B.

IMed is a company presently engaged in developing and commercializing a wearable, dry-electrode, wireless GSM-enabled ECG Monitor (the "Device").


C.

The parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on May 30TH, 2014 (the "MOU") confirming the parties' intent to close a series of transactions prior to the end of September, 2014, related to acquiring access to certain CCS software as an essential component of a joint venture between the parties.


D.

This Software Development and Services Agreement was contemplated in the MOU.


THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein, and of other consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by each party), the parties agree as follows:


1.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR DELIVERY OF SERVICES.


1.1

This Software Development and Services Agreement which, together with all Exhibits, Addenda, the attached Statement of Work (the "SOW" a summary of which is attached as Exhibit A), any Purchase Orders as defined below and other attachments and documents referenced and expressly incorporated herein, are collectively referred to herein as the "SDA") provides the terms and conditions under which CCS agrees to provide services (the "Services") to IMed. Nothing in this SDA shall be construed as requiring IMed to purchase any additional service from CCS. The only commitments to purchase shall be as set forth in this SDA or one or more purchase orders that flow from the SOW as may be executed by an authorized representative of each party from time to time (each a "Purchase Order").

IMed reserves the right to accept or reject any CCS Change Order quotes. CCS is not obligated to perform any Change Order to the Statement of Work where IMed has not approved the associated Change Order cost adjustment.

STATEMENT OF WORK SUMMARY

____________________________________________________________________________


This Statement of Work summary ("SOW") summary incorporates the terms and conditions of the Software License and Services Agreement (the "SDA"), dated September 15 2014, by and between CardioComm Solutions, Inc. ("CCS") and iMedical Innovation Inc. ("IMed"). To the extent this SOW conflicts with or is inconsistent with the terms of the SDA, this SOW shall govern.


This SDA shall encompass development by CCS of a software solution (the "Custom Software") for the management and review of ECGs recorded and transmitted by a wearable, dry-electrode, wireless GSM-enabled ECG Monitoring device (the "Device") to be developed by IMed. CardioComm will develop the Custom Software on a global, exclusive basis for this Device and any derivative products as a work-for-hire whereby any work product produced by CardioComm specifically for the Device shall be the sole property and for the exclusive benefit of IMed. For greater certainty, nothing herein shall be construed as transferring ownership of either the "[Subject to a request for confidential treatment; Separately filed with the Commission]™'' or "[Subject to a request for confidential treatment; Separately filed with the Commission]™" platforms, which are exclusive products of CCS. IMed shall own the source code for the Custom Software subject to the terms herein.


PART A: OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES.


1)

Customized Software Development and Associated Fees.


(i)

CCS and IMed confirm that CCS has been working with Sensor Mobility since March 2013, to develop a Device and Custom Software offering with the aim to enter into the MCT ECG monitoring service in the USA and wireless ECG monitoring service globally.


(ii)

It is acknowledged that CCS will be using its currently available technologies to fulfill this requirement in multiple phases over the 2014 and 2015 calendar years. It is understood that CCS will be developing the Custom Software under an anticipated [Subject to a request for confidential treatment; Separately filed with the Commission]™" and [Subject to a request for confidential treatment; Separately filed with the Commission] ECG viewer SDK version license specifically to meet the requirements of this integration. The Custom Software shall not require the separate licensing of any other CCS software by IMed.


(iii)

Within Sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, but in any event forthwith after receipt of a non-refundable initiation payment CCS equivalent to [Subject to a request for confidential treatment; Separately filed with the Commission] percent ([Subject to a request for confidential

treatment; Separately filed with the Commission]%) of the proposed SOW budget, CCS shall begin development of a detailed SOW for the Custom Software which will enable an IMed Device, where the Device and Custom Software will meet the requirements for mobile cardiac telemetry ("MCT") billing services in the United States of America.



For the purposes of this SDA "MCT" means a service eligible to be reimbursed under the USA CPT and Medicare billing codes noted below, or as same may be amended, enlarged or modified in the future including for billing codes that offer the same services as are noted below:


Code 93228 defined as: External mobile cardiovascular telemetry with electrocardiographic recording, concurrent computerized real time data analysis and greater than 24 hours of accessible ECG data storage (retrievable with query) with ECG triggered and patient selected events transmitted to a remote attended surveillance center for up to 30 days; physician review and interpretation with report; and,


Code 93229 defined as: External mobile cardiovascular telemetry with electrocardiographic recording, concurrent computerized real time data analysis and greater than 24 hours of accessible ECG data storage (retrievable with query).

(v)

CCS will work to complete the Custom Software such that it is in compliance with the requirements for inclusion in a Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") 510K medical device clearance application (the "Application"). CCS may assist IMed in the Application under separate agreement or under a mutually executed Purchase Order.


(vi)

CCS agrees that the preferred date for completion of the Custom Software shall be on or before December 31, 2015. IMed shall be provided a copy of the Custom Software source code and associated documentation (free and clear of any encumbrances) at completion of the sow.
