AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this "AGREEMENT") is made and entered
into as of September 13, 1999, by and among ADAC Laboratories, a California
corporation ("ADAC"); UGMMS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of ADAC ("SUB"); UGM Medical Systems, Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation (the "COMPANY"); and the shareholders of the Company
listed on Schedule I (collectively, the "SHAREHOLDERS") and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx,
Ph.D. (together with the Shareholders, the "SELLERS"). Certain capitalized terms
used in this Agreement are defined in Section 9.10 below.
BACKGROUND
A. ADAC, Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Sub into the
Company in accordance with this Agreement and the laws of the States of Delaware
and Pennsylvania (the "MERGER"). Upon consummation of the Merger, Sub will merge
into the Company and the separate existence of Sub will cease, and the Company
will become a wholly owned subsidiary of ADAC.
B. As of the Closing Date (as defined below), the shareholders of the
Company will own a total of 23,818 shares of the Company's voting common stock,
$1.00 par value per share (the "COMPANY COMMON STOCK"), comprising all of the
outstanding shares of the Company.
AGREEMENT
ADAC, Sub, the Company and the Sellers agree as follows:
1. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
1.1 MERGER OF SUB INTO THE COMPANY. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan of Merger attached as
EXHIBIT A (the "PLAN OF MERGER"), at the Effective Time (as defined in Section
1.3), Sub shall be merged into the Company and the separate existence of Sub
shall cease. The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the
"SURVIVING CORPORATION").
1.2 EFFECT OF THE MERGER. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in
this Agreement, the Plan of Merger, the applicable provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and the applicable provisions of the
Pennsylvania General Corporation Law (the "PGCL"). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all
the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and
Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities,
obligations and duties of the Company and Sub shall become the debts,
liabilities, obligations and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
1.3 CLOSING; EFFECTIVE TIME. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (the "CLOSING") shall take place at the
offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx on the date on which each of the conditions set forth in Articles
5 and 6 has been fulfilled or waived or on such other date as may be jointly
designated by ADAC and the Company (the "CLOSING DATE"). As soon as
practicable after the Closing, a properly executed certificate of merger
conforming to the requirements of the DGCL shall be filed with the Delaware
Secretary of State and the Plan of Merger and articles of merger conforming
to the requirements of the PGCL shall be filed with the Pennsylvania
Secretary of State. The Merger shall become effective at the time the
certificate of merger is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and the
Plan of Merger and articles of merger are filed with the Pennsylvania
Secretary of State (the "EFFECTIVE TIME").
1.4 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS; DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The
Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter amended. The Bylaws of the Company, as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter amended. The officers and directors of Sub shall
be the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation until their
respective successors are elected and qualified.
1.5 CONVERSION OF SECURITIES. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of ADAC, the Company, Sub or any
Sellers, the shares of capital stock of each of Sub and the Company shall be
converted as follows:
(a) CAPITAL STOCK OF SUB. Each share of the common stock, no par value
per share, of Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common
Stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) CANCELLATION OF CERTAIN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY.
Each share of Company Common Stock owned by ADAC, Sub, the Company or any direct
or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ADAC or of the Company immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion
thereof.
(c) CONVERSION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY. Subject to Section
1.6(c), each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled
pursuant to Section 1.5(b)) shall automatically be canceled and extinguished and
converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into the right
to receive at the time and in the amounts described in this Agreement an amount
of cash equal to (x) the Aggregate Consideration (as defined in Section 1.6(a)
below), subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 1.6(c), 1.7 and 8.5, DIVIDED
BY (y) the number of shares (including without limitation shares issuable upon
exercise of outstanding options and warrants) of Company Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be
canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(b)). All such shares of Company Common Stock,
when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be
canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder
-2-
of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease to have any rights
with respect thereto, except the right to receive cash to be paid in
consideration therefor upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance
with Section 1.10 below.
1.6 MERGER CONSIDERATION.
(a) AGGREGATE CONSIDERATION. Except for any Contingent Merger
Consideration, the aggregate consideration to be paid by ADAC pursuant to the
Merger is TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS (U.S.$12,000,000) (the "AGGREGATE
CONSIDERATION"), and shall not exceed such amount. The Aggregate Consideration
has been calculated based upon several factors including the assumption that the
net worth of the Company, calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") consistently applied, and as modified in
accordance with Schedule II, is equal to or greater than TWO MILLION TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S.$2,200,000) (the "NET WORTH MINIMUM") as of the Closing.
(b) ADJUSTMENT TO AGGREGATE CONSIDERATION. If on the Closing Financial
Certificate (as defined in Section 5.5(c)), the Certified Closing Net Worth (as
defined in Section 5.5(c)) is less than the Net Worth Minimum, the Aggregate
Consideration to be delivered to the shareholders of the Company may, at ADAC's
election, be reduced either (i) at the Closing or (ii) after completion of the
Post-Closing Audit (as defined in Section 1.7), by the difference between the
Net Worth Minimum and the Certified Closing Net Worth set forth on the Closing
Financial Certificate.
(c) ESCROW AMOUNT. Upon the Closing, ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS (U.S.$1,800,000) (the "ESCROW AMOUNT") shall be withheld from the
Aggregate Consideration. ADAC shall deposit the Escrow Amount with Mellon Bank,
as escrow agent (the "ESCROW AGENT"), to be held in escrow following the Closing
in accordance with an escrow agreement in the form of EXHIBIT B hereto (the
"ESCROW AGREEMENT") to be entered into at Closing pursuant to Section 6.5. Such
Escrow Amount shall be available to satisfy indemnification claims under Section
8.1(a) of this Agreement and any post-Closing adjustment to the Aggregate
Consideration under Section 1.7 and shall be held and disbursed in accordance
with the Escrow Agreement.
1.7 POST-CLOSING ADJUSTMENT. The Aggregate Consideration shall be subject
to adjustment after the Closing Date as specified in this Section 1.7.
(a) Within ninety (90) days following the Effective Time, ADAC shall,
or shall cause PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP or any successor accountant appointed
by ADAC ("ADAC'S ACCOUNTANT") to, audit the Company's books to determine the
accuracy of the information set forth on the Closing Financial Certificate (the
"POST-CLOSING AUDIT"). The parties acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of
determining the net worth of the Company as of the Closing Date, the value of
the assets of the Company shall, except with the prior written consent of ADAC,
be calculated as provided in the second sentence of Section 5.12. The Sellers
shall cooperate and shall use their
-3-
reasonable efforts to cause the officers and employees of the Company to
cooperate with ADAC or ADAC's Accountant, as applicable, after the Closing
Date in furnishing information, documents, evidence and other assistance to
ADAC or ADAC's Accountant, as applicable, to facilitate the completion of the
Post-Closing Audit within the aforementioned time period. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, within two (2) weeks after the Closing the
Sellers, through the Sellers' Representative, as defined in Section 1.13,
shall provide ADAC or ADAC's Accountant, as applicable, with the information
and/or documents reasonably requested by ADAC or ADAC's Accountant, as the
case may be, in order to facilitate the completion of the Post-Closing Audit
by ADAC or ADAC's Accountant, as the case may be, within the aforementioned
time period. In the event that ADAC or ADAC's Accountant determines that the
actual Company net worth, calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied, and as modified in accordance with Schedule II (the "ACTUAL COMPANY
NET WORTH"), as of the Closing Date was less than the Certified Closing Net
Worth, ADAC shall deliver a written notice (the "FINANCIAL ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE") to the Sellers' Representative setting forth (i) the determination
made by ADAC or ADAC's Accountant, as applicable, of the Actual Company Net
Worth and (ii) the maximum amount that the Aggregate Consideration could have
been reduced pursuant to Section 1.6(b) had the Actual Company Net Worth been
reflected on the Closing Financial Certificate instead of the Certified
Closing Net Worth (the "AGGREGATE CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENT"). The Aggregate
Consideration Adjustment shall take account of the reduction, if any, to the
Aggregate Consideration already taken pursuant to clause (i) of Section
1.6(b).
(b) The Sellers' Representative shall have thirty (30) days from the
receipt of the Financial Adjustment Notice to notify ADAC if the Shareholders
dispute such Financial Adjustment Notice. If ADAC has not received notice of
such a dispute within such 30-day period, ADAC shall be entitled to receive from
the shareholders of the Company (which may, without limitation, at ADAC's sole
discretion, be offset against any Contingent Merger Amount or Contingent Payment
Amount (as defined in Section 9.10) or recovered from the Escrow Amount) the
Aggregate Consideration Adjustment. If, however, the Sellers' Representative has
delivered notice of such a dispute to ADAC within such 30-day period, then ADAC
and the Sellers' Representative shall mutually select in good faith an
independent accounting firm that has not represented any of the parties hereto
within the preceding two (2) years to review the Company's books, the Closing
Financial Certificate, the Financial Adjustment Notice and related information
to determine the amount, if any, of the Aggregate Consideration Adjustment. The
independent accounting firm shall be directed to consider only those books,
records, agreements, contracts, commitments or other documents (or summaries
thereof) that were either (i) delivered or made available to ADAC or ADAC's
Accountant in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii)
reviewed by ADAC or ADAC's Accountant, as applicable, during the course of the
Post-Closing Audit. The independent accounting firm shall make its determination
of the Aggregate Consideration Adjustment, if any, within thirty (30) days of
its selection. The determination by the independent accounting firm of the
Aggregate Consideration Adjustment shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto, and upon such determination, ADAC shall be entitled to receive from the
shareholders of the Company (which may, without limitation, at ADAC's sole
discretion, be offset against any
-4-
Contingent Merger Amount or Contingent Payment Amount or recovered from the
Escrow Amount) the Aggregate Consideration Adjustment. The costs of the
independent accounting firm shall be borne by the party (either ADAC or the
Shareholders as a group) whose determination of the Company's net worth,
calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and as modified in
accordance with Schedule II, as of the Closing was further from the
determination of the independent accounting firm, or equally by ADAC and the
Shareholders in the event that the determination by the independent
accounting firm is equidistant between the Certified Closing Net Worth and
the Actual Company Net Worth; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if ADAC's determination
of the Company's net worth, calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied, and as modified in accordance with Schedule II, as of the Closing
was further from the determination of the independent accountant than the
Certified Closing Net Worth or equidistant with the Certified Closing Net
Worth from the determination of the independent accountant (and not closer),
in each case because of any book, record, agreement, contract, commitment or
other document (or summary thereof) that was either not (i) delivered or made
available to ADAC or ADAC's Accountant in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby or (ii) reviewed by ADAC or ADAC's Accountant, as
applicable, during the course of the Post-Closing Audit, then the
Shareholders shall bear the full cost of the independent accounting firm.
1.8 CONTINGENT MERGER CONSIDERATION.
(a) In addition to the amounts described in Section 1.6 hereof, ADAC
shall pay to each shareholder of the Company his or her "pro rata share" of the
Contingent Merger Amount for each Payment Year; PROVIDED that Contingent Merger
Amounts relating to an installment sale shall be paid as such amounts are
actually Recorded (and not as such amounts are deemed recognized pursuant to the
definition of "Net Unit Revenue" below) including, if applicable and subject to
the limitations set forth in the definition of Contingent Merger Amount, after
the Payment Period. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby
agree that no Contingent Merger Amount shall be paid with respect to Net Unit
Revenue Recorded prior to the first day of ADAC's first full fiscal year
following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
total of all Contingent Merger Amounts payable under this Agreement exceed
EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS (U.S.$18,000,000).
(b) For purposes of this section, the "PRO RATA SHARE" of each
shareholder of the Company shall equal (x) the number of shares including
without limitation shares subject to outstanding options and warrants held by
each such shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time DIVIDED BY (y) the
aggregate number of shares including without limitation shares subject to
outstanding options and warrants held by all shareholders of the Company
immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(c) The "CONTINGENT MERGER AMOUNT" for each Payment Year shall equal
the sum of (x) the aggregate C-PET Payments with respect to Net Unit Revenue
Recorded in each such Payment Year for C-PET Unit sales PLUS (y) the aggregate
G-PET Payments with respect to Net Unit Revenue Recorded in each such Payment
Year for G-PET Unit sales; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
-5-
Contingent Merger Amount for the fifth Payment Year shall include C-PET
Payments and G-PET Payments, as applicable, Recorded within ninety (90) days
after the end of the fifth Payment Year with respect to Units shipped to
customers in the fourth quarter of the fifth Payment Year even if Net Unit
Revenue for such Units is not fully or partially Recorded in the fifth
Payment Year.
(d) The "C-PET PAYMENT" for each C-PET Unit and with respect to Net
Unit Revenue for such Unit shall equal (x) the Net Unit Revenue for such Unit
MULTIPLIED BY (y) the percentage of Net Unit Revenue listed in the table below
that corresponds to the level to which the Unit belongs:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL PERCENTAGE OF NET UNIT REVENUE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level One Units 0%
Level Two Units 8.1%
Level Three Units 10.8%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the event that market conditions change significantly and the Market
Price for the C-PET falls below SIX HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
(U.S.$650,000.00), then each of the percentages set forth under Percentage of
Net Unit Revenue for Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxx Units and Level Three Units
shall be multiplied by 0.75.
(e) The "G-PET PAYMENT" for each G-PET Unit and with respect to Net
Unit Revenue for such Unit shall equal (x) the Net Unit Revenue for such Unit
MULTIPLIED BY (y) the percentage of Net Unit Revenue listed in the table below
that corresponds to the level to which the Unit belongs:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL PERCENTAGE OF NET UNIT REVENUE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level One Units 0%
Level Two Units 6.7%
Level Three Units 8.3%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the event that market conditions change significantly and the Market Price
for the G-PET falls below NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S.$900,000.00), then
each of the percentages set forth under Percentage of Net Unit Revenue for Xxxxx
Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxx Units and Level Three Units shall be multiplied by 0.75.
(f) The following table sets forth the "LEVEL ONE UNITS", "LEVEL TWO
UNITS" and "LEVEL THREE UNITS" for each Payment Year. The Units indicated under
each Payment Year refer to the collective number of C-PET Units and G-PET Units
Recorded for each such Payment Year. The Unit numbers refer to the order in
which the Units were Recorded during a Payment Year (E.G., Unit 1 is the first
Unit Recorded during a Payment Year, Unit 2 is the second Unit Recorded during a
Payment Year, ETC.).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNIT LEVEL PAYMENT YEAR 1 PAYMENT YEAR 2 PAYMENT YEAR 3 PAYMENT YEAR 4 PAYMENT YEAR 5 PAYMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level One Units Xxxxx 0-00 Xxxxx 0-00 Xxxxx 0-00 Xxxxx 1-38 Units 1-47
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-6-
Level Two Units Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx 00 and Unit 31 and Unit 37 and Unit 43 and Unit 52 and
thereafter thereafter thereafter thereafter thereafter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
1.8, if (i) more than one Unit is Recorded in one day and (ii) the Units
Recorded on such day include Units from different unit levels (E.G., a Level Two
Unit AND two Level Three Units, such as Unit numbers 26, 27 and 28 in Payment
Year 1), then the applicable payment for each Unit Recorded on such day (the
"MIXED PAYMENT AMOUNT") shall be determined by taking the average of the
possible G-PET Payments or C-PET Payments, as applicable, that could be made for
such Unit for each Unit level to which the Units Recorded on that day relate.
For example, assume in Payment Year 1 that Units 26, 27 and 28 are Recorded
on the same day, and such Units consist of the following Units at the specified
Net Unit Revenue amounts:
Net Unit Revenue
-------------------
C-PET Unit 1 $1,100,000
C-PET Xxxx 0 $ 850,000
G-PET Unit $1,600,000
Applying the above formula, the Mixed Payment Amount for each Unit
equals the average of the possible level two and level three C-PET Payments or
G-PET Payments, as applicable, that could be made for such Unit, as follows:
Unit Level Two Unit Level Three
Scenario Scenario Mixed
Net Unit ---------------------- ----------------------- Payment
Revenue % Amount % Amount Amount
------------- ------- --------- ------- ---------- -----------
C-PET Xxxx 0 $1,100,000 8.1% $ 89,100 10.8% $118,800 $103,950
C-PET Xxxx 0 $ 850,000 8.1% $ 68,850 10.8% $ 91,800 $ 80,325
G-PET Unit $1,600,000 6.7% $107,200 8.3% $132,800 $120,000
(h) As used in this Agreement
(i) "C-PET" means a full-ring positron emission tomography scanner
using sodium iodide crystals initially designed by the Company, including
subsequent versions thereof.
(ii) "C-PET UNIT" means one (1) C-PET.
(iii) "G-PET" means a full-ring positron emission tomography
scanner using a scintillator which is denser and has faster decay time than
sodium iodide crystals initially designed by the Company, including subsequent
versions thereof.
(iv) "G-PET UNIT" means one (1) G-PET.
-7-
(v) "MARKET PRICE" means the average Net Unit Revenue for a C-PET
Unit or a G-PET Unit, as applicable, for worldwide sales in the relevant fiscal
quarter.
(vi) "NET UNIT REVENUE" means, with respect to a Unit and without
duplication, the Total Revenue Recorded upon the sale of such Unit (and the
license of any incorporated technology); PROVIDED that all revenue Recorded with
respect to an installment sale shall be deemed Recorded for the purposes of this
definition at the time revenue is initially Recorded with respect to such
installment sale. If ADAC, the Company or any affiliate thereof reverses any Net
Unit Revenue with respect to which a Contingent Merger Amount was paid
("REVERSED NET UNIT REVENUES"), then ADAC shall have the right to set-off the
amount of the Reversed Net Unit Revenue against other Net Unit Revenues for
purposes of determining unpaid or future Contingent Merger Amounts. ADAC shall
have no obligation to pay a Contingent Merger Amount with respect to the portion
of Net Unit Revenues set-off by Reversed Net Unit Revenues pursuant to the
preceding sentence.
The "Total Revenue" with respect to a Unit is calculated by subtracting the
Excluded Items from the Total Invoice Price, and by making such other
adjustments as provided herein.
"TOTAL INVOICE PRICE" means, with respect to a Unit, the final purchase
price which includes all deliverables to the customer; Total Invoice Price does
not include any sales or use taxes, excise taxes, value added taxes and any
other non-income taxes or duties paid or owed by ADAC, the Company or any
affiliate thereof.
"EXCLUDED ITEMS" means
(1) Peripherals for a C-PET or G-PET not defined by ADAC as "buy-outs",
E.G., workstations, printers, cardiac gates, ETC. (typically items for which
ADAC or an affiliate of ADAC has a part number), the exclusion for which shall
equal ADAC's standard cost of goods at a * gross margin;
(2) Ancillary options, consumables and miscellaneous items with respect
to a C-PET or G-PET defined by ADAC as "buy-outs", E.G., desks, printers,
personal computers, ETC. (typically items for which ADAC or an affiliate of ADAC
does not have a part number), the exclusion for which shall equal the vendor's
cost PLUS a * administration fee;
(3) "Pass through" items, E.G., marketing fees paid to Group Purchasing
Organizations, or GPOs, distributor/dealer charges (commissions), research and
development agreements, building modifications, ETC., the exclusion for which

(4) Any service revenue included in the Total Invoice Price or
otherwise received by ADAC, the Company or any affiliate thereof in connection
with such Unit; such service revenues shall be excluded at the discounted price
as identified in the service contract item on the final quotation; where a
warranty is provided in addition to the standard twelve (12) months, service
revenue for such warranty shall be calculated at the twelve (12) month full
service contract rate multiplied by fifty percent (50%), prorated for the
additional months of warranty provided in the contract with the customer;
(5) Other products sold by ADAC, the Company or any affiliate thereof
or other third party suppliers (E.G., gamma cameras, networking, CT scanners and
all options associated with such products), the exclusion for which shall equal
a calculated average selling price for the unique configuration. The calculated
average selling price shall equal (x) the standard cost of goods for the
configuration for ADAC DIVIDED BY (y) (i) one MINUS (ii) the current quarter
gross margin for the product, for the geographic region, or
ADAC standard cost of goods sold for the configuration

Selling Price
The following items shall not be subtracted from the Total Invoice
Price whether or not expressly included in the Total Invoice Price: software and
hardware optional items which are either essential to the operation of the C-PET
or G-PET scanner or are built into the scanner such as DICOM software or dual
controls, and warranty, installation, shipping, crating, insurance and site
planning costs (E.G., architect costs and radiation calculation costs).
For sales involving currencies other than the U.S. dollar, all prices
shall be calculated using the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the
applicable foreign currency or currencies on the date the applicable revenue is
Recorded. If the Unit is sold through a distributor, the Total Invoice Price
shall be (x) the transfer price charged by ADAC to the distributor PLUS (y) the
commission paid to a Territory Manager for the equivalent equipment as set forth
in the then current commission plan for the United States.
The geographic regions are defined as (i) the United States of America,
(ii) Canada, (iii) South America and Central America, (iv) Europe and Africa,
(v) Asia and Australia (excluding Japan) and (vi) Japan. For example, the
calculated average selling price for a Vertex camera in the United States of
America, assuming (i) a standard cost of goods of U.S.$ * and (ii) a current
quarter average gross margin in the United States of America of * %, would equal
(U.S.$ * /(1 - * )) or U.S.$ * .

For example, if a U.S.$ * sale includes a U.S.$ * personal computer defined by
ADAC as a "buy-out", a U.S.$ * research agreement, an ADAC gamma camera and a
C-PET scanner, the Net Unit Revenue might equal:
Total Invoice Price U.S.$ *
Less the personal computer (U.S.$ * + (U.S.$* * * %)) *
Less the research agreement *
Subtotal, net revenue before
gamma camera exclusion U.S.$ *
Less gamma camera

September.
(ix) "PRODUCTS" means the C-PET and the G-PET.
(x) "RECORDED" means recognized as revenue by ADAC, the Company or
any affiliate thereof in accordance with ADAC's then current revenue recognition

by ADAC, the Company or any affiliate thereof in accordance with ADAC's then
current revenue recognition policy.
(xi) "UNIT" means a C-PET Unit or a G-PET Unit.
(i) Within ninety (90) days after each Payment Year, ADAC or ADAC's
Accountant shall determine the Contingent Merger Amount for such Payment Year
and deliver notice of such amount to the Shareholders (the "MERGER AMOUNT
NOTICE") with supporting documentation. The Shareholders (through the Sellers'
Representative (as defined in Section 1.13) or through a certified public
accountant selected by the Sellers' Representative and approved by ADAC, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right not more than
once every twelve (12) months to inspect, audit and make extracts from all of

omitted portions.
-10-
(j) The Shareholders (through the Sellers' Representative) shall have
forty-five (45) days from the receipt of the Merger Amount Notice to notify ADAC
if they dispute the amount of the Contingent Merger Amount. If ADAC has not
received notice of any such dispute within such 45-day period, the Contingent
Merger Amount contained in the Merger Amount Notice shall be final. If, however,
the Shareholders (through the Sellers' Representative) have delivered notice of
such a dispute to ADAC within such 45-day period, then ADAC and the Sellers'
Representative shall mutually select in good faith an independent accounting
firm that has not represented any of the parties hereto within the preceding two
(2) years and is one of the five largest accounting firms in the United States
(a "NEW ACCOUNTING FIRM") to review the amount of the disputed Contingent Merger
Amount, Net Unit Revenue, the books of ADAC and the Merger Amount Notice (and
related information) for the related Payment Year to determine the amount, if
any, that the Contingent Merger Amount is in error. The New Accounting Firm
shall make its determination of the disputed Contingent Merger Amount (the
"REVISED CONTINGENT MERGER AMOUNT") within thirty (30) days of its selection.
The Revised Contingent Merger Amount shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto, and ADAC shall pay the Revised Contingent Merger Amount within ten (10)
days of its final determination; PROVIDED that if ADAC has already paid the
shareholders of the Company with respect to the Contingent Merger Amount for the
relevant Payment Year and the Revised Contingent Merger Amount is greater than
the Contingent Merger Amount as originally calculated, ADAC shall pay an amount
equal to (x) the Revised Contingent Merger Amount MINUS (y) the amount
previously paid with respect to the Contingent Merger Amount; PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that if ADAC has already paid the shareholders of the Company with respect to
the Contingent Merger Amount for the relevant Payment Year and the Revised
Contingent Merger Amount is less than the Contingent Merger Amount as originally
calculated, the shareholders of the Company shall pay to ADAC an amount equal to
(x) the amount paid by ADAC with respect to the Contingent Merger Amount MINUS
(y) the Revised Contingent Merger Amount. The costs of the New Accounting Firm
shall be borne by ADAC if the Revised Contingent Merger Amount exceeds the
Contingent Merger Amount as set forth on the Merger Amount Notice by more than
5%, and by the Shareholders in all other cases.
(k) The Contingent Merger Amount for each Payment Year, if any, shall
be paid to the shareholders of the Company PRO RATA in cash within ten (10) days
following the determination of the Contingent Merger Amount for each such
Payment Year, which shall be made not later than the date that is ninety (90)
days after the end of each such Payment Year unless the Shareholders dispute the
Contingent Merger Amount in accordance herewith (in which case, any payment
shall be made within ten (10) days after the final determination of the Revised
Contingent Merger Amount); PROVIDED that the Sellers' Representative shall have
provided ADAC with reasonable payment instructions for each shareholder of the
Company and all other information necessary to effect the payment of the
Contingent Merger Amount to the shareholders of the Company in accordance with
the terms hereof; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if the Sellers' Representative fails
to provide any such instructions or information with respect to a shareholder of
the Company, ADAC shall pay the relevant amount of the Contingent Merger Amount
to the Sellers'
-11-
Representative and the Sellers' Representative shall be responsible for
distributing to such shareholder his or her pro rata share of the Contingent
Merger Amount.
(l) All amounts payable under this Section 1.8 shall be subject to the
withholding and offset provisions set forth in Article 8.
1.9 NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY. At the
Effective Time, holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common
Stock shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, and the
stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares
of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No
further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter be
made on such stock transfer books. If, after the Effective Time, a valid
certificate previously representing any of such shares of Company Stock (a
"COMPANY STOCK CERTIFICATE") is presented to ADAC, such Company Stock
Certificate shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in Section 1.10.
1.10 SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) At or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, ADAC will
provide or mail to the holders of Company Stock Certificates (i) a letter of
transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as ADAC may
reasonably require and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
Company Stock Certificates in exchange for cash consideration as provided in
this Agreement. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to ADAC for
exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other
documents as may be reasonably required by ADAC, the holder of such Company
Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the cash
consideration, in immediately available funds, that such holder has the right to
receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 1 (after withholding the
Escrow Amount), and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be
canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.10, each Company
Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to
represent only the right to receive upon such surrender cash consideration as
contemplated by this Article 1.
(b) ADAC shall not be liable to any holder or former holder of shares
of Company Common Stock with respect to any cash amounts issuable pursuant to
this Article 1 which is delivered to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(c) In the event any certificate evidencing shares of Company Common
Stock shall have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, ADAC shall make
payment in exchange for such mutilated certificate or with respect to such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate, in each case upon the making of an affidavit of
that fact by the holder thereof, of such cash as may be required pursuant to
this Article 1; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that ADAC may, in its discretion and as a
condition precedent to payment with respect to such mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate, require the owner of such mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as ADAC may
-12-
reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against
ADAC with respect to the certificate alleged to have been mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed.
1.11 DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, holders of any shares of Company Common Stock that are
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time who did not vote in favor of
the Merger and who complied with the applicable provisions of the PGCL
("DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS") shall be entitled only to such rights as may be
granted to such holder in the PGCL. From and after the Effective Time, a
Dissenting Shareholder shall not have and shall not be entitled to exercise any
of the voting rights or other rights of a shareholder of the Surviving
Corporation. If any Dissenting Shareholder shall fail to perfect or shall waive,
rescind, withdraw or otherwise lose such holder's right of appraisal under the
PGCL, then such shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent
only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing such shares) such consideration as provided by Section 1.5(c). The
Company (i) shall give ADAC prompt written notice of any notice received by the
Company of a shareholder's intent to demand appraisal or dissenters' rights,
pursuant to the PGCL and of any other notice, demand or instrument delivered to
the Company pursuant to the PGCL and of any other communication relating to the
foregoing, and (ii) shall give ADAC's representatives the opportunity to
participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such notice,
demand or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment, settlement or
offer of payment or settlement with respect to any such notice or demand unless
ADAC shall have consented in writing to such payment, settlement or offer.
1.12 FURTHER ACTION. If at any time after the Effective Time any further
action is determined by ADAC to be necessary or desirable to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Company as the Surviving Corporation
with the full right, title and possession of and to all assets, property,
rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Sub,
the officers and directors of the Company shall be fully authorized (in the name
of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.
1.13 SELLERS' REPRESENTATIVE.
(a) Each Seller, by signing this Agreement, designates Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxxxx (or, in the event that Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx is unable or unwilling to
serve, the Sellers shall collectively appoint, by a majority vote, a Seller
reasonably acceptable to the Company) to be the "SELLERS' REPRESENTATIVE" for
purposes of this Agreement. In the event that Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, as Sellers'
Representative, expects to be absent for any period of time (for example, if he
is travelling for an extended period), he shall have the right to appoint a
temporary Sellers' Representative to act in his stead during such time period
and each Seller agrees to such temporary assignment. The term "Sellers'
Representative" includes any such temporary appointee. The Sellers shall be
bound by any and all actions taken by the Sellers' Representative on their
behalf.

communication or writings given or executed by the Sellers' Representative.

deliveries, including any notice, on behalf of the Sellers pursuant hereto.
(c) The Sellers' Representative is hereby appointed and constituted
the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Seller, with full power in his
or her name and on his or her behalf to act according to the terms of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of Section 8
hereof) and the other Transactional Agreements in the absolute discretion of
the Sellers' Representative; and in general to do all things and to perform
all acts including, without limitation, executing and delivering all
agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions and other instruments
contemplated by or deemed advisable in connection with this Agreement and the
other Transactional Agreements. This power of attorney and all authority
hereby conferred is granted subject to the interest of the other Sellers
hereunder and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements made
herein, and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of
any Seller, by operation of law, whether by such Seller's death or otherwise,
or by any other event.

and/or other fees payable under any such lease. The Company is in possession
of all real properties presently owned or leased by it. All leases with
respect to properties currently leased by the Company are in full force and
effect, are valid, legal and binding obligations of the parties thereto and

enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights, and,
with respect to the remedy of specific performance, equitable doctrines
applicable thereto), and there is not, under any of such leases, any existing

described in Part 2.6 of the Disclosure Schedule, complete and correct copies
of which have been provided by the Company to ADAC. None of the buildings,
structures or appurtenances located upon the real properties currently owned
or leased by the Company or the operation and maintenance thereof as now
operated or maintained, contravenes any zoning ordinance or other
administrative regulation (whether or not permitted because of prior
nonconforming use) or violates any restrictive covenant or any provision of
law, the effect of which would materially interfere with or prevent the
continued use of such properties for the purposes for which they are now
being used or would materially adversely affect the value thereof.
(b) The Company owns and has valid title to, or, in the case of
leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in, all of its
tangible properties and assets, real, personal and mixed, used or held for
use in its business, including, without limitation, (i) all assets reflected
on the Balance Sheet; (ii) all of the Company rights under Material Contracts
and (iii) all other assets reflected in the Company's books and records as

parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the UGM Indemnity Maximum may vary from
time to time, (ii) the fact that the UGM Indemnity Maximum at any time is equal
to zero or is less than the Losses of ADAC and/or its affiliates does not in
itself terminate or invalidate a claim for Losses since the UGM Indemnity

of Contingent Merger Amounts or Contingent Payment Amounts) and any such claims
for Losses shall continue until the indemnification obligations with respect
thereto terminate pursuant to Section 8.2(b) and (iii) the indemnification
obligations under this Article 8 for any and all claims for Losses shall only

HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S.$2,200,000); PROVIDED, FURTHER, that after the

foregoing, the ADAC Indemnity Maximum shall not be decreased pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 8.2(d) with respect to claims that are pending
at the time the ADAC Indemnity Maximum would otherwise have been decreased.
8.3 CLAIM PROCEDURE.
(a) Any party to this Agreement who desires to seek indemnification
under this Article 8 (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall give written notice (a
"CLAIM NOTICE") explaining in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss, the
amount of the Loss (the "CLAIM AMOUNT"), if known, and the parties known to
be involved, if applicable, to each party responsible or alleged to be
responsible for indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnitor"); PROVIDED that
each Seller shall be deemed to have received any Claim Notice delivered to
the Sellers' Representative. If ADAC wishes to withhold from any payment of
any Contingent Merger Amount or Contingent Payment Amount the aggregate
amount of any Claim Amounts (the "AGGREGATE POTENTIAL CLAIM AMOUNT"), then
ADAC may, pursuant to Section 9.7, so notify the Sellers' Representative in
the Claim Notice or otherwise and withhold from the Contingent Merger Amount
or Contingent Payment Amount, as applicable, an amount not to exceed the
Aggregate Potential Claim Amount (the "WITHHELD AMOUNT"), subject to the
limitation on Sellers' liability under this Article 8. If ADAC wishes to make
a claim against the Escrow Amount with respect to any matter set forth in
Section 8.1(a) above, then ADAC may deliver to the Escrow Agent a Claim
Notice signed by one or more of its officers.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice
(the "RESPONSE PERIOD"), each Indemnitor shall deliver to the Indemnified Party
a written notice (a "RESPONSE NOTICE") as to the extent to which such Indemnitor
disputes the claim described in the Claim Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event a Claim Notice is delivered or deemed delivered to a Seller, the
Sellers' Representative shall deliver to ADAC and, at ADAC's instruction, to the
Escrow Agent within the Response Period a Response Notice containing:
(i) instructions to the effect that all or part of the Escrow
Amount and/or the Withheld Amount (collectively, the "RETAINED AMOUNT") in an
amount equal to the Claim Amount set forth in such Claim Notice has been or
should be released to ADAC and, if sent to the Escrow Agent at ADAC's
instruction, directing the Escrow Agent to release to ADAC in accordance with
ADAC's instructions all or part of the Escrow Amount in an amount not to exceed
the Claim Amount set forth in such Claim Notice (or, if the Escrow Amount is
less than such released amount, then an amount equal to the Escrow Amount); or
(ii) instructions to the effect that all or part of the Retained
Amount in an amount equal to a specified portion (but not the entire amount) of
the Claim Amount set forth in such Claim Notice has been or should be released
to ADAC and, if sent to the Escrow Agent at ADAC's instruction, directing the
Escrow Agent to release to ADAC all or part of the Escrow
-53-
Amount in accordance with ADAC's instructions in an amount not to exceed such
specified portion of the Claim Amount (or, if the Escrow Amount is less than
such specified portion of the Claim Amount released by the Sellers'
Representative, then an amount equal to the Escrow Amount), together with a
statement that the remaining portion of such Claim Amount is being disputed;
or
(iii) a statement that the entire Claim Amount set forth in such
Claim Notice is being disputed.
If any Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response
Period, such Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the entire Claim Amount
described in the related Claim Notice. If an Indemnitor does not dispute all or
part of a Claim Amount described in a Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a
timely Response Notice in accordance with the terms hereof or otherwise, then
the amount of the Claim Amount not in dispute (the "UNDISPUTED CLAIM AMOUNT")
shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor and, if the
Indemnitor is a Seller, then the Seller shall be deemed to have given
instructions to the Sellers' Representative, ADAC and the Escrow Agent that all
or part of the Retained Amount in an amount equal to the Undisputed Claim Amount
has been or should be released to ADAC. The parties acknowledge and agree that
no portion of the Retained Amount shall be released with respect to a Disputed
Amount (as defined in paragraph (c) below) unless and until such dispute has
been resolved in accordance with paragraph (c) below. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Article 8 and without limitation, ADAC may, in
its sole discretion, exercise its rights under this Article 8 by proceeding
directly against an Indemnitor, exercising its right of set-off against any
Contingent Merger Amount or Contingent Payment Amount or seeking recovery from
the Escrow Amount, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In
addition, the parties agree that any payment received or to be received by a
party with respect to a claim under this Article 8 shall be reduced by any
insurance proceeds previously received by such party with respect to such claim.
(c) If a Response Notice delivered by the Indemnitor in response to a
Claim Notice contains a statement that all or a portion of the Claim Amount set
forth in such Claim Notice is being disputed (such disputed Claim Amount or the
disputed portion thereof being referred to as the "DISPUTED AMOUNT" ), the
parties shall promptly and reasonably attempt in good faith to resolve any
dispute arising out of or relating to the matter to which the Disputed Amount
relates by negotiations between Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, or
if none of those individuals are available, the Chief Executive Officer of ADAC,
on the one hand, and the Sellers' Representative, on the other hand. If the
parties to such negotiation are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty
(30) days after delivery of such Response Notice, the dispute shall be submitted
to arbitration in accordance with Section 9.15.
8.4 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party
under this Article 8 of notice of a claim by a third party (a "THIRD PARTY
CLAIM"), such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against an Indemnitor under this Article 8, notify the Indemnitor in
writing of such Third Party Claim; but the failure so to notify an Indemnitor
will not relieve it from liability under this Article 8 unless and to the extent
it did not otherwise learn of such
-54-
claim and such failure results in the forfeiture by the Indemnitor of
substantial rights and defenses. The Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume
control of the defense of any action, suit or proceeding with respect to such
Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnitor's choice at the Indemnitor's
expense (in which case the Indemnitor shall not thereafter be responsible for
the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by an Indemnified
Party except as set forth below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such counsel shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the
Indemnitor's election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified Party
in an action, suit or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Indemnitor
shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel
if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnitor to represent the
Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest,
(ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action,
suit or proceeding include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor and
the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, (iii) the Indemnitor
shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to
represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the
institution of such action, suit or proceeding or (iv) the Indemnitor shall
authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the expense of
the Indemnitor. An Indemnitor will not, without the prior written consent of
each Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this
Article 8 (whether or not the Indemnified Parties are actual or potential
parties to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes (i) an unconditional release of each
Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit
or proceeding and (ii) does not require the Indemnified Party to pay for any
amounts for which it is not to receive complete indemnification.
8.5 DISPUTED AMOUNT.
(a) If a Response Notice delivered by the Sellers' Representative
in response to a Claim Notice contains a statement that there is a Disputed
Amount, then, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.6, ADAC may
continue to hold (in addition to any other Withheld Amount permitted to be
retained, whether in connection with any other dispute or otherwise) up to an
amount of the Withheld Amount equal to the Disputed Amount; PROVIDED that
such amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Sellers' liability
pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Any release of any Retained Amount to ADAC shall be an adjustment
in and reduction of the consideration due the shareholders of the Company as
set forth in Section 1.5(c) and Section 1.6.
8.6 RELEASE OF THE ESCROW AMOUNT TO SELLERS' REPRESENTATIVE. On the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, ADAC shall direct the Escrow Agent to release
the Escrow Amount then held by the Escrow Agent that is not the subject of a
Pending Claim.
-55-
8.7 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and
warranties made by the Company, the Sellers, ADAC and Sub in or pursuant to
this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed
to have been made on the date of this Agreement (except as otherwise provided
herein) and, if a Closing occurs, as of the Closing Date. The representations
and warranties made by the parties hereto in or pursuant to this Agreement or
in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing and shall
remain in effect until, and will expire upon, the termination of the
indemnification obligations with respect thereto as provided in Section 8.2.
8.8 REMEDIES. The remedies set forth in this Article 8 and in Section
1.6(b), Section 1.6(c) and Section 1.7 shall be the sole remedies of ADAC
under this Agreement from and after the Closing except with respect to (i)
the provisions of Section 9.1(d) (injunctive and similar relief) and (ii) the
fraud of a party hereto. The remedies set forth in this Article 8 shall be
the sole remedies of the Company and the Sellers under this Agreement except
with respect to the fraud of a party hereto.
8.9 RIGHT TO SET OFF. ADAC shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to (i) set off, in whole or in part, against any Contingent
Merger Amount, amounts finally determined to be owed to ADAC by the Sellers
pursuant to Article 8 and (ii) set off, in whole or in part, against the
Contingent Payment Amounts payable to Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx under the Gerd
Employment Agreement, amounts finally determined to be owed to ADAC by Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxxxx pursuant to Article 8.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 NON-COMPETE.
(a) Each of the Sellers, for a period of five (5) years from the
Effective Time, shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or
on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person:
(i) engage, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner, partner,
member or joint venturer or in a managerial capacity, whether as an employee,
independent contractor, consultant or advisor, or as a sales representative, in
any business selling any products or services relating to the field of nuclear
medicine equipment and related software, including without limitation, products
or services relating to positron emission tomography scanners;
(ii) call upon any Person who is, at that time, an employee of the
Surviving Corporation or ADAC for the purpose or with the intent of enticing
such employee away from or out of the employ of Surviving Corporation or ADAC;
or
(iii) call upon any Person who or that is, at that time, or has
been, within one year prior to that time, a customer of the Company or ADAC for
the purpose of soliciting or selling products or services in direct competition
with the Surviving Corporation or ADAC.
-56-
(b) The foregoing covenants shall not be deemed to prohibit the
Sellers from acquiring as an investment not more than one percent (1%) of the
capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a national
securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a registered
securities association.
(c) For purposes of this Section 9.1, references to "ADAC"
shall mean ADAC Laboratories, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates.
(d) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to
ADAC as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenant, and because of the
immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to ADAC for which it would
have no other adequate remedy, the Sellers agree that the foregoing covenants
may be enforced by ADAC in the event of breach by any such Sellers by
injunctions and restraining orders.
(e) The parties agree that the foregoing covenants in this Section
9.1 impose a reasonable restraint on the Sellers.
(f) The covenants in this Section 9.1 are severable and separate,
and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the
provisions of any other covenant. If any provision of this Section 9.1
relating to the time period or geographic area of the restrictive covenants
shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum
time period or geographic area, as applicable, that such court deems
reasonable and enforceable, said time period or geographic area shall be
deemed to be, and thereafter shall become, the maximum time period or largest
geographic area that such court deems reasonable and enforceable and this
Agreement shall automatically be considered to have been amended and revised
to reflect such determination.
(g) All of the covenants in this Section 9.1 shall be construed as
an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the
existence of any claim or cause of action of any of the Sellers against Sub,
Surviving Corporation or ADAC, whether predicated on this Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Sub,
Surviving Corporation or ADAC of such covenants.
(h) The Company and the Sellers hereby agree that the covenants set
forth in this Section 9.1 are a material and substantial part of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, supported by adequate
consideration.
9.2 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended with the approval of the
respective Boards of Directors of the Company and ADAC at any time; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no amendment shall be made without the further approval of the
Sellers if such approval is required under applicable law. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Section 1.8 shall only be amended with the approval of ADAC
and the Seller's Representative. This Agreement may not be amended except by
an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto whose
approval is required pursuant to the preceding two sentences.
-57-
9.3 WAIVER.
(a) No failure on the part of any party to exercise any power,
right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of
any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or
remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege
or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any
other power, right, privilege or remedy.
(b) No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out
of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy
is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on
behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any
effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
(c) The conditions to each party's obligations set forth in Article
5 and Article 6, as applicable, are for the sole benefit of such party and
may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by
applicable law. If a condition to any party's obligations is unsatisfied or
unfulfilled at the time of Closing and such party affirmatively waives such
condition in writing upon written notice thereof (including a reasonably
detailed description of the basis for the failure to satisfy the condition)
and elects to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
then such party shall be deemed to have waived such condition to the extent
so specified in writing for purposes of its obligation to effect the Merger
and otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
shall have no claim against the other party for its failure to have satisfied
such condition unless it is actionable pursuant to Article 8 or Section 9.1
or otherwise under this Agreement. However, even if a claim is otherwise
actionable as described in the preceding sentence, it shall not be actionable
to the extent of such waiver if it relates to a breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant that to the knowledge of the Company and the Sellers was
not a breach as of the date of this Agreement. Any waiver of a condition
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall operate as a waiver of that
condition only, and shall not operate as a waiver of any other condition.
9.4 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will
continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other
persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the
intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or
unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision
that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other
purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
9.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; COUNTERPARTS; APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement and the
other agreements referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among
or between any of the parties with respect to the
-58-
subject matter hereof, including the letter agreement between the parties
dated April 12, 1999, as amended. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument, and shall be governed in all
respects by the laws of the State of California as applied to contracts
entered into and to be performed entirely within California.

its successors and assigns (if any); the Sellers and their respective personal
representatives, executors, administrators, estates, heirs, successors and
assigns (if any); Sub and its successors and assigns (if any); and ADAC and its
successors and assigns (if any). This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
the Company, the Sellers, ADAC, Sub and the respective successors and assigns
(if any) of the foregoing. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of
law or otherwise except as otherwise specifically provided, except that each of
ADAC and Sub may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to its
affiliates.

3. ESCROW AMOUNT. Immediately following the Effective Time, ADAC
shall deposit the Escrow Amount directly with the Escrow Agent, the receipt
of which Escrow Amount shall be acknowledged to ADAC and the Sellers'
Representative, and the same accepted by the Escrow Agent as escrow agent

thereon, less any payments or distributions made hereunder.
4. INVESTMENT.

bank with assets in excess of U.S.$500,000,000 (including deposit in the
Escrow Agent's bank money market deposit accounts), including one or more
accounts maintained in the commercial banking department (if any) of the

reasonably possible, in accounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation; (ii) short-term U.S. Department of Treasury bills, or
any short-term government obligation money market fund that includes similar

Representative and ADAC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent
shall have the power to sell or liquidate the foregoing investments whenever
the Escrow Agent shall be required to release all or any portion of the
Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 6 hereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be
liable for any loss resulting from any investment made pursuant to this
Escrow Agreement other than those losses resulting from its gross negligence
or willful misconduct or bad faith.
(b) The parties acknowledge that payment of any interest earned
on the funds invested in this escrow will be subject to backup withholding
penalties unless either a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W8
or W9 certification is submitted to Escrow Agent at the time of execution of
this Agreement.

from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to

Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Sellers'
Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Former
Shareholders.

Representative, taken in the manner set forth in this Escrow Agreement, shall
constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction, as applicable, of all
Former Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such
Former Shareholder, and the Escrow Agent and any Indemnified Person may rely
upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers' Representative
taken in such manner as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of
each and every such Former Shareholder. The Escrow Agent and the Indemnified
Persons are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts
done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of
the Sellers' Representative taken in such manner.
6. CLAIMS UPON ESCROW FUND.
(a) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a certificate (a "CLAIM
NOTICE") signed by any one of the officers of ADAC set forth on SCHEDULE B
hereto providing notice of a claim for Losses and specifying in reasonable
detail the date such Losses were paid or incurred or otherwise arose, the
nature of the misrepresentation or breach to which such Losses are related,
the dollar amount of such Losses and the delivery instructions to be followed
by Escrow Agent in paying out such claim, including without limitation any
applicable wire transfer instructions of the payee and address to where a
check should be sent, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 6(b) below, deliver pursuant to such instructions out of the Escrow
Fund, as promptly as practicable, an amount as indicated in the Claim Notice,

receipt of the Claim Notice by the Escrow Agent delivered in accordance with
Section 11, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery of the cash from the
Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 6(a) above unless the Escrow Agent shall have
received written authorization from the Sellers' Representative to make such
delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow
Agent shall, without further notice or authorization of any kind, make
delivery of the amount of Losses from the Escrow Fund in accordance with

set forth in the Claim Notice pursuant to a written notice to the Escrow
Agent and to ADAC received by each prior to the expiration of such thirty
(30) day period, with the basis for such dispute set forth in reasonable
detail. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall only disburse the disputed amount

refraining from acting upon any written notice, request, waiver, consent,
receipt or other paper or document from any duly authorized officer or agent
of ADAC or from the Sellers' Representative, not only as to its due execution
and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the
truth of any information therein contained that the Escrow Agent in good
faith believes to be genuine and as to which the Escrow Agent shall have no
actual notice of invalidity, lack of authority or other deficiency. ADAC and
Sellers' Representative shall notify the Escrow Agent in writing of the
Escrow Release Date and the final resolution of all Pending Claims.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of
judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith,

from doing in connection therewith, except for any liability arising from its
own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
(c) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with competent
and responsible counsel of its choice with respect to the interpretation of
the provisions hereof, and any other legal matters relating hereto, and shall

good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel. The reasonable
counsel fees reasonably incurred pursuant thereto may be paid from the
principal of the Escrow Fund; PROVIDED that the Escrow Agent may not pay any
such counsel fees from the principal of the Escrow Fund if and to the extent

Sellers' Representative jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the
Escrow Agent harmless for any and all claims, liabilities, costs, payments
and expenses of Escrow Agent in connection with its performance of its duties
hereunder, including without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel (who

office of the Escrow Agent, or with a safe deposit company, including any
such safe deposit company owned in whole or in part by the Escrow Agent or by
any affiliate of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall keep accurate
accounts of all income and interest earned by the funds in the Escrow Fund.
Within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar quarter, Escrow
Agent shall provide ADAC and the Sellers' Representative a full written
accounting of the principal and interest in the Escrow Fund.

services hereunder (including fees and expenses of its legal counsel) shall

determined in accordance with the fee schedule attached hereto as SCHEDULE D
or as otherwise provided to the Sellers' Representative.
(g) None of the provisions contained in this Escrow Agreement
shall cause the Escrow Agent to advance or risk its own funds in the
performance of its duties herein described other than with respect to actions
in the ordinary course of business.
8. SUCCESSOR ESCROW AGENT. The Escrow Agent, or any successor, may
resign at any time upon giving written notice to ADAC and the Sellers'
Representative thirty (30) days before such resignation shall take effect. In
addition, ADAC and the Sellers' Representative may terminate the Escrow
Agent's appointment as escrow agent upon giving written notice (jointly
signed by ADAC and the Sellers' Representative) to the Escrow Agent thirty

shall resign, be terminated or be unable to serve, then it shall be succeeded
by such bank or trust company jointly named by ADAC and the Sellers'
Representative in such thirty (30) day period, or if no such appointment is
made by that time, then by a bank or trust company appointed by a court of
competent jurisdiction upon petition by any of Escrow Agent, ADAC or the
Sellers' Representative (in which action the other party or parties shall be
afforded a reasonable opportunity to participate) to appoint a successor

Section 6 hereof. To the extent Employee provides any services to the Company
after the expiration of the Employment Period, such services shall be
provided for an unspecified duration and
shall be provided on an "at will" basis, which means that the employment
relationship may be terminated at any time, with or without good cause or any

notice, and the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the terms of
Sections 1 through 6 of this Agreement shall not be applicable thereto.
3. BASE SALARY. As compensation for the services to be
rendered by Employee during the first twelve months of the Employment Period,
the Company shall pay Employee an annual base salary of $135,000, payable
periodically consistent with the Company's normal payroll practices, less
such deductions and amounts to be withheld therefrom as may be required under
applicable law. Thereafter, the Company shall pay Employee a reasonable base
salary commensurate with the time commitment being made by Employee to the

4. BONUS AND OTHER BENEFITS AND TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT. During
the Employment Period, the following benefits and other terms of employment
shall also apply:
(a) BONUSES. Employee shall be entitled to discretionary
bonuses on an annual basis in an amount equal to up to 40% of Employee's base
salary in accordance with the Company's standard company-wide bonus plan for
managers (referred to by the Company's management as the "MIT" or "Most
Important Task" bonus program). Such bonuses shall be subject to normal
withholding for all applicable federal and state taxes required to be withheld.
(b) EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse Employee for
customary and necessary expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in the course
of performing those duties which he has been requested to perform by the

(f) COMPANY CAR. Employee shall have the right to use for
[personal] [company] purposes the company car utilized by Employee while working
for UGM Laboratory, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("UGM LABORATORY"), a 1998
Volvo V-70, and to purchase such car from the Company at its [book] [residual
fair market] value at any time during the Employment Period.
5. CONTINGENT COMPENSATION.
(a) In addition to the amounts described in Sections 3 and 4
hereof, the Company shall pay to Employee the Contingent Payment Amount for each
Payment Year; PROVIDED that a Contingent Payment Amount relating to an
installment sale shall be paid as such amounts are actually Recorded (and not as
such amounts are deemed recognized pursuant to the definition of "Net Unit
Revenue" below) including, if applicable and subject to the limitations set
forth in the definition of Contingent Payment Amount, after the Payment Period.
In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby agree that no
Contingent Payment Amount shall be paid with respect to Net Unit Revenue
Recorded prior to the first day of the Company's first full fiscal year
following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
total of all Contingent Payment Amounts payable under this Agreement exceed an
aggregate of TWO MILLION DOLLARS (U.S. $2,000,000).
(b) The "CONTINGENT PAYMENT AMOUNT" for each Payment Year
shall equal the sum of (x) the aggregate C-PET Payments with respect to Net Unit
Revenue Recorded in each such Payment Year for C-PET Unit sales PLUS (y) the
aggregate G-PET Payments with respect to Net Unit Revenue Recorded in each such
Payment Year for G-PET Unit sales; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Contingent
Payment Amount for the fifth Payment Year shall include C-PET Payments and G-PET
Payments, as applicable, Recorded within ninety (90) days after the end of the
fifth Payment Year with respect to Units shipped to customers in the fourth
quarter of the fifth Payment Year even if Net Unit Revenue for such Units is not
fully or partially Recorded in the fifth Payment Year.
(c) The "C-PET PAYMENT" for each C-PET Unit and with respect
to Net Unit Revenue for such Unit shall equal (x) the Net Unit Revenue for such
Unit MULTIPLIED BY (y) the percentage of Net Unit Revenue listed in the table
below that corresponds to the level to which the Unit belongs:
LEVEL PERCENTAGE OF NET UNIT REVENUE
Level One Units 0%
Level Two Units 5.4%
Level Three Units 8.1%
Level Four Units 0%
In the event that market conditions change significantly and the Market Price
for the C-PET falls below SIX HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S. $650,000.00),
then each of the percentages set
-3-
forth under Percentage of Net Unit Revenue for Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx Units and Level Four Units shall be multiplied by 0.75.
(d) The "G-PET PAYMENT" for each G-PET Unit and with respect
to Net Unit Revenue for such Unit shall equal (x) the Net Unit Revenue for such
Unit MULTIPLIED BY (y) the percentage of Net Unit Revenue listed in the table
below that corresponds to the level to which the Unit belongs:
LEVEL PERCENTAGE OF NET UNIT REVENUE
Level One Units 0%
Level Two Units 5.0%
Level Three Units 6.7%
Level Four Units 0%
In the event that market conditions change significantly and the Market Price
for the G-PET falls below NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S. $900,000.00), then
each of the percentages set forth under Percentage of Net Unit Revenue for Xxxxx
Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx Units and Level Four Units shall be
multiplied by 0.75.
(e) The following table sets forth the "LEVEL ONE UNITS",
"LEVEL TWO UNITS", "LEVEL THREE UNITS" and "LEVEL FOUR UNITS" for each Payment
Year. The Units indicated under each Payment Year refer to the collective number
of C-PET Units and G-PET Units Recorded for each such Payment Year. The Unit
numbers refer to the order in which the Units were Recorded during a Payment
Year (E.G., Unit 1 is the first Unit Recorded during a Payment Year, Unit 2 is
the second Unit Recorded during a Payment Year, ETC.).
------------------------- ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ------------------- -------------------
UNIT LEVEL PAYMENT YEAR 1 PAYMENT YEAR 2 PAYMENT YEAR 3 PAYMENT YEAR 4 PAYMENT YEAR 5
------------------------- ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ------------------- -------------------
Level One Units Xxxxx 0-00 Xxxxx 0-00 Xxxxx 0-00 Xxxxx 1-28 Units 1-35
Level Two Units Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00
Xxxxx Xxxxx Units Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00 Xxxxx 00-00 Units 37-38 Xxxxx 00-00
Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx 00 and Unit 27 and Unit 33 and Unit 39 and Unit 48 and
thereafter thereafter thereafter thereafter thereafter
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 5, if (i) more than one Unit is Recorded in one day, and (ii) the Units
Recorded on such day include Units from different unit levels (E.G., a Level Two
Unit AND two Level Three Units, such as Unit numbers 20, 21 and 22 in Payment
Year 1), then the applicable payment for each Unit Recorded on such day (the
"MIXED PAYMENT AMOUNT") shall be determined by taking the average of the
possible G-PET Payments or C-PET Payments, as applicable, that could be made for
such Unit for each Unit level to which the Units Recorded on that day relate.
For example, assume in Payment Year 1 that Units 20, 21 and 22
are Recorded on the
-4-
same day, and such Units consist of the following Units at the specified Net
Unit Revenue amounts:
Net Unit Revenue
------------------------
C-PET Unit 1 $1,100,000
C-PET Xxxx 0 $ 850,000
G-PET Unit $1,600,000
Applying the above formula, the Mixed Payment Amount for each
Unit equals the average of the possible level two and level three C-PET Payments
or G-PET Payments, as applicable, that could be made for such Unit, as follows:
Unit Xxxxx Xxx Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Mixed
Scenario Scenario Payment
Net Unit ------------------------ --------------------------
Revenue % Amount % Amount Amount
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C-PET Unit 1 $1,100,000 5.4% $59,400 8.1% $89,100 $74,250
C-PET Xxxx 0 $ 850,000 5.4% $45,900 8.1% $68,850 $57,375
G-PET Unit $1,600,000 5.0% $80,000 6.7% $107,200 $93,600
(g) As used in this Agreement
(i) "C-PET" means a full-ring positron emission
tomography scanner using sodium iodide crystals initially designed by the
Seller, including subsequent versions thereof.
(ii) "C-PET UNIT" means one (1) C-PET.
(iii) "G-PET" means a full-ring positron emission
tomography scanner using a scintillator which is denser and has faster decay
time than sodium iodide crystals initially designed by the Seller, including
subsequent versions thereof.
(iv) "G-PET UNIT" means one (1) G-PET.

such Unit (and the license of any incorporated technology); PROVIDED that all
revenue Recorded with respect to an installment sale shall be deemed Recorded
for the purposes of this definition at the time revenue is initially Recorded
with respect to such installment sale. If the Company, the Seller or any
affiliate thereof reverses any Net Unit Revenue with respect to which a
Contingent Payment Amount was paid ("REVERSED NET UNIT REVENUES"), then the
Company shall have the right to set-off the amount of the Reversed Net Unit
Revenue against other Net Unit Revenues for purposes of determining unpaid or
future Contingent Payment Amounts. The Company shall have no obligation to
pay a Contingent Payment Amount with respect to the portion of
-5-
Net Unit Revenues set-off by Reversed Net Unit Revenues pursuant to the
preceding sentence.
The "TOTAL REVENUE" with respect to a Unit is calculated by
subtracting the Excluded Items from the Total Invoice Price, and by making such
other adjustments as provided herein.
"TOTAL INVOICE PRICE" means, with respect to a Unit, the final
purchase price which includes all deliverables to the customer; Total Invoice
Price does not include any sales of use taxes, excise taxes, value added taxes
and any other non-income taxes or duties paid or owed by the Company, the Seller
or any affiliate thereof.
"EXCLUDED ITEMS" means
(1) Peripherals for a C-PET or G-PET not defined by the Company as
"buy-outs", E.G., workstations, printers, cardiac gates, ETC. (typically items
for which the Company or an affiliate of the Company has a part number), the
exclusion for which shall equal the Company's standard cost of goods at a *
gross margin;
(2) Ancillary options, consumables and miscellaneous items with respect
to a C-PET or G-PET defined by the Company as "buy-outs", E.G., desks, printers,
personal computers, ETC. (typically items for which the Company or an affiliate
of the Company does not have a part number), the exclusion for which shall equal
the vendor's cost PLUS a * administration fee;
(3) "Pass through" items, E.G., marketing fees paid to Group Purchasing
Organizations, or GPOs, distributor/dealer charges (commissions), research and

Invoice Price;
(4) Any service revenue included in the Total Invoice Price or
otherwise received by the Company, the Seller or any affiliate thereof in
connection with such Unit; such service revenues shall be excluded at the
discounted price as identified in the service contract item on the final
quotation; where a warranty is provided in addition to the standard twelve (12)
months, service revenue for such warranty shall be calculated at the twelve (12)
month full service contract rate multiplied by fifty percent (50%), prorated for
the additional months of warranty provided in the contract with the customer;
(5) Other products sold by the Company, the Seller or any affiliate
thereof or other third party suppliers (e.g., gamma cameras, networking, CT

standard cost of goods for the configuration for the Company DIVIDED BY (y)
(i) one MINUS (ii) the current quarter gross margin for the product, for the
geographic region, or

Selling Price
The following items shall not be subtracted from the Total Invoice
Price whether or not expressly included in the Total Invoice Price: software and
hardware optional items which are either essential to the operation of the C-PET
or G-PET scanner or are built into the scanner such as DICOM software or dual
controls, and warranty, installation, shipping, crating, insurance and site
planning costs (E.G., architect costs and radiation calculation costs).
For sales involving currencies other than the U.S. dollar, all prices
shall be calculated using the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the
applicable foreign currency or currencies on the date the applicable revenue is
Recorded. If the Unit is sold through a distributor, the Total Invoice Price
shall be (x) the transfer price charged by the Company to the distributor PLUS
(y) the commission paid to a Territory Manager for the equivalent equipment as
set forth in the then current commission plan for the United States.
The geographic regions are defined as (i) the United States of America,
(ii) Canada, (iii) South America and Central America, (iv) Europe and Africa,
(v) Asia and Australia (excluding Japan) and (vi) Japan. For example, the
calculated average selling price for a Vertex camera in the United States of
America, assuming (i) a standard cost of goods of U.S. $ * and (ii) a current
quarter average gross margin in the United States of America of * %, would equal
(U.S. $ * /(1 - * )) or U.S. $ * .
For example, if a U.S. $ * sale includes a U.S. $ * personal computer defined by
the Company as a "buy-out", a U.S. $ * research agreement, a gamma camera of the
Company and a C-PET scanner, the Net Unit Revenue might equal:

(h) Within ninety (90) days after each Payment Year, the
Company or PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP or any successor accountant appointed by
the Company (the "COMPANY'S ACCOUNTANT") shall determine the Contingent Payment
Amount for such Payment Year and deliver notice of such amount to Employee (the
"PAYMENT AMOUNT NOTICE") with supporting documentation. To the extent Employee
has not had access to such information, whether pursuant to the exercise by the
Shareholders (as defined in the Agreement of Merger) of their rights under
Section 1.8(i) of the Agreement of Merger or otherwise, Employee shall have the
right not more than once every twelve (12) months to inspect, audit and make
extracts from all of the records, files and books of account of the Company

Section 5, at a reasonable time during business hours, upon advance notice to
the Company.
(i) Employee shall have forty-five (45) days from the receipt
of the Payment Amount Notice to notify the Company if he disputes the amount of
the Contingent Payment Amount. If the Company has not received notice of any
such dispute within such 45-day period, the Contingent Payment Amount contained
in the Payment Amount Notice shall be final. If, however, Employee has delivered
notice of such a dispute to the Company within such 45-day period, then the
Company and Employee shall mutually select in good faith an independent
accounting firm that has not represented any of the parties hereto within the
preceding two (2) years (except in connection with the exercise of rights under
Section 1.8(j) of the Agreement of Merger) and is one of the five largest
accounting firms in the United States (a "NEW ACCOUNTING FIRM") to review the
amount of the disputed Contingent Payment Amount, Net Unit Revenue, the books of
the Company and the Payment Amount Notice (and related information) for the
related Payment Year to determine the amount, if any, that the Contingent
Payment Amount is in error; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company and Employee
agree to select the same independent accounting firm as selected pursuant to
1.8(j) of the Agreement of Merger, if applicable, absent a reasonable objection
by the Company or Employee. The New Accounting Firm shall make its determination
of the disputed Contingent Payment Amount (the "REVISED CONTINGENT PAYMENT
AMOUNT") within thirty (30) days of its selection. The Revised Contingent
Payment Amount shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and the Company
shall pay the Revised Contingent Payment Amount within (10) days of its final
determination; PROVIDED that if the Company has already paid Employee with
respect to the Contingent Payment Amount for the relevant Payment Year and the
-8-
Revised Contingent Payment Amount is greater than the Contingent Payment Amount
as originally calculated, the Company shall pay an amount equal to (x) the
Revised Contingent Payment Amount MINUS (y) the amount previously paid with
respect to the Contingent Payment Amount; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if the Company
has already paid Employee with respect to the Contingent Payment Amount for the
relevant Payment Year and the Revised Contingent Payment Amount is less than the

Company an amount equal to (x) the amount paid by the Company with respect to
the Contingent Payment Amount MINUS (y) the Revised Contingent Payment Amount.
The costs of the New Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company if the
Revised Contingent Payment Amount exceeds the Contingent Payment Amount as set
forth on the Payment Amount Notice by more than 5%, and by Employee in all other
cases.
(j) The Contingent Payment Amount for each Payment Year, if
any, shall be paid to Employee in cash within ten (10) days following the
determination of the Contingent Payment Amount for each such Payment Year, which
shall be made not later than the date that is ninety (90) days after the end of
each such Payment Year unless Employee disputes the Contingent Payment Amount in
accordance herewith (in which case, any payment shall be made within ten (10)
days after the final determination of the Revised Contingent Payment Amount).
(k) The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to set off, in whole or in part, against the Contingent Payment Amounts payable
to Employee under this Agreement, amounts finally determined to be owed to the
Company by Employee pursuant to Article 8 of the Agreement of Merger.
6. TERMINATION. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(f) below, the
employment of Employee may be terminated as follows:
(a) DEATH. The Employment Period shall terminate upon the
Employee's death.
(b) DISABILITY. Subject to any limitations imposed under
applicable law, the Employment Period shall terminate upon Employee's
disability. Employee shall be regarded as disabled for purposes of this
Agreement if Employee has been unable, for physical or mental reasons, to
perform the duties required hereunder, in a manner consistent with past
practice, for a consecutive period of sixty (60) days or for ninety (90) days
during any twelve-month period during the Employment Period. In the event that
there should be any dispute between Employee and the Company as to whether
Employee is disabled within the meaning of this Agreement, such matter shall be
conclusively determined by the written report of a physician selected by the
Company, who is reasonably satisfactory to Employee. Employee agrees to submit
to examination by any such physician for the purpose of determining whether
Employee is disabled, and the parties agree that any determination with respect
to Employee's disability may be conclusively resolved in the sole judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company if Employee should fail to comply with any
request by the Company to submit to such an examination.

evidence from which it may reasonably conclude that Employee has misappropriated
money or other assets or property (tangible or intangible) of the Company or its

within three (3) days of receipt of written notice thereof from the Company;

(d) AT THE ELECTION OF THE COMPANY FOR REASONS OTHER THAN FOR
CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Employment Period and Employee's employment
hereunder at any time during the term of this Agreement without cause by giving
sixty (60) days' advance written notice to the Employee of an election to
terminate.

that nothing herein shall preclude Employee from receiving standard death or
disability benefits under the Company's standard policy if provided to
Employee.
(iii) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION FOR GOOD
REASON. In the event the Company exercises its right to terminate the
Employee without cause under Section 6(d) or the Employee exercises his right

less than five (5) years from the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement
of Merger), without the prior written consent of the Company, Employee shall
not, either as an individual or as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor,
independent contractor, general partner, officer, director, shareholder or
investor of a third party, solicit or attempt to solicit any person who at
the time of such inducement is an employee of the Company or any of its
affiliates to perform work or services for any other person.
(d) RETURN OF PROPERTY, ETC. Upon termination of Employee's
employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, or upon earlier request
of the Company, Employee agrees to return or deliver to the Company all
property belonging to the Company and its affiliates and all tangible forms
of Confidential Information in Employee's possession or control, including
but not limited to drawings, specifications, documents, records, devices,
models or any other material and copies or reproductions thereof. Employee
will provide to the Company, at its request, written certification that
Employee has returned all property and Confidential Information to the
Company and that Employee will continue to honor Employee's confidentiality
obligations hereunder.
(e) OTHER AGREEMENTS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee
represents and warrants that Employee's performance of all of the terms of
this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence the
proprietary information, knowledge or data of others acquired by Employee in
confidence or in trust prior to the Employment Period, and Employee agrees
not to disclose to the Company or any of its affiliates, or induce the
Company or any of its affiliates to use, any confidential or proprietary
information or material belonging to any previous employer or any other
person (other than the Seller or UGM Laboratory), and represents that
Employee does not have in Employee's possession or control any such
information or material. Employee represents and warrants
-12-
that Employee is not a party to any other agreement that would interfere with
Employee's full compliance with this Agreement.
(f) SURVIVAL. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this
Section 7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and
Employee's employment or engagement by the Company or any of its affiliates
and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company
and shall be binding upon Employee's heirs, assigns, administrators and
representatives.
(g) CONFLICTS. Employee agrees not to enter into any written or
oral agreement that conflicts with the provisions of this Section 7, and
acknowledges that any breach by Employee of this section may constitute
grounds for serious disciplinary action, up to and including termination of
employment with the Company or any of its affiliates.
(h) REMEDIES. Each party acknowledges that in the event of a
breach of this Agreement, the damage to the nonbreaching party would be
irreparable and extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or
in damages inadequate. Thus, in addition to any other right or remedy
available to it, a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief for breach of
any provisions of this Agreement.
(i) REFORMATION OF AGREEMENT. In the event that any of the
covenants contained in this Section 7 may be found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as against public policy or
otherwise, the parties hereto expressly authorize such court to exercise its
discretion in rendering any such covenant to the end that the Employee shall
be subject to the greatest extent permissible to covenants that are
reasonable under the circumstances, enforceable by the Company and consistent
with the Company's legitimate interests, which are hereby acknowledged by the
parties hereto, in protecting the Company's and its affiliates' goodwill
associated with the experience, skills and loyalty of the Employee and in
protecting the value of its investment, through the acquisition of the assets
of Seller and otherwise, in the business and assets of the Seller or any of
its affiliates.
8. RESTRICTION ON COMPETITION.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, during
the Employment Period and thereafter, if Employee continues to be employed by
the Company and/or any other entity owned by or affiliated with the Company
on an "at will" basis, for the duration of such period, and thereafter for a
period of two (2) years, and in all events for a period of not less than five
(5) years from the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement of Merger),
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for Employee or on behalf of or
in conjunction with any other person, company, partnership, corporation,
business, group or other entity (each, a "PERSON"):
(i) engage, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner,
partner, member or joint venturer or in a managerial capacity, whether as an
employee, independent contractor, consultant
-13-
or advisor, or as a sales representative, in any business selling any
products or services relating to the field of nuclear medicine equipment and
related software, including without limitation, products or services relating
to positron emission tomography scanners;
(ii) call upon any Person who is, at that time, an employee
of the Company, UGM Laboratory or the Seller for the purpose or with the
intent of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of the
Company, UGM Laboratory or the Seller; or
(iii) call upon any Person who or that is, at that time, or
has been, within one year prior to that time, a customer of the Company, UGM
Laboratory or the Seller for the purpose of soliciting or selling products or
services in direct competition with the Company, UGM Laboratory or the Seller.
(b) The foregoing covenants shall not be deemed to prohibit
Employee from acquiring as an investment not more than one percent (1%) of
the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a
national securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a
registered securities association.
(c) For purposes of this Section 8, references to "the Company"
shall mean ADAC Laboratories, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates.
(d) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the
Company as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of
the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Company for
which it would have no other adequate remedy, Employee agrees that the
foregoing covenants may be enforced by the Company in the event of breach by
Employee by injunctions and restraining orders.
(e) The parties agree that the foregoing covenants in this
Section 8 impose a reasonable restraint on Employee in light of the
activities and business of the Company on the date of the execution of this
Agreement, assuming the completion of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement of Merger, and the current plans of the Company.
(f) The covenants in this Section 8 are severable and separate,
and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the
provisions of any other covenant. If any provision of this Section 8 relating
to the time period or geographic area of the restrictive covenants shall be
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time
period or geographic area, as applicable, that such court deems reasonable
and enforceable, such time period or geographic area shall be deemed to be,
and thereafter shall become, the maximum time period or largest geographic
area that such court deems reasonable and enforceable and this Agreement
shall automatically be considered to have been amended and revised to reflect
such determination.
-14-
(g) All of the covenants in this Section 8 shall be construed as
an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the
existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company,
whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants; PROVIDED that
upon the failure of the Company to make any payments required under this
Agreement, Employee may, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Company, and to the extent the Company continues to fail to make such
required payments, waive Employee's right to receive any additional
compensation pursuant to this Agreement and engage in any activity prohibited
by the covenants of this Section 8. It is specifically agreed that the two
(2) year and five (5) year periods stated at the beginning of this Section 8,
during which the agreements and covenants of Employee made in this Section 8
shall be effective, shall be computed by excluding from such computation any
time during which Employee is in violation of any provision of this Section 8.
(h) Employee has carefully read and considered the provisions of
this Section 8 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictive covenants in
this Section 8 impose a fair and reasonable restraint on Employee and are
reasonably required to protect the interests of the Company and its officers,
directors, employees and stockholders. It is further agreed that the Company
and Employee intend that such covenants be construed and enforced in
accordance with the changing activities, business and locations of the
Company throughout the term of these covenants.
(i) The parties hereby agree that the covenants set forth in this
Section 8 are a material and substantial part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, supported by adequate consideration.
9. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
(a) For a period of two (2) years after the effective date of
this Agreement, without the consent of Employee, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Company agrees that, so long as the Company is
receiving orders for dedicated positron emission tomography scanners at the
rate of seventeen (17) systems per annum, eleven (11) of the engineers and
physicists employed at the Company's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania location may
work full-time on dedicated positron emission tomography scanner design and
development with respect to the Company's existing products, products under
development and next generation products such as a combined PET and other
modality scanner. Such work includes typical engineering, manufacturing
engineering and regulatory activities.
(b) For a period of two (2) years after the effective date of
this Agreement, the Company agrees that, in the event of a vacancy in the
position of general manager of ADAC--UGM, Employee shall have the right to
participate in the selection of a new general manager, and in the event
Employee reasonably disagrees with the Company's recommendation, the Company
and Employee shall use reasonable efforts to identify an alternate candidate.
-15-
(c) For a period of two (2) years after the effective date of
this Agreement, without the consent of Employee, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Company agrees not to terminate any of the
original employees of Seller who become employees of the Company upon the
closing under the Agreement of Merger, except for cause or in connection with
a reduction in force.
(d) For a period of three (3) years after the effective date of
this Agreement or, if sooner, until such time as the Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania location is producing systems at a rate of forty (40) systems
per annum, without the consent of Employee, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, the Company agrees that the placement of purchase orders,
engineering and manufacturing for the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania location
shall continue to be conducted at the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania location,
except that aspects of such functions can be centralized by the Company at
another location if the Company demonstrates costs savings, quality or other
advantages of doing so (such as manufacturing certain sub-assemblies (E.G.,
the patient table) in Milpitas, California or centralizing the purchase of
certain significant cost items (E.G., crystals) in Milpitas, California).
10. NONASSIGNABILITY/SUCCESSORS. This Agreement may not be assigned by
either the Company or Employee, except that the Company may assign all or any of
its rights under this Agreement to the Company's affiliates by means of
assignment, merger or otherwise; but no such assignment shall impair the rights
or obligations of the parties as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be terminated by any of
the following events, and the successor entity to the Company or recipient of
its assets and Employee shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement: (1) any
merger, consolidation or other combination in which the Company is not the
surviving entity, (2) any sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets or (3) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) NOTICES. All notices and other communications required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given when delivered by hand, sent by overnight courier
service or facsimile transmission or dispatched by certified mail, postage
pre-paid, return receipt requested, to the parties at the following addresses
or to such other address for a party as such party may have designated to the

-16-
(b) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and, with respect to Section
5(k), the Agreement of Merger set forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof and
supersedes any prior understandings and agreements relating to the terms
hereof.
(c) AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement may be amended, modified,
superseded or canceled and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived, only
by a written instrument specifically referring to this Agreement and executed
by both of the parties hereto, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party
entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of the Company at any
time or from time to time to require performance of any of Employee's
obligations under this Agreement shall in no manner affect the Company's
right to enforce any provisions of this Agreement at a subsequent time, and
the waiver by the Company of any rights arising out of any breach shall not
be construed as a waiver of any right arising out of any subsequent breach.
(d) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance, should, for any reason and
to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall
not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent
permitted by law.

construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.
(f) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(g) HEADINGS. The section headings contained in this Agreement
are intended solely for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect
in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
(h) EFFECTIVENESS OF AGREEMENT. The Agreement shall become
effective upon the consummation of the merger of Sub and Seller pursuant to
the terms of the Agreement of Merger.
(i) PREVAILING PARTY. In the event of any claim, suit or legal
proceeding arising under or related to this Agreement, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover from the other party all of its attorneys' fees
and costs. The "PREVAILING PARTY" means the party who obtains substantially
the relief sought by such party in such claim, suit or proceeding, whether by

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT"), dated as of October ___,
1999, is made by and between Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (the "EMPLOYEE") and ADAC
Laboratories, a California corporation (the "COMPANY").

"AGREEMENT OF MERGER") among the Company, UGMMS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("SUB"), UGM Medical
Systems, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("SELLER"), the shareholders of Seller
and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, Ph.D., the Company is acquiring Seller.
B. Employee is considered a key employee of Seller and, following the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement of Merger,
desires to be an employee of the Company.
C. Employee and the Company desire to enter into an agreement to
provide for Employee's employment with the Company and to protect the investment
made by the Company and/or its affiliate in acquiring Seller.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. EMPLOYMENT: DUTIES. During the term of the Employment Period (as
defined in Section 2), and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Company shall employ Employee as Finance Director, PET, and the Employee shall
perform such duties for the Company as are assigned or delegated to Employee,
consistent with Employee's knowledge, experience and position with the Company.
Employee accepts such employment and agrees to render the services described
herein and to devote Employee's entire available business time, effort, skill
and attention exclusively to promote the best interests of the Company.
2. EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. The term of Employee's employment under this
Agreement (the "EMPLOYMENT PERIOD") shall commence on the closing date of the
transactions contemplated in the Agreement of Merger and shall end on the first
anniversary of such date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 5
hereof. To the extent Employee provides any services to the Company after the
expiration of the Employment Period, which the Company and Employee fully expect
Employee will do, such services shall be provided for an unspecified duration
and shall be provided on an "at will" basis, which means that the employment
relationship may be terminated at any time, with or without good cause or any
cause, at the option of either the Company or the Employee, with or without
notice,
-1-
and the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the terms of Sections 1
through 5 of this Agreement shall not be applicable thereto.
3. BASE SALARY. As compensation for the services to be rendered by
Employee during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay Employee an annual
base salary of $80,000, payable periodically consistent with the Company's
normal payroll practices, less such deductions and amounts to be withheld
therefrom as may be required under applicable law.
4. BONUS AND OTHER BENEFITS AND TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT. During the
Employment Period, the following benefits and other terms of employment shall
also apply:
(a) BONUSES. Employee shall be entitled to discretionary
bonuses on an annual basis in an amount equal to up to 20% of Employee's base
salary in accordance with the Company's standard company-wide bonus plan for
managers (referred to by the Company's management as the "MIT" or "Most
Important Task" bonus program). Such bonuses shall be subject to normal
withholding for all applicable federal and state taxes required to be withheld.
(b) EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse Employee for
customary and necessary expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in the course
of performing those duties which he or she has been requested to perform by the
Company, all in accordance with the Company's reimbursement policies then in
effect.
(c) INSURANCE, OTHER BENEFITS. To the extent offered by the
Company, Employee may participate in employee health, hospitalization,
disability, group-term life and other benefit programs on the same basis as the
Company's other employees who are at the same level of responsibility as
Employee.
(d) VACATION AND HOLIDAYS. Employee shall be entitled to paid
vacation commensurate with the vacation available to similarly situated
employees of the Company. Vacation must be taken by Employee at such time or
times as approved by Employee's immediate manager. Employee will also be
entitled to the paid holidays set forth in the Company's policies. Vacation days
and holidays during any fiscal year that are not used by Employee during such
year may not be used in any subsequent fiscal year.
(e) STOCK OPTIONS. The Company agrees to grant Employee
options to purchase 7,500 shares of the common stock of the Company pursuant to
the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan. Such options will be granted by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company at the next
meeting of the Committee. The exercise price for such options shall be equal to
the fair market value of such common stock on the date of grant.
5. TERMINATION. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) below, the
employment of Employee may be terminated as follows:
(a) DEATH. The Employment Period shall terminate upon the
Employee's death.
-2-
(b) DISABILITY. Subject to any limitations imposed under
applicable law, the Employment Period shall terminate upon Employee's
disability. Employee shall be regarded as disabled for purposes of this
Agreement if Employee has been unable, for physical or mental reasons, to
perform the duties required hereunder, in a manner consistent with past
practice, for a consecutive period of sixty (60) days or for ninety (90) days
during any twelve-month period during the Employment Period. In the event that
there should be any dispute between Employee and the Company as to whether
Employee is disabled within the meaning of this Agreement, such matter shall be
conclusively determined by the written report of a physician selected by the
Company, who is reasonably satisfactory to Employee. Employee agrees to submit
to examination by any such physician for the purpose of determining whether
Employee is disabled, and the parties agree that any determination with respect
to Employee's disability may be conclusively resolved in the sole judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company if Employee should fail to comply with any
request by the Company to submit to such an examination.
(c) FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Employment Period
and discharge Employee for cause immediately upon giving notice to Employee of
such termination. The term "for cause" as used herein shall be defined to
include one or more of the following grounds: (i) Employer shall have sufficient
evidence from which it may reasonably conclude that Employee has misappropriated
money or other assets or property (tangible or intangible) of the Company or its
affiliates; (ii) Employee's refusal or failure to perform any reasonable duty
assigned to Employee, and such refusal or failure is not cured by the Employee
within three (3) days of receipt of written notice thereof from the Company;
(iii) conviction of or a guilty plea by Employee of any crime (felony or
misdemeanor) involving moral turpitude where the reputation or public image of
the Company may be adversely affected by Employee's crime; (iv) a material
breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement; (v) any use or being under
the influence of any alcohol or drugs during work hours other than at a Company
function where alcohol is served; or (vi) any unreasonably extended absenteeism
on the part of Employee for reasons other than the Employee's inability, for
physical or mental reasons, to perform the duties required hereunder; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Employee will have no right to cure any default under clause (ii)
above if he or she has been notified twice earlier for other refusals or
failures.
(d) AT THE ELECTION OF THE COMPANY FOR REASONS OTHER THAN FOR
CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Employment Period and Employee's employment
hereunder at any time during the term of this Agreement without cause by giving
sixty (60) days' advance written notice to the Employee of an election to
terminate.
(e) RESIGNATION; "GOOD REASON". Employee may terminate the
Employment Period and Employee's employment hereunder at any time after the date
of this Agreement, without "Good Reason" (as defined below), by giving
forty-five (45) days' advance written notice to the Company of Employee's
resignation. Employee may terminate the Employment Period and Employee's
employment hereunder at any time for "Good Reason" if any of the following has
occurred: (i) the Company reduces Employee's base salary, (ii) the Employee's
participation in the Company's discretionary bonus, profit sharing, or
employment benefit plans is materially reduced or adversely affected or (iii)
the Company breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement.
-3-
(f) EFFECT OF TERMINATION OR RESIGNATION - TERMINATION PAYMENTS.
(i) GENERAL. Effective upon the termination of the
Employment Period and Employee's employment under this Agreement, the Company
will be obligated to pay Employee (or, in the event of Employee's death,
Employee's designated beneficiary or estate as set forth below) only such
compensation as is provided in this Section 5 in lieu of all other amounts
and in settlement of and complete release of all claims Employee may have
against the Company. In the event of the termination of the Employment Period
for any reason, the Company shall be obligated to pay and shall promptly pay
Employee (i) any and all amounts due Employee through the date of termination
with respect to all accrued but unpaid salary, (ii) other accrued but unpaid
bonuses through the date of termination, (iii) compensation for earned but
unused vacation time through the date of termination and (iv) unpaid
reimbursements for expenses described in Section 4(b) above incurred prior to
the termination. If Employee is deceased, such accrued payments shall be made
to such individual or entity as Employee may have designated in a writing
submitted to the Company or, in the absence of such written designation, to
Employee's estate. Early termination shall not affect any of Employee's
obligations and duties under Sections 6 or 7 below regardless of whether such
termination requires termination payments as provided below.
(ii) DEATH, DISABILITY, TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR
RESIGNATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON. Except as set forth in Section 5(f)(i)
above, in the event the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to the
provisions of Section 5(a) (Death), Section 5(b) (Disability) or Section 5(c)
(For Cause) or without Good Reason under Section 5(e), Employee shall not be
entitled to receive any termination benefits or payments; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that nothing herein shall preclude Employee from receiving standard death or
disability benefits under the Company's standard policy if provided to
Employee.
(iii) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION FOR GOOD
REASON. In the event the Company exercises its right to terminate the
Employee without cause under Section 5(d) or the Employee exercises his or
her right to resign with Good Reason under Section 5(e), the Company agrees
to pay the Employee a severance or termination payment equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Employee's current base salary for the balance of the
Employment Period (collectively, the "SEVERANCE PAYMENTS"). Severance
Payments shall be paid in equal monthly installments for the balance of the
severance period and shall be subject to normal withholding for all
applicable Federal and state taxes required to be withheld.
6. COVENANTS OF THE EMPLOYEE.
(a) NONDISCLOSURE OBLIGATION. Employee agrees to hold in confidence
and not disclose to others, or use for Employee's own benefit, either during
or after the Employment Period, any Confidential Information that Employee
learns, obtains or creates during the Employment Period and any subsequent
period during which Employee is employed by the Company or any of its
affiliates, whether or not during working hours, except to the extent
otherwise authorized by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement,
"CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" means information designated or otherwise
-4-
considered by the Company or any of its affiliates to be confidential or
proprietary, non-public information not known by actual or potential
competitors of Company or any of its affiliates and confidential information
of the Company's or any affiliate's customers, suppliers, licensors and other
third parties with whom any of them does business, including all confidential
or proprietary information that any of them is required to keep confidential.
(b) ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS. Employee agrees and understands
that the making of inventions is one of the incidents of Employee's employment.
Employee agrees to assign to the Company, without further compensation,
Employee's entire right, title and interest in and to all Inventions that are
conceived or reduced to practice by Employee. For purposes of this Agreement,
"INVENTIONS" means all products, designs, specifications, trademarks, service
marks, discoveries, formulae, processes, manufacturing techniques, trade
secrets, inventions, improvements and ideas, whether or not patentable, and all
copyrightable work prepared by Employee as an employee or contractor, alone or
jointly with others, within the scope of Employee's employment by the Company or
any of its affiliates or using any Confidential Information, which shall be work
made for hire owned by the Company. Also included in the foregoing are all
rights to obtain, register, perfect and enforce these rights. Employee agrees to
disclose in confidence all Inventions made by Employee to the Company to permit
a determination as to whether or not such Inventions are covered by this
Agreement. No rights are hereby conveyed in Inventions, if any, made by Employee
prior to the Employment Period, which are identified in Appendix 1 hereto.
Employee agrees to perform, during and after the Employment Period, all acts
deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist it, at its
expense, in obtaining and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and
title throughout the world in the Inventions assigned hereby. Such acts may
include execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal
proceedings.
(c) NON-SOLICITATION. Employee hereby agrees that during the period
of Employee's employment with the Company or any of its affiliates and for a
period of two years thereafter, and in all events for a period of not less
than five (5) years from the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement of
Merger), without the prior written consent of the Company, Employee shall
not, either as an individual or as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor,
independent contractor, general partner, officer, director, shareholder or
investor of a third party, solicit or attempt to solicit any person who at
the time of such inducement is an employee of the Company or any of its
affiliates to perform work or services for any other person.
(d) RETURN OF PROPERTY, ETC. Upon termination of Employee's
employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, or upon earlier request
of the Company, Employee agrees to return or deliver to the Company all
property belonging to the Company and its affiliates and all tangible forms
of Confidential Information in Employee's possession or control, including
but not limited to drawings, specifications, documents, records, devices,
models or any other material and copies or reproductions thereof. Employee
will provide to the Company, at its request, written certification that
Employee has returned all property and Confidential Information to the
Company and that Employee will continue to honor Employee's confidentiality
obligations hereunder.
-5-
(e) OTHER AGREEMENTS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee represents
and warrants that Employee's performance of all of the terms of this
Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence the proprietary
information, knowledge or data of others acquired by Employee in confidence
or in trust prior to the Employment Period, and Employee agrees not to
disclose to the Company or any of its affiliates, or induce the Company or
any of its affiliates to use, any confidential or proprietary information or
material belonging to any previous employer or any other person (other than
Seller or UGM Laboratory, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("UGM
Laboratory")), and represents that Employee does not have in Employee's
possession or control any such information or material. Employee represents
and warrants that Employee is not a party to any other agreement that would
interfere with Employee's full compliance with this Agreement.
(f) SURVIVAL. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this
Section 6 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and
Employee's employment or engagement by the Company or any of its affiliates
and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company
and shall be binding upon Employee's heirs, assigns, administrators and
representatives.
(g) CONFLICTS. Employee agrees not to enter into any written or
oral agreement that conflicts with the provisions of this Section 6, and
acknowledges that any breach by Employee of this section may constitute
grounds for serious disciplinary action, up to and including termination of
employment with the Company or any of its affiliates.
(h) REMEDIES. Each party acknowledges that in the event of a breach
of this Agreement, the damage to the nonbreaching party would be irreparable
and extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages
inadequate. Thus, in addition to any other right or remedy available to it, a
party shall be entitled to injunctive relief for breach of any provisions of
this Agreement.
(i) REFORMATION OF AGREEMENT. In the event that any of the
covenants contained in this Section 6 may be found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as against public policy or
otherwise, the parties hereto expressly authorize such court to exercise its
discretion in rendering any such covenant to the end that the Employee shall
be subject to the greatest extent permissible to covenants that are
reasonable under the circumstances, enforceable by the Company and consistent
with the Company's legitimate interests, which are hereby acknowledged by the
parties hereto, in protecting the Company's and its affiliates' goodwill
associated with the experience, skills and loyalty of the Employee and in
protecting the value of its investment, through the acquisition of the assets
of Seller and otherwise, in the business and assets of the Seller or any of
its affiliates.
7. RESTRICTION ON COMPETITION.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company,
during the Employment Period and thereafter, if Employee continues to be
employed by the Company and/or any other entity owned by or affiliated with the
Company on an "at will" basis, for the duration of such period, and
-6-
thereafter for a period of two (2) years, and in all events for a period of
not less than five (5) years from the Effective Time (as defined in the
Agreement of Merger), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for
Employee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, company,
partnership, corporation, business, group or other entity (each, a "PERSON"):
(i) engage, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner,
partner, member or joint venturer or in a managerial capacity, whether as an
employee, independent contractor, consultant or advisor, or as a sales
representative, in any business selling any products or services relating to
the field of nuclear medicine equipment and related software, including
without limitation, products or services relating to positron emission
tomography scanners;
(ii) call upon any Person who is, at that time, an employee of
the Company, the Seller or UGM Laboratory for the purpose or with the intent
of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of the Company, the
Seller or UGM Laboratory; or
(iii) call upon any Person who or that is, at that time, or
has been, within one year prior to that time, a customer of the Company, the
Seller or UGM Laboratory for the purpose of soliciting or selling products or
services in direct competition with the Company, the Seller or UGM Laboratory.
(b) The foregoing covenants shall not be deemed to prohibit
Employee from acquiring as an investment not more than one percent (1%) of the
capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a national
securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a registered
securities association.
(c) For purposes of this Section 7, references to "THE
COMPANY" shall mean ADAC Laboratories, together with its subsidiaries and
affiliates.
(d) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to
the Company as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of
the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Company for
which it would have no other adequate remedy, Employee agrees that the foregoing
covenants may be enforced by the Company in the event of breach by Employee by
injunctions and restraining orders.
(e) The parties agree that the foregoing covenants in this
Section 7 impose a reasonable restraint on Employee in light of the activities
and business of the Company on the date of the execution of this Agreement,
assuming the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement of
Merger, and the current plans of the Company.
(f) The covenants in this Section 7 are severable and
separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the
provisions of any other covenant. If any provision of this Section 7 relating to
the time period or geographic area of the restrictive covenants shall be
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period
or geographic area, as applicable, that such court deems reasonable and
enforceable, such time period or geographic area
-7-
shall be deemed to be, and thereafter shall become, the maximum time period
or largest geographic area that such court deems reasonable and enforceable
and this Agreement shall automatically be considered to have been amended and
revised to reflect such determination.
(g) All of the covenants in this Section 7 shall be construed
as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the
existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company,
whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants; PROVIDED, that upon
the failure of the Company to make any payments required under this Agreement,
Employee may, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Company, and to
the extent the Company continues to fail to make such required payments, waive
Employee's right to receive any additional compensation pursuant to this
Agreement and engage in any activity prohibited by the covenants of this Section
7. It is specifically agreed that the two (2) year and five (5) year periods
stated at the beginning of this Section 7, during which the agreements and
covenants of Employee made in this Section 7 shall be effective, shall be
computed by excluding from such computation any time during which Employee is in
violation of any provision of this Section 7.
(h) Employee has carefully read and considered the provisions
of this Section 7 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictive covenants in
this Section 7 impose a fair and reasonable restraint on Employee and are
reasonably required to protect the interests of the Company and its officers,
directors, employees and stockholders. It is further agreed that the Company and
Employee intend that such covenants be construed and enforced in accordance with
the changing activities, business and locations of the Company throughout the
term of these covenants.
(i) The parties hereby agree that the covenants set forth in
this Section 7 are a material and substantial part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, supported by adequate consideration.
8. NONASSIGNABILITY/SUCCESSORS. This Agreement may not be assigned by
either the Company or Employee, except that the Company may assign all or any of
its rights under this Agreement to the Company's affiliates by means of
assignment, merger or otherwise; but no such assignment shall impair the rights
or obligations of the parties as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be terminated by any of
the following events, and the successor entity to the Company or recipient of
its assets and Employee shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement: (1) any
merger, consolidation or other combination in which the Company is not the
surviving entity, (2) any sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets or (3) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) NOTICES. All notices and other communications required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given when delivered by hand, sent by overnight courier service or
facsimile transmission or dispatched by certified mail, postage pre-paid,

matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings and agreements relating

superseded, or canceled and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived, only
by a written instrument specifically referring to this Agreement and executed
by both of the parties hereto, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party
entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of the Company at any
time or from time to time to require performance of any of Employee's
obligations under this Agreement shall in no manner affect the Company's
right to enforce any provisions of this Agreement at a subsequent time, and
the waiver by the Company of any rights arising out of any breach shall not
be construed as a waiver of any right arising out of any subsequent breach.
(d) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance, should, for any reason and
to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall
not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent

the relief sought by such party in such claim, suit or proceeding, whether by
settlement, summary judgment, judgment or otherwise.

EXHIBIT E
E-1
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT"), dated as of October
___, 1999, is made by and between Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (the "EMPLOYEE") and ADAC
Laboratories, a California corporation (the "COMPANY").
BACKGROUND
A. By virtue of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"AGREEMENT OF MERGER") among the Company, UGMMS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("SUB"), UGM Medical
Systems, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("SELLER"), the shareholders of
Seller and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, Ph.D., the Company is acquiring Seller.
B. Employee is considered a key employee of Seller and, following
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement of Merger,
desires to be an employee of the Company.
C. Employee and the Company desire to enter into an agreement to
provide for Employee's employment with the Company and to protect the
investment made by the Company and/or its affiliate in acquiring Seller.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. EMPLOYMENT: DUTIES. During the term of the Employment Period (as
defined in Section 2), and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Company shall employ Employee as Director of Engineering, and the Employee
shall perform such duties for the Company as are assigned or delegated to
Employee, consistent with Employee's knowledge, experience and position with
the Company. Employee accepts such employment and agrees to render the
services described herein and to devote Employee's entire available business
time, effort, skill and attention exclusively to promote the best interests
of the Company.
2. EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. The term of Employee's employment under this
Agreement (the "EMPLOYMENT PERIOD") shall commence on the closing date of the
transactions contemplated in the Agreement of Merger and shall end on the
first anniversary of such date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section
5 hereof. To the extent Employee provides any services to the Company after
the expiration of the Employment Period, which the Company and Employee fully
expect Employee will do, such services shall be provided for an unspecified
duration and shall be provided on an "at will" basis, which means that the
employment relationship may be terminated at any time, with or without
-1-
good cause or any cause, at the option of either the Company or the Employee,
with or without notice, and the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the
terms of Sections 1 through 5 of this Agreement shall not be applicable
thereto.
3. BASE SALARY. As compensation for the services to be rendered by
Employee during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay Employee an
annual base salary of $90,000, payable periodically consistent with the
Company's normal payroll practices, less such deductions and amounts to be
withheld therefrom as may be required under applicable law.
4. BONUS AND OTHER BENEFITS AND TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT. During the
Employment Period, the following benefits and other terms of employment shall
also apply:
(a) BONUSES. Employee shall be entitled to discretionary
bonuses on an annual basis in an amount equal to up to 20% of Employee's base
salary in accordance with the Company's standard company-wide bonus plan for
managers (referred to by the Company's management as the "MIT" or "Most
Important Task" bonus program). Such bonuses shall be subject to normal
withholding for all applicable federal and state taxes required to be
withheld.
(b) EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse Employee for
customary and necessary expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in the
course of performing those duties which he or she has been requested to
perform by the Company, all in accordance with the Company's reimbursement
policies then in effect.
(c) INSURANCE, OTHER BENEFITS. To the extent offered by the
Company, Employee may participate in employee health, hospitalization,
disability, group-term life and other benefit programs on the same basis as
the Company's other employees who are at the same level of responsibility as
Employee.
(d) VACATION AND HOLIDAYS. Employee shall be entitled to
paid vacation commensurate with the vacation available to similarly situated
employees of the Company. Vacation must be taken by Employee at such time or
times as approved by Employee's immediate manager. Employee will also be
entitled to the paid holidays set forth in the Company's policies. Vacation
days and holidays during any fiscal year that are not used by Employee during
such year may not be used in any subsequent fiscal year.
(e) STOCK OPTIONS. The Company agrees to grant Employee
options to purchase 8,000 shares of the common stock of the Company pursuant
to the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan. Such options will be granted by
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company at the
next meeting of the Committee. The exercise price for such options shall be
equal to the fair market value of such common stock on the date of grant.
5. TERMINATION. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) below, the
employment of Employee may be terminated as follows:
-2-
(a) DEATH. The Employment Period shall terminate upon the
Employee's death.
(b) DISABILITY. Subject to any limitations imposed under
applicable law, the Employment Period shall terminate upon Employee's
disability. Employee shall be regarded as disabled for purposes of this
Agreement if Employee has been unable, for physical or mental reasons, to
perform the duties required hereunder, in a manner consistent with past
practice, for a consecutive period of sixty (60) days or for ninety (90) days
during any twelve-month period during the Employment Period. In the event
that there should be any dispute between Employee and the Company as to
whether Employee is disabled within the meaning of this Agreement, such
matter shall be conclusively determined by the written report of a physician
selected by the Company, who is reasonably satisfactory to Employee. Employee
agrees to submit to examination by any such physician for the purpose of
determining whether Employee is disabled, and the parties agree that any
determination with respect to Employee's disability may be conclusively
resolved in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company if
Employee should fail to comply with any request by the Company to submit to
such an examination.
(c) FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Employment
Period and discharge Employee for cause immediately upon giving notice to
Employee of such termination. The term "for cause" as used herein shall be
defined to include one or more of the following grounds: (i) Employer shall
have sufficient evidence from which it may reasonably conclude that Employee
has misappropriated money or other assets or property (tangible or
intangible) of the Company or its affiliates; (ii) Employee's refusal or
failure to perform any reasonable duty assigned to Employee, and such refusal
or failure is not cured by the Employee within three (3) days of receipt of
written notice thereof from the Company; (iii) conviction of or a guilty plea
by Employee of any crime (felony or misdemeanor) involving moral turpitude
where the reputation or public image of the Company may be adversely affected
by Employee's crime; (iv) a material breach of any of the provisions of this
Agreement; (v) any use or being under the influence of any alcohol or drugs
during work hours other than at a Company function where alcohol is served;
or (vi) any unreasonably extended absenteeism on the part of Employee for
reasons other than the Employee's inability, for physical or mental reasons,
to perform the duties required hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Employee
will have no right to cure any default under clause (ii) above if he or she
has been notified twice earlier for other refusals or failures.
(d) AT THE ELECTION OF THE COMPANY FOR REASONS OTHER THAN
FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Employment Period and Employee's
employment hereunder at any time during the term of this Agreement without
cause by giving sixty (60) days' advance written notice to the Employee of an
election to terminate.
(e) RESIGNATION; "GOOD REASON". Employee may terminate the
Employment Period and Employee's employment hereunder at any time after the
date of this Agreement, without "Good Reason" (as defined below), by giving
forty-five (45) days' advance written notice to the Company of Employee's
resignation. Employee may terminate the Employment Period and Employee's
employment hereunder at any time for "Good Reason" if any of the following
has occurred: (i) the Company reduces
-3-
Employee's base salary, (ii) the Employee's participation in the Company's
discretionary bonus, profit sharing, or employment benefit plans is
materially reduced or adversely affected or (iii) the Company breaches any of
its material obligations under this Agreement.
(f) EFFECT OF TERMINATION OR RESIGNATION - TERMINATION
PAYMENTS.
(i) GENERAL. Effective upon the termination
of the Employment Period and Employee's employment under this Agreement, the
Company will be obligated to pay Employee (or, in the event of Employee's
death, Employee's designated beneficiary or estate as set forth below) only
such compensation as is provided in this Section 5 in lieu of all other
amounts and in settlement of and complete release of all claims Employee may
have against the Company. In the event of the termination of the Employment
Period for any reason, the Company shall be obligated to pay and shall
promptly pay Employee (i) any and all amounts due Employee through the date
of termination with respect to all accrued but unpaid salary, (ii) other
accrued but unpaid bonuses through the date of termination, (iii)
compensation for earned but unused vacation time through the date of
termination and (iv) unpaid reimbursements for expenses described in Section
4(b) above incurred prior to the termination. If Employee is deceased, such
accrued payments shall be made to such individual or entity as Employee may
have designated in a writing submitted to the Company or, in the absence of
such written designation, to Employee's estate. Early termination shall not
affect any of Employee's obligations and duties under Sections 6 or 7 below
regardless of whether such termination requires termination payments as
provided below.
(ii) DEATH, DISABILITY, TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
OR RESIGNATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON. Except as set forth in Section 5(f)(i)
above, in the event the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to the
provisions of Section 5(a) (Death), Section 5(b) (Disability) or Section 5(c)
(For Cause) or without Good Reason under Section 5(e), Employee shall not be
entitled to receive any termination benefits or payments; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that nothing herein shall preclude Employee from receiving standard death or
disability benefits under the Company's standard policy if provided to
Employee.
(iii) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION
FOR GOOD REASON. In the event the Company exercises its right to terminate
the Employee without cause under Section 5(d) or the Employee exercises his
or her right to resign with Good Reason under Section 5(e), the Company
agrees to pay the Employee a severance or termination payment equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Employee's current base salary for the balance
of the Employment Period (collectively, the "SEVERANCE PAYMENTS"). Severance
Payments shall be paid in equal monthly installments for the balance of the
severance period and shall be subject to normal withholding for all
applicable Federal and state taxes required to be withheld.
6. COVENANTS OF THE EMPLOYEE.
(a) NONDISCLOSURE OBLIGATION. Employee agrees to hold in
confidence and not disclose to others, or use for Employee's own benefit,
either during or after the Employment Period, any
-4-
Confidential Information that Employee learns, obtains or creates during the
Employment Period and any subsequent period during which Employee is employed
by the Company or any of its affiliates, whether or not during working hours,
except to the extent otherwise authorized by the Company. For purposes of
this Agreement, "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" means information designated or
otherwise considered by the Company or any of its affiliates to be
confidential or proprietary, non-public information not known by actual or
potential competitors of Company or any of its affiliates and confidential
information of the Company's or any affiliate's customers, suppliers,
licensors and other third parties with whom any of them does business,
including all confidential or proprietary information that any of them is
required to keep confidential.
(b) ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS. Employee agrees and
understands that the making of inventions is one of the incidents of
Employee's employment. Employee agrees to assign to the Company, without
further compensation, Employee's entire right, title and interest in and to
all Inventions that are conceived or reduced to practice by Employee. For
purposes of this Agreement, "INVENTIONS" means all products, designs,
specifications, trademarks, service marks, discoveries, formulae, processes,
manufacturing techniques, trade secrets, inventions, improvements and ideas,
whether or not patentable, and all copyrightable work prepared by Employee as
an employee or contractor, alone or jointly with others, within the scope of
Employee's employment by the Company or any of its affiliates or using any
Confidential Information, which shall be work made for hire owned by the
Company. Also included in the foregoing are all rights to obtain, register,
perfect and enforce these rights. Employee agrees to disclose in confidence
all Inventions made by Employee to the Company to permit a determination as
to whether or not such Inventions are covered by this Agreement. No rights
are hereby conveyed in Inventions, if any, made by Employee prior to the
Employment Period, which are identified in Appendix 1 hereto. Employee agrees
to perform, during and after the Employment Period, all acts deemed necessary
or desirable by the Company to permit and assist it, at its expense, in
obtaining and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title
throughout the world in the Inventions assigned hereby. Such acts may include
execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings.
(c) NON-SOLICITATION. Employee hereby agrees that during
the period of Employee's employment with the Company or any of its affiliates
and for a period of two years thereafter, and in all events for a period of
not less than five (5) years from the Effective Time (as defined in the
Agreement of Merger), without the prior written consent of the Company,
Employee shall not, either as an individual or as an employee, agent,
consultant, advisor, independent contractor, general partner, officer,
director, shareholder or investor of a third party, solicit or attempt to
solicit any person who at the time of such inducement is an employee of the
Company or any of its affiliates to perform work or services for any other
person.
(d) RETURN OF PROPERTY, ETC. Upon termination of Employee's
employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, or upon earlier request
of the Company, Employee agrees to return or deliver to the Company all
property belonging to the Company and its affiliates and all tangible forms
of Confidential Information in Employee's possession or control, including
but not limited to drawings,
-5-
specifications, documents, records, devices, models or any other material and
copies or reproductions thereof. Employee will provide to the Company, at its
request, written certification that Employee has returned all property and
Confidential Information to the Company and that Employee will continue to
honor Employee's confidentiality obligations hereunder.
(e) OTHER AGREEMENTS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee
represents and warrants that Employee's performance of all of the terms of
this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence the
proprietary information, knowledge or data of others acquired by Employee in
confidence or in trust prior to the Employment Period, and Employee agrees
not to disclose to the Company or any of its affiliates, or induce the
Company or any of its affiliates to use, any confidential or proprietary
information or material belonging to any previous employer or any other
person (other than Seller or UGM Laboratory, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
("UGM Laboratory")), and represents that Employee does not have in Employee's
possession or control any such information or material. Employee represents
and warrants that Employee is not a party to any other agreement that would
interfere with Employee's full compliance with this Agreement.
(f) SURVIVAL. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement and Employee's employment or engagement by the Company or any of
its affiliates and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns
of the Company and shall be binding upon Employee's heirs, assigns,
administrators and representatives.
(g) CONFLICTS. Employee agrees not to enter into any
written or oral agreement that conflicts with the provisions of this Section
6, and acknowledges that any breach by Employee of this section may
constitute grounds for serious disciplinary action, up to and including
termination of employment with the Company or any of its affiliates.
(h) REMEDIES. Each party acknowledges that in the event of
a breach of this Agreement, the damage to the nonbreaching party would be
irreparable and extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or
in damages inadequate. Thus, in addition to any other right or remedy
available to it, a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief for breach of
any provisions of this Agreement.
(i) REFORMATION OF AGREEMENT. In the event that any of the
covenants contained in this Section 6 may be found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as against public policy or
otherwise, the parties hereto expressly authorize such court to exercise its
discretion in rendering any such covenant to the end that the Employee shall
be subject to the greatest extent permissible to covenants that are
reasonable under the circumstances, enforceable by the Company and consistent
with the Company's legitimate interests, which are hereby acknowledged by the
parties hereto, in protecting the Company's and its affiliates' goodwill
associated with the experience, skills and loyalty of the Employee and in
protecting the value of its investment, through the acquisition of the assets
of Seller and otherwise, in the business and assets of the Seller or any of
its affiliates.
-6-
7. RESTRICTION ON COMPETITION.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company,
during the Employment Period and thereafter, if Employee continues to be
employed by the Company and/or any other entity owned by or affiliated with
the Company on an "at will" basis, for the duration of such period, and
thereafter for a period of two (2) years, and in all events for a period of
not less than five (5) years from the Effective Time (as defined in the
Agreement of Merger), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for
Employee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, company,
partnership, corporation, business, group or other entity (each, a "PERSON"):
(i) engage, as an officer, director,
shareholder, owner, partner, member or joint venturer or in a managerial
capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or
advisor, or as a sales representative, in any business selling any products
or services relating to the field of nuclear medicine equipment and related
software, including without limitation, products or services relating to
positron emission tomography scanners;
(ii) call upon any Person who is, at that time, an
employee of the Company, the Seller or UGM Laboratory for the purpose or with
the intent of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of the
Company, the Seller or UGM Laboratory; or
(iii) call upon any Person who or that is, at that
time, or has been, within one year prior to that time, a customer of the
Company, the Seller or UGM Laboratory for the purpose of soliciting or
selling products or services in direct competition with the Company, the
Seller or UGM Laboratory.
(b) The foregoing covenants shall not be deemed to prohibit
Employee from acquiring as an investment not more than one percent (1%) of
the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a
national securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a
registered securities association.
(c) For purposes of this Section 7, references to "THE
COMPANY" shall mean ADAC Laboratories, together with its subsidiaries and
affiliates.
(d) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses
to the Company as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants, and
because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the
Company for which it would have no other adequate remedy, Employee agrees
that the foregoing covenants may be enforced by the Company in the event of
breach by Employee by injunctions and restraining orders.
(e) The parties agree that the foregoing covenants in this
Section 7 impose a reasonable restraint on Employee in light of the
activities and business of the Company on the date of
-7-
the execution of this Agreement, assuming the completion of the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement of Merger, and the current plans of the Company.
(f) The covenants in this Section 7 are severable and
separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect
the provisions of any other covenant. If any provision of this Section 7
relating to the time period or geographic area of the restrictive covenants
shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum
time period or geographic area, as applicable, that such court deems
reasonable and enforceable, such time period or geographic area shall be
deemed to be, and thereafter shall become, the maximum time period or largest
geographic area that such court deems reasonable and enforceable and this
Agreement shall automatically be considered to have been amended and revised
to reflect such determination.
(g) All of the covenants in this Section 7 shall be
construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this
Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee
against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall
not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants;
PROVIDED, that upon the failure of the Company to make any payments required
under this Agreement, Employee may, upon thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Company, and to the extent the Company continues to fail to
make such required payments, waive Employee's right to receive any additional
compensation pursuant to this Agreement and engage in any activity prohibited
by the covenants of this Section 7. It is specifically agreed that the two
(2) year and five (5) year periods stated at the beginning of this Section 7,
during which the agreements and covenants of Employee made in this Section 7
shall be effective, shall be computed by excluding from such computation any
time during which Employee is in violation of any provision of this Section 7.
(h) Employee has carefully read and considered the
provisions of this Section 7 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictive
covenants in this Section 7 impose a fair and reasonable restraint on
Employee and are reasonably required to protect the interests of the Company
and its officers, directors, employees and stockholders. It is further agreed
that the Company and Employee intend that such covenants be construed and
enforced in accordance with the changing activities, business and locations
of the Company throughout the term of these covenants.
(i) The parties hereby agree that the covenants set forth
in this Section 7 are a material and substantial part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, supported by adequate consideration.
8. NONASSIGNABILITY/SUCCESSORS. This Agreement may not be assigned
by either the Company or Employee, except that the Company may assign all or
any of its rights under this Agreement to the Company's affiliates by means
of assignment, merger or otherwise; but no such assignment shall impair the
rights or obligations of the parties as provided herein. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be
terminated by any of the following events, and the successor entity to the
Company or recipient of its assets and Employee shall be bound
-8-
by the terms of this Agreement: (1) any merger, consolidation or other
combination in which the Company is not the surviving entity, (2) any sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets or (3) any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation of the Company.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) NOTICES. All notices and other communications required
or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to

service or facsimile transmission or dispatched by certified mail, postage

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT
This INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of _____________,
1999 between ADAC Laboratories, a California corporation with offices at 000
Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 ("ADAC") and Xxxx Xxxx, with an address of
________________________________ "Contractor").
RECITALS
A. ADAC requires the services of qualified individuals who possess
specialized skills and expertise to work on limited-term consulting projects or
other assignments from time to time.
B. Contractor is in the business of rendering specialized services to
clients such as ADAC on such consulting projects or other assignments.
C. ADAC desires to retain Contractor, and Contractor desires to be so
retained, to render services to ADAC on the terms and conditions specified in
this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. SERVICES. Subject to this Agreement, ADAC hereby retains Contractor to
perform the projects or other assignments during the time frame(s) and as
specified in EXHIBIT A.
2. TERM. This Agreement shall commence on the effective date of ADAC's
acquisition of UGM Medical Systems, Inc. and be effective for the period
specified in EXHIBIT A (the "Term"), unless sooner terminated due to (a)
completion of the services described in EXHIBIT A, or (b) pursuant to Section
10. In no event shall the Term exceed twelve (12) months.
3. TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT
(a) Contractor will determine the method, details and means of performing the
services specified in EXHIBIT A, and ADAC shall not direct, control or supervise
Contractor in this regard.
(b) Contractor shall perform the services set forth in EXHIBIT A at any place or
location and at such times as Contractor shall determine; provided, however,
that if the parties agree that the services to be provided by Contractor
necessitate that such services be performed on ADAC's premises, ADAC shall
furnish sufficient space for use by Contractor for such purpose. Contractor will
be responsible for supplying all tools and instrumentalities required to perform
the work specified in EXHIBIT A.
(c) During the Term, Contractor shall not render services in any capacity to any
company, division or business unit whose services or products are competitive
with any ADAC product or service. To the extent this Section 3(c) conflicts with
the terms of the Nondisclosure Agreement (as defined in Section 6 below), the
terms of this Section shall govern. Nothing in this agreement shall preclude
Contractor from fulfilling his employment obligations to the University of
Pennsylvania, provided that Contractor avoids to the maximum extent possible
within his employment at the University of Pennsylvania any activity which
directly benefits a company, division or business unit whose services or
products are competitive with any ADAC product or service.
4. FEES. In consideration for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement,
ADAC shall pay Contractor the fees set forth in EXHIBIT A. Unless otherwise
agreed, Contractor will submit monthly invoices to ADAC in respect of
services rendered, and ADAC shall pay each such invoice within forty-five
(45) days of receipt.
5. EXPENSES. ADAC will reimburse Contractor for all out-of-pocket expenses
actually incurred by Contractor in rendering services under this Agreement so
long as such expenses are (a) necessary, reasonable and directly related to
work specified in EXHIBIT A, and (b) consistent with ADAC's then-current
expense reimbursement policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor
shall be solely liable for payment of all fees, licenses, bonds, taxes or
other expenses required or imposed against Contractor as a cost of doing
business.
6. NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT. Upon execution of this Agreement, Contractor and
each Related Party (as defined in Section 7 below) shall be bound by the ADAC
Nondisclosure and Inventions Agreement ("Nondisclosure Agreement") which
Contractor shall execute as a condition to this Agreement becoming effective.
7. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR AND RELATED PARTIES. Contractor agrees and
acknowledges that neither Contractor nor any of Contractor's employees,
subcontractors or agents (each, a "Related Party"), shall be considered,
represented as, or deemed to be employees of ADAC. Accordingly, neither
Contractor nor any Related Party shall be eligible for any ADAC employee
benefits including, but not limited to, workers' compensation, disability
insurance or unemployment insurance. Contractor will be solely responsible
for properly reporting, withholding and paying all applicable taxes and other
fees with respect to (a) all amounts directly or indirectly paid by ADAC to
Contractor or any Related Party, and (b) all amounts paid by Contractor to
any Related Party.
8. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES. ADAC and Contractor shall be independent
contractors, and shall not be deemed to be partners, joint venturers or
co-employers of any Related Party, or for any other purpose. In addition to
all other indemnities provided herein, Contractor shall indemnify and hold
harmless ADAC and each Indemnitee (as defined in Section 11) from any and all
claims, suits, losses, damages, liabilities, awards, costs (including
attorneys' fees and costs) or other expenses of any kind or nature which
arise from or relate to any finding or assertion that (a) ADAC and Contractor
are other than independent contractors of one another, or (b) that any
Related Party is other than an independent contractor of ADAC
9. TERM AND TERMINATION.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, either party may terminate
this Agreement upon ten (10) days' written notice to the other party if such
party: (i) becomes the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding under any applicable law; (ii) ceases to be actively
engaged in business; or (ii) breaches any material term or condition of this
Agreement and fails to remedy the breach within fifteen (15) days after
receiving written notice thereof; provided, however, that if such breach cannot
be cured within such fifteen (15) day period but (x) the breach is capable of
cure, (y) the breaching party begins to effect a cure within such fifteen (15)
day period, and (z) the breaching party diligently pursues such cure, such party
shall have so much time as is reasonably necessary to cure such default.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADAC shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement immediately upon written notice to Contractor in the following
circumstances: (i) the death or disability (defined below) of Contractor (if
Contractor is an individual); (ii) the actual or alleged violation by Contractor
or any Related Party of any federal, state or local statute, regulation, law or
ordinance which, in ADAC's opinion, adversely affects the business or reputation
of ADAC, or Contractor's ability to perform Contractor's duties hereunder; (iii)
upon the absence or unavailability of Contractor or a Related Party assigned to
ADAC for any reason for a period in excess of ten (10) consecutive days without
the prior written approval of ADAC; (iv) material violation by Contractor or any
Related Party of any ADAC policy; or (v) breach by Contractor or any Related
Party of any provision of the Nondisclosure Agreement. "Disability" means a
physical or mental disability of a nature
-2-
which, in ADAC's reasonable opinion, will prevent an individual from timely
performing work under this Agreement. ADAC may also terminate this Agreement
for any reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Contractor.
(c) Termination of this Agreement shall become effective on the date specified
in the applicable notice. Upon termination, ADAC shall have no obligation to
Contractor other than the payment of fees and other amounts due with respect to
services actually rendered by Contractor prior to the effective date of such
termination. Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement for any reason,
Contractor shall continue to be bound by its obligations under the Nondisclosure
Agreement.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless ADAC and
each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents ("Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims,
suits, losses, damages, liabilities, awards, costs (including attorneys' fees
and costs) or other expenses of any kind or nature arising from or relating
to: (a) any wrongful act or omission by Contractor or any Related Party,
whether or not the same constitutes a breach of this Agreement or is
committed in the course of performing Contractor's duties hereunder,
including but not limited to those acts or omissions which are considered
tortious, discriminatory or otherwise unlawful under any applicable law; and
(b) any act or omission relating to Contractor's failure to properly report,
withhold or pay any applicable federal, state or local taxes or fees of any
kind. ADAC shall indemnify and hold harmless Contactor from and against any
and all claims, suits, losses, damages, liabilities, awards, costs (including
attorneys' fees and costs) or other expenses of any kind or nature arising
from or relating to any wrongful act or omission by ADAC , whether or not the
same constitutes a breach of this Agreement or is committed in the course of
performing ADAC's duties hereunder, including but not limited to those acts
or omissions which are considered tortious, discriminatory, or otherwise
unlawful under any applicable law.
11. CONTRACTOR'S REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY. Contractor represents and
warrants to ADAC that: (a) performance of its services hereunder (whether
directly or in conjunction with any Related Person) will not result in the
breach or violation of any contract, arrangement or understanding which
Contractor may have with any third party; (b) Contractor's products and
services hereunder will conform to ADAC's specifications, if any; and (c)
Contractor and each Related Party rendering services hereunder is authorized
under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) to lawfully work

action seeking injunctive relief relating to a breach of the Nondisclosure
Agreement, they will meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve any
controversy or claim between them arising under this Agreement before a
mutually agreed-upon neutral mediator. If negotiations do not resolve the
dispute within sixty (60) days of a written request by either party for
mediation, then the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration before
a single arbitrator in accordance with applicable rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The parties agree that appropriate venue for such
arbitration shall be the County of Santa Xxxxx or the County of San
Francisco. This Section does not apply to any action or proceeding which may
be commenced by any third party against either Contractor or ADAC in
connection with this Agreement.
13. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict
of law rules. The parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located within the counties of Santa Xxxxx or San Francisco
within the State of California.
(b) NOTICE. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed to have been given either: (i) upon personal
delivery or confirmed facsimile transmission; (ii) one (1) day after deposit
with a courier service for next day delivery; or (iii) five (5) days after
deposit in the U.S. Mail, registered mail-postage prepaid. In all cases, notices

-3-
facsimile transmission numbers set forth at the beginning of this Agreement.
Either party may change its address or facsimile number upon written notice
to the other party in accordance with the terms of this subsection.
(c) ASSIGNMENT. Contractor may not assign any of its rights (except the right to
receive payment) or obligations hereunder by operation of law or otherwise
without the prior written consent of ADAC. ADAC may assign its rights or
delegate its obligations hereunder to any successor to its business without
Contractor's consent. Any assignment or attempted assignment in violation of
this Section shall be void and of no force or effect.
(d) SEVERABILITY. In the event that any of the terms or provisions herein shall
violate any statutory provision or may be otherwise unlawful or inoperative, it

be carried out as far as possible consistent with its tenor and effect.

in such claim, suit or proceeding, whether by settlement, summary judgment,
judgment or otherwise. Notwithstanding this provision, the parties shall equally

ADAC LABORATORIES
NONDISCLOSURE AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT
In consideration of and as a condition of my employment or engagement
by ADAC Laboratories, its subsidiaries, affiliates or successors (collectively,
"ADAC"), I agree as follows:
1. I will hold in confidence and not disclose to others, or use for my
own benefit, either during or after my employment or engagement by ADAC, any
Confidential Information that I learn, obtain or create during the period of
my employment or engagement with ADAC, whether or not during working hours,
except to the extent otherwise authorized by ADAC. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Confidential Information" means information designated or
otherwise considered by ADAC to be confidential or proprietary, non-public
information not known by actual or potential competitors of ADAC, and
confidential or proprietary information of ADAC's customers, suppliers,
licensors, and other third parties with whom ADAC does business, including
all confidential or proprietary information that ADAC is required to keep
confidential; provided that such term shall not include information (i) that
was publicly known prior to the time I learn, obtain or create such
information or (ii) that subsequently becomes publicly known through no act
or omission by me or any third person or entity acting on my behalf or to
whom I provided such information.
This Agreement does not impede my right to publish information that I develop to
the extent such information is not Confidential Information and is not otherwise
restricted by this Agreement; provided that ADAC shall have the right to review
and approve any information prior to its submission for publication and its
publication and prior to any other presentation, whether written or oral, of
such information.
2. I understand that the making of Inventions is one of the incidents
of my employment and I agree to assign to ADAC, without further compensation,
my entire right, title, and interest in and to all Inventions that are
conceived or reduced to practice by me, or jointly with others, during the
period of my employment or engagement with ADAC or while using any
Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, the right, title and
interest in and to all Inventions that are conceived or reduced to practice
jointly with unaffiliated third parties during the period of my employment or
engagement with ADAC or while using any Confidential Information are subject
to the rights of such unaffiliated third parties in connection therewith. The
foregoing shall not apply, however, to any Invention that is developed
entirely in connection with work unrelated to ADAC or its affiliates, such as
University sponsored research and development that does not involve ADAC or
its affiliates, and that qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870
of the California Labor Code, which provides as follows:
"(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides
that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his
or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not
apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on
his or her own time without using the employer's equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for
those inventions that either:
(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to
practice of the invention to the employer's business or actual
or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the
employer; or
(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the
employer.
(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement
purports to require an employee to assign an invention
otherwise excluded from
-7-
being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the
provision is against the public policy of this state and is
unenforceable."
For purposes of this Agreement, "Inventions" means all products, designs,
specifications, trademarks, service marks, discoveries, formulae, processes,
manufacturing techniques, trade secrets, inventions, improvements and ideas,
whether or not patentable, and all copyrightable work prepared by me as an
employee or contractor, alone or jointly with others, within the scope of my
employment or engagement by ADAC or using any Confidential Information, which
shall be work made for hire owned by ADAC. Also included in the foregoing are
all rights to obtain, register, perfect and enforce these rights.
I agree to disclose in confidence all Inventions made by me to ADAC to permit a
determination as to whether or not such Inventions are covered by this
Agreement.
No rights are hereby conveyed in Inventions, if any, made by me prior to my
employment or engagement by ADAC which are identified in Appendix 1 hereto. I
agree to perform, during and after my employment or engagement, all acts deemed
necessary or desirable by ADAC to permit and assist it, at its expense, in
obtaining and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title
throughout the world in the Inventions assigned hereby. Such acts may include
execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings.
3. Upon termination of my employment or engagement, or upon earlier
request of ADAC, I will return or deliver to ADAC all property belonging to
ADAC and all tangible forms of Confidential Information in my possession or
control, including but not limited to drawings, specifications, documents,
records, devices, models or any other material and copies or reproductions
thereof. I will provide to ADAC, at its request, written certification that I
have returned all property and Confidential Information to ADAC and that I
will continue to honor my confidentiality obligations hereunder.
4. I represent and warrant that my performance of all of the terms of
this Agreement as an employee, intern or contractor of ADAC does not and will
not breach any agreement to keep in confidence the proprietary information,
knowledge or data of others acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to
my employment or engagement with ADAC, and I will not disclose to ADAC, or
induce ADAC to use, any confidential or proprietary information or material
belonging to any previous employer or any other person, and represent that I
do not have in my possession or control any such information or material. I
certify that I am not a party to any other agreement that would interfere
with my full compliance with this Agreement.
5. I acknowledge that this Agreement does not create an employment
agreement between me and ADAC. I understand and acknowledge that I am
employed for an unspecified term and that I have no right to continued
employment and that I am employed at-will. At-will employment means that
either ADAC or I can terminate the employment relationship with or without
cause and with or without notice at any time whatsoever. I further understand
and acknowledge that no employee, officer or representative of ADAC has the
authority to alter or modify my at-will status, unless the president of ADAC
makes such modification or alteration in writing with his signature.
6. This Agreement survives my employment or engagement by ADAC and
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of ADAC and shall be
binding upon my heirs, assigns, administrators and representatives.
7. In the event of any claim, suit or other legal proceeding arising
under or related to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the other party all of its attorneys' fees and costs. The
"prevailing party" means the party who obtains substantially the relief
sought by such party in such claim, suit or proceeding, whether by
settlement, summary judgment, judgment or otherwise.
-8-
8. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of law.
9. I agree not to enter into any written or oral agreement that
conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, and I acknowledge that any
breach by me of this Agreement may constitute grounds for serious
disciplinary action, up to and including termination of my employment or
engagement with ADAC.
10. Each party acknowledges that in the event of a breach of this
Agreement the damage to the nonbreaching party would be irreparable and
extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages
inadequate. Thus, in addition to any other right or remedy available to it, a
party shall be entitled to injunctive relief.
11. I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND THAT I UNDERSTAND AND WILL FULLY AND FAITHFULLY COMPLY WITH
SUCH PROVISIONS.

APPENDIX 1 TO
NONDISCLOSURE AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT
List of Inventions (if no Inventions, write "none"):
EXHIBIT G
-G-1-
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
This NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made and entered
into as of October 1, 1999, by and among ADAC Laboratories, a California
corporation ("ADAC"), and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx (the "SHAREHOLDER").
BACKGROUND
A. This Agreement is made in connection with and as contemplated by
that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 13, 1999 (the
"MERGER AGREEMENT"), by and among ADAC, UGMMS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation, UGM Medical Systems, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"COMPANY") and the shareholders of the Company listed on Schedule I thereto and
Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, Ph.D., pursuant to which ADAC is acquiring the Company.
B. ADAC and the Shareholder have agreed to enter into this Agreement to
protect the investment made by ADAC and/or its affiliate in acquiring the
Company.
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows (capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in
the Merger Agreement):
SECTION 1
NON-COMPETITION
1.1 The Shareholder, for a period of two (2) years from the Effective
Time of the Merger, shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on
behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person:
(a) engage, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner, partner,
member or joint venturer or in a managerial capacity, whether as an employee,
independent contractor, consultant or advisor, or as a sales representative,
in any business selling any products or services relating to the field of
nuclear medicine equipment and related software, including without
limitation, products or services relating to positron emission tomography
scanners;
(b) call upon any Person who is, at that time, an employee of the
Surviving Corporation, UGM Laboratory or ADAC for the purpose or with the
intent of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of Surviving
Corporation, UGM Laboratory or ADAC; or
(c) call upon any Person who or that is, at that time, or has
been, within one year prior to that time, a customer of the Company, UGM
Laboratory or ADAC for the purpose of soliciting or selling products or
services in direct competition with the Surviving Corporation, UGM Laboratory
or ADAC.
1.2 The foregoing covenants shall not be deemed to prohibit the
Shareholder from acquiring as an investment not more than one percent (1%) of
the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a
national securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a
registered securities association.
1.3 For purposes of this Section 1, references to "ADAC" shall mean
ADAC Laboratories, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates.
1.4 Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to ADAC as a
result of a breach of the foregoing covenant, and because of the immediate
and irreparable damage that could be caused to ADAC for which it would have
no other adequate remedy, the Shareholder agrees that the foregoing covenants
may be enforced by ADAC in the event of breach by the Shareholder by
injunctions and restraining orders.
1.5 The parties agree that the foregoing covenants in this Section 1
impose a reasonable restraint on the Shareholder.
1.6 The covenants in this Section 1 are severable and separate, and the
unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of
any other covenant. If any provision of this Section 1 relating to the time
period or geographic area of the restrictive covenants shall be declared by a
court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or
geographic area, as applicable, that such court deems reasonable and
enforceable, said time period or geographic area shall be deemed to be, and
thereafter shall become, the maximum time period or largest geographic area
that such court deems reasonable and enforceable and this Agreement shall
automatically be considered to have been amended and revised to reflect such
determination.
1.7 All of the covenants in this Section 1 shall be construed as an
agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the
existence of any claim or cause of action of the Shareholder against Sub,
Surviving Corporation or ADAC, whether predicated on this Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Sub,
Surviving Corporation or ADAC of such covenants.
1.8 The parties hereby agree that the covenants set forth in this
Section 1 are a material and substantial part of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, supported by adequate consideration.
SECTION 2

2.5 DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay
or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to ADAC upon any

of any such breach or default, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any

Assignor's consulting relationship with UGM if based on UGM confidential
information. "Intellectual Property" includes, without limitation, all (i)

applications therefor pending before any relevant authority worldwide,
including any additions, continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals,
reisssues, renewals or extensions based thereon; (ii) copyrights and other

UGM any and all right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual
Property, and UGM hereby accept such assignment.
3. WARRANTIES OF TITLE. Assignor warrants to Assignees that (i)
