and commercial milestones in international markets. Schering-Plough will also provide promotional support for the product in international markets. All sales of the HCV test will be made by OraSure, and OraSure will retain the rights to market and sell the test in all markets throughout the world. During the collaboration period, the test may, at Schering-Plough's option, be labeled and promoted under both Schering-Plough and OraSure trademarks.

Schering-Plough is committed to advancing the science and treatment of hepatitis C, both in terms of its internal research and development programs, and by collaborating with other companies. In addition, Schering-Plough is committed to supporting hepatitis C patients through its leading disease awareness, education and service programs.

Approximately 170 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis C worldwide and there are approximately 3 to 4 million new HCV infections each year on a global basis. Chronic hepatitis C can cause cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. About half of all cases of primary liver cancer in the developed world are caused by hepatitis C, and hepatitis C related liver disease is now the leading cause for liver transplants. Most people who develop chronic hepatitis C infection are not aware that they have the disease.
