                    13.  MedChem [P.R.] Plant.  The parties                           
               acknowledge and agree that, during the term of this                    
               Agreement, MedChem [P.R.] will take steps designed to                  
               establish alternative facilities (the “MedChem [P.R.]                  
               Plant”) that will enable MedChem [P.R.] to undertake                   
               the Conversion Process.  In connection with the                        
               establishment of the MedChem [P.R.] Plant, MedChem                     
               [P.R.] shall bear the costs of removing the Equipment                  
               from the Humacao Plant, including, but not limited to,                 
               the costs of repairing any damage to the Humacao Plant                 
               caused by such removal.  Alcon [P.R.] covenants that it                
               will provide reasonable assistance to MedChem [P.R.] in                
               establishing the MedChem [P.R.] Plant, including                       
               training of the Humacao Plant Manager and other                        
               appropriate MedChem [P.R.] personnel in all aspects of                 
               the Conversion Process.  In this regard, appropriate                   
               MedChem [P.R.] employees shall have the right, during                  
               the term of this Agreement, to observe with regard to                  
               the Conversion Process carried out by Alcon [P.R.] at                  
               the Humacao Plant.  However, such MedChem [P.R.]                       
               employees will not participate in Alcon[ P.R.]’s                       
               management process.  In addition, upon the construction                
               of the MedChem [P.R.] Plant, Alcon [P.R.] will assist                  
               with the validation of three initial Avitene production                
               batches of each Avitene product produced at the MedChem                
               [P.R.] Plant.  When MedChem [P.R.] has successfully                    
               established the necessary machinery, equipment and                     
               quality control procedures, implemented the Conversion                 
               Process at the MedChem [P.R.] Plant and, in the sole                   
               opinion of MedChem [P.R.], conducted satisfactory                      
               validation tests and received all applicable
