assist the Buyer’s efforts to integrate the Mammography Intellectual Property into the operations of the Buyer. Nothing herein shall be read to require or otherwise obligate the Seller to continue the employment of any of the Mammography Employees before or after the Closing Date.

Section 1.8 Allocation of Purchase Price.

As soon as practicable after the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare a memorandum setting forth an allocation of the Purchase Price payable by Buyer for the Mammography Intellectual Property acquired pursuant hereto among each item of the Mammography Intellectual Property.

Seller is duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where it is required to be licensed or qualified to conduct its business or own its property except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or in good standing would not have a material adverse effect upon (i) the Seller’s ability to transfer the Mammography Intellectual Property to the Buyer at the Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof including, without limitation, the ability to transfer the Mammography

Intellectual Property free and clear of any Encumbrance (as such term is defined in Section 2.10), (ii) the Buyer’s right to use, practice, license, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Mammography Intellectual Property as contemplated hereby and to exclude any third party from any use, practice, license, or sale of the Mammography Intellectual Property from and after the Closing Date other than as specifically contemplated under the terms of the license agreement contained in Section 5A.1 hereof, or (iii) the Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof (a “Mammography Intellectual Property Material Adverse Effect”).

This Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by the Seller pursuant to, or as contemplated by, this Agreement constitute, or when executed and delivered will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

The EES Distributor Agreement also provides that if, for whatever reason, whether during or after the term of the Distributor Agreement, Seller cannot provide specified product service to the customers of EES or abandons the market, EES has the option of assuming the right to provide customers of EES with product service for the Products and can force Seller to transfer relevant service records, manuals, licenses, product drawings, component specifications, technical know-how and access to sources of supply.

Such notice shall be made in writing and shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the offeror and the terms and conditions of such proposal, inquiry or contact.

Section 5.7 Notification of Certain Matters.

Buyer will give prompt notice to Seller, and Seller will give prompt notice to Buyer, of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, which occurrence or failure to occur would be reasonably likely to cause (a) any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time from the date of this Agreement to the Closing, or (b) any material failure of Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or of any officer, director, employee or agent thereof, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or imply any obligation on the part of Buyer to provide any continuing employment right to any individual on or after the Closing. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict or otherwise limit the Buyer’s ability to hire the employees or former employees of the Seller.

Section 5.9 Post-Closing Contractual Arrangements. From and after the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 5.9:

ARTICLE VA. LICENSE AGREEMENT

Section 5A.1. License.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer grants to Seller a non-exclusive limited license to use the items of the Mammography Intellectual Property necessary in order to enable Seller to (i) fulfill its obligations to supply Mammography Products to Philips Medical Systems DMC GmbH (together with its parent corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, “Philips”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Master Purchasing Agreement between the Seller and Philips dated October 14, 2004 (the “Philips Supply Agreement”) during the period following the Closing Date until the earlier to occur of the date such agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof or October 14, 2007 (such date, the “Philips Termination Date”), (ii) fulfill its obligations to supply Mammography Products to Ethicon Endo-Surgery (EES) Europe, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Inc. (together with its parent corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, “EES”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement dated October 10, 1997, between the Seller and EES with Addendum dated January 28, 1998, and Addendum dated February 2, 2002 (collectively, the “EES Purchase Agreement”), that certain Distributor Agreement dated December 9, 1998, between the Seller and EES with Addendum dated December 8, 2000 and Addendum dated February 21, 2003 (collectively the “EES Distributor Agreement”), and that certain Non-Exclusive Distributorship Agreement dated October 10, 2002, between the Seller and EES (the “EES Distributorship Agreement” and together with the EES Purchase Agreement and the EES Distributor Agreement, the “EES Agreements”) during the period following the Closing Date until the earlier to occur of the date such agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof or October 10, 2006 (such date, the “EES Termination Date”), (iii) fulfill existing agreements or renew, extend or enter into new agreements, relating exclusively to the Seller’s service business with respect to the previously installed Mammography Products (collectively, the “Service and Warranty Obligations”), provided however, that the license granted pursuant to this Section 5A(a)(iii) shall not be construed to permit the Seller to perform any Upgrades to the Mammography Products, and (iv) perform any Permitted Upgrades, and (v) carry out the RE&S Activities. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “RE&S Activities” means the Seller’s business of researching,

designing, developing, manufacturing, distributing, servicing, licensing and selling radiology, electrophysiology, and surgery systems and products and technology related to such systems and products, including without limitation, its VersaRAd, EPX/SPX and Bloom product lines or components thereof; provided, that RE&S Activities shall not include any aspects of the Mammography Business, Mammography Products or Mammography Intellectual Property, except as specifically covered by the license set forth in Section 5A(a)(v) and specifically enumerated on Schedule 5A.1. For purposes of the foregoing, the term Permitted Upgrades Permitted Upgrades shall mean (i) any Upgrade, the provision of which does not result, directly or indirectly, in any remuneration or payment to the Seller or any affiliates of Seller, (ii) any Upgrade which the Seller reasonably determines to be necessary to ensure the safe operation of such products in accordance with applicable health and safety standards, (iii) any Upgrade which is offered or performed by the Seller for the purpose of correcting any identified bugs in the software products underlying the Mammography Products, provided that any such software bug fix merely corrects a problem and does not provide additional functionality or significant feature enhancements, (iv) with respect to the Seller’s MammoTest product line, the sale and installation of replacement cameras (whether or not manufactured by Seller) and other spare parts comprising the Seller’s MammoTest products that are primarily designed to improve the image quality, cost effectiveness and/or reliability of such products which may result from Seller’s sustaining engineering activities after the date hereof but which do not result from any product development activities performed by Seller after the Closing Date, (v) with respect to the Seller’s SenoScan product line, the sale or transfer of any spare parts which may result from Seller’s sustaining engineering activities after the date hereof but which do not result from any product development activities performed by Seller after the Closing Date, (vi) with respect to the Seller’s SenoScan product line, from and after the Closing Date until June 30, 2006, any Upgrades which are required to performed by the Seller pursuant to the SenoScan Upgrade Contract as set forth on Schedule 2.10(j) as such contracts are in effect on the date hereof and (vii) with respect to the Seller’s SenoScan product line, the sale and installation to any of the Seller’s installed customer base existing as of the Closing Date of the Senoview (the Fischer Imaging workstation) or Cedara radiologist review workstations on any SenoScan products sold prior to the Closing Date. In the event that Seller wishes to perform any Upgrade which does not otherwise fall under the foregoing definition of Permitted Upgrades, Buyer agrees to discuss the scope of such Upgrade and to reasonably consider amending the definition of Permitted Upgrades to allow Seller to perform such Upgrade. The items of the Mammography Intellectual Property necessary to enable the Seller to satisfy the foregoing purposes shall be referred to herein as the “Licensed Intellectual Property”. Schedule 5A.1 sets forth each of the items of the Mammography Intellectual Property necessary to enable the Seller to satisfy the obligations described in (iii), (iv) and (v) above and no other items of the Mammography Intellectual Property shall be licensed hereunder to the Seller pursuant to (iii), (iv) and (v) above.

(b) The license granted by Buyer to Seller to carry out the purposes enumerated in subsections (iii) and (iv) in Section 5A.1(a) may be transferred or sublicensed by Seller to no more than 10 third parties with the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not

be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that absent other substantive reasons for withholding its consent, it would be unreasonable for Buyer to withhold its consent solely because the proposed transferee or sublicense is a competitor of Buyer). In the event Seller proposes to transfer or sublicense such license in connection with the receipt of a written offer to sell or otherwise transfer all or a portion of the Seller’s continuing service and upgrade obligations as contemplated under Section 5A.1(iii) and (iv) above (the portion of the Seller’s continuing service and upgrade obligations being offered for sale by the Seller being referred to herein as the “Offered Business”), Seller shall deliver a written notice to Buyer in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof at least 20 business days prior to the consummation of the proposed sale of the Offered Business which notice shall set forth the price and principal terms and conditions of the proposed sale of the Offered Business and the identity of the proposed transferee or sublicensee (the “Seller’s Notice”). Upon receipt of the Seller’s Notice, the Buyer shall have 15 business days (the “Buyer’s Purchase Period”) to elect to purchase the Offered Business on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Seller’s Notice. The Buyer may exercise its right to purchase the Offered Business by delivering a written notice to Seller in accordance with Section 10.1 prior to the expiration of the Buyer’s Purchase Period (the “Buyer’s Notice”). Upon receipt of the Buyer’s Notice, Seller and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the sale by Seller to Buyer of the Offered Business on terms and conditions at least as favorable to the Seller as those set forth in the Seller’s Notice. If the Buyer fails to deliver the Buyer’s Notice prior to the expiration of the Buyer’s Purchase Period, the Seller may, during the 45-day period following the expiration of the Buyer’s Purchase Period, offer and sell the Offered Business to the proposed transferee or sublicense identified in the Seller’s Notice on terms and conditions at least as favorable to the Seller as those set forth in the Seller’s Notice. As a condition precedent to any transfer or sublicense of such license rights, Buyer shall be provided with a written agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and executed by the proposed transferee or sublicensee containing, at a minimum, terms and conditions relating to the use of the Mammography Intellectual Property at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 5A and acknowledging Buyer’s right to enforce the obligations of the transferee and sublicense under such agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall remain fully liable for the performance of all of the obligations of its transferee or sublicense pursuant to this Section 5A.1(b).

(c) The license granted by Buyer to Seller to carry out the purpose enumerated in subsection (v) in Section 5A.1(a) (the “RE&S License”) may be transferred by Seller to no more than 10 third parties and may be transferred only in connection with the sale of the Seller’s RE&S business or any portion thereof. As a condition precedent to any transfer, Buyer shall be provided with a written agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and executed by the proposed transferee containing, at a minimum, terms and conditions relating to the use of the Mammography Intellectual Property at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 5A and acknowledging the Buyer’s right to enforce the obligations of the transferee under such agreement.

(d) The RE&S License shall include the right to have products used in the Seller’s RE&S business as set forth on Schedule 5A.1.(d) (collectively, the “RE&S Products”) made for Seller by a third party for sale or distribution (directly or indirectly)

by Seller; only to the extent that in each such case that all of the following conditions are met:

(i)

the designs, specifications, and working drawings for the manufacture of such RE&S Products are furnished by, and originate with, Seller;

(ii)

such designs, specifications and working drawings are in sufficient detail that no material additional design by the manufacturer is required other than adaptation to the production processes and standards normally used by the manufacturer, which in each case do not materially change the characteristics of the RE&S Products; and

(iii)

the production of the RE&S Products is solely for the sale or distribution (directly or indirectly) by Seller.

Upon written request, Seller agrees to inform Buyer whether, and if so to what extent, any manufacturer is operating under the rights authorized under this Section 5A.1(d). Seller shall remain fully liable for any manufacturer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 5A.

(e) The license granted pursuant to Section 5A.1(a)(i) shall include the right to have the Seller’s SenoScan Products manufactured directly by Philips during the period from the Closing Date to the Philips Termination Date, provided that as a condition precedent to the exercise of any such right, (i) Buyer shall be provided with a written agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and executed by Philips containing, at a minimum, terms and conditions relating to the use of the Mammography Intellectual Property at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 5A, and acknowledging Buyer’s right to enforce the obligations of Philips under such agreement, and (ii) Philips and Buyer shall have entered into an amendment of the Philips Supply Agreement (and shall not have entered into any other agreements relating to the Mammography Intellectual Property except as expressly contemplated by this Section 5A.1(e)) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer that specifically provides that as of the Philips Termination Date the Philips Supply Agreement will be terminated without any further action, payment or penalty on the part of Philips or Seller and that after the Philips Termination Date Philips will have no continuing right whatsoever in the Mammography Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall remain fully liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Philips pursuant to this Section 5A.1(e).

(f) Buyer does not grant Seller any other rights with regard to the Licensed Intellectual Property and Seller shall only use the Licensed Intellectual Property as necessary to satisfy the foregoing specifically enumerated purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except in compliance with the terms and conditions of Sections 5A.1(a)(iii), (iv) and (v), and Sections 5.A.1(b), (c), (d) and (e), Seller shall not sell, market, distribute or otherwise transfer or provide any items of the Licensed

Intellectual Property to any party except for Philips pursuant to the Philips Supply Agreement, or any successor-in-interest thereto as permitted by the terms of the Philips Supply Agreement, and EES pursuant to the EES Agreements, or any successor-in-interest thereto, as permitted by the terms of the EES Agreements.

Section 5A.2 Additional Limitations and Restrictions.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Seller shall not, without the express written consent of Buyer: (i) copy all or any portion of the Licensed Intellectual Property licensed hereunder; (ii) disclose, provide, distribute or otherwise make available any item of the Licensed Intellectual Property licensed hereunder to any other person or entity or permit others to use it; (iii) rent, lease, encumber, sublicense, sell, assign or otherwise transfer any item of the Mammography Intellectual Property licensed hereunder or enter into any agreement obligating the Seller to do any of the foregoing with respect to the Mammography Intellectual Property licensed hereunder; (iv) use the Licensed Intellectual Property for any development or analysis purposes whatsoever, or (v) permit any third party to engage in any acts set forth in subsections (i) through (iv), above. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting Seller, or any customer of Seller, any right or license under any intellectual property right of Buyer by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Buyer shall retain sole and exclusive ownership of the Licensed Intellectual Property. Seller acknowledges that by virtue of this Article VA it has and shall acquire no rights in the Licensed Intellectual Property, other than the limited rights expressly granted hereunder. Seller understands and agrees that from and after the Closing Date Buyer may alter, modify, improve, adapt, further develop, enhance or create derivative works from, any items of the Mammography Intellectual Property acquired hereunder (collectively, the “Buyer’s Modifications”). Nothing contained in this Agreement gives Seller any rights with respect to any of the Buyer’s Modifications. The parties agree that a breach by Seller of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 5A.2 could cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that Buyer’s remedies at law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach, a restraining order or injunction or both may be issued against any Seller and/or any of the subsidiaries, in addition to any other rights and remedies that are available to Buyer. In connection with any such action or proceeding for injunctive relief, Seller, on behalf of itself and each of its subsidiaries, hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of this Section 5A.2 specifically enforced against such person and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against such person enforcing or restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5A.2. Any alteration, modification, improvement, adaptation, further development, enhancement or derivative works of the Licensed Intellectual Property created by the Seller or any of its transferees or sublicensees in the course of satisfying the purposes set forth in subsections (i)-(v) of Section 5A.1 shall be exclusively owned by the Buyer and Seller shall take all necessary actions and execute all relevant

documentation (including executing any assignments thereof or granting powers of attorney to the Buyer to do so) in order to transfer ownership thereof to the Buyer as shall be reasonably requested by Buyer.

Section 5A.3 Confidentiality.

The Licensed Intellectual Property is the confidential and proprietary information of Buyer. Seller agrees that it shall not disclose, provide or otherwise make available any item of the Licensed Intellectual Property, in whole or in part, to any third party and that it shall not make any use whatsoever of the Licensed Intellectual Property, in each case, except as expressly authorized hereunder. Seller shall use all reasonable efforts and exert every reasonable degree of care to protect the Licensed Intellectual Property, and shall secure agreements from all employees, agents and contractors having access to the Licensed Intellectual Property, at least as protective of the Licensed Intellectual Property as the provisions of this Section 5A.3, to maintain the Licensed Intellectual Property in confidence. Buyer shall be permitted to enforce the provisions of such agreements directly against these individuals. Any breach of the provisions set forth in this Section 5A.3 by Seller’s employees, agents, or contractors, shall be deemed to be a breach by Seller itself. Upon termination of this Agreement, Seller’s right to use the Licensed Intellectual Property shall immediately terminate. In addition, upon such termination, or upon demand by Buyer at any time, or upon expiration of this Agreement, Seller shall return promptly to Buyer or destroy, at Buyer’s option, all materials, in written or electronic form, that disclose or embody the Licensed Intellectual Property. The parties agree that a breach by Seller of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 5A.3 could cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that Buyer’s remedies at law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach, a restraining order or injunction or both may be issued against any Seller and/or any of the subsidiaries, in addition to any other rights and remedies that are available to Buyer. In connection with any such action or proceeding for injunctive relief, Seller, on behalf of itself and each of its subsidiaries, hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of this Section 5A.3 specifically enforced against such person and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against such person enforcing or restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5A.3.

Section 5A.4 Proprietary Notices.

Seller shall not remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice or marking on or within the Licensed Intellectual Property.

Section 5A.5 Maintenance of Records; Audit

Within 15 days of the end of each calendar quarter during the term of the license granted pursuant to this Article 5A, Seller shall provide Buyer with a summary of Seller’s use of the Licensed Intellectual Property. Buyer may from

time to time, upon reasonable written notification to Seller, perform an audit of Seller’s use of the Licensed Intellectual Property and Seller’s compliance with the provisions of the license to the Licensed Intellectual Property granted pursuant to Article 5A. Any such audit shall be made during Seller’s normal business hours. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing, at least ten business days prior to such audit. Such audit shall not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s business operations.

Section 5A.6 No Warranty.

SELLER RECEIVES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND BUYER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY CONDITION OF QUALITY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE FOR ANY OF THE ITEMS COMPRISING THE LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

Section 5A.7 Limitation of Liability.

BUYER SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE TO SELLER FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, SAVINGS, USE OR BUSINESS; FOR DELAYS, INCONVENIENCE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR FRUSTRATION OF ECONOMIC OR BUSINESS EXPECTATIONS AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO SELLER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, CONTINGENT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN EACH CASE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION VA, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER BUYER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Section 5A.8 Term and Termination.

such earlier date as Buyer may exercise its termination rights pursuant to this Section 5A.8. The licenses granted by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 5A.1 are each referred to herein individually as a “License” and collectively as the “Licenses”. The period of time during which each such License shall remain in effect pursuant to this Section 5A.8 is referred to herein as the “License Term” of such License.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (with respect to Sections 7.1(b) through 7.1(h), by written notice by the terminating party to the other party), whether before or after approval of the transactions contemplated hereby by the stockholders of Seller:

(a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller; or

(b) by either Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have been consummated by November 15, 2005, or such later date as has been agreed upon in writing by Buyer and Seller (the “Outside Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; or

(c) by Buyer if there shall have been instituted any suit, action, proceeding, brought by any third party (other than a Governmental Entity) against the Seller and/or the Buyer (each a “Pending Action”) that would reasonably be expected to result in (i) the restraint or prohibition of the consummation of any material transaction contemplated by this Agreement or asserts the illegality thereof or (ii) a Mammography Intellectual Property Material Adverse Effect and which has been pending for at least 45 days without being dismissed, settled, terminated, withdrawn or finally adjudicated; or by Buyer if there shall have been instituted any suit, action, proceeding, or other Material Investigation or Inquiry brought by an Governmental Entity that would reasonably be expected to result in (i) the restraint or prohibition of the consummation of any material transaction contemplated by this Agreement or asserts the illegality thereof or (ii) a Mammography Intellectual Property Material Adverse Effect and which has been pending for at least 15 days without being dismissed, settled, terminated, withdrawn or finally adjudicated. For purposes of this Section 7.1(c), a “Material Investigation or Inquiry” shall mean any investigation or inquiry brought or initiated by any Governmental Entity, other than an informal investigation or inquiry that would not reasonably be expected to require significant time or effort to comply with, or which has not previously required Buyer to incur more than $100,000 in expenses to comply with.

(f) by either Buyer or Seller, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the other party set forth in this Agreement,

which breach (i) causes the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or (b) (in the case of termination by Buyer) or 6.3(a) or (b) (in the case of termination by Seller) not to be satisfied, and (ii) shall not have been cured within 20 days following receipt by the breaching party of written notice of such breach from the other party; provided, however, that the terminating party may not then be in breach of its material obligations under this Agreement; or

(g) by Buyer, if Seller shall have breached its obligations set forth in Section 5.1 or Seller shall furnish non-public information to any person or entity in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, or enter into discussions or negotiations with any person or entity in connection with an Acquisition Proposal unless such discussions constitute Seller Permitted Response Actions; or

(h) by Seller at any time prior to the approval of the Seller Voting Proposal, if Seller has received a Superior Proposal and Seller’s Board of Directors shall have withdrawn or modified its recommendation of the Seller Voting Proposal in accordance with Section 5.4, provided, however, that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(h) unless (A) Seller shall have complied with Section 5.1, (B) Seller shall have complied with Section 7.3, including without limitation having repaid all amounts due under the Loan Agreement prior to such termination and (C) Seller is not otherwise then in breach of its material obligations under this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Effects of Termination.

In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall immediately become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Buyer or Seller or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates, except as set forth in Section 7.3 of this Agreement or in the Loan Agreements as provided in the following sentence and except that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the parties understand and agree that the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the parties respective rights and obligations thereunder shall be governed by the terms thereof, and shall not be affected by the termination of this Agreement except to the extent expressly provided herein or therein. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties understand and agree that for purposes of the Loan Agreement the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and incorporated by reference in the Loan Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all amounts due under the Loan Agreement are fully paid or discharged.

Section 7.3 Fees, Expenses, Loan Repayment.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 7.3 or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the transaction is consummated.

(b) Seller shall pay Buyer up to $800,000 (or $1,280,000 in the case of a termination described in Section 7.3(c) below) as reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer actually incurred relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to termination (including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and expenses of Buyer’s counsel, accountants and financial advisors, but excluding any discretionary fees paid to such financial advisors; such expenses to be referred to as “Buyer Reimbursable Expenses”), (i) upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(g), (ii) upon the termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(b) if Seller’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date, or (iii) upon termination of the Agreement by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(d). Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with invoices or other reasonable evidence of such expenses upon written request by Seller. Any amount paid by Seller to Buyer in respect of Buyer Reimbursable Expenses shall offset on a dollar-for-dollar basis any fees payable by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 7.3(c).

(c) Seller shall pay Buyer a termination fee of $1,280,000 upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the termination of this Agreement by Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(h); (ii) the termination of this Agreement by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(d) as a result of the failure to receive the requisite vote for approval of the Seller Voting Proposal by the stockholders of Seller at the Seller Meeting if, at the time of such failure, there shall have been announced (and not unconditionally withdrawn) an Alternative Transaction relating to Seller; (iii) the termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(e); (iv) the termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(f); and (iv) the termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(g) and within twelve months thereafter, Seller shall have entered into an agreement to engage in an Alternative Transaction or shall have engaged in an Alternative Transaction.

(d) The expenses and fees, if applicable, payable pursuant to Section 7.3(b), and 7.3(c) shall be paid within two business days after demand therefor following the first to occur of the events giving rise to the payment obligation described in Section 7.3(b) and 7.3(c); provided, however, that such amount shall be required to be paid prior to the taking of any action to the extent expressly set forth in this Section 7.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement. If Seller fails to promptly pay to Buyer any expense reimbursement or fee due hereunder, Seller shall pay the costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit or other legal action, taken to collect payment, together with interest on the amount of any unpaid fee at the publicly announced prime rate of Bank of America (or successor thereto) plus five percent per annum, compounded quarterly, from the date such expense reimbursement or fee was required to be paid.

(e) Seller shall repay all outstanding amounts of principal and interest due under the Loan Agreement upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) immediately prior to Seller, or any officer, director, employee, financial advisor, representative or agent of Seller furnishing non-public information to any person or entity in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, or entering into discussions or negotiations with any person or entity in connection with an Acquisition Proposal unless such discussions constitute

Seller Permitted Response Actions; (ii) the date upon which Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(e), Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g); (iii) the date upon which Seller terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(h); (iv) the date upon which Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) if Seller’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date, (v) the date upon which Lender or Maker terminates the Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, (vi) 30 days after the date upon which this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(a), or 7.1(b) provided that neither party’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date, (vii) 180 days after the date upon which this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(c); or (viii) 180 days after the date upon which this Agreement is terminated by the Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(f) or 7.1(b) if, in the case of the Seller’s termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b), Buyer’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date.

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Alternative Transaction” means either (i) a transaction pursuant to which any person (or group of persons) other than Buyer or its affiliates (a “Third Party”), acquires more than 25% of the outstanding shares of Seller Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer or otherwise, (ii) a merger or other business combination involving Seller pursuant to which any Third Party acquires more than 25% of the outstanding shares of Seller Common Stock or of the entity surviving such merger or business combination, (iii) any other transaction pursuant to which any Third Party acquires control of the Mammography Intellectual Property, or (iv) any public announcement by a Third Party of a proposal, plan or intention to do any of the foregoing or any agreement to engage in any of the foregoing; provided, however, an Alternative Transaction shall not include any transaction which, by its express terms, permits and does not otherwise materially interfere with the transactions to be consummated as contemplated hereby.

Section 7.4 Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby by the stockholders of Seller, but, after any such approval, no amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by such stockholders without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

Section 7.5 Extension; Waiver.

At any time prior to the Closing, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto,

(ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party.

The Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Person of each claim for indemnification hereunder, specifying the amount and nature of the claim, and of any matter which in the opinion of the Indemnified Person is likely to give rise to an indemnification claim. The omission to give such notice to the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder unless it was prejudiced thereby under this Article 8.

Section 8.5 Defense of Third Party Actions.

(a) Promptly after receipt of notice of any Third Party Action, any person who believes he, she or it may be an Indemnified Person will give notice to the potential Indemnifying Person of such action. The omission to give such notice to the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder unless, and to the extent, it was prejudiced thereby, nor will it relieve it of any liability which it may have other than under this Article 8.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Action, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right, at its option and at its own expense, to participate in and be present at the defense of such Third Party Action, but not to control the defense, negotiation or settlement thereof, which control shall remain with the Indemnified Person, unless the Indemnifying Person makes the election provided in paragraph (c) below.

(c) By written notice within twenty (20) days after receipt of a notice of a Third Party Action, an Indemnifying Person may elect to assume control of the defense, negotiation and settlement thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Person agrees (i) to promptly indemnify the Indemnified Person for its reasonable expenses to date, and (ii) to hold the Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all indemnified Losses, caused by or arising out of any settlement of the Third Party Action or any judgment in connection with that Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Persons shall not in the defense of the Third Party Action enter into any settlement which does not include as a term thereof the unconditional release by the third party claimant of the Indemnified Person, or consent to entry of any judgment, except with the consent of the Indemnified Person.

(d) Upon assumption of control of the defense of a Third Party Action under paragraph (c) above, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to the Indemnified Person hereunder for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of the Third Party Action, other than reasonable expenses of investigation.

(e) If the Indemnifying Person does not elect to control the defense of a Third Party Action under paragraph (c), the Indemnifying Person shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with defense of such Third Party Action, as and when the same shall be incurred by the Indemnified Person.

(f) In the event an Indemnifying Person successfully demonstrates that the party seeking indemnification is responsible and the Indemnifying Person is in fact the party entitled to indemnity hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to recover its Losses with respect to such matter from the party initially seeking indemnification hereunder.

(g) Any person who has not assumed control of the defense of any Third Party Action shall have the duty to cooperate with the party which assumed such defense.

Section 8.6 Miscellaneous.

(a) Buyer’s Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2 and Seller’s Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.3, regardless of whether the matter giving rise to the applicable liability, payment, obligation or expense may have been previously disclosed to any such person unless disclosed in writing herein on the Schedules hereto unless otherwise indicated to the contrary thereon. The waiver by any party of a condition to Closing which is based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect that or any other person’s right to indemnification of Losses hereunder or other remedy.

(b) If any Loss is recoverable under more than one provision hereof, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to assert a claim for such Loss until the expiration of the longest period of time within which to assert a claim for Loss under any of the provisions which are applicable.

Section 8.7 Payment of Indemnification.

Claims for indemnification under this Article 8 shall be paid or otherwise satisfied by the Indemnifying Persons within thirty (30) days after notice thereof is given by the Indemnified Person.

ARTICLE IX. ADDITIONAL POST-CLOSING AGREEMENTS

Section 9.1 Books and Records; Tax Matters.

(a) Books and Records. Each party agrees that it will fully cooperate with and make available to the other party, during normal business hours, all Books and Records, information and employees (without substantial disruption of employment) retained and remaining in existence after the Closing which are necessary or useful in connection with (i) any Tax inquiry, audit, investigation or dispute, any litigation or investigation, (ii) any financial statements or financial statement audits required to be provided and/or filed by the Buyer pursuant to any federal or state securities laws, or (iii) any other matter requiring any such Books and Records, information or employees for any reasonable business purpose. The party requesting any such Books and Records, information or employees shall bear all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, but excluding reimbursement for salaries and employee benefits) reasonably incurred in connection with providing such Books and Records, information or employees. All information received pursuant to this Section 9.1(a) shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Cooperation and Records Retention. Seller and Buyer shall (i) each provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by any of them in connection with the preparation of any return, audit, or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, (ii) each provide the other with any records or other information then in the possession of such party that may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination, and (iii) each provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination,

proceeding, or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other for any period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall each retain, until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules, and other records or information used in the preparation of such returns for all tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy the same.

(c) Payment of Liabilities. Following the Closing Date, Seller shall pay promptly when due all of the debts and Liabilities of Seller, including any liability for Taxes.

Section 9.2 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

Except for the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.3 (Authorization of Transaction), Section 2.9 (Title to the Mammography Intellectual Property), Sections 2.10(m) and (n) and Section 3.2 (Authorization of Transaction) of this Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement (for purposes thereof), none of the representations or warranties in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing, but shall expire with and be terminated and extinguished upon the Closing; provided, however that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any indemnification obligations arising under Article VIII or out of such party’s fraud.

Section 9.3 Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) Seller agrees that, after the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to the goodwill and going concern value of the Mammography Intellectual Property and to protect and preserve the same to the maximum extent permitted by law. Seller also acknowledges that its and its subsidiaries respective contributions to the Mammography Intellectual Property have been uniquely valuable and involve proprietary information that would be competitively unfair to make available to any competitor of the Mammography Business. For these and other reasons and as an inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that for a period of five years following the Closing Date neither Seller nor the subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, for its own benefit or as agent for another, carry on or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or the financing of, or be employed by, or consult for or otherwise render services to, or allow its name or reputation to be used in or by any other present or future business enterprise that competes with Buyer for so long as Buyer or any person entitled to or acquiring ownership of the goodwill of the Mammography Intellectual Property through Buyer carries on a like business therein, but in no event more than the said five-year period; provided however that the foregoing covenants shall not prohibit, or be interpreted as prohibiting, Seller or the subsidiaries from: (i) continuing anywhere in the world in any type of business conducted by the Seller or the subsidiaries on the date hereof, which is not competitive with the business of the Buyer; (ii) entering into any relationship with a person not owned, managed, operated or controlled by Seller or the subsidiaries for purposes unrelated to the Mammography

Business; and (iii) making equity investments in publicly owned companies which may compete with the business of the Buyer, provided such investments do not exceed 5% of the voting securities or otherwise confer control of any such competitive business upon the Seller or the subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the ability of the Seller or its subsidiaries to sell Consumables as defined on Schedule 9.3(a) exclusively for use with any MammoTest Product.

(b) Restrictions on Soliciting Employees. In addition, to protect Buyer against any efforts by Seller or the subsidiaries to cause the Transferred Employees to terminate their employment, Seller, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that for a period of five years following the Closing Date, such person will not directly or indirectly (i) induce any Transferred Employee to leave Buyer or to accept any other employment or position (including with Seller or any of the subsidiaries), or (ii) assist any other entity in hiring any Transferred Employees.

(c) Special Remedies and Enforcement. The parties agree that a breach by Seller or any of the subsidiaries of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.3 could cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that Buyer’s remedies at law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach, a restraining order or injunction or both may be issued against any Seller and/or any of the subsidiaries, in addition to any other rights and remedies that are available to Buyer. In connection with any such action or proceeding for injunctive relief, Seller, on behalf of itself and each of the subsidiaries, hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of this Section 9.3 specifically enforced against such person and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against such person enforcing or restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 9.3.

(d) Severability. If this Section 9.3 is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction in which Buyer seeks enforcement hereof, this Section 9.3 shall be limited to the extent required to permit enforcement under such laws. In particular, the parties intend that the covenants contained in Section 9.3(a) shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county and city in which the Mammography Business has been carried on and in which Buyer conducts a similar business after the Closing Date. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms. If, in any proceeding, a court or arbitrator shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants, then such unenforceable covenant shall be deemed eliminated from this Section 9.3 for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. If the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall ever be deemed to exceed the duration or geographic limitations or scope permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic limitations in scope, as the case may be, permitted by applicable regulations.

(e) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the remaining business of Seller and its subsidiaries.

Section 9.4 Financial Statements.

Following the Closing, Seller shall fully cooperate with and assist Buyer in obtaining timely the audited and other financial statements to the extent required to be filed by Buyer to report the acquisition of the Mammography Intellectual Property and any necessary accountants consents, including without limitation providing any management letters or other assurances reasonably requested by such accountants in connection therewith.

Section 10.2 Interpretation.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (i) each party and its counsel reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and have contributed to its revision; (ii) the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement; and (iii) the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to all parties hereto and not in favor of or against any party, regardless of which party was generally responsible for the preparation of this Agreement.

(b) Further, when a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles or Sections, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof,” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to June 22, 2005. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be following by the words “without limitation.”

Section 10.3 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 10.4 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred to herein) (a) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject

matter hereof, and (b) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Closing. Each party hereto agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Buyer makes any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, financial and legal advisors or other representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the other or the other’s representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

Section 10.5 Governing Law and Venue.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN, AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY IN SUCH STATE. The parties hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof, that it is not subject to such jurisdiction or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court’s jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.1, or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

Section 10.6 Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF BUYER OR SELLER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Section 10.7 Assignment.

Neither this Agreement, any agreement, document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the Closing, nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder or thereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the

other party; provided, however, that Buyer may assign any of its rights under this Agreement or in any agreement, document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the Closing (a) to one or more banks or other lenders which provide financing to Buyer from time to time, (b) to any successor to all or substantially all of its business and assets relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and (c) to one or more subsidiaries (including subsidiaries of subsidiaries) of Buyer. Any assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be deemed a breach hereof for which Buyer shall be entitled to retain all amounts that would otherwise be payable by Buyer hereunder as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.8 Severability.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.9 Subsidiaries.

To the extent that any of the Mammography Intellectual Property is owned by a subsidiary of Seller, Seller hereby represents and warrants that it has so indicated in the applicable Seller Disclosure Schedule, and that all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein (other than Section 2.1 or if the context otherwise requires) shall refer to Seller and such subsidiaries taken as a whole. Seller further covenants and agrees that all such items of the Mammography Intellectual Property shall be sold to the Buyer hereunder as if owned by Seller and that Seller shall cause each such subsidiary to execute and deliver such bills of sale and other instrument of transfer as Buyer may reasonably request to transfer title to such items of the Mammography Intellectual Property as contemplated by this Agreement.
