CONSULTING AGREEMENT




     This
Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of
                ,
2004, is by and between OrthoLogic Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and Darrell Carney, Ph.D. (“Consultant”).



RECITAL:




     The Company desires to engage Consultant, and Consultant desires to accept
such engagement, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.



AGREEMENT:




     In consideration of the conditions and covenants contained herein, the
parties agree as follows:



     1. Engagement. The Company hereby engages Consultant and Consultant
hereby accepts such engagement with the Company, under the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement (the “Engagement”).



     2. Duties.



          (a) During the Engagement, Consultant shall perform such consulting
services for the Company as the Company may reasonably request Consultant to
perform. Consultant shall initially serve as General Manager of the CBI
Division of the Company (“GM”). Consultant shall operate and manage the
business operations of the CBI Division subject to the general policies of the
Company and the supervision of the Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.
Consultant shall devote time as required for the performance of services for
the Company hereunder. A more specific list of Consultant’s duties is set
forth in Exhibit A.



          (b) The Company recognizes that Consultant currently serves as professor
in the Department of Human Biological Chemistry and Genetics at the University
of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston (“UTMB”), and that unless and until
Consultant shall no longer serve in such position, Consultant will determine
the portion of his business time to be devoted to UTMB and the portion of his
business time to be devoted to the Company, provided, that Consultant shall
devote to the affairs of the Company such time as is necessary to carry out his
duties hereunder. Subject to his duties to UTMB, Consultant shall devote all
of his business time, attention, and energies to the business and affairs of
the Company and use his best efforts to advance the interests of the Company.



          (c) During the Initial Term, the Consultant shall serve as the Chairman of
the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board.



     3. Term. Unless terminated for cause as provided herein, the Engagement
shall commence on
                , 2004 and continue through the second
anniversary of the




1









 















commencement date (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter the
Engagement will be terminable by either party with or without cause pursuant to
Section 5 of this Agreement.



     4. Fees and Expenses.



          (a) The Company shall pay to Consultant a fee of $200,000 per year,
payable in equal monthly installments or, at the discretion of the Company, on
the Company’s regular employee payroll schedule.



          (b) The Company shall pay or reimburse Consultant for all reasonable
travel and other expenses incurred or paid by Consultant, with the prior
approval of the Company, in connection with the performance of services under
this Agreement. Payment shall be made within 30 days following the
presentation of expense statements or vouchers and supporting information
consistent with the Company’s reimbursement policies.



          (c) The Consultant shall be eligible for performance bonuses and stock
option programs created for the Consultant by the Company’s Board of Directors
on an annual basis in its sole discretion.



     5. Termination. Consultant’s Engagement by the Company shall terminate as
set forth below. No termination shall affect any rights or obligations
accruing prior thereto or any continuing obligations of the parties hereunder.



          (a) The Engagement shall be terminable by the Company for cause during the
Initial Term of the Engagement. After the Initial Term, the Engagement will be
terminable by either party with or without cause 45 days after notice of
termination is given by either party. If the Company terminates the Engagement
during the Initial Term for cause, or after the Initial Term with or without
cause, the Company shall have no further obligation to pay the Consultant his
consulting fee. If the Company terminates the Engagement during the Initial
Term without cause and provided the Consultant first executes a Severance
Agreement in the form then used by the Company, the Company shall continue to
pay the Consultant his consulting fee for the time period that is the greater
of (i) the remaining period on the Initial Term, or (ii) 12 months, in either
case payable monthly, or, at the discretion of the Company, on the Company’s
regular employee payroll schedule.



          (b) Either party may terminate the Engagement for cause by giving the
other party 10 days notice, which shall specify the cause for the termination.
Cause shall include material neglect of duties, violations of ethical policies
(including insider trading policies) established by the Company, and commission
of acts of dishonesty that negatively affect the Consultant’s standing in the
academic community or challenge Consultant’s research integrity. However,
during such 10-day period, if the reason for termination is curable and the
party receiving notice cures the specified cause, the Engagement shall not
terminate.



          (c) Additionally, the Engagement shall terminate immediately upon the
death or disability of the Consultant. For this purpose, the Consultant shall
be deemed to be disabled if



2









 















he is unable substantially to perform the duties
required by the Engagement for a continuous period of 30 days or for any 30
days within any 90-day period.



          (d) If, upon a merger in which the Company is not the surviving entity or
upon the sale of substantially all the Company’s assets, the entity who steps
into the shoes of the Company under this Agreement requires the Consultant to
relocate over 30 miles outside of Galveston, Texas, such requirement will be deemed under this Agreement as
a termination without cause.



     6. Loyalty During Engagement Term. Except as it relates to his employment
as a professor at the University of Texas, the Consultant will not engage in
any way whatsoever, directly or indirectly, in any business that is in the
business of developing growth factors, proteins, peptides and small molecules
intended for tissue repair or regeneration, nor solicit, or in any other manner
work for or assist any such business. During the term of Consultant’s
engagement by the Company, Consultant will undertake no planning for or
organization of any such business activity, and Consultant will not combine or
conspire with any employee of the Company or any other person or entity for the
purpose of organizing any such competitive business activity.



     7. Injunctive Relief. It is agreed that the restrictions contained in
Section 6 of this Agreement are reasonable, but it is recognized that damages
in the event of the breach of any of those restrictions will be difficult or
impossible to ascertain; and, therefore, Consultant agrees that, in addition to
and without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have, the
Company shall have the right to an injunction against Consultant issued by a
court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach without showing or
proving any actual damage to the Company.



     8. Part of Consideration. Consultant also agrees, acknowledges,
covenants, represents and warrants that he is fully and completely aware that,
and further understands that, the restrictive covenants contained in Section 6
of this Agreement and in the Intellectual Property, Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreement dated
                , 2004 between the Company and the Consultant
(the “IP Agreement”) which is incorporated herein are an essential part of the
consideration for the Company entering into this Agreement and that the Company
is entering into this Agreement in full reliance on such acknowledgments,
covenants, representations and warranties.



     9. Nondelegability of Consultant’s Rights and Company Assignment Rights.
The obligations, rights and benefits of Consultant hereunder are personal and
may not be delegated, assigned or transferred in any manner whatsoever, nor are
such obligations, rights or benefits subject to involuntary alienation,
assignment or transfer. Upon mutual agreement of the parties, the Company upon
reasonable notice to Consultant may transfer Consultant to an affiliate of the
Company, which affiliate shall assume the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be assigned automatically to any entity
merging with or acquiring the Company.



3









 
















     10. Amendment. Except for any documents regarding the grant of stock
options, this Agreement and the IP Agreement contain, and their terms
constitute, the entire agreement of the parties and supersede any prior
agreements, and they may be amended only by a written document signed by both
parties to the respective agreements.



     11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Arizona,
exclusive of the conflict of law provisions thereof, and the parties agree that any litigation
pertaining to this Agreement shall be in courts located in Maricopa County,
Arizona.



     12. Attorneys’ Fees. If any party finds it necessary to employ legal
counsel or to bring an action at law or other proceeding against the other
party to enforce any of the terms hereof, the party prevailing in any such
action or other proceeding shall be paid by the other party its reasonable
attorneys’ fees as well as court costs all as determined by the court and not a
jury.



     13. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted
to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered
given and delivered when personally delivered to the party to whom such notice
or communication is addressed, or one business day after posting with an
overnight courier, or when confirmation is received if sent by facsimile, or

AGREEMENTS



     IN CONSIDERATION of the foregoing and other valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Contractor and
the Company agree as follows:



     1. Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information. The Company invents,
develops, manufactures and markets processes and products that involve
experimental or inventive work. The Company’s success depends upon the
protection of these processes and products by patent, by copyright, or by
secrecy. The Contractor has had, or may have, access to the Company’s
Proprietary Information, as defined in this Section 1. Access to this
Proprietary Information is given to the Contractor only if the Contractor
agrees to keep that information secret as follows:



          (a) “Proprietary Information” is all information, in whatever
form, tangible or intangible, pertaining in any manner to the
business of the Company, or any of its agents or employees, which
was produced by any employee, consultant, or independent contractor
of the Company including: (i) any and all methods, inventions,
improvements, information, data or discoveries, whether or not
patentable, that are secret, proprietary, confidential or generally
undisclosed, (including information originated or provided by the
Contractor) in any area of knowledge, including information
concerning trade secrets, processes, software, products, patents,
patent applications, inventions, formulae, apparatus, techniques,
technical data, clinical data, clinical trials, improvements,
specifications, servicing, attributes and relative attributes relating to any of the Company’s equipment, devices,
processes, or products, or research and



1









 







development thereof, including
all information relating to the Chrysalin peptide and Chrysalin
preclinical and human clinical study data, products, engineering
reports, drawings, diagrams, computer programs and data, peptide
formulation information, specifications, prototypes, models,
apparatus, techniques, know-how, marketing plans, other data,
improvements, strategies, forecasts, customer lists, technical
requirements of customers, and participating investigator lists,
unless such information is in the public domain to such an extent as
to be readily available to competitors; and (ii) the identities of the
Company’s customers and potential customers (“Customers”) including
Customers the Contractor successfully cultivates or maintains during
his Engagement using the Company’s products, name or infrastructure;
the identities of contact persons at Customers; the preferences,
likes, dislikes and technical and other requirements of Customers and
contact persons with respect to product types, pricing, sales calls,
timing, sales terms, rental terms, lease terms, service plans, and
other marketing terms and techniques; the Company’s business methods,
practices, strategies, forecasts, know-how, pricing, and marketing
plans and techniques; the identity of key accounts; the identity of
potential key accounts; and the identities of the Company’s key
employees and key business partners. Proprietary Information shall
not include information which (i) is known to Contractor on a
non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company; (ii) is or
hereafter becomes known to the general public without breach or fault
on the part of Contractor; (iii) is disclosed to Contractor by a third
party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of any
nondisclosure obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by
Contractor from information not protected under this Agreement by
Contractor while Contractor has no access to related information
disclosed by the Company.



          (b) The Contractor acknowledges that the Company has exclusive
property rights to all Proprietary Information and the Contractor
hereby assigns any and all rights Contractor might otherwise possess
in any Proprietary Information to the Company. Except as required
in the performance of the duties of his Engagement with the Company,
the Contractor will not at any time during or after the term of his
Engagement, without the prior written consent of the Company,
directly or indirectly use, communicate, disclose, disseminate,
lecture upon, publish articles or otherwise put in the public
domain, any Proprietary Information or any other information of a
secret, proprietary, confidential or general undisclosed nature
relating to the Company, its products, Customers, processes or
services, including information relating to testing, research,
development, manufacturing, marketing or selling.



          (c) All documents, records, notebooks, notes, memoranda, data
bases, and similar repositories containing Proprietary Information
made or compiled by the Contractor at any time, including any and
all copies thereof, are and shall be the property of the Company,
shall be held by him in trust solely for the benefit of the Company,
and shall be delivered to the Company by him on the termination of
his Engagement or at any other time upon the request of the Company.



          (d) The Contractor agrees to certify in writing at or before
final termination of the Engagement that the Contractor no longer
has in the Contractor’s possession, custody or control of any copies
of any business documents generated at or relating to the Company
nor any Proprietary Information, whether in hard copy, on a
computer’s hard drive, on disks or in any other form or media.



2









 





          (e) All information regarding the Company’s business disclosed
to, learned by or developed by the Contractor during the course of
the Engagement shall be presumed to be Proprietary Information.



          (f) For five years after the termination of his consulting
engagement for the Company, the Consultant agrees to provide
notification, at the start of any new engagement or employment, to
all subsequent employers or contracting parties who are involved in
any way in the pharmaceuticals industry or are otherwise competitors
of the Company, of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, along
with a copy of this Agreement.



     2. Inventions.



          (a) “Inventions” shall mean discoveries, concepts and ideas,
whether patentable or not, including improvements, know-how, data,
processes, methods, formulae and techniques, as well as improvements
thereof or know-how related thereto, but only those which Consultant
makes, discovers or conceives, either solely or jointly with others,
in the course of performing his consulting services for the Company
pursuant to this Agreement, or with the use of the Company’s
facilities, materials or personnel, or arising from the Company’s
Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, Chrysalin,
its derivatives and variations, and any ancillary products to
Chrysalin’s distribution, disbursement, storage or distribution, and
thrombin peptide or TP508 Technology, as defined in the Patent
License Agreement dated
                  . All Inventions shall be
solely the property of the Company and the Contractor agrees to
perform the requirements of this Section with respect thereto
without the payment by the Company of any royalty or any
consideration other than as provided in this Agreement.



          (b) The Contractor shall maintain written notebooks in which he
shall set forth on a current basis information as to all Inventions
describing in detail the procedures employed and the results
achieved as well as information as to any studies or research
projects undertaken on the Company’s behalf, whether or not in the
Contractor’s opinion a given project has resulted in an Invention.
The written notebooks shall at all times be the property of the
Company and shall be surrendered to the Company upon termination of
his Engagement or upon request of the Company.



          (c) The Contractor shall apply, at the Company’s request and
expense, for United States and foreign letters patent either in the
Contractor’s name or otherwise as the Company shall desire.



          (d) The Contractor hereby assigns to the Company all of his
rights to Inventions, applications for United States Patent and/or
foreign letters patent and to United States and/or foreign letters
patent granted upon Inventions, including without limitation, all
renewals, reissues, extensions, continuations, divisions or
continuations-in-part thereof.



          (e) The Contractor shall acknowledge and deliver promptly to the
Company without charge to the Company but at its expense such
written instruments (including applications and assignments) and do
such other acts, such as giving testimony in support of the
Contractor’s inventorship, as may be necessary in the opinion of the
Company to obtain,



3









 







maintain, extend, reissue and enforce United
States and/or foreign letters patent relating to the Inventions and
to vest the entire right and title thereto in the Company or its
nominee.



          (f) The Contractor’s obligation to assist the Company in
obtaining and enforcing patents for Inventions in any and all
countries shall continue beyond the Engagement, but the Company
shall compensate the Contractor at a reasonable rate for time
actually spent by him at the Company’s request on such assistance.
If the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure the
Contractor’s signature to any lawful and necessary document required
to apply for or execute any patent application with respect to any
Inventions, including renewals, reissues, extensions, continuations,
divisions or continuations-in-part thereof, the Contractor hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly
authorized officers and agents, as his agents and attorneys-in-fact
to act for and in his behalf and instead of the Contractor, to
execute and file any application and to do all other lawful
permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents
with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the
Contractor.



          (g) As a matter of record the Contractor has identified on
Exhibit A, attached hereto, all inventions or improvements relevant
to the activity of the Company which have been made or conceived or
first reduced to practice by the Contractor alone or jointly with
others prior to his Engagement by the Company, that he desires to
remove from the operation of this Section 2; and the Contractor
covenants that such list is complete as of the date of this
Agreement. The Consultant may update the list on a periodic basis.
If there is no such list or if no Exhibit A is attached, the
Contractor represents that he has made no such inventions and
improvements at the time of signing this Agreement.



          (h) The Contractor will not assert any rights under any
inventions, discoveries, concepts or ideas, or improvements thereof,
or know-how related thereto, as having been made or acquired by him
prior to his being engaged by the Company or during the term of his
Engagement if based on or otherwise related to Proprietary
Information.



          (i) No provisions of this Section shall be deemed to limit the
restrictions applicable to the Contractor under Section 1.



     3. Creations.



          (a) “Creations” shall include, without limitation, all designs,
logos, slogans, improvements, plans, developments, marks, names,
symbols, phrases, graphics, advertising, images, art work,
processes, business methods, trade secrets, any and all
copyrightable expression, all copyrightable works, and all
patentable subject matter, in all media (whether existing now or to
be invented), that are conceived, created, made, developed, or
acquired by or for Contractor as a result of the services performed
by him during the Engagement and for the Company, whether or not
protected by statute and including all derivative works.



          (b) Creations shall be deemed “work made for hire” under the
United States Copyright laws, Title 17 of the United States Code,
and the Company will be deemed the author of the work product.



4









 





          (c) Contractor hereby assigns to Company its entire right, title,
and interest, if any, in and to any and all Creations, including
without limitation all copyright rights, patent rights, trade
secrets, trademark rights and associated goodwill, along with all
rights to derivative works and the right to apply for and obtain any
applicable registrations and all other available legal protections
for the Creations.



          (d) The Contractor shall acknowledge and deliver promptly to the
Company without charge to the Company but at its expense such
written instruments (including applications and assignments) and do
such other acts, such as giving testimony in support of the
Creations, as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to
obtain, maintain, extend, reissue and enforce any applicable
registrations relating to the Creations and to vest the entire right
and title thereto in the Company or its nominee.



     4. Shop Rights. The Company shall also have the royalty-free right to use
in its business, and to make, use and sell products, processes and/or services
derived from any inventions, discoveries, concepts and ideas, whether or not
patentable, including processes, methods, formulas and techniques, as well as
improvements thereof or know-how related thereto, which are not within the
scope of Inventions as defined in Section 2 but which are conceived or made by
the Consultant during the period Consultant is engaged by the Company or with
the use or assistance of the Company’s facilities, materials or personnel.



     5. Non-solicitation of Customers or Employees of Company.



          (a) For a period of one year after termination of his Engagement,
the Contractor agrees that he will not solicit the business of any
company that was a Customer or strategic partner of the Company at
any time during the Consultant’s Engagement by the Company,
provided, however, if the Consultant becomes employed by or
represents a business that exclusively sells products that do not
compete with products then marketed or intended to be marketed by
the Company, such contact shall be permissible.



          (b) During the term of his Engagement and for a period of one
year after termination of his Engagement, the Contractor will not
solicit any of the Company’s employees for a competing business or otherwise induce or attempt to induce such
employees to terminate their employment with the Company.



     6. Exclusive Engagement. During the period of this Engagement by the
Company, the Consultant shall not, without the Company’s express written
consent, engage in any employment, consulting activity or business other than
for the Company or for the University of Texas. Activity as a passive investor
in or outside director for another business enterprise shall not be considered
a violation of this section for so long as such business enterprise is not
competing or conducting business with the Company and so long as such
activities do not adversely impact Consultant’s performance of job duties.



     7. Non-Compete. The parties acknowledge that the Consultant has acquired
or will acquire much knowledge and information concerning the Company’s
business and Customers as the result of the Consultant’s Engagement. The
parties further acknowledge that the scope of business in which the Company is
engaged is nationwide and very competitive, that such



5









 







business is one in which
few companies can compete successfully, and that competition by the Consultant
in that business would injure the Company severely. Accordingly, Consultant
agrees that during this Engagement and for a period of one year following the
end of the Engagement (i) if he is paid a severance under section 5 of his
Consulting Agreement; or (ii) if he is paid his Non-Compete Fee (as defined
below); Consultant will not take any of the following actions:



          (a) Engage in work activity or in conjunction with a company that
is in the business of developing growth factors, proteins, peptides
or small molecules intended for tissue repair or regeneration;



          (b) With respect to any Customer that Consultant worked with
during the Engagement, directly or indirectly, sell or attempt to
sell products for or on behalf of any business that manufactures,
assembles, distributes, offers or sells any products that compete
with products in human clinical trials, manufactured, assembled,
distributed, offered or sold by the Company;



          (c) With respect to any Customer or client with which Consultant
worked during the Engagement and to which the Company has made a
proposal or sale, or with which the Company has been having
discussions, persuade or attempt to persuade such Customer not to
transact business with the Company, or instead to transact business
with another person or organization; or



          (d) Work directly or indirectly in any position that requires the
Consultant to disclose Proprietary Information.


If the Consultant’s Engagement ends without a severance payment under section 5
of the Consulting Agreement, the Company will have 60 days following the end of
the Consultant’s Engagement to notify the Consultant of its decision to avail
itself of the option pay him a Non-Compete Fee, which is the sum equal to 50
percent of his last 12 month’s regular consulting fees, payable in accordance
with the Company’s regular payroll schedule, in exchange for Consultant’s
adherence to the non-compete restrictions in this section 7.




     8. Compliance with Law and Amendment by Court: If there is any conflict
between any provision of this Agreement and any statue, law, regulation or
judicial precedent, the latter shall prevail, but the provisions of this
Agreement thus affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent
necessary to bring them within the requirements of the law. If any part of
this Agreement shall be held by a court of proper jurisdiction to be
indefinite, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the entire Agreement shall not
fail on account thereof, but: (i) the balance of the Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect unless such construction would clearly be contrary to
the intention of the parties or would result in an unconscionable injustice;
and (ii) the court shall amend the Agreement to the extent necessary to make
the Agreement valid and enforceable.



     9. Freedom From Engagement Restrictions. The Contractor represents and
warrants that the Contractor has not entered into any agreement, whether
express, implied, oral, or written, that poses an impediment to the
Contractor’s Engagement by the Company including the Contractor’s compliance
with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, the Contractor is not subject
to a preexisting non-competition agreement, and no restrictions or limitations
exist

terms of this Agreement.



     10. Third Party Trade Secrets. During the Contractor’s Engagement by the
Company, the Contractor agrees not to copy, refer to, or in any way use
information which is proprietary to any third party (including any previous
employer). The Contractor represents and warrants that the Contractor has not
improperly taken any documents, listings, hardware, software, discs, or any
other tangible medium that embodies proprietary information from any third
party, and that the Contractor does not intend to copy, refer to, or in any way
use information which is proprietary to any third party in performing the
Contractor’s duties for the Company.

agrees that each and every provision of this Agreement serves a legitimate
business purpose and exists to protect the legitimate business interests of the
Company.



     12. Injunctive Relief; Legal Fees. The Contractor acknowledges that a
breach of this Agreement is likely to result in irreparable and unreasonable
harm to the Company, that damages caused by a breach would be extremely
difficult to calculate, and that injunctive relief, as well as damages, would
be appropriate. If any party finds it necessary to employ legal counsel or to
bring an action at law or other proceeding against the other party to enforce
any of the terms hereof, the party prevailing in any such action or other
proceeding shall be paid by the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees as
well as court costs all as determined by the court and not a jury.



     13. Survival. The obligations described in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and
12 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.



     14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal to the Contractor
and any may not be assigned by Contractor. Any and all rights acknowledged or
granted to the Company under this Agreement may be freely assigned by the
Company.



     15. Prior Agreements; Waiver. If Contractor currently has a written
confidentiality or non-compete agreement with the Company, this Agreement will
supersede all provisions of that agreement that cover the same subject matter
as this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the
parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes those
provisions of all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and
understandings of the parties pertaining to the same subject matter. No waiver
of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to, or shall
constitute a waiver of, any other provisions, whether or not similar, nor shall
any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be binding unless
executed in writing by the party making the waiver.



     16. Governing Law. This Agreement is entered into in Arizona and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Arizona for all purposes. The parties
hereby submit themselves to the courts of the State of Arizona, located in the
County of Maricopa, for the purpose of personal jurisdiction in any action to
enforce this Agreement.



     17. Construction. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall in all
cases be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and not strictly
for or against either party.
