                  Re: Consulting Agreement for the Development of
                      Strategic Plan for IWG

Dear Rod:

I would like to confirm the understanding and agreement reached with you, Rob
Hamvee and Mark Holdsworth regarding the engagement of Whiterock Affiliates LLC
to provide consulting and advisory services to International Wire Group, Inc.
with respect to the development of its five year strategic plan.

We will provide consultation and advice to you and your team and participate in
the development of a five year strategic plan for IWG, including the development
of the following key elements:

          1.   Five year qualitative vision and financial objectives

          2.   Market landscape mapping and competitive profiles

          3.   Acquisition target profiles by segment and geographic location

          4.   Capital investment return benchmarks for acquisitions and other
               capital investments.

          5.   Search field mapping of acquisition, greenfield and joint venture
               opportunities by type and geographic location

          6.   Organizational development needs in order to execute the
               strategic plan

We also will provide you with assistance and support in developing a transition
plan in connection with the move of IWG's headquarter functions from St. Louis
to Camden.

It is envisioned that a close team of you, Donald McKay, and other executives of
IWG would work with David Robbins of GSC and me to develop the Strategic Plan
over the next four months with a target completion date of March 1, 2005. A
subsequent

<PAGE>

presentation of the Plan to the Board of Directors would be targeted for March,
2005 or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

Our first meeting is schedule for November 30 and December 1 in Camden to meet
with your European management team and solicit their views on strategic options
for IWG Europe. In the meantime, I have begun discussions with GSC Partners and
Tennenbaum Capital partners in order to gather their views on financial
objectives and capital investment benchmarks. I also have offered, subject to
your concurrence, to meet with Doug Johnston in Syracuse on December 1.

It is anticipated that Whiterock would devote approximately eight days per month
of consulting time to assist you in developing the Strategic Plan. In
consideration for its services, Whiterock would be compensated a flat fee of
$50,000, payable in the amount of $12,500 on the first of December, 2004, and
the first of January, February and March 2005. Whiterock would also be
reimbursed for its reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in connection
with this project.

preferred paths when substantial delays are identified and multiple paths forward are identified.
Understanding that it takes time for information to flow up the chain of command, the Project
Manager will inform Gen-Probe of delays and progress on resolution as soon as it becomes available
to him; and

               (i) It is understood that both companies hold proprietary trade secret know-how and processes
regarding their respective technologies that are not necessarily shared as part of this Agreement.
On occasion it may occur that a full understanding of difficulties in the progress of development
may require a detailed understanding of this proprietary know-how and processes. Each Party will
endeavor to appraise the other of the outcomes and consequences of these difficulties, while
protecting the confidentiality of the information.

          2.4.4 Project Leaders. Gen-Probe and Chiron will each appoint a project leader (each
a “Project Leader”) who is responsible for (a) assembling project teams for his or her respective
Party and (b) completing project responsibilities allocated to such Party in Section 2.5. For the
purposes of completing the eSAS 2 Development Program, these Project Leaders will report to the
Project Manager. The Project Leader employed by a Party shall be responsible for reporting to the
employing Party whether he or she believes the other Party has proceeded diligently with its stated
obligations under the eSAS 2 Development Program, has allocated sufficient personnel, equipment,
facilities and other resources to achieve the objectives of the eSAS 2 Development Program and has
exercised Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve its objectives efficiently and expeditiously.

          2.4.5 Reports. In addition to the records and reports required to be kept by the
Parties under Section 3.5 of the Agreement, each Project Leader will provide to the Project
Manager, in writing, a progress report delivered on or before the 15th day of each calendar month
during the term of the eSAS 2 Development Program. These reports will cover technical progress as
well as financial expenditures. The Project Manager may rely on any such reports for the purpose
of making his or her progress report to the Supervisory Board described in Section 2.4.6 below.

          2.4.6 Meetings of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board shall meet from time to
time during the term of this eSAS 2 Addendum, but not less frequently than once each calendar
quarter during the term hereof. Not less frequently than quarterly, a regular agenda item at the
regularly scheduled Supervisory Board meeting shall be to receive a report from the Project Manager
and conduct a review of the eSAS 2 Development
Program to assess progress of the development and the potential for commercialization of the
eSAS 2 Instrument.

     2.5 Development Responsibilities.

          2.5.1 Principal Responsibility; General Statement. The Parties’ intention is the smooth and
efficient conduct of development, and the Parties desire by this Section 2.5 to provide guiding
principles by which the responsible Party may make day-to-day decisions and by which the approval
process more particularly described in Section 3 below shall be governed. The Parties intend that
the eSAS 2 Instrument development will be conducted primarily and principally by [...***...] with
consultation and discussion from [...***...], under the supervision of the Project Manager, as
follows: (i) [...***...] will have principal responsibility under this eSAS 2 Addendum for the
[...***...] of the eSAS 2 Instrument, [...***...] and [...***...] for [...***...] and
[...***...],[...***...] with [...***...] for [...***...] and [...***...] of the eSAS 2 Instruments,
[...***...] of [...***...] and [...***...] of [...***...], and [...***...] of [...***...] and
[...***...], and (ii) [...***...] will assist in the development and approval of [...***...] of
each instrument, provide [...***...] to its [...***...] (meaning [...***...] from the [...***...]
and [...***...] as applicable) to facilitate development of a [...***...], provide [...***...] to
its [...***...],

provide [...***...] including [...***...] to [...***...] required for the
development under the confidentiality terms of the Agreement, and will have principal
responsibility under this eSAS 2 Addendum for the [...***...] of the [...***...] and [...***...],
for the development of the [...***...] for [...***...] specifically related to the [...***...] and
[...***...], and for the formulation of the [...***...] for [...***...] and for each [...***...]
with [...***...] to the [...***...] for [...***...]. The Parties shall jointly agree upon all
validation activities and software development per PRD and SRS. The Party to whom principal
responsibility is allocated in this Section 2.5 has the power to make day-to-day decisions
regarding matters within the area of such responsibility, consistent with the overall eSAS 2
Development Program. The Parties’ obligations with respect to certain warehousing and shipping are
subject to Amendment No. 3.

          2.5.2 Regulatory/Licensure. Gen-Probe and Chiron have entered into that certain
Definitive Written Settlement Agreement, dated December 5, 2001. Section 2(a) of the Definitive
Written Settlement Agreement incorporates by reference the provisions of the Short Form Agreement
(attached as Exhibit A to the Definitive Written Settlement Agreement). The Parties hereby
expressly incorporate the provisions of Section F.6 of the Short Form Agreement between the
Parties, dated November 16, 2001, into this eSAS 2 Addendum, as amended by the memorandum from
[...***...] to [...***...] setting forth the parties’ agreed upon regulatory strategy, attached
hereto as Schedule 2.5.2. Pursuant and subject to Section F.6 of the Short Form Agreement, as
amended by Schedule 2.5.2, Gen-Probe agrees to use its best efforts to (i) regularly review blood
screening regulatory/licensure strategy and management of regulatory submissions with Chiron, (ii)
provide draft copies of all written regulatory submissions to Chiron at least five working days
prior to the proposed date of their submission, (iii) make available the appropriate personnel for
a discussion of any advice or recommendations of Chiron on any regulatory submissions and (iv)
reasonably consider such advice or recommendations, but Gen-Probe is not required to accept such
advice and recommendations; in each case as reasonably attainable by Gen-Probe. All disagreements
on regulatory/licensure issues shall be addressed by the Supervisory Board and, if necessary, by
implementation of the escalation procedure described in Article 13 of the Agreement, excluding
arbitration. For issues that cannot be resolved through such procedures, Gen-Probe’s Chief
Executive Officer shall have the right to make a final decision. Gen-Probe shall have no
obligation under this eSAS 2 Addendum to apply for or endeavor to obtain regulatory approval for any eSAS 2 Instrument
(or any module within the eSAS 2 Instrument system) that fails to meets the criteria set forth in
the applicable PRD and SRS. Costs of all regulatory and licensing activities (including Gen-Probe
internal eSAS 2 Development Costs) will be included in the eSAS 2 Development Costs and paid for by
Chiron.

          2.5.3 Project Leader Disagreements. It is recognized that the Project Leaders may
disagree on approaches. Even though one Party has the principal responsibility for development in
the functional area described in Section 2.5, disagreements that cannot be resolved by Project
Management may be brought to the Supervisory Board. However, work will proceed in accordance with
the choice of the principally responsible Party, while being discussed at the Supervisory Board.
In the event that the Parties do not agree at the Supervisory Board level, the Party with principal
responsibility may continue to proceed per their best judgment. If a disagreement arises in a
functional area for which responsibility is shared and resolution cannot be achieved at the
Supervisory Board, except as to Regulatory/Licensure Strategy that shall be governed by Section
2.5.2 above, work shall be suspended in such functional area until a resolution is reached through
Article 13 of the Agreement, including arbitration.

3. Modifications.

     3.1 eSAS 2 Development Program Definition.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

          3.1.1 [...***...] Modules. The Parties have prepared and agreed upon an eSAS 2
Development Program, as described in the Binder, for [...***...] modules in the eSAS2 Instrument
system, and will need to prepare and agree upon an eSAS 2 Development Program for the remaining
[...***...] modules in the eSAS2 Instrument system. The eSAS 2 Development Program, as described
in the Binder with respect to [...***...] modules and as prepared and agreed upon with respect to
the remaining [...***...] modules, will govern the rights and responsibilities of the Parties until
changed in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Parties recognize and anticipate that
additional clarification and refinement of the eSAS 2 Development Program, including changes, if
any, necessary to reflect accepted delays in, or increases in costs of, development, will be
required as development proceeds. The Parties intend that this eSAS 2 Addendum establish a process
by which the Parties will amend the eSAS 2 Development Program, in accordance with the terms
described in this Section 3.

          3.1.2 [...***...] Modules. Either Party may propose an eSAS 2 Development
Program for each of the remaining [...***...] modules in the eSAS2 Instrument system. Each such
proposal shall describe (i) the Product Requirements Documents, (ii) the Software Requirements
Specifications, (iii) the Technical Plan, (iv) the Resource Plan included within the Technical
Plan, and (v) the Budget for the development of one module in the eSAS 2 Instrument system. The
Project Manager, and under his or her supervision, the Project Leaders and their respective teams,
will review each such proposed eSAS 2 Development Program. Upon agreement between the Project
Leaders, then such approved eSAS 2 Development Program shall be included within the Binder. If the
Project Leaders are unable to agree upon a proposed eSAS 2 Development Program, then the
Supervisory Board shall review the proposed eSAS 2 Development Program and make a determination
with respect to whether such proposed eSAS 2 Development Program shall be approved by the parties.
If the Supervisory Board has met and consulted without resolution, then the parties shall implement
the escalation procedure described in Article 13 of the Agreement to resolve such impasse.

     3.2
Modifications.

          3.2.1
Request for Modifications.

               (a) Either party may propose either Material or Non-material Modifications to any part of the
eSAS 2 Development Program, including the Product Requirements Document (and the Software
Requirements Specifications that form part thereof), the Resource Plan (and the Technical Plan that
forms part thereof), and the Budget, and including without limitation a request for a change to the
FTE Labor Rate, as defined in Section 5.2.1, from time to time, as follows:

                    (i) Chiron may propose and implement such Modifications from time to time in its sole
discretion. However, unless Gen-Probe shall have approved a Material Modification using the
process more particularly set forth in this Section 3, Chiron shall have no right to reimbursement
of Development Costs for such Material Modification and Gen-Probe shall have no obligation to
pursue regulatory approval or otherwise pursue development efforts with respect thereto.

                    (ii) Gen-Probe may propose such Modifications from time to time. The process applicable to
approval and implementation of any such proposed modifications shall be as described in this
Section 3.

               (b) Changes, modifications or improvements to the eSAS 2 Instrument, after the Completion Date,
are governed by the provisions of Section 4 below.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

9

 

               (c) The Project Manager, and under his or her supervision, the Project Leaders and their
respective teams, will review any proposed modification to the eSAS 2 Development Program; if the
two Project Leaders mutually agree that a particular modification is a Material Modification or is
a Non-material Modification, then such determination shall be conclusive. If the Project Leaders
are unable to agree whether a particular requested modification is a Material or Non-material
Modification, then the Supervisory Board shall review the requested change and make a determination
with respect to whether such requested modification is a Material or Non-material Modification. If
the Supervisory Board has met and consulted without resolution, then either Party may, in its
discretion, determine that the Parties have reached an impasse with respect thereto and implement
the escalation procedure described in Article 13 of the Agreement to resolve such impasse.

               (d) If the two Project Leaders mutually agree that a particular modification is a Non-material
Modification and both Project Leaders mutually agree to implement such Non-material Modification,
no additional approval shall be needed from the parties to implement such Non-material
Modification.

          3.2.2 Monthly Progress Reports. Unless changes to the specifications described in
Section 3.2.1 constitute a Material Modification, any Non-Material Modifications shall be reported
in the monthly summary progress reports pursuant to Section 2.4.4 and shall not be subject to the
approval process described in Section 3.3.

     3.3 Material Modifications.

          3.3.1 Request for Material Modifications. In the event that one Party desires to
request a Material Modification to the
eSAS 2 Development Program from time to time during the term hereof, such Party (the
“requesting party”) shall submit to the other Party such request in writing, in sufficient detail
to enable the other Party (the “receiving party”) to evaluate the request. Without limiting the
foregoing, the requesting party shall prepare a revised draft version of the Budget, reflecting any
changes necessary to fully implement the requested Material Modification to the eSAS 2 Development
Program.

          3.3.2 Initial Analysis of Impact of Proposed Material Modification. Promptly upon
receipt of such request, but in any event not more than [...***...] thereafter, the Parties
shall conduct a preliminary analysis of the impact that the requested Material Modification would
have, including without limitation the impact any such proposed Material Modification would have on
the Budget and/or the PRD and/or SRS, and shall meet and conduct an analysis of the impact of such
Material Modification on the economics of marketing and sale of the eSAS 2 Instrument. Should
either Party conclude, in its reasonable discretion, that the potential for [...***...] is
[...***...] and [...***...] by any proposed change to the eSAS 2 Development Program requested in
accordance with this Section 3.3, the Party shall notify the other of such determination in
writing. In such event, Chiron may elect among one of the following three choices: (i) to
terminate participation in the eSAS 2 Development Program under the provisions of Section 8.3, (ii)
to implement the Material Modification without Gen-Probe’s approval under this Section 3, in which
event Chiron shall have no right to reimbursement of Development Costs for such Material
Modification and Gen-Probe shall have no obligation to pursue regulatory approval or otherwise
pursue development efforts with respect thereto, or (iii) to continue the eSAS 2 Development
Program unaffected without such Material Modification.

          3.3.3 Preparation of Modified eSAS 2 Development Program. Unless Chiron terminates the eSAS
2 Development Program under Section 8.3 below or elects to continue the eSAS 2

***Confidential Treatment Requested

10

 

Development Program
unaffected without such Material Modification under Section 3.3.2, promptly upon completion of the
review and analysis under Section 3.3.2, Chiron shall complete and deliver to Gen-Probe revisions
to the Product Requirements Document, Software Requirements Specification, Technical Plan, Resource
Plan or Budget, as applicable, responsive to the request. Costs incurred by Chiron to prepare such
response to the request shall be included in eSAS 2 Development Costs hereunder.

          3.3.4 Acceptance of Modified eSAS 2 Development Program.

               (a) Unless Chiron terminates the eSAS 2 Development Program under Section 8.3 below or elects
to continue the eSAS 2 Development Program unaffected without such Material Modification under
Section 3.3.2, the Parties shall promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after preparation by
Chiron of a modified eSAS 2 Development Program under Section 3.3.2 meet and consult with respect
to the proposed modified eSAS 2 Development Program. Without limiting the other bases on which it
shall be reasonable for Gen-Probe to withhold approval, it shall be reasonable for Gen-Probe to
withhold approval of any Modification that could result in a material degradation in assay
sensitivity or specificity, or that affects Gen-Probe’s effort or contribution of resources or the
amount of costs for which Gen-Probe is entitled to be reimbursed by Chiron. Subject to the
unconditional rights of Gen-Probe under Section 3.2.1(a) above to preclude Chiron from
reimbursement for Material Modifications and to withhold participation in the regulatory approval
process, it shall be unreasonable to withhold
approval of any request for modification made (i) to reflect actual eSAS 2 Development Costs
incurred (or not incurred) to the date of such proposed modification that (A) with respect to the
eSAS 2 Instrument taken as a whole, when aggregated with all previously authorized modifications,
falls within [...***...] percent ([...***...]%) of the original Budget approved and in effect as of
the date this eSAS 2 Addendum was executed by the Parties, or (B) with respect to any discreet
component, when aggregated with all previous authorized modifications for such component, falls
within [...***...] percent ([...***...]%) of the original portion of the Budget for such component
approved and in effect as of the date this eSAS 2 Addendum was executed by the Parties, or (ii) to
reflect actual changes to the Timeline incurred to the date of such proposed modification which do
not impact the Budget in excess of the foregoing thresholds.

               (b) Each Party shall, upon completion of the consultation and review under paragraph (a),
deliver to the other Party either a written acceptance of the proposed modified eSAS 2 Development
Program or a detailed written statement specifying the basis for rejection. The requesting party
may, in response to a rejection, revise the proposed modified eSAS 2 Development Program to reflect
the discussions of the Parties, and redeliver the revised proposed modified eSAS 2 Development
Program for further review, until the Parties agree upon the Material Modification. Either Party
may, in its discretion and with notice to the other Party, determine that the Parties have reached
an impasse with respect to any proposed material modification and deliver the request to the
Supervisory Board for determination.

               (c) If a Party delivers the request to the Supervisory Board for determination, the
Supervisory Board shall promptly, but not later than the later of (i) thirty (30) days after
receipt of a requested modified eSAS 2 Development Program, or (ii) the next regularly scheduled
Supervisory Board meeting, meet and discuss the proposed Material Modification to eSAS 2
Development Program.

               (d) If the Supervisory Board has met and consulted without resolution, then either Party may, in
its discretion, determine that the Parties have reached an impasse with respect to any proposed
modification and implement the escalation procedure described in Article 13 of the Agreement

***Confidential Treatment Requested

11

 

to
resolve such impasse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this eSAS 2 Addendum or the
Agreement, all Material Modifications, whether agreed or determined through arbitration, shall be
finally determined and documented in accordance with this Section 3.3.

          3.3.5 Effective Date of Modified eSAS 2 Development Program. At such time as the
Parties (or, if applicable, the Supervisory Board) shall have accepted a modified eSAS 2
Development Program incorporating a Material Modification, or any portion thereof, the Parties
shall evidence such agreement by initialing the revised Product Requirements Document, Software
Requirements Specification, Technical Plan, Resource Plan or Budget, as applicable. The eSAS 2
Development Program as so modified and approved shall constitute the eSAS 2 Development Program
hereunder and be incorporated by reference into this eSAS 2 Addendum, and shall supersede the
preceding eSAS 2 Development Program, or applicable portions thereof, for all purposes. In order
to evidence their agreement to the revised eSAS 2 Development Program, the Parties shall include it
in an additional volume of the Binder, labeled “Amendments to eSAS 2 Development Program,” in which
all amendments and modifications to the eSAS 2 Development Program will be kept.

     3.4 Notice of Significant Changes. Each Party will give three (3) calendar months
notice to the other Party prior to any proposal of a
significant reduction or increase in resources from the then-current Resource Plan in order to
allow the Parties time to divert resources either to or from the eSAS 2 Development Program. Any
significant changes to the Budget or the Resource Plan shall be effective only upon the expiration
of three (3) months from the delivery of such notice, unless the Parties both agree to a shorter
period of time in writing.

4. Changes to eSAS 2 Instrument after Completion Date. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 3, the Parties recognize that, after the eSAS 2 Instrument development is completed, the
market may demand or regulatory changes may require that special enhancements or modifications be
made to the eSAS 2 Instrument, and that either Party may desire to adopt such changes. Any such
enhancements or modifications shall be governed by Section 3.3 of the Agreement.

5. eSAS 2 Development Costs.

     5.1 [ *** ] to pay Development Costs. [...***...] is responsible for and agrees
to pay the [...***...] eSAS 2 Development Costs, as defined in and subject to Section 5.2 below.
Such costs shall be payable as described in Section 5.3 herein. The Budget has been prepared for
the purpose of permitting [...***...] to plan for eSAS 2 Development Program expenditures related
to eSAS 2 Development Costs hereunder and represents the Parties’ best estimate of such eSAS 2
Development Costs, but does not represent a “fixed price maximum” or other guaranteed maximum cost
of the development required for the eSAS 2 Development Program.

     5.2 Definition and Calculation of eSAS 2 Development Costs. “eSAS 2 Development Cost”
with respect to the eSAS 2 Development Program means the fully-burdened cost of conducting the
research and development (including domestic and international regulatory and licensing activities)
of the eSAS 2 Instrument, and shall include the [...***...] of [...***...] that are [...***...] for
the [...***...] and [...***...] of such quantities of the eSAS 2 Instrument [...***...] the
[...***...]. Costs will be calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied (“U.S. GAAP”), or as otherwise mutually agreed in
writing between the Parties.

          5.2.1 eSAS 2 Development Costs; FTE Labor Rate.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

12

 

               (a) In lieu of accounting specifically for and receiving direct reimbursement for certain eSAS
2 Development Costs, the Parties have agreed to include reimbursement for those certain categories
of eSAS 2 Development Costs within an agreed-upon labor rate for full time equivalent personnel
(the “FTE Labor Rate”). Each party will calculate its own FTE Labor Rate. Those categories of
“eSAS 2 Development Costs” included within the FTE Labor Rate are those costs more particularly
described on Schedule 5.2.1a, in paragraph 2 entitled “eSAS 2 Development Costs included
within FTE Labor Rate”. Neither Party shall be reimbursed separately for eSAS 2 Development Costs
included within FTE Labor Rate. Those categories of “eSAS 2 Development Costs” not included within
the FTE Labor Rate are those costs more particularly described on Schedule 5.2.1a, in
paragraph 3 entitled “eSAS 2 Development Costs not included within FTE Labor Rate”. Each Party
shall be reimbursed separately for eSAS 2 Development Costs not included within FTE Labor Rate.

                    (i) The FTE Labor Rate in effect as of the Addendum Effective Date is set forth in paragraph 1
on the attached Schedule 5.2.1a, and is included in the Resource Plan and reflected in the
Budget. Either Party shall have the right to request a change in the FTE Labor Rate reflected on
the attached Schedule 5.2.1a on a prospective basis under the approval process set forth in
Section 3. In the event aggregate actual eSAS 2 Development Costs incurred by a Party during any
calendar year that are reimbursed through the FTE Labor Rate exceeded, or fell short of, the agreed
FTE Labor Rate reflected in the Budget for such calendar year, either Party may seek a request for
modification of the eSAS 2 Development Program to reflect such actual costs. Acceptance of such
request for modification shall be governed by Section 3.3.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
throughout the term of this eSAS 2 Addendum, in the event either Party requests a modification to
the FTE Labor Rate hereunder, the modified FTE Labor Rate shall be calculated using the same
methodology as that used to calculate the FTE Labor Rate in effect as of the Addendum Effective
Date. The methodology used to calculate the FTE Labor Rate in effect as of the Addendum Effective
Date is described on the attached Schedule 5.2.1b, entitled “FTE Labor Rate Analysis”.

          5.2.2 Comparison with Resource Plan. The planned resources, and the associated costs,
will be broken out on a monthly basis and analyzed against the Resource Plan included within the
Technical Plan, and reflected in the Budget.

     5.3 Payment of eSAS 2 Development Costs. In addition to the provisions of Article 7
of the Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

          5.3.1 Accrued eSAS 2 Development Costs. Each Party has already incurred, prior to the
date of execution of this eSAS 2 Addendum, certain eSAS 2 Development Costs. [...***...] shall
reimburse [...***...] for its eSAS 2 Development Costs incurred prior to and until the date of
execution of this eSAS 2 Addendum. Attached to this eSAS 2 Addendum as Schedule 5.3.1 is a
summary of the eSAS 2 Development Costs incurred by the Parties prior to the execution of this eSAS
2 Addendum.

          5.3.2 Monthly Notices; Payments. At the end of each month, each Party shall calculate
its actual expenditures and FTE Labor amounts for eSAS 2 Development Costs it incurred during such
month and shall promptly provide to the other Party a reasonably detailed written breakdown of such
costs. [...***...] shall invoice [...***...] for the amount of such costs incurred by [...***...]
during such month under Section 5.3.3 below.

          5.3.3 Invoices. [...***...] will invoice [...***...] for the amounts described in this
Section 5.3 and all invoices will be due and payable thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.
In the event payment is not received within such period, Chiron shall pay a service charge equal
to the amount

***Confidential Treatment Requested

13

 

overdue multiplied by the LIBOR in effect on the first day of such calendar month,
but not exceeding the maximum allowable rate.

     5.4 Reimbursement of eSAS 2 Development Costs. Chiron will be entitled to
reimbursement, if at all, of eSAS 2 Development Costs solely from revenues from the eSAS 2
Instrument, as more particularly described in Section 3.3.6 of the Agreement as amended by Section
6.3 of this Addendum.

6. Manufacturing and Commercialization.

     6.1 eSAS 2 Instrument Manufacturing Costs.

          6.1.1 The “Fully-Burdened Manufacturing Costs” of the eSAS 2 Instrument for purposes of this
eSAS 2 Addendum (including revised Section 3.3.6 of the Agreement) shall mean [...***...] percent
([...***...] %) of the reasonable Third Party OEM invoice cost of the eSAS 2 Instrument (including
freight, taxes, etc.,). The foregoing amount shall be used in lieu of the actual internal costs
incurred or allocated to the purchase for QA, purchasing, receiving and warehousing, etc.

          6.1.2 Gen-Probe is entitled to review, evaluate, and in its discretion independently verify
the basis of Chiron’s Fully-Burdened Manufacturing Cost using an independent Third Party, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3 of the Agreement.

     6.2 Rights to Manufacture and Sell.

          6.2.1 Blood Screening Field. Notwithstanding Section 3.3.3 of the Agreement, Chiron
shall have the exclusive right and obligation during the eSAS 2 Addendum Term to manufacture (and
have manufactured) the eSAS 2 Instruments to satisfy Chiron’s requirements of eSAS 2 Instruments in
the Territory for use in the Blood Screening Field. If Chiron elects to subcontract the
manufacture of the eSAS2 Instrument, then Chiron shall comply with the requirements of Section
3.3.3(d) of the Agreement. Gen-Probe agrees to comply with the obligation to provide reasonable
technical assistance, at Chiron’s sole cost, as necessary or appropriate to enable Chiron to
fulfill its obligation and exercise the right to manufacture (or have manufactured) the eSAS 2
Instrument for use in the Blood Screening Field, including delivering specifications and other
know-how to Chiron and causing responsive Gen-Probe personnel that possess such know-how to be
available to Chiron, in each case as reasonably necessary to enable Chiron to exercise the rights
granted and fulfill its obligations hereunder. Chiron shall have the exclusive distribution right
in the Territory to promote, market and sell the eSAS 2 Instrument to conduct Blood Screening
Assays in the Blood Screening Field, as set forth in Section 3.3.4 of the Agreement. Nothing in
this eSAS 2 Addendum shall affect Gen-Probe’s obligations to Chiron under the Agreement with
respect to the manufacture and supply of existing Blood Screening Instruments or Chiron’s
obligations to Gen-Probe under the Agreement with respect to the commercialization of existing
Blood Screening Instruments.

          6.2.2 Clinical Diagnostic Field. Notwithstanding Section 6.2.1 of this eSAS 2 Addendum or
Sections 3.3.4 or 4.4.3 of the Agreement, Gen-Probe shall have the exclusive right to manufacture
(and have manufactured) the eSAS 2 Instruments for use in the Clinical Diagnostic Field. Chiron
agrees to provide Gen-Probe such reasonable technical assistance, at Gen-Probe’s sole cost, as
necessary or appropriate to enable Gen-Probe to exercise the right to manufacture (or have
manufactured) the eSAS 2 Instrument for use in the Clinical Diagnostic Field, including without
limitation delivering manufacturing drawings, specifications and other know-how to Gen-Probe and
causing responsive Chiron personnel that possess such know-how to be available to Gen-Probe, in
each case as reasonably

***Confidential Treatment Requested

14

 

necessary to enable Gen-Probe to exercise the rights granted hereunder.
Notwithstanding Section 4.4.4 of the Agreement, Gen-Probe shall have the exclusive distribution
right in the Territory to promote, market and sell the eSAS 2 Instrument in the Clinical Diagnostic
Field to the extent, as of the Addendum Effective Date, that Chiron has the ability to grant such
rights to Gen-Probe.

          6.2.3 Right to Acquire All Rights to Manufacture and Commercialize. Gen-Probe shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire from Chiron the exclusive right to manufacture
and distribute the eSAS 2 Instrument in all fields at the expiration or sooner termination of the
eSAS 2 Addendum Term for any reason under Section 8 of this Addendum. Gen-Probe may exercise such
right by providing Chiron with written notice of election under this Section 6.2.3, together with
payment in an amount equal to the eSAS 2 Development Costs for which [...***...] is entitled to
reimbursement hereunder but for which [...***...] has not yet received reimbursement under Section
3.3.6(b) of the Agreement, as amended by Section 6.3 below. Gen-Probe may rely upon and base its
calculation of such amount upon the accounting [...***...] from time to time from [...***...] under
Section 3.3.6 of the Agreement, as amended by Section 6.3 below.

     6.3 Consideration on eSAS 2 Instrument Sales. In consideration for the rights granted
and obligations undertaken by the Parties in this eSAS 2 Addendum, the consideration received on
the sale, transfer or other disposition of the eSAS 2 Instrument will be governed by this Section
6.3. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3 of this eSAS 2 Addendum, Section 3.3.6 of the
Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows but solely with respect to
consideration on the sale, transfer or other disposition of the eSAS 2 Instrument.

     “3.3.6 Compensation for eSAS 2 Instruments. In consideration for the rights granted,
and the obligations accepted, by the Parties, each Party shall pay to the other the applicable
amounts described in this Section 3.3.6.

          a) Definitions.

               (i) Revenues from the eSAS 2 Instrument. As used in this Section 3.3.6
“revenues from the eSAS 2 Instrument” for a fiscal quarter shall mean all amounts received
by a Party or a Party’s Affiliates for the sale, transfer, placement, lease or other
disposition of the eSAS 2 Instruments during such fiscal quarter; provided, however, that:

                    (A) Revenues for Collaboration Combination Products. If an eSAS 2 Instrument
is sold in combination with one or more non-eSAS instruments or instrument components (a
“Collaboration Combination Product”) for a single price or on a single invoice to the
customer, the “revenues from the eSAS 2 Instrument” with respect to such Collaboration
Combination Product shall be calculated by multiplying the total amount received by a Party
or its Affiliates for such Collaboration Combination Product by the fraction A/B, where A is
gross selling price of the eSAS 2 Instrument sold separately and B is the gross single price
or aggregate prices on a single invoice to the customer for such Collaboration Combination
Product. Such calculation of the Collaboration Combination Product revenues shall be
negotiated in good faith between the Parties and resolved pursuant to Article 13 if they are
unable to agree.

                    (B) Revenues for Lease, Rental or Placement Programs. If the eSAS 2 Instrument
is not sold separately but rather is leased, placed or rented pursuant to a reagent/rental
program or comparable sale or lease program (including instrument upgrade/maintenance
programs) (each a “Program”) where the instrument revenue is included in

***Confidential Treatment Requested

15

 

such Program revenue, then the “revenues from the eSAS 2 Instrument” with respect to such
Program shall: (i) be [...***...] percent ([...***...] %) of the Fully Burdened
Manufacturing Costs [...***...] % until Chiron has been reimbursed for all eSAS 2
Development Costs, and [...***...] percent ([...***...] %) thereafter; based upon an
imputed instrument depreciation factor consistent with Chiron’s then-current accounting
policy that provides for a depreciation of at least three (3) years for each eSAS 2
Instrument.

                    (C) Nothing herein shall amend the manner in which the Agreement determines the
revenues for Combination Products where the eSAS 2 Instrument is sold in combination with
one or more Third Party products.

               (ii) As used in this Section 3.3.6:

                    (A) the “Chiron Blood Screening Split” used under Section 3.3.6(b) below with respect
to sales of the eSAS 2 Instrument in the Blood Screening Field shall be the remainder of (I)
[...***...] percent ([...***...] %) less (II) the Gen-Probe Blood Screening Split.

                    (B) the “Gen-Probe Blood Screening Split” used under Section 3.3.6(b) below with
respect to sales of the eSAS 2 Instrument in the Blood Screening Field shall be calculated,
for a given fiscal quarter, by taking the dollar weighted average of the Applicable Purchase
Price earned by Gen-Probe for all Blood Screening Assays sold as calculated under 1.2.1 and
1.2.3 of the Agreement during such fiscal quarter.

                    (C) the “Chiron Clinical Diagnostic Split” used under Section 3.3.6(c) below with
respect to sales of the eSAS 2 Instrument in the Clinical Diagnostic Field shall be equal to
the Gen-Probe Blood Screening Split.

                    (D) the “Gen-Probe Clinical Diagnostic Split” used under Section 3.3.6(c) below with
respect to sales of the eSAS 2 Instrument in the Clinical Diagnostic Field shall be equal to
the Chiron Blood Screening Split.

          b) Instrument Sales; Chiron Sales of eSAS 2 Instruments.

               (i) Until [...***...] has been reimbursed for all eSAS 2 Development Costs, within
forty-five (45) days following the end of each fiscal quarter Chiron shall (A) first,
calculate (and provide written notice to Gen-Probe of such calculation) the revenues from
eSAS 2 Instruments sold and received by Chiron or its Affiliates during such fiscal quarter;
(B) second, calculate (and provide written notice to Gen-Probe of such calculation)
[...***...] percent ([...***...]%) of the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs for the eSAS 2
Instruments sold in such fiscal quarter by Chiron and its Affiliates; (C) third, calculate
(and provide written notice to Gen-Probe of such calculation) and retain the lesser of (I)
revenues from eSAS 2 Instruments sold and received by Chiron and its Affiliates in such
fiscal quarter or (II) [...***...] percent ([...***...] %) of the Fully Burdened
Manufacturing Costs for the eSAS 2 Instruments sold in such fiscal quarter by Chiron and its
Affiliates; (D) fourth, apply and credit (and provide written notice to Gen-Probe of such
calculation) the difference between such retained amount and [...***...] percent
([...***...]%) of the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs for the eSAS 2 Instruments sold in
such fiscal quarter by Chiron and its Affiliates as reimbursement to Chiron of the eSAS 2
Development Costs; (E) fifth, calculate (and provide written notice to Gen-Probe of such

***Confidential Treatment Requested

calculation) and retain the Chiron Blood Screening Split, if any; and (F) sixth, pay to
Gen-Probe an amount equal to the Gen-Probe Blood Screening Split, if any.

               (ii) After [...***...] has been reimbursed for all eSAS 2 Development Costs under
subparagraph 3.3.6(b)(i) above, within forty-five (45) days following the end of each fiscal
quarter Chiron shall thereafter (A) first, calculate (and provide written notice to
Gen-Probe of such calculation) revenues from eSAS 2 Instruments sold and received by Chiron
and its Affiliates in such fiscal quarter; (B) second, calculate (and provide written notice
to Gen-Probe of such calculation) and retain [...***...] percent ([...***...] %) of the
Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs for the eSAS 2 Instruments sold in such fiscal quarter by
Chiron and its Affiliates; (C) third, calculate (and provide written notice to Gen-Probe of
such calculation) and retain the Chiron Blood Screening Split, if any; and (D) fourth, pay
to Gen-Probe an amount equal to the Gen-Probe Blood Screening Split, if any.

               (iii) If the eSAS 2 Instrument is not sold separately by Chiron but rather is leased,
placed or rented by Chiron pursuant to a Program (as defined in subsection 3.3.6(a)(i)(B)),
within forty-five (45) days following the end of each fiscal quarter Chiron shall calculate
(and (provide written notice to Gen-Probe of such calculation) and shall be entitled to
retain any and all revenues from the eSAS 2 Instruments sold, leased, placed or rented
pursuant to a Program and received by Chiron and its Affiliates in such fiscal quarter.

          c) Instrument Sales; Gen-Probe Sales of eSAS 2 Instruments.

               (i) Within forty-five (45) days following the end of each fiscal quarter Gen-Probe
sells eSAS 2 instruments Gen-Probe shall (A) first, calculate (and provide written notice to
Chiron of such calculation) the revenues for the eSAS 2 Instruments received by Gen-Probe
and its Affiliates during such fiscal quarter from the sale, transfer, placement, lease or

          d) Service Revenues. Each Party is entitled to retain the aggregate
commercially reasonable revenues received by such Party and its Affiliates in consideration
for required maintenance and servicing of the eSAS 2 Instruments consistent with standard
industry practices; provided, however that the revenues retained may not exceed [...***...]
percent ([...***...] %) of the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs of the eSAS 2 Instruments
per year; provided however that in the event that the revenues exceed [...***...] percent
([...***...]%) of the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs of the eSAS 2 Instruments in any
given year, such excess shall be shared by Gen-Probe and Chiron such that, for maintenance
and service revenues of eSAS 2 Instruments used in the Blood Screening Field, the parties
shall receive such amount equal to their respective Blood Screening Splits, and for
maintenance and service revenues of eSAS2 Instruments used in the Clinical Diagnostic Field,
the parties shall receive such amount equal to their respective Clinical Diagnostic Splits.

     6.4 Authorization Letter. Chiron will allow Gen-Probe to directly access OEM suppliers of

8. Addendum Effective Date; Term; Termination.

     8.1 Term of eSAS 2 Addendum. This eSAS 2 Addendum shall become effective on the
Addendum Effective Date and shall continue in effect through the Blood Screening Term, as it may be
amended or extended from time to time, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions
hereof. Termination of this eSAS 2 Addendum shall be governed by the terms of this Section 8 and
termination of the Agreement is governed by Section 11 of the Agreement.

     8.2 Termination for Breach.

          8.2.1 Default. Either Party (the “nondefaulting party”) has the right, upon written
notice to the other Party (the “defaulting party”), to terminate the eSAS 2 Development Program,
upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default and the expiration of any applicable
period of time for cure:

               (a) if a Party fails to make a payment required under Sections 5.3.1 or 5.3.3 hereunder;

               (b) if a Party invoices for amounts using expenditures not falling within the definition of
eSAS 2 Development Costs or not included within the Budget.

               (c) if a Party fails to exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commit the resources
described in the eSAS 2 Development Program or to exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts achieve
the objectives of the eSAS 2 Development Program; provided, however, that the failure to
successfully complete the development of the eSAS 2 Instrument, or to complete the development of
the eSAS 2 Instrument on the Timeline set forth in the Technical Plan or for the amounts described
in the Budget or to the specifications set forth in the PRD or the SRS shall not be deemed to be a
breach of this eSAS 2 Addendum; and

               (d) if a Party defaults under the Agreement or this eSAS 2 Addendum which default results in
the termination of the Agreement of this eSAS 2 Addendum.

          8.2.2 Right to Cure Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default
entitling a Party to terminate this eSAS 2 Addendum, the non-defaulting party shall send to the
defaulting party notice of event of default, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the
default. The defaulting party will have thirty (30) days following the date of receipt of such
notice within which to cure the breach or event of default. Failure to cure the default within
such time period will result in termination of the eSAS 2 Development Program without further
notice by the non-defaulting party, unless such non-defaulting party extends the cure period by
written notice or withdraws the default notice. (The expiration of the period for such right to
cure without cure, extension or withdrawal of the default notice is referred to as the
“effective date of termination”.)

          8.2.3 Effect of Termination for Breach. Upon a termination of this eSAS 2 Addendum
for default under this Section 8.2:

               (a) Subject to the rights of the Parties under Section 9.3, the eSAS 2 Development Program shall
be terminated.

9. Escalation.

     9.1 Escalation Process. Prior to implementing the arbitration process more
particularly described in Article 13 of the Agreement, the Parties agree to escalate any dispute
first to a discussion between responsible managers, and if they cannot agree, then to the
Supervisory Board. However the Parties explicitly acknowledge that in the event of the need for an
urgent decision the Party with primary responsibility will proceed to make the decision, and
implement. It is agreed that the Party with primary responsibility will make all reasonable and
timely efforts to inform the other Party of the issue requiring decision, particularly where the
issue is one of some consequence.

     9.2 Remedies in Event of Default. Neither Party shall be entitled to exercise any remedy
otherwise available to it at law or in equity unless and until such Party shall have provided the
other Party with notice of such event of default, reasonably specifying the nature of the default,
and any applicable period of time for cure thereof shall have expired without cure, and the
procedures defined in Article 13 of the Agreement shall have been first exhausted.
