and Supply Agreement as set forth herein.
     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, it is
agreed as follows:
     1.   Construction. Except as provided in this Amendment, the terms and
conditions set forth in the OEM Purchase and Supply Agreement shall remain

in writing, within 5 business days from knowledge of a reportable event, of all
incidents relating to the subject matter of the Agreement that must be reported
according to the FDA Medical Device Reporting regulation (21 CFR Part 803) or
the European Medical Device Vigilance regulations or that must be registered

injury, malfunctions that, if recurrent, may cause or contribute to death or
serious injury or other material quality problems or concerns. Supplier will be
responsible for reporting such incidents to the appropriate regulatory
authority. GEMS-IT shall fully cooperate with Supplier as may be necessary to
comply with any reporting obligations regarding such incidents or quality
concerns.

     3.   Section 14.6 of the OEM Purchase and Supply Agreement is deleted in

the parties agree that (a) they shall promptly notify each other and (b) they
shall fully cooperate with each other concerning the necessity and nature of
such action. GEMS-IT shall be the point of contact for purchasers of any OEM
Product (whether directly or through its distributors). Supplier shall be
responsible for making any and all applicable regulatory contacts and for
coordination of any recall or field correction activities involving such OEM
Products. In the event that any OEM Product requires field correction or is
recalled as a result of (a) the supply by Supplier of a Noncomplying Product or
(b) the grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission of Supplier
or its affiliates or their representatives, then Supplier shall bear all costs
and expenses, including but not limited to the costs and expenses related to
such recall or field correction, communications and meetings with all required
regulatory agencies, replacement stock, service labor, installation, travel,
notifying customers of such recall and any replacement product to be delivered
to those same customers, including shipping costs. To the extent that any such
recall or field correction is due in part to the negligent or intentional acts

expenses equitably in proportion to its fault.

parties and this Amendment.
