Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Contra Costa, titled Philips

1993, and Does 1-10; Case Number C06 00676 (the “State Court Complaint”). 

On or about June 16, 2006, the MIDC Parties and the “Trust” asserted cross-claims 

against PMC and commenced a third-party action against Philips Medical Systems North 

America Company, a division of Philips Electronics North America Corporation, a Delaware 

Corporation (“PMSNA”) (incorrectly denominated therein “Philips Medical Systems North 

America, a Delaware corporation”) in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the 

County of Contra Costa, titled Medical Insights Diagnostic Centers, Inc., Virgil L. Williams, John 

A. Lynch, Arthur T. Gronner, and the Arthur T. and Bonnie S. Gronner Trust Dated December 9, 

1993 v. Philips Medical Capital, LLC, Philips Medical Systems North America, Inc., and Roes 1-
