     Section 3.1. Voting of Shares.

          (a) The Medicor Parties shall vote all shares of Common Stock owned or

          (c) The Belfer Parties shall vote all shares of Common Stock owned or

     Section 3.2. Composition of the Board of Directors. (i) The Medicor Parties
shall vote all shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by them, and shall
take all necessary action within their control, (ii) the ERI Parties shall vote
all shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by them, and shall take all

          (a) The Board of Directors shall be comprised of eleven (11) Directors
(two of whom shall be Independent Directors) divided into three classes, with
Directors in each class having a three-year term following a transition period
in which the initial Class 1 Directors serve a one-year term, the initial Class
2 Directors serve a two-year term and the initial Class 3 Directors serve a
three-year term. Medicor and ERI shall each have the right to nominate one (1)
Director to Class 3, one (1) Director to Class 2 and one (1) Director to Class 1
and the Belfer Group shall have the right to nominate one (1) Director to Class

including Nevada Revised Statutes 78.335(1) requiring a vote of not less than
two-thirds of the issued and outstanding voting power to remove an incumbent
director, to remove, with or

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

without cause, any Director nominated in accordance with this Section 3.2 by
Medicor, ERI or the Belfer Group, respectively, and each of the Medicor Parties,
the ERI Parties and the Belfer Parties shall vote their Shares in furtherance of
this provision; and (ii) to nominate any replacement for a Director nominated in
accordance with this Section 3.2 by Medicor, ERI or the Belfer Group,
respectively, upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or

as a Director each person so nominated to fill a vacancy on the Board of
Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

               (i) if either the Medicor Parties or the ERI Parties own less
than 18% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock, then Medicor or ERI, as
the case may be, shall have the right to nominate only: (x) one (1) Director to
the class of Directors having the then longest remaining term; and (y) one (1)
Director to the class of Directors having the next longest remaining term;
provided that in either case, if necessary to put one or more of a Party's
Director nominees into such classes, the Company and the other Parties shall
cooperate as necessary to effect such nomination; provided, further, that the
right to change such classes may only be exercised in connection with the
reduction in the number of the Party's Director nominees;

               (ii) if either the Medicor Parties, the ERI Parties or the Belfer
Parties own less than 8% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock, then
Medicor, ERI or the Belfer Group, as the case may be, shall have the right to
nominate only one (1) Director to the class of Directors having the then longest
remaining term; provided that if necessary to put a Party's Director nominee
into such class, the Company and the other Parties shall cooperate as necessary
to effect such nomination; provided, further, that the right to change such
classes may only be exercised in connection with the reduction in the number of
the Party's Director nominees; and

               (iii) if either the Medicor Parties, the ERI Parties or the
Belfer Parties own less than 5% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock,
then Medicor, ERI or the Belfer Group, as the case may be, shall not have the
right to nominate any Directors.

          (b) For so long as any Party has the right to nominate a Director
under this Agreement, the Company will give such Party written notice of each
regularly scheduled meeting of its Board of Directors as far in advance as such
notice is required to be delivered to the Directors (and at least three business
days prior to the date of each special meeting of the Board of Directors), and
the Board of Directors will permit up to two (2) representatives of each such
Party to attend as observers of all meetings of the Board of Directors
(including any meetings of committees thereof); provided that in the case of
telephonic meetings conducted in accordance with the Company's bylaws and
applicable law, each such Party's representatives will be given the opportunity
to listen to such telephonic meetings. Each representative will be entitled to
receive all written materials and other information (including, without
limitation, copies of meeting minutes and press releases) given to Directors in
connection with such meetings at the same time such materials and information
are given to the Directors. If the Board of Directors proposes to take any
action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Board of Directors or of
any committee thereof, the Company will give written notice thereof to each such
Party who has the right to nominate a director under this Agreement prior to the
effective date of such consent describing in reasonable detail the nature and
substance of such

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

action. The Company will reimburse each Party that has observer rights under
this Section 3.2(b) for all reasonable expenses incurred by such Party's
representatives in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors
and committees thereof.

     Section 3.3. Approval of Major Actions. The Company may take and may permit
its Subsidiaries to take and engage in the following Major Actions only upon
receiving Supermajority Approval:

exercise of such options.

          (b) Debt to Total Capitalization. Incur Funded Debt of the Company and

such other amount, established by resolution of the Board of Directors (approved
by Supermajority Approval) from time to time), of the total assets of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, including a sale of the Company
effected by means of a sale of Common Stock, but excluding, however,
dispositions of assets in the ordinary course of business (including, but not
limited to, oil and gas production).

     Section 3.4. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The
Company, the Medicor Parties, the ERI Parties and the Belfer Parties shall take
or cause to be taken all lawful action necessary to ensure at all times that the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are at all times consistent with
the provisions of this Agreement.

restatement, substitution or modification of any contract, agreement,
transaction or other arrangement between the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company and any Medicor Person, ERI, any Belfer Person or any Affiliate of any
Medicor Person, ERI or any Belfer Person (a "Self-Interested Transaction") shall
require, except when the economic effect to the Company of any such action (or
set of related actions) is $50,000 or less, the affirmative vote of a majority
of the Disinterested Directors present at a duly called and noticed meeting at
which a quorum is present. "Disinterested Directors" shall include all Directors

                                   ARTICLE V
                               REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     Section 5.1. Demand Registrations.

          (a) Requests for Registration. Each of the Medicor Group, on behalf of
the Medicor Parties, ERI, on behalf of the ERI Parties, and the Belfer Group, on
behalf of the Belfer Parties, shall have the right to request registration under
the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or
any similar long-form registration or, if available, on Form S-2 or S-3 or any
similar short-form registration ("Short-Form Registrations") in accordance with
this Article V. All registrations requested pursuant to this Section 5.l(a) are
referred to herein as "Demand Registrations."

          (b) Short-Form Registrations. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form
Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short
form. The Company will use its best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations
available for the sale of Registrable Securities. Demand Registration requests
may be for shelf registrations if the Company is then eligible to effect shelf
registrations.

          (c) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The registration rights
granted under this Section 5.1 are expressly subject to the following terms and
conditions:

               1. The Company will not be obligated to effect any Demand
Registration within six (6) months after the effective date of a previous Demand
Registration.

               2. The Company may postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing
or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if
the Company notifies the Party initiating the Demand Registration within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of request for such registration (i) that the Company is
at such time conducting or about to conduct an underwritten public offering of
its securities for its own account and the Board of Directors has determined in
its good faith judgment that such offering would be materially adversely
effected by such registration requested by such Party or (ii) that the Board of
Directors has determined, in

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

its good faith judgment, that such Demand Registration would reasonably be
expected to have an adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the
ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or
similar transaction; provided, that, in such event, the holders of Registrable
Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration will be entitled to
withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand
Registration will not count as a Demand Registration hereunder and the Company
will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such request.

               3. Any request for a Demand Registration shall not be otherwise
deemed to be effective unless such request includes the lesser of (i) at least
ten percent (10%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock or (ii) all of the
Common Stock owned by the Parties making the request. Each request for a Demand
Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities
requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such
offering.

               4. The Medicor Parties and the ERI Parties shall each be entitled
to initiate only three (3) Demand Registrations and the Belfer Parties shall be
entitled to initiate only two (2) Demand Registrations to register Registrable
Securities under the terms of this Section 5.1; provided, if one of such Parties
joins in the Demand Registration initiated by the other in accordance with
Section 5.1(c)(5), the initiating Party shall not be deemed to have initiated
the Demand Registration for purposes (and solely for the purposes) of the
limitation contained in this sentence.

               5. If at any time or from time to time any of the Parties shall
request registration of any Registrable Securities in accordance with this
Section 5.1, the Company shall give the other Parties prompt written notice of
the proposed registration. The other Parties shall have the right to join in
such registration by giving notice to the Company within five (5) business days
after such Party receives notice of the proposed registration from the Company
and the Company shall include in such registration the number of Registrable
Securities requested by such other Parties on the same terms and conditions as
the Registrable Securities of the Party initiating the request. If the managing
underwriter or underwriters of a proposed offering for which securities of more
than one of the Parties are included pursuant to this Section 5.1(c)(5) advise
the Company in writing that in its or their good faith judgment the total amount
of securities to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be
sold in such offering within a price range reasonably acceptable to the Parties,
then in such event the securities to be included in such offering shall be
allocated pro rata among each such Parties and their Permitted Transferees
participating in the offering based upon the number of Shares owned by each such
Party and its Permitted Transferees.

               6. Any registration statement filed on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule
415 of the Securities Act covering Registrable Securities shall be restricted
for use pursuant to a firmly underwritten offering of Common Stock; provided,
however, that a shelf registration statement filed under Rule 415 will not
require a firm commitment underwritten offering for (i) sales of Common Stock
constituting block sales of less than five percent (5%) of the Common Stock
outstanding to institutional investors in solicited transactions, or (ii) sales
into the market

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

in unsolicited brokers transactions if the total amount of shares registered for
sale in this manner involves less than ten percent (10%) of the shares of Common
Stock then outstanding. Each offering of Registrable Securities under this
Section 5.1 pursuant to a shelf registration statement under Rule 415, other
than offers and sales of Common Stock pursuant to subsections (i) and (ii) of
the preceding sentence, shall be treated as a Demand Registration (other than
for purposes of Section 5.1(c)(1)) and must satisfy all requirements for a
Demand Registration.

          (d) Other Registration Rights. The Company will not grant to any
Person the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the
Company with terms more favorable to such Person than those granted in this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Medicor Group, ERI and the
Belfer Group.

     Section 5.2. Piggyback Registrations.

          (a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any
of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on
Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar forms and other than a Demand
Registration pursuant to Section 5.1) and the registration form to be used may
be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback
Registration"), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company will
give prompt written notice to the Medicor Group, on behalf of the Medicor
Parties, ERI, on behalf of the ERI Parties, and the Belfer Group, on behalf of
the Belfer Parties, of its intention to effect such a registration and will
include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which
the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty
(20) days after the receipt of the Company's notice. The Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to include, and to cause the managing underwriters, if
applicable, to include in the proposed offering such Registrable Securities on
the same terms and conditions as the securities of the Company included in such
registration.

          (b) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is
an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of
securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number
which can be sold in such offering within a price range reasonably acceptable to
the Company, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the
securities the Company proposes to sell, to the extent of availability and, (ii)
second, all other securities (including the Registrable Securities) requested to
be included in such registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof
on the basis of the number of securities owned by each such holder.

          (c) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration
is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's
securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in
their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering within a
price range reasonably acceptable to such holders, the securities which can be
included in such registration shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, the
securities (including the Registrable Securities) requested to be included in
such registration by the Persons exercising the Demand Registration, (ii) then,
to the extent of availability, securities to be registered for the account of
the Company and (iii) thereafter, to the extent of availability, to other
security holders

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

exercising piggyback registration rights, pro rata based upon the number of
Shares owned by each such holder.

          (d) Limited Purpose Shelf Registration Statement. In order to
facilitate the exercise by the Medicor Group, ERI and the Belfer Group of their
Piggyback Registration rights, upon request of either the Medicor Group, ERI or
the Belfer Group (any such request shall not constitute a Demand Registration
for purposes of Section 5.1), the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission one or more registration statements on Form S-3 under Rule 415 of the
Securities Act providing for the resale of Registrable Securities in an amount
of shares to be mutually agreed by Company and the Medicor Group, ERI and the
Belfer Group from time to time, provided, that such registration statement on
Form S-3 shall be restricted for use by the holders of the securities subject to
such registration statement only for participation pursuant to Section 5.2 in a
firmly underwritten public offering of Common Stock proposed by the Company for
the account of the Company or the account of any other security holder.

     Section 5.3. Holdback Agreements.

          (a) If requested in writing by the Company or the managing
underwriters, if any, of any registration effected pursuant to Sections 5.1 or
5.2, the Medicor Group agrees not to and will cause the other Medicor Parties
not to, ERI agrees not to and will cause the other ERI Parties not to, and the
Belfer Group agrees not to and will cause the other Belfer Parties not to effect
any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity
securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for such securities, during the time period reasonably requested by
the managing underwriters, not to exceed seven (7) days prior to and the 180-day
period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration,
any underwritten Piggyback Registration or other underwritten registration by
the Company of its securities (except as part of such underwritten
registration).

          (b) If requested in writing by the managing underwriters of any
registration effected pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Company agrees (i) not
to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities,
during the time period reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, not to
exceed seven days prior to and during the 180-day period beginning on the
effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten
Piggyback Registration (except as part of such underwritten registration or
pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor forms), and
(ii) to cause each holder of its Common Stock, or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, purchased from the Company
at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered public
offering), to so agree.

          (c) If the Company has previously filed a registration statement with
respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.2, and if such
previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company will not
file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity
securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its
equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or
any successor forms), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder
or holders of

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

such securities, until a period of at least ninety (90) days has elapsed from
the effective date of such previous registration.

     Section 5.4. Registration Procedures. Whenever the Medicor Group, on behalf
of the Medicor Parties, ERI, on behalf of the ERI Parties, or the Belfer Group
on behalf of the Belfer Parties has requested that any Registrable Securities be
registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to
effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto
the Company will as expeditiously as possible:

          (a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and thereafter use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that,
before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the
holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be
subject to reasonable review of such counsel);

          (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for
a period of either (i) not less than six months (subject to extension pursuant
to Section 5.7(b)) or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten
offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a
prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of
Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer or (ii) such shorter period
as will terminate when all of the securities covered by such registration
statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration
statement (but in any event not before the expiration of any longer period
required under the Securities Act), and to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement until such time as all of such securities have been
disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller
or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

          (c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of
copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto,
the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller;

          (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable
Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which
may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such
seller (provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction);

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

          (e) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time
when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening of
any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration
statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, and, at the request of any such
seller, the Company will prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number
of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made;

          (f) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then
listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market or the
New York Stock Exchange;

          (g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable
Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

          (h) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting
agreements in customary form for similar offerings) and take all such other
actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or
the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate
the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation,
effecting a stock split or a combination of shares);

          (i) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable
Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by
any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's
officers, Directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

          (j) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement
covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of
the Company's first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the
registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

          (k) in the event of the issuance of any stop order, injunction or
other order or requirement suspending the effectiveness of a registration
statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related
prospectus or suspending the qualification of any securities included in such
registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its
reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order and to
notify the holders of all of the Registrable Securities covered by the
registration statement of such order;

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

          (l) obtain a cold comfort letter, dated the effective date of such
registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten
public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement), signed by the Company's independent public accountants in customary
form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort
letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold
reasonably request (provided that such Registrable Securities constitute at
least 10% of the securities covered by such registration statement);

          (m) provide a legal opinion of the Company's outside counsel, dated
the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration
includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under
the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each
amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included herein (including the
preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary
form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions
of such nature;

          (n) promptly furnish to the managing underwriter, if any, and each
seller of Registrable Securities copies of any written request by the Commission
or any state securities authority for amendments or supplements to a
registration statement or prospectus or for additional information; and

          (o) make reasonably available its employees and personnel and
otherwise provide reasonable assistance to any underwriters in the marketing of
Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering.

     The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which
any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information
regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing.

     Section 5.5. Registration Expenses.

          (a) The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses relating to any
registration of Registrable Securities hereunder. "Registration Expenses" shall
mean any and all fees and expenses incident to the Company's performance of or
compliance with this Article V, including, without limitation: (i) Commission,
stock exchange or National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. registration
and filing fees and all listing fees and fees with respect to the inclusion of
securities on the Nasdaq National Market, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance
with state securities or "blue sky" laws and in connection with the preparation
of a "blue sky" survey, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of blue sky counsel, (iii) printing expenses, (iv) messenger and
delivery expenses, (v) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (vi)
with respect to each registration, reasonable fees and disbursements of one
counsel for the selling holders of Shares (selected by the holders making the
Demand Registration request, in the case of a registration pursuant to Section
5.1, and selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
included in such registration, in the case of a registration pursuant to Section
5.2) as well as of one local counsel, (vii) fees and disbursements of all
independent public accountants (including the expenses of any audit and/or "cold
comfort"

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

letter) and fees and expenses of other persons, including special experts,
retained by the Company, and (viii) any other fees and disbursements of
underwriters, if any, customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the provisions of this Section
5.5 shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to cause these expense
provisions to comply with "blue sky" laws of each state in which the offering is
made and (ii) in connection with any registration hereunder, each holder of
Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all underwriting discounts and
commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the Registrable
Securities included in the offering by such holder.

     Section 5.6. Indemnification.

          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent
permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and
Directors and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or
several, to which such holder or any such Director or officer or controlling
person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i)
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or (B) in any application or other document or
communication (in this Section 5.6 collectively called an "application")
executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information
furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to
qualify any securities covered by such registration statement under the "blue
sky" or securities laws thereof, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each such
Director, officer and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company shall not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of
or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or
alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus or
preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any
application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein
or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or
prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has
furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In
connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such
underwriters, their officers and Directors and each Person who controls such
underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as
provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable
Securities.

          (b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of
Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the
Company in writing such information and documents as the Company reasonably
requests for use in connection with

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by
law, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Directors and officers
and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or any such Director or officer or controlling
person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i)
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or in any application or (ii) any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such
untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, any such
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein,
and such holder will reimburse the Company and each such Director, officer and
controlling person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability,
action or proceeding; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be
individual to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds
received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
registration statement.

          (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give
prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and
indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.

          (d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the indemnified party or any officer, Director or controlling Person of such
indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities by any holder
thereof. The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably
requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event
the Company's indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

     Section 5.7. Participation in Underwritten Registrations.

          (a) If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering
pursuant to a Demand Registration requested under Section 5.1, the Company shall
enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Such
underwriting agreement shall be

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

satisfactory in form and substance to the Person who requested such registration
and shall contain such representations and warranties by, and such other
agreements on the part of, the Company and such other terms as are generally
prevailing in agreements of that type, including, without limitation,
indemnities and contribution agreements. Such underwriting agreement shall also
contain such representations, warranties, indemnities and contributions by the
participating holders as are customary in agreements of that type. In the case
of a registration pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, if the Company shall have
determined to enter into any underwriting agreements in connection therewith,
all of the holders' Registrable Securities to be included in such registration
shall be subject to such underwriting agreement. Such underwriting agreement
shall also contain such representations, warranties, indemnities and
contributions by the participating holders as are customary in agreements of
that type.

          (b) Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder
agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 5.4(e) above, such Person will forthwith
discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration statement until such Person's receipt of the copies of a
supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 5.4(e). In
the event the Company shall give any such notice, the applicable time period
mentioned in Section 5.4(b) during which a registration statement is to remain
effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and
including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this paragraph to
and including the date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by
such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.4(e).

     Section 5.8. Current Public Information. At all times after the Company has
filed a registration statement with the Commission pursuant to the requirements
of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company will file all
reports required to be filed by it under the Act and the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and will take such
further action as any holder or holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required to enable such holders to sell Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

     Section 5.9. Cooperation. If the Company determines to authorize and/or
issue any capital stock or other debt or equity securities in a public offering,
each of the Parties and their Permitted Transferees agrees to cooperate with the
Company and to take all action necessary to assist the Company in consummating
such transaction.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

telecommunicated, personally delivered or mailed.

     Section 6.2. Assignment; Binding Effect; Benefit. Any Party that Transfers
to a Permitted Transferee shall promptly give written notice of such Transfer to
the Parties pursuant to Section 6.1 and shall deliver to such Parties a copy of
the written agreement pursuant to which the Permitted Transferee has agreed to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Other than Transfers to Permitted
Transferees, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties or their Permitted
Transferees without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided,
that the Medicor Parties, the ERI Parties and the Belfer Parties may assign all
or a portion of their rights under Article V in connection with any Transfer of
Registrable Securities made in accordance with this Agreement if immediately
after the Transfer, the transferee beneficially owns at least ten percent (10%)
of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, in which event each
transferee will have rights and obligations under Article V as if it was a party
to this Agreement to the extent of such assignment. Subject to the preceding
sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties
hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and
assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of
this Agreement.

     Section 6.3. Entire Agreement. The Merger Agreement, this Agreement, the
exhibits and schedules hereto and any certificate delivered by the parties in
connection herewith constitute the entire agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings (oral and written) among the parties with respect thereto.

     Section 6.4. Amendment. No amendment, modification or waiver of this
Agreement shall be effective against any Party unless it shall be in writing and
signed by such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exhibit A shall be amended
or modified from time to time to reflect Transfers to Permitted Transferees by
giving written notice of such Transfers to the Parties pursuant to Section 6.1.

     Section 6.5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without
regard to its rules of conflict of laws. The Parties agree that any suit, action
or proceeding arising out of, or with respect to, this Agreement or any judgment
entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought only in the courts of the
State of Nevada or the federal district courts located within the State of
Nevada and the Parties hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts
for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding.

     Section 6.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one
and the same instrument. Each counterpart may

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

consist of a number of copies of this Agreement, each of which may be signed by
less than all of the parties hereto, but together all such copies are signed by
all of the parties hereto.

     Section 6.7. Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this
Agreement are for the convenience of the parties only and shall be given no
substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

     Section 6.8. Interpretation. In this Agreement, unless the context
otherwise requires: (i) words describing the singular number shall include the
plural and vice versa; (ii) "including" shall mean including, without
limitation; (iii) words denoting any gender shall include all genders; and (iv)
words denoting natural persons shall include corporations and partnerships and
vice versa.

     Section 6.9. Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and
schedules hereto are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all
purposes as if fully set forth herein.

     Section 6.10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which
is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or otherwise affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the
terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any
provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision
shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

     Section 6.11. Enforcement of Agreement. The Parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties and their
Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof in any court, this being in addition to any other remedy to
which they may be entitled at law or in equity.

     Section 6.12. Confidentiality. None of the Medicor Group, their Affiliates,
employees, agents or representatives, ERI, its Affiliates, employees, agents or
representatives nor the Belfer Group, their Affiliates, agents or
representatives shall disclose to any third party any information obtained about
the Company or its operations or business which it may have acquired pursuant to
this Agreement, the Original Shareholders Agreement, the Amended Shareholders
Agreement or the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement without the
prior written consent of the Company; provided, that any information that is
otherwise publicly available, without breach of this provision, or has been
obtained from a third party without a breach of such third party's duties, shall
not be deemed confidential information.

     Section 6.13. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall cease
to be binding on the Parties upon the earliest to occur of:

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

          (a) with respect to any Party and its Permitted Transferees, the date
on which such Party and its Permitted Transferees cease to own at least 5.0% of
the outstanding Common Stock; and

          (b) with respect to any Party and its Permitted Transferees, the date
on which such Party and its Permitted Transferees cease to own at least 25% of
the Common Stock owned by them as of the Effective Time; and

          (c) the date on which all of the Parties who are then bound hereby
mutually consent to terminate this Agreement in writing;

provided, however, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.13 (a), (b) and
(c) above, the provisions of Article V shall continue in effect with respect to
a Party and its Permitted Transferees as long as it holds Registrable Securities
and the provisions of Section 6.12 shall not terminate.

     Section 6.14. Belfer Group Representative. Robert A. Belfer shall be the
initial Belfer Group representative (the "Belfer Group Representative"). The
Belfer Group Representative may be changed by delivery of a written notification
delivered to the parties hereto and executed by all of the members of the Belfer
Group. Each member of the Belfer Group hereby appoints the person or entity who
is, from time to time, duly appointed under this Section 6.14 as the Belfer
Group Representative to give any consent or approval, exercise any right or take
any action contemplated under this Agreement on behalf of the Belfer Group. The
members of the Belfer Group shall be so bound by the Belfer Group Representative
and the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on the actions taken
by the Belfer Group Representative contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 6.15. Medicor Group Representative. Michael Russell shall be the
initial Medicor Group representative (the "Medicor Group Representative"). The
Medicor Group Representative may be changed by delivery of a written
notification delivered to the parties hereto and executed by all of the members
of the Medicor Group. Each member of the Medicor Group hereby appoints the
person or entity who is, from time to time, duly appointed under this Section
6.15 as the Medicor Group Representative to give any consent or approval,
exercise any right or take any action contemplated under this Agreement on
behalf of the Medicor Group. The members of the Medicor Group shall be so bound
by the Medicor Group Representative and the parties to this Agreement shall be
entitled to rely on the actions taken by the Medicor Group Representative
contemplated by this Agreement. The inclusion of WELLC and Medicor in a group,
referenced in this Agreement as the Medicor Group, and the appointment by WELLC
and Medicor of a Medicor Group Representative, as set forth above in this
Section 6.15, are merely for administrative convenience. Each of Medicor and
WELLC is a distinct legal entity, and neither Medicor nor WELLC controls the
other or is under the common control of a third party.

     Section 6.16. Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, this Agreement shall become effective upon the transfer by WELLC of
not less than nine million of its shares of Common Stock to Medicor (the
"Effective Time"). The representations and warranties contained herein shall be
deemed to have been made as of the Effective Time. If the above mentioned
transfer by WELLC to Medicor does not occur on or before April 15, 2003 for

                                      -27-

any reason, this Agreement shall terminate and the Second Amended and Restated
Shareholders Agreement shall remain in effect.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Third Amended and
Restated Shareholders Agreement and caused the same to be duly delivered on
their behalf as of the day and year first written above, to be effective as of
the Effective Date.
