efficacy reasons which is the result of CDIC's failure to supply CDIC Products
that (1) conform in all material respects to the applicable published
specifications, including the product specifications set forth in Exhibit B
(CDIC's ICG Module Kit) or (2) are free from defects in material and workmanship
(when given normal, proper and intended usage), CDIC agrees to repair or replace
at its own costs all CDIC Products subject to the recall and previously
delivered to Marquette. CDIC also agrees to consult with Marquette to establish
a reasonable process for managing the recall, and CDIC shall be responsible for
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenditures incurred by Marquette (including, but
not limited to shipping costs, labor and travel costs) that are consistent with
the recall process agreed to by the Parties. In the event that CDIC, at its sole
discretion, requests a recall that is not required by a governmental agency for
safety or efficacy reasons, CDIC shall be responsible for determining the scope
of the recall, and Marquette will provide input in the management of such a
recall, including the number of units, timeframe for the recall, and criteria
for completion. Marquette agrees to maintain all necessary sales records to
facilitate the recall.

14.  Product Changes; Discontinued Products; Future Products; Continued Supply.

     14.1      Product Changes. CDIC shall have the right, at any time, to make
               ---------------
substitutions and modifications to CDIC Products, provided that such
substitutions or modifications shall be backward compatible, i.e., they will not
materially affect form, fit, function, reliability, serviceability, performance,
functional interchangeability or interface capability of CDIC Products. In the
event that any proposed substitution or modification affects, in CDIC's
reasonable judgment, the form, fit, function, reliability, serviceability,
performance, functional interchangeability or interface capability of an CDIC
Product, CDIC shall give Marquette written notice of such proposed substitution
or modification at least ninety (90) days prior to its taking effect and
Marquette shall have the right, during such ninety (90) day period and for
ninety (90) days thereafter, to order CDIC Products without such substitution or
modification for delivery up to ninety (90) days after such substitution or

impedance. In the event that CDIC develops a product or software upgrade
involving this or a different type of measurement, patient sensor, or
application, CDIC and Marquette agree to discuss whether both Parties agree that
the product or software upgrade is chargeable, and, if so, negotiate in good
faith toward a new agreement for the purchase of such new product or upgrade by
Marquette. Software upgrades for the ICG Module Kit for software fixes alone are
not considered chargeable, and will be provided by CDIC to Marquette at no
charge.

               ------------
inventions) conceived, created or reduced to practice under this Agreement then
the rights to such developments shall be retained (a) by CDIC if solely
conceived, created and reduced to practice by CDIC, or (b) by Marquette, if
solely conceived, created and reduced to practice by Marquette, or (c) jointly

     obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
     on behalf of such Party, and constitutes a legal, valid, binding
     obligation, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms.

                    (c)       Consents. All necessary consents, approvals and
                              --------

     obtained.

                    (d)       No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this
                              -----------

     18.2      Warranties by CDIC
               ------------------

                    (a)       CDIC warrants solely to Marquette that CDIC
     Products (including CDIC Software) delivered hereunder shall perform in
     accordance with the CDIC ICG

                                                          CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

     Module Kit Specifications (CDIC's Standard Module Kit) and other applicable
     product specifications as published by CDIC in effect at the time of
     delivery of such CDIC Products (including Software), (provided that any
     such product specifications provide for at least the same level of
     functionality and performance of the CDIC Products as required under the
     specifications in Exhibit B) and shall be free from material defects in
     materials and workmanship, when given normal, proper and intended usage,
     for fifteen (15) months from date of receipt by Marquette or twelve (12)
     months from the date of installation to the end-customers, whichever is
     greater (excluding units sold for demonstration purposes which are
     thereafter sold to end-customers, in which case these units would only be
     warranted from the date of receipt by Marquette). The above warranty does
     not extend to any CDIC Products if and to the extent that problems with the
     CDIC Products arise because such Product is not maintained to CDIC's
     maintenance recommendations, or is operated, handled or stored in a manner
     other than that specified by CDIC in writing, has its serial number removed
     or altered or is treated with abuse, negligence or other improper treatment
     (including, without limitation, use outside the recommended environment).
     CDIC agrees, during the applicable warranty period, to repair or replace
     (at CDIC's option) all defective CDIC Products within thirty (30) days
     after the date of return to CDIC and without cost (including shipping) to
     Marquette. In the event that CDIC is unable to repair or replace such
     defective CDIC Products within such thirty (30) day period, CDIC agrees to
     refund to Marquette the amounts paid to CDIC for such defective CDIC
     Products and any costs and direct damages incurred by Marquette for such
     defective CDIC Products. This warranty shall not extend to any CDIC Product
     that is modified or altered (except as expressly provided herein) or is not
     maintained in accordance with CDIC's maintenance recommendations. This
     warranty shall not apply to expendable components and supply items, such
     as, but not limited to, cables, fuses and bulbs (or disposable items such
     as an CDIC DSB Sensor after the expiration date marked on the Sensor
     packaging); nor shall CDIC 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
     Marquette, or anyone claiming through or on behalf of Marquette, or from
     improper or unauthorized use of CDIC Products, or use of CDIC Products in a
     manner for which they were not designed, or by causes external to CDIC
     Products such as, but not limited to, power or air conditioning failure.

                    (b)       CDIC represents and warrants that it either has
     all rights, title and interest in, or valid licenses to, the CDIC Products
     and any intellectual property rights related thereto. CDIC represents and
     warrants that it has not granted any exclusive licenses or exclusive
     sublicenses in the CDIC Products that would prevent it from granting
     Marquette the licenses set forth in Section 4.2 hereof (CDIC Software
     License). CDIC also represents and warrants that it has the right and
     authority to engage in the joint development of the Marquette ICG Module as
     contemplated hereunder and that to its knowledge such activity will not
     infringe upon or misappropriate any third party's intellectual property
     rights.

                    (c)       CDIC warrants that it will deliver all CDIC
     Products free from the rightful claims of any third party for infringement
     of any Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights or misappropriation of Trade
     Secrets. CDIC warrants that as of the date of

     this Agreement, CDIC has received no notice of a claim of infringement or
     misappropriation from any third party regarding CDIC Products, except as
     set forth in that certain letter described in Exhibit F attached hereto.
     Marquette's exclusive remedy with respect to breach of any warranty
     provided in this Section 18.1 shall be that CDIC will defend at its own
     expense, and will pay the costs and damages (including attorneys' fees,
     other professional fees and other costs of litigation or settlement) made
     in settlement or awarded as a result of, any action brought against
     Marquette or any of Marquette's customers based on an allegation of such
     infringement or misappropriation with respect to any CDIC Product, provided
     that the Indemnification Procedures set forth in Section 18.4 are followed.
     If an injunction is obtained against Marquette's or its customers' use of
     an CDIC Product by reason of an infringement or misappropriation described
     above, or if in CDIC's opinion an CDIC Product or any part thereof is
     likely to become the subject of a claim of such infringement or
     misappropriation, CDIC will, at its option and its own expense procure the
     right for Marquette and its customers to continue using such CDIC Product,
     or replace or modify such CDIC Product or any part thereof so that it
     becomes non-infringing with a functionally equivalent replacement or a
     modified non-infringing CDIC Product that retains at least the same level
     of functionality. If neither of the foregoing options are reasonably
     available to CDIC, CDIC shall have the right to discontinue supplying such
     CDIC Products to Marquette, provided that CDIC compensate Marquette for
     damages incurred by it arising from CDIC's discontinuance in supplying such
     CDIC Products. CDIC shall not have any obligation to Marquette or its
     customers under any provision of this Section if the infringement or
     misappropriation claim is based upon the modification of any CDIC Product
     not made by or on behalf of CDIC, the use of CDIC Products in combination
     with any program or equipment, or any part thereof, not furnished or
     recommended in writing by CDIC, or the use of such CDIC Products in a
     manner or for any purpose, for which CDIC did not design or license them.

                    (d)       In the event that any claim is brought against
     Marquette as a result of personal injuries and/or property damages
     resulting from that portion of the Marquette ICG Module developed and
     manufactured by CDIC, and provided further that such claims do not arise as
     a result of the misuse of the CDIC Products, or the use of the CDIC
     Products in an application for which it was not designed by CDIC, where
     such claim would not have occurred but for such misuse or use, CDIC agrees
     that it shall indemnify and hold Marquette 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 18.4 are followed.

     18.3      Warranties by Marquette
               -----------------------

                    (a)       Marquette represents and warrants that it either
     has all rights, title and interest in, or valid license to, the Marquette
     Patient Monitor and any related intellectual property rights thereto.
     Marquette also represents and warrants that it has the right and authority
     to engage in the joint development of the Marquette ICG Module as
     contemplated hereunder and that to its knowledge such activity will not
     infringe upon or misappropriate any third party's intellectual property
     rights or violate the terms of any agreement Marquette has entered into
     with a third party.

                    (b)       Marquette warrants that as of the date of this
     Agreement, Marquette has received no notice of a claim of infringement or
     misappropriation from any third party regarding the Marquette Patient
     Monitor or any other Marquette-supplied component of the Marquette ICG
     Module. CDIC's exclusive remedy with respect to breach of any warranty
     provided in this Section 18.3 shall be that Marquette will defend at its
     own expense, and will pay the costs and damages (including attorneys' fees,
     other professional fees and other costs of litigation or settlement) made
     in settlement or awarded as a result of, any action brought against CDIC or
     any of CDIC's customers based on an allegation of such infringement or
     misappropriation with respect to any Marquette Patient Monitor or any other
     Marquette-supplied component of the Marquette ICG Module, provided that the
     Indemnification Procedures set forth in Section 18.4 are followed. If an
     injunction is obtained against CDIC's use of a Marquette Patient Monitor or
     any other Marquette-supplied component of the Marquette ICG Module by
     reason of an infringement or misappropriation described above, or if in
     Marquette's opinion a Marquette Patient Monitor or any other Marquette-
     supplied component of the Marquette ICG Module or any part thereof is
     likely to become the subject of a claim of such infringement or
     misappropriation, Marquette will, at its option and its own expense procure
     the right for CDIC and its customers to continue using such Marquette
     Patient Monitor or any other Marquette-supplied component of the Marquette
     ICG Module, or replace or modify such Marquette Patient Monitor or any
     other Marquette-supplied component of the Marquette ICG Module or any part
     thereof so that it becomes non-infringing. Marquette shall not have any
     obligation to CDIC under any provision of this Section 18.3 if the
     infringement or misappropriation claim is based upon the use of Marquette
     Patient Monitors or any other Marquette-supplied component of the Marquette
     ICG Modules in combination with any program or equipment, or any part
     thereof, not furnished or recommended in writing by Marquette, or the use
     of such Marquette Patient Monitors or any other Marquette-supplied

     any purpose, for which Marquette did not design or license them.

                    (c)       In the event that any claim is brought against
     CDIC as a result of personal injuries and/or property damages resulting
     from the Marquette ICG Module, and provided further that such claims do not
     arise as a result of the defective design or operation of that portion of
     the Marquette ICG Module developed or manufactured by CDIC, Marquette
     agrees that it shall indemnify and hold CDIC 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 18.4 are followed.

                    (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

     on the Indemnitee in any settlement unless mutually agreed among CDIC and
     Marquette (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 a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code. 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.

                              ---------
     CDIC is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in,
     or has valid licenses to the trademarks of CDIC and associated goodwill

     (under license by Marquette and subject to Marquette's quality control
     requirements), and any good will arising therefrom shall inure to the
     benefit of Marquette. Nothing contained herein shall create, nor shall be
     construed as an assignment of, any right, title or interest in or to the
     CDIC Trademarks to Marquette, or the Marquette Trademarks to CDIC, other
     than the grant of the licenses in Section 19.1 (c) below; it being
     acknowledged and agreed that all other right, title and interest in and to

     or any other rights of the other Party in or to its Trademarks.

                    (b)       Notice. All Marquette ICG Modules that use the
                              ------
     CDIC Trademarks or the Marquette Trademarks shall be accompanied, where
     reasonable and appropriate, by a proprietary notice consisting of the

     which to begin to use the "(R)" symbol in replacement of the "(TM)" symbol
     upon receiving instructions to do so by CDIC for all new stock of such
     materials. Marquette may continue to deliver stocked literature before the
     change becomes effective.

                    (iii)     Marquette shall reproduce copyright and trademark
     notices of CDIC on the "set-up screen" or in the same location where

     utilize the other Party's Trademarks for any other purpose or in any other
     manner.

                    (d)       Quality Standards
                              -----------------

                    (i)       Inspection. Upon reasonable notice and request,
                              ----------
     each Party will furnish to the other samples of its applicable advertising
     and promotional materials as necessary to allow the requesting Party to
     monitor compliance with this Agreement.

                    (ii)      Compliance. CDIC acknowledges the high standards
                              ----------
     of quality and excellence established by Marquette with respect to products
     bearing Marquette Trademarks. Marquette acknowledges the high standards of
     quality and excellence established by CDIC with respect to products bearing
     CDIC Trademarks. Each Party agrees that Marquette ICG Modules which both
     Parties' Trademarks are used shall be of such quality so as to maintain
     such high standards and to reflect well upon both Parties. Each Party
     agrees to adhere to its own or the following quality standards (whichever
     may be more rigorous) for use of the other Party's Trademarks in connection
     with the Marquette ICG Module:

                    .    In order to ensure that the Marquette ICG Module
               distributed under both Parties' Trademarks complies with the
               consistent quality standards of each Party, all Marquette ICG
               Modules distributed by or for Marquette which bear an CDIC
               Trademark shall have been manufactured in accordance with product
               specifications and any other commercially reasonable guidelines
               provided to Marquette in writing by CDIC. Marquette shall cause
               each major new release of such Marquette ICG Modules to comply
               with such standards or remove the CDIC Trademark(s) from any such
               new release, which does not comply with such standards. Marquette
               shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which to bring newly
               manufactured Marquette ICG Modules into compliance with any
               commercially reasonable standard provided to it in writing by
               CDIC following the date of receipt of such standard.

                    .    Each Party acknowledges that if Marquette ICG Modules
               bearing both Parties' Trademarks fail to satisfy the quality
               standards set forth above, the substantial good will which each
               Party has built and now possess in its own products and
               Trademarks shall be impaired.

                    (e)  Protection and Infringement. Each Party agrees to
                         ---------------------------
     cooperate with and assist the other Party in obtaining, maintaining,
     protecting, enforcing and defending the other Party's proprietary rights in
     and to its Trademarks. In the event that either Party learns of any
     infringement, threatened infringement or passing-off of the other Party's
     Trademarks, or that any third party claims or alleges that the other
     Party's Trademarks infringe the rights of the third party or are otherwise
     liable to cause deception or confusion to the public, the Party obtaining
     such information shall notify the other Party giving the particulars
     thereof, and if such claims or allegations relate to this Agreement, the
     Marquette ICG Module, the CDIC ICG Module Kit or CDIC Products sold
     hereunder, shall provide necessary information and assistance reasonably
     requested by

     if the breaching Party does not cure such breach or default within such

     thereto, either directly or indirectly;

          (ii)  All rights in the CDIC Trademarks granted to Marquette hereunder

     other than a material breach or material default by CDIC, Marquette shall

     in inventory, materials in the process of manufacture or in Marquette's
     possession before such termination, customer and Marquette purchase orders
     placed or in process at the time of termination or ninety (90) days

           ---------
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 New York City. 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 New York. 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.

     24.6  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 State of New York. The Parties agree that the
federal and state courts located in the State of New York shall have exclusive
jurisdiction over any action brought to enforce this arbitration provision, and
each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of said courts.

the foregoing sentence, either Party may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction, wherever situated, for enforcement of any judgment on an arbitral
award.

     24.7  Time Limit. Except as time barred under any applicable statute of
           ----------
limitation 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.

     24.8  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 State of New York or any other court that would otherwise
have jurisdiction, for provisional or interim measures.

     24.9  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

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

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.

PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF USE DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF THE MANUFACTURE,
SALE OR SUPPLYING OF CDIC PRODUCTS.

     25.7  Severability. 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.
