         This VOTING AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into on March 27, 2003
by and among PMC Commercial Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust
("Trust"), and each of the undersigned shareholders (such shareholders each
individually referred to herein as a "Designated Shareholder" and collectively
as the "Designated Shareholders") of PMC Capital, Inc., a Florida corporation
(the "Capital").

         WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 27,
2003 (the "Merger Agreement") between Trust and Capital, Capital will be merged
with and into Trust (the "Merger") (all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement);

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and to induce Trust to enter
into the Merger Agreement, Capital has agreed to use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the persons who are identified on Annex A to the Merger
Agreement to execute and deliver to Trust a Voting Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, approximately 21% percent of the beneficial and record
ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $.01 par value
per share, of Capital (the "Capital Shares") are held, in the aggregate, by the
Designated Shareholders in the manner set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. DISPOSITION OF THE CAPITAL SHARES. Each Designated Shareholder
agrees, for the period from the date hereof through the date on which the Merger
is consummated or the Merger Agreement terminates, whichever is earlier (such
period hereinafter referred to as the "Term"), that such Designated Shareholder,
except as contemplated hereby, (a) will not directly or indirectly sell,
transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any
contract, option or other agreement or understanding with respect to the sale,
transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any Capital
Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by such Designated Shareholder, except
for transfers to independent charitable foundations or institutions and except
for transfers approved in writing by Trust, (b) grant any proxies, deposit any
Capital Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement (other than
this Agreement) with respect to any Capital Shares or (c) take any action that
would have the effect of preventing or disabling the Designated Shareholder from
performing its obligations under this Agreement.

         2. VOTING. Each Designated Shareholder agrees during the Term to cast
all votes attributable to the Capital Shares now and hereafter beneficially
owned by such Designated Shareholder at any annual or special meeting of
shareholders of Capital, including any adjournments or postponements thereof (a
"Meeting"), (a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby (including any amendment or modification of
the terms of the Merger Agreement approved by the board of directors of
Capital), and (b)

<PAGE>

against approval or adoption of any action or agreement (other than the Merger
Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby) that would impede, interfere
with, delay, postpone or attempt to discourage the Merger and the transactions
contemplated thereby.

         3. NO SOLICITATION. From and after the date hereof and continuing until
this provision terminates pursuant to Section 6 hereof and except as permitted
by the Merger Agreement, such Designated Shareholder shall immediately cease any
existing discussions or negotiations with any third parties conducted prior to
the date hereof with respect to any Competing Transaction. Such Designated
Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director,
employee, representative or agent or any of Capital's Subsidiaries, (i) solicit
or initiate any Competing Transaction, (ii) engage in negotiations or
discussions concerning or provide any nonpublic information to any person or
entity relating to, any Competing Transaction or (iii) agree to or approve any
Competing Transaction.

         4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE DESIGNATED SHAREHOLDERS. Each
of the Designated Shareholders represents and warrants to Trust as follows:

                  a. Such Designated Shareholder has all necessary power,
authority or competence to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or violate any law,
regulation, court order, judgment or decree applicable to such Designated
Shareholder or conflict with or result in any breach of or constitute a default
(or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under any contract or agreement to which such Designated Shareholder is a party
or by which such Designated Shareholder is bound or affected, which conflict,
violation, breach or default would materially and adversely affect such
Designated Shareholder's ability to perform this Agreement.

                  b. Such Designated Shareholder is not required to give any
notice or make any report or other filing with any governmental authority in
connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the performance
of such Designated Shareholder's obligations hereunder and no waiver, consent,
approval or authorization of any governmental or regulatory authority or any
other person or entity is required to be obtained by such Designated Shareholder
for the performance of such Designated Shareholder's obligations hereunder,
other than where the failure to make such filings, give such notices or obtain
such waivers, consents, approvals or authorizations would not materially and
adversely affect such Designated Shareholder's ability to perform this
Agreement.

                  c. The Capital Shares set forth opposite the name of such
Designated Shareholder on Exhibit A hereto are the only the Capital Shares owned
beneficially or of record by such Designated Shareholder or over which such
Person exercises voting control and such Designated Shareholder has sole voting
power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Section 2
hereof and sole power of disposition, sole power of conversion, sole power to
demand appraisal rights, and, subject to the receipt of any required
governmental approvals, sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in

                  [**] day period, which are to be delivered within [**] days of
                  the date of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the
                  contrary in this Section 6.2, no Purchase Price increase shall
                  apply unless Aspect has used its reasonable efforts to find
                  alternate suppliers of the materials that have increased in
                  cost and, despite exercising such reasonable efforts, was not
                  able to locate such alternate suppliers.

         7.4      [**]
                  In no case shall the [**] Datascope [**] with Aspect [**] this
                  Agreement [**].

         7.5      Taxes.

                  All prices for Aspect Products are exclusive of all federal,
                  state and local taxes, levies and assessments, and Datascope
                  shall be responsible for the payment of all such taxes, levies
                  and/or assessments imposed on Aspect Products purchased and/or
                  licensed by Datascope hereunder, excluding taxes based on
                  Aspect's net income from the transaction. Datascope shall be
                  responsible for providing in a timely manner all
                  documentation, in the nature of exemption certificates or
                  otherwise, necessary to allow Aspect to refrain from
                  collections, such as sales tax,

                  which it would otherwise be obligated to make.

8.   TERMS OF PAYMENT.

         8.1      Invoices.

                  Datascope shall pay to Aspect the Purchase Price for all
                  Aspect Products shipped hereunder within [**] days after the
                  receipt of Aspect's invoice. Nothing herein shall affect
                  Aspect's right to withhold shipment or otherwise exercise its
                  rights under Section 22 (Termination) hereof in the event of
                  Datascope's failure to make payment when due for Aspect
                  Products delivered to Datascope. Datascope shall have the
                  right to provide Aspect with a specific address to which
                  Aspect will send invoices for Aspect Products purchased under
                  this Agreement.

         8.2      Late Payment Charge.

                  Subject to applicable law, service and/or interest charges not
                  exceeding the lesser of 1% per month or the highest amount
                  permitted by law may, at the election of Aspect, be assessed
                  on amounts past due more than [**] days (that is, more than
                  [**] days after the payment due date as specified in Section
                  8.1). Datascope, however, shall receive a [**] percent ([**]%)
                  discount if payment is made within [**] days of date of
                  invoice.

9.   SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY.

         9.1      Delivery Location. Each shipment must indicate the exact
                  address of the recipient on the outside of the packaging as
                  follows:

                                 Datascope Corp
                               800 MacArthur Blvd

         9.2      Delivery Terms.

                  All shipments hereunder shall be FOB Aspect's Massachusetts
                  point of origin (Incoterms 1990). All Aspect Products shall be
                  deemed delivered and subject to Datascope's dominion and
                  control only when properly packed and ready for shipment to
                  Datascope and placed in the possession of a carrier designated
                  by Datascope. Aspect shall cooperate with Datascope in the
                  documentation and proof of loss claims promptly presented by
                  Datascope to the appropriate carrier and/or insurer.

         9.3      Delivery Date and Date of Dispatch.

                  The requested delivery date shall be specified on the
                  Datascope Purchase Order provided that such delivery date must
                  be at least [**] days after the date Aspect receives the
                  Order; provided, however, that Aspect shall use its reasonable
                  efforts to deliver the Order as close to requested date as
                  reasonably possible (taking other customer demands on Aspect

            ASPECT / DATASCOPE OEM DEVELOPMENT AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  into account). Aspect shall utilize reasonable efforts to
                  ensure that the order is delivered in accordance with Aspect's
                  order acknowledgement and that the date of dispatch is [**]
                  calendar days prior to the delivery date. Late delivery
                  penalties to Aspect will apply as specified in Section 5.7 of
                  this Agreement.

10.  ACCEPTANCE.

         Any Aspect Product shipped hereunder may be subjected to inspection and
         performance testing by Datascope, to confirm that it functions in
         accordance with Aspect's applicable product specifications in effect at
         the time of delivery of such Aspect Products to Datascope. Datascope
         shall provide written notice to Aspect of the rejection of any such
         Aspect Product within [**] days of the date of receipt of any Aspect
         Product. Aspect shall have [**] days from receipt of a notice from
         Datascope rejecting an Aspect Product either, at its option, to make
         any necessary repairs to the defective Aspect Product or to replace it.
         If Aspect replaces an Aspect Product, Datascope shall dispose of the
         replaced Aspect Product in accordance with Aspect's instructions and at
         Aspect's expense. Datascope's sole remedy for rejected Aspect Products
         shall be limited to prompt repair or replacement of such Aspect
         Products.

11.  WARRANTY.

         11.1     General.

                  Aspect warrants solely to Datascope that Aspect Products
                  (including Software) delivered hereunder shall perform
                  substantially in accordance with the specifications in Exhibit
                  B (Aspect's [**] Kit) and shall be free from defects in
                  materials and workmanship, when given normal, proper and
                  intended usage, for [**] months from the date of shipment of
                  the Datascope [**] System to Datascope end customer site or
                  [**] months from the date of shipment by Aspect to Datascope,
                  whichever is less. This warranty shall not apply to expendable
                  components and supply items, such as, but not limited to,
                  cables (except for failures occurring within [**] days of
                  receipt of shipment), or disposable items such as an Aspect
                  BIS Sensor after the expiration date marked on the Sensor
                  packaging. Aspect shall not have any obligation under this
                  Agreement to make repairs or replacements which are required
                  by normal wear and tear, or which result, in whole or in part,
                  from catastrophe, fault or negligence of Datascope, or anyone
                  claiming through or on behalf of Datascope, or from improper
                  or unauthorized use of Aspect Products, or use of Aspect
                  Products in a manner for which they were not designed, or by
                  causes external to Aspect Products such as, but not limited
                  to, power or air conditioning failure.

         11.2     Warranty Procedures.

                  Datascope shall notify Aspect of any Aspect Products which it
                  believes to be defective during the applicable warranty period
                  and which are covered by the warranties set forth in Section
                  11.1. At Aspect's option, such Aspect Products shall be
                  returned by Datascope

                  to Aspect's designated facility for examination and testing,
                  or may be repaired on site by Aspect. Aspect shall either
                  repair or replace, within [**] days of receipt by Aspect, any
                  such Aspect Product found to be defective and return these
                  Products to Datascope. Transportation and insurance costs
                  shall be borne by Aspect. Should Aspect's examination and
                  testing not disclose any defect covered by the foregoing
                  warranty, Aspect shall so advise Datascope and dispose of or
                  return the Aspect Product in accordance with Datascope's
                  instructions and at Datascope's expense, and Datascope shall
                  reimburse Aspect for transportation and insurance costs.

         11.3     Repair Warranty.

                  Aspect warrants its repair work and/or replacement parts for
                  the duration of the original warranty period as set forth in
                  Section 11.1 or at least [**] months, whichever is longer.

         11.4     DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.

                  THE PROVISIONS OF THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ANY
                  OTHER WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL,
                  INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
                  PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT.

12.  SERVICE AND SUPPORT

         12.1     Service and Support.

                  Datascope shall be responsible for providing installation,
                  customer training, service and support (including repair) to
                  its end customers for the Aspect Products Datascope sells to
                  such customers, and Datascope shall bear all related costs
                  incurred for labor, parts, or travel to perform such service.

         12.2     Service Training.

                  Aspect agrees to provide initial service training to a
                  mutually agreed upon number of Datascope service
                  representatives prior to the market release of the [**]
                  Systems, as well as periodic (typically [**]) ongoing training
                  for existing and new Datascope service personnel.

         12.3     Service Period.

                  For a period of [**] following the last delivery to Datascope
                  of the applicable Aspect Product ordered by Datascope
                  hereunder, Aspect shall use its reasonable efforts to make
                  available repair service (or at Aspect's sole discretion,
                  exchange units for the Aspect Products) for purchase by
                  Datascope and third party users of the Aspect products at
                  Aspect's then-current prices for such repair services and
                  exchange units. After expiry of this [**] period, Aspect may,
                  in its sole discretion, continue to supply repair services
                  (and/or exchange units for the Aspect Products) subject to the
                  mutual written agreement of the Parties.

         12.4     Service Reporting.

                  Aspect shall maintain a complete record of all repair
                  activities performed on any Aspect Products received for

                  repair.

13.  QUALITY ASSURANCE.

         13.1     Certification Status. Both parties agree to maintain, as
                  applicable, ISO900x or ISO13485, EN460x, European directive
                  93/42/EEC Annex II ("MDD AX-II") certification status and
                  compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations ("FDA")
                  Quality System Regulation ("QSR"), the European Medical Device
                  Directive ("MDD"), and other appropriate regulations pertinent
                  to the development, manufacturing and marketing of medical
                  products similar to the Aspect Products.

         13.2     Aspect Product Compliance. All Aspect Products sold by Aspect
                  under this Agreement shall fully comply with the above quality
                  requirements and guidelines (MDD AX-II, FDA QSR, etc.)

         13.3     QA and Regulatory Audits. Aspect shall permit Datascope's
                  Quality Assurance department to conduct a reasonable audit of
                  its facilities at a mutually agreed upon date after the date
                  of this Agreement for the purpose of approving its status as
                  an OEM supplier, and reasonable periodic audits thereafter for
                  the purpose of confirming continuing compliance with
                  applicable quality and regulatory requirements and guidelines.
                  Such audits shall be scheduled with at least [**] advance
                  notice during normal business hours and shall not take place
                  more than once per calendar year.

14.  REGULATORY MATTERS.

         14.1     Aspect Products.

                  Aspect shall assume full regulatory responsibility for the
                  Aspect Products, including obtaining and maintaining all
                  applicable governmental authorizations and regulatory
                  approvals required to distribute the Aspect [**] Kit. Both
                  Parties shall work together to develop a regulatory plan which
                  defines precisely what the regulatory and localization
                  requirements are for Datascope. In particular, Aspect shall be
                  responsible for generating its own Device Master Record for
                  the Aspect [**] Kit. It is understood that the Aspect [**] Kit
                  shall be a component of the Datascope [**] System.

         14.2     Datascope [**] System.

                  Datascope shall assume the regulatory responsibility for the
                  combination of the Aspect and Datascope components in the
                  Datascope [**] System. Aspect shall provide commercially
                  reasonable support to Datascope as required in the process of
                  obtaining regulatory approvals by making available to
                  Datascope any required information, data, certificates, or
                  technical files as requested by the regulatory authorities.

         14.3     Product Complaints and Incident Reporting.

                  Datascope and Aspect shall inform each other in writing
                  immediately about any event that may require incident
                  reporting in any country. Datascope and Aspect shall inform
                  each other in

                                      11/32
<PAGE>

            ASPECT / DATASCOPE OEM DEVELOPMENT AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  writing within [**] business days of a customer complaint
                  regarding the Datascope [**] System, the Aspect Products, or
                  (outside the United States) Aspect BIS Sensors. Both parties
                  will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to
                  resolve such customer complaints. Closure of any customer
                  complaint relating to the Datascope [**] will occur when
                  Datascope notifies Aspect that the problem is resolved.
                  Closure of any customer complaint relating solely to Aspect
                  Products or Aspect Sensors will occur when Aspect notifies
                  Datascope that the problem is resolved.

         14.5     Delegation.

                  Datascope may at its sole discretion delegate some of the
                  obligations under this Section 14 to its sub-distributors.

         14.6     Traceability.

                  Datascope agrees to maintain traceability through serial
                  number and/or lot code for all Aspect products shipped to
                  customer.

         14.7     Recalls and Payments.

                  In the event that Aspect desires to take a corrective action
                  (including notifications or recalls) with respect to any of
                  the Aspect Products sold to Datascope's customer or an end
                  user that have been incorporated in any of the customer's
                  products and distributed by the customer, and such action (i)
                  is required to comply with applicable laws or regulations,
                  (ii) is determined by Aspect in its discretion for a
                  reasonable business purpose or for safety reasons or (iii) is
                  the result of Aspect's failure to supply Aspect Products that
                  conform with the applicable warranty for such Aspect Products,
                  the party's actions that required such action shall be
                  responsible for the repair or replacement of the Aspect
                  Products without cost to the other party, its Affiliates,
                  distributors and subdistributors. The parties agree to consult
                  with each other to establish a reasonable process for managing
                  the corrective action.

15.  PRODUCT CHANGES; DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS; FUTURE PRODUCTS; CONTINUED SUPPLY.

         15.1     Software Updates.

                  Aspect shall make available to Datascope all future software
                  features and performance improvements to the BIS software and
                  the Aspect [**] Kit.

         15.2     Product Changes

                  Aspect shall have the right, at any time and from time to
                  time, to make substitutions and modifications to Aspect
                  Products, provided such substitutions or modifications shall
                  not materially affect form, fit, function, reliability,
                  serviceability, performance, functional interchangeability or
                  interface capability of Aspect Products and further provided
                  that Aspect attends to and pays for any associated regulatory
                  related to the substitution or modification. In the event that
                  any proposed substitution or modification affects, in Aspect's
                  reasonable

            ASPECT / DATASCOPE OEM DEVELOPMENT AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  judgment, the form, fit, function, reliability,
                  serviceability, performance, functional interchangeability or
                  interface capability of an Aspect Product, Aspect shall give
                  Datascope written notice of such proposed substitution or
                  modification at least [**] days prior to its taking effect.
                  Datascope, however, shall have the right, during such [**] day

                  delivery up to [**] days after such substitution or
                  modification takes effect. If as the expiration of the [**]
                  day period Datascope wishes to still have the original design
                  Aspect Product available, Aspect will either continue the
                  original design as long as Datascope continues to order said
                  design or provide Datascope with the technology, tooling
                  designs, equipment design and their right to manufacture or
                  have manufactured for it the original design Aspect Product.
                  Aspect shall provide the appropriate verification and
                  validation information for evaluating the effect of the change
                  on the Datascope [**].

         15.3     Discontinued Products.

                  Aspect agrees to notify Datascope in writing not less than
                  [**] months in advance of the discontinuance of any Aspect
                  Products purchased by Datascope. Datascope shall be able to
                  place orders for at least [**] months after receipt of the
                  written notice in any case. In addition, Datascope shall be
                  entitled to determine its lifetime-buy quantities and place a
                  corresponding last purchase order.

         15.4     Future Products.

                  The Aspect Products are designed for use in measuring the
                  effects of anesthetic and sedative agents on the brain during
                  surgery and in the intensive care environment.

                  15.4.1   Aspect has an agreement with Boston Scientific
                           Corporation for an option of exclusive distribution

16.  OWNERSHIP AND PROTECTION OF RESULTS.

         16.1     No Transfer of Ownership.

                  It is expressly agreed that neither Aspect nor Datascope shall
                  transfer to the other Party any patent rights, copyrights or
                  other intellectual property of any kind that either Party owns

                  for or obtained in connection with this Agreement and related

         Aspect agrees to provide Datascope with product literature, sales team
         and customer training tools, operations and maintenance manuals, and
         other information and training to enable Datascope to sell and maintain
         Aspect Products.

18.  CONFIDENTIALITY.

         No confidential information disclosed by either Party to the other in
         connection with this Agreement shall be disclosed to any person or
         entity other than the recipient Party's employees and contractors
         directly involved with the recipient Party's use of such information
         who are bound by written agreement to protect the confidentiality of
         such information, and such information shall otherwise be protected by
         the recipient Party from disclosure to others with the same degree of
         care accorded to its own confidential information of like importance.
         In addition, each Party and its representatives shall use the
         confidential information only for the purposes specified under this
         Agreement and such information shall not be used for any other purpose
         without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party. To be
         subject to this provision, information must be delivered in writing and
         designated as proprietary or confidential, or if initially delivered
         orally, must be identified at the time of disclosure, and confirmed in
         writing as confidential within ten (10) days after such oral
         disclosure. Information shall not be subject to this provision if it is
         or becomes a matter of public knowledge without the fault of the
         recipient Party, if it was a matter of written record in the recipient
         Party's files prior to disclosure to it by the other Party, if it was
         or is received by the recipient Party from a third person under
         circumstances permitting its unrestricted disclosure by the recipient
         Party, or if it was independently developed by the recipient Party
         without reference to the confidential information. Upon termination of
         this Agreement, each Party shall promptly destroy all confidential
         information of the other Party in the possession or control of such
         Party and all copies thereof, provided that each Party may retain one
         copy thereof for archival purposes. The obligations under this Section
         16 shall continue for both parties for a period of five (5) years after
         delivery by Aspect to Datascope of the last Aspect Product under this
         Agreement. Datascope is entitled to transmit confidential information
         of Aspect to Datascope subsidiaries and affiliated companies. In such,
         case these subsidiaries and affiliated companies may only use such
         information to the same extent as Datascope is entitled to use such
         information under this Agreement. Datascope shall be responsible if any
         of these subsidiaries and affiliated companies fails to comply with the
         confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

                  attorney's fees) arising out of any claim that an Aspect
                  Product infringes a valid patent or copyright in the Territory
                  or misappropriates a trade secret of a third party, provided
                  that (i) Datascope shall have promptly provided Aspect written
                  notice thereof and reasonable cooperation, information, and
                  assistance in connection therewith, and (ii) Aspect shall have
                  sole control and authority with respect to the defense,
                  settlement, or compromise thereof. Should any Aspect Product
                  become, or, in Aspect's opinion, be likely to become the
                  subject of an injunction preventing its use as a contemplated
                  herein, Aspect may, at its option, (1) procure for Datascope
                  the right to continue using such Aspect Product, (2) replace
                  or modify such Aspect Product so that it becomes
                  non-infringing, or, if (1) and (2) are not reasonably
                  available to Aspect, then (3) accept return of the allegedly
                  infringing Aspect Product and refund to Datascope the amount
                  which Datascope has paid to Aspect for such Aspect Product.

                  (a)      Aspect shall have no liability or obligation to
                           Datascope hereunder with respect to any patent,
                           copyright or trade secret infringement claim thereof
                           based upon (i) use of the Aspect Product by Datascope
                           in combination with devices or products not provided
                           by Aspect (ii) use of the Aspect Product in an
                           application or environment for which such Aspect
                           Product was not designed or contemplated, (iii)
                           modifications, alterations or enhancements of the
                           Aspect Product not created by or for Aspect, or (iv)
                           any claims of infringement of a patent, copyright or
                           trade secret in which Datascope or any affiliate of
                           Datascope has an interest. Datascope shall indemnify
                           and hold Aspect harmless from all costs, damages and
                           expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees)
                           arising from any claim enumerated in clauses (i)
                           through (iv) above.

                  (b)      In the event that any claim is brought against
                           Datascope as a result of personal injuries and/or
                           property damages resulting from that portion of the
                           Datascope [**] System developed and manufactured by
                           Aspect, and provided further that such claims do not
                           arise as a result of Datascope or its customer's
                           misuse of the Aspect Products, or Datascope or its
                           customer's use of the Aspect Products in an
                           application for which it was not designed by Aspect,
                           where such claim would not have occurred but for such
                           Datascope or its customer's misuse or Datascope or
                           its customer's use, Aspect agrees that it shall
                           indemnify and hold Datascope and its directors,
                           officers, employees, representatives and agents
                           harmless from and against any damages, liabilities,
                           costs and expenses (including attorneys' and other
                           professional fees and other costs of litigation)
                           arising out of such claim, provided that the
                           procedures set forth in Section 19.3 are followed.

         19.2      Indemnification by Datascope.

                  Except as provided below, Datascope shall defend and indemnify
                  Aspect from and against any damages, liabilities, costs and
                  expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of
                  any claim that a Datascope Patient Monitor infringes, for
                  reasons other than the incorporation of the Aspect Product
                  within such Datascope Patient Monitor, a valid patent or
                  copyright in the Territory or misappropriates a trade secret
                  of a third party, provided that (i) Aspect shall have promptly
                  provided Datascope written notice thereof and reasonable
                  cooperation, information, and assistance in connection
                  therewith, and (ii) Datascope shall have sole control and
                  authority with respect to the defense, settlement, or
                  compromise thereof.

                  (a)      Datascope shall have no liability or obligation to
                           Aspect hereunder with respect to any patent,
                           copyright or trade secret infringement claim thereof
                           based upon (i) use of the Datascope Patient Monitor
                           by Aspect in combination with devices or products not
                           provided by Datascope, (ii) use of the Datascope
                           Patient Monitor in an application or environment for
                           which such Datascope Patient Monitor was not designed
                           or contemplated, (iii) modifications, alterations or
                           enhancements of the Datascope Patient Monitor not
                           created by or for Datascope, or (iv) any claims of
                           infringement of a patent, copyright or trade secret

                           interest. Aspect shall indemnify and hold Datascope
                           harmless from all costs, damages and expenses
                           (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from
                           any claim enumerated in clauses (i) through (iv)
                           above

                  (b)      In the event that any claim is brought against Aspect
                           as a result of personal injuries and/or property
                           damages resulting from the Datascope [**] System, and
                           provided further that such claims do not arise as a
                           result of the defective design or operation of that
                           portion of the Datascope [**] System developed or
                           manufactured by Aspect, Datascope agrees that it

                           professional fees and other costs of litigation)
                           arising out of such claim, provided that the
                           procedures set forth in Section 19.3 are followed.

         19.3     Indemnification Procedures.

                  (a)      In the event that any person intends to claim
                           indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, (an
                           "Indemnitee"), it shall promptly notify the
                           indemnifying Party (the "Indemnitor") in writing of
                           such alleged liability, provided that the failure to
                           promptly notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the
                           Indemnitor of any obligation under this Agreement
                           except to the extent

                           such failure to provide prompt notice adversely
                           impairs the Indemnitor's ability to defend against
                           the claim, suit or proceeding.

                  (b)      The Indemnitor shall have the sole right to control
                           the defense and settlement thereof, provided, that
                           (i) the Indemnitor may not consent to imposition of
                           any obligation or restriction on the Indemnitee in
                           any settlement unless mutually agreed among Aspect
                           and Datascope (ii) Indemnitor shall keep Indemnitee
                           fully informed and permit the Indemnitee to
                           participate (at Indemnitee's expense) as the
                           Indemnitee may reasonably request and (iii)
                           Indemnitee may, without affecting its right to
                           indemnity hereunder, defend and settle any such
                           claim, suit or proceeding if Indemnitor declines to
                           defend against such claim, suit or proceeding or
                           Files for Bankruptcy. The Indemnitee shall cooperate
                           with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in
                           the investigation of any action, claim or liability
                           covered by this Agreement.

                  (c)      The Indemnitee shall not, except at its own cost,
                           voluntarily make any payment or incur any expense
                           with respect to any claim or suit without the prior
                           written consent of Indemnitor, which Indemnitor shall
                           not be required to give, provided that the Indemnitee
                           may, without affecting its right to indemnity
                           hereunder, defend and settle any such claim, suit or
                           proceeding if the Indemnitor declines to take
                           responsibility or Files for Bankruptcy.

20.  TRADEMARKS.

         20.1     Trademarks.

                  (a)      Ownership.

                           Datascope acknowledges and agrees that Aspect is the
                           sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and
                           interest in, or has valid licenses to the trademarks
                           (the "Aspect Trademarks") identified on Exhibit D
                           (Aspect Trademarks). Aspect acknowledges and agrees
                           that Datascope is the sole and exclusive owner of all
                           right, title and interest in and to the trademarks
                           (the "Datascope Trademarks") identified on Exhibit D
                           (collectively the "Aspect and Datascope" Trademarks).
                           Each Party recognizes the value of the other Party's
                           Trademarks and the good will associated with the
                           other Party's Trademarks. Datascope agrees that its
                           use of the Aspect Trademarks and any good will

                  to this Agreement or any related agreement or the validity,
                  interpretation, breach or termination thereof (a "Dispute"),
                  including claims seeking redress or asserting rights under
                  applicable law, shall be resolved in accordance with the
                  procedures set forth herein. Until completion of such
                  procedures, no Party may take any action not contemplated
                  herein to force a resolution of the Dispute by any judicial or
                  similar process, except to the limited extent necessary to;
                  (i) avoid expiration of a claim that might eventually be
                  permitted hereby; or (ii) obtain interim relief, including
                  injunctive relief, to preserve the status quo or prevent
                  irreparable harm.

         24.2     Waiver.

                  In connection with any Dispute, the parties expressly waive
                  and forego any right to (i) punitive, exemplary, statutory,
                  enhanced or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages
                  and (ii) trial by jury.

         24.3     Good Faith Negotiations.

                  Any Dispute relating to this Agreement (a "Dispute") will be
                  resolved first through good faith negotiations between
                  appropriate management-level representatives of each Party
                  having responsibility for the sale or use of products
                  involved.

         24.4     Mediation.

                  If within sixty (60) days the parties are unable to resolve
                  the dispute through good faith negotiation, either Party may
                  submit a Dispute for resolution by mediation pursuant to the
                  Center for Public Resources Model Procedure for Mediation of
                  Business Disputes as then in effect. The mediation shall be
                  conducted in Boston, Massachusetts. Mediation will continue
                  for at least thirty (30) days unless the mediator chooses to
                  withdraw sooner. At the request of either Party, the mediator
                  will be asked to provide an evaluation of the Dispute and the
                  parties' relative positions. Each Party shall bear its own
                  costs of mediation effort.

         24.5     Arbitration.

                  After completion of any mediation effort, a Party may submit
                  the Dispute for resolution by arbitration pursuant to the
                  Non-Administered Arbitration Rules of the Center for Public
                  Resources as in effect on the date hereof, unless the parties
                  agree to adopt such rules as in effect at the time of the
                  arbitration. The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of one
                  arbitrator; and the arbitration shall be conducted in Boston,
                  Massachusetts. If the resolution of the Dispute is not found
                  within the terms of this Agreement, the arbitrator shall
                  determine the Dispute in accordance with the governing law of
                  the Agreement, without giving effect to any conflict of law
                  rules or other rules that might render such law inapplicable
                  or unavailable. The prevailing Party in any arbitration
                  conducted under this Section shall be entitled to recover from
                  the other Party (as part of the arbitral award or order) its
                  reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs of arbitration.

         24.5     Applicable Law.

                  The law applicable to the validity of this arbitration
                  provision, the conduct of the arbitration, the challenge to or
                  enforcement of any arbitral award or order or any other
                  question of arbitration law or procedure shall be governed
                  exclusively by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections
                  1-16; however, the award can be modified or vacated on grounds
                  cited in the Federal Arbitration Act or, if the arbitrator's
                  findings of facts are not supported by substantial evidence or
                  the conclusions of law are erroneous, under the laws of the
                  Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The place of

            ASPECT / DATASCOPE OEM DEVELOPMENT AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  arbitration shall be in Boston, Massachusetts. The parties
                  agree that the federal and state courts located in the
                  Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall have exclusive
                  jurisdiction over any action brought to enforce this
                  arbitration provision, and each Party irrevocably submits to
                  the jurisdiction of said courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing
                  sentence, either Party may apply to any court of competent
                  jurisdiction, wherever situated, for enforcement of any
                  judgment on an arbitral award.

         24.6     Time Limit.

                  Except as time barred under any applicable statute of
                  limitations of lesser duration, any claim by either Party
                  shall be time-barred unless the asserting Party commences an
                  arbitration proceeding with respect to such claim within two
                  years after the cause of action has accrued.

         24.7     Provisional or Interim Judicial Measures.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
                  parties expressly agree that prior to the first meeting of the
                  arbitrator either shall have the right to apply to any state
                  or federal court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any
                  other court that would otherwise have jurisdiction, for
                  provisional or interim measures.

         24.8     Consolidated Proceedings.

                  Each Party hereby consents to a single, consolidated
                  arbitration proceeding of multiple claims, or claims involving
                  more than two parties. The prevailing Party or parties in any
                  arbitration conducted under this paragraph shall be entitled
                  to recover from the other Party or parties (as part of the
                  arbitral award or order) its or their reasonable attorneys'
                  fees and other reasonable costs of arbitration.

25.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         25.1     Force Majeure.

                  In the event that either Party is prevented from performing,
                  or is unable to perform, any of its obligations under this
                  Agreement due to any act of God, fire, casualty, flood, war,
                  strike, lock out, failure of public utilities, injunction or
                  any act, exercise, assertion or requirement of governmental
                  authority, epidemic, destruction of production facilities,
                  insurrection, inability to procure materials, labor,
                  equipment, transportation or energy sufficient to meet
                  manufacturing needs, or any other cause beyond the reasonable
                  control of the Party invoking this provision, and if such
                  Party shall have used its best efforts to avoid such
                  occurrence and minimize its duration and has given prompt
                  written notice to the other Party, then the affected Party's
                  performance shall be excused and the time for performance
                  shall be extended for the period of delay or inability to
                  perform due to such occurrence.

         25.2     Publicity.

                  Neither Party shall originate any publicity, news release or
                  other public announcement relating to this Agreement or the
                  existence of an arrangement between the Parties without the
                  prior written approval of the other Party, except as otherwise
                  required by law.

         25.3     Waiver.

                  The waiver by either Party of a breach or a default of any
                  provision of this Agreement by the other Party shall not be
                  construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or
                  any other provision, nor shall any delay or omission on the
                  part of either Party to exercise or avail itself of any right,
                  power or privilege that it has, or may have hereunder, operate
                  as a waiver of any right, power or privilege by such Party.

         25.4     No Agency.

                  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
                  constitute either Party as the agent or representative of the
                  other Party, or both Parties as joint venturers or partners
                  for any purpose. Neither Party shall be responsible for the
                  acts or omissions of the other Party, and neither Party shall
                  have authority to speak for, represent or obligate the other
                  Party in any way without prior written authority from the
                  other Party.

         25.5     Survival of Obligations.

                  All obligations of either Party under Sections 11 (Warranty),
                  12 (Service and Support), 14 (Regulatory Matters), 16
                  (Ownership and Protection of Results), 18 (Confidentiality),

                  expiration or termination of this Agreement and continue to be
                  enforceable.

         25.6     LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.

                  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 19, EACH PARTY'S LIABILITY
                  ARISING OUT OF THE MANUFACTURE, SALE OR SUPPLYING OF ASPECT
                  PRODUCTS OR THEIR USE OR DISPOSITION, WHETHER BASED UPON

                  AMOUNTS PAID AND PAYABLE BY DATASCOPE TO ASPECT UNDER THIS
                  AGREEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE
                  OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER
                  INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF
                  PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF USE DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF
                  THE MANUFACTURE, SALE OR SUPPLYING OF ASPECT PRODUCTS.

                  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held by a
                  court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it
                  is invalid or in conflict with any law of any relevant
                  jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining provisions shall
                  not be affected and the rights and obligations of the Parties
                  shall be construed and enforced as if the Agreement did not
                  contain the particular provisions held to be unenforceable.

         25.8     Governing Law.

                  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
                  accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
                  without reference to conflict of laws principles, and shall
                  not be governed by the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the
                  International Sale of Goods.

         25.9     Notices.

                  Any notice or communication with regard to the termination of
                  or changes to this Agreement from one Party to the other shall
                  be in writing and either personally delivered or sent via
                  certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested
                  addressed, to such other Party at the address of such Party
                  specified in this Agreement or such other address as either
                  Party may from time to time designate by notice hereunder.

         25.10    Entire Agreement.

                  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
                  Parties. No waiver, consent, modification or change of terms
                  of this Agreement shall bind either Party unless in writing
                  signed by both Parties, and then such waiver, consent,
                  modification or change shall be effective only in the specific
                  instance and for the specific purpose given. There are no
                  understandings, agreements, representations or warranties,
                  expressed or implied, not specified herein regarding this
                  Agreement or the Aspect Products purchased and/or licensed
                  hereunder. Only the terms and conditions contained in this
                  Agreement shall govern the transactions contemplated
                  hereunder, notwithstanding any additional, different or
                  conflicting terms which may be contained in any Order or other
                  document provided by one Party to the other. Failure of Aspect
                  to object to provisions contained in any Order or other
                  document provided by Datascope shall not be construed as a
                  waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement nor an
                  acceptance of any such provision.

         25.11    Headings.

                  Captions and headings contained in this Agreement have been
                  included for ease of reference and convenience and shall not
                  be considered in interpreting or construing this Agreement.

                  their respective affiliates, successors in interest and

                  excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

                  Neither Party may assign or delegate this Agreement or any
                  rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
                  written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably
                  withheld; provided, however, that Datascope may, without the
                  prior written consent of Aspect, assign and delegate this
                  Agreement and any or all of its rights and obligations
                  hereunder to any of its affiliates, and provided that either
