(a) From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Purchaser and its successors or assigns, all of the rights, titles and interests intended to be conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement and the Transfer Documents and to assure fully to Seller and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement and the Transfer Documents, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Purchased Asset, including any Contract, Permit, certificate, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or a Governmental Body or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. With respect to Material Contracts or Permits that are material for the Business as a going concern after the Closing Date, Seller shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser at its request for up to 180 days following the Closing Date in endeavoring to obtain such consents promptly; provided, however, that such efforts shall not require Seller or any of its Affiliates to incur any expenses or Liabilities or provide any financial accommodation or to remain secondarily or contingently liable for any Assumed Liability to obtain any such consent. Purchaser and Seller shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate all Liabilities under any and all Purchased Contracts or other Liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of Seller and its Affiliates so that, in any such case, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such Liabilities. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, in the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by Seller in trust for Purchaser and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Purchaser in Seller’s name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Purchaser’s account. Seller shall take or cause to be taken at Purchaser’s expense such actions in its name or otherwise as Purchaser may reasonably request so as to provide Purchaser with the benefits of the Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Seller shall promptly pay over to Purchaser all money or other consideration received by it in respect of all Nonassignable Assets. As of and from the Closing Date, Seller authorizes Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Purchaser’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller or its Affiliates under the Nonassignable Assets and appoint Purchaser their attorney-in-fact to act in its name on its behalf or in the name of the applicable Affiliate of Seller and on such Affiliate’s behalf with respect thereto, and Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all Liabilities and Losses based upon, arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s performance of, or failure to perform, such obligations under the Nonassignable Assets.

2.6 Bulk Sales Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Seller with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser.

2.7 Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall allocate the Total Consideration as specified in Schedule 2.7 and, in accordance with such allocation, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser copies of Form 8594 and any required exhibits thereto (the “Asset Acquisition Statement”). The Total Consideration for the Purchased Assets shall be allocated in accordance with the Asset Acquisition Statement provided by Seller to Purchaser, and all income Tax Returns and reports filed by Purchaser and Seller shall be prepared consistently with such allocation. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall, nor shall they permit their respective Affiliates to, take any position on any Tax Return, before any Taxing Authority, or in any proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with the terms of the Asset Acquisition Statement.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION

3.1 Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets shall be (a) an amount in cash equal to Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($13,500,000) (the “Purchase Price”), and (b) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (together with the Purchase Price, the “Total Consideration”).

3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

3.3 Purchase Price Adjustment for Inventory Value.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price was calculated based upon the aggregate value of the Inventory as of June 30, 2012, which was $762,116.00 (the “Aggregate Established Value”). The Aggregate Established Value is comprised of the following components:

Component		Established Value

“Raw Material – All Other Inventory”	-	$426,450
“Work in Process Inventory”	-	$ 80,237
“Finished Goods Inventory”	-	$255,429

For the avoidance of doubt, the Inventory included in determining the Aggregate Established Value does not include the Initial Antibody Supply.

(b) Within three (3) Business Days before Closing, Seller and Purchaser will jointly conduct a physical count of each component of the Inventory as of the Closing Date, consistent with Seller’s customary past practices. The parties shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes of the quantity of Inventory determined by the physical count within 15 Business Days following the Closing.

(c) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after the physical count has been completed, Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a written statement (“Closing Statement”) setting forth Seller’s calculation of the value of the Inventory as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Inventory Value”). Inventory will be valued at the lower of cost or market on a first in first out basis consistent with Seller’s past practices and on the same basis as Inventory was valued for purposes of determining the Aggregate Established Value. If Purchaser disagrees with Seller’s calculation of Closing Inventory Value, Purchaser may, within 15 days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Seller disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of such amount. Any such Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which Purchaser disagrees, and Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Inventory Value delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.3(c). If Purchaser does not deliver an Objection Notice within such 15 day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with the calculation of Closing Inventory Value set forth in the Closing Statement and such amount shall be deemed final for purposes of Section 3.3(d). If an Objection Notice shall have been timely and duly delivered by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.3(c), Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 15 days following such delivery, in good faith use their reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the amount of Closing Inventory Value. If during such period, Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach such agreement, then they shall promptly thereafter cause ParenteBeard (the “Accounting Referee”) to review and determine only the disputed items or amounts set forth in the Objection Notice for the purposes of calculating Closing Inventory Value. In making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts set forth in the Objection Notice and Seller’s calculation of such items in the Closing Statement Closing Inventory Value. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable, but in no case later than 30 days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee, a report setting forth such calculation (which calculation shall not be higher than Seller’s determination in the Closing Statement or lower than Purchaser’s determination in the Objection Notice). Such report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller. The cost of such report shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in the same proportion that the dollar amount of the disputed items or amounts which are not resolved in favor of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, bears to the total dollar amount of items or amounts in dispute and resolved by the Accounting Referee. Purchaser and Seller shall each bear all of its other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 3.3(c). Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Inventory Value and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 3.3(c), including, without limitation, the making available to the extent necessary of the Books and Records of the Business.

(d) If (i) the Closing Inventory Value does not vary from the Aggregate Established Value by more than ten percent (10%), no adjustment shall be made to the Purchase Price, (ii) the Closing Inventory Value exceeds the Aggregate Established Value by more than ten percent (10%), then Purchaser shall pay Seller the amount of such excess, and if (iii) the Aggregate Established Value exceeds the Closing Inventory Value by more than ten percent (10%), then Seller shall pay Purchaser the amount of such excess, in each case, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price and in the manner set forth herein. For purposes of the foregoing determination, “Closing Inventory Value” shall mean (x) Closing Inventory Value as shown in Seller’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(c) if no Objection Notice is timely delivered by Purchaser, (y) Closing Inventory Value as agreed by Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or (z) in the absence of such agreement, Closing Inventory Value as shown in the Accounting Referee’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(c). Any payment required to be made by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) shall be made within 3 Business Days after the Closing Inventory Value has been finally determined in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be.

3.4 Alternative Payment Option. If, in accordance with Section 4.1, this Section 3.4 becomes effective, then a certain amount, as set forth on and in accordance with Annex 1, of the Purchase Price shall be paid into escrow by Purchaser, and the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser directly to Seller pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be reduced by such amount placed into escrow (the “Escrow Amount”). Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, if necessary, the parties shall act in good faith to select an escrow agent and to negotiate an escrow agreement to govern the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to this Alternative Payment Option, in the event that this Section 3.4 is triggered by Section 4.1; provided, however, that (1) such escrow agreement shall provide for (x) the prompt release of the applicable amounts held in escrow upon receipt by Seller of each respective consent (in such amounts as set forth on Annex 1) upon delivery by Seller of notice to Purchaser and the escrow agent of a notice certifying that an applicable consent has been received (with such consent attached to the notice delivered to the Purchaser) and (y) the release of escrow funds upon joint written consent of the parties, (2) the escrow agent shall be a bank of national reputation and (3) the fees of the escrow agent shall be paid one half by Seller and one half by Buyer. Furthermore, if each applicable consent is not received by April 30, 2013, then (i) applicable amounts in respect of each consent not received shall be released from escrow to Purchaser and (ii) the contract in respect of which consent was being sought shall no longer be deemed to be a Purchased Contract for all purposes hereunder. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall work in good faith to confer the benefits of those agreements listed on Schedule 4.2(a)(ix) to Buyer in the event that Seller does not obtain the consents under Section 4.2(a)(ix) prior to April 30, 2013.

ARTICLE IV

Purchaser and Seller each acknowledge that the information provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information relating solely to the Business or otherwise included in the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges that any and all other Confidential Information provided to it by Seller or its representatives concerning Seller shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing Date and Seller acknowledges that any and all Confidential Information relating to the Business, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities so provided shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing Date.

7.3 Publicity.

(a) Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other party hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the sole judgment of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Purchaser or Seller lists securities, provided that, to the extent required by applicable Law, the party intending to make such release shall use its reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law to consult with the other party with respect to the timing and content thereof.

(b) The terms of this Agreement shall not be disclosed or otherwise made available to the public and copies of this Agreement shall not be publicly filed or otherwise made available to the public, except where such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law and only to the extent required by such Law.

7.4 Use of Name. Except as expressly set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser agrees that it shall have no right to use of the name “Strategic Diagnostics Inc.,” “Strategic Diagnostics,” “SDI,” “SDIX” or any service marks, trademarks, trade names, identifying symbols, logos, emblems, signs or insignia related thereto or containing or comprising the foregoing, including any name or mark confusingly similar thereto (collectively, the “Seller Marks”), and will not at any time hold itself out as having any affiliation with Seller or any of its Affiliates.

7.6 Other Prohibited Transactions. Subject to applicable law and fiduciary duties of Seller’s directors, Seller may not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion), directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise: (i) solicit, initiate, engage or encourage any discussions, proposals or offers, regarding the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Business (other than sales, purchases and leases of assets in the Ordinary Course of Business), or any equity interest in, or any merger, consolidation or business combination which includes all or any part of the Business; or (ii) agree to do any of the foregoing. Seller shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of any bona fide written indication of interest or proposal from any Person with respect to any such transaction.

7.7 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller shall afford to Purchaser and its Representatives at no cost reasonable access to and the right to inspect, during normal business hours, all of the properties used in the Business, Purchased Assets, Books and Records, Purchased Contracts and other documents, in each case, to the extent related to the Business, and shall permit them to consult with the Representatives of Seller for the purpose of making such investigation of the Business as Purchaser shall reasonably desire to make; provided, however, that such access shall only be required to be granted to such an extent and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Business. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, subject to any confidentiality obligations of Seller, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser all such documents and copies of documents and records and information with respect to the Business and copies of any working papers relating thereto as Purchaser may reasonably request.

7.8 Notification. The Seller has the right to notify the Purchaser of the existence or happening of any fact, event or occurrence which, if existing or known as of this date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedules. No such notice shall be deemed to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules; provided, however, that if such fact, event or occurrence would constitute a breach of any representation or warranty such that the condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) would not be satisfied, and the Closing occurs, the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed supplemented or amended by such notice for purposes of Article X.

7.9 Non-Competition. In consideration of the mutual covenants provided for herein to Seller at the Closing, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), Seller will not, and will not allow any of its Subsidiaries to, engage (whether as an owner, operator, manager, employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, representative or otherwise) in a Competitive Business in any geographic area in which the Business is conducted as of the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (x) the ownership by Seller or its Subsidiaries of less than 5% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation, (y) Seller or its Subsidiaries from researching, developing, manufacturing, producing or selling antibodies to or on behalf of a third party except as expressly prohibited by Section 6.1.3(b) of the Supply Agreement, and (z) subject to the terms and conditions of the Supply Agreement, Seller from conducting any other business activities conducted or contemplated to be conducted as of the date of this Agreement (other than the Business). Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restriction imposed by this Section 7.9 is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area.

7.10 Non-Solicitation. During the Non-Compete Period:

(a) Seller will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly (i) contact, approach or solicit in each case for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) any Transferred Employee without the prior written consent of Purchaser or (ii) intentionally cause, induce or solicit any customer or supplier of the Business to terminate or materially and adversely modify any such Person’s relationship with the Business; and

If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, it shall within 30 days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.4 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third-party claimant, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept such settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 10.5 and 10.6, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the Indemnified Party declines to accept such offer, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept plus the Losses of the Indemnified Party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(c) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

10.5 Certain Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 10.5(b), notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X, neither Seller, on the one hand, nor Purchaser, on the other hand, shall have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Sections 10.2(a)(i) or 10.3(a)(i), for any individual item, or group of items arising out of the same event, where the Loss relating thereto is less than $60,000 (the “Minor Claims Amount”), and then only to the extent of such excess. Subject to Section 10.5(b), in no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by Seller or Purchaser under this Article X exceed an amount equal $2,430,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.5(a), neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to any claim for indemnification against the other for any individual Loss or any group of related Losses under Sections 10.2(a)(i) or 10.3(a)(i) (which shall be aggregated for this purpose) in an amount less than $3,500, and no such individual Loss or group of related Losses shall be taken into account in determining whether, or to the extent to which, the Minor Claims Amount has been met or exceeded.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX, the Cap and Minor Claims Amount limitations set forth in Section 10.5(a) shall not apply to claims for indemnification in respect of Losses related to or arising out of the matters set forth in Sections 10.2(a)(ii) and (iii) and Section 10.3(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv).

(c) Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party and Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party to the extent of any Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification.

10.6 Additional Considerations.

(a) Any Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article X on account of any Losses will be reduced by (i) all insurance or other third-party indemnification proceeds actually recovered by the Indemnified Party (net of all costs and expenses including taking into account increased premiums directly attributable to such recovered amounts) and (ii) the net amount of the Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party by reason of such Loss.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person, including diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof, unless, in the case of punitive damages, if such punitive damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be owed by an Indemnified Party to an unaffiliated third party.

10.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The parties shall treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

10.8 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article X; provided, that if such breach or failure results from the fraud on the part of Seller, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be limited to indemnification in accordance with this Article X with respect to such breach or failure.

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

11.1 Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(i) by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;

(ii) by Seller if the Closing does not occur on or before October 30, 2012 or by Purchaser if the Closing does not occur on or before December 31, 2012; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (ii) shall not be available to any party whose breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement has been the proximate cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(iii) by Purchaser if (A) there has been a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Schedules or if any representation or warranty of Seller shall have become untrue, in either case without giving effect to any Seller Schedule Supplement and such that the conditions set forth in Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b) are incapable of being satisfied, and (B) such breach is not curable, or, if curable, is not cured within 10 days after written notice of such breach is given to Seller by Purchaser; or

(iv) by Seller if (A) there has been a breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or if any representation or warranty of Purchaser shall have become untrue and such that the conditions set forth in Sections 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) are incapable of being satisfied, and (B) such breach is not curable, or, if curable, is not cured within 10 days after written notice of such breach is given to Purchaser by Seller.

(b) The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall give written notice of such termination to the other party hereto.

11.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in 11.1, this Agreement shall immediately become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Purchaser or Seller or their respective Representatives or Affiliates, except as set forth in Section 11.3; provided that the provisions of Sections 7.1 (Confidentiality), 7.3 (Publicity), 11.3 (Remedies), and Article XIII of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

11.3 Remedies. Any party terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 shall only have the right to seek recovery of damages sustained by such party as a result of any willful breach by the other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or fraudulent or willful misrepresentation; provided, however, that the party seeking relief is not in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement under circumstances which would have permitted the other party to terminate the Agreement under Section 11.1.

ARTICLE XII

12.1 Tax Cooperation. Seller and Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business (including access to books and records as well as the timely provision of powers of attorney or similar authorizations) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any audit, proposed adjustment or deficiency, assessment, claim, suit or other proceeding relating to any Taxes or Tax Return.

Seller shall be responsible for all such Taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets accruing under such daily proration methodology during any period up to and including the day prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for all such Taxes and fees with respect to the Purchased Assets accruing during any period beginning on or after the Closing Date.

If one party remits to the appropriate Taxing Authority payment for Taxes, which are subject to proration under this Section 12.3 and such payment includes the other party’s share of such Taxes, such other party shall promptly reimburse the remitting party for its share of such Taxes.

Transition Services Agreement

EXHIBIT B

Form of

Transition Services Agreement

THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [ ], 2012, by and between Strategic Diagnostics Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Provider”)] and Romer Labs Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”). The Provider and the Purchaser are sometimes individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as, the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement), by and between the Provider and the Purchaser, the Provider has agreed to, among other things, sell, transfer and assign to Purchaser certain assets and liabilities; and

WHEREAS, to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Provider has agreed to provide to the Purchaser certain transition services; and

WHEREAS, the Provider is willing to provide such services upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises, representations and warranties set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.	Services Provided.

1.1 During the Term, the Provider will provide or cause to be provided (including through one or more of its affiliates) to the Purchaser those transitional services, as described and for the length of time specified on Schedule 1 to this Agreement (the “Transition Services”), unless the provision of such Transition Service or this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 2 hereof.

1.2 The Provider shall be required to provide each Transition Service only to the Purchaser in connection with the conduct of the Business (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in the ordinary course consistent with past practice prior to the date hereof, and the Purchaser shall not utilize the Transition Services other than in the ordinary course consistent with past practice. To the extent any Transition Service has not been provided prior to the date hereof, the Purchaser shall utilize the Transition Service only in connection with the conduct of the Business in the ordinary course and in accordance with the applicable terms of Schedule 1. The Purchaser shall not resell any of the Transition Services received by it to any Person or permit the use of such Transition Services by another other Person other than its subsidiaries in the ordinary course and (where applicable) consistent with past practice.

1.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) the Provider shall not be in breach of this Agreement if the Provider does not provide, or cause to be provided, any Transition Services as a result of any refusal to give, or delay in providing, any consent to any matter under this Agreement on the part of the Purchaser or any material breach (beyond the notice and cure period set forth in Section 2.2.2) (it being understood that failure to make a payment will be deemed a material breach) by the Purchaser of its obligations under the Agreement, and (b) the Provider is not required to provide any Transition Service if the provision thereof would violate any applicable Law.

1.4 All employees and representatives of the Provider shall be deemed for all purposes (including compensation and employee benefits) to be employees or representatives solely of the Provider and not to be employees, representatives or independent contractors of Purchaser. In performing their respective duties hereunder, all such employees and representatives of the Provider shall be under the direction, control and supervision of the Provider (and not of Purchaser) and the Provider shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of such employees and representatives. The Provider is not authorized to, and none of the Provider’s employees or representatives shall at any time attempt to (i) act on behalf of Purchaser other than as authorized by Purchaser in the ordinary course of performing the Transition Services, or (ii) bind Purchaser in any manner whatsoever to any obligations.

2.	Term and Termination.

2.1 The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”) and will continue until April 15, 2013 (the “Termination Date”). Upon transition of a Transition Service to the Purchaser or at such time as the Purchaser otherwise is no longer in need of such Transition Service, the Provider’s obligation under this Agreement with respect to the provision of such Transition Service to the Purchaser shall terminate upon (x) 30 days written notice (a “Termination Notice”) thereof from the Purchaser to the Provider or (y) at such earlier time if specified in Schedule 1, and the Purchaser shall no longer be obligated to make payment for such Transition Service; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall provide any such Termination Notices as promptly as practicable following any decision by the Purchaser to discontinue any particular Transition Service; and provided further, that the Purchaser shall reimburse the Provider for any costs, fees or expenses that are both (a) incurred prior to receipt by the Provider of a Termination Notice and (b) otherwise reimbursable under this Agreement but for the termination of such Transition Service.

2.2 This Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date, but may be terminated earlier:

2.2.1 Upon the written mutual agreement of the Parties; or

2.2.2 By the Provider or the Purchaser for material breach of any of the terms hereof by the other Party if the breach is not cured within 15 days after written notice of breach is delivered to the Party committing the breach.

2.3 Any expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement under the provisions of this Section 2 shall not affect any obligation to pay amounts owing or obligations incurred hereunder by any of the Parties prior to the effective date of termination. The provisions of this Section 2.3 and Sections, 2.2.2 and Section 6 shall survive indefinitely following termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

3.	Charges for Services.

3.1 The Provider will provide, or cause to be provided (including through one or more of its affiliates), the Transition Services to the Purchaser in exchange for the fees set forth on Schedule 1 in respect of each Transition Service. Purchaser shall be under no obligation to reimburse the Provider for out-of-pocket and incidental costs and expenses (“Expenses”) incurred by the Provider in connection with the performance of the Transition Services unless (i) the Provider has obtained the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) to such Expenses incurred, and (ii) the Provider submits such documentation with its invoice as may reasonably be required to verify the amount of the Expenses. The Provider shall invoice the Purchaser on a monthly basis for the amounts owed in connection with the Transition Services provided hereunder. All amounts due to the Provider under this Agreement will be due and payable within 15 calendar days of the Purchaser’s receipt of the invoice therefor.

3.2 The Purchaser acknowledges that the Provider or its Affiliates may be providing similar services (or services that involve the same resources as those used to provide the Transition Services) to its internal organizations, subsidiaries, Affiliates and third parties. Purchaser may issue a written request to the Provider to vary any of the Transition Services. The Provider shall respond to such request as soon as practicable (and in any event within seven (7) days of such request) indicating whether Provider is prepared to vary the Transition Services concerned and if so the timing and costs implications such variation would have on the provision of the Transition Services. Purchaser may then decide whether it wishes to proceed to implement the agreed variations.

3.3 The Provider shall not be required to (i) expand its facilities, incur long-term capital expenses or employ additional personnel in order to provide the Transition Services, or (ii) provide Transition Services hereunder that are greater in nature or scope than the comparable services provided to the Business prior to the date hereof.

4. Performance Standard. In providing the Transition Services, the Provider shall perform the Transition Services with the same standard of care as such Transition Services were provided to the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to express variation in the provision of such Transition Services as may be agreed upon by the parties pursuant to Section 3.2.

5.	Limitation of the Parties’ Liability; Indemnification.

6.10 Severability.

No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.

No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

6.12 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be responsible for failure to perform its respective obligations hereunder due to force majeure which shall include, but not be limited to: fires; floods; riots; strikes; labor disputes; freight embargoes or transportation delays; inability or delay attributable to acts of third parties to secure fuel, material, supplies, equipment or power at reasonable prices or on account of shortages thereof; acts of God or of the public enemy; any existing or future laws, rules, regulations or acts of any federal, state or local government (including specifically, but not exclusively, any orders, rules or regulations issued by any official or agency of any such government) which would delay or prohibit performance hereunder; or any cause beyond the reasonable control of a Party. A Party claiming force majeure shall promptly notify the other Party of such circumstances. Any interruption of business caused by such force majeure shall not, however, invalidate this Agreement or the Parties’ respective obligations, provided that the Party claiming that its failure to perform was caused by force majeure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure the failure to perform as soon as possible, and if performance has not been cured within ten (10) days, the other Party may arrange for such performance from a third party or terminate this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

LICENSE

2.1 Grant.

2.1.1 Patent Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Supplier hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a perpetual, royalty-free, non-transferable license (the “License”) to (a) use the Products in connection with the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of the Kits and (b) to make and have made Products under the Patent Rights for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling the Kits. Buyer shall have the exclusive right, subject to Exhibit B and Section 3.1.3, to use the foregoing License in the Subject Field throughout the Territory, subject only to the rights granted by Supplier to Becton, Dickinson and Company pursuant to that certain Collaboration, License and Supply Agreement dated February 2, 2012 (“BD Agreement”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Supplier hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a perpetual, royalty-free non-exclusive right and license (the “Know-How License”) to use the Know-How to make and have made Products for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling the Kits in the Subject Field throughout the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that until the occurrence of an Escrow Release Event or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall exercise the rights described in clause (b).

2.2 Sublicenses. The License and Know-How License granted from Supplier to Buyer hereunder may not be sublicensed to a Third Party, except to a Third Party acting on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliates. Buyer shall obtain prior written consent from Supplier of such sublicense to such Third Party acting on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliate and (a) the terms of such sublicense shall be at least as restrictive as those set forth herein, and (b) Buyer and its Affiliates shall be responsible for such Third Parties’ performance in connection with such sublicense as if conducted by Buyer and its Affiliates hereunder.

2.3 Reservation. All rights not explicitly granted to Buyer in this Agreement are expressly reserved to Supplier. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no other rights or licenses are intended or conveyed herein, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

ARTICLE 3

FORECASTING, SUPPLY AND QUALITY

3.1 Minimum Supply.

3.1.1 Buyer shall purchase from Supplier, and Supplier agrees to sell to Buyer, Product in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Buyer shall purchase from Supplier Products totaling at least the minimum dollar volumes specified in Exhibit B hereto for each Contract Year (the “Yearly Order Total”).

3.1.2 If Buyer fails to meet the Yearly Order Total for any Contract Year, Supplier shall permit Buyer to (a) place a purchase order for Product in an amount sufficient for Buyer to meet the Yearly Order Total for such Contract Year (the “Catch-Up Order”), or (b) make a payment to Supplier for the difference in Product supplied and the Yearly Order Total, provided that such Purchase Order or payment will not operate to reduce the Yearly Order Total for any following Contract Year. If Buyer places a purchase order as provided for in this Section 3.1.2 or makes a payment to Supplier for such shortfall as provided for in this Section 3.1.2, Buyer shall be deemed to have met the Yearly Order Total for the applicable Contract Year.

3.1.3 If Buyer fails to meet the Yearly Order Total for any Contract Year during the Term as set forth on Exhibit B, and Buyer does not place a Catch-Up Order within the time period provided for in Section 3.1.2 or make a payment for such shortfall as provided for in Section 3.1.2, then the exclusive license grant set forth in Section 2.1.1(b) shall convert to a non-exclusive license grant for such products as set forth on Exhibit B and the exclusivity provision set forth in Section 6.1.3(a) shall no longer apply to Supplier.

3.2 Forecasts. Buyer will provide Supplier with rolling twelve month (12) forecasts on a quarterly basis of the monthly estimated quantities of each Product that Buyer anticipates purchasing (“Forecast”) in order for Supplier to ensure an uninterrupted supply to meet demand schedule. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 3.2, the first two (2) calendar quarters included in each Forecast will be binding (“Binding Portion”). Buyer’s initial Forecast shall be delivered within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and subsequent quarterly forecasts shall be delivered no later than the first day of each calendar quarter.

3.3 Product Price. Subject to the adjustments as provided in Section 3.4, the price to be paid by Buyer for Products purchased pursuant to this Agreement (the “Supply Price”) is the “List Price”, set forth on Exhibit A, subject to volume discounts set forth on Exhibit A. For any given invoice, the assumed annual volume on which the Supply Price is based shall be the sum of the two (2) most recent full calendar quarters’ actual purchases and the then-current Binding Portion of the Forecast, provided however that during the first six (6) months of this Agreement, the volume shall be based on the first Forecast provided.

3.4 Price Adjustment. Commencing on January 1, 2014 and every year thereafter on January 1, Supplier may increase or decrease the Supply Price. Any such price increase or decrease shall be communicated to Buyer no later than October 1 of the year immediately preceding the year in which Supplier intends to effectuate such price change. No annual price increase shall exceed the lesser of (i) four percent (4%) and (ii) 100% of the unadjusted percentage change in the U.S. Producer Price Index, “Other Biological Product Manufacturing” (PCU# 325414) (the “Index”), as it appears in the PPI Detailed Report as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, between the June 1 of the year immediately preceding such price increase and May 31 of the prior year. For example, if a price increase will take effect January 1 of 2014, Supplier would calculate the percentage change in the Index by comparing the value of the Index as of June 1, 2013 to the value of the Index as of May 31, 2012. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Supplier’s documented costs of materials materially increase or decrease at any time (including, without limitation, as a result of currency fluctuations), then the parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith an equitable adjustment to the Supply Price.

3.5 Quality Assurance and Specifications. The Products shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations and conform to the specifications set forth on Exhibit A, which may be amended only upon written agreement of both parties (the “Specifications”). If any changes to the Specifications require regulatory approval or other governmental approval or clearance, such change shall not be implemented until such approval or clearance had been received.

3.6 Addition and Modification of Products. At Buyer’s request, new Products, or Products with modified Specifications, may be added to Exhibit A with the consent of Supplier, whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Cost of development, as well as a straight-line increase in list price based on increased production costs, for any new or modified Product not already available will be borne solely by the Buyer.

3.7 Inspection. Supplier shall give access to representatives of Buyer, at all reasonable times during regular business hours, to its facilities and to all Manufacturing records with respect to Products, for the purpose of inspection no more than once per calendar year for a one (1) day inspection. Any such representative of Buyer must be reasonably acceptable to Supplier and shall agree to maintain the Confidential Information as confidential on the terms and conditions set forth in Article IX. Buyer shall request such inspection at least two (2) weeks in advance. Buyer shall have the right while at any of Supplier’s facilities to inspect Supplier’s records, permits and licenses solely to evaluate compliance with all applicable laws. Notwithstanding any inspection performed by Buyer, Supplier shall remain solely responsible for operating its facilities and for complying with its obligations under this Agreement. Neither the rights granted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.7, nor any inspection performance by Buyer, shall impose any liability on Buyer.

3.8 Manufacturing Changes. Supplier shall notify and obtain prior written consent from Buyer for: (a) changes in the Product Specifications and (b) any production changes that affect Product Specifications. Upon agreement of any change under subsection 3.8(a) or 3.8(b), Supplier shall update the Escrow Documentation.

3.9 Safety Stock. Upon Buyer’s written request, Supplier shall maintain a safety stock of unpurified raw materials inventory necessary to produce the amount of the Products described in the prospective twelve months of the Forecast (such safety stock, the “Safety Stock”). Supplier shall manage the Safety Stock at all times throughout the Term or until Buyer’s request for Safety Stock maintenance is rescinded in writing. The Safety Stock shall be warehoused and maintained at Supplier’s facilities. Supplier will maintain sanitation levels at the area where the Safety Stock is located equivalent to the sanitation levels where Supplier stores its own inventory. Supplier shall rotate the Safety Stock on a first-in, first-out basis. Safety Stock shall be automatically replenished by Supplier by a date occurring no more than one hundred eighty (180) days after Safety Stock is used. All Safety Stock shall be maintained at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

ARTICLE 4

PURCHASE ORDERS

4.1 Purchase Orders. During the Binding Portion of each Forecast, Buyer shall from time to time place written purchase orders (each, a “Purchase Order”) with Supplier for quantities of each Product at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the delivery date specified in each respective Purchase Order for such Binding Portion of the Forecast. In the event Buyer fails to provide a Purchase Order, then the prior issuance of a Forecast shall, to the extent of the Binding Portion only, shall be deemed to be a Purchase Order as such term is used herein. Each Purchase Order will (a) specify the Product to be delivered, (b) specify the quantity of Products, (c) specify the date range within which Products must be delivered and (d) specify no more than one (1) delivery location for all Products referenced therein. Each such Purchase Order (including, if applicable, the Binding Portion of a Forecast deemed to be a Purchase Order as set forth above) shall constitute a firm offer by Buyer to purchase the quantity of Products at the Supply Price for delivery during the period specified. No later than the close of business on the third (3rd) business day following the delivery of a Purchase Order, Supplier shall notify Buyer if Supplier rejects the Purchase Order. No confirmation by Supplier shall be necessary in order to affect Supplier’s acceptance of any Purchase Order.

4.2 Conflicts. Other than terms respecting quantity, delivery date(s) and destination(s), the terms and conditions of any Purchase Order submitted by Buyer shall be of no force or effect, whether or not objected to by Supplier, and nothing in any such Purchase Order or written acceptance shall supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

DELIVERY AND PAYMENT TERMS

5.1 Payment Terms. Supplier shall invoice Buyer for all Product delivered under Purchase Orders on the date of shipment, and for all other amounts due to Supplier, if any, hereunder monthly in arrears. Each invoice shall specify the Purchase Order number to which it corresponds. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all amounts due to Supplier hereunder shall be paid by Buyer in U.S. Dollars within 30 days of receipt of invoice. All amounts not paid within such 30 days will be charged a service fee of one-and-one half percent (1½%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.

5.2 Collection Fees. In the event Supplier institutes legal proceedings or employs a collection agency to collect monies due as part of this Agreement, Buyer shall also pay reasonable attorneys fees, collection fees and expenses. All amounts payable to Supplier under this Agreement shall be paid, without set-off and without deduction of any taxes, levies, imposts, charges, withholdings and/or duties of any nature which may be levied or imposed, including without limitation, value added tax, customs duty and withholding tax.

5.3 Taxes. Buyer shall pay sales or use tax, if any is due, of the state in which the order originates. The price of the product includes all taxes due and payable in the United States, but excludes any taxes, including VAT, that are due and payable outside the United States. Unless otherwise stated, the prices do not include sales or use taxes applicable to the Products. All such taxes and charges shall be shown separately on Supplier's invoice.

5.4 Delivery. Supplier shall ship Products in accordance with the quantities, delivery dates, and delivery location specified in the Purchase Order. Supplier shall ship the Products by shipping agents designated by Buyer; provided, however, that Supplier has right to approve the carriers to ensure their ability to meet Supplier shipping and storage expectations. All Products shall be packaged, marked and otherwise prepared in accordance with good commercial practices and Buyer’s reasonable instructions therefor, if any. Each package must be numbered and labeled with Purchase Order number, stock number (if applicable), contents, and weight. An itemized packing list shall be included in each shipment and the package containing the packing list must be clearly marked as such. Each packing list shall bear the Purchase Order number and an accurate description of the Products and quantities in the shipment. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet delivery dates specified in the Purchase Orders. Supplier reserves the right to make partial deliveries, and rescheduling of lead times on orders shall be at Supplier’s discretion. Any shipment delivered that is within plus or minus ten percent (10%) of the quantity ordered and/or within plus or minus seven days of the delivery date specified on the relevant Purchase Order shall be considered delivered on time.

5.5 Terms of Delivery. The Product shall be shipped FCA from Supplier’s manufacturing facilities at Buyer’s expense via the carrier designated by Buyer and, in the absence of such designation, a carrier selected by Supplier. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all transportation charges and expenses shall be paid by Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible to arrange for clearance of the Product through customs for import.

5.6 Failure to Supply.

5.6.1 Notice of Delay and Supply Failure. If, during the Term, Supplier has reason to believe that it will lack sufficient capacity or otherwise be unable to supply Buyer in a timely manner with the full quantity of Products set forth in a Forecast or actually ordered by Buyer for any reason, Supplier shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) days of Supplier’s determination) notify Buyer thereof. If Supplier does provide Buyer with such a notice, or if Supplier fails to provide Buyer with adequate assurances of timely performance upon Buyer’s request therefor, Buyer and Supplier shall promptly meet to discuss how to thereafter supply Buyer with the applicable quantities of Product in a timely manner.

5.6.2 Shortage. In the event of any shortage of any material used in connection with the Manufacture by Supplier of the Products due to a Force Majeure Event, Supplier shall allocate such material, as applicable, on a pro rata basis between Buyer, on the one hand, and all other customers of Supplier (including Supplier itself), on the other hand. In such case, the allocation to which Buyer is entitled under this Section 5.6.2 during the pendency of such shortage shall be based upon the Binding Portion set forth in the applicable Forecast.

5.6.3 Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall not be responsible for any liability, loss or damage of any kind sustained or incurred by Buyer by reason of any Supply Failure, other than the obligation to refund any sums paid by Buyer for Product which is not delivered.

5.7 Inspection, Acceptance and Returns of Product.

5.7.1 Inspection by Buyer. It is Buyer’s responsibility to test Product in the manner described within the Specifications (for each Product, the “Specified Method of Analysis”). Buyer shall have a period of 30 days from the date of Buyer’s receipt of the Product to inspect any shipment of Product to determine whether such shipment conforms to the Specifications, quantity and the warranty set forth in Section 8.2. If Buyer determines that the Product does not conform to the Specifications, quantity and warranty when using the Specified Method of Analysis, it shall notify Supplier by delivering a written rejection notice immediately, if possible, but no later than the expiration of such period.

5.7.2 Acceptance. If such rejection notice is not given within the stipulated period for a shipment of Product, then such shipment shall be deemed accepted by Buyer and such acceptance shall constitute a waiver of any claims Buyer may have against Supplier with respect to such shipment.

5.7.3 Disagreement Regarding Rejection. If Buyer delivers a rejection notice in respect of all or any part of a shipment of Product, and Supplier does not agree with Buyer’s determination that Product fails to meet the applicable Specifications at the time of delivery, the parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute. Supplier and Buyer shall have 30 days from the date of Supplier’s receipt of such notice to resolve such dispute regarding whether all or any part of such shipment of Product conforms to the Specifications at the time of delivery. If disputes between the parties as to whether all or any part of a shipment rejected by Buyer was supplied in conformance with the applicable Specifications are not resolved in such 30 day period, then such Product shall be submitted for testing and/or resolution to an independent testing laboratory or a consultant (if not a laboratory analysis issue). The testing laboratory or the consultant and protocol, as the case may be, shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. The results of the testing or resolution shall be final and binding on the parties, and if such Product is determined to meet Specifications at the time of delivery, then Buyer shall pay for the costs of such testing and/or resolution; otherwise, Supplier shall pay for such costs.

5.7.4 Replacement or Reimbursement for Properly Rejected Product. In the event any shipment of the Product is appropriately rejected pursuant to this Section 5.7 (the “Non-Conforming Product”), Buyer shall return such Non-Conforming Product to Supplier, to a location designated by Supplier and at Supplier’s expense. If the Non-Conforming Product is more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Binding Portion of the Forecast for such calendar quarter, Supplier shall have one hundred twenty (120) days from the determination, as provided herein, that such Product is Non-Conforming Product to replace Non-Conforming Product (“Cure Period”). If the Non-Conforming Product is less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Binding Portion of the Forecast for such calendar quarter, in Buyer’s discretion, Supplier shall either (i) reimburse Buyer for payments received by Supplier for the Non-Conforming Product, provided that such reimbursement shall exclude any applicable late payment charge collected in connection therewith, or (ii) at no expense to Buyer replace any Non-Conforming Product within one hundred twenty (120) days. SUPPLIER’S SOLE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH REJECTION SHALL BE LIMITED TO REPLACEMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 5.7.4.

Furthermore, upon Buyer’s request, Supplier shall engage in good faith discussions with its third party suppliers, vendors and contractors with the aim of assisting Buyer or its designee to establish relationships with such third party suppliers, vendors and contractors, to the extent such relationships are necessary or useful for the Manufacture of the Products; provided, however, that the aforementioned assistance to be provided by Supplier shall in no event exceed twelve (12) months from the date such new manufacturer is identified and shall be subject in all cases to Supplier’s reasonable internal requirements for use of human resources for Supplier operations.

6.1.3 Exclusivity.

(a) Supply. Subject to the Permitted Activities (as defined in Section 6.1.3(b)), Supplier shall exclusively supply Buyer with Products set forth on Exhibit A for use in the Subject Field, provided that if Buyer fails to meet the Yearly Order Total for any Contract Year during the Term as set forth on Exhibit B, and Buyer does not place a Catch-Up Order within the time period provided for in Section 3.1.2 or make a payment for such shortfall as provided for in Section 3.1.2, then such exclusivity obligation set forth above shall convert to a non-exclusive supply obligation.

THIS SUBLEASE, dated as of the ___ day of ______, 2012 (the “Commencement Date”), between STRATEGIC DIAGNOSTICS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation having an office at 111 Pencader Drive, Newark, DE 19702 (herein called "Sublessor") and ROMER LABS TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (herein called, "Subtenant").

W I T N E S S E T H

1. DEMISE AND TERM. Sublessor hereby leases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby leases from Sublessor, those certain premises (herein called the "Subleased Premises") consisting of approximately 15,160 rentable square feet which is a part of the space leased under the Main Lease (as hereinafter defined) to Sublessor in the building known as 128 Sandy Drive, Newark, Delaware (herein called the "Building"). The Subleased Premises shall be a separately demised space, as depicted in Exhibit A hereto. The term of this Sublease shall be the period commencing on the "Commencement Date"), and ending at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2013, unless sooner terminated as herein provided (the "Term"). Subtenant shall have no interest in the Subleased Premises or Personal Property upon the expiration of this Sublease.

2. SUBORDINATE TO MAIN LEASE. This Sublease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the lease dated as of January 1, 2007 (herein the "Lease") between Tober and Agnew Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Overlandlord"), having an office at 21 Gray Fox Ridge, Newark, DE 19711, as landlord, and Sublessor, as tenant, as such lease is amended by that certain Addendum to Industrial Lease last signed March 3, 2009 (the “Addendum”), and by that certain Addendum 2 to Industrial Lease, dated as of December 31, 2011 (the "Second Addendum") between Overlandlord and Sublessor (the Lease, the Addendum and the Second Addendum, collectively, hereinafter the "Main Lease") and to the matters to which the Main Lease is or shall be subject and subordinate. A complete copy of the Main Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

3. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. The terms, covenants and conditions of the Main Lease are incorporated herein by reference so that, except to the extent that they are inapplicable or modified by the provisions of this Sublease for the purpose of incorporation by reference, each and every term, covenant and condition of the Main Lease binding or inuring to the benefit of the landlord thereunder shall, in respect of this Sublease, bind or inure to the benefit of Sublessor, and each and every term, covenant and condition of the Main Lease binding or inuring to the benefit of the tenant thereunder shall, in respect of this Sublease, bind or inure to the benefit of Subtenant, with the same force and effect as if such terms, covenants and conditions were completely set forth in this Sublease, and as if the words "Landlord" and "Tenant," or words of similar import, wherever the same appear in the Main Lease, were construed to mean, respectively, "Sublessor" and "Subtenant" in this Sublease, and as if the word "Premises," or words of similar import, wherever the same appear in the Main Lease, were construed to mean "Subleased Premises" in this Sublease, and as if the word "Lease," or words of similar import, wherever the same appear in the Main Lease, were construed to mean this "Sublease." Subtenant shall not be required to pay any rent or additional rent due under the Main Lease except as expressly provided in this Sublease, and except that Subtenant shall pay upon demand for any special services or requirements of Subtenant, including, without limitation, overtime air conditioning, extra cleaning, extra elevator use, and extra water use. The time limits contained in the Main Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, condition or covenant on the part of the tenant thereunder, or for the exercise by the tenant thereunder of any right, remedy or option, are changed for the purposes of incorporation herein by reference by shortening the same in each instance by two days, so that in each instance Subtenant shall have two days less time to observe or perform hereunder than Sublessor has as the tenant under the Main Lease. The following provisions of the Main Lease are expressly not incorporated by reference into this Sublease: (a) Sections 3 (Term); 4 (Use); 5 (Base Rent); the second sentence of 7(a) (Maintenance, Repairs, Alterations and Building Services); 10.6 (Abatement of Rent; Lessee’s Remedies); 12 (Assignment and Subletting); 30 (Signs) of the Lease; (b) Sections 1 (Term); 2 (Base Rent); 3 (Option to Renew) of the Addendum last signed March 3, 2009; and (c) Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Addendum 2, dated as of December 31, 2011. Any non-liability, indemnity or hold harmless provision in the Main Lease for the benefit of the Overlandlord, that is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublessor, the Overlandlord, and any other person intended to be benefited by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease. Any right of the Overlandlord of access or inspection and any right of the Overlandlord to do work in the premises demised under the Main Lease or in the Building and any right of the Overlandlord in respect of rules and regulations shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublessor, the Overlandlord, and any other person intended to be benefited by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease. If any of the express provisions of this Sublease shall conflict with any of the provisions incorporated by reference, such conflict shall be resolved in every instance in favor of the express provisions of this Sublease. If Sublessor receives any notice or demand from the Overlandlord, Sublessor shall promptly give a copy thereof to Subtenant.

4. PERFORMANCE BY SUBLESSOR. Any obligation of Sublessor which is contained in this Sublease by the incorporation by reference of the provisions of the Main Lease may be observed or performed by Sublessor using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Overlandlord to observe and/or perform the same, and Sublessor shall have a reasonable time to enforce its rights to cause such observance or performance. Sublessor shall not be required to furnish, supply or install anything under any article of the Main Lease. Subtenant shall not in any event have any rights in respect of the Subleased Premises greater than Sublessor's rights under the Main Lease, and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, as to obligations that pertain to the Subleased Premises and are contained in this Sublease by the incorporation by reference of the provisions of the Main Lease, Sublessor shall not be required to make any payment or perform any obligation, and Sublessor shall have no liability to Subtenant for any matter whatsoever, except for Sublessor's obligation to pay the rent and additional rent due under the Main Lease. Sublessor shall not be responsible for any failure or interruption, for any reason other than the negligent act or omission of Sublessor, of the services or facilities that may be appurtenant to or supplied at the Building by the Overlandlord or otherwise, including, without limitation, heat, air conditioning, water, electricity, elevator service and cleaning service, if any; and no failure to furnish, or interruption of, any such services or facilities shall give rise to any (a) abatement, diminution or reduction of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease, (b) constructive eviction, whether in whole or in part, or (c) liability on the part of Sublessor (other than for a failure to furnish or interruption of such services or facilities caused by the negligent act or omission of Sublessor).

5. NO BREACH OF MAIN LEASE. Subtenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing which may constitute a breach or violation of any term, covenant or condition of the Main Lease by the tenant thereunder, whether or not such act or thing is permitted under the provisions of this Sublease.

6. NO PRIVITY OF ESTATE. Nothing contained in this Sublease shall be construed to create privity of estate or of contract between Subtenant and the Overlandlord.

7. INDEMNITY. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 9.6 of the Main Lease, Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublessor and Overlandlord from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Subtenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Sublease, or arising from any gross negligence of the Subtenant, or any of Subtenant’s agents, contractors or employees, and from and against all reasonable and documented costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Sublessor by reason of any such claim. Subtenant upon notice from Sublessor shall defend the same at Subtenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor.

8. RELEASES. Subtenant hereby releases Sublessor and the Overlandlord or anyone claiming through or under the Overlandlord by way of subrogation or otherwise to the extent that Sublessor released the Overlandlord and/or the Overlandlord was relieved of liability or responsibility pursuant to the provisions of the Main Lease, and Subtenant will cause its insurance carriers to include any clauses or endorsements in favor of Sublessor and the Overlandlord which Sublessor is required to provide pursuant to the provisions of the Main Lease.

9. RENT. Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor rent (herein called the "Fixed Rent") hereunder at the following rates: (a) $168,882.40 per annum ($14,073.53 per month) for the period beginning on the Commencement Date and concluding December 31, 2012; and (b) $173,948.87 per annum ($14,495.74 per month) for the period beginning January 1, 2013 and concluding December 31, 2013. Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, except that the first full monthly installment of $14,073.53 (due on October 1, 2012), together with the pro-rated partial month Fixed Rent in the amount of $____________, is being paid on the signing of this Sublease. Fixed Rent and all other amounts payable by Subtenant to Sublessor under the provisions of this Sublease (herein called the "Additional Rent") shall be paid promptly when due, without notice or demand therefor, and without deduction, abatement, counterclaim or setoff of any amount or for any reason whatsoever. Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid to Sublessor in lawful money of the United States at the address of Sublessor set forth in the preamble of this Sublease or the provisions of this Sublease shall be paid promptly when due, without notice or demand therefor, and without deduction, abatement, counterclaim or setoff of any amount or for any reason whatsoever. Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid to Sublessor in lawful money of the United States at the address of Sublessor set forth in the preamble of this Sublease or to such other person and/or at such other address as Sublessor may from time to time designate by notice to Subtenant. No payment by Subtenant or receipt by Sublessor of any lesser amount than the amount stipulated to be paid hereunder shall be deemed other than on account of the earliest stipulated Fixed Rent or Additional Rent; nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Sublessor may accept any check or payment without prejudice to Sublessor's right to recover the balance due or to pursue any other remedy available to Sublessor. Any provision in the Main Lease referring to Base Rent or to the costs and expenses set forth in Section 5(f) of the Lease, incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to refer to the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, respectively, due under this Sublease.

10. LATE CHARGES. If payment of any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent shall not have been paid by the seventh day after the date on which such amount was due and payable then, in addition to, and without waiving or releasing, any other remedies of Sublessor, a late charge of two percent over the National Commercial Rate as announced by the Wilmington Trust Company per calendar month or any part thereof, or the then maximum lawful interest rate, whichever shall be less, from the date on which such amount was due, on the amount overdue shall be payable on demand by Subtenant to Sublessor as damages for Subtenant's failure to make prompt payment. The late charges for any month shall be payable on the first day of the following month, and in default of payment of any late charges, Sublessor shall have (in addition to all other remedies) the same rights as provided in this Sublease (including the provisions incorporated by reference) for nonpayment of Fixed Rent. Nothing in this Section contained and no acceptance of late charges by Sublessor shall be deemed to extend or change the time for payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent.

11. ADDITIONAL RENT. In each calendar year during the Term, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublessor for Subtenant’s Proportional Share (calculated as 59.43%, with reference to the relative square footage of the Premises occupied by the parties) of all expenses incurred by Sublessor and attributable to the Premises during the Term, including, without limitation:

(a)	all Real Estate Taxes, which for purposes of this Sublease shall include include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes) imposed on the Premises by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Sublessor in the Premises or in the Building and as against Sublessor’s right to rent or other income therefrom. The term “Real Estate Taxes” shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge in substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment for charge hereinabove including within the definition of “Real Estate Taxes,” but shall not include any income, excess profits, franchise, transfer, inheritance, excise, business privilege, gross receipts or profit tax, or capital stock tax imposed or assessed upon Sublessor, any fines, penalties, interest or any real estate taxes resulting from any sale or refinancing of the Premises;
(b)	all reasonable costs of cleaning, repairing and maintaining exterior areas (including the costs for snow removal), including trash facilities, driveways, walkways, entrances, landscaping, costs and expenses for repairing and maintaining plumbing, electrical, sprinkler systems, ductwork and mechanical systems, roof and exterior walls and windows, but not including the items listed on Exhibit B hereto. Subtenant's obligations under this Section shall be apportioned for any period of the Term that is less than a full calendar year. Sublessor shall have the right to demand payment during or after the expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Sublease;

(c)	all utilities costs, including without limitation, all water, gas, sewer, heat, electric, telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, plus all surcharges, taxes, fuel adjustments, transfer charges or other similar charges paid thereon by Sublessor; provided, however, that all utilities costs shall be in the actual amounts assessed by the applicable provider and paid by Sublessor; and

(d)	for the avoidance of doubt, Sublessor shall remain solely responsible for, and Subtenant shall have no liability or obligation with respect to, any and all costs of repairs and replacements payable by Sublessor to Overlandlord in connection with Section 7(c) of the Lease, as amended by Section 4 of the Second Addendum.

12. USE. Subtenant shall use and occupy the Subleased Premises for offices, laboratory uses and the manufacturing of immunological reagents and ascites and any other uses accessory thereto or any other use which is reasonably comparably and for no other purpose. Subtenant shall comply with the certificate of occupancy relating to the Subleased Premises and with all laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal governments and the appropriate agencies, officers, departments, boards and commissions thereof, and/or the fire insurance rating organization or similar organization performing the same or similar functions, whether now or hereafter in force, applicable to the Subleased Premises.

13. CONDITION OF SUBLEASED PREMISES SPACE "AS IS". Subtenant represents that Subtenant is hiring the Subleased Premises "as is." In making and executing this Sublease, Subtenant has not relied upon or been induced by any statements or representations of any person (other than those, if any, set forth expressly in this Sublease) in respect of the physical condition of the Subleased Premises or of any other matter or thing affecting the Subleased Premises or this transaction which might be pertinent in considering the leasing of the Subleased Premises or the execution of this Sublease. Subtenant has, on the contrary, relied solely on such representations, if any, as are expressly made herein and on such investigations, examinations and inspections as Subtenant has chosen to make or have made. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublessor has afforded Subtenant the opportunity for full and complete investigations, examinations and inspections.

14. CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. In any instance when Sublessor's consent or approval is required under this Sublease, Sublessor's refusal to consent to or approve any matter or thing shall be deemed reasonable if, inter alia, such consent or approval has not been obtained from the Overlandlord. In the event that Subtenant shall seek the approval by or consent of Sublessor and Sublessor shall fail or refuse to give such consent or approval, Subtenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding or delay of such approval or consent by Sublessor, it being intended that Subtenant's sole remedy shall be an action for injunction or specific performance and that said remedy of an action for injunction or specific performance shall be available only in those cases where Sublessor shall have expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent.

15. NOTICES. All notices, consents, approvals, demands and requests which are required or desired to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by United States registered or certified mail and deposited in a United States post office, return receipt requested and postage prepaid or by a nationally recognized overnight service. Notices, consents, approvals, demands and requests which are served upon Sublessor or Subtenant in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to have been given or served for all purposes hereunder on the business day next following the date on which such notice, consent, approval, demand or request shall have been mailed or sent by nationally recognized overnight service as aforesaid.

Bratton, Vice President & CFO, or at such other place as Sublessor may from time to time designate in a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

16. TERMINATION OF MAIN LEASE. If the term of the Main Lease shall terminate prior to the expiration date of this Sublease for any reason other than other than: (i) Sublessor’s uncured default, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, under the Main Lease; (ii) Sublessor’s exercise of its rights and remedies under the Main Lease; (iii) operation of terms in Main Lease providing for automatic termination thereof (in such cases including, without limitation, casualty and condemnation); and (iv) the mutual agreement of Sublessor and Overlandlord, this Sublease shall thereupon be terminated and Sublessor shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason thereof. If this Sublease terminates as a result of a default of Sublessee under this Sublease, Sublessee shall be liable to Sublessor for all damages suffered by Sublessor as a result of the termination, with the exclusion of any and all consequential, incidental, indirect, special and punitive damages. If this Sublease terminates for one of the reasons set forth in items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, Sublessor shall be liable to Sublessee for all damages suffered by Sublessee as a result of the termination, with the exclusion of any and all consequential, incidental, indirect, special and punitive damages.

17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Subtenant shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, assign, sell, mortgage, pledge or in any manner transfer this Sublease or any interest therein, or sublet the Subleased Premises or any part or parts thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all or any part of the Subleased Premises by any person, without the consent of Sublessor and the Overlandlord. Neither the consent of Sublessor to an assignment, subletting, concession, or license, nor the references in this Sublease to assignees, subtenants, concessionaires or licensees, shall in any way be construed to relieve Subtenant of the requirement of obtaining the consent of Sublessor and the Overlandlord to any further assignment or subletting or to the making of any assignment, subletting, concession or license for all or any part of the Subleased Premises. In the event Sublessor consents to any assignment of this Sublease, the assignee shall execute and deliver to Sublessor an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Sublessor and the Overlandlord whereby the assignee shall assume all of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, including, without limitation, any assignment or subletting permitted or consented to, the original Subtenant named herein and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Subtenant shall remain fully liable on this Sublease, and if this Sublease shall be amended, modified, extended or renewed, the original Subtenant named herein and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Subtenant shall remain fully liable on this Sublease as so amended, modified, extended or renewed. Any violation of any provision of this Sublease by any assignee, subtenant or other occupant shall be deemed a violation by the original Subtenant named herein, the then Subtenant and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Subtenant, it being the intention and meaning that the original Subtenant named herein, the then Subtenant and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Subtenant shall all be liable to Sublessor for any and all acts and omissions of any and all assignees, subtenants and other occupants of the Subleased Premises. If this Sublease shall be assigned or if the Subleased Premises or any part thereof shall be sublet or occupied by any person or persons other than the original Subtenant named herein, Sublessor may collect rent from any such assignee and/or any subtenants or occupants, and apply the net amounts collected to the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Section, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as Subtenant, or a release of any person from the further performance by such person of the obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16, Subtenant may assign or sublease the Subleased Premises, or any portion thereof, without Sublessor’s consent but subject to Overlandlord consent, if applicable, to any corporation which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation with Subtenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Subtenant as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease, Any such assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Sublease are changed or altered.

18. INSURANCE. Subtenant shall maintain throughout the Term of this Sublease the insurance in respect of the Subleased Premises required under Section 9 of the Lease, with Sublessor and the Overlandlord as additional insureds. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublessor and the Overlandlord fully paid for policies or certificates issued by the carriers or their duly authorized agents (and not by a broker) prior to the Commencement Date. Subtenant shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Subtenant shall deliver to Sublessor and the Overlandlord such renewal policies or certificates at least 30 days before the expiration of any existing policy. All such policies shall meet the requirements in the Main Lease and shall be issued by companies of recognized responsibility licensed to do business in the State of Delaware, and all such policies shall contain a provision whereby the same cannot be cancelled or modified unless Sublessor and the Overlandlord are given at least 30 days' prior written notice by certified or registered mail of such cancellation or modification.

19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Subtenant shall, within seven (7) business days after each and every request by Sublessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublessor a statement in writing executed and acknowledged by Subtenant containing all of the information set forth in Section 15 of the Lease. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this section may be relied upon by any prospective assignee or transferee of the leasehold estate under the Main Lease.

20. ALTERATIONS. Subtenant shall not make or cause, suffer or permit the making of any alteration, addition, change, replacement, installation or addition in or to the Subleased Premises without obtaining the prior consent of Sublessor and the Overlandlord in each instance; provided, however, that Subtenant may make nonstructural alterations to the Subleased Premises which do not in the aggregate exceed $50,000.

21. RIGHT TO CURE SUBTENANT'S DEFAULTS. If Subtenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other obligation of Subtenant hereunder, then Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, after three days' notice to Subtenant, or without notice to Subtenant in the case of any emergency, and without waiving or releasing Subtenant from any obligations of Subtenant hereunder, to make such payment or perform such other obligation of Subtenant in such manner and to such extent as Sublessor shall deem necessary, and in exercising any such right, to pay any incidental costs and expenses, employ attorneys, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys' fees.

25. NO WAIVER. The failure of Sublessor to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance or observance of any obligation of Subtenant hereunder or to exercise any right or option contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such obligation of Subtenant or any right or option of Sublessor. Sublessor's receipt and acceptance of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, or Sublessor's acceptance of performance of any other obligation by Subtenant, with knowledge of Subtenant's breach of any provision of this Sublease, shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No waiver by Sublessor of any term, covenant or condition of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Sublessor.

There are no representations, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Sublease which are not fully expressed in this Sublease. This Sublease cannot be changed or terminated orally or in any manner other than by a written agreement executed by both parties.

27. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Sublease, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall extend to, bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

28. INTERPRETATION. Irrespective of the place of execution or performance, this Sublease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. If any provision of this Sublease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Sublease and the application of that provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected but rather shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law. The table of contents, captions, headings and titles, if any, in this Sublease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation. This Sublease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Sublease to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Sublease shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Sublease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Sublease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Sublease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of the party bound by, undertaking or making same, not dependent on any other provision of this Sublease unless otherwise expressly provided. All terms and words used in this Sublease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may require. The word "person" as used in this Sublease shall mean a natural person or persons, a partnership, a corporation or any other form of business or legal association or entity.

29. SIGN. Subtenant shall not place any sign upon the Subleased Premises without Sublessor’s and Overlandlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

31. SUBLESSOR'S LIABILITY LIMITED. In the event Sublessor shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Sublease upon Sublessor’s part required to be performed, or if Subtenant shall make any claim arising out of Subtenant’s occupancy or use of the Subleased Premises based upon any action or omission of Sublessor, Subtenant covenants and agrees to look solely to Sublessor’s interest in the Master Lease for any recovery of money judgment from Sublessor from and after the date of this Sublease. In no event shall the stockholders, partners, directors, officers, agents or employees of Sublessor (either individually or severally) be personally liable for any such judgment. Furthermore, in no event shall Subtenant be entitled to an award of incidental or consequential damages arising out of any breach by Sublessor.

32. (Intentionally omitted).

33. RENEWAL OPTION. Subtenant shall have the right to renew this Sublease, upon the same terms and conditions, for one (1) additional period of one (1) year, provided that Subtenant has given Sublessor written notice of its intent no later than the date which is 120 days prior to the date upon which this Sublease would otherwise expire.
