The parties agree that in the process of exercising their responsibilities, the Project Management (consisting of the Project Manager and Project Leaders, as set forth herein) should have routine access to such information needed to assess progress under and costs of the Ultrio Development Program. Specifically, the parties agree that the Project Leaders shall be invited to participate in all team meetings, and will have access to team meeting minutes, Timecards and other expense records, except to the extent the Project Leader for the party assigned principal responsibility under Section 2.5.3 of this Ultrio Addendum for an activity determines in its reasonable discretion that any such meetings or minutes contain confidential, proprietary information of the responsible party. In such cases, the Project Manager shall (i) determine whether the Project Leader for the party not having primary responsibility for the activity can attend all or a portion of such meeting, (ii) provide a copy of the meeting minutes to the Project Leader not having primary responsibility for the activity with such confidential, proprietary information redacted, and (iii) to the extent that such minutes had proprietary or confidential information redacted, inform the Project Leader not having primary responsibility of the general nature of any decisions made at such meeting which affect the Timeline, Budget or Interim Events; provided, however that the Project Manager may only redact information comprising Gen-Probe intellectual property and know how or confidential business issues. Project Leaders will have access to non-confidential and non-proprietary information of the other party necessary to perform their responsibilities under the Ultrio Development Program, including those listed under Section 2.4.4. Project Leaders will inform and coordinate all activities,

including meetings with personnel involved in the performance of the Ultrio Development Program, with the Project Manager. The primary point of contact for the Ultrio Development Program at Gen-Probe will be Gen-Probe's Project Manager, the primary point of contact at Chiron will be Chiron's Project Leader. In order to maintain an efficient and orderly development the parties will communicate through the primary points of contact as much as possible when requesting information concerning the progress of the Ultrio Development Program. Confidentiality will be maintained in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Agreement, and disclosure of any information under this Section 2.4.1 shall be governed by that certain Confidentiality and Joint Interest Agreement, by and between the parties, dated as of October 30, 2001.

2.4.2 Project Manager. The project associated with development of the Ultrio Assay Product will be managed under a Project Manager, the responsibilities of which are described in Section 2.4.3. The Ultrio Development Program will be managed by a Project Manager appointed by Gen-Probe. As of the Addendum Effective Date, the Project Manager shall be [***]. Any change by Gen-Probe of the Project Manager must be approved by the Supervisory Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

2.4.3 Project Manager's Responsibilities. The Project Manager shall be responsible for the following activities, together with such other activities as the parties may agree:

(a) Managing all matters relating to the Ultrio Development Program under this Ultrio Addendum, including each party's respective responsibilities and contributions and receiving reports from the Project Leaders;

Either party may elect to terminate participation in the Ultrio Development Program under the provisions of Section 8.4 below if the requested modification is a Material Modification, determined in accordance with Section 3.2.1. If neither party terminates under Sections 8.3 or 8.4 below, then neither party may unreasonably withhold approval of any request for modification of the Ultrio Development Program.

(b) If neither party terminates under Sections 8.3 or 8.4 below, then the parties shall thereafter finalize such modified Ultrio Development Program, using the provisions of this Section 3.3.4(b), as follows:

(i) Each party shall, within [***] following completion of the consultation and review under paragraph (a), deliver to the other party either a written approval of the proposed modified Ultrio Development Program or a detailed written statement specifying the basis for rejection. Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The

requesting party may, in response to a rejection, revise the proposed modified Ultrio Development Program to reflect the discussions of the parties, and redeliver the revised proposed modified Ultrio Development Program for further review, until the parties agree upon the Material Modification. Either party may, in its discretion and with notice to the other party, determine that the parties have reached an impasse with respect to any proposed Material Modification and deliver the request to the Supervisory Board for determination.

(ii) If a party delivers the request to the Supervisory Board for determination, the Supervisory Board shall promptly, but not later than the later of (i) [***] of a requested modified Ultrio Development Program, or (ii) [***], meet and discuss the proposed Material Modification to Ultrio Development Program.

(iii) If the Supervisory Board has met and consulted without resolution, then either party may, in its discretion, determine that the parties have reached an impasse with respect to any proposed modification and implement the escalation procedure described in Article 13 of the Agreement to resolve such impasse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Ultrio Addendum or the Agreement, all Material Modifications, whether agreed or determined through arbitration, shall be finally determined and documented in accordance with this Section 3.3. Where one party has rejected a proposed modified Ultrio Development Program, the sole question to be presented in any arbitration is whether that party unreasonably withheld its approval.

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

3.4 Notice of Significant Changes. Each party will give [***] notice to the other party prior to any proposal of a significant reduction or increase in resources from the then-current Resource Plan in order to allow the parties time to divert resources either to or from the Ultrio Development Program. Any significant changes to the Budget or the Resource Plan shall be effective only upon the expiration of [***] from the delivery of such notice, unless the parties both agree to a shorter period of time in writing.

4. Changes to Ultrio Assay Product after Completion Date.

4.1 Process. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3, the parties recognize that from time to time during the term hereof the market may demand or regulatory changes may require that special enhancements or modifications be made to the Ultrio Assay Product, and that either party may desire to adopt such changes. From and after the Completion Date, each party will notify the Supervisory Board promptly upon receipt of a request from a customer, or upon identification of regulatory changes that may require the parties to implement any enhancement, modification or other change to the Ultrio Assay Product. The Supervisory Board shall promptly, but not later than the latter of (i) [***] for such changes to the Ultrio Assay Product, or (ii) [***],

meet and consult with respect to such requested change. The Supervisory Board shall decide (i) whether the requested changes should be implemented; and (ii) whether the requested changes can be implemented under the terms of this Ultrio Addendum or are significant enough to warrant a new Development Program under the terms of Article 3 of the Agreement, in which case the parties shall use the process more particularly described in Section 3.2 of the Agreement.

4.2 Additional Work under Addendum. If the Supervisory Board determines that the changes are sufficiently minor that they can be implemented under this Ultrio Addendum, then the parties shall implement the process more particularly described in Section 3.3 above, and the Supervisory Board may approve a new Ultrio Development Program, consisting of a new modified Product Requirements Document, Software Requirements Specifications, Technical Plan, Resource Plan and Budget, for the purpose of developing such changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate either party to conduct development work after the Completion Date with respect to the Ultrio Assay Product, without regard to whether the other party indicates a willingness to pay some portion or the entire costs of such development.

5. Ultrio Development Costs.

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

5.2 Definition and Calculation of Ultrio Development Costs; [***]. "Ultrio Development Cost" with respect to the Ultrio Development Program means the fully-burdened cost of conducting the research and development (including clinical trials and domestic and international regulatory submissions) of the Ultrio Assay Product, and shall include [***]. "Ultrio Development Costs" shall not include [***]. Costs will be calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied ("U.S. GAAP"), or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the parties.

5.2.1 Ultrio Development Costs; FTE Labor Rate.

(a) In lieu of accounting specifically for and receiving direct reimbursement for certain Ultrio Development Costs, the parties have agreed to include reimbursement for those certain categories of Ultrio Development Costs within an agreed-upon labor rate for full time equivalent personnel (the "FTE Labor Rate"). Those categories of "Ultrio Development Costs" included within the FTE Labor Rate are those costs more particularly described on Schedule 5, in paragraph 2 entitled "Ultrio Development Costs included within FTE Labor Rate". Neither party shall be reimbursed separately for Ultrio Development Costs included within FTE Labor Rate. Those categories of "Ultrio Development Costs" not included within the FTE Labor Rate are those costs more particularly described on Schedule 5, in paragraph 3 entitled "Ultrio Development Costs not included within FTE Labor Rate". Each party shall be reimbursed separately for Ultrio Development Costs not included within FTE Labor Rate.

(b) The FTE Labor Rate in effect as of the Addendum Effective Date is set forth in paragraph 1 on the attached Schedule 5, and is included in the Resource Plan and reflected in the Budget. Each year the parties will evaluate and re-set a FTE Labor Rate for the Budget for the new calendar year based on the parties' budgets for the then-current calendar year and consistent with the requirements of Section 5.2.1(d) below.

In the event the parties shall not have agreed upon a new FTE Labor Rate before commencement of a calendar year, the parties shall use the rate in effect during the immediately preceding calendar year for billing purposes, subject to "true-up" (using the same methodology as described in Section 5.2.1(e) below) at such time as the FTE Labor Rate for the then-current calendar year has been agreed.

(c) In addition to the annual reset described in Section 5.2.1(b) above, either party shall have the right to request a change in the FTE Labor Rate reflected on the attached Schedule 5 to be applied on a prospective basis under the approval process set forth in Section 3. Acceptance of such request for modification shall be governed by Section 3.3.4 of this Ultrio Addendum.

(d) In addition to the foregoing, throughout the term of this Ultrio Addendum:

(i) each party shall have the same FTE Labor Rate applicable to it as is applied to the other party, subject to any agreed modifications; and

(ii) in the event either party requests a modification to the FTE Labor Rate hereunder, the modified FTE Labor Rate shall be calculated using the same methodology as that used to calculate the FTE Labor Rate in effect as of the Addendum Effective Date. The methodology used to calculate the FTE Labor Rate in effect as of the Addendum Effective Date is described on the attached Schedule 5.2.3, entitled "Ultrio Development Costs Calculation Methodology".

(e) In the event aggregate actual Ultrio Development Costs that are reimbursed through the FTE Labor Rate exceeded, or fell short of, the agreed FTE Labor Rate reflected in the Budget (as agreed to in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2.1(b) above) for such calendar year, the parties will "true-up" such reimbursement annually in accordance with this Section 5.2.1(e). [***] during the term hereof, each Gen-Probe will calculate and deliver to Chiron an accounting of the actual expenditures made by Gen-Probe for those costs more particularly described on Schedule 5, in paragraph 2 entitled "Ultrio Development Costs included within FTE Labor Rate" and compare them to the amounts reimbursed through the FTE Labor Rate in such year. Each party will have [***] in which to meet and agree upon a final FTE Labor Rate for such year (the "Final FTE Labor Rate") which more closely approximates the actual labor rate experienced by each party. If necessary Chiron will travel to Gen-Probe in order to complete the review in these timeframes. Each party shall have the same Final FTE Labor Rate applicable to it as is applied to the other party, subject to any agreed modifications. If the parties disagree on a Final FTE Labor Rate, such disagreement shall be addressed by the Supervisory Board and, if necessary, by implementation of the escalation procedure described in Article 13 of the Agreement, excluding arbitration. In the event that one party received less than the Final FTE Labor Rate, such party shall be entitled to receive from the other party an amount equal to [***] of the difference between the actual Ultrio Development Costs included within the FTE Labor Rate and the reimbursed Ultrio Development Costs included within the FTE Labor Rate; similarly, in the event that one party received more than the Final FTE Labor Rate, such party shall be required to reimburse the other party in an amount equal to [***] of the difference between the actual Ultrio Development Costs included within the FTE Labor Rate and the reimbursed Ultrio Development Costs included within the FTE Labor Rate.

(f) Ultrio Development Costs not included within the FTE Labor Rate shall be budgeted and trued-up under the same terms as the FTE Labor Rate.

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

5.2.3 Methodology. Attached hereto as Schedule 5.2.3 is a detailed methodology for the calculation of the Ultrio Development Costs, including costs reimbursed through the FTE Labor rate and significant external costs, as defined in this Section 5.2. The parties shall use such methodology for the purpose of invoicing and payment more particularly described in Section 5.3 below.

5.3 Payment of Ultrio Development Costs. In addition to the provisions of Article 7 of the Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

5.3.1 Accrued Ultrio Development Costs. Each party has already incurred, prior to the date of execution of this Ultrio Addendum, certain Ultrio Development Costs. To the extent that one party has paid more than its [***] share of the aggregate Ultrio Development Costs incurred prior to and until the date of execution of this Ultrio Addendum, net of NIH Monies, the other party will reimburse such party for [***] the Ultrio Development Costs paid by that party and [***] of the aggregate Ultrio Development Costs incurred prior to and until the date of execution of this Ultrio Addendum. Attached to this Ultrio Addendum as Schedule 5.3.1 is a summary of the Ultrio Development Costs incurred by the parties prior to the execution of this Ultrio Addendum, which includes an itemized summary of the NIH Monies received prior to the execution of this Ultrio Addendum.

5.3.2 [***] Budgeted Payments. Each party's respective [***] share of Ultrio Development Costs (after NIH Monies are applied) will be paid on a [***] in an amount equal to the amount reflected in Budget for that [***]. The Budget sets forth the parties' anticipated expenditures and FTE Labor amounts for Ultrio Development Costs for [***] during the term of the Ultrio Development Program in the line item entitled "Total Project GP" and "Total Project Chiron," respectively. The line items entitled "GP Payment to Chiron" and "Chiron Payment to GP" in the Budget identify (i) the amount by which Chiron and Gen-Probe, respectively, are anticipated to incur Ultrio Development Costs in excess of their respective [***] share (the "negative delta"), and (ii) the party who is required to make the reimbursement payment. [***] during the term of the Ultrio Development Program, Gen-Probe will invoice Chiron the amount of such negative delta net of any credits or additional charges against amounts previously paid that have been agreed to by the Project Management prior to the date on which Gen-Probe rendered the invoice. Attached hereto as Schedule 5.3.2 is an example of this payment methodology.

5.3.3 [***] True-Up Payments. At the end of [***], each party will calculate the actual FTE Labor hours expended on the Ultrio development Program during [***]. The Project Leaders will review these actual FTE Labor hours compare them to the Budget for the applicable [***]. In the event that one party expended more than [***] share of actual FTE Labor hours or Ultrio Development Costs not included in the FTE Labor hours during the [***] then ended, taking into account all payments made under Section 5.3.2, the parties shall calculate the cost of such negative delta using the agreed FTE Labor Rate and Gen-Probe will adjust the next invoice issued to Chiron in the amount of such credit or additional charge on or before the expiration of [***] after the end of the applicable [***]. Attached hereto as Schedule 5.3.3 is an example of this true-up methodology.

5.3.4 Invoices. Each party will invoice the other for the amounts described in this Section 5.3 and all invoices will be due and payable [***] from the date of the invoice. In the event payment is not received within such period, the delinquent party shall pay a service

charge if billed, equal to the amount overdue multiplied by the [***], but not exceeding the maximum allowable rate.

5.4 Dispute. Neither party shall unilaterally invoice the other in advance for more than the amount reflected in the then-current Budget in a given period nor withhold payments of the amount reflected in the then-current Budget. Either party may, in its discretion, determine that the parties have reached an impasse with respect to a particular Budget item, the invoicing or payment of same, and implement the escalation procedure described in Article 13 of the Agreement to resolve such impasse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party may withhold payment of [***] budgeted payments under Section 5.3.2, cease development work or otherwise impede the progress of the Ultrio Development Program by reason of such dispute.

5.5 Right to Audit and Verify. Each party is entitled to review, evaluate, and in its discretion independently verify the basis of and actual expenditures incurred by the other party for which such party requests reimbursement as Ultrio Development Costs hereunder, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3 of the Agreement, including without limitation actual expenditures and amounts received as NIH Monies after the Addendum Effective Date but prior to the execution of this Ultrio Addendum.

Chiron shall be entitled to reimbursement of such amounts paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.5.3 below. In the event, however, that Chiron shall elect to cease the development, marketing and sale of the Ultrio Assay Product prior to the effective commercialization thereof, then Chiron shall pay Gen-Probe [***] (meeting the definition and calculated as described in Section 5.2) incurred by Gen-Probe from and after the effective date of termination for breach under Section 8.2 or the date of receipt from Gen-Probe of the withdrawal notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Ultrio Addendum, which additional amount the parties agree will compensate Gen-Probe for the resources committed by Gen-Probe to the Ultrio Development Program which did not result in an effectively commercialized Ultrio Assay Product. Chiron shall pay such additional amount promptly upon ceasing such development, as permitted under Section 3.2.1(c) of the Agreement.

(c) In addition to Section 8.5.2(a), if the Continuing Party is Gen-Probe, in the event that Gen-Probe shall elect to cease the development, marketing and sale of the

Ultrio Assay Product prior to the effective commercialization thereof, then Gen-Probe shall pay Chiron [***] as approved in the commercialization budget under Section 6.4 to be incurred prior to the effective commercialization of the Ultrio Assay Product. Gen-Probe shall pay such additional amount promptly upon ceasing such development, as permitted under Section 3.2.1(c) of the Agreement.

8.5.3 Reimbursement of Development Costs. The party electing to continue development under the terms of Section 8.5 shall be deemed to be the party who "wishes to develop the Future Blood Screening Assay" described in Section 3.2.1(c) of the Agreement. The provisions of Section 3.2.1(c) and the provisions of Section 3.2.3(b)(i) of the Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties from and after the effective date of termination under Section 8.2 or the effective date of withdrawal under Section 8.4 of the Ultrio Development Program as a joint development program under this Ultrio Addendum, except Section 3.2.1(b) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following.

"b. In the case of a Future Blood Screening Product which is funded by one party pursuant to Section 3.2.1(c) of the Agreement and Section 8.5 of the Ultrio Addendum, such party shall be solely responsible for all Development Costs of such Future Blood Screening Assay and be entitled to reimbursement of the portion of the total Development Costs incurred after the effective date of termination under Section 8.2 or the effective date of withdrawal under Section 8.4, as the case may be (the "Post-Withdrawal Development Costs"), as follows:

i. If the funding party is Gen-Probe, Chiron shall [***]. Thereafter, Net Sales shall be paid as provided under Section 3.2.7 of the Agreement.

ii. If the funding party is Chiron, Chiron shall pay to Gen-Probe [***]. Thereafter, Net Sales shall be paid as provided under Section 3.2.7 of the Agreement.

iii. The parties agree that the funding party is entitled to a preferential return on the Post-Withdrawal Development Costs incurred by the funding party, as a reasonable return for the additional risk incurred by the funding party, in an amount equal to [***] on the Post-Withdrawal Development Costs actually incurred by the funding party from the date incurred until the date on which such Post-Withdrawal Development Costs are reimbursed from Ultrio Assay Product revenues pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b)(i) above or Section 3.2.1(b)(ii) above, as applicable."

8.5.4 Control of the Program upon Unilateral Funding. The Continuing Party shall have the right to appoint the Project Manager from and after the effective date of termination under Section 8.2 or the effective date of withdrawal under Section 8.4. The Continuing Party shall have the right to make such Material Modifications to the Ultrio Development Program that it deems necessary or prudent in its reasonable discretion, without the acceptance of the other party as otherwise required under Section 3.3.4 of this Ultrio Addendum. Notwithstanding the above, the Continuing Party shall remain obligated to provide the other party with a copy of the Ultrio Development Program, and all notice and reporting obligations set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect.

8.5.5 Rights under Agreement. Except as expressly modified by this Section 8.5, the parties shall retain all rights and obligations allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, without respect to which party is the Continuing Party, Gen-Probe shall have the exclusive right and obligation to conduct the development work and to manufacture the Ultrio Assay Product; Chiron shall have the exclusive right to promote, market and sell the Ultrio Assay Product and the parties shall have their respective

rights under Section 3.2.8 of the Agreement, all as is more particularly described in the Agreement unaffected in any way by the withdrawal from the Ultrio Development Program.

9. Escalation.

9.1 Escalation Process.

Description of Ultrio Assay Product

The Ultrio triplex assay is an in -vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the qualitative detection of human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) RNA, hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, and/or hepatitis C virus(HCV) RNA in human plasma for use in the Blood Screening Field. The Ultrio triplex assay will not discriminate between HIV-1, HBV and HCV infection. The Ultrio assay is to be developed to run initially on the Procleix semi-automated instrument (eSAS).

HIV-1, HBV and HCV discriminatory Probe reagents are in -vitro nucleic acid amplification tests for the qualitative detection of the specified virus and are provided with the Ultrio triplex assay as part of the Ultrio Assay Product for use in discriminating between HIV-1, HBV and HCV in plasma following a positive result from the Ultrio triplex assay.

For purposes of the foregoing Addendum, all of the Ultrio triplex assay and the associated discriminatory probe reagents are included within the definition of the "Ultrio Assay Product."
