ARTICLE I - DEFINITIONS AND PRIORITY
A. The following words and phrases shall have the meanings set forth below:
1. Contract: This Contract between TRW and TMI includes Appendix A
-Statement of Work, attached hereto and made a part hereof, as may be
modified or supplemented from time to time by agreement by the parties, any
TMI Work Priorities ("TWP"), and similar schedules, work plans, or documents
if approved by both parties from time to time for performing the projects.
2. Estimated Cost: The amount within which it is agreed that the
Statement of Work or any TWP is likely to be accomplished.
3. Fixed Fee: A compensation method which might be approved by the
parties from time to time for a portion of the Statement of Work by which
Seller would be paid an agreed dollar amount for full satisfaction regardless
of the Cost incurred, or Seller may be reimbursed for any Costs incurred
allocable to the appropriate job and paid as agreed amount in addition to
Costs for full satisfaction, for any specific statement of work or TWP for
which the parties agree in advance to be compensated on this basis.
4. Delivery Dates: The dates agreed in the Statement of Work for the
services to be performed at the Site.
5. Services: The services described in the Statement of Work or any
TWP to be provided by TRW.
6. Site: The facility or other location identified in the Statement
of Work as the destination to which transportation is to be arranged for
deliverable items, and at which services are to be performed.
7. Costs: The actual cost incurred by Seller to perform the work
under this Contract, including the cost of equipment provided and expenses
incurred plus the same burden rates for such costs as TRW charges on
government contracts.
8. Fee: The amount calculated as a percentage of Cost shall be
referred to as the "Fee." The compensation Seller is expected to be paid for
the work under this Contract is Cost reimbursement plus the Fee,
2
although a Fixed Fee may be subsequently agreed for some work to be subsequently
identified according to a statement of work or TWP.
B. In case of any ambiguous inconsistencies between this Contract and the
Statement of Work or subsequent TWP's or similar work orders, the text of
this Contract shall prevail.
C. This Contract definitizes and applies to work performed pursuant to the
Advanced Authorization to Proceed contained in TMI telefax dated March 26,
1996.
ARTICLE II - LIMITS OF AGREEMENT
The terms and conditions set forth herein constitute the complete and
exclusive statement of all of the terms of the agreement between TRW and TMI
with respect to this Contract, unless different or additional terms and
conditions are hereafter agreed in writing and made a part hereof by Contract
amendment. All prior representations and agreements of the parties are
merged herein and no agent, employee or representative of Seller has the
authority to bind Seller to any other affirmation, representation, promise or
warranty concerning the software or services furnished by Seller, and such
are not enforceable by Buyer unless contained herein. This Contract shall
not be varied, supplemented, qualified, or interpreted by any prior course of
dealing between the parties or by any usage of trade.
ARTICLE III - SCOPE OF WORK
Seller, as an independent Contractor and not as an agent of Buyer,
shall, in conformance with the terms and conditions more particularly set
forth herein, provide the necessary personnel, equipment, and materials and
do all things necessary or incidental to furnish and deliver to the Buyer all
requirements set forth in Appendix A - STATEMENT OF WORK, dated 20 May 1996,
as revised or amended from time to time.
ARTICLE IV - PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERY SCHEDULE
The period of performance shall be from the effective date hereof until
approximate 10,000 cases have been collected and analyzed (estimated to be
eight (8) to fourteen (14) months), excluding the clinical implementation
phase referenced in the Statement of Work. The Seller shall provide the
ARTICLE XXIV. (A) materials, perform the services, and complete the data
collection and analyses required by ARTICLE III- SCOPE OF WORK within the
period of performance. Seller shall request clarifications or instructions
from Buyer if the Statement of Work or instructions from Buyer are not clear
or are ambiguous as the project progresses.
ARTICLE V - INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
A. Final inspection and acceptance of services shall be made at the sites
designated by Buyer. All services covered by this Contract will be subject

and places prior to acceptance. Any such inspection and test shall be
performed in such manner as to not delay or otherwise interfere with Seller's
performance hereunder.
B. Buyer shall promptly inspect and test the software or services within 5
days of being notified by Seller of their being tendered for test or
inspection, and shall, within ten (10) days after such test or inspection,
give written notice to Seller of any claim that the goods or services do not
conform with the terms of this Contract. If Buyer fails to inspect and test
the goods or services called for above, Buyer will be held to have accepted
the goods or services with all defects that inspection and testing would have
revealed, subject to Seller's obligations under ARTICLE XI, and to have
waived all rights Buyer may have had to revoke acceptance after said ten (10)
day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may notify Seller of a
reasonable delay and toll the inspection period.
ARTICLE VI - ESTIMATED COST AND FIXED FEE

The first invoices, however, will not be submitted before June 30, 1996.
Seller preserves the right at any time to suspend credit or to change credit
terms provided herein, when the financial condition of Buyer reasonably so
warrants. In such case, in addition to any other remedies herein or by law
provided, cash payment or satisfactory security from Buyer may be required by
Seller before shipment, or the due date of payment by Buyer under any
Contract or order with Seller may be accelerated by Seller. Failure to pay
invoices at maturity date makes all subsequent invoices immediately due and
payable, irrespective of terms, and Seller may terminate work and/or withhold
all subsequent deliveries until the full account is settled.
ARTICLE X - PACKAGING AND DELIVERY
Packaging and packing of all items for delivery shall be in accordance
with good commercial practice and adequate to assure safe arrival at
destination. The delivery point of all items to be delivered by Seller

ARTICLE XI - WARRANTY
A. Software
For six (6) months commencing upon the date software installation is
accepted by Buyer at the designated site, TRW warrants that the software
modified or developed by TRW, excluding defects existing at the time of
delivery to TRW in the coding of the software originating from any third
party, shall substantially conform to professional quality, standard industry
practices, the TRW Software Guidelines, and the purpose and requirements set
forth in Appendix A - STATEMENT OF WORK and any implementing TWP or other
document referencing the software description. If any of the TRW modified or
developed software fails to comply with the warranty set forth in this
paragraph, TRW shall make a reasonable effort to correct the program errors
either (a) without increase to the Fixed Fee or Cost of the Contract or (b)
without increase to the Fee but with reimbursement of Costs, if Buyer's
instructions were ambiguous and unclear and Seller's action was reasonable.
Any corrected software will be warranted for the remainder of the original
warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this ARTICLE XI, TRW does not warrant that software
provided hereunder is free of all errors or omissions. Further, TRW does not
warrant that the functions contained in the delivered software will meet
Licensee's requirements or will
4
operate in combinations other than as specified by TRW, or that the operation
of the software will be uninterrupted or error free or that all program
defects can be corrected. Seller will transfer to Buyer the benefit of any
third party warranties to the extent allowable by the third parties.
B. Services
1. All services performed by TRW will be of professional quality and
conform to standard industry practices and be in accordance with the
Statement of Work and any TWP or other document specifying the particular
purpose of the services approved by the parties. Any services which are
actually defective will be re-performed with reasonable promptness, after
written notification is received, and if said notice is made promptly after
discovery of such defect, and in no event later than six (6) months from the
date of acceptance thereof. In such event, to perform any such re-work or
transportation caused thereby, either (a) no additional Fee or duplicated
Cost shall be allowed, or (b) only Costs shall be reimbursed if Buyer's
instructions were ambiguous and Seller reasonably provided the services. If
services are to be performed pursuant to a software warranty, the software
warranty standard and conditions apply. Buyer shall notify Seller in
writing of any defect, furnish relevant information with respect thereto.
2. In instances when re-performance of a defective service is
impractical, and at TRW's sole discretion, an equitable adjustment of the
earned Fee and Costs of the affected item may be offered in lieu of
re-performing the service.

To the extent that Seller's or Buyer's agents, employees or
subcontractors enter upon premises occupied by or under the control of the
other party in the course of the performance of this Contract, the parties
shall take all necessary precautions to prevent the occurrence of any injury
(including death) to any persons, or of any damage to any property arising
out of acts or omissions of such agents, employees or subcontractors, and
except to the extent that any such injury or damage is due solely and
directly to the other party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall

ARTICLE XVII - ASSIGNMENT
A. Neither party shall, without the consent in writing of the other party
assign or transfer this Contract or the benefits or obligations thereof or
any part thereof to any other person other than a subsidiary wholly owned by

adhere to deadlines for a prompt resolution.

price, or other provision of the Contract unless issued or confirmed in
writing by the Buyer's named Contract Manager. Buyer's Contract Manager
shall codify into the Contract out of scope or over and above activities
required by the Buyer's Program or Technical Representatives. The Seller
shall immediately notify, in writing, the Buyers Contract Manager whenever a
change request has been received from a representative of Buyer other than
the Contract Manager which would affect the terms and conditions, estimated
cost, fixed fee, Statement of Work or Schedules of this Contract.
C. Only TRW's designated Contract Manager or a more senior contracting
