Foundation, Hickey and Lundgren will be collectively referenced herein as “Licensor”.
 
WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee entered into an exclusive Technology License Agreement on November 10, 2006, to facilitate the development and commercialization of certain technology owned by Licensor so that this technology may be utilized to the fullest extent for the benefit of Licensee, Licensor, the inventor(s) and the public;
 
WHEREAS, Licensor has or will enter into a “Research Agreement” and a “Manufacturing License Agreement” with Ethox International, Inc. (“Ethox”) to further facilitate the development and commercialization of the licensed technology (“Scivanta Ethox Agreements”);
 
WHEREAS, Licensee has or will enter into a “Project Development Agreement” and a “Supply Agreement” with Ethox (the “Scivanta Ethox Agreements”) to set forth the terms and conditions under which Ethox shall engineer, develop and manufacture key components of the Hickey Cardiac Monitoring System (“HCMS”);
 
WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee desire to modify the aforementioned Technology License Agreement for the mutual benefit of both parties;
 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
 
1.    
The modifications of the Technology License Agreement herein will be effective as of the Effective Date and will remain in effect for the duration of the Technology License Agreement unless further modified in writing by the parties hereto.

2.    
Section 2.1 of the Technology License Agreement will be replaced with:

2.1 Exclusive License. Licensor grants to Licensee an exclusive license under its Technology rights to (a) develop, make, have made, use, sell and offer for sale or otherwise exploit the Licensed Products, and (b) use and reproduce Software, create Derivatives, and distribute Software to end-users through the normal channels of distribution, in the Field and Territory during the Term. Licensee will have the unrestricted right to develop Licensee Improvements relating to the Licensed Products in the United States for distribution and exploitation of the Licensed Products either in the United States or outside of the United States.
