABILITY IS PREMISED, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LANDLORD'S
PROFITS FOR PERFORMING EXTRA SERVICES HEREUNDER, WHICH SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE
EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE MARK-UP RECEIVED BY LANDLORD AS SET FORTH ON EXHIBIT
B-5 AND AS MAY BE ADJUSTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF EXHIBIT-B-5. IN NO EVENT
SHALL LANDLORD, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST OR ANTICIPATED
PROFITS RELATING TO THE SAME) IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF EXTRA
SERVICES UNDER THIS LEASE, EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES, AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH

<Page>

DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER
ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

     K.   THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Landlord, its Subsidiaries and each of their directors, officers and employees,
and each of the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively,
the "Landlord Indemnitees"), from and against any and all claims of any Person
other than Abbott, any Abbott Subsidiary, Hospira and any Hospira Subsidiary
(each herein a "Third Party") relating to, arising out of or resulting from
Landlord's furnishing or failing to furnish the Extra Services provided for in
this Lease, other than Third Party claims arising out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of any Landlord Indemnitee.

     L.   TITLE TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Tenant acknowledges that it will
acquire no right, title or interest (including any license rights or rights of
use) in any intellectual property which is owned or licensed by Landlord, by
reason of the provision of the Extra Services provided hereunder. Tenant will
not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, confidentiality or other
proprietary notices that appear on any intellectual property owned or licensed
by Landlord, and shall reproduce any such notices on any and all copies thereof.
Tenant will not attempt to decompile, translate, reverse engineer or make
excessive copies of any intellectual property owned or licensed by Landlord, and
shall promptly notify Landlord or any such attempt, regardless of whether by
Tenant or any Third Party, of which Tenant becomes aware.

     8.   ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS. Tenant shall not make a structural change or
changes which can be seen from the exterior of the Building without Landlord's
prior written consent. For purposes of this Lease, hot work, work requiring core
drilling and surface penetration and work involving pressurized lines shall
automatically be deemed a structural change requiring Landlord's prior written
consent. Tenant shall not do any painting or decorating, erect any non-moveable
partitions or make any additions, improvements, alterations or repairs to the
Premises costing in each case more than $50,000.00 without Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In
the event Tenant proposes to make any addition, improvement, alteration or
repair requiring Landlord's prior written approval, Tenant shall, prior to
commencing any such activity, submit to Landlord for its prior written approval:
(i) detailed plans and specifications; (ii) all necessary governmental permits
evidencing compliance with all applicable governmental rules, regulations and
requirements; (iii) certificates of insurance in form and amounts reasonably
required by Landlord, naming Landlord and any other Parties designated by
Landlord as additional insureds; and (iv) all other documents and information as
Landlord may reasonably request in connection with such work. Neither approval
of the plans and specifications nor supervision of the addition, improvement or
alteration by Landlord shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord
as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency or propriety of such plans and
specifications or as to the quality of workmanship or the compliance of such
alteration with applicable law. Tenant shall pay the entire cost of the
addition, improvement or alteration. Each addition, improvement, alteration and
repair shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with
the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and shall meet or exceed the
standards for construction and quality of materials established by Landlord for
the Building. In addition, each addition,

<Page>

improvement, alteration and repair shall be performed in compliance with all
applicable governmental laws, ordinances, codes, orders, rules and regulations.
Each addition, improvement, alteration and repair shall be performed by
contractors approved by Landlord and all contractors shall act in harmony with
Landlord's employees and contractors.

     Tenant agrees to protect, defend and indemnify the Landlord Indemnitees,
the Premises and the Building from and against any and all liabilities of every
kind and description which may arise out of or be connected in any way with said
additions, alterations, improvements or repairs or the like, whether performed
by or under the direction of Tenant and at the cost of Tenant. Upon completion
of any addition, improvement, alteration or repair, if Landlord requests, Tenant
shall promptly furnish Landlord with sworn owner's and contractors' statements
and full and final waivers of lien covering all labor and materials included in
such work. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's lien to be filed against the
Building, or any part thereof, arising out of any alteration performed, or
alleged to have been performed, by or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien is
filed, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days thereafter have such lien released
of record or deliver to Landlord a bond in form, amount, and issued by a surety
satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord against all costs and
liabilities resulting from such lien and the foreclosure or attempted
foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to have such lien so released or to deliver
such bond to Landlord, Landlord, without investigating the validity of such
lien, may pay or discharge the same; and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon
demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord's reasonable
expenses and attorneys' fees.

     Unless otherwise provided in this Paragraph or by written agreement, all
additions, improvements, alterations, repairs and fixtures (except Tenant's
furniture, trade fixtures and equipment) installed by Tenant during the Term
shall be surrendered with the Premises and shall become Landlord's property
without compensation to Tenant. Landlord shall have the option at the time of
granting consent to additions, improvements and alterations to require their
removal and the restoration of the Premises to the condition existing
immediately prior to their installation at the expiration or early termination
of the Lease. For any such installations which do not require Landlord's
consent, Landlord shall have the option of requiring their removal and the
restoration of the Premises to the condition existing immediately prior to their
installation at the expiration or early termination of the Lease.

     Tenant shall remove its furniture, trade fixtures and equipment and all
other items of personal property from the Premises prior to the end of the Term
or any extension thereof, or at the termination of right of possession, however
ended. Tenant shall repair any damages caused by the removal of such items. If
Tenant does not remove such items, Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have
conveyed the same to Landlord under this Lease as a bill of sale without further
payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant, or at Landlord's sole option, Landlord
may cause the items covered in this Paragraph to be removed and stored at the
risk and cost of Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all
reasonable expenses incurred in such removal and all reasonable storage charges
against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord's possession or
under Landlord's control. Any such property of Tenant not removed from the
Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the

<Page>

end of the Term, however terminated or any extension thereof, at Landlord's sole
option, shall be conclusively deemed to have been forever abandoned by Tenant.

     9.   MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

     A.   Landlord shall at its own expense, maintain and keep in good repair
and in a manner consistent with the maintenance and standards of other similar
buildings owned by Landlord the foundation, walls (load bearing and wall
surfaces in common corridors), exterior doors and doors through load bearing
walls, floors, flooring (building standard carpet and tile), ceilings (excluding
false ceilings not located in common areas), roof, elevators and other
structural portions of the Building and common areas, and shall maintain the
fire mains and sprinkler system in the Building and the Building's mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilating equipment and systems. Landlord
shall, also, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the following
infrastructures serving the Premises:

     Distribution piping up to the first isolation valve upstream of any Tenant
process for fresh water and steam plant;

     Distribution piping downstream of the utilities backflow preventer for
Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Compressed Air and Plant Air;

     Distribution piping downstream of the utilities isolation valve for
distilled water and lake water;

     WFI stills, tanks and recirculation loop;

     ACW water line up to the inlet of the ACW's back flow preventer;

     Condensate distribution piping downstream of first isolation valve from the
first trap;

     Power Distribution up to MCC panels; and

     Nine (9) break tanks located within the basement of the Premises and all
associated piping discharging from the break tanks only.

     Landlord shall perform its maintenance in a manner designed to minimize
interference with Tenant's use of the Premises to the extent such is reasonably
possible without incurring additional costs. Landlord shall perform its
maintenance obligations in accordance with the laws of the United States, the
State of Illinois and all directions and regulations of governmental agencies
having jurisdiction over the Premises. Landlord shall have no obligation for
Tenant's personal property, furniture, trade fixtures and equipment, which shall
be Tenant's responsibility.

     B.   Tenant shall at its own expense, maintain and keep in good repair and
in a manner consistent with the current standards of the Building, the process
HVAC systems and controls, the flooring (excluding building standard carpet and
tile); false ceilings, interior doors, non-load

<Page>

bearing walls within the Premises. Tenant shall also, at its sole cost and
expense maintain the following components of system infrastructure list:

     Above grade chemical sewer piping; storm sewer other than below grade
piping and grade roof drains piping;

     Power Distribution from the MCC panels and beyond;

     Nitrogen, carbon dioxide and distilled water systems up to the inlet
isolation valve to the secondary backflow preventer or up to the first isolation
valve upstream of any process takeoff;

     WFI inlet control valve to the break tank and beyond; and

     ACW system from the backflow preventer and beyond.

     C.   Tenant shall, at its expense, maintain its furniture, trade fixtures
and equipment, at all times in good condition and repair. Tenant shall be
responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of all Tenant's furniture, trade
fixtures and equipment. Tenant shall commit no waste of any kind on or about the
Premises and Tenant shall pay for all damage to the Building, as well as damage
to tenants or occupants thereof, caused by misuse or neglect of the Premises, by
Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents or invitees. At the expiration of the Term,
Tenant shall surrender the Premises in good condition, normal wear and tear and
damage by fire or other insured casualty excepted.

     10.  ASSIGNMENT-SUBLEASE. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither Party may assign its
rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express
prior written consent of the other Party hereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement shall be assignable by either Party in whole with
the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) in connection with: (i) a
merger or consolidation of such Party; (ii) the sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of such Party; or (iii) the acquisition by a Third Party of
at least 30% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities
of such Party entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (each
such occurrence, a "Change of Control Event"), in each case so long as the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person assumes all the obligations of the
assignor hereunder by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party. It shall not be deemed
to be unreasonable for a Party to withhold consent to assignment in connection
with a Change of Control Event on the basis that the proposed assignee is a
competitor of such Party. In the event a Party effects a Change of Control
Event without the other Party's prior written consent to assign this Agreement
as set forth above, the latter Party may terminate this Agreement, in its sole
discretion, with effect immediately upon the occurrence of such Change of
Control Event.

     11.  INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
or to any other Persons for any injury to or death of any Person or for loss or
damage to property (including property of Tenant) occurring in the Building or
the Premises from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent caused by
Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant agrees to indemnify and save
Landlord harmless from all loss, damage, liability and expense

<Page>

(including expense of defending claims) relating to any actual or alleged injury
to or death of any Person or loss or damage to property caused by or resulting
from any occurrence on the Premises, except to the extent caused by Landlord's
negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, maintain
liability insurance and "All Risk" insurance with insurers, coverages, amounts
and waiver of subrogation and cancellation clauses acceptable to Landlord. The
liability insurance coverage shall include, without limitation, minimum limits
of $2,000,000.00 (combined single limit per occurrence and $10,000,000.00 annual
aggregate) for property damage. For bodily injuries and death, Tenant's
insurance carrier should be licensed to do business in Illinois and maintain a
minimum Best's rating of "A", category "X". Tenant's "All Risk" insurance
coverage shall include coverage of its moveable fixtures, office equipment,
furniture, trade fixtures and all other items of Tenant's property on the
Premises. Such policy or policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured
and shall be noncancellable as to Landlord and not subject to material change
except upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice given to Landlord.
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a copy of said policy or policies or other
acceptable evidence that said insurance is in effect on the date hereof and at
least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the then current policies.
Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability insurance and "All Risk"
insurance for the full replacement value of the Building and all improvements,
machinery and fixtures. Each Party may self-insure its insurance obligations
hereunder.

     12.  INSPECTION. Landlord may retain a key to the Premises and Landlord and
its employees and agents shall have the right to inspect the Premises at all
reasonable times and to enter the same whenever reasonably necessary to exercise
any right or privilege of Landlord under this Lease.

     13.  EMINENT DOMAIN. If the entire Premises (or a material portion thereof
such that the remainder of the Premises is no longer suitable for Tenant's use)
shall be taken by any public or governmental authority under the power of
eminent domain, the Term shall cease as of the date possession is taken by such
authority and the Rent shall be paid up to that date. If only a part of the
Premises shall be taken and the remainder remains tenantable for the purposes
for which Tenant has been using the Premises, then this Lease shall continue in
effect, except that the Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of
square footage of the Premises so taken, and Landlord, at its expense, shall
make all necessary repairs and alterations to the Premises required by such
taking. However, Landlord shall not be required to make such repairs and
alterations, and this Lease shall terminate on the date possession is taken by
the applicable authority, if so much of the Building is taken by eminent domain
so as to make such repairs and alterations, in Landlord's reasonable judgment,
economically disadvantageous. All damages awarded for such taking may be
retained by Landlord, whether such damage is awarded as compensation for
diminution in the value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises. Tenant
shall be entitled to make a separate claim for cost of removal of equipment and
fixtures and Landlord shall not be entitled to any separate award arising out of
such claim. The term "eminent domain" as used herein shall include the exercise
of any similar governmental power and any purchase or other acquisition in lieu
thereof.

<Page>

     14.  FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY. Should the Building or the Premises be
damaged by fire or other casualty, and if the damage is repairable within ninety
(90) days from the date of such casualty (with the repair work and the
preparation therefor to be done during regular working hours on regular working
days), as determined by Landlord's architect, then the damage shall be repaired
with due diligence by Landlord. In the meantime, Rent shall be abated in the
same proportion that the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the whole
thereof. Should the Premises or the Building be completely destroyed by fire or
other casualty, or should they be damaged to such an extent that the damage
cannot be repaired within ninety (90) days from the date of the casualty, as
determined by Landlord's architect, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the
option of terminating this Lease and shall so advise the other within thirty
(30) days after the date of the casualty. If neither Party has elected to
terminate this Lease within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall commence
and prosecute with reasonable diligence any work necessary to restore or repair
the Premises. For the period from the occurrence of any damage to the Premises
to the date of completion of the repairs (or to the date of termination of this
Lease) the Rent shall be abated in the same proportion as the untenantable
portion of the Premises bears to the whole thereof. Rent hereunder shall not
abate if Tenant's negligence was the cause of the damage or casualty.

     15.  WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Tenant and Landlord hereby mutually release
each other from liability and waive all right of recovery against each other for
any loss from perils insured against under their respective "All Risk" insurance
policies, including any extended coverage and endorsements thereto, and agree to
cause their respective insurers to do the same.

     16.  DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

     A.   DEFAULTS BY TENANT. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute a default ("Default") by Tenant hereunder:

               1.   If Tenant  defaults in the payment of Rent, and if the
          default is not remedied within five (5) days after written notice
          thereof by Landlord to Tenant;

               2.   If Tenant defaults in the prompt and full performance of any
          term, covenant or provision of this Lease (except those specified in
          SUBPARAGRAPHS (1), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of this SUBPARAGRAPH A
          of PARAGRAPH 16) and if such default is not remedied within thirty
          (30) days after notice thereof by the Landlord; provided, however, if
          such default is capable of being cured but cannot by its nature be
          cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall have such longer period as
          is reasonably necessary (not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date
          of the initial default) to cure such default, provided Tenant has
          promptly commenced and is diligently pursuing such cure;

               3.   If the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon under
          execution or is attached under process of law, which levy or
          attachment continues for a period of thirty (30) days;

<Page>

               4.   If Tenant shall generally not pay its debts as they become
          due or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts or shall
          make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

               5.   If Tenant shall commence any case, proceeding or other
          action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation,
          dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating
          to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or
          seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar
          official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property;

               6.   If Tenant shall take any corporate or other action to
          authorize any of the actions set forth above in SUBPARAGRAPHS A(4) and
          A(5) of this PARAGRAPH 16; or

               7.   If any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant shall
          be commenced seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as
          debtor, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
          liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any
          law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of
          debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
          other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of
          its property, and such case, proceeding or other action (i) which
          results in the entry of an order for relief against it which is not
          fully stayed within seven (7) business days after the entry thereof or
          (ii) which is not dismissed for a period of thirty (30) days.

     B.   LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.

               1.   Upon the occurrence of any one or more Defaults by Tenant,
          Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to
          possession of the Premises. Upon any termination of this Lease,
          whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall surrender
          possession and vacate the Premises and deliver possession thereof to
          Landlord. In such event, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and
          free license (a) to enter into and upon the Premises with or without
          process of law, (b) to repossess the Premises, (c) to expel or remove
          Tenant and any others who may be occupying or be within the Premises,
          and (d) to remove any and all property therefrom using such force as
          may be necessary without being deemed in any manner guilty of
          trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer, and without
          relinquishing Landlord's rights to Rent or any other right given to
          Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.

               2.   Landlord may but shall not be obligated to cure any Default
          by Tenant hereunder. If Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses
          paid by Landlord in curing such Default and reasonable legal fees in
          connection therewith shall be additional rent due on the next rent
          date.

<Page>

               3.   Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, any
          and all remedies set forth in this Lease (i) shall be in addition to
          any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, (ii)
          shall be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or
          concurrently as the Landlord may elect. The waiver by Landlord of any
          breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not
          be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any
          subsequent breach of the same, or any other term, covenant or
          condition herein contained. Neither the acceptance of Rent nor any
          other action or omission of Landlord at any time or times after the
          happening of any breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition
          of this Lease, shall operate as a waiver of any past or future breach
          of any term, covenant or condition hereof or to deprive Landlord of
          its right to exercise its remedies on account of such breach, or be
          construed so as to at any future time estop Landlord from promptly
          exercising any other option, right or remedy that it may have under
          any term or provision of this Lease.

     C.   LANDLORD'S DEFAULT AND TENANT'S REMEDIES. If Landlord fails to observe
or perform any material covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by
Landlord under this Lease, and if such failure shall continue for more than
thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord (unless such
failure requires work to be performed, acts to be done, or conditions to be
removed which, by their nature, cannot reasonably be performed, done or removed,
as the case may be, within such period, in which event, if the Landlord shall
have commenced curing or correcting the same within such period and shall have
diligently prosecuted such cure, or correction, such thirty (30) day period
shall be extended by such additional time period as may be reasonably required
for Landlord to cure or correct such failure), then Tenant shall have and may
exercise such rights and remedies to which it may be entitled at law or in
equity upon such default of Landlord, including, but not limited to, the right
to expend amounts necessary to cure such Default and to deduct such amounts from
Rent payments due Landlord.

     17.  NOTICES. All notices or other communications under this Lease must be
in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given (a) when delivered in person,
(b) upon transmission via confirmed facsimile transmission, provided that such
transmission is followed by delivery of a physical copy thereof in person, via
U.S. first class mail, or via a private express mail courier, or (c) two (2)
days after deposit with a private express mail courier, in any such case
addressed as provided in PARAGRAPHS 5 and 6 of the Lease Schedule. Any Party
may, by notice to the other Party, change the address to which such notices are
to be given.

     18.  HOLDING OVER. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the
Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of this Lease, without a
written lease, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant
from month-to-month subject to all of the conditions, provisions and obligations
of this Lease insofar as they may be applicable to such month-to-month tenancy,
except as provided in this PARAGRAPH 18. During such holding over, Tenant shall
pay Rent at one hundred twenty five percent (125%) the rate payable for the year
immediately preceding said holding over computed on a monthly basis for the time
Tenant thus remains in

<Page>

possession. The provisions of this Paragraph do not waive Landlord's rights of
re-entry or right to regain possession by actions at law or in equity or by any
other rights hereunder.

     19.  SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS. This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.

     20.  SUBORDINATION. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate in
interest to any mortgage or ground lease covering the Building now in effect or
hereafter given by Landlord or others provided that so long as Tenant is not in
default hereunder, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant's
possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed. Tenant agrees at Landlord's
request to execute an appropriate instrument confirming its subordination in
exchange for a written non-disturbance agreement executed by any such lender or
ground lessor in a form as may be reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

     21.  QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent
and performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease, shall peaceably have, hold
and enjoy the Premises for the Term without any hindrance by or through
Landlord, or its successors or assigns.

     22.  PARKING. Tenant and its employees, guests and visitors shall be
permitted to park, along with other tenants of the Building, their employees,
guests and visitors in parking areas adjacent to the Building in accordance with
Landlord's standard parking procedures.

     23.  SALE BY LANDLORD. In the event of an arms length sale or conveyance by
Landlord to an unrelated third party of Landlord's interest in the Building or
in this Lease, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future
liability under this Lease accruing from and after such transfer. Tenant agrees
to look solely to the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease for
the performance of Landlord's covenants and obligations.

     24.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord at any
time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) business days' prior
written notice, furnish to Landlord, or an entity designated by Landlord, a
certificate stating (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect), (ii) the dates to
which the Rent and other charges are paid, (iii) that Tenant is in possession
and paying Rent on a current basis with no offsets, defenses or claims, (iv)
that there are not any uncured defaults on the part of Tenant and to Tenant's
knowledge, on the part of Landlord, under the Lease (or specifying such
defaults, if any are claimed) and (v) such other matters as Landlord may
reasonably require or that any prospective purchaser, mortgagee or ground lessor
may require.

     25.  TRANSFER OF PERSONAL PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND TRADE FIXTURES. In
consideration of Tenant's obligations and covenants hereunder, Landlord hereby
sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to Tenant all of its right, title and
interest in and to the personal property, equipment and trade fixtures located
on the Premises as of the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, all
personal property, equipment and trade fixtures located on the Premises shall be
deemed the property of Tenant.

<Page>

     26.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Prior to executing this Lease, Tenant has
completed, executed and delivered to Landlord a Hazardous Materials Disclosure
Certificate ("Initial Disclosure Certificate") a fully completed copy of which
is attached hereto as EXHIBIT E and incorporated herein by this reference.
Tenant covenants, represents and warrants to Landlord that the information on
the Initial Disclosure Certificate is true and correct and accurately describes
all Hazardous Materials (as defined below) which will be manufactured, treated,
used, handled, transported or stored on or about the Premises by Tenant or
Tenant's agents. Tenant shall on each anniversary of the Commencement Date and
at such other times as Tenant desires to manufacture, treat, use, handle,
transport or store on or about the Premises new or additional Hazardous
Materials which were not listed on the Initial Disclosure Certificate, complete,
execute and deliver to Landlord an updated Disclosure Certificate (each, an
"Updated Disclosure Certificate") describing the then current and proposed
future presence of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises, which Updated
Disclosure Certificate shall be in the same format as that which is set forth in
EXHIBIT E or in such updated format as Landlord may require from time to time.
Tenant shall deliver an Updated Disclosure Certificate to Landlord not less than
thirty (30) days prior to the date Tenant intends to commence the manufacture,
treatment, use, handling, transportation or storage of new or additional
Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right
to approve or disapprove such new or additional Hazardous Materials in its sole
and absolute discretion. Tenant shall not allow the presence of Hazardous
Materials on or about the Premises except as described in the Initial Disclosure
Certificate or as otherwise approved by Landlord in writing in accordance with
this PARAGRAPH 26, which approval shall not be withheld if consistent with
Landlord's past practice on the Premises.

     Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be generated,
produced, brought upon, used, stored, treated or disposed of in or about the
Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, sublessees or invitees
without (a) the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and (b) complying with all applicable federal, state and
local laws and ordinances pertaining to the transportation, storage, use,
treatment, handling, manufacture or disposal of such Hazardous Materials,
including but not limited to obtaining and complying with proper licenses and
permits. Landlord shall be entitled to take into account such other factors or
facts as Landlord may reasonably determine to be relevant in determining whether
to grant or withhold consent to Tenant's proposed activity with respect to
Hazardous Material. In no event, however, shall Landlord be required to consent
to the installation or use of any underground storage tanks.

     If, during the Term, the treatment, handling, manufacture, transportation,
storage, use, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials on the Premises results
in the contamination of leasehold improvements (including buildings), equipment,
soil or surface or ground water or loss or damage to Person(s) or property, then
Tenant agrees to: (a) notify Landlord immediately of any contamination, claim of
contamination, loss or damage, (b) after consultation with the Landlord, clean
up the contamination in full compliance with all applicable statutes,

according to the terms set forth in SCHEDULE D; provided, that the Charges shall
exclude any and all amounts for services performed by a Third Party that is not
an agent, supplier, subcontractor or independent contractor of the Party
providing the Services under such Work Schedule. The Charges set forth in a Work
Schedule shall be a good faith estimate of the charges for the Services covered
by that Work Schedule, and shall neither be binding on the Party providing such
estimate nor convert the Work Schedule into a fixed-price contract. Any such
estimate is for informational purposes only, and the actual fees payable for any
Services may be higher or lower than that estimate, with such higher amounts, if
applicable, to be paid by the Party responsible for such Charges under the
applicable Work Schedule.

               (ii)   REPORTING OBLIGATIONS. The Project Executive or their
designee shall be responsible for overseeing the Separation Projects and the
progress of the Services in light of the estimated Charges. As described in more
detail in each applicable Work Schedule, each Party shall report to the other
Party regarding the status of each Separation Project in the manner and with the
frequency described in the applicable Work Schedule (including the
identification of any known overages in the estimated Charges and an updated
estimate to complete such Separation Project), and, in any event, no less
frequently than monthly during the term of this Agreement. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing, the Parties shall provide such reporting using the form of
status report attached hereto as SCHEDULE G.

                                        6

     (e)       CHANGE CONTROL PROCEDURES. During the term of this Agreement,
Abbott and/or Hospira may desire a change in the scope of the effort, including
modifying, updating and/or refining any Work Schedule or the Separation Projects
Plan. Requests for all changes shall be made in writing and delivered to the
appropriate Project Executive. The Project Executives from both Parties shall
review the proposed change and: (i) approve it; (ii) return it with a request
for more detail or information; or (iii) reject it. The Project Executives shall
agree on any Charges for such change, including the charges for investigating
such change if applicable. If the change is authorized, the Parties' Project
Executives shall so indicate in writing, which writing shall constitute approval
for the change and the applicable Charges. The writing shall also indicate the
effect that the change will have on the other terms and conditions of the
applicable Work Schedule(s). Except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, the
Party requesting a change shall compensate the other party for investigating and
preparing any proposed addendum or change to a Work Schedule.

     (f)       TRANSITIONAL NATURE OF SERVICES. The Parties acknowledge the
transitional nature of the Services and agree to cooperate in good faith and to
use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate a smooth transition and
completion of the Separation Projects.

     (g)       COOPERATION. In the event that (i) there is nonperformance of any
Service as a result of an event described in SECTION 7(d), or (ii) the provision
of a Service would violate applicable law, the Parties agree to work together in
good faith to arrange for an alternative means by which the Separation Project
may be accomplished.

     (h)       USE OF THIRD PARTIES.

               (i)    THIRD PARTIES USED TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES. Either Party
may perform its obligations herein through its Subsidiaries or through agents,
suppliers, subcontractors or independent contractors of such Party, or of its
Subsidiaries; provided, that each such agent, supplier, subcontractor or
independent contractor (and the individual employees of such Persons) used by a
Party shall be subject to the reasonable prior approval of the other Party. The
Parties hereby approve the use of any of the suppliers listed in SCHEDULE E;
provided, however, that each Party reserves the right to reasonably approve or
reject individual employees of such suppliers. In addition, if in connection
with the provision of Services or Materials a Party uses any agent, supplier,
subcontractor or independent contractor who has been fired, dismissed or
relieved of its obligations by the other Party or its Subsidiary due to poor
performance or other cause, the other Party shall be entitled to cause the
hiring Party to promptly remove and replace such agent, supplier subcontractor
or independent contractor.

               (ii)   THIRD PARTIES USED FOR MATTERS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE
SERVICES. Each Party shall also have the right to engage agents, suppliers,
subcontractors or independent contractors to provide services that are outside
the scope of the Services, provided that such Third Parties will not, either
individually or in connection with one or more other agents, suppliers,
subcontractors or independent contractors (including the Third Parties described
in SECTION 2(h)(i)) materially adversely affect the Services without the other
Party's reasonable consent; and further, provided that the engaging Party shall
be solely responsible for all such agents, suppliers, subcontractors or
independent contractors.

                                        7
<Page>

               (iii)  TERMS APPLICABLE TO ALL THIRD PARTIES USED BY A PARTY.
Each Party shall cooperate with and work in good faith with the agents,
suppliers, subcontractors and independent contractors engaged by the other Party
in connection herewith or in connection with related services that require the
cooperation of such Party. Such cooperation may include providing reasonable
access to the facilities, systems, equipment and/or software required by the
other Party to provide the Services or such related services, solely to the
extent necessary for such agents, suppliers, subcontractors and independent
contractors to perform the work assigned to them. The engaging Party shall cause
all such agents, suppliers, subcontractors and independent contractors to comply
with the other Party's security and confidentiality requirements.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party shall not be
relieved of its obligations under this Agreement by use of any Subsidiaries,
agents, suppliers, subcontractors or independent contractors.

     (i)       SECURITY PROCEDURES. Each Party's respective security
administration groups shall, subject to the reasonable approval of the other
Party, establish and maintain environmental, safety and facility procedures,
data security procedures and other safeguards against the destruction, loss,
unauthorized access or alteration of systems or Materials of the other Party
which are (i) no less rigorous than those maintained by a Party for its own
information of a similar nature, and (ii) adequate to meet the requirements of
the other Party's security policies and applicable law. In the event a Party
discovers or is notified of a breach or potential breach of security relating to
systems or Materials of the other Party, such Party will expeditiously under the
circumstances notify the other Party, and will cooperate in the investigation
and remediation of the effects of such breach or potential breach of security.

     (j)       CONSENTS.

               (i)    HOSPIRA IT AGREEMENTS. Subject to the Parties obtaining
any required Consents, Abbott or the applicable Abbott Subsidiary shall assign
to Hospira or the applicable Hospira Subsidiary any Hospira IT Agreement. The
assignment shall be subject to the terms of the Separation and Distribution
Agreement, and the rights and obligations under such IT Agreement shall be
Hospira Assets and Hospira Liabilities and, if applicable, Delayed Transfer
Assets and Delayed Transfer Liabilities, as such terms are defined in the
Separation and Distribution Agreement. The costs of obtaining any required
Consent in connection with the assignment of any Hospira IT Agreement shall be
borne solely by Hospira. If, despite using their commercially reasonable
efforts, the Parties are unable to obtain a Consent in connection with a Hospira
IT Agreement, then, unless and until such Consent is obtained, the Parties shall
use their commercially reasonable efforts to use mutually acceptable alternative
approaches to provide the Services or to deliver substantially similar benefits
at the sole cost and expense of Hospira.

               (ii)   SHARED IT AGREEMENTS. Subject to the Parties obtaining any
required Consents, Abbott or the applicable Abbott Subsidiary shall assign to
Hospira or the applicable Hospira Subsidiary that portion of any Shared IT
Agreement that relates to the Hospira Business. The partial assignment shall be
subject to the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, and the
rights and obligations under the assigned portion of such IT Agreement shall be
Hospira Assets and Hospira Liabilities and, if applicable, Delayed Transfer
Assets and Delayed Transfer Liabilities, as such terms are defined in the
Separation and Distribution Agreement. The costs of obtaining any required
Consent in connection with the partial

                                        8
<Page>

assignment of any Shared IT Agreement shall be borne solely by Hospira. If,
despite using their commercially reasonable efforts, the Parties are unable to
obtain a Consent in connection with a Shared IT Agreement, then, unless and
until such Consent is obtained, the Parties shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to use mutually acceptable alternative approaches to provide
the Services or to deliver substantially similar benefits at the sole cost and
expense of Hospira. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this SECTION 2(j)(ii), if
the partial assignment of a Shared IT Agreement to Hospira or a Hospira
Subsidiary will obligate Abbott or an Abbott Subsidiary to pay a penalty,
transfer fee or other amount(s) to a Third Party to account for reduced volume,
revenue or other commitments (a "Third Party Payment") under that portion of the
Shared IT Agreement that would remain with Abbott or the Abbott Subsidiary after
the partial assignment, then the Parties will work together in good faith to
agree on cost allocation principles in connection with the Third Party Payment.
Such cost allocation principles shall take into account the benefits received
by, and the additional costs incurred by, each Party in connection with the
partial assignment of the Shared IT Agreement, if undertaken, and the Party who
will receive the primary benefit of any such partial assignment.

Section 3.     OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE RIGHTS IN MATERIALS.

     (a)       OWNED MATERIALS.

               (i)    Abbott shall be the sole and exclusive owner of Materials
which are used in connection with the Services and are owned by Abbott, or
licensed from Third Parties by Abbott, or any of its Subsidiaries, including all
enhancements and Derivative Works of such Materials, including United States and
foreign intellectual property rights in such Materials and shall retain all of
Abbott's, its Subsidiaries' and Third Party licensors' rights in such Materials
(all such owned, licensed, developed and provided Materials, "Abbott Owned
Materials"). Subject to the terms of any Consents, Abbott grants to Hospira, its
Subsidiaries and their contractors and agents a non-exclusive, non-transferable,
worldwide, limited right and license to use, execute, reproduce, display,
perform, modify and distribute the Abbott Owned Materials for the sole purpose
of providing and/or receiving the Services during the term of this Agreement;
PROVIDED, that this license does not give Hospira and its Subsidiaries, or their
contractors or agents, the right, and Hospira and its Subsidiaries, and their
contractors and agents, are not authorized, to sublicense such Materials or use
them for the benefit of other customers or for any other purpose without
Abbott's prior written consent. Abbott may, in its sole discretion and upon such
terms and at such prices as the Parties may agree, grant Hospira a license to
use the Abbott Owned Materials for other purposes and to sublicense such
Materials.

               (ii)   Hospira shall be the sole and exclusive owner of Materials
which are used in connection with the Services and are owned by Hospira, or
licensed from Third Parties by Hospira, or any of its Subsidiaries, including
all enhancements and Derivative Works of such Materials, including United States
and foreign intellectual property rights in such Materials and shall retain all
of Hospira's, its Subsidiaries' and Third Party licensors' rights in such
Materials (all such owned, licensed, developed and provided Materials, "Hospira
Owned Materials"). Subject to the terms of any Consents, Hospira grants to
Abbott, its Subsidiaries and their contractors and agents a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, worldwide, limited right and license to use, execute,
reproduce, display, perform, modify and distribute the Hospira Owned Materials
for the sole purpose of providing and/or receiving the Services during the term
of this

                                        9
<Page>

Agreement; PROVIDED, that this license does not give Abbott and its Subsidiaries
or their contractors or agents, the right, and Abbott and its Subsidiaries, and
their contractors and agents, are not authorized, to sublicense such Materials
or use them for the benefit of other customers or for any other purpose without
Hospira's prior written consent. Hospira may, in its sole discretion and upon
such terms and at such prices as the Parties may agree, grant Abbott a license
to use the Hospira Owned Materials for other purposes and to sublicense such
Materials.

     (b)       DEVELOPED MATERIALS.

               (i)    OWNERSHIP. The Parties shall jointly own all intellectual
property rights in all Developed Materials. The Parties will, without
limitation, retain the right to make, have made, use, lease, import, offer for
sale, or sell and practice methods used in the creation or provision of products
or services that incorporate the Developed Materials to the extent that such
actions do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of the other
Party. Each Party shall retain the right to grant non-exclusive licenses to any
intellectual property right in the Developed Materials without any payment or
accounting to the other Party.

               (ii)   COST SHARING OF DEVELOPED MATERIALS. Each Party agrees to
pay one-half (1/2) the costs associated with obtaining and perfecting any
intellectual property rights in the Developed Materials. If, within ninety (90)
days of receiving notice from the other Party of payments made by the other
Party associated with obtaining and perfecting intellectual property rights in
the subject Developed Materials in a particular jurisdiction, a Party
subsequently fails to provide its share of the costs, it will promptly assign,
transfer and convey to the other Party any and all intellectual property rights
in the subject Developed Materials, and such assignment of rights shall be the
paying Party's sole and exclusive remedy for the assigning Party's exercise of
its option not to pay one-half (1/2) of the costs of obtaining or perfecting any
such rights in the Developed Materials. The assigning Party shall deliver to the
other Party, upon request therefor, such documentation and assignments of
interest as may be necessary to evidence its ownership and enforce its interests
in the assigned rights. In any event, both Parties agree, at their own expense,
to cooperate fully with the other Party in obtaining and perfecting intellectual
property rights in the Developed Materials, or in assisting in such efforts.

               (iii)  EMBEDDED MATERIALS. To the extent that Abbott Owned
Materials or Hospira Owned Materials are embedded in any Developed Materials by
the owner of such Materials, the owner of such Materials shall not be deemed to
have assigned its intellectual property rights in such owned Materials to the
other Party, but subject to the terms and restrictions of any Consent, the owner
of such embedded Materials hereby grants to the other Party and its Subsidiaries
a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully paid-up license, with
the right to grant sublicenses, to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform,
modify, enhance, distribute and create Derivative Works of such embedded
Materials for the benefit and use of the other Party and its Subsidiaries for so
long as such Materials remain embedded in such Developed Materials.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall embed any Abbott Owned
Materials or Hospira Owned Materials into Developed Materials without the
express written agreement of both Parties to do so, as set forth in the
applicable Work Schedule. In addition, should either Party incorporate into
Developed Materials any intellectual property subject to Third Party patent,
copyright or license rights, any ownership or license rights granted herein with
respect to such Materials shall be limited by and subject to any such patents,

                                       10
<Page>

copyrights or license rights; PROVIDED that, prior to incorporating any such
intellectual property in any Materials, the Party incorporating such
intellectual property in the Materials has disclosed this fact and obtained the
prior written approval of the other Party and has obtained any Consents.

               (iv)   SOURCE CODE AND DOCUMENTATION. If either Party requests
that the source code for particular Materials be placed in escrow for the
benefit of the requesting Party, then the Parties shall cooperate in good faith
to establish such source code escrow arrangements on terms and conditions that
shall be reasonably acceptable to both Parties.

     (c)       GENERAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS REGARDING MATERIALS.

               (i)    COPYRIGHT LEGENDS. Each Party agrees to reproduce
copyright legends which appear on any portion of the Materials which may be
owned by the other Party or Third Parties.

               (ii)   NO IMPLIED LICENSES. Except as expressly specified in this
Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant to one Party, by
implication, estoppel or otherwise, license rights, ownership rights or any
other intellectual property rights in any Materials owned by the other Party or
any Subsidiary of the other Party.

               (iii)  RESIDUALS. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any
employee or representative of a Party from using general ideas, concepts or
know-how relating to the Services or Materials that are retained solely in the
unaided memory of such employee or representative after performing the
obligations of a Party under this Agreement, except to the extent that such use
infringes upon any patent, copyright or other intellectual property right of a
Party or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that this Section shall not be
deemed to limit either Party's obligations under this Agreement with respect to
the disclosure or use of confidential Information or Materials of the other
Party. An individual's memory is unaided if the individual has not intentionally
memorized the confidential Information or subject Materials for the purpose of
retaining and subsequently using or disclosing it.

               (iv)   REQUIRED CONSENTS. Subject to SECTION 2(j) above, each
Party shall, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
all Consents necessary in connection with (i) in the case of Abbott, all Abbott
Owned Materials, and (ii) in the case of Hospira, all Hospira Owned Materials.
Each of the Parties will reasonably cooperate with the other in obtaining such
Consents.

Section 4.     BILLING; TAXES.

     (a)       PROCEDURE. Each Work Schedule shall set forth the types of, and
where possible, the amount of, Charges that each Party shall be financially
responsible for in connection with the Services and the Materials to be
developed, procured or provided pursuant to a Work Schedule. Where Charges are
to be paid to a Third Party for Services or Materials under a Work Schedule, the
Party listed as the responsible Party under the Work Schedule shall pay such
Charges directly to the Third Party. Where Charges are to be paid to the other
Party, the Party who is entitled to reimbursement for Services or other Charges
pursuant to a Work Schedule shall issue an invoice detailing such charges to the
other Party. Amounts payable

                                       11
<Page>

pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be paid to the invoicing Party on
a monthly basis, which amounts shall be due within thirty (30) days after the
date of invoice. All amounts due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and
paid in U.S. dollars.

     (b)       LATE PAYMENTS. Charges not paid when due shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%).

     (c)       TAXES. The Party who is primarily responsible for payment for
Charges under a particular Work Schedule shall pay any and all Taxes incurred in
connection with the Services under that Work Schedule, including all sales, use,
value-added and similar Taxes, but excluding Taxes based on the other Party's
net income. Each Party shall be responsible for all sales, service, value-added,
lease, use, personal property, excise, consumption, and other taxes and duties,
including VAT, payable by such Party on any goods or services used or consumed
by such Party in providing Services where the tax is imposed on such Party's
acquisition or use of such goods or services.

     (d)       NO SET-OFF. The obligation to pay Charges or to make any other
required payments under this Agreement shall not be subject to any right of
offset, set-off, deduction or counterclaim, however arising.

Section 5.     TERM; TERMINATION OF WORK SCHEDULES; TRANSFER ASSISTANCE.

     (a)       TERM. This Agreement will expire two (2) years after the
Distribution Date unless extended in writing by duly authorized representatives
of each Party (the "Expiration Date"). No later than three (3) months prior to
the Expiration Date, the Parties shall meet and confer to discuss the status of
all uncompleted Work Schedules and, where feasible, develop a plan to complete
such Work Schedule on or before the Expiration Date, and to negotiate a new
agreement for any Services that the Parties reasonably believe will extend
beyond the Expiration Date.

     (b)       TERMINATION OF WORK SCHEDULES.

               (i)    TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Upon receipt by the other
Party of at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, either Party may
terminate a Work Schedule without the consent of the other Party solely for the
purpose of transferring the control and responsibility for the Services under
such Work Schedule to the terminating Party; provided, that (A) the terminating
Party shall be solely responsible for completing such Work Schedule during the
term of this Agreement, and (B) upon receipt of such notice, the terminated
Party shall be released from all responsibility in connection with the
terminated Work Schedule, except as provided in SECTION 5(b)(ii).

               (ii)   TRANSFER ASSISTANCE. Upon receipt of a notice to terminate
a Work Schedule pursuant to SECTION 5(b)(i), each Party shall provide to the
other Party such assistance as is reasonably necessary to permit the orderly
transfer of the Services to be performed under such Work Schedule to the
terminating Party, including providing reasonable access to any facilities,
systems, equipment and/or software being used by the other Party to provide the

                                       12
<Page>

Services under the terminated Work Schedule; provided, that the terminating
Party shall comply with the other Party's security and confidentiality
requirements in connection with such access.

Section 6.     CONFIDENTIALITY; PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS.

     (a)       CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS. Subject to SECTION 6(c), Abbott, on
behalf of itself and each Abbott Subsidiary, and Hospira, on behalf of itself
and each Hospira Subsidiary, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors
and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree
of care that applies to Abbott's confidential and proprietary information
pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Date, all Information and
Materials concerning the other (or its business) and the other's Subsidiaries
(or their respective businesses) that is either in its possession (including
Information and Materials in its possession prior to the Effective Date) or
furnished by the other or the other's Subsidiaries or their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors
and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and will not use any
such Information or Materials other than for such purposes as may be expressly
permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Information
or Materials has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of such Party or
its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives; (ii) later
lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any of its Subsidiaries)
which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation; or (iii)
independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential
Information or Materials of the other Party.

     (b)       NO RELEASE, RETURN OR DESTRUCTION. Each Party agrees not to
release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any such Information
or Materials to any other Person, except its directors, officers, employees,
agents, accountants, counsel, lenders, investors and other advisors and
representatives who need to know such Information or Materials, and except in
compliance with SECTION 6(c). Without limiting the foregoing, when any
Information or Materials furnished by the other Party after the Effective Date
pursuant to this Agreement is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by
this Agreement, each Party shall, at such Party's option, promptly after
receiving a written request from the other Party either return to the other
Party all such Information and Materials in a tangible form (including all
copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to
the other Party that it has destroyed such Information and Materials (and such
copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).

     (c)       PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS. In the event that either Party or any of
its Subsidiaries either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is
required to disclose any Information or Materials pursuant to applicable law or
the rules or regulations of any Governmental Authority or receives any demand
under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide
Information or Materials of any other Party that is subject to the
confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party prior
to disclosing or providing such Information and Materials and shall cooperate at
the expense of the requesting Party in seeking any reasonable protective
arrangements requested by such other Party. Subject to the foregoing, the Person
that received such request may thereafter disclose or

                                       13
<Page>

provide Information and Materials to the extent required by such law (as so
advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

Section 7.     MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)       MUTUAL COOPERATION. The Parties and their respective Subsidiaries
shall cooperate with each other in connection with the performance of the
Services hereunder and the completion of the Separation Projects, including
producing on a timely basis all Information and Materials that is reasonably
requested with respect to the performance of Services and the completion of the
Separation Projects, by the end of the term of this Agreement; provided,
however, that such cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt the normal
operations of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries.

     (b)       LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.

               (i)    FOR EACH TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD DURING WHICH THIS
AGREEMENT IS IN EFFECT, THE FIRST SUCH PERIOD COMMENCING ON THE DISTRIBUTION
DATE AND THE SECOND (AND ANY SUBSEQUENT PERIODS) COMMENCING ON EACH ANNUAL
ANNIVERSARY THEREOF, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
TO, AND THE SOLE REMEDY OF, EACH PARTY AND ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES WITH RESPECT
TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT,
REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY UPON WHICH THE LIABILITY IS PREMISED, SHALL NOT EXCEED
THE PROFITS OF THE PARTY PROVIDING THE SERVICES HEREUNDER, WHICH SHALL BE DEEMED
TO BE EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE MARK-UP RECEIVED BY THE PARTY PROVIDING THE
SERVICES DURING SUCH TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD, AS SUCH AMOUNT IS SPECIFIED IN
SCHEDULE D AND AS MAY BE ADJUSTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF SCHEDULE D.

               (ii)   IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR ITS
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR
INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ON BEHALF OF
ITSELF AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR
PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

               (iii)  The foregoing limitations on liability in this SECTION
7(b) shall not apply to: (i) either Party's liability for breaches of
confidentiality under SECTION 6 (Confidentiality), and (ii) either Party's
obligations under SECTION 7(c) (Third Party Claims).

               (iii)  For any Abbott Owned Materials used or provided by Abbott
or any Abbott Subsidiary in connection with Abbott's or any Abbott Subsidiary's
provision of Services hereunder, but excluding any Materials provided or

right in connection with such affected Materials to (i) modify or replace the
affected Materials so that they are not infringing; (ii) procure a license for
the indemnified Party in the affected Materials such that use of the affected
Materials may continue in the required manner; or (iii) at the indemnifying
Party's sole option, the indemnifying Party may cease use of the affected
Materials, and, subject to any rights and obligations set forth in SECTION 2(j),
thereafter the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially
reasonable efforts to arrive at an alternative solution or workaround that
eliminates the need for the affected Materials.

                                       15

               (vi)   The indemnification rights and obligations set forth in
SECTIONS 7(c)(iii), 7(c)(iv) and 7(c)(v) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy
for the indemnified Party with respect to claims of infringement of intellectual
property rights.

               (vii)  NOTICE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If at or following the date
of this Agreement an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise learns of the
assertion or commencement by a Person (including any Governmental Authority)
other than Abbott or Hospira and their respective Subsidiaries of any proceeding
with respect to which an indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide
indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to SECTION 7(c) (collectively, a
"Third Party Claim"), such Indemnitee shall give such indemnifying Party written
notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third Party
Claim. Any such notice must describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to
give notice as provided in this SECTION 7(c)(vii) shall not relieve the related
indemnifying Party of its obligations under SECTION 7(c), except to the extent
that such indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give
notice.

     (d)       FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party shall be deemed in default of this
Agreement to the extent that any delay or failure in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement results from any cause beyond its reasonable
control and without its fault or negligence, such as acts of God, acts of
Governmental Authority, embargoes, epidemics, war, riots, insurrections, acts of
terrorism, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, unusually severe weather
conditions, labor problems or unavailability of parts, or, in the case of
computer systems, any failure in electrical or air conditioning equipment,
viruses or similar disabling devices, or breaches of network or system security.
The Party claiming an event of force majeure shall promptly notify the other
Party in writing, and provide full particulars of the cause or event and the
date of first occurrence thereof, as soon as possible after the event and also
keep the other Party informed of any further developments. The Party so affected
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remove the cause of
non-performance, and both the Parties shall resume performance hereunder with
the utmost dispatch when such cause is removed unless this Agreement has
previously been terminated under SECTION 5 hereof.

     (e)       RELATIONSHIP GOVERNANCE. Each of the Parties shall appoint a
separation services project executive or their designee from time to time (each
a "Project Executive") who has responsibility for overseeing the completion of
the Services, respectively, and who shall have the authority to act on behalf of
the Parties, respectively, for all day-to-day matters pertaining to this
Agreement. These Project Executives shall meet no less frequently than monthly
to review status, consider changes to the Separation Project Plan, review and
sign Work Schedules, discuss, and if possible, resolve disputes, and provide
direction to the team members performing the Services. Additionally, each Party
will have the option, but will not be obligated, to designate additional
representatives who will be authorized to make certain decisions (e.g.,
regarding emergencies) if the Project Executive is not available. Each Party
shall cooperate with the other by, among other things, making available, as
reasonably requested by the other Party, management decisions, Information,
Materials, approvals and acceptances so that each Party may accomplish its
obligations and responsibilities hereunder. All transfers of Developed Materials
and communications regarding the scope of work shall be accomplished through the
Project Executives. In addition, the Project Executives shall arrange and chair
any progress review meetings, be responsible for ensuring that each Party's
responsibilities have been

                                       16
<Page>

met on a timely basis and shall control all changes to the applicable Work
Schedule(s). Either Party may change the person designated to be its Project
Executives for any Work Schedule at any time upon written notice to the other
Party's Project Executive. As of the Effective Date, except as otherwise
designated on an applicable Work Schedule, the Parties have designated the
following positions as the Project Executives for purposes of this Agreement:

               Abbott: Vice President, Information Technology

               Hospira: Vice President, Information Technology

     (f)       ACCEPTANCE. Acceptance shall occur when the Services and
Materials described in the Work Schedule meet the agreed upon acceptance
criteria as described in the Work Schedule. If the Services and Materials do not
meet the acceptance criteria as set forth in the Work Schedule when they are
ready for acceptance evaluation, a Party may give the other Party detailed
written notification of the deficiency or non-conformance within thirty (30)
business days of delivery of the Services or Materials. The providing Party then
shall either correct the deficiency or non-conformance or provide a plan
acceptable for correcting the deficiency or non-conformance. If the deficiency
or non-conformance is not corrected or if an acceptable plan for correcting such
deficiency or non-conformance is not established during such period, then the
aggrieved Party may initiate an ADR proceeding pursuant to SECTION 7(k).

     (g)       AUDIT ASSISTANCE.

               (i)    GENERALLY. Each of the Parties and their respective
Subsidiaries are or may be subject to regulation and audit by governmental
bodies, standards organizations, other regulatory authorities, customers or
other parties to contracts with such parties under applicable law and contract
provisions. If a governmental body, standards organization, other regulatory
authority or customer or other Party to a contract with a Party or a Subsidiary
exercises its right to examine or audit such Party's or its Subsidiary's books,
records, documents or accounting practices and procedures pursuant to such
applicable law, rules, regulations, standards or contract provisions, the other
Party shall provide all assistance requested by the Party that is subject to the
audit in responding to such audits or requests for information, to the extent
that such assistance or information is within the reasonable control of the
cooperating Party. The Parties may execute a Work Schedule if mutually desired
to document the work effort and Charges that may be required in connection with
an audit.

               (ii)   CONTROLS. After the Effective Date and continuing no
longer than required in accordance with the maintaining Party's applicable
document retention policies, subject to the provisions of the TSA, each of the
Parties will maintain in effect, at its own cost and expense, adequate controls
to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the other Party to satisfy its
reporting, accounting, audit and other obligations.

     (h)       INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. The Parties each acknowledge that they
are separate entities, each of which has entered into this Agreement for
independent business reasons. The relationships of the Parties hereunder are
those of independent contractors and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
create a joint venture, partnership or any other relationship.

                                       17
<Page>

     (i)       NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except as expressly provided in
SECTION 7(c), the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the
Parties and their Subsidiaries and are not intended to confer upon any Person
except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder. Except for the Hospira
Indemnitees and the Abbott Indemnitees, there are no Third Party beneficiaries
of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any Third Party with any
remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in
excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

     (j)       GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois
irrespective of the choice of laws principles of the State of Illinois, as to
all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect,
enforceability, performance and remedies.

     (k)       ADR PROCEDURES; EQUITABLE RELIEF. The Parties acknowledge that
from time to time during the term of this Agreement a dispute may arise relating
to either Party's rights or obligations under this Agreement. The Parties agree
that any controversy or claim (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise)
arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement (including the
interpretation or validity of this Agreement), shall be resolved exclusively by
the alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provisions set forth in this SECTION
7(k) and SCHEDULE F, the result of which shall be binding upon the Parties.

               (i)    NOTICE. To initiate the ADR process, a Party first must
send written notice to the other Party in accordance with the provisions of
SECTION 7(p) describing the dispute and requesting attempted resolution by good
faith negotiations. Good faith negotiations shall be conducted in two stages,
with the second stage being triggered only if first stage negotiations do not
result in a resolution of the dispute.

               (ii)   FIRST STAGE NEGOTIATIONS. Following receipt of the written
notice described in the preceding paragraph, the respective CEOs or Presidents
of the Parties shall designate a group of no more than three individuals,
exclusive of counsel, to participate in good faith negotiations aimed at
resolving the dispute. Within 21 days from receipt of the written notice, the
respective groups shall meet in-person to conduct good faith negotiations. By
mutual written consent, the Parties may extend the 21-day period for conducting
first stage negotiations. If the Parties fail to meet within the 21-day period
or the Parties fail to resolve the dispute during such period, and the period is
not extended by mutual written agreement, the Parties shall engage in second
stage negotiations as described in the next paragraph.

               (iii)  SECOND STAGE NEGOTIATIONS. Following the expiration of the
21-day period described in the preceding paragraph, or any extension thereof
mutually agreed to in writing, if the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute,
they shall engage in second stage negotiations. Second stage negotiations shall
be conducted between the respective CEOs or Presidents (or their designees) of
the Parties within 14 days following the conclusion of first stage negotiations.
If the dispute has not been resolved within the 14 days provided for second
stage negotiations, either Party may initiate an ADR proceeding as provided in
SCHEDULE F. The Parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel in
such a proceeding.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the
breach of SECTION 3 (Ownership and License Rights in Materials), SECTION 6
(Confidentiality), and/or SECTION 2(i) (Security Procedures) by one Party may
give rise to irreparable injury to the other Party which is not adequately
compensable in damages or at law. Accordingly, the Parties agree that in such
event, the non-breaching party may seek equitable relief to enforce or prevent
violation of such Party's respective rights and/or obligations under those
Sections. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to
provide Services and honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the
course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 7(k) and
SCHEDULE F with respect to all matters subject to such dispute, controversy or
claim; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this obligation shall only exist during the term
of this Agreement.

     (l)       INTERPRETATION. Words in the singular shall be deemed to include
the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the
other genders as the context requires. The terms "hereof," "herein," and
"herewith" and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be
construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Schedules
hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. "Section" and
"Schedule" references are to the Sections and Schedules to this Agreement unless
otherwise specified. Unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement
shall be deemed to include the exhibits, schedules and annexes to such
agreement. The word "including" and words of similar import when used in this
Agreement shall mean "including, without limitation," unless the context
otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified. The word "or" shall not be
exclusive. Unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word "days"
refers to calendar days. References herein to this Agreement or any other
agreements contemplated herein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement or
such other agreement as of 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time on the Distribution
Date and as such time may be amended thereafter, unless otherwise specified.

     (m)       SURVIVAL. SECTION 1 (Definitions), SECTION 3 (Billing; Taxes),
SECTION 5 (Confidentiality), SECTIONS 2(b), 2(c)(iii), 2(d), 2(e) (with respect
to those portions of SCHEDULE F that survive termination), 7(b) (Liability),
7(c) (Third Party Claims), 7(g) (Audit Assistance), and 7(i) (No Third Party
Beneficiaries) THROUGH 7(s) (Severability) shall survive any expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

     (n)       AMENDMENT; ASSIGNMENT. No amendment to this Agreement shall be
effective unless it is in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative
of each Party or, in the case of an amendment (including an early termination)
of a Work Schedule, signed by the contact listed on the applicable Work
Schedule, or by such contact's senior management. Neither this Agreement nor any
of the rights and obligations of a Party hereunder shall be assignable or
transferable by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party;
provided, however, that this Agreement shall be assignable by either Party with
the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) in connection with a sale, by
sale of stock, sale of assets, merger or otherwise, of all or substantially all
of one or more businesses, business units or product lines of the assigning
Party. The acquirer or surviving entity shall agree in writing to be bound by
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     (o)       NO WAIVERS. No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any
power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Parties and their Subsidiaries hereunder are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have
hereunder. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed waived unless such
waiver is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party
against whom it is sought to be enforced.

     (p)       NOTICES. All notices or other communications under this Agreement
must be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given (i) when delivered in
