                          Production Purchase Agreement

         This Agreement, together with Exhibits A, B, C and D (the "Agreement")
is made and entered into this 27th day of April, 2000 by and between R2

Lake Success, N.Y. 11042-1198 ("Seller").

                                   BACKGROUND

Canon brand scanner products listed in Exhibit A, attached (the "Products"), for

in R2's Business Plan (the "Systems") to be distributed by R2 only to
distributors, dealers and end users; and

         Seller is willing to sell the Products to R2 upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

         In consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.   Scope.
              -----

              1.1  All Purchase Orders. This Agreement shall apply to all
                   -------------------
purchase orders placed by R2 and accepted by Seller during the Term (as defined
below) for the Products.

              1.2  Subsidiaries. This Agreement also applies to subsidiaries of
                   ------------
R2 at such locations and doing business in such territories as are mutually
agreed to in writing by authorized representatives of the parties. A violation
of the terms of this Agreement by R2's subsidiaries referenced in the
immediately preceding sentence constitutes a breach of this Agreement by R2.

                   1.2.1 Territory. The Systems containing Products shall be
                         ---------

designated facilities located in the Territory, R2 agrees to distribute the
Products as part of Systems sold only to distributors, dealers and end users.

customary part of their business. Dealers include entities which sell R2's
Systems to end users as a normal and customary part of their business. End users
include entities which utilize R2's Systems to provide a service to their

     1.4 Business Plan. R2 has submitted to Seller a business plan, a copy of
         -------------
which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, (the "Business Plan"), and acknowledges
                            ---------
Seller's reliance upon the information furnished by R2 in the Business Plan in
concluding that R2 would be meeting the needs of a particular distribution
channel. R2 agrees to notify the Seller of any material changes to the Business
Plan affecting Seller and Seller reserves the right to terminate the Agreement
based on such changes in accordance with Section 14.1 of this Agreement. The
Business Plan includes a clear explanation of (i) the Systems in which the
Products will be integrated, including specifications therefor; (ii) R2's
program for distributing the Systems containing the Products, including R2's
proposed worldwide distribution channels which R2 understands is subject to R2
entering into agreements with Seller's affiliates; and (iii) R2's program for
providing support services for its Systems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, R2
and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Business Plan is merely a description
of R2's expectations with respect to the Products and the Systems, and Seller
shall have no obligation to the terms and conditions described in the Business
Plan.

     1.5 New Product Inclusion. R2 will notify Seller if it wishes to add a new
         ---------------------
product(s) or series of products of Seller's to this Agreement. If Seller
agrees, R2 and Seller shall then proceed to establish pricing, forecast and
delivery terms for each of such new product. Upon agreement on these items, the
parties will amend this Agreement to include such product(s).

  2. Terms and Conditions.
     --------------------

     2.1 This Agreement contains the exclusive terms and conditions, which apply
to all purchases of the Products, notwithstanding any purchase order,
acknowledgment or other business forms, transmitted by R2 or Seller. All Seller
acknowledgments and transmittals must reference this Agreement and the
applicable R2 purchase order.

     2.2 This Agreement does not constitute a purchase order. Purchases
hereunder will be made utilizing R2 purchase orders issued by R2's Purchasing
Department. R2 is liable under this Agreement only for those Products covered by
such a purchase order.


     2.3 R2 will use reasonable efforts to supply Seller with a forecast of its
intended purchases on a quarterly basis, but such forecast is for Seller's
convenience only, and in no way creates an obligation on R2's or Seller's part
to meet such forecast.

     2.4 Only insofar as the Products are incorporated into the Systems, the
Canon logo, serial numbers, lettering, labels and stickers will not be visible
to R2's customers. In the event R2 returns any Products to Seller, the original
Canon logo, serial numbers, lettering, labels and stickers will be on the
Products as provided. R2 agrees that it is covering Canon's logo, serial
numbers, lettering, labels and stickers at R2's own cost and responsibility. R2
agrees to indemnify Seller for any claims arising from or related to, R2
covering such logo, numbers, labels or stickers appearing on the Products.

   3. Term. The term of this Agreement commenced on the date Seller started
      ----
doing business with R2 and will end on April 25, 2002 (the "Initial Term"),
except that this Agreement will be automatically renewed for additional one (1)
year periods (the "Term") subject to either party's right to terminate this
Agreement, with or without cause, during the Initial Term or the Term, upon
ninety (90) days notice, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
provisions of the Agreement.

   4. Price.
      -----

     4.1 The prices for the Products from Seller to R2, including any applicable
discounts, are as specified in Exhibit A, attached hereto (the "Prices").
                               ---------

     4.2 R2 and Seller represent that to the best of their knowledge this
Agreement does not violate the provisions of the Robinson-Patman Act and the
Canadian Competition Act.

     4.3 The prices shown in Exhibit A, attached maybe adjusted downward on
                             ---------
mutual agreement, based on cost reductions resulting from higher quantities,
lower material cost, or labor and overhead cost reductions. Price reductions
shall apply to only to Products ordered by R2, but not yet delivered as of the
date of the effective date of such reduction.

     4.4 In the event of any price increase, such increase will apply only to
Products for which new orders were placed by R2 after the effective date of such
increase.

     4.5 The prices set forth in Exhibit A, attached do not include freight or
                                 ---------
taxes, and all applicable federal, state and local sales, use and like taxes
shall be separately stated on Seller's invoice. R2 shall be liable to Seller for
such sales, use or like taxes actually charged only if R2 has failed to (i)
comply with the statutory resale tax certificate requirements of states where
appropriate and (ii) furnish Seller with applicable resale or other exemption
certificate(s).

   5. Ordering, Delivery and Payment Terms.
      ------------------------------------

     5.1 The prices, as set forth in Exhibit A, attached are F.O.B. Seller's
designated warehouse located in California or elsewhere in the Territory and all
risk of loss or damage to the Products for Seller shall cease upon delivery to
the carrier selected by Seller or designated by R2 in its purchase order.

     5.2 Seller will use reasonable efforts to deliver Products to meet R2's
requested delivery dates, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Since Seller
itself will be subject from time to time to manufacturer production or shipping
delays, or both, R2 agrees that Seller may allocate distribution of the Products
in a fair and equitable manner among all of its customers, even though this may
effectively limit delivery of Products to R2.

     5.3 On or before November 15 of each year of the Initial Term or Term, as
applicable, of this Agreement, R2 will place a blanket order, specifying its
monthly and annual purchase requirements for the succeeding calendar year (each,
a "Blanket Order"). The total number of units of Product R2 agrees to order for
the year under each Blanket Order is guaranteed by R2. Products will be shipped
to R2 in accordance with the following ordering scheme: each week R2 will supply
a 13 week rolling order forecast of deliveries against the



                                       3

<PAGE>


Blanket Order (the "Order Forecast"). The first six weeks of the Order Forecast
are frozen; that is, the first six weeks of the Order Forecast will constitute a
firm purchase order by R2 and the remaining seven weeks can be adjusted by R2.
It is understood and agreed by the parties that any Order Forecast submitted for
a specific month may not deviate from the Blanket Order previously submitted by
more than plus/minus 50% rounded up to the nearest whole number. If the Order
Forecast for a specific month exceeds 50% of the Blanket Order, Seller may fill
the Order Forecast, subject to the terms of this Agreement, for that month at
its discretion. If the Order Forecast for a specific month is less than 50% of
the Blanket Order, then R2 agrees that, subject to the terms of this Agreement,
it will pay Seller for the amount of Product committed to for that month in the
Blanket Order. R2 acknowledges that the Annual Blanket Order set forth in
Exhibit A, attached, is R2's Blanket Order for the Year 2000, and R2 guarantees
the purchase of 82 total units of Product for the Year 2000 in accordance with
the ordering scheme above, subject to the terms of the "Product Specifications"
Section of Exhibit B, attached. R2 acknowledges that it ordered, delivered and
accepted 4 units of Product in 1998 and 4 units of Product in 1999. The purchase
orders will (i) incorporate the terms of this Agreement, by reference to its
date, (ii) be received by Seller during the Initial Term or Term, as applicable,
of this Agreement, (iii) identify each item of Product by model number, (iv)
indicate quantity, price (on a pro forma basis, with the invoice price to be
determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) and shipping
instructions, and (v) specify R2's requested delivery dates provided that they
are in accordance with the terms of this subsection.

      5.4 A purchase order will not be deemed binding on Seller (or R2) unless
and until Seller accepts the purchase order (1) by sending written confirmation
thereof to R2, or (2) in lieu of such confirmation, by shipping the units of
Product covered by such purchase order. Seller reserves the right to reject or
cancel any order, in whole or in part, before or after acceptance, for R2's
questionable credit standing or because of R2's breach of this Agreement. The
terms of R2's purchase orders will be null and void to the extent they vary
from, conflict with or supplement the terms of this Agreement.


      5.5 R2 will pay for the Products in full in accordance with the terms of
Seller's invoices therefor. Subject to approval of R2's credit from Seller's
Finance Department, R2 agrees to pay Seller for the Products on a net 30 day
basis from the date of the invoice. Invoices will show models of Product
ordered.

   6. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
      ---------------------

   7. Rescheduling.  R2 may reschedule delivery of all or any part of any
      ------------
purchase order, at no additional charge, by issuing a P.O. amendment and Seller
receiving such amendment no later than ninety (90) days before the original
Delivery Date.

   8. Seller's Design Changes.
      -----------------------

      8.1 Seller acknowledges that R2 is a company that manufactures Class III

ninety days prior to the anticipated cut-in-date, of any impending changes in
design that Seller believes will impact performance of or manufacture that might
affect form, fit or function of the Products, including, changes in performance,
hardware, maintenance procedures, interchangeability, software,
interconnectability, reliability or compatibility of Products ordered. If said
design change, in R2's opinion, necessitates evaluation by R2 of compatibility
with R2's Systems, Seller, upon request from R2, will provide R2 with prototype
units of Product for evaluation. Said design change, once approved by R2, shall
cause the revision level or model number of the Product to be rolled. SELLER
WILL NOT IMPLEMENT SUCH CHANGES WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF R2. Seller
is aware that any and all changes must be validated on a product sample 90 days
prior to production shipments under FDA/GMP regulations. If R2 agrees to a
change that does affect form, fit or function, the part number revision level
will change.

related to R2's Systems with a limit of not less than $10,000,000.

     Each party will provide the other with a Certificate of Insurance naming
the other party as an additional insured on its respective policies for
Comprehensive General Liability, Products Liability (to be covered by Seller)
and Medical Products Liability (to be covered by R2). Each party will give the
other party thirty (30) days written notice before any of the policies are
canceled or materially altered and, in such event, will deliver replacement
insurance. All insurance policies required to be maintained will be primary and
will not require contribution from any coverage maintained by the other party
and will not contain any special or non-customary exclusions.

     13.  Inspection, Warranty and Service.
          --------------------------------

          13.1 R2 will inspect the Products, in accordance with the Acceptance

                      ---------
have accepted the same if Seller does not receive R2's written notice of
rejection, specifying the reasons for such rejection, within thirty days (with a
target of less than 20 days) after the date of such delivery. As R2's sole
remedy for rejected Products, Seller will repair or replace, at Seller's option,
rejected Products at no charge, when returned by R2, at its expense to Seller at
15955 Alton Parkway, Irvine, CA 92718, within thirty days after Seller's receipt
of R2's rejection notice and ship, at Seller's expense, the repaired or replaced
Product to R2 in Los Altos, CA or its authorized facility in the continental
United States or Canada, except that if the Product is wrongfully rejected, R2
will be liable to Seller for all transportation charges to and from R2's
facility and will pay Seller an evaluation charge of one hundred dollars
($100.00 U.S.). R2 agrees to obtain a return authorization number prior to
returning any rejected Products and provide an explanation regarding rejection
of the Products.

          13.2 All units of Product are sold to R2 with a limited warranty which
is set forth in full in the Limited Warranty Statement that is attached hereto
as Exhibit B. This warranty applies to Product purchased in the United States
   ---------
and used in the Territory only. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE

RELATING TO THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS, IS MADE BY SELLER OR ANY
SELLER AFFILIATED COMPANY EITHER TO R2 OR R2'S PURCHASER(S). Seller will have
the right to change the term of the limited warranty upon prior notice to R2 and
subject to R2's prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

          13.3 NEITHER SELLER NOR ANY SELLER AFFILIATED COMPANY WILL BE LIABLE
FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE (UNLESS CAUSED SOLELY BY ITS NEGLIGENCE),
LOSS OF REVENUES OR PROFIT EXPENSE FOR SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT OR STORAGE CHARGES,
LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCTS OR SOFTWARE
WHICH MAY BE DISTRIBUTED BY SELLER, OR ANY NON-CANON BRAND COMPUTERS, PERIPHERAL
EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE WHICH MAY BE DISTRIBUTED BY SELLER, REGARDLESS OF THE
LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED AND EVEN IF SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, NOR SHALL RECOVERY OF ANY KIND AGAINST SELLER
OR ANY SELLER AFFILIATED COMPANY BE GREATER IN AMOUNT THAN THE ACTUAL SELLING
PRICE TO R2 OF THE PRODUCTS CAUSING THE ALLEGED DAMAGE.

          13.4 This Agreement provides only for the sale of Products. No
software programming or design or implementation thereof will become part of the
definition of Products except operating system software furnished by Seller with
the Products. R2 or R2's purchaser will contract directly with persons other
than Seller for all required software programming, design, coding and
installation thereof and Seller will have no responsibility whatsoever in this
connection even if R2 discusses the same from time to time with employees of
Seller. The limited warranty provided in the Limited Warranty Statement,
attached, will only apply if the Products are used in conjunction with
compatible computers, peripheral equipment and software, as to each of which
items Seller will have no responsibility.

          13.5 NON-CANON BRAND EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE
PRODUCT OR AS MAY OTHERWISE BE DISTRIBUTED BY SELLER ARE SOLD "AS IS," WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND BY SELLER, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY REGARDING
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The sole warranty with
respect to such non-Canon brand items, if any, is given by the manufacturer or
producer thereof.

          13.6 R2 represents and warrants that: (i) R2 is purchasing the
Products from Seller solely for incorporation in the Systems described in the
Business Plan, and that it will not market the Products other than in such
Systems or use the Products for any purpose other than as described in the
Business Plan; (ii) R2's Systems will include only hardware and software that is
compatible with the Products; (iii) R2 is an experienced systems integrator and
needs no support from Seller or any Seller affiliated company in the Territory
in incorporating the Products in any of its Systems or in marketing the Products
in any part of the Territory; (iv) R2 has tested the Products and has determined
that it is suitable for the applications described in the Business Plan; (v)
based on its experience in, and knowledge of, the business in which it is
engaged, R2

                                       9

<PAGE>


will establish and require implementation of such back-up procedures for Product
failure, as R2 deems prudent and in accordance with standard practices in the
industry; (vi) R2 is the sole owner of R2's Trademarks, patents and other
intellectual property related to the Systems and neither such of R2's
Trademarks, patents and other intellectual property nor use of such of R2's
Trademarks, patents or other intellectual property as set forth herein will
violate or infringe upon the right or interest of any third party; (vii) none of
the rights or interest herein granted to Seller has been transferred or assigned
to any third party and are free of any liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever
in favor of any other party; (viii) there are no claims, litigation or other
proceedings pending or threatened which would adversely affect Seller's rights
or interest hereunder; and (ix) R2 will provide a system warranty to its
distributor, dealer and end user purchaser(s) stating that it is the only entity
providing a warranty with regard to the System. Without limiting the foregoing,
R2, in connection with its distribution efforts, is responsible for obtaining
all necessary governmental approvals and complying with all other applicable
laws and regulations in connection with R2's distribution efforts in the
Territory, except for those approvals set forth in this Agreement which have
been obtained by Seller.

     13.7 All repair work, other than repairs covered by the limited warranty
attached as Exhibit B, will have a limited warranty against defective material
            ---------
or workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety (90) days from the date
of shipment of the repaired Product by Seller. R2's sole remedy for a Product
repaired with defective material or workmanship will be replacement or repair of
the same, at Seller's discretion, without charge when returned by R2, at its
expense, to Seller at 15955 Alton Parkway, Irvine, CA 92718 and proven to be
defective upon inspection. The replaced or repaired Product will be warranted
for the an additional ninety (90) day warranty period of the repair using
defective material or workmanship and be shipped at Seller's expense to R2 or
its' designated location in the Territory. This limited warranty for a Product
repaired does not apply if the failure of the repair resulted from accident,
abuse or misapplication of the repaired Product and shall not extend to anyone
other than R2. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE RELATING TO
THE REPAIRS OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS, IS MADE BY SELLER OR ANY
SELLER AFFILIATED COMPANY EITHER TO R2 OR R2'S PURCHASER(S). Seller will have
the right to change the term of the limited warranty upon prior notice to R2 and
subject to R2's prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
The terms of Section 13.3 will also apply to this Section 13.7.

     13.8 Service: Seller will provide training up to two times per year (date
to be mutually agreed upon) for R2 service and manufacturing personnel at R2's
facility in Los Altos, CA or Canon Inc.'s facility in Japan, at Seller's option,
and Seller will provide manuals and documentation to assist R2 in operating,
servicing and installing the Product. R2 will be responsible for its
out-of-pocket expenses associated with the training, including without
limitation, transportation, meal and hotel expenses. R2 will also be responsible
for transportation and hotel expenses for one engineer of Seller if Seller
agrees to conduct the training at R2's facility in Los Altos, CA. Seller will
provide a spare parts listing with pricing, and use reasonable efforts to
maintain reasonable quantities of spare parts in inventory thus enabling
shipment of spare parts in inventory on the same day of notification provided
said notification occurs before 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

14.      Default.
         -------

         14.1     Either party may, by written notice, terminate this Agreement,
or cancel any purchase order hereunder without penalty, if:

                  (i)   the other party fails to comply with any of the material
provisions of this Agreement and such condition is not remedied within thirty
(30) days of receipt of written notice; or

                  (ii)  the other party becomes bankrupt or insolvent, suffers a
receiver to be appointed or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

                  (iii) R2 materially changes its Business Plan in a manner that
affects Seller without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller.

         14.2     Seller reserves the right, without limiting its other remedies
under this Agreement, to refuse to supply Products to R2 and/or to cancel this
Agreement if (i) R2 distributes the Products other than to distributors and
dealers and end users in the Territory, (ii) R2 does not implement or fails to
adhere to its Business Plan (including failure to comply with the specifications
for R2's Systems) except if approved in writing by Seller; or (iii) Seller
receives repeated complaints regarding the performance of R2's Systems from
distributors, dealers or end user purchasers of the Systems, and R2 fails to
cure such complaints to Seller's satisfaction after reasonable notice.

         14.3     Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith the settlement
of any dispute that may arise under this Agreement.

         14.4     Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement,
cancellation by R2 under this Agreement of any purchase order shall not excuse
Seller's performance or R2's obligations under this Agreement with respect to
any other purchase order.

         14.5     If this Agreement shall expire or be terminated for any reason
set forth in this Agreement, R2 agrees that it shall upon the effective date of
the expiration or termination: (i) refrain from exercising or attempting to
exercise any right or privilege granted to it hereunder; (ii) discontinue its
use of and relinquish any and all rights to any name, trade name or trademark to
the extent Seller has authorized or permitted R2 to use hereunder; and (iii) at
Seller's election, return or destroy all price lists, catalogs, signs,
promotional, advertising or technical material bearing such designations, and
any other material furnished to R2 free of charge by Seller during the Initial
Term or Term, as applicable, of this Agreement.

         14.6     Seller agrees to offer R2 spare parts required to
service/repair the Product at its then current price for the period ending five
years after termination of the Agreement (the "Five Year Period"). For R2 to
obtain spare parts after termination of the Agreement, Seller must receive a
final order six months prior to the expiration of the Five Year Period. In the
event of manufacturer production or shipping delays, Seller will allocate
distribution of spare parts in a fair and equitable manner among all customers,
even though this may effectively limit delivery of ordered quantities. Seller
reserves the right to limit the maximum number of units of a given part to be
shipped to R2 in any one month. R2 will place spare parts orders by formal
purchase


                                       11

<PAGE>


orders via R2's written purchase order form and will follow the procedure set
forth in Section 5.3 of the Agreement, except that (a) a spare part number will
be specified in lieu of the model number and (b) the lead time for spare parts
orders should generally be fourteen weeks after Seller's receipt of the order
(special parts orders generally require an additional four weeks due to special
handling requirements). In the event of discontinuance of a spare part, its
subsequent unavailability and need by R2, Seller and R2 will discuss mutually
satisfactory solutions which may include Seller providing information as to
alternate sources. R2 agrees to pay all freight from Seller's nearest warehouse
in Irvine, CA where the spare parts are available to R2's facility. Subject to
approval of R2's credit by Seller's Finance Department, payment for the spare
parts will be due thirty days after the invoice date. Seller also agrees to
offer R2 service/support for the Product at its then current labor rate for the
period ending five years after termination of the Agreement. R2 agrees to pay
all freight to ship the Product to Seller at 15955 Alton Parkway, Irvine, CA
92718 for service/support and Seller shall pay all freight for Seller to return
the Product to R2, or its designated location in the Territory, after it has
been serviced. Subject to approval of R2's credit by Seller's Finance
Department, payment for service/support and freight, if Seller is not provided
with R2's billing number for shipment, will be due thirty days after the invoice
date. Spare parts and service/support will only be available to R2's existing
customers which have existing service agreements during the Initial Term, and
Term (if applicable), of this Agreement.

          14.7   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, termination of
this Agreement is without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the parties
which have accrued up to and including the date of termination. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the parties agree that in the event of
termination prior to the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent term, R2 will
be responsible for payment for the total units of Product specified in its
13-week Order Forecast and Seller will be responsible for shipment of units of
Product in such Order Forecast.

     15.  Product Discontinuance. Except as otherwise set forth in this
          ----------------------
Agreement, Seller may discontinue the manufacture and/or sale of a Product upon
one year's prior written notice to R2. Within sixty days after the date of
notification of discontinuance ("Notice Date"), R2 may place and Seller will
accept an order in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for reasonable
quantities of such discontinued Product for delivery up to ten months following
Notice Date.

     16.  Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure
          -------------
in performance of its obligations hereunder caused by changes to applicable law
or regulations affecting the Products; governmental acts or directives (official
or unofficial); strikes (legal or illegal); acts of God; war (declared or
undeclared); insurrection; riot or civil commotion; fires; flooding or water
damage; explosions; embargoes; or delays in manufacturer's or supplier's
furnishing products, whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise; or
other causes beyond the parties' reasonable control and without fault or
negligence of such party (collectively, "force majeure"). In the event either
party is unable to carry out any of its material obligations hereunder by reason
of any force majeure and such condition extends for a period of six months, R2
or Seller, as the case may be, will be entitled to:


                                       12

<PAGE>

             (A)   terminate this Agreement or that portion of the Agreement
that is affected by the force majeure upon written notice to such other party;
or

             (B)   suspend the obligations of such party under this Agreement
for the duration of the delaying cause, and, in the case of R2, buy the
Product(s) elsewhere and deduct from any milestone or commitment to Seller the
quantity so purchased. The party whose obligations are suspended will resume
performance under this Agreement immediately after the delaying cause ceases
and, upon mutual agreement, the Initial Term and/or Term of the Agreement will
be extended for a period equivalent to the length of time the excused delay
endured.

     17.     Equal Opportunity. The "Equal Opportunity Clause" set forth in 41
             -----------------
CFR 60-1.4(a), the clause labeled "Affirmative Action of Disabled Veterans and
Veterans of the Vietnam Era" set forth in 41 CFR 60-250.4 and the clause labeled
"Affirmative Action for Handicapped Workers" set forth in 41 CFR 60-741.4 are
hereby incorporated by reference and all references in such clauses to "the
contractor" shall be deemed to be references to Seller.

     18.     Government Contracts. If R2 issues Seller a purchase order for
             --------------------
Products for integration in Systems to be sold under a prime contract with the
government or a subcontract thereunder, the terms that the Federal Acquisition
Regulation or other appropriate regulations require to be inserted in contracts
or subcontracts will be deemed to apply to any purchase order under this
Agreement.

     19.     Survival. Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the term
             --------
of this Agreement or any renewal period thereof, it is acknowledged and agreed
that those rights and obligations which by their nature are intended to survive
such expiration or earlier termination shall survive including, without limiting
the forgoing, the following provisions: Article 10, 11, 12, 13, 21 and 23.

     20.     Relationship of Parties. Neither party shall have, or shall
             -----------------------
represent that it has, any power, right or authority to bind the other party, or
to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on
behalf of the other party or in the other party's name. Nothing stated in this
Agreement shall be construed as constituting Seller and R2 as partners, joint
venturers, or as creating the relationships of employer and employee, franchiser
and franchisee, master and servant, or principal and agent.

     21.     Publicity.
             ---------

             21.1     INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
                      ---------------------

             21.2     R2 shall promote and market its Systems under R2's own
trade names. R2 agrees that it has no right, title or interest in and to the
name CANON or any Canon logo. R2 shall not use the name CANON, alone or in
combination with other names, in any way except as may be authorized by Seller.
R2 shall not use any designation consisting of or including the trade name and
trademark CANON, except as approved by Seller. Under no circumstances shall R2
use the CANON corporate logo independently from the Product logos.

                  21.3 R2 will, as set forth in detail in R2's Business Plan,
at its own cost and expense, promote its Systems incorporating the Products in
the Territory, which efforts should include, but not be limited to, the
following:

                  (A) Furnish each distributor, dealer and end user with R2's
printed form of warranty, and assisting customers in obtaining warranty and
out-of-warranty repairs and service.

                  (B) At the request and expense of distributors, dealers and
end users, R2 will accept Products for out-of-warranty (at the expense of
distributors, dealers and end-users) and in-warranty repair and R2 will ship the
Products to 15955 Alton Parkway, Irvine, CA 92718 and pay for the cost of the
repairs if the Product is out-of-warranty, and after repair, return the Products
to the respective distributors, dealers or end users. For in warranty Product,
Product returns will be handled in accordance with Section 13.1 above. All such

                        MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
                        -------------------------------

This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (the "Agreement") is dated this 15th day
of April, 1999 and is between the parties set forth in Section 1 below.

1.     Parties.

       Canon U.S.A., Inc.                           R2 Technology, Inc.
       One Canon Plaza                              325 Distel Circle
       Lake Success, NY 11042                       Los Altos, CA 94022
       ("CUSA")                                     ("R2")

2.     Background. CUSA and its parent, subsidiary and affiliate corporations
possess certain proprietary, technical and other information relating to film
scanners (the "Canon Information"), as more fully described at the end of this
Agreement. R2 possesses certain proprietary, technical information relating to
R2's product currently named the "Mammo 1000 ImageChecker system" (the "R2
Information"), as more fully described at the end of this Agreement. The parties
are willing to disclose their respective Information to each other, solely for
the purpose of product development of mammographic film digitizers (the
"Purpose"). As used in this Agreement, the discloser of "Confidential
Information" (as defined in Section 3 below) will be referred to as "Discloser"
and the recipient of Confidential Information will be referred to as
"Recipient." The parties agree to the terms below.

3.     Confidential Information. The term "Confidential Information" means the
Canon Information and R2 Information that is disclosed by Discloser to Recipient
orally (provided that the oral communication has been reduced to written form
and received by the Recipient within 15 business days of the oral communication)
or in a written or other tangible form and marked as "Confidential."
Confidential Information expressly includes information derived from the Canon
Information or R2 Information disclosed by Discloser to Recipient in writing and
marked as "Confidential."

4.     Obligations. Recipient agrees to (a) keep the Confidential Information in
strict confidence, (b) not to disclose it to any third party and (c) not to use
the Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the specific Purpose
as described in Section 2 above, without the prior written consent of Discloser.
Recipient agrees to protect and safeguard the Confidential Information by using
the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care to prevent
the unauthorized use, dissemination or publication of the Confidential
Information, as Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information of a
like nature. Recipient agrees to limit the disclosure of the Confidential
Information to its

                                       40

<PAGE>

employees who need to know the Information in order to accomplish the Purpose of
this Agreement. Recipient agrees that its employees who need to know the
Confidential Information (i) will be notified of the confidential nature of the
Confidential Information, and (ii) must agree to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.

5.   Exceptions. The obligations of confidentiality in Section 4 will not apply
to any information which (a) was known to the Recipient prior to disclosure, as
evidenced by Recipient's written records; (b) is rightfully received by
Recipient from a third party having the right to disclose the information; (c)
is or becomes public knowledge through no act or fault of Recipient, (d) is
proven by written evidence to have been independently developed by Recipient
without any reference to the Confidential Information; or (e) is required to be
disclosed pursuant to any law or judicial or governmental request, requirement
or order, provided that Recipient gives reasonable notice to Discloser of the
order, if possible, and makes a reasonable effort to seek legal protection of
the Confidential Information.

6.   Period of Confidentiality. The obligations of confidentiality contained in
Section 4 will extend for a period of three (3) years from the date of each
disclosure of information.

7.   Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, or upon the written
request of Discloser at any time, Recipient will immediately return to Discloser
all written Confidential Information, all written materials derived from, and
copies of, the Confidential Information. Upon termination, the Recipient may not
retain any copies of any materials referred to in this Section 7 for its files.

8.   Relationship Between Parties. No license or right, express or implied, is
granted to Recipient for any invention, patent application, patent, copyright,
know-how, trade secret, other intellectual property right, or application for
intellectual property, of Discloser or its parent or subsidiary corporations.
The parties make no representation that (a) the Confidential Information will be
disclosed or (b) any type of business relationship related to the Purpose of
this Agreement, the Confidential Information, or any other matter will be
concluded between them. Nothing in this Agreement will create an agency
relationship, partnership or joint venture between the parties.

9.   Specific Performance. The parties agree that the terms of this Agreement
are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Confidential Information
and to prevent damage or loss to Discloser. Recipient agrees that any breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement by it or any of its authorized
representatives may cause Discloser irreparable injury for which there is no
adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the parties agree that Discloser will be
entitled, in addition to any other remedies available, to injunctive or other
equitable relief to require specific

                                       41

<PAGE>

performance under, or to prevent a breach of, this Agreement.

10.    Miscellaneous. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws
provisions. This Agreement is the complete agreement of the parties and
supersedes all previous agreements of representations, written or oral, between
the parties on this subject matter. All notices under this Agreement will be in
writing, addressed to the parties at their addresses set forth in Section 1
above and personally delivered, mailed by national traceable courier or United
States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notice will be
deemed given when received as evidenced by signature or the date the notice is
first refused, if that be the case. This Agreement is not assignable by either
party without the prior written consent of the other. This Agreement may not be
amended except by a writing signed by the authorized representatives of both
parties. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are found to
be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the enforceability of the
remaining provisions will be unimpaired.

11.    Compliance with Laws. Recipient agrees not to export or convey any
technical data, equipment or materials supplied under this Agreement, in
contravention of any laws, ordinances or regulations enacted by the United
States, Japan or the European Economic Community.
