                      -----------------------------------

December 12, 2000

Mr. Gianfranco Bellezza
MDH s.r.l. Forniture Ospedaliere
Via Mario Donati, 16
20146 Milan
Italy

Dear Gianfranco:

     This letter is the agreement ("Agreement") between MDH s.r.l. Forniture
Ospedaliere ("you") and RITA Medical Systems, Inc. ("RITA ") under which you are
appointed as a distributor in the territory described on Exhibit A to this
Agreement (the "Territory") of the RITA-branded products listed on Exhibit B to
this Agreement (the "Products"). This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings,
including, without limitation, that certain International Distributor Agreement
between RITA and you made as of December 21, 1998 and amended September 27,
1999. The terms and conditions under which you will act as RITA 's distributor
are as follows:

1.   PRODUCTS AND TERRITORY
     ----------------------

     You shall act as RITA's distributor in the Territory (described in
     Exhibit A) to promote, sell and distribute the Products (described in
     Exhibit B) in the approved "Field of Use" and to provide service with
     respect to the Products to the Medical Community. The approved Field
     of Use is liver cancer. RITA's action or failure to act with respect
     to this Field of Use restriction shall not in any way serve to waive
     or limit its current or future rights with regard to this provision.
     As used in this Agreement, "Medical Community" means medical doctors,
     institutions such as hospitals and clinics, and similar institutions
     that are active in the personal care of patients. You are not
     authorized to sell any Products to any of your competitors or to any
     of RITA's competitors without RITA's prior written consent. You shall
     not actively solicit orders from customers domiciled outside the
     Territory, or sell or deliver any Product to any customer that is not
     in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time,
     you may be asked to sell or deliver Products (or you may have sold or
     delivered Products) to customers in nations outside the Territory but
     within the European Economic Area (EEA). You may only sell or deliver
     Products to such customers with RITA's prior written consent for each
     order or shipment, which will specify

+  Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment,
   and such material has been filed separately with the SEC.

<PAGE>

     the terms on which such a sale or delivery are acceptable to RITA. In no
     event does any such sale or delivery or RITA's consent to such a sale or
     delivery confer on you any rights to sell or deliver Products or provide
     services to such a customer in the future, no does any such sale or
     delivery entitle you to request any future compensation regarding that
     customer. Further, in case RITA does not consent to the sale or delivery of
     Products to a customer outside the Territory, as described above, you shall
     not have any rights to any indemnification or compensation for your
     activities related to that customer. Furthermore, you shall not appoint any
     distributor or any agent or maintain any sales, service or stock facility
     outside the Territory with respect to the Products. A breach of the
     obligations of this Section 1 shall be considered a failure to fulfill a
     material obligation under this Agreement.

2.   SALES PROMOTION AND REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES
     ----------------------------------------------

     You shall be obligated to actively promote RITA's products according to
     Section 1 above, at your sole expense. This includes, but is not limited
     to, the activities described below in this Section. You shall attend and
     exhibit at all major trade shows in your Territory related to the Products.
     You shall provide training and clinical education to all of the customers
     in your Territory. You shall provide appropriate promotional materials in
     the language of your Territory, and RITA shall have the right to review and
     approve promotional materials in advance. You shall be obligated to provide
     a sales report to RITA on a monthly basis, by the 15th of the month
     following the reporting period, which details your sales to customers,
     including the customer name, quantity and selling price as well as the
     current inventory status of all Products which are in your possession at
     the end of the month on copies of the form attached as Exhibit F to this
     Agreement (or such form as RITA may provide from time to time). You shall
     provide to RITA, on request, copies of any tenders for the Products in your
     Territory. Prior to the commencement of each succeeding one year period
     under this contract ("Succeeding Year"), you shall provide to RITA a
     business plan that describes your results for the prior year and your plans
     for the coming year.

     RITA shall be obligated to provide you with such technical support as may
     be deemed necessary by RITA to provide you with a full understanding of the
     Products. RITA shall also provide you with a reasonable number of its then
     existing catalogs, brochures and other promotional materials in the English
     language to facilitate your promotion of the Products.

     Failure to provide monthly sales/inventory reports, annual business plan
     and copies of any tenders for the Products in your Territory shall be
     considered failures to fulfill material obligations of this Agreement.

3.   ORDERS AND MINIMUM PURCHASE QUANTITIES
     --------------------------------------

     All purchase orders shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement and
     RITA 's standard acknowledgement form, provided that if any conflicts shall
     occur, this Agreement shall prevail.
<PAGE>

           For the purpose of securing orderly shipments, you shall submit to
           RITA a rolling four (4) calendar quarter forecast of orders for the
           Products at the beginning of each calendar quarter. The first rolling
           forecast is due within thirty (30) days of the signing of this
           Agreement. The first two (2) quarters of the rolling forecast shall
           be binding. Obligations to purchase or supply product shall be
           binding only while this Agreement remains in effect.

           In the first year of this Agreement, you shall purchase the minimum
           quantity of Products in each of the four (4) quarters set forth on
           Exhibit C. In Succeeding Years, the minimum quantity of Products to
           be purchased shall be as agreed between the parties in writing at
           least thirty (30) days prior to the start of each Succeeding Year.

           If additional products are added by RITA to the Products listed in
           Exhibit B, then the minimum quantity of Products to be purchased
           shall be as agreed between the parties in writing at least sixty (60)
           days in advance of the Product addition.

           Failure to purchase the minimum quantity of products in each calendar
           quarter and/or failure to provide a rolling four (4) calendar quarter
           forecast of orders for the Products at the beginning of each calendar
           quarter shall be considered failures to fulfill material obligations
           of this Agreement.

4.         RETURNS
           -------

           Products may only be returned with the prior written approval of
           RITA. Any such approval shall reference a return material
           authorization number issued by RITA. Repair and transportation costs
           for returned Products not under warranty shall be borne by you.
           Repair and transportation costs for returned Products under warranty
           shall be borne by RITA, provided, if RITA determines that the
           returned Products were not defective, such costs shall be borne by
           you.

5.         PRICES
           ------

           In the first year of this Agreement, you shall pay for Products the
           prices ("Prices") listed on Exhibit D hereto. Beginning with the
           second year of this Agreement, Seller may make unilateral adjustments
           to Product prices with sixty (60) days prior written notice.

           If additional products are added by RITA to the Products listed in
           Exhibit B, then the Prices shall also be as agreed between the
           parties in writing at least sixty (60) days in advance of the Product
           addition.

6.         PAYMENT
           -------

           Full payment of your purchase Price for the Products (including any
           freight, taxes or other applicable costs initially paid by RITA but
           to be borne by you) shall be in United States of
<PAGE>

           America dollars. All exchange, interest, banking, collection, and
           other charges shall be at your expense. Payment terms shall be at
           RITA's sole discretion and advised to you at time of order
           acceptance. Terms will be either documentary collection with draft at
           120 days from date of acceptance, cash in advance, or open account
           net 90 days from invoice date. Determination of payment terms will
           depend upon the status of your payment history and outstanding
           receivables balance. Any invoiced amount not paid when due shall be
           subject to a service charge at the lower of the rate of one and one-
           half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law.
           If you fail to make any payment to RITA when due, RITA may, without
           affecting its rights under this Agreement, cancel or delay any future
           shipments of the Products to you. Further, such a failure to pay
           shall be considered a failure to fulfill a material obligation under
           this Agreement.

7.         COMPLAINTS
           ----------

           If you receive any written, electronic or oral communication that
           alleges deficiencies related to the identity, quality, durability,
           reliability, safety, effectiveness or performance of the Products,
           you shall promptly report them to RITA on copies of the form attached
           as Exhibit E to this Agreement (or on such form as RITA may provide
           from time to time) and you shall provide all necessary assistance in
           connection with any corrective action with respect to the Products.
           Any determination of corrective action shall be made by RITA in its
           sole discretion.

8.         COMPLIANCE WITH TERRITORIAL REGULATIONS
           ---------------------------------------

           You shall comply with and advise RITA of all applicable laws, rules
           and regulations of the Territory governing the use, sale,
           distribution, shipment and import of the Products. With respect to
           those Products that have not yet received approval for commercial
           sale, you shall also comply with the laws, rules and regulations of
           the Territory concerning use, sale, distribution, shipment and import
           of unapproved products, and with any applicable RITA clinical trial
           protocol. In connection with these obligations regarding products
           that are approved or have not yet received approval, you shall obtain
           and keep in effect all required licenses, permits and authorizations
           (collectively, "Registration(s)"), provided however, that the CE
           approval shall be obtained and kept in effect by RITA.

           Except for CE approval, you shall pay all applicable Registration
           fees, duties, taxes and other expenses relating to the sale and use
           of the Products within the Territory. RITA shall provide you with all
           necessary assistance in connection with your obtaining Registrations
           which RITA concurs in writing are necessary for the conduct of your
           business. You will advise RITA, upon RITA's request, of the status of
           all Registrations, and you will notify and provide RITA documentation
           whenever any change of Registration status occurs and whenever any
           Registration is called into question. All such Registrations shall be
           in the name of RITA or, if Registration in RITA's name is prohibited
           by applicable law, in the name of a party designated in writing by
           RITA or in trust for RITA. RITA shall have the sole authority to
           cancel or transfer (or direct the cancellation or transfer of) all
           such
<PAGE>

           Registrations. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, you
           shall transfer all Registrations held by you in connection with your
           distribution of the Products to RITA or its designee.

           To the extent that the law requires RITA, rather than you, to file
           any Registration, RITA shall register the Products as required by
           law. You shall provide all necessary assistance in connection with
           the filing of such Registrations.

           All activities with respect to tenders shall be conducted so as to
           allow, upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, and upon
           RITA's written request, transfer of such tenders to RITA or to such
           party as RITA designates in writing.

           RITA may provide you with information concerning the manufacture of
           the Products to increase your ability to obtain Registrations. You
           agree that such information will be disclosed only to those of your
           employees who are authorized by RITA in writing to receive such
           information.

9.         COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. REGULATIONS
           --------------------------------

           RITA shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable United
           States laws and regulations governing the manufacture and sale of the
           Products. You shall comply, and use your best efforts to assist RITA
           in complying, with all applicable United States laws and regulations
           including the maintenance of all required books, records and reports.
           In particular, you shall track the serial numbers and lot numbers of
           Products delivered to your customers. This obligation shall survive
           the termination of this Agreement for a period no less than the life
           of any distributed Products.

           Audits of such records and the distribution storage area may be
           audited at any time by RITA personnel to assure compliance.

10.        RECALLS
           -------

           You shall cooperate with RITA in effecting any recall of the Products
           which, in RITA's opinion, is necessary. Recalls may only be
           authorized in writing by RITA. This obligation shall survive the
           termination of this Agreement for a period no less than the life of
           any distributed Products.

           this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year following termination
           of the Agreement you, your principals and consultants shall not sell

                     thirty (30) days after its receipt of written notice
                     requesting a remedy thereof. A choice by either party not

                     Agreement shall not relieve either party of any of its
                     material obligations hereunder, and any future or
                     continuing failure to perform the material obligations of
                     this Agreement shall be grounds for termination of this

                     trustee is appointed with respect to any of the assets of
                     such party or a liquidation proceeding is commenced by or
                     against such party and such proceeding has not been
                     terminated within ninety (90) days, or if such party
                     discontinues its business.

           In the case of termination of this Agreement by either party for any
           reason, RITA shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
           purchase from you undamaged, saleable inventory at the original
           invoice price to you.

           ------------------

           The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
           Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California,
           without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. Any
           dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with any provision
           of this Agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration in

<PAGE>

           California in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
           Association by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with said
           rules. The arbitrator shall apply California law, without reference
           to rules of conflicts of law or rules of statutory arbitration, to
           the resolution of any dispute. Judgment on the award rendered by the
           arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may apply to any court of
           competent jurisdiction for preliminary or interim equitable relief,
           or to compel arbitration in accordance with this paragraph, without
           breach of this arbitration provision.

           Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in
           writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered

NOTICE OF EXERCISE OF AWARD
<PAGE>

     2.  Terms and Payment of Awards.  If Participant is an Employee or is
providing Services to the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary on the date of a
Liquidity Event, the Participant shall be fully vested in his or her Account
Interest.  The value of such Account Interest shall be paid to Participant at
the end of the Company's fiscal quarter during which the Liquidity Event occurs.
If the employment or Service of Participant is terminated voluntarily or
involuntarily with or without cause (other than as a result of death or
Disability) prior to the date of a Liquidity Event, Participant's Account
Interest shall be cancelled and forfeited and allocated among the remaining
Participants in the Account on a pro rata basis.  If a Participant's employment

occurs, the Participant's Account interest shall become fully vested and will
not be subject to forfeiture.  Participant shall not have the right to receive
payment of this Award other than in cash following a Liquidity Event.

deemed to have ceased Service on the first day on which Participant has not

suppliers]]

     3.  Liquidity Event.  Liquidity Event shall mean with respect to Shares,
the date on which the Shares are sold for cash or, if proceeds other than cash
are received in connection with a disposition of Shares, the date on which such
proceeds are sold for cash.  The Committee and the Company shall have no
obligation to dispose of Shares at any particular time or at any particular
price, and the Participant acknowledges that he or she shall be at risk with
respect to any increases or decreases in value until a Liquidity Event occurs.
The decision to dispose of Shares shall be within the sole discretion of the
Committee.  Participant acknowledges that he or she has no right to compel the
Company to dispose of Shares or any right to seek compensation for a reduction
in the value of an Award due to a drop in the market price of Shares.
Participant acknowledges that Shares may consist of equity interests in issuers
as to which the chances of success are remote and that an Account Interest may
never have any value and that any potential value may require years to realize.

     4.  Restrictions on Assignment or Transfer.  Neither this Award nor any
right hereunder shall be transferable by Participant otherwise than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution.  In the event of any attempt by
Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of
this Award or of any right hereunder except as provided herein, or in the event
of the levy of any attachment, execution, or similar process upon the rights or
interest hereby conferred, this Award shall thereupon become null and void and
of no effect.  Under such rules and regulations as the Board or the Committee
may establish pursuant to the terms of the Plan, a beneficiary may be designated
with respect to this Award in the event of the death of Participant.  If the
estate of Participant is the beneficiary with respect to this Award, any rights
with respect to this Award may be transferred to the person or entity (including
a trust) entitled thereto under the will of Participant or pursuant to the laws
of descent and distribution.

     5.  Participant's Employment and Noncompetition Obligations.  Participant
agrees that, during the period of his or her employment by the Company or a
Parent or Subsidiary, he or she shall faithfully and to the best of his or her
ability devote his or her time, energy, or skill to the service of the Company
or a Parent or Subsidiary, and to the promotion of its interests, subject to
vacations, military service leave, sick leave, and other bona fide absences in

between

the Subsidiary that employs Participant shall have the right to terminate or
change the terms of employment of Participant at any time and for any reason
whatsoever or for no reason.

     6.  Notices.  All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals, and
other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been delivered (i) on the date indicated on the return receipt as
the date of delivery or refusal if mailed by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested; (ii) upon courier confirmation of
receipt if sent by overnight courier; (iii) when receipt is acknowledged when
sent or delivered by telex or facsimile; and (iv) upon delivery at the addresses
set forth below. A party may change its address for notice upon giving notice of
such change in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.

     7.  Finality of Decision.  All decisions of the Board or the Committee upon
any question arising under the Plan or under this Award shall be final and
binding.

     8.  Participation in Other Plans.  Nothing herein contained shall affect
Participant's right to participate in and receive benefits from and in
accordance with the then current provisions of any pension, insurance, or other
stock option or employment welfare plan or program of the Company.

     9.  Binding Effect of Agreement.  Except as specifically set forth to the
contrary herein, this Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
any successors or assigns of the Company or Participant.

     10.  Agreement Subject to Plan.  This Award is entered into pursuant to,
and is subject to, the provisions of the Plan and it is intended to and shall be
interpreted in a manner that will comply therewith.  In the event of a conflict
between any provision of this Award and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan
shall govern.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given them in the Plan.

     11.  Governing Law.  The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

     12.  Withholding Taxes.  By accepting this Award, Participant, for himself
or herself and his or her transferees by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, agrees that upon payment of amounts due pursuant to this Award, if
requested by the Company, remit to the Company or permit the Company to withhold
from amounts payable hereunder, all or any part of an amount in cash determined
by the Company in its discretion to be sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and
local withholding tax requirements that the Company, or its counsel, determine
may be payable with respect to such exercise.

     13.  Participant as General Unsecured Creditor; ERISA Status.  The Plan
constitutes a mere promise by the Company to pay amounts in the future.  The
Company and Participant intend and agree that the arrangement under the Plan is
unfunded for tax purposes, and that the Plan is not an "employee pension benefit
plan" under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, because it is a bonus program described in

Hall, Kinion Cash Equity Plan- 10
<PAGE>

the Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-2(c). Participants and their
beneficiaries have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company and
have no rights to any specific assets of the Company under the Plan.

     14.  Severability  If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision
of this Agreement or the Plan to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of
this Award shall continue to be effective.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed
on its behalf, and Participant has heretofore set his or her hand, effective the
day and year first above written, which is the date of grant of this Award.
