Cart-Based Ultrasound Systems. Most conventional ultrasound systems typically weigh between 300 and 400 pounds, cost between $100,000 and $150,000 and offer premium image quality, performance and features. These systems are primarily used by highly-trained clinicians in a centralized imaging department, such as a hospitals radiology department, and in vascular, cardiology and OB/GYN departments. Due to their size, cart-based systems are difficult to bring to a patients bedside or use in settings where space is limited. According to InMedica, cart-based systems represented approximately 90% of ultrasound system sales worldwide in 2006

parties per separate agreement. Such agreement shall be in place prior to any Product shipments under this Agreement. Such after-sale services shall include, without limitation, replacement parts, technical phone support, and software upgrades during the warranty term, as defined in Section 5.
     5. Warranty
          (a) Limited Warranty.

          (m) ISO Compliance. In the event the Territory includes any country adopting the International Standards Organization 13485 (96) standards (or any successor thereto), Fuji shall be in compliance with the standards applicable to Fuji’s activities under this Agreement at the date the standards become effective, and shall furnish proof to ZONARE that Fuji is in compliance.

Fuji agrees that ZONARE at its sole option shall be relieved of the foregoing obligations unless Fuji, its distributors or its customers notifies ZONARE promptly in writing of such claim, suit or proceeding and gives ZONARE authority to proceed as contemplated herein and, at ZONARE’s expense, gives ZONARE sufficient information and reasonable assistance to settle and/or defend any such claim suit or proceeding. If the Products, or any part thereof, are, or in the opinion of ZONARE may become, the subject of any claim, suit or proceeding for infringement of any patent, copyright or trademark, or if it is adjudicatively determined that the Products, or any part thereof, infringe any patent, copyright or trademark, or if the sale or use of the Products, or any part thereof, is, as a result, enjoined, then ZONARE may, at its option and expense either: (i) procure for Fuji, its distributors and its customers the right under such patent, copyright or trademark to sell or use, as appropriate, the Products or such part thereof; or (ii) replace the Products, or part thereof, with other suitable Products or parts; or (iii) suitably modify the Products, or part thereof; or (iv) if the use of the Products, or part thereof, is prevented by injunction, remove the Products, or part thereof, and refund the aggregate payments paid therefore by Fuji, less a reasonable sum for use and damage. ZONARE shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without its prior written authorization, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
          (b) Limitation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 11(a) above, ZONARE assumes no liability for (i) infringements covering completed equipment or any assembly, combination, method or process in which any of the Products may be used but not covering the Products when used alone; (ii) trademark infringements involving any marking or branding not applied by ZONARE or involving any marking or branding applied at the request of Fuji; or (iii) infringements involving the modification or servicing of the Products, or any part thereof, unless such modification or servicing was done by ZONARE or under ZONARE’s authorization.
          (c) Entire Liability. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11 state the entire liability and obligations of ZONARE and the exclusive remedy of Fuji, its distributors and customers, with respect to any alleged infringement of patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights by the Products or any part thereof.
     11A. Indemnification by Fuji
     Fuji shall defend or settle third party claims brought against ZONARE resulting from Fuji’s performance or omission of performance in reselling the Products, and shall indemnify ZONARE from any expenses, costs and damages suffered by ZONARE and damages finally awarded to such third party in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to claims covered by Section 9(a) above. If Fuji makes a warranty, or guarantee about the safety, operation and performance of the Products beyond the warranty or guarantee granted by ZONARE to Fuji, Fuji will be responsible for such warranty or guaranty.

     12. General Provisions
          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement, and ZONARE’s and Fuji’s relationship, and any matter arising in respect or in connection therewith, shall be solely and exclusively governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, U.S.A without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The parties expressly disclaim the application of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods to this Agreement.
          (b) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, in relation to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the validity, enforceability, construction, performance or breach thereof, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Pleasanton, California, under the then-current International Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with such Rules. The rules of discovery determined by the arbitrator shall apply thereto. The parties agree that judgment upon the decision and/or award rendered by the decision may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of the arbitration, including administrative fees and fees of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the parties, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator. Each party shall bear the cost of its own attorneys’ fees and expert fees. In addition to the right under the Rules to petition the court for provisional relief, the parties agree that any party may also petition the court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of confidentiality obligations under Section 10 of this Agreement.
          (c) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No representations, inducements, promises or agreements, whether oral or otherwise, between the parties not contained herein or incorporated herein by reference shall be of any force or effect. Except as set forth herein, no modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, nor any agreement or understanding extending this Agreement or varying its terms (including any inconsistent terms in any purchase order, acknowledgement or similar form) shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties to this Agreement.
          (d) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the other party at the address shown at the beginning of this Agreement or at such other address for which such party gives notice hereunder. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given five (5) days after deposit in the first class mail.
          (e) Force Majeure and Inability to Deliver.
(i) Nonperformance of either party shall be excused to the extent that performance is rendered impossible due to industrial conflicts, mobilization, requisition, embargo, currency restriction, insurrection, general shortage of transport, material or power supply, fire, explosion, terrorism, stroke of lightning, force majeure and similar casualties or other events beyond Fuji’s or ZONARE’s control, as well as default in deliveries from subcontractors due to such circumstances as defined in this clause.

(ii) If the performance of this Agreement by either party is made commercially impracticable (i) by the occurrence of an economic contingency the non-occurrence of which was a basic assumption on which this Agreement was made or (ii) by compliance in good faith with any applicable foreign or domestic governmental law, regulation, or order, then this Agreement shall terminate immediately. For purposes of this Agreement, currency devaluation, currency restrictions, currency and exchange controls, and other monetary controls, restrictions, and restraints shall not be considered to render the performance of this Agreement by Fuji commercially impracticable, or otherwise be considered force majeure with respect to Fuji.
          (f) Nonassignability and Binding Effect. Neither party may transfer or assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
          (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
          (h) Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed void by law, then the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
          (i) No Waiver of Rights. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of such right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any further or other exercise of such right or remedy. All rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
          (j) Captions. Captions of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not constitute terms or conditions of this Agreement and shall not limit or affect the meaning or construction of the terms and conditions hereof.

The singular shall include the plural, and each masculine, feminine and neuter reference shall include and refer also to the others, unless the context otherwise requires.
          (l) Rules of Construction. The parties agree that they have participated equally in the formation of this Agreement and that the language and terms of this Agreement shall not be preemptively construed against either of them.
          (m) Survival of Certain Terms.
