(hereinafter "CTI"), having a place of business at 810 Innovation Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee 37933. Either STC or CTI may hereinafter be individually referred to as a "Party" or collectively as the "Parties"; and WHEREAS, STC represents that it has invented and developed certain intellectual property hereinafter referred to as "LSO Patent Rights" and "Lutetium Oxyorthosilicate Technology" ("LSO Technology"), each hereinafter defined, useful in detecting and measuring gamma ray spectra; and WHEREAS, CTI desires to obtain from STC, and STC is willing to grant CTI certain exclusive patent and technology license rights with respect to the LSO Patent Rights and the LSO Technology. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions and provisions hereinafter set forth, the sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1.0 Definitions 1.1 LSO means crystalline cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate as described in US Patent No. 4,958,080 and in US Patent Application Serial No. 08/330,051. 1.2 LSO PATENTS means the patents and applications listed in Schedule A. 1.3 LSO TECHNOLOGY means the reports, documents and papers listed in Schedule B. 1.4 AFFILIATE means any business entity that is owned or controlled by, or owns or controls a Party to this Agreement, or that is owned or controlled by the business entity which owns or controls a Party. Ownership, direct or indirect, of at least fifty percent of the voting stock ordinarily entitled to vote in the election of directors of a business entity or, if no such stock is issued, of at least fifty percent of the ownership interest in the business entity, shall constitute ownership thereof. An Affiliate shall not be considered to be a third party under this Agreement. 1.5 STC RETAINED USE means any and all uses of LSO, LSO Patents and LSO Technology in the fields of oil well logging, logging-while-drilling or formation evaluation, either in the form of apparatus or tools offered for sale or lease to third parties or as a service performed on behalf of third parties. 1 1.6 SUB-LICENSEE means any party other than STC, CTI and their Affiliates which is licensed by CTI to make use of the LSO Patents and LSO Technology outside the STC Retained Use. 1.7 LICENSED SALES means sales of LSO not incorporated into any form of device or apparatus to third parties for use other than the STC Retained Use. 1.8 LICENSED USE means any use of LSO in a device or apparatus which is to be sold or leased to a third party or operated for a third party for money or money's worth. 1.9 GROSS VOLUME means the volume of LSO manufactured by or for CTI, its Affiliates or Sub-Licensees for further processing thereby prior to incorporation into devices or apparatus within the scope of the Licensed Use. It is recognized that in the process of preparing LSO to be incorporated into a device or apparatus within the scope of Licensed Use, scrappage will be generated. Such scrappage will not be included in the Gross Volume. 1.10 MANUFACTURING COST means the actual or deemed cost per unit volume of LSO comprising the Gross Volume. An example of an actual cost is the cost invoiced by a manufacturer. An example of a deemed cost is the calculated cost when a party manufactures on its own behalf. 2.0 License Grants 2.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, STC hereby grants to CTI and its Affiliates an exclusive and non-transferable (except as otherwise provided herein) right and license under the LSO Patents to make and have made and use world-wide materials and methods covered by such LSO Patents.

To fulfill its obligations in this respect, STC will make available personnel from Schlumberger-Doll Research (SDR) until December 31st, 1995 for meetings and technical support as detailed below. The combined total length of time for this SDR personnel will be available to CTI is two man months. Meetings: SDR and CTI personnel will meet at mutually agreeable locations to: (a) observe and discuss crystal growth equipment; (b) discuss LSO crystal growth parameters and procedures; and (c) observe and verify that the LSO crystal growth protocol has been properly implemented. Technical Support: If deemed necessary to ensure the success of this Agreement, SDR will, upon request from CTI: (a) provide seeds and/or boules from which seeds can be cut; (b) provide some parts for seed holder; (c) analyze samples from initial boules grown at CREOL and/or CTI to determine crystal quality and scintillation properties; (d) grow at least one boule from standard 4N Lu2O3 supplied by CTI for comparison with boules grown at CREOL and/or CTI; (e) grow at least one boule from Lu2O3 purified by CCTI; and (f) analyze and compare properties of crystals grown by CTI and SDR from the same raw material. 17 SCHEDULE C

ADDENDUM NO. 1 TO EXCLUSIVE PATENT AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT This ADDENDUM NO. 1 to Exclusive Patent and Technology License Agreement is made and entered into this 5th day of December, 1995, effective as of February 1, 1995, by and between Schlumberger Technology Corporation (hereinafter "STC") and CTI, Inc. (hereinafter "CTI"). WHEREAS, STC and CTI made and entered into an Exclusive Patent and Technology License Agreement effective February 1, 1995 (the "License Agreement") pursuant to which STC granted to CTI certain rights with respect to Lutetium Oxyorthosilicate Patent Rights and Technology ("LSO Patent Rights" and "LSO Technology", respectively); and WHEREAS, STC and CTI wish to clarify their intention and agreement with respect to certain provisions of the License Agreement and the meaning of such provisions. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions and provisions of the License Agreement and the terms, conditions and provisions hereinafter set forth, the sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, STC and CTI hereby agree as follows: A. At the time of the execution of the License Agreement, it was the intention of STC and CTI, and STC and CTI hereby confirm and agree, that the License Grants Section of the License Agreement, Section 2.0 thereof, and in particular paragraphs 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 thereof, do not grant to any Affiliates of CTI any rights in the LSO Patents and LSO Technology unless and until CTI shall extend the rights under the LSO Patents and LSO Technology to an Affiliate and such Affiliate shall execute an agreement in writing on a form to be provided or approved by STC, to be bound by the terms of the License Agreement as if such Affiliate had entered into the License Agreement with STC, and a copy of such agreement shall be furnished to STC. B. As clarified by this Addendum No. 1, the License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
