currently owned by such Stockholder as set forth on Schedule A hereto and any
----------
additional Shares acquired by such Stockholder (whether by purchase, dividend,

purchase. The closing of the purchase of Stockholder Shares pursuant to this
Section 1.2(b) (the "Closing") shall occur at the place, on the date and at the
time designated by the Purchaser in its Exercise Notice, provided that if, at
the date of the Closing herein provided for, the conditions set forth in
Sections 1.4 and 1.5 shall not have been satisfied (or waived), the
-2-
Purchaser may postpone the Closing until a date within five business days after
such conditions are satisfied. Any such postponement shall not relieve the
Stockholders of any liability for failure to meet the conditions specified in
Section 1.5 hereof.
(c) The Purchaser shall not be under any obligation to deliver an
Exercise Notice and may allow the Option to terminate without purchasing any
Stockholder Shares hereunder; provided, however, that once the Purchaser has
delivered to the Stockholders an Exercise Notice, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the satisfaction of the provisions of Section
1.5 hereof, the Purchaser shall be bound to effect the purchase as described in
such Exercise Notice.
Section 1.3 Closing. At the Closing, (a) each Stockholder shall deliver

date thereof as if made on such date.

Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (the "HSR Act") applicable to the exercise of the
Option shall have expired or been terminated.
(iii) There shall be no preliminary or permanent injunction or
other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction
or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission,
nor any statute, rule, regulation or order promulgated or enacted by any
governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining the purchase
of the Stockholder Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option.
(iv) All Stockholder Shares are purchased at the Closing.

stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, consolidations, recapitalizations,
combinations, conversions, exchanges of shares, extraordinary or liquidating
dividends, or other changes in the corporate or capital structure of the Company
which would have the effect of diluting or changing the Purchaser's rights
hereunder, the number and kind of shares or securities subject to the Option and
the Purchase Price per Stockholder Share (but not the total Purchase Price)
shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so that the Purchaser shall
receive upon exercise of the Option the number and class of shares or other
securities or property that the Purchaser would have received in respect of the
Stockholder Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Option if the Option had
been exercised immediately prior to such event. Each Stockholder shall take such
steps in connection with such consolidation, merger, liquidation or other such

0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
Attention: Mr. R. Xxx Xxxxxxxx
President and CEO
Gentlemen:
This letter agreement (the "Agreement") will confirm the arrangement under
which Junewicz & Co., Inc. ("Junewicz") has been engaged by Image Technologies
Corporation (the "Company") to act as its exclusive financial advisor in
connection with the transactions being contemplated with Nitinol Medical
Technologies, Inc. ("Nitinol").
As the Company's financial advisor, Junewicz has introduced the Company and
other investors to Nitinol and has assisted the Company in structuring and
negotiating the transactions being contemplated with Nitinol.
The Company and Junewicz further agree as follows:
1. Transactions Contemplated with Nitinol
--------------------------------------
The transactions being contemplated between the Company, R. Xxx Xxxxxxxx
("Xxxxxxxx"), Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx ("Xxxxxxx") and Nitinol, Xxxxxx Capital
Management and Xxxx X. Xxxxxx (collectively "Xxxxxx") are as follows:
At the first closing, the following transactions will occur:
a) Nitinol will purchase $2.3 million of Series A Preferred Stock
("Preferred Stock") from the Company ("Transaction 1a");
b) Xxxxxx will purchase $300,000 of Common Stock ("Common Stock") from the
Company ("Transaction 1b"); and
c) The Company will purchase $300,000 of Common Stock from Xxxxxxxx and
Xxxxxxx ("Transaction 1c").
Subsequent to the first closing, the following transactions may occur:
d) Nitinol will provide a credit line to the Company of up to $2.0 million
of senior debt (the "Revolving Credit Loan"). Nitinol will have the
right to convert all or any portion of the amount drawn down under the
Revolving Credit Line into additional shares of Preferred Stock of the
Company. Nitinol may also, at any time during the Option Period
(defined as the period during Nitinol may exercise its option to
purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company pursuant
to the Stockholders Option Agreement (the "Purchase Option")), convert
all or any
-25-

Page 2
portion of any undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Loan into
additional shares of Preferred Stock of the Company ("Transaction 1d").
e) Nitinol will have the option to purchase all remaining shares of the
Company for an additional $24.5 million at any time during the Option
Period ("Transaction 1e").
2. Fees and Expenses
-----------------
In consideration for its services hereunder, Junewicz shall receive 7,500
shares of the Company's Common Stock as a retainer payment. Such shares shall
be issued on or before the closing of Transactions 1a, 1b and 1c. In addition,
Junewicz shall be entitled to receive the following indicated compensation from
the indicated obligors at the closing of the respective transactions:
a) The Company shall pay to Junewicz a cash fee equal to 5% of the gross
proceeds of any sale of Preferred Stock by the Company to Nitinol. In
addition, the Company shall issue to Junewicz an amount of warrants
equal to 5% of the number of shares of Preferred Stock sold by the
Company to Nitinol, less the number of shares of Common Stock redeemed
by the Company from Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx in Transaction 1c.
(Transactions 1a and 1d)
b) The Company shall pay to Junewicz a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross
proceeds of any sale of Common Stock by the Company to Xxxxxx or other
investors originated by Junewicz. In addition, the Company shall issue
to Junewicz an amount of warrants equal to 6% of the number of shares
of Common Stock sold by the Company to Xxxxxx or other investors
originated by Junewicz. (Transaction 1b)
c) If Nitinol purchases the remaining shares of the Company, the Company
agrees to pay Junewicz an additional cash transaction fee equal to 2.0%
of the Aggregate Consideration paid to the Company's shareholders up to
$25 million, and 1.5% of the Aggregate Consideration on the portion
greater than $25 million. (Transaction 1e)
The warrants (to purchase Common Stock) issued to Junewicz under Transactions
1a, 1b and 1d shall have an exercise price equal to the price paid for the
Preferred Stock or Common Stock by Nitinol, Xxxxxx or other investors originated
by Junewicz and shall be exerciseable at any time for a period of five years
from the date of the respective transactions. In the event of (i) an initial
public offering by the Company, or (ii) a reorganization, merger or sale of the
Company, the Company shall permit the "cashless exercise" of any warrants
granted to Junewicz in this Paragraph (i.e., the exercise of the warrants
without payment of the exercise price in cash with the result that Junewicz
receives upon exercise cash representing the difference between the exercise
price of the warrants and the initial public offering or sale price of the
Common Stock without requiring Junewicz to pay the exercise price in cash).
For purposes of this agreement, the term "Aggregate Consideration" shall mean
the total fair market value (on the date of payment) of all consideration
(including cash, securities, property, all remaining debt on the Company's
financial statements and other indebtedness and obligations assumed by Nitinol
and any other form of consideration) paid or payable, or otherwise distributed,
directly or indirectly, to the Company or its security holders in connection
with Transaction 1e. In addition to the foregoing compensation, the Company
shall reimburse Junewicz promptly
-26-

upon request, for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, which may include fees
and disbursements of its legal counsel.
3. Indemnification
---------------
The Company jointly and severally agree to indemnify Junewicz in accordance
with the indemnification provisions (the "Indemnification Provisions") as set
forth in Annex A to this Agreement, which is incorporated by reference into this
Agreement.
4. Prior Representation of Nitinol by Junewicz
-------------------------------------------
The Company has been advised that Junewicz has performed investment banking
services for Nitinol within the past two years and has a continuing personal and
business relationship with Nitinol, its executive officers and with X.X. Xxxxxxx
& Co., a major shareholder of Nitinol. In addition, the Company was advised
after the engagement of Junewicz but before the execution of any definitive
agreements relating to the transactions discussed herein that Junewicz holds
99,660 warrants in Nitinol. The Company hereby expressly consents to Junewicz,
representation of the Company notwithstanding the information set forth in this
Paragraph. In particular, the information that is set forth in this Paragraph
shall not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct by Junewicz within
the meaning set forth in Annex A.
5. Governing Law and Other Matters
-------------------------------
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws
of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles
thereof.
Neither this Agreement nor any written advice (written or oral) rendered by
Junewicz in connection with this Agreement may be disclosed to any third party
or circulated or referred to publicly without the prior written consent of
Junewicz.
Please confirm that the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding by

Very truly yours,

Annex A
In the event that Junewicz becomes involved in any capacity in any action,
proceeding or investigation brought by or against any person including
stockholders of the Company, in connection with any matter referred to in this
Agreement, the Company periodically will reimburse Junewicz for its legal and
other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation)
incurred in connection therewith. The Company also will indemnify and hold
harmless against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to any
such person in connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement, except
to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is judicially determined
to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Junewicz in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement. If
for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to Junewicz or
insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by Junewicz as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
of the Company and the other stockholders on one hand and Junewicz on the other
hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement, as well as the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and Junewicz on the other hand with respect
to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable
considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the
Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have, including, without limitation, any liability which
the Company may have to Junewicz pursuant to the Agreement and shall extend upon
the same terms and conditions to the controlling person of Junewicz, and shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs, and
personal representatives of the Company, Junewicz, any such affiliate and any
such person. The Company also agrees that neither Junewicz nor its control
person shall have any liability to the Company or the stockholders of the
Company for or in connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement
except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
incurred by the Company are judicially determined to have resulted primarily
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Junewicz in performing the
services that are subject to this Agreement. The foregoing provisions shall
survive any termination or completion of the engagement provided by this
Agreement and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws
principles thereof. The Company agrees that they will not settle or compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought
hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of Junewicz and the controlling person of Junewicz from
all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
