With respect to the Other Cooperation, the Executive shall be required to spend
no more than five (5) business days per month for such activities and services,
provided that such services shall not be required to be rendered by the
Executive to the Corporation after July 8, 2001. It being expressly understood

available to the Corporation at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice and
cooperates with the Corporation in good faith. The Corporation hereby agrees to
reimburse the Executive for reasonable business expenses incurred in connection
with the performance of the services relating to Litigation Cooperation and

accordance with the Corporation's standard practices to substantiate such
expenses.

Policy") until May 15, 2000. Thereafter, the Corporation shall cease making such
insurance premium payments under the Split Dollar Policy and cancel the Split
Dollar Policy. The Executive shall reimburse the Corporation for all premium
payments paid from the inception date of the Split Dollar Policy through May 15,
2000 (the "Total Premium Payments"), provided, however, if the cash surrender
value of the split dollar policy as of such date is less than the Total Premium

an amount equal to the cash surrender value plus fifty percent (50%) of the
deficiency.

a new note (the "New Note") to evidence the Executive's obligation to repay the
$500,000, interest free, on June 30, 1999. Simultaneously with the execution of

information, knowledge or data (collectively, "Confidential Information")
relating to the Corporation (and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) which
has been obtained by the Executive during or by reason of his employment with
the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for purposes hereof, the term "Confidential Information" shall

subsidiaries or affiliates, including, but not limited to, the relationship of
any client, customer or supplier with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries

which manufactures, distributes, or markets medical products in any domestic or
foreign jurisdiction in which the Corporation or a subsidiary or affiliate of
the Corporation engages in such activities. Nothing in this agreement is
intended, or shall be construed, to prevent the Executive during the term hereof
or thereafter from investing in the stock or other securities listed on a
national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market of any
corporation which is at the time a Competitor

provided that the Executive, together with his relatives and affiliates, shall

part or aspect thereof, shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be overly broad in scope, the court considering the same shall have the power
and hereby is authorized and directed to modify such term or provision to limit
such scope so that such term or provision is no longer overly broad and to
enforce the same as so limited.

make any oral or written statement concerning the other to any person, company
or agency which is disparaging or damaging to the personal or professional
reputation of the Executive, on the one hand, or the Corporation and/or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates (and their respective directors and officers), on
the other, provided that the foregoing will not restrict any statement or
revelation required by applicable law, regulation or judicial process (after
advising and consulting with the other party about its intention to make, and
the proposed content of such disclosure).
8.2 The Corporation will give the Executive a reasonable
opportunity to review any press release or public filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission which announces the Executive's termination of employment
with the Corporation, and the Corporation will consider in good faith any
reasonable comments provided by the Executive on a timely basis with respect to
such press release or filing.
