Boston Biomedica Inc. — Agreement

This Agreement is entered into as of the 7th day of July, 2003, between Boston Biomedica Inc. (“the Company”) and Richard T. Schumacher (“Schumacher”).

WHEREAS, Schumacher has proposed two nominees for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and is willing to withdraw such nominations and not proceed with any proxy solicitation for such Annual Meeting of Stockholders in consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties as follows:

1. Board of Directors. Upon expiration of the term of Fran Capitanio as a member of the Board, he will not stand for reelection. The Board, following a further review and consideration of the qualifications of R. Wayne Fritzsche and Russell B. Richerson as candidates to fill the vacancy, will select one of these individuals as the nominee of the Board to fill the vacancy on the Board left by Fran Capitanio. The Company currently anticipates holding its 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders before the end of September 2003.

2. Proxy Solicitation. By entering into this Agreement, Schumacher hereby withdraws his two nominees for election to the Board for the Company’s 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or special meeting in lieu thereof. Schumacher shall not proceed with or undertake any proxy solicitation for such Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or special meeting in lieu thereof, provided that the Company has complied with all of its agreements with Schumacher.

3. Disclosure. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Schumacher shall amend his Schedule 13D filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the withdrawal of his nominees for election as directors for the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and his agreement not to proceed with the solicitation of any proxies for such meeting. He shall submit such amendment to Schedule 13D to the Company for its review and comment prior to filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company shall issue a press release to announce Schumacher’s amendment to his Schedule 13D. The Company shall promptly submit the press release to Schumacher for his review and approval prior to release to the public.

4. Right to Injunction. The parties hereto acknowledge that the actions to be taken by Schumacher under this Agreement, the rights and privileges granted to the Company under the Agreement, the benefits to be received by Schumacher and the obligations of the Company hereunder are of a special, unique, unusual, and extraordinary character which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in any action at law, and the breach by either party of any of the provisions of this Agreement will cause the other irreparable injury and damage. The parties expressly agree that each party shall be entitled to

injunctive and other equitable relief in the event of, or to prevent, a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party. Resort to such equitable relief, however, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies that such party may have for damages or otherwise. The various rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement or otherwise shall be construed to be cumulative, and no one of the them shall be exclusive of any other or of any right or remedy allowed by law.

5. Successors and Assigns. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, if any, successors, and assigns, provided, however, Schumacher shall not assign any of his rights under this Agreement, or delegate the performance of any of his duties hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Company.

6. Choice of Law. The laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.

7. Arbitration. Any controversies arising out of the terms of this Agreement or its interpretation shall be settled in Massachusetts in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the judgment upon award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

8. Headings. Section headings are not to be considered a part of this Agreement and are not intended to be a full and accurate description of the contents hereof.

9. Waiver. No failure or delay by either part in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right or any other right under this Agreement. Waiver by one party hereto of breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver.

10. Notices. Any and all notices, demands, or other communications required or desired to be given hereunder by any party shall be in writing and shall be validly given or made to another party if personally served, or if deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.
