2.1 Settlement of the California Litigation

(a) Hologic covenants that it shall cease, directly or indirectly, making, having made, offering for sale, selling, having sold, using, licensing, importing, promoting, distributing and otherwise disposing of the Adiana Product and shall cease all activities related to the Adiana Business in all jurisdictions, except for the actions winding up the Adiana Business which Hologic shall undertake as listed and according to the schedule set forth on Schedule B attached hereto; provided, however, that Hologic may continue to perform the regulatory actions required by applicable law that are related to the Adiana Product, as set forth on Schedule E.

(b) The Parties shall file (i) with the Federal Circuit, on or before the Effective Date, a joint motion to remand the Federal Circuit Appeal of the California Litigation to the Northern District of California in accordance with the form attached hereto as Schedule D, and subsequently (ii) with the Northern District of California, within five (5) business days of the Federal Circuit’s grant of the motion referenced in clause (i) of this sentence, a joint motion for entry of a consent judgment permanently enjoining Hologic from making, having made, using, offering for sale, selling, having sold, licensing, importing, promoting, distributing or otherwise disposing of the Adiana Product, except to the extent any of the foregoing is necessary to perform an action required or permitted of Hologic as set forth respectively on Schedule B and Schedule E, in accordance with the form attached hereto as Schedule D.

(c) If the Northern District of California denies the motion for entry of a consent judgment as requested by the Parties in clause (ii) of Section 2.1(b), then Conceptus agrees to refrain from executing on the Adiana Judgment and shall not seek the damages awarded thereunder for so long as Hologic adheres to all of its obligations under Sections 2.1(a) and 8.2 and all of its representations and warranties under Section 5.2 and it remains in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Further, in the event that Hologic breaches any obligations under either of Sections 2.1(a) or 8.2, or any of its representations and warranties under Section 5.2, Conceptus shall be entitled to seek relief for any damages accruing subsequent to July 1, 2011, including but not limited to damages based on a claim for Patent infringement, notwithstanding the Conceptus Release.

CONFIDENTIAL

SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL RULE OF EVIDENCE 408

2.3 No Admission; Denial of Liability

The Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the execution of this Agreement, the granting of the Releases and the License, or the exchange of any other consideration pursuant to this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied admission of misconduct, responsibility, or any liability whatsoever on the part of the Parties or of anyone else, and the Parties expressly and specifically deny all such admissions. Rather, it is acknowledged and agreed that this Agreement has been entered into solely for the purpose of settling and compromising All Litigation, to avoid the expense and uncertainty of continued litigation, and to give effect to Hologic’s decision to wind-down the Adiana Business.

2.4 Final Settlement

Subject to Section 2.1(c), the Parties agree that this Agreement is a full, final and complete settlement of all Claims released herein.

2.5 Fees, Costs and Expenses

The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party shall each bear its own attorney’s fees, court costs, expenses, and any other related costs and expenses that it has incurred in connection with All Litigation and this Agreement.

III. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

3.1 Liquidated Damages

Conceptus’s remedy for Hologic’s breach of any of its obligations in either of Sections 2.1(a) or 8.2, or any of its representations and warranties under Section 5.2, for prior damages accruing through June 30, 2011, shall be liquidated damages in the amount of $18.8 million specified in the Adiana Judgment, which liquidated damages shall be available to Conceptus if Hologic does not cure any such applicable breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice from Conceptus identifying the breach. The Parties agree that the harm caused to Conceptus from Hologic’s breach of any of its obligations in either of Sections 2.1(a) or 8.2, or any of its representations and warranties under Section 5.2, would be difficult to quantify and determine, and accordingly the Parties agree in advance to the application and assessment of the aforementioned liquidated damages as an approximation of the damage suffered by Conceptus through June 30, 2011. Further, in the event that Hologic breaches any of its obligations under either of Sections 2.1(a) or 8.2, or any of its representations and warranties under Section 5.2, Conceptus may pursue relief for any damages accruing subsequent to July 1, 2011, including but not limited to damages based on a claim for Patent infringement, notwithstanding the Conceptus Release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Northern District of California grants the motion for entry of a consent judgment as requested by the Parties in clause (ii) of Section 2.1(b), the liquidated damages remedy set forth in this Section 3.1 shall only be available to Conceptus for Hologic’s breach of any of its obligations under Section 8.2 or any of its representations and warranties under Section 5.2.

IV. RELEASES; LICENSE

4.1 Releases

(a) Subject to Hologic’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Conceptus, for itself and for its Affiliates, and its and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably settle, release, and forever discharge any and all Claims that have been or could have been brought by Conceptus or any of its Affiliates against Hologic, its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders or attorneys, in All Litigation, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the California Litigation.

(b) Hologic, for itself and for its Affiliates, and its and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably settle, release, and forever discharge any and all Claims that have been or could have been brought by Hologic or any of its Affiliates against Conceptus, its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders or attorneys, in All Litigation, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Massachusetts Litigation.

4.2 License; Royalties

(a) Hologic hereby grants, and shall cause any Hologic Affiliate that owns or has the right to license any Hologic Patent to hereby grant, to Conceptus, Conceptus Affiliates, Conceptus Contractors and Conceptus Customers an irrevocable, world-wide, royalty-bearing, nonsublicenseable, non-transferable (except in accordance with Section 8.2) and non-exclusive license under the Hologic Patents in the PBC Field: (i) to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, practice, lease, keep, import, have imported, export, have exported, distribute (including through multiple channels of distribution), commercially exploit or otherwise dispose of Conceptus Products and Services; and (ii) to practice any method or process claimed in the Hologic Patents for purposes of effectuating the license granted in clause (i) of this Section 4.2(a).

(b) For each Royalty-Bearing Product Sold by or on behalf of Conceptus in the United States after the Effective Date and until the earlier of the expiration of the last-to-expire of the Hologic Patents or the termination by Conceptus of the License as set forth in Article VII, Conceptus shall pay to Hologic an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the actual selling price (i.e. revenue received per unit sold) of such Royalty-Bearing Product (each such per unit amount a “Royalty” and collectively, the “Royalties”).

(c) Conceptus shall pay all Royalties owed to Hologic for Royalty-Bearing Products Sold by or on behalf of Conceptus in each calendar quarter within forty-five (45) days following the end of such calendar quarter. All Royalties shall be paid by Conceptus in U.S. dollars. A Royalty-Bearing Product is “Sold by or on behalf of Conceptus” under this Agreement upon first transfer pursuant to the license granted in Section 4.2(a). Internal sales to Conceptus Affiliates (e.g. for transfer pricing) do not qualify as being Sold by or on behalf of Conceptus hereunder. A Conceptus Product and Service that is distributed for internal research purposes within Conceptus, or that is made available for clinical or preclinical research or trials, is not a Royalty-Bearing Product and is not considered Sold by or on behalf of Conceptus, even if such product otherwise satisfies the definition of a Royalty-Bearing Product under this Agreement.

SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL RULE OF EVIDENCE 408

(d) Following the termination or expiration of this Agreement or the License as set forth in Article VII, Hologic retains the right to collect from Conceptus any Royalties earned but not paid prior to such termination or expiration.

(e) During the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year following its termination or expiration, Conceptus shall maintain the records necessary to determine the accuracy of its payment of Royalties. Hologic shall have the right, not exercisable more than once per year, at Hologic’s sole expense, to appoint an independent, Third Party auditor, subject to Conceptus’s reasonable approval, who shall be given access by Conceptus to those records which are reasonably required in the judgment of the auditor to determine the accuracy of Conceptus’s payment of Royalties. Any audits required hereunder shall be conducted at a time reasonably convenient to Conceptus, and in a manner that does not interfere with Conceptus’s business and operations. Any books and records provided to the auditor hereunder shall be maintained in confidence by such auditor and shall not, nor shall any summaries or notes thereof, be disclosed to Hologic, to any Hologic Affiliate, or to any Third Party.

Adiana shall indemnify SMT from any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action against SMT for the death or bodily injury incurred by or rendered against SMT arising from the testing or use of an Licensed Product by Adiana, provided that SMT shall give notice as soon as practical of any claims, demands, actions and causes of action against SMT for which Adiana may be obliged to indemnity SMT and that Adiana shall have the right to participate in any compromise, settlement and defense thereof. This indemnification obligation shall include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any and all such claims, demands, actions, or causes of action, and shall extend to the trustees, officers, employees, and agents of SMT.

13. TERM AND TERMINATION

a) Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement, the License shall terminate upon the expiration of the last expiring patent of the Licensed Patents.

b) Adiana shall submit an application for marketing approval to FDA for a Licensed Product within five (5) years of the date of this Agreement. If Adiana has failed to do so within the specified period, SMT may, in its sole discretion, terminate the License.

c) Adiana may terminate the License at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination to SMT.

d) If Adiana shall commit any material breach of its obligations under this Agreement including non-payment of royalties and Adiana fails to remedy such breach within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice SMT may, at SMT’s option, terminate the License by delivery of written notice of such termination to Adiana.

e) Following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Adiana and its sublicensees shall be entitled to continue sales of Licensed Products previously produced by or for Adiana and its sublicensees under this Agreement until existing inventory is sold or for a period of six months, whichever occurs first. All such continued sales shall carry an obligation that Adiana and its sublicensees shall owe and pay royalties, including minimum royalties, provide quarterly statements under Section 4, and comply with the other obligations Adiana has accepted under this Agreement.

f) The confidentiality provisions of Section 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

14. INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS                

a) Notice of Third Party Infringement. SMT shall give prompt written notice to Adiana if, during the term of the License, SMT becomes aware of any good made, used, sold offered for sale or imported into any country by another, not party to this Agreement, which infringes, or the use of which infringes, or possibly infringes the Licensed Patents.

b) Infringement of Third Party Patents. In the event that Adiana becomes aware that the sale of a Licensed Product would, in the reasonable opinion of Adiana’s patent counsel (a copy of which will be provided to SMT), infringe a valid patent right of a third party (excluding any Affiliate of Adiana), Adiana will first use reasonable efforts to redesign such Licensed Product to avoid such infringement. If such redesign is impossible or unreasonable, and if the third party patent is not otherwise able to be avoided by having applicable claims found invalid or unenforceable and, in order to offer such Licensed Product in commerce, Adiana is required to pay royalties to such third party (“Other Royalties”), the royalties payable by Adiana pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement may be reduced by up to fifty percent (50%) to offset payments by Adiana of Other Royalties, but in no event will the royalties payable by Adiana to SMT be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the royalties otherwise due to SMT for such Licensed Product.

c) Right to Defend. SMT shall give prompt written notice to Adiana if, during the term of the License, SMT becomes aware of any claim that any Licensed Product infringes a valid patent of a third party, by reason of practicing one or more claims of a Licensed Patent. Adiana shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any suit brought by a third party for patent infringement, to bring a declaratory judgment action or reach an agreement, at its expense, to defend against any claim of infringement; provided however, that SMT shall be fully apprised of all aspects of Adiana’s defense if Adiana wishes to

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY HOL-CON 0113728

8

assert any right to decreased royalties to SMT in the event of an adverse judgment coupled with Adiana taking a license from the third party in order to continue to practice the features of the claims of the Licensed Patents involved in the infringement claim. If required by law and paid for by Adiana, Adiana may cause SMT to be joined as a party Plaintiff in such action, and SMT agrees to be so joined. In connection with any such suit, employees of SMT and any affiliates shall execute all papers necessary or desirable, to effect formal requirements and shall testify, provide statements, or produce documents, whenever reasonably requested so to do by Adiana, although Adiana shall reimburse SMT for all expenses related to activities requested by Adiana. Except for reimbursement of SMT’s direct expenses related to the suit, Adiana may retain any monies recovered in such action or in its settlement without payment or reimbursement to SMT. SMT shall have the right to appear on its own behalf in any such suit, at its own expense.

15. MISCELLANEOUS

a) Marking. Adiana agrees to affix or cause to be affixed proper statutory patent notices and markings to each Licensed Product made, used or sold, offered for sale or imported by or for Adiana.

b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements, representations and understandings of the parties, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

c) Further Actions. Each party agrees that after the delivery of this Agreement it will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

d) Amendments. No supplement or amendment of this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by both the parties.

e) Waiver. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party entitled to its benefit by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of the party. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed, or will constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor will any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. The failure of any party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement, or any right with respect thereto, or to exercise any election herein provided, shall in no way be considered to be a waiver of such provision, right or election, or to in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The exercise by any party of any right or election under the terms or covenants herein shall not preclude or prejudice any party from exercising the same or any other right it may have under this Agreement, irrespective of any previous action or proceeding taken by the parties hereunder.

f) Successors, Assigns and Sublicenses. This Agreement will be binding on, and will inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Adiana may not assign the entire License without SMT’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that Adiana may make such an assignment by operation of law to any corporation with which it merges, to its Affiliate, to a purchaser of substantially all of its assets or to a successor to its business interest relating to the Licensed Patents. Subject to Section 2(c) and provided that Adiana shall continue to be bound by its royalty and other obligations under this Agreement, Adiana shall be entitled to sublicense its rights under the License to third parties, and to use independent contractors in the development, production and marketing of the Licensed Products. SMT agrees that his obligations under this Agreement will extend and be binding upon any party which acquires the Licensed Patents or his related business or assets.

g) Attorneys’ Fees. If any arbitration, legal action or other proceeding is brought in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that arbitration, action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which that party-may be entitled.

h) Governing Law. All questions with respect to the construction of this Agreement, and the rights and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement, will be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflicts of laws provisions. Venue for any non-arbitrable dispute or any relief not permitted in arbitration for disputes arising under this contract shall be in United States District Court for the District of Northern California or appropriate courts of the State of California, County of San Mateo.

i) Arbitration. Any dispute arising between the parties relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or any term or condition hereof, the performance by either party of its obligations hereunder, whether before or after termination of this Agreement, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration. Whenever a party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give notice to that effect to the other parties. The party giving such notice shall refrain from instituting the arbitration proceeding for a period of sixty (60) days following such notice. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in San Mateo County, California, under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator with the authority to grant specific performance, and to allocate between the parties the fees and expenses in such equitable manner as they determine. Any monetary award shall bear interest at a rate fixed by the arbitrators from the date the arbitration proceeding is commenced to the date on which the award is paid in full. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed a valid, original agreement, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

k) Severance. If any provision of this Agreement or its application to any person or circumstances is held to be unenforceable or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, its other applications and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced so as to best effect the intentions of the parties in entering into this Agreement.

l) Captions. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The references to sections refer to corresponding sections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx

JOINT MOTION TO ENTER INJUNCTION AND SET ASIDE AWARD OF DAMAGES, POST-JUDGMENT

INTEREST AND COSTS

CASE NO. 3:09-CV-2280-WHA

Conceptus, Inc. (“Conceptus”) and Hologic, Inc. (“Hologic”), by their attorneys, advise the Court that they have settled their disputes in this action and in the related appeal, Conceptus, Inc. v. Hologic, Inc., Case Nos. 2012-1209, -1219 (Fed. Cir.).

As part of the settlement, Hologic has advised Conceptus that the commercial performance and profitability of the Adiana system have fallen short of Hologic’s expectations, and Hologic therefore consents to entry of a permanent injunction against it, barring it from directly or indirectly making, having made, offering for sale, selling, having sold, licensing, or otherwise disposing of the Adiana system (or any products which are no more than colorably different from the Adiana system) in the United States, or importing the Adiana system (or any products which are no more than colorably different from the Adiana system) into the United States, until expiration of U.S. Patent No. 6,634,361. The parties have further agreed that they shall jointly move to set aside the award of damages and post-judgment interest awarded in the Amended Judgment against Hologic (Dkt. No. 536 (in the amount of $18,807,241.00 with post-judgment interest at the federal treasury rate from the date of the original judgment, October 18, 2011 to the date of satisfaction of the judgment)) and taxation of costs against Hologic (Dkt. No. 538 (in the amount of $149,521.18)). The parties further agree that the non-monetary aspects of the Amended Judgment, including the referenced October 17, 2011 jury verdict on the issues of infringement and validity, remains in force. The parties further agree that, subject to the conditions set forth in the parties’ License and Settlement Agreement, Conceptus waives any right to pursue payment from Hologic as to the amounts set forth in these Orders. Conceptus also waives any right to pursue its claims – either in this action or by filing a supplemental complaint – for pre-judgment interest, supplemental pre-judgment damages, or supplemental post-judgment damages (Dkt. 532 (denying same)).

Accordingly, the parties request that the Court grant the requested relief, and enter an order enjoining Hologic from directly or indirectly making, having made, offering for sale, selling, having sold, licensing, importing or otherwise disposing of the Adiana system (or any products which are no more than colorably different from the Adiana system) in the United States and vacating the award of damages, post-judgment interest, and costs against Hologic. For the Court’s convenience, a proposed order is attached.

The Court, having considered the parties’ Joint Motion to Enter Injunction And Set Aside Award of Damages, Post-Judgment Interest and Costs, and having been advised by the parties that they have settled their patent infringement dispute, hereby GRANTS the motion:

2) The damages and post-judgment interest awarded by the Amended Judgment against Hologic, Dkt. No. 536, is set aside. The remainder of the Amended Judgment, including the referenced October 17, 2011 jury verdict on the issues of infringement and validity, remains in force.

JOINT MOTION TO REOPEN CASE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENTERING A

STIPULATED DISMISSAL AND FOR DISMISSAL OF CLAIMS WITH PREJUDICE

Hologic, Inc. (“Hologic”) and Conceptus, Inc. (“Conceptus”), by their attorneys, respectfully move the Court to reopen this case to enter a stipulated dismissal of Hologic’s claims against Conceptus.

On June 9, 2011, Conceptus filed a motion to stay this action pending resolution of a patent infringement case that was then-pending between the parties, Case No. 09-cv-2280 (N.D. Cal.). (Dkt. 41.) The Court granted Conceptus’ motion (Dkt. Entry dated Jul. 5, 2011) and entered an Order of Administrative Stay/Closing on July 7, 2011 “without prejudice to the right of any party to restore it to the active docket.” (Dkt. 44; see also Dkt. Entry dated Aug. 19, 2011 (case closed, “to be reopened pending the resolution of the patent infringement action”).) Hologic and Conceptus have now settled their disputes in the California patent infringement action and a related appeal to the United States Court of Appeals to the Federal Circuit, Case Nos. 2012-1209, -1219. The settlement agreement provides that they will jointly move to reopen this action in order to file a stipulated dismissal. A copy of the stipulation with a proposed order is attached hereto.

Accordingly, the parties respectfully requests that the Court grant their motion to reopen Case No. 10-11355, and order that this action is dismissed with prejudice.
