The parties agree to meet after the end of each Contract Year to review the level of Abbott’s sales of Product into the Physicians’ Office Segment and penetration of that Segment by Abbott to determine if such sales and penetration are sufficient to warrant converting Abbott’s non-exclusive appointment for the Physicians’ Office Segment to an exclusive appointment. Each party shall determine whether to agree to such conversion in its sole discretion.

2.1.3Exclusive Appointment – U.S. Government Hospital Segment.

7

(a) In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement, OraSure appoints Abbott, and Abbott accepts appointment, as the exclusive marketer and distributor of the Products during the Term in the U.S. Government Hospital Segment, with the right to commercially distribute the Products on an exclusive basis to customers solely in the U.S. Government Hospital Segment, including all activities ancillary thereto (including, without limitation, warehousing, order entry, shipping, billing and collection, promotional, advertising, marketing and sales activities). Subject to Section 2.1.5, the grant of exclusive rights to Abbott under this Section 2.1.3 means that, for so long as Abbott’s rights under this Section 2.1.3 with respect to the U.S. Government Hospital Segment remain exclusive, OraSure may not promote, market and sell the Products, directly or indirectly, to customers in the U.S. Government Hospital Segment, except that OraSure shall be permitted to engage in promotional, advertising, marketing and sales support activities pursuant to or as permitted by this Section 2.1.3 and Article 5.

(b) All sales of Product by Abbott to the U.S. Government Hospital Segment shall be made by Abbott pursuant to and in compliance with the terms and conditions of the then current OraSure FSS and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the OraSure FSS. OraSure agrees to cooperate with Abbott in Abbott’s provision of services, compliance with the OraSure FSS, compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating to the OraSure FSS and Abbott’s provision of services thereunder. Abbott shall not list or otherwise offer the Products on a Federal Supply Schedule filed by Abbott or any of its Affiliates. In the event the OraSure FSS is modified, expires or is terminated and such action materially and adversely affects Abbott’s ability to meet the Contractual Minimums, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith reasonable reductions to the Contractual Minimums to reflect such action and the quantity of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices sold by Abbott in the U.S. Government Hospital Segment during the most recent twelve (12) month period.

(c) It is expected that customers in the U.S. Government Hospital Segment will remit payment for the Products directly to Abbott. If, however, OraSure receives payment from a customer in the U.S. Government Hospital Segment with respect to the sale of Products to such customer, OraSure will receive such payment in trust for Abbott and either (i) pay Abbott the entire amount of the payment received, or (ii) credit Abbott the entire amount of the payment received against another Abbott payment.

(d) OraSure shall be responsible for, at OraSure’s cost, adding Abbott as a distributor under the OraSure FSS in the U.S. Government Hospital Segment. In addition, OraSure acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for the IFF payment related to the OraSure FSS.

2.1.4Sub-distributors. Abbott may appoint sub-distributors or agents solely in the Physicians’ Office Segment and in no other Segment;provided,however, that (i) each such sub-distributor or agent agrees in writing to comply with Abbott’s obligations under this Agreement that are applicable to the distribution of the Products and (ii) Abbott’s use of sub-distributors or agents does not relieve Abbott of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

8

2.1.5Conditions to Exclusivity. In order to maintain its exclusive appointment under Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.3, Abbott must purchase the following number of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices in respect of each of the following Contract Years, such that OraSure may invoice Abbott and delivery to Abbott must occur for the specified number of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices during the applicable Contract Year: (a) at least *** OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices during the first Contract Year (so long as Abbott is not prevented from launching the Products in one or more of the Segments by May 1, 2005 solely as a result of a failure by OraSure to supply Product ordered by Abbott in accordance with this Agreement); (b) at least *** OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices during the second Contract Year, and (c) at least *** OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices during the third Contract Year (each a “Contractual Minimum”). The Contractual Minimums shall be equitably adjusted in the event OraSure fails to supply Product as provided in Section 7.7 or is unable to supply Product with a shelf life of at least seven (7) months as provided in Section 10.5. The Contractual Minimums for any Contract Year following the Initial Term shall be determined pursuant to Section 13.1. In the event that Abbott does not meet its Contractual Minimum for any Contract Year, then OraSure’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to convert Abbott’s appointment under Section 2.1.1 to non-exclusive and to terminate Abbott’s exclusive appointment under Section 2.1.3. OraSure shall exercise its right to convert or terminate under this Section 2.1.5 by giving Abbott written notice thereof. If OraSure exercises any of its rights under this Section 2.1.5 to convert or terminate an appointment under this Agreement, OraSure shall have the right to promote, market, sell and distribute the Products, directly or indirectly through one or more distributors, sub-distributors or agents, in the Segment in which Abbott’s appointment has been converted or terminated, including engaging in all activities ancillary thereto (including, without limitation, warehousing, order entry, shipping, billing and collection, promotional, advertising, marketing and sales activities). Once an appointment is converted to non-exclusive or terminated under this Agreement it may not be restored to an exclusive appointment by any means including, without limitation, Abbott taking delivery of an additional quantity of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices in a subsequent Contract Year that would satisfy the Contractual Minimum for such Contract Year. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a failure to meet any required Contractual Minimum may not be cured by issuance of a Purchase Order during a Contract Year calling for delivery in a subsequent Contract Year or taking delivery of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices in a subsequent Contract Year equal to or greater than the aggregate of the number of units of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices that Abbott failed to order and take delivery during a prior Contract Year in order to satisfy the applicable Contractual Minimum plus the Contractual Minimum for such subsequent Contract Year. The number of units of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices in excess of the Contractual Minimum for a given Contract Year that Abbott orders and takes delivery during the Contract Year shall not be credited to the Contractual Minimum for any subsequent Contract Year.

2.1.6Favored Nation Pricing. If, during the Term, OraSure exercises its right under Section 2.1.5 to convert Abbott’s appointment under this Agreement with respect to the Hospital Segment to non-exclusive as a result of Abbott failing to meet the Contractual Minimum for any Contract Year, OraSure agrees that, for Purchase Orders delivered by Abbott after such conversion, the Transfer Price for Products purchased under such Purchase Orders shall not be higher than *** of the lowest price charged by OraSure or its Affiliates to any third party (other than Affiliates of OraSure) purchasing substantially similar volumes of the same Products for sale or distribution in the Hospital Segment in the Territory. In addition, with

9

respect to the Physicians’ Office Segment, OraSure shall not provide Products to any other distributor to the Physicians’ Office Segment at a transfer price which is less than *** of the Transfer Price.

2.2Restrictions. Abbott shall not, directly or indirectly, promote, market, sell or otherwise distribute or provide (or arrange any sale, distribution or provision of) the Products outside of the Hospital Segment, Physicians’ Office Segment, U.S. Government Hospital Segment, Reference Lab Segment or the Territory. Abbott further agrees not to sell the Products to customers whom Abbott knows has resold or distributed or facilitated the resale or distribution of the Products outside the Hospital Segment, Physicians’ Office Segment, U.S. Government Hospital Segment, Reference Lab Segment or the Territory in violation of this Agreement or to customers that Abbott knows intend to take such action. For so long as Abbott’s appointment in any Segment under this Agreement is exclusive, if Products sold by OraSure to a distributor are being resold inside such Segment, then, upon written notice by Abbott of such occurrence, OraSure shall pursue any contractual remedies it may have against such distributor, such remedy to be determined by OraSure’s election in OraSure’s sole discretion, to prevent such resale or distribution, including discontinuation of sales of Products to such distributor, until such time as such distributor discontinues selling Products in the applicable Segment. If Products sold by Abbott to a distributor are being resold outside the Physicians’ Office Segment or outside the Territory, then upon written notice by OraSure of such occurrence, Abbott shall pursue any contractual remedies it may have against such distributor, such remedy to be determined by Abbott’s election in Abbott’s sole discretion, to prevent such resale or distribution including discontinuing of sales of Products to such distributor or person until such time as such distributor or person discontinues selling Products outside the Physicians’ Office or Territory, as the case may be. The parties shall each designate a representative who will have quarterly meetings with the other party’s representative to try to resolve any issues that may arise related to Product being sold outside of either party’s designated Segments.

2.3Non-Assertion. During the Term and any additional period contemplated by Section 13.3.3, OraSure covenants that it will not enforce any patent rights owned or licensed by OraSure against Abbott, its Affiliates or its customers in respect of the marketing, distribution, sale, and use of the Products in the Segments in the Territory purchased by Abbott in accordance with this Agreement.

2.4New Product. Except as provided in this Section 2.4, if OraSure develops a New Product and desires to distribute the New Product in the Territory, OraSure shall have no obligation to offer Abbott the right to distribute, market, promote, sell and/or represent the New Product and Abbott shall have no distribution rights with respect to such New Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if OraSure develops and desires to distribute a New Product which consists solely of a device using OraSure’s OraQuick® platform for the rapid, point of care detection of both HIV-1 and HIV-2 as well as one or more other infectious diseases or conditions on the same device (an “OraQuick® Combo Product”), OraSure shall provide Abbott with written notice thereof (“New Product Notice”). Abbott shall have a right of first negotiation with respect to the distribution of such OraQuick® Combo Product in the Segments in the Territory for a ninety (90) day period commencing on the date it receives the New Product Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.4. During the Negotiation Period, the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the terms

10

and conditions of a distribution agreement with respect to such OraQuick® Combo Product. If following the end of the Negotiation Period, the parties have not executed and delivered a mutually agreeable form of distribution agreement providing for the distribution by Abbott of such OraQuick® Combo Product in the Segments in the Territory, (i) Abbott’s right of first negotiation with respect to such OraQuick® Combo Product shall terminate (provided that Abbott shall have a continuing first right of negotiation with respect to any different OraQuick® Combo Products developed in the future, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4) and (ii) OraSure shall be free to distribute the OraQuick® Combo Product, directly or indirectly through one or more agents or subdistributors, in any market or territory including the Segments in the Territory, provided that any such distribution arrangement with a third party entered into by OraSure or its Affiliates within twelve (12) months of the expiration of the Negotiation Period shall be on terms which, when taken as a whole, using reasonable judgment, are not materially more favorable to such third party than those terms offered by OraSure to Abbott during the Negotiation Period.

2.5Improved Product. If OraSure develops an Improved Product and desires to distribute, have distributed, market, have marketed, promote, have promoted or sell or have sold such Improved Product in the Territory, Abbott shall have the same rights to the Improved Product as it has to the Products under this Agreement, and such Improved Product shall be deemed to be a “Product” hereunder and may be supplied by OraSure in lieu of the original Product supplied hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate OraSure to develop or seek FDA approval of an Improved Product, including without limitation an Improved Product that has indications or claims that are different than those approved by the FDA for the Products or reflected in the Regulatory Approvals as of the Effective Date.

2.6OTC Approval. It is possible that OraSure may seek to obtain FDA approval for the marketing and sale of a device for the rapid, point-of-care detection of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 in the retail or over-the-counter market segment in the Territory. Abbott shall have no rights with respect to the marketing, promotion, distribution, representation and/or sale of such a device in the retail or over-the-counter market segment in the Territory, and no adjustments shall be made to this Agreement in connection with OraSure seeking or obtaining any such FDA approval or OraSure directly or indirectly marketing, promoting, distributing and/or selling such a device in the retail or over-the-counter market segment in the Territory.

2.7Sales to CDC, Etc. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude OraSure from marketing, promoting, selling or distributing Products to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (“SAMHSA”) or other government agencies, including without limitation state or county public health departments. OraSure shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the CDC, SAMHSA and such other governmental agencies from reselling any Product into the Hospital Segment or U.S. Government Hospital Segment; provided that in the event the CDC, SAMHSA or such other governmental agency donates or otherwise provides or uses any Product in Hospitals for clinical studies or other purposes, such action shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by OraSure, or entitle Abbott to any adjustments to this Agreement except as provided below. So long as Abbott’s appointments under Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.3 have not been converted to non-exclusive or terminated within sixty (60) days following the end of each Contract Year, or, if such appointments are converted or terminated, such conversion or

11

termination was reasonably caused by such reselling or donating by the CDC, SAMHSA or other such governmental agencies, the parties shall meet to discuss the quantity of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices sold by OraSure to the CDC, SAMHSA or other governmental agencies that are shown by reasonable documentation to have been sold or distributed by the CDC, SAMHSA or such agency into the Hospital Segment or U.S. Government Hospital Segment during such Contract Year other than for purposes of a clinical or non-clinical study or research (the “Subject Quantity”). If the Subject Quantity is greater than ten percent (10%) of the Contractual Minimum for the preceding Contract Year, the parties shall negotiate in good faith an appropriate adjustment to the Contractual Minimum for the next Contract Year, taking into account whether the same or different Subject Quantity is reasonably expected during such next Contract Year.

2.8Records; Audit. Abbott and OraSure each shall keep records sufficient, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, to permit verification of the determination of the Subject Quantity made under Section 2.7, above, and any other information required by Section 2.7, and as may be required to confirm that each such party is marketing and selling Product within the segments permitted under this Agreement. Such records shall be maintained and made available for examination in accordance with this Section 2.8 for at least two (2) years after the close of the applicable Quarterly Period to which they relate. Abbott and OraSure each shall permit such records to be examined during normal business hours by independent third party public accountants designated by the other party and reasonably acceptable to the party being audited.

If, during any Contract Year, OraSure is unable for any reason to supply at least ninety percent (90%) of the quantities of Products, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement ordered by binding Purchase Order that complies with the terms of Article 7 (which quantities shall not include any excess quantities contemplated by Section 7.2 (c)), and such failure continues for at least sixty (60) days after the delivery date set forth in such Purchase Order, then Abbott may elect either of the following: (i) to adjust the Contractual Minimums specified for such Contract Year under Section 2.1.5 or (ii) to obtain a supply of a replacement rapid, point of care diagnostic test for HIV-1 and HIV-2 (a “Replacement Product”) from a third party (a “Third Party Supplier”) in an amount equal to the quantity of Product OraSure is unable to supply. Abbott shall notify OraSure in writing of its election no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the sixty (60) day period specified above, after which Abbott shall no longer be entitled to exercise any remedy in connection with such failure to supply.

7.7.2Adjustment of Minimums. If Abbott elects to adjust the Contractual Minimums as permitted in Section 7.7.1, the Contractual Minimum for the Contract Year in which the failure to supply occurred shall equal (x) three hundred sixty five (365) (or the actual number of days in such Contract Year) minus the number of days after the applicable delivery date the failure to supply continued, multiplied by (y) the quotient of the unadjusted Contractual Minimum for such Contract Year divided by three hundred sixty five (365) (or the actual number of days in such Contract Year).

7.7.3Third Party Supplier. If Abbott exercises its right to have a Third Party Supplier manufacture and supply a Replacement Product pursuant to Section 7.7.1 and thereafter during the Term OraSure desires to resume supplying Abbott with the Product (whether by OraSure, through another source or otherwise), then OraSure shall notify Abbott of such desire. Abbott shall then resume purchasing Product exclusively from OraSure for the remainder of the

23

Term of this Agreement as soon as OraSure demonstrates to Abbott’s reasonable satisfaction that OraSure (whether by OraSure, another source or otherwise) is capable of re-establishing a satisfactory supply of Product; provided that Abbott shall not be required to cancel any contract with a Third Party Supplier or a purchase orders for Replacement Product with a Third Party Supplier that were issued in accordance with the forecasts required by Section 7.3 to the Third Party Supplier prior to the date that OraSure gave Abbott notice of its desire to resume supply. Abbott agrees that it will not enter into any contracts with Third Party Suppliers in accordance with this Section under which Abbott cannot terminate its purchase commitments for Product within six (6) months from the date such contracts are executed. If OraSure is capable of re-establishing a supply of Product and Abbott does not resume purchasing Product exclusively from OraSure for any reason including a contractual commitment to a Third Party Supplier, then OraSure shall be permitted to directly or indirectly market, distribute and sell Products into the Hospital Segment and the U.S. Government Hospital Segment, notwithstanding Abbott’s exclusive appointment to such Segments, until Abbott resumes purchasing Product exclusively from OraSure; provided that OraSure shall redirect any customers it obtains in the Hospital Segment and U.S. Government Hospital Segment to Abbott once Abbott resumes purchasing Product exclusively from OraSure, and any sales by OraSure to such customers shall be credited against the Contractual Minimums for the Contract Year in which such sales occur. Any action by OraSure pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not constitute a waiver of OraSure’s available remedies in the event Abbott fails to resume purchasing Product exclusively from OraSure in accordance with this Section 7.7.3.

7.7.4Nondiscrimination. In the event OraSure is unable to supply all Product ordered by Abbott hereunder (other than excess quantities of Product contemplated by Section 7.2 (c)), OraSure shall distribute available Product to Abbott on a pro-rata basis with OraSure’s other customers based upon each customer’s (including Abbott’s) aggregate purchases for the prior twelve (12) months.

ARTICLE 8 - COMPENSATION.

8.1Transfer Price.

8.1.1Transfer Prices. Abbott shall pay OraSure the applicable per unit Transfer Price as set forth inExhibit _1.53 for Products ordered under this Agreement. The Transfer Price payable by Abbott hereunder may be adjusted by OraSure in accordance withExhibit 1.50. The Transfer Prices are based on the assumption that OraSure will package individual OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices and OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Controls in its standard type and size boxes. If Abbott desires to purchase Products packaged in non-standard type or size boxes, the parties shall meet to discuss an appropriate allocation of costs and adjustments to the applicable Transfer Prices.

8.1.2Taxes.The Transfer Prices for the Products are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, ad valorem, value added and other similar taxes (other than taxes assessed on OraSure’s income), which shall be paid solely by Abbott. Abbott shall provide OraSure with a valid resale

24

certificate for all purchases that are exempt from sales tax. In addition, Abbott shall be solely responsible for paying any import, customs and other fees or governmental charges.

8.1.3Other Charges. OraSure reserves the right to charge Abbott a commercially reasonable fee for: (i) any change or cancellation by Abbott of an accepted Purchase Order; and (ii) any order that requires any special shipping or handling. Abbott shall be solely responsible for freight, shipping and insurance charges relating to Products purchased hereunder.

8.1.4Payment. Abbott shall pay all amounts due under Section 8.1 of this Agreement no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from OraSure and delivery of the quantity of Products in covered by such invoice.

8.2Revenue-Based Amount.

8.2.1Revenue-Based Amounts. The parties shall be obligated to pay separate revenue-based amounts in respect of each Quarterly Period based on Abbott Net Sales during such Quarterly Period to the Hospital Segment and U.S. Government Hospital Segment, on the one hand, and to the Physicians’ Office Segment and Reference Lab Segment, on the other, in accordance with this Section 8.2 (each a “Revenue-Based Amount”). At the end of each month, Abbott shall report to OraSure the number of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices sold and the Abbott Net Sales generated from such sales in each Segment and at the end of each Quarterly Period Abbott shall report to OraSure the number of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices sold in each of the Segments during such Quarterly Period, including a breakout of the number of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices sold by Segment (and with respect to the Hospital Segment and U.S. Government Hospital Segment a breakout by specific customer and region in a manner sufficient for OraSure to allocate sales to their sales personnel) and the Abbott Net Sales generated from such sales.

8.2.2Revenue-Based Amount for Hospitals. If an amount equal to *** of Abbott Net Sales in the Hospital Segment and U.S. Government Hospital Segment for a Quarterly Period (such amount being the “Hospital Adjustment Number”) exceeds the Hospital Baseline for such Quarterly Period, then Abbott shall pay OraSure a Revenue-Based Amount equal to the excess of the Hospital Adjustment Number over the product of (a) the total number of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices sold in the Hospital Segment and U.S. Government Hospital Segment during such Quarterly Period, multiplied by (b) the Transfer Price for such Products. If, however, the Hospital Adjustment Number for the Quarterly Period is less than the Hospital Baseline for the Quarterly Period, then OraSure shall pay Abbott, in the form of a credit against amounts due to OraSure under this Agreement, an amount equal to the difference of (x) the product of the Transfer Price for the OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Device multiplied by the total number of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices sold in the Hospital Segment during the Quarterly Period minus (y) the Hospital Baseline for the Quarterly Period.

8.2.3Revenue-Based Amount for Physicians’ Offices and Reference Labs. In addition to the amount payable to Abbott pursuant to Section 8.2.2, if an amount equal to *** of Abbott Net Sales in the Physicians’ Office Segment and Reference Lab Segment in a Quarterly Period (such amount being the “PO/RL Adjustment Number”) exceeds the PO/RL Baseline for

25

such Quarterly Period, then Abbott shall pay OraSure a Revenue-Based Amount equal to the excess of the PO/RL Adjustment Number for such Quarterly Period over the PO/RL Baseline.

8.2.4Change in Transfer Price. Whenever a reference is made to the Transfer Price in making a calculation required to apply this Section 8.2 and the Transfer Price changed during the month or Quarterly Period or the units sold into the Segment during the month or Quarterly Period had different Transfer Prices, the Transfer Price applicable to the units sold during the Quarterly Period shall be determined using a first in, first out methodology.

8.2.5Reporting.Abbott shall deliver the report required under Section 8.2.1 to OraSure no later than ten (10) days after the end of each month and fifteen (15) days after the end of each Quarterly Period, which report shall include all the information specified in Section 8.2.1 and a calculation of Abbott Net Sales, the Hospital Adjustment Number, the PO/RL Adjustment Number, the Hospital Baseline, the PO/RL Baseline and the Revenue-Based Amounts for the applicable month and Quarterly Period. If a payment is due to Abbott under this Section 8.2, the payment shall be included with the report for the Quarterly Period. If an amount is due from OraSure to Abbott under Section 8.2.2, Abbott shall submit an invoice with the report for the Quarterly Period in the amount due under Section 8.2.2 to Abbott and OraSure shall issue the credit in the amount shown on the invoice no later than thirty (30) days after receipt thereof unless it disputes the invoice in good faith.

8.2.6Records; Audit. Abbott shall keep records sufficient, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, to permit verification of the determinations made under this Section 8.2, the calculations of Abbott Net Sales, the Hospital Adjustment Number, the PO/RL Adjustment Number, the Hospital Baseline, the PO/RL Baseline, any Revenue-Based Amounts and any other information required by Section 8.2.1. Such records shall be maintained and made available for examination in accordance with this Section 8 for at least two (2) years after the close of the applicable Quarterly Period. Abbott shall permit such records to be examined during normal business hours by independent third party public accountants designated by OraSure and reasonably acceptable to Abbott. Such accountants shall report to OraSure only the amount by which a Revenue-Based Amount due under this Section 8.2. in respect of the audited period was overpaid or underpaid and the basis for such determination, and shall make such report simultaneously available to both OraSure and Abbott. In the event an examination of Abbott’s records reveals that a Revenue-Based Amount paid to OraSure was less than the amount required to be paid to OraSure under Section 8.2.1 in respect of the audited period, Abbott shall promptly pay the amount of such underpayment. In the event that such underpayment amounts to five percent (5%) or more of the total correct amount of the Revenue-Based Amount, Abbott shall also reimburse OraSure for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the examination to a maximum amount of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) and Abbott shall pay to OraSure interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of one-half percent (0.5%) per month or such lower rate as may be required by applicable law from the date on which the Revenue-Based Amount for the audited period was due. In the event an examination of Abbott’s records reveals that a Revenue-Based Amount paid to OraSure was more than the amount required to be paid to OraSure under this Section 8.2. in respect of the audited period, OraSure shall credit the amount of the overpayment against amounts otherwise due to OraSure under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9 –INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

9.1Branding. OraSure shall label the Products using the trademarks of both OraSure and Abbott and the trade dress of OraSure, in accordance with this Section 9.1. The individual OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices, the laminated packages containing individual OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices, and the individual OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Controls shall be labeled solely with OraSure’s trademarks, trade names, logos and trade dress (the “OraSure Trademarks”) as determined by OraSure in its sole discretion. The boxes in which packages containing individual OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices and OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Controls are packaged (the “OraQuick® Boxes”) shall be labeled with the OraSure Trademarks and with Abbott’s trademarks and tradenames (the “Abbott Trademarks”) identified from time to time by Abbott. Abbott shall provide OraSure with at least sixty (60) days advance notice of the Abbott Trademarks or any changes in the Abbott Trademarks proposed by Abbott for labeling on OraQuick® Boxes. Subject to Article 5, the parties shall cooperate in the design of the labeling for OraQuick® Boxes and the final labeling design shall be subject to approval by both parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Abbott shall reimburse OraSure for OraSure's actual out-of-pocket costs of making any label changes on the OraQuick® Boxes resulting from Abbott’s modifications to the Abbott Trademarks proposed for such labeling;provided,however, that in no event shall Abbott be required to reimburse OraSure for more than three (3) months production requirements, as set forth in Abbott’s most recent forecast provided pursuant to Section 7.3, for such labels, unless purchase of such excess items had previously been authorized in writing by Abbott. Abbott hereby consents to OraSure’s use of the Abbott Trademarks on labeling for the OraQuick® Boxes in accordance with this Section 9.1. The pricing set forth in this Agreement for Products assumes that the same label and packaging, including OraSure’s standard type and size boxes, will be used for all Products supplied to Abbott under this Agreement and if this assumption is proved incorrect, the parties shall meet to discuss a reasonable allocation of costs.

9.2Promotional Materials. OraSure hereby consents to the use by Abbott of the OraSure Trademarks on promotional materials for the purpose of promoting, marketing and selling the Products in the Segments in the Territory. No promotional materials bearing the OraSure Trademarks may be used without OraSure’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by more than fourteen (14) days after receipt of Abbott’s request for approval.

9.3No Other Rights; Allocation of Goodwill. Except for the rights herein, neither party shall acquire any right, title, or interest in any trademark, trade name, logo or trade dress, copyright, patent, or any other intellectual property rights of the other party by reason of this Agreement. Abbott acknowledges and agrees that all use of any of the OraSure Trademarks and all of the goodwill associated therewith shall inure solely to OraSure’s benefit. OraSure acknowledges and agrees that all use of any of the Abbott Trademarks and all of the goodwill associated therewith shall inure solely to Abbott’s benefit.

9.4Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement both parties shall immediately cease all use of the other party’s trademarks, trade names, logos and trade dress, except such use as is necessary to complete Manufacturing and sale of Products under open Purchase Orders at the time of termination or to sell off inventory as permitted under Section 13.3.3.

ARTICLE 10 –PRODUCT WARRANTIES.

10.1Limited Product Warranty.

10.1.1Limited Warranty for OraQuick® ADVANCE^™ Devices. OraSure warrants to Abbott that: (a) each OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Device, when delivered, will conform to the specifications set forth in the OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Device Specifications for the OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Device; and (b) each OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Device shall be free from defects in materials, workmanship, packaging or labeling for a period equal to its stated shelf life (the “OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Device Warranty Period”).

10.1.2Limited Warranty for OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Controls. OraSure warrants to Abbott that: (a) each OraQuick® ADVANCE^™ Control, when delivered, will conform to the specifications set forth in the OraQuick® ADVANCE^™ Control Specifications for the OraQuick® ADVANCE^™ Control; and (b) each OraQuick® ADVANCE^™ Control shall be free from defects in materials, workmanship, packaging or labeling for a period equal to its stated shelf life (the “OraQuick® ADVANCE^™ Control Warranty Period”).

10.2OraSure Disclaimer. THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES FOR ORAQUICK®ADVANCE^™ DEVICES AND ORAQUICK® ADVANCE^™ CONTROLS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.1 AND THE ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.1 AND SECTION 14.16 ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ORASURE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WHETHER ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10.3Warranty Claim Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed by OraSure, to make a warranty claim, Abbott shall at Abbott’s expense return the allegedly defective Products, or a representative sample thereof, together with a description of the alleged defect. OraSure shall, promptly after receipt and as required, inspect the alleged defective Products. If such inspection results reasonably confirm that the Products do not conform with the applicable warranty set forth in Section 10.1 and the non-conformance did not arise from misuse, mishandling, storage in a manner inconsistent with labeling, neglect, modification or unusual physical or chemical stress after delivery to the carrier, Abbott shall return any remaining Products in Abbott’s inventory with the same defect at OraSure’s expense, and the sole and exclusive warranty remedies set forth in Section 10.4 shall apply. If such test results fail to confirm the Products’ non-conformance to the applicable warranty set forth in Section 10.1, or if the parties fail to

28

otherwise resolve the dispute, the parties shall submit the affected Products, or a representative sample thereof, along with a reference batch which has previously been shown by Abbott to conform to the applicable warranty set forth in Section 10.1, to a mutually acceptable independent laboratory along with the inspection protocols described in the specifications and mutually agreeable interrogatories to be answered by such laboratory. The determination of the affected Products’ conformance or non-conformance to the applicable warranty set forth in Section 10.1 shall be binding upon the parties. If the laboratory determines that the Products conform to the applicable warranty set forth in Section 10.1, Abbott shall pay all independent laboratory and shipping costs incurred by OraSure, and if such laboratory confirms that the Products do not conform with the applicable warranty set forth in Section 10.1, OraSure shall pay all independent laboratory and shipping costs incurred by Abbott and the sole and the exclusive warranty remedies set forth in Section 10.4 shall apply.

10.4Abbott’s Warranty Remedies. During the OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Device Warranty Period and OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Control Warranty Period, as the case may be, OraSure shall replace, at OraSure’s expense, or at Abbott’s option, refund or credit the purchase price of, any Product that does not comply with the applicable limited warranty set forth in Section 10.1. OraSure’s obligation to replace defective Products or to refund or credit the purchase price paid for such Products pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall not apply to any Products that have been subjected to misuse, mishandling, storage in a manner inconsistent with labeling, neglect, modification or unusual physical or chemical stress after delivery to the carrier. Other than as specifically provided in Sections 6.4 and 11.3.2, this Section 10.4 states Abbott’s sole and exclusive remedy for failure of any Product to comply with the applicable limited warranty set forth in Section 10.1.

10.5Product Shelf Life. OraSure will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Abbott with Products that have a remaining shelf life of at least *** from the time of delivery. If OraSure is unable to supply Products with at least such remaining shelf life, OraSure shall notify Abbott of that fact and the parties shall cooperate to facilitate the distribution of the affected Product in accordance with this Agreement. If the parties are unable, after exercising good faith efforts, to complete the distribution of the affected Products by Abbott, Abbott’s sole remedy shall be to adjust the Contractual Minimums, in which case the Contractual Minimum for the Contract Year in which OraSure’s inability occurs shall equal (i) three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or the actual number of days in such Contract Year) minus the number of days after the applicable delivery date during which OraSure’s inability to supply continued, multiplied by (ii) the quotient of the unadjusted Contract Minimum for such Contract Year divided by three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or the actual number of days in such Contract Year.)

ARTICLE 12 -CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-USE OF INFORMATION.

12.1Non-Disclosure. Each party will, for the Term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, (i) keep confidential and not disclose to others, all Confidential Information of the other party, and (ii) not use any of the other party’s Confidential Information for its own direct or indirect benefit, or the direct or indirect benefit of any third party, except

31

that each of Abbott and OraSure may use the other party’s Confidential Information to the extent necessary to perform its duties and obligations, or to enforce such party’s rights, under this Agreement. The foregoing shall not prohibit disclosures: (x) made to the receiving party’s employees, agents or permitted subdistributors who have a “need to know” the other party’s Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is necessary to perform such party’s duties and obligations, or to enforce such party’s rights, under this Agreement, provided that such sub-distributors, employees or agents agree in writing or are otherwise compelled to comply with the obligations of this Article 12; or (y) compelled to be made by any requirement of law or pursuant to any legal, regulatory or investigative proceeding before any court, or governmental or regulatory authority, agency or commission so long as the party so compelled to make disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party provides prior written notice to such other party so that the other party may seek a protective order or other remedy to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and/or waive the compelled party’s compliance with this Article 11. If such protective order, other remedy or waiver is not obtained by the time the compelled party is required to comply, the compelled party may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information of the other party that it is legally compelled to disclose and shall request, at the other party’s expense, that such Confidential Information be accorded confidential treatment (if such procedure is available).

Neither party shall use the name of the other party in any publicity, advertising or in any written, verbal or any other form of public disclosure (except as required by applicable law or regulation including any requirements of the SEC) without the express written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OraSure and Abbott acknowledge that they are reviewing a draft press release disclosing the fact that this Agreement has been executed and the general nature of the matters covered hereby, and agree that they will use their best efforts to complete the release so that OraSure may issue the release within four (4) business days after the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 13 -TERM AND TERMINATION.

13.1Term.

13.1.1Initial Term and Renewals. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and, subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 13.2 or as otherwise set forth herein, terminate upon the last day of the third Contract Year (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, subject to Section 13.1.2 and the last sentence of this Section 13.1.1, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) Contract Year each (each, a “Renewal Term,” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.1.1 or 13.1.2, if Abbott has failed to meet the Contractual Minimums in any Contract Year ending on or prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, then this Agreement shall not automatically renew at the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be.

13.1.2.Conditions to Renewal. The provisions of this Section 13.1.2 shall only apply if Abbott meets the Contractual Minimums for all Contract Years. At least one-hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term (if any), Abbott and OraSure shall meet to discuss the new Contractual Minimum for the next succeeding Renewal Term; provided that any agreement on a new Contractual Minimum shall be at each party’s sole discretion. If the parties reach agreement on the new Contractual Minimum at least one-hundred twenty (120) days prior to the commencement of the next succeeding Renewal Term, and provided Abbott has met the Contractual Minimums for all Contract Years (including the Contract Year in which the parties met to discuss the new Contractual Minimum), this Agreement shall automatically renew for such Renewal Term and the Contractual Minimum agreed to by the parties shall be the Contractual Minimum for such Renewal Term under Section 2.1.5. If the parties fail to agree on a new Contractual Minimum within the time frame set forth above, the Agreement shall not automatically renew without the further agreement of both parties. In the event that the Agreement does not renew because the parties fail to agree to a new Contractual Minimum, Abbott shall, notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the last sentence of this Section 13.1.2, have the right to renew this Agreement for an additional Renewal Term with a Contractual Minimum equal to *** of the greater of (i) the Contractual Minimum for the last Contract Year prior to renewal and (ii) the number of OraQuick®ADVANCE^™ Devices actually sold to Abbott under this Agreement during the last Contract Year prior to renewal.

EXHIBIT 14.13.1

ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR)

The parties recognize that bona fide disputes as to certain matters may arise from time to time during the term of this Agreement which relate to either party’s rights and/or obligations. To have such a dispute resolved by this Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) provision, a party first must send written notice of the dispute to the other party for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations between their respective presidents (or their designees) of the affected subsidiaries, divisions, or business units within twenty-eight (28) days after such notice is received (all references to “days” in this ADR provision are to calendar days).

If the matter has not been resolved within twenty-eight (28) days of the notice of dispute, or if the parties fail to meet within such twenty-eight (28) days, either party may initiate an ADR proceeding as provided herein. The parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel in such a proceeding.

1. To begin an ADR proceeding, a party shall provide written notice to the other party of the issues to be resolved by ADR. Within fourteen (14) days after its receipt of such notice, the other party may, by written notice to the party initiating the ADR, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR.

2. Within twenty-one (21) days following receipt of the original ADR notice, the parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral to preside in the resolution of any disputes in this ADR proceeding. If the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable neutral within such period, either party may request the President of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (“CPR”), 366 Madison Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10017, to select a neutral pursuant to the following procedures:

(a) The CPR shall submit to the parties a list of not less than five (5) candidates within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the request, along with aCurriculum Vitae for each candidate. No candidate shall be an employee, director, or shareholder of either party or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

(b) Such list shall include a statement of disclosure by each candidate of any circumstances likely to affect his or her impartiality.

(c) Each party shall number the candidates in order of preference (with the number one (1) signifying the greatest preference) and shall deliver the list to the CPR within seven (7) days following receipt of the list of candidates. If a party believes a conflict of interest exists regarding any of the candidates, that party shall provide a written explanation of the conflict to the CPR along with its list showing its order of preference for the candidates. Any party failing to return a list of preferences on time shall be deemed to have no order of preference.

(d) If the parties collectively have identified fewer than three (3) candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR immediately shall designate as the neutral the

43

candidate for whom the parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference. If a tie should result between two candidates, the CPR may designate either candidate. If the parties collectively have identified three (3) or more candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR shall review the explanations regarding conflicts and, in its sole discretion, may either (i) immediately designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference, or (ii) issue a new list of not less than five (5) candidates, in which case the procedures set forth in subparagraphs 2(a) - 2(d) shall be repeated.

3. No earlier than twenty-eight (28) days or later than fifty-six (56) days after selection, the neutral shall hold a hearing to resolve each of the issues identified by the parties. The ADR proceeding shall take place at a location agreed upon by the parties. If the parties cannot agree, the neutral shall designate a location other than the principal place of business of either party or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

4. At least seven (7) days prior to the hearing, each party shall submit the following to the other party and the neutral:

(a) a copy of all exhibits on which such party intends to rely in any oral or written presentation to the neutral;

(b) a list of any witnesses such party intends to call at the hearing, and a short summary of the anticipated testimony of each witness;

(c) a proposed ruling on each issue to be resolved, together with a request for a specific damage award or other remedy for each issue. The proposed rulings and remedies shall not contain any recitation of the facts or any legal arguments and shall not exceed one (1) page per issue.

(d) a brief in support of such party’s proposed rulings and remedies, provided that the brief shall not exceed twenty (20) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

Except as expressly set forth in subparagraphs 4(a) - 4(d), no discovery shall be required or permitted by any means, including depositions, interrogatories, requests for admissions, or production of documents.

5. The hearing shall be conducted on two (2) consecutive days and shall be governed by the following rules:

(a) Each party shall be entitled to five (5) hours of hearing time to present its case. The neutral shall determine whether each party has had the five (5) hours to which it is entitled.

(b) Each party shall be entitled, but not required, to make an opening statement, to present regular and rebuttal testimony, documents or other evidence, to

44

cross-examine witnesses, and to make a closing argument. Cross-examination of witnesses shall occur immediately after their direct testimony, and cross-examination time shall be charged against the party conducting the cross-examination.

(c) The party initiating the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, shall address not only issues it raised but also any issues raised by the responding party. The responding party, if it chooses to make an opening statement, also shall address all issues raised in the ADR. Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.

(d) Except when testifying, witnesses shall be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments.

(e) Settlement negotiations, including any statements made therein, shall not be admissible under any circumstances. Affidavits prepared for purposes of the ADR hearing also shall not be admissible.

As to all other matters, the neutral shall have sole discretion regarding the admissibility of any evidence.

6. Within seven (7) days following completion of the hearing, each party may submit to the other party and the neutral a post-hearing brief in support of its proposed rulings and remedies, provided that such brief shall not contain or discuss any new evidence and shall not exceed ten (10) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

7. The neutral shall rule on each disputed issue within fourteen (14) days following completion of the hearing. Such ruling shall adopt in its entirety the proposed ruling and remedy of one of the parties on each disputed issue but may adopt one party’s proposed rulings and remedies on some issues and the other party’s proposed rulings and remedies on other issues. The neutral shall not issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling.

8. The neutral shall be paid a reasonable fee plus expenses. These fees and expenses, along with the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows:

(a) If the neutral rules in favor of one party on all disputed issues in the ADR, the losing party shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of such fees and expenses.

(b) If the neutral rules in favor of one party on some issues and the other party on other issues, the neutral shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the parties. The neutral shall

45

allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the party prevailing on more issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses.

9. The rulings of the neutral and the allocation of fees and expenses shall be binding, non-reviewable, and non-appealable, and may be entered as a final judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

10. Except as provided in paragraph 9 or as required by law (including applicable securities laws and regulations), the existence of the dispute, any settlement negotiations, the ADR hearing, any submissions (including exhibits, testimony, proposed rulings, and briefs), and the rulings shall be deemed Confidential Information. The neutral shall have the authority to impose sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information.

11. All disputes referred to ADR, the statute of limitations, and the remedies for any wrong that may be found, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

12. The neutral may not award punitive damages or any other damages excluded by Section 14.5 (Limitation of Liability) of the Agreement. The parties hereby waive the right to punitive damages.

13. The hearings shall be conducted in the English language.
