A. INSURANCE RECOVERIES. The amounts for which an indemnifying
party shall be liable under Sections VIII.1. and VIII.2. of this Agreement shall
be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the indemnified party in
connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification.
B. NOTICE; THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. The indemnified party shall
promptly notify the indemnifying party in reasonable detail of any claim,
demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under
Section VIII.1. or Section VIII.2. of this Agreement, and if such claim, demand,
action or proceeding is a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the
indemnifying party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense
thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party. The
indemnified party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with
respect to any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding. In
connection with any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the
parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to
relevant books and records in their possession. No such third party claim,
demand, action or proceeding shall be settled without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party. If a firm written offer is made to settle any such
third party claim, demand, action or proceeding and the indemnifying party
proposes to accept such settlement and the indemnified party refuses to consent
to such settlement, then: (i) the indemnifying party shall be excused from, and
the indemnified party shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of
such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding; (ii) the maximum liability
of the indemnifying party relating to such third party claim, demand, action
28
30
or proceeding shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount
thereafter recovered from the indemnified party on such third party claim,
demand, action or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed
settlement; and (iii) the indemnified party shall pay all attorneys' fees and
legal costs and expenses incurred after rejection of such settlement by the
indemnified party, but if the amount thereafter recovered by such third party
from the indemnified party is less than the amount of the proposed settlement,
the indemnified party shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party for such
attorneys' fees and legal costs and expenses up to a maximum amount equal to the
difference between the amount recovered by such third party and the amount of
the proposed settlement.
C. EXCLUSIVITY. The rights of indemnity provided by this Article
VIII. of this Agreement shall be exclusive of all other rights of indemnity or
contribution, whether created by Law or otherwise, either before or after the

Agreement.
D. TERMINATION OF SELLER'S RIGHTS. The right of Seller to receive

31
(3) Buyer shall not be entitled to more than one recovery for

Agreement.
H. LIMITATIONS ON BUYER'S LIABILITY. The liability of Buyer

the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect at 11:59 P.M. Phoenix, Arizona
time on the first anniversary of the Effective Time of Closing (other than
representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections IV.7, and IV.14,
which shall terminate and be of no further force and effect at 11:59 P.M.
Phoenix, Arizona time on the second anniversary of the Effective Time of
Closing). The termination of the representations and warranties contained in the
immediately preceding sentence shall not affect a party's right to prosecute to
conclusion any claim made by such party prior to such time.
2. INSURANCE COVERAGE FOLLOWING THE CLOSING. In connection with
certain Retained Liabilities, Seller desires to obtain a claims made liability
insurance policy covering such Retained
30
32
Liabilities. Buyer and Seller agree that such insurance shall be obtained with
such companies and through such brokers offering the necessary coverage as
designated by Seller. Buyer and Seller agree that Seller shall pay the premiums
or otherwise provide for such insurance and that Buyer shall reimburse Seller,
promptly upon demand for reimbursement accompanied by proof of such insurance,
for 50% of the cost of such coverage; provided, however, that Buyer's
reimbursement obligation under this Section IX.2. shall in no event exceed
$50,000 and provided further that Buyer's agreement to reimburse Seller under
this Section IX.2. shall not affect Buyer's rights to indemnification by Seller
pursuant to Section VIII.1. hereof.
3. RIGHT TO USE NAME. Immediately following the Closing, DMTI, as the
sole shareholder of DHI, shall take all necessary corporate action and shall
file all required instruments to change the name of DHI to a name which does not
include any of the Intangible Assets to be transferred to Buyer hereunder. For
the period following the Closing and through the annual meeting of stockholders
of DMTI to be held in 1997 (the "1997 Annual Meeting"), Buyer grants DMTI the
right to use the name "Xxxxxxxxx Medical Technology, Inc." as its corporate
name, provided that DMTI shall do business under another name which does not
include any of the Intangible Assets to be transferred to Buyer hereunder. DMTI
agrees that in preparation for the 1997 Annual Meeting its Board of Directors
shall adopt a resolution to the corporation's certificate of incorporation to
change the name of the corporation to another name which does not include any of
the Intangible Assets to be transferred to Buyer hereunder. DMTI agrees that it
will include such resolution in the proxy statement to be furnished to
stockholders of DMTI in connection with the 1997 Annual Meeting and that the

DMTI to the stockholders of DMTI to vote in favor of the proposal to change the

position for income tax purposes which is inconsistent with this Agreement.

15. FURTHER ASSURANCES. From time to time after the Closing Date, upon
the reasonable request of Buyer and without any additional consideration other
than payment of any out-of-pocket expenses by Buyer, Seller shall execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such further instruments of
conveyance, assignment and transfer and take such further action as Buyer may
reasonably request in order to more effectively sell, assign, convey, transfer,
reduce to possession and record title to any of the Assets. Seller agrees to
cooperate with Buyer in all reasonable respects to assure to Buyer the continued
title to and possession of the Assets in
33

copies of the Assets and access to and the reasonable services of employees of

operation of the Business to enable Seller to prepare any tax returns and to
verify, pay or perform any Retained Liability, and Buyer shall cause its
employees to cooperate with Seller in the defense of any claim relating to any
Retained Liability.
