THIS IS AN ADDENDUM TO THE CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT OF ADNAN OTHMAN OMAR AND FLAG
TELECOM HOLDINGS LIMITED ("FLAG") DATED 1 APRIL, 2002 ("THE CONTRACT")

Dear Adnan:

EXECUTIVE RETENTION PROGRAM ("THE PROGRAM")

The purpose of the Program is to retain executives who are critical to
maintaining the ongoing operations of FLAG Telecom Holdings Limited and its
group companies.

You will become entitled to a gross sum of US$650,000 (the "RETENTION PAYMENT
AMOUNT") on 9 April 2002 (the "PAYMENT DATE"). Any applicable taxes on this
amount will be your responsibility.

Furthermore, you will be entitled to 0.75% of the Enterprise Value (as defined
in the William M. Mercer Report addressed to John Draheim, "Enterprise value is
defined as Working Capital + Market Value of Debt + Market Value of Equity") of
FLAG Telecom Holdings Limited and its group companies over a threshold of US$150
million at the time a restructuring plan is decided upon by the Court in the
context of the current restructuring of FLAG Telecom Holdings Limited.

If you terminate your employment with FLAG or give notice to terminate your
employment with FLAG prior to the decision on a restructuring plan by the Court
then you will repay the Retention Payment Amount to FLAG immediately.

FLAG considers that the current change in control language in Clause 8 ("Change
in Control") of the Contract linked to payment is not triggered by the Court's
decision on a restructuring plan, its implementation, or any part of such
process. In the event that such restructuring is held to be a Change in Control
at some future date, the Retention Payment Amount will be deducted from any
entitlement in the event of a Change in Control.

If you agree to these revised terms please sign and return to me the attached
copy of this agreement.

Vendor shall recruit and hire at least [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED], to

arrangement, including but not limited to compensation (i.e., credit or

Company and Vendor will participate on a Joint Commercialization Committee

levels of sales of the Product; and review of any other activity related to the
use of the Product. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or
elsewhere in this Agreement, Company shall at all times remain solely
responsible for the sale and use of the Product. Further, Company shall have
ultimate responsibility for the marketing and sales of the Product, direction of
the Representatives regarding the Product, manufacturing of the Product,
providing medical affairs services (including physicians and staff) to support
the marketing and sale of the Product, management of the clinical development of
the Product (including phase IV studies) and regulatory affairs.

            (b)  The JCC will develop [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]
Comprehensive Commercialization Plan ("CCP") for the marketing, promotion, sale,
manufacturing and distribution of the Product. The CCP will define the market
opportunity for the Product and formulate a strategy to exploit the existing
market opportunity. The parties will use their best efforts to prepare the CCP
within sixty (60) days of full execution of this Agreement. In order to
implement the CCP, each year the JCC will prepare and approve a marketing plan
("Marketing Plan") for the upcoming year that is based, in part, on the actual
performance of the Product during the previous year. The JCC shall utilize the
Marketing Plan in carrying out its duties regarding the marketing, promotion,

(2) executives from Vendor. The chairperson of the JCC shall be one of the
Company executives. Company maintains the final and definitive authority over
the decisions made by the JCC.

as mutually agreed upon by the parties, either in person or via telephone. The
location of in person meetings shall alternate between Company's offices in San
Diego, California, and Vendor's offices in Dublin, Ohio.

     2.3.   SCOPE OF  ACTIVITIES.  The parties shall perform the following
activities as applicable to each in connection with the Program:

            (a)  Vendor will recruit, interview and hire as its employees, the
Representatives. Vendor will use its best efforts to ensure that Representatives
have experience in the medical/pharmaceutical industry, preferably with a
sonography background and experience in performing cardiac sonography in a
hospital setting; prior experience and training in ultrasound equipment sales
preferred; or such other sales experience deemed mutually acceptable by Company
and Vendor. The Representatives shall have a minimum of a four (4) year degree
from a college or university, professional in manner and appearance, and shall
be hired in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws. Each
Representative shall have a valid driver's license for purposes of performing
his/her obligations under this Agreement. Vendor shall use its best efforts to
ensure that the Representatives have satisfactory references from prior
employers. Vendor shall have the sole authority to reject any applicant for
employment as a Representative. Company may, at its sole cost and expense,
participate with Vendor in the interviewing of Representatives; provided,
however, in the event that Vendor

                                        4
<Page>

rejects an applicant for Representative and thereafter hires such applicant at
the request of Company, Company shall indemnify and hold Vendor harmless from
any Damages (as defined in Section 16.1) arising as a result of such
Representative's breach of this Agreement, or any wrongful or negligent acts or
omissions.

            (b)  Vendor shall have sole and exclusive authority to discipline or
terminate the employment of Representatives. Company may reasonably request that
a Representative be terminated or reassigned if such Representative's activities
or conduct are not adequately achieving the performance goals of the Product, or
if the Representative fails to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and
Company requirements for Detailing the Product. Vendor shall use its best
efforts to comply with such request; provided that such action complies with
applicable laws and is in accordance with Vendor's policies and procedures, as
determined by Vendor's human resources manager. In the event Vendor determines
that its policies and procedures or applicable laws prohibit the termination or
reassignment of any Representative so requested by Company, it shall notify
Company of such determination and submit a corrective action plan for Company
approval.

            (c)  Vendor shall cause each Representative to attend and
successfully complete the Training Program (as defined in Section 6.1) conducted
by Company for each of the Products prior to participating in the Program. Any
such Representative who does not successfully complete all such requirements
shall be removed and replaced by another Representative who shall comply with
such requirements.

            (d)  Company shall provide Vendor without cost with sufficient
quantities of the Product Promotional Materials and Product Labeling for the
performance and supervision of Detailing. Company shall be solely responsible
for the preparation, content, and method of distribution of the Product
Promotional Materials and the Product Labeling. In connection with the Detailing
of the Products, the Representatives shall use only the Product Labeling and the
Product Promotional Materials provided by Company; and under no circumstances
shall Vendor or the Representatives develop, create, or use any other
promotional material or literature for the Detailing of the Products. Company
shall advise Vendor immediately of any inaccuracy or incompleteness of the
Product Promotional Materials or the Product Labeling, and upon such notice,
Vendor and the Representatives shall immediately cease the use of any portion or
all of the Product Promotional Materials or Product Labeling so identified by
Company.

            (e)  Vendor shall instruct the Representatives to limit their verbal
statements and claims regarding the Products, including efficacy and safety, to
those that are consistent with the Product Labeling and the Product Promotional
Materials. The Representatives shall not add, delete, or modify claims of
efficacy or safety in the Detailing of the Products, nor make any changes
(including underlining or otherwise highlighting any language or adding any
notes thereto) in the Product Promotional Materials. Representatives shall
utilize only printed materials provided by Company. Representatives shall not
make any disparaging, untrue, or misleading statements about any of Company or
its Affiliates, employees, competitors, or competing products. Representatives
shall Detail the Products in strict adherence to all applicable laws,
regulations, and professional requirements, including, but not limited to, the
Act, the Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Kickback Statute, and the American Medical
Association Gifts to Physicians from Industry Guidelines.

            (f)  The Representatives shall remain under the direct authority and
control of Vendor, but shall cooperate with the members of Company and shall
receive advice and direction related to Detail activities on the Products from
Company and Vendor mutually through the JCC. Company shall make all decisions
with respect to the overall strategy in connection with the Detailing of the
Products. Any Company personnel interacting with Vendor Representatives shall
not discipline the Representatives or implement terms or conditions of
employment or personnel policies and/or practices with respect to the
Representatives or otherwise control the daily activities of Representatives.
Company shall provide Vendor with copies of all reports, memoranda, audits and
other data it develops pertaining to the Representatives, Detailing, and the
Program within fifteen (15) days of the preparation of such documents. Provided,
however, that any such documents claiming negligent or wrongful acts or
omissions of Representatives shall, as provided in Section 2.5, be sent to
Vendor as promptly as practicable.

            (g)  Vendor shall supply Representatives with a vehicle allowance
(to be mutually agreed to by Company) for their use in performing and
supervising the Detailing, and Company shall reimburse Vendor for such vehicle
allowance. Company shall reimburse Vendor for all Territory Operating Expenses
(as defined in Schedule 3.1). All Territory Operating Expenses shall be subject
to a [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] administrative fee as further set forth
on Schedule 3.1.

            (h)  Company shall provide Vendor with a list of Target Customers in

reimburse Vendor for the costs associated with such purchase(s).

of which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Schedule
2.3(i).

     2.4.   ORDERS FOR PRODUCTS. Company shall be solely responsible for
establishing the terms and conditions of the sale of the Products, including
without limitation, the price at which the Products will be sold, whether sales
of the Products will be subject to any discounts, the method of distribution of
the Products, and whether any credit will be granted or refused in connection
with the sale or return of any Product. Company shall be exclusively responsible
for accepting and filling all purchase orders for the Products, billing and
returns for the Products, and all other activities in connection with the sale
and delivery of the Products, other than Detailing. If Vendor or the
Representatives receive an order for the Products, they shall immediately
transmit such order to Company for further handling and communications with the
submitter of the order, including acceptance or rejection, which shall be in
Company's sole discretion.

     2.5.   REPRESENTATIVES' ACTIVITY. Subject to Company's obligations and
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, those contained in Sections 2.3(a) and 4.2, any negligent or
wrongful act or omission on the part of the Representatives (both individually
and as a group) that occur during the term of this Agreement

                                        6
<Page>

and that arise during the course and within the scope of their employment with
Vendor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be negligent or wrongful
acts or omissions of Vendor. Provided, however, that any acts or omissions of
the Representatives pursuant to the direction, control or supervision of Company
or its employees or agents shall not be deemed to be negligent or wrongful acts
or omissions of Vendor. Each party shall notify the other in writing as promptly
as practicable of any such material alleged negligent or wrongful acts or
omissions on the part of the Representatives of which it becomes aware along
with a plan to remedy such acts or omissions, and Company shall provide Vendor
with a reasonable opportunity to remedy such acts or omissions, and if
indicated, to replace the involved Representatives.

     2.6.   VACANCIES/TURNOVER. In the event of a Representative vacancy due to
resignation, reassignment or termination of a Representative, Vendor shall use
its best efforts to fill any such vacancy within a [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED] period. Company shall be responsible for paying the Service Fee (as
defined in Section 3.1 below) during such vacancy, unless such vacancy exceeds
the [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] period, in which event, the associated
Representative Fee for such vacancy shall be suspended after the [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED] period and shall resume once the vacancy is filled by
Vendor. All recruiting and other related expenses for filling a vacancy shall be
borne by Vendor; provided, however, that Company shall be responsible for all
recruiting and other related expenses for filling any vacancy occurring pursuant
to Company's request for reassignment or termination other than a request
pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.5 or resulting from the
Representative's failure to comply with any one or more of the provisions of
Section 2.3. In addition, if Company desires to interview any candidates,
Company shall bear its own cost of attending any final interview conducted by
Vendor or the costs of any separate interview arranged for by Company.

desires to obtain additional marketing and sales services and/or expand the
number of Representatives. If the parties have not reached an agreement with
respect to the marketing and sales services or expansion of the number of
Representatives within [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] from the date of
Company's notice, and entered into a definitive amendment to this Agreement
within [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] thereafter, or if Vendor notifies
Company in writing at any point during such negotiation period that it is not
interested or unable to provide such services, then Company shall have no
further obligation with respect to such additional marketing and sales services
and/or additional Representatives under this Section 2.9.

during the term of this Agreement, Company desires to outsource the manufacture
of the Product to a third party, Company shall grant Vendor an exclusive right
of negotiation to manufacture the Product for a period of [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED] after Company's notice to Vendor that it desires to
outsource the manufacture of the Product. If the parties have not reached an
agreement with respect to manufacturing of the Product within [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED] from the date of Company's notice, and entered into a
definitive amendment to this Agreement within [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]
thereafter, or if Vendor notifies Company in writing at any point during such

            (a)  At any time after Company has paid in full all Deferred Fees,
but prior to [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] prior to expiration of the
Initial Term (or any extension thereof) as further set forth below, Company has
the option to hire all, but not a portion thereof, Representatives as its own
employees upon payment of a fee to Vendor equal to [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

terminate. Upon such termination, Vendor shall receive, in addition to the
Buyout Fee set forth above, the residual payments pursuant to Section 14.13.

            (b)  Notwithstanding Section 3.3(a) above, during the
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] period immediately prior to the end of the
later of the Initial Term (if no extension thereof is mutually agreed upon)
or the end of the Initial Term is extended pursuant to Section 14.1, as
applicable, Company shall have the right to identify those Representatives
and Managers Company desires to hire (collectively, the "Targeted Employees")
and to negotiate with any Targeted Employee concerning the terms on which
Company might hire that Targeted Employee. At the end of the later of the
Initial Term or the extended Initial Term, as applicable, Company shall have
a period of [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] (the "Employee Selection
Period") to hire some or all of the Targeted Employees. Vendor agrees not to
interfere with the Company's solicitation and hiring of the Targeted
Employees prior to or during the Employee Selection Period, and Vendor will
assist Company in the transition of Targeted Employees from Vendor to
Company. For a period of [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] after the

or retain as an employee or as agent or independent contractor any
Representatives and Managers that are not Targeted Employees or are not
actually hired by Company during the Employee Selection Period, and (b)
Vendor agrees not to solicit for hire as an employee, agent or independent
contractor any Targeted Employee hired by Company during the Employee
Selection Period.

            (c)  Other than as specifically set forth above, Vendor shall at no
time during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED] after the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
directly or indirectly, solicit or hire for employment any employee of Vendor.

     3.4.   REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. Unless otherwise set forth in this
Agreement, all expenses of Vendor for which Company is obligated to reimburse
Vendor under this Agreement shall be paid by Company within thirty (30) days
after Vendor has submitted a statement itemizing such expenses. Vendor shall use
its best efforts to submit such expense statements to Company monthly.

     3.5.   PAST DUE AMOUNTS. Failure of the Company to timely make any payment
to Vendor under this Agreement will constitute a material breach of this
Agreement by Company. All amounts owing by Company to Vendor pursuant to this
Agreement that are not timely paid by Company will bear interest at the rate of
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] from the due date.

     3.6.   ROYALTIES. During the term of this Agreement, Company shall pay to
Vendor a royalty ("Royalty") based upon the percentage of Gross Sales of the
Product in excess of the agreed upon threshold of Gross Sales of the Product set
forth below ("Gross Sales Threshold") during each [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED] period of this Agreement beginning on the Product Launch Date as

warranty, expressed or implied, that the services it furnishes will avert or
prevent occurrences or the consequences therefrom which may result in loss or
damage to Company. [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED].

Agreement to the contrary, and except with regard to claims by third parties,

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     17.1.  NO WAIVER: CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure or delay on the part of
either party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. No waiver of any provision hereof
shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party giving such waiver.
The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.

prohibited or enforceable nor the remaining provisions hereof, nor render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. In the event any
provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to substitute a
valid, legal and enforceable provision which, insofar as practical, implements

need not be settled), compliance with any order, regulation, or request of
government, or by any other event or circumstance of like or different character
to the foregoing beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or
negligence of such party (a "Force Majeure Event") provided such party uses
reasonable efforts to remove such Force Majeure Event and gives the other party
prompt notice of the existence of such Force Majeure Event. Provided, further,
that no Force Majeure Event shall serve to delay or excuse any payment by one
party to the other then due and owing.

     17.12. SETOFF. The parties agree that with respect to this Agreement, no
party shall delay or refuse to make any payment then due and owing or to take
any action which itself is not in dispute on the grounds that such party is

parties which is in dispute or is otherwise unresolved.

                              COMPANY'S DRUG POLICY

I.       PURPOSE

         To prohibit the use, sale, dispensing, possession or manufacture of
         illegal drugs or narcotics on Company premises or the use or possession
         of substances which may impair the employee's ability to perform
         his/her job safely or properly.

II.      POLICY

         A.       The Company expressly prohibits the use, sale, dispensing,
                  possession or manufacture of illegal drugs and narcotics o
                  nits premises.

         B.       The employee will be subject to disciplinary action up to and
                  including immediate Involuntary Termination for bringing
                  non-prescribed drugs or narcotics to the workplace; being
                  under the influence of drugs or alcohol while working; using
                  illegal drugs or alcohol while working; or dispensing,
                  distributing or illegally manufacturing or selling such
                  substances on Company premises or work sites in the Company
                  workplace.

         C.       As a condition of employment, the employee is required to sign
                  a consent form allowing the Company the right to test the
                  employee for suspected substance abuse. All testing procedures
                  shall confirm to local, state and federal regulations.

         D.       The Company reserves the right to inform appropriate law
                  enforcement agencies of any activity prohibited by this
                  policy, including the name of the person known or suspected to
                  be involved.

         E.       Nothing in this statement of policy is to be interpreted as
                  constituting a waiver of Management's responsibility to
                  maintain discipline or the right to take disciplinary measures
                  in the case of poor performance or misconduct.

         F.       Upon approval of the President, the Company may allow the use
                  of alcohol at Company-sponsored events.

III.     PROCEDURE

         A.       Any employee who notices any other employee demonstrating
                  unusual behavior patterns which appear to be drug, narcotic or
                  alcohol related should report the observed behavior to a
                  supervisor or Human Resources. In such instances, it is
                  advisable to have such behavior witnessed by another
                  supervisor (if possible).

         B.       The employee determined by the supervisor to be under the
                  influence of drugs, narcotics or alcohol shall be required to
                  leave the premises and will not be paid

<Page>

                  for the time not at work. If appropriate, the employee should
                  be encouraged to obtain safe transportation.

         C.       The employee experiencing problems relating from drug,
                  narcotic or alcohol abuse or dependency shall be encouraged to
                  seek outside counseling. Such substance abuse-related
                  counseling in and of itself shall have no influence on work
                  performance evaluations.

         D.       The employee who is diagnosed as a drug abuser or alcoholic
                  may be granted an LOA to undertake rehabilitation. The
                  employee will not be permitted to return to work until
                  certification is presented to the Company that the employee is
                  capable of performing his/her job. Failure to cooperate with
                  an agreed-upon plan may result in discipline up to and
                  including Involuntary Termination. Rehabilitative LOAs will be
                  limited to one per employee during the entire term of
                  employment.
