2.1 Assignment of Assigned Patent Rights. Seller hereby irrevocably and without reservation sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby accepts, all of Seller's rights, title and interests throughout the world in, to, and under the Assigned Patent Rights (the "Assignment").

2.2 Assistance In Effectuating Assignment.

Without limitation to the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for and bear all costs and expenses associated with obtaining the release of any Liens that any Third Party may have had in any of the Assigned Patent Rights ("Patent Liens"). Purchaser is hereby authorized, upon delivery of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 7.2(b), to (a) record or have recorded the release of any and all Patent Liens with the USPTO and any other patent offices where such Patent Liens were previously recorded by filing an instrument in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Release of Security Interest") and (b) file or have filed UCC termination statements with respect to any financing statements previously filed in connection with any and all Patent Liens ("UCC Termination Statements").

ARTICLE III

Rights And Licenses Granted To Seller

3.1 Seller's License. Effective upon the consummation of the Assignment, and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby grants to Seller a worldwide, fully paid up, royalty-free, exclusive (except as set forth in Section 3.2) license under the Assigned Patent Rights to make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell, have sold, and import any products or services that fall within the scope of the claims of the Assigned Patent Rights (the "Seller's License"). The Seller's License includes the right of the Seller to grant sublicenses to Third Parties without any need for approval from Purchaser; provided that Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser of the identity of the sublicensee, the scope of each sublicense granted, and a copy of all applicable agreements relating thereto no later than five (5) Business Days following the grant thereof

3.2 Purchaser's Reserved Rights. Purchaser hereby reserves the rights (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and their respective successors) to make, have made, sell, offer to sell, import, export, and use any products or services that fall within the scope of the claims of the Assigned Patent Rights. This reservation of rights does not include the right to grant licenses to Third Parties, other than licenses to (a) a Third Party where the license is incidental to such Third Party providing goods and services to Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective successors and (b) direct and indirect customers and end users of products or services offered by or on behalf of Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective successors. Neither Purchaser nor Purchaser's Affiliates may assign the rights reserved hereunder, except as set forth in Section 10.3.

-5-

3.3 Patent Prosecution, Maintenance, Defense and Enforcement.

(a) Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including the other subclauses of this Section 3.3, Seller shall have the responsibility, using legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, to diligently file, prosecute (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations), maintain, enforce, and defend the Assigned Patent Rights throughout the world on behalf of Purchaser and in Purchaser's name, and Seller shall bear all associated costs and expenses. Seller shall update the listing of the Assigned Patent Rights on Exhibit C to reflect new filings and changes in status, and shall provide the updated listing to Purchaser on a quarterly basis.

(b) Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including the other subclauses of this Section 3.3, Purchaser, at Seller's expense, shall execute such powers of attorney or other instruments and shall take such other actions as Seller may reasonably request as necessary to permit Seller to pursue or resume in Purchaser's name preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense efforts with respect to the Assigned Patent Rights. Seller also shall reimburse Purchaser for all costs, expenses or fees reasonably incurred by Purchaser in connection with its cooperation or performance of other activities contemplated in this Section 3.3, including any filing fees and reasonable attorney's fees for review of any filings, motions, or pleadings.

(c) Seller shall consult with Purchaser as to the strategy and prosecution of patent applications in the Assigned Patent Rights and the maintenance, enforcement, and defense of the issued patents in the Assigned Patent Rights. In the event that Seller elects not to undertake or pay for the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement, or defense of any Assigned Patent Rights, then Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing at least two (2) months prior to any date, deadline, or action the passage of which without action could result in a loss of patent rights. Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take such action and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection with such activities. The Seller's License will not include any Assigned Patent Rights that are filed, prosecuted, or maintained by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.3(c).

(d) If either Party suspects or determines that any Assigned Patent Rights are being infringed by a Third Party's activities, it shall promptly notify (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after it becomes aware) the other Party in writing and provide such other Party with any evidence of such infringement that is reasonably available. Each Party shall also promptly notify (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after it becomes aware) the other Party of any claim by a Third Party challenging the validity, enforceability or ownership of any of the Assigned Patent Rights.

(e) Seller shall consult with and obtain the written approval of Purchaser prior to instituting any lawsuit or other proceeding for the protection or enforcement of the Assigned Patent Rights before any courts or any arbitral or mediation body (each, an "Infringement Action"), which approval Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold. If Seller pursues any Infringement Action as permitted hereunder, Seller shall provide Purchaser with timely copies of all complaints, answers, and other pleadings filed by any party in any such Infringement Action and any orders and notices issued in such Infringement Action and shall consider in good faith any recommendations or comments from Purchaser in connection with such Infringement Action and shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the current status of such Infringement Action.

-6-

(f) Seller shall obtain Purchaser's written approval before entering into any compromise, settlement or stipulation with respect to any Infringement Action or defense of the Assigned Patent Rights that impose any obligations upon Purchaser, including the payment of money, which approval Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall bear all costs and expenses relating to any settlements and judgments with respect to any Infringement Action or defense of the Assigned Patent Rights.

(g) Any applications or submissions filed by Seller in connection with the filing, prosecution and maintenance activities contemplated by this Section 3.3 shall specify Purchaser as the applicant and owner of the Assigned Patent Rights. Seller shall obtain an assignment in favor of Purchaser from any individual named as an inventor in any patent application that Seller files in connection with the activities contemplated by this Section 3.3, and Seller shall have no right to obtain any assignment in favor of itself or any other Person.

(h) For the sake of clarity, Seller's responsibility and control over the filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement, and defense of the Assigned Patent Rights means assumption of handling and decision-making with respect to filing, prosecution, defense, maintenance and enforcement of the patent applications and patents in the Assigned Patent Rights, but not an assignment of ownership of those patent applications or patents from Purchaser to Seller. Notwithstanding the rights and licenses granted to Seller in Section 3.2 and this Section 3.3, as of the Assignment, Purchaser is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title, and interests in, to and under the Assigned Patent Rights.

3.4 Further Assignments. Purchaser shall not assign, sell or otherwise transfer the Assigned Patent Rights to any Person unless the applicable assignee, purchaser or transferee assumes, and agrees for the benefit of Seller to be bound by, the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and this Section 3.4.

3.5 Covenant Not to Xxx. Effective upon the Closing, and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates, nor any subsequent transferee of the Assigned Patent Rights under Section 3.4, shall bring any claim, action, cause of action, suit or proceeding against Seller or its Affiliates, nor any subsequent transferee or acquirer of the System (as defined below), alleging infringement by Seller of any issued patents held by Purchaser or its subsidiaries as of the date of Closing, including U.S. Patent No. 5,931,824, resulting from the manufacture, sale, importation or use of the ClearCount SmartSponge® System, including the SmartWand DTX as a component of the ClearCount SmartSponge® System, substantially in the form of the ClearCount SmartSponge® System exists as of the date of Closing, subject to any modification or improvement that does not (i) affect the ClearCount SmartSponge® System's reliance on a receptacle-based sponge counting solution or (ii) otherwise fundamentally change the method or means by which the ClearCount SmartSponge® System functions (the "System").

-7-

3.6 Non-Competition. Until the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim of an issued patent within the Licensed Seller Patent Rights, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates or any subsequent transferee of the Assigned Patent Rights under Section 3.4, to manufacture, market, distribute or sell a surgical sponge incorporating a radio frequency identification tag that (i) is marketed for use, or manufactured solely for use, with the ClearCount SmartSponge® System or (ii) is substantially identical to the surgical sponge in the ClearCount SmartSponge® System and relies on a receptacle-based sponge counting solution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall not restrict Purchaser or its Affiliates from developing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing or selling any other system for the tracking or identification of items, including surgical sponges, employing radio frequency identification tags, or any items, including surgical sponges, incorporating radio frequency identification tags for use with such system so long as such items are not marketed for use, or manufactured solely for use, with the ClearCount SmartSponge® System.

3.7 No Implied Licenses.

Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties") against any and all Losses incurred or suffered, directly or indirectly, by any Seller Indemnified Party arising from, by reason of or in connection with (a) Purchaser's breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, or (b) any use, sale, transfer, or other disposition by Purchaser of any products or services under the Purchaser's License or the exercise by Purchaser of any other rights or privileges granted to Purchaser under this Agreement, including any Losses arising in connection with personal injury, death, or property damage arising from the use, sale, or transfer of (i) the Surgicount SafetySponge® System, or (ii) any product manufactured, marketed, distributed or sold by Purchaser utilizing the Assigned Patent Rights or the Licensed Seller Patent Rights; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate obligations of Purchaser pursuant to the obligations of this Article 8 exceed the Purchase Price.

8.3 Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) If any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an "Indemnified Party") asserts a claim for indemnification, or receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding by any person not a party to this Agreement (a "Third Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party for which a Party is required to provide indemnification under this Article VIII (an "Indemnifying Party"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that such failure actually and materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such proceeding.

-15-

(b) With respect to Third Party Claims for which indemnification is claimed hereunder, if (i) such claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone, (ii) the Indemnifying Party commits in writing to the Indemnified Party to diligently and vigorously conduct such defense, (iii) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of the claim notice that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party would be reasonably expected to be able to satisfy and discharge the amount of such Losses, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (A) to direct the defense of any claim at its sole cost and expense, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and (B) to settle and compromise any such Third Party Claim with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (x) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or (y) such Third Party Claim seeks any injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will consult regularly with the Indemnifying Party on the progress of the Third Party Claim; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party does assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (subject to the Indemnifying Party's obligations in the second to last sentence of this Section 8.3(b)) to participate in, but not control, the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may not maintain control of the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim if the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend in good faith such Third Party Claim. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or of assistance as contemplated by this Section 8.3; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel due to actual or potential conflicts of interest, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; and provided, further, that in such case the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for the fees of more than one law firm for the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall each render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such Third Party Claim.

(c) If an Indemnified Party shall have a claim to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying the nature, the amount thereof, to the extent known, and the basis for indemnification sought (it being understood that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice with reasonable promptness will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligations hereunder).

8.4 Representations and Warranties Survive. The representations and warranties set forth in Article VI shall survive the closing for a five (5) year period for purposes of this Article VIII.

8.5 Effect of Knowledge on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Purchaser Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VIII shall be affected by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Purchaser or its officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives, whether before or after the date of this Agreement, with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Seller which is the subject of indemnification hereunder.

10.4 Amendments and Waivers. No modification, amendment, release or discharge of any provision of, or consent required by, this Agreement, nor any consent to any departure herefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by all the Parties hereto, and in any event shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any default, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent occurrence of such kind.

10.5 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a joint venture, agency, or partnership between Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, Seller may serve as agent for Purchaser as provided in Section 3.3 with respect to filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense, and enforcement of the Assigned Patent Rights.

10.6 Further Cooperation. Without limitation to Section 2.2, the Parties will execute and deliver any additional documents and take such further actions as may reasonably be required to fully implement this Agreement and the intent of this Agreement.

10.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and mutually acceptable to the Parties hereto.

10.8 Non-Exclusive Equitable Remedy. The Parties recognize that money damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of any obligation hereunder involving intellectual property rights or confidentiality. The Parties therefore agree that in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, under law, in equity, or otherwise, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against any such continued action by the other Party.

10.9 Force Majeure. Performance of any obligation under this Agreement may be suspended by any of the Parties without liability to the extent that an act of God, war, terrorism, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental expropriation, governmental law or regulation or any other occurrence beyond the reasonable control of such Party, or labor trouble, strike, or injunction (if such labor event is not caused by the bad faith or unreasonable conduct of such Party) delays, prevents, restricts, limits or renders commercially infeasible the performance of this Agreement. The affected Party shall invoke this provision by promptly notifying the other Party of the nature and estimated duration of this suspension.

10.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER STATE.
