Gentlemen:
This letter. when countersiqned by you, will constitute an Agreement
between Marquette Electronics, Inc. ("Marquette") and MediQual Systems, Inc.
("MediQual") with respect to MediQual's development of two software programs or
sets of software programs, each to serve as a medical outcomes analysis system
for use in the cardiology and obstetrics fields (each referred to as "System").
Following development of the Systems, Marquette, directly and/or through its
subsidiaries, will distribute and sublicense the Systems to hospitals and other
medical providers, subject to the terms hereinafter set forth.
The following sets forth the terms of our Agreement:

software application on Marquette's MUSE Cardiology Management System; and (b)
one, for an Obstetrics-specific System ("QS-OB Atlas") which will operate as an
integrated software application on the QMI Quantitative Sentinel Clinical
Information System. Each System will be developed in two phases. The first phase
will consist of the delivery by MediQual to Marquette of both Systems for
* and, following acceptance of each System and subject to
any * that Marquette may give to MediQual, the second phase will
consist of the delivery of * Systems in the form and
functionally as specified in the Product Description and Specifications document
(Exhibit "A"' attached to this letter. MediQual shall use its * to

.
2. Marquette's Exclusive Rights. MediQual hereby grants to Marquette an
exclusive and perpetual right and license to use and duplicate the Systems, or
either of them, and to sublicense third party sublicensees to use the Systems
and the documentation in the conduct of medical outcomes analysis.

Systems to be * and in form and packaginq sufficient for
commercial sale, whichever first occurs. MediQual shall * of
the development.
4. Sublicenses. After delivery to Marquette of versions of each System
which Marquette reasonably determines is commercially saleable, Marquette will
offer to sublicense the Systems to third party sublicensees, each of which
sublicenses will require the payment of license fees to Marquette as set out in
the "Marquette Outcomes Software Pricing" document (Exhibit "B") attached
hereto, as the same may be revised by Marquette from time to time. While this
Agreement remains in effect, MediQual shall provide to Marquette such number of
copies of each System and documentation to accompany each System as Marquette
may request from time to time to fulfill sublicensees' orders and an additional
number of copies of each System as Marquette may reasonably wish to stock for
future distribution.
5. Payments to MediQual. Sublicensee orders for sublicenses of each of the
Systems will be solicited, booked and invoiced by Marquette. Marquette agrees to
pay to MediQual, * following the date of invoice to the
sublicensee, * of the license fees billed by Marquette during such
* , provided, however, if any *
payment of any license fee to Marquette by reason of *
of the System, Marquette may * payment to MediQual
* , whichever shall
first occur.
6. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect indefinitely, subject to Marquette's right of termination by delivery of
not less than ninety days prior written notice to MediQual, provided that such
termination shall not be effective until MediQual has received from Marquette,
pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, payments aggregating * .
Neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other
following Marquette's termination of this Agreement, except that (a) Marquette
shall continue to have the rights granted under Sections 2 and 4, but such
rights shall no longer be exclusive; and (b) Marquette shall continue to be
obligated to pay MediQual one-half of the license fees received from
sublicensees; and (c) MediQual shall be obligated to provide software support to

provide Marquette trainers and specialists with in-depth training on selling,
installation, set-up, customer in-service, troubleshooting and support with

the responsibility of training customers in the use of the Systems.
8. Sublicenses. Each sublicense of a System shall include a non-exclusive
annually renewable license for the sublicensee to use the System at its
facility. Any software updates will be provided to the sublicensee by MediQual
in consideration of the annual sublicense fees payable by the sublicensee.
System updates and enhancements will include application software corrective

major software deficiencies or "bugs", such updates and enhancements will be
priced accordingly and offered for sub-license by Marquette pursuant to this
Agreement as extensions of the standard product.
9. Documentation. MediQual standard sublicensee documentation will be
provided to Marquette and each sublicensee of Marquette. Both parties will work
together to create proper documentation of non-standard MediQual software
applications as appropriate.
10. Warranties.

either System that fails to meet specifications during the term of each
sublicense.
(b) MediQual represents and warrants to Marquette that (i) MediQual is
and will be the sole and exclusive owner of the Systems; and (ii) neither the
System, the documentation, nor the use thereof by Marquette or any sublicensee

awards, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, costs and expenses (including

action brought against any of them based on any allegation that any part of the
System, or documentation infringes upon or violates any patent, copyright, trade
secret or other proprietary right of any third party which is enforceable in the
United States.

of any third party which is enforceable in the United States.
13. Software Escrow. MediQual agrees, within ten days following the
receipt by Marquette of its first order for either System, to deposit, in
escrow, the source code and related documentation covering each of the Systems

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
MediQual/QS Obstetrics General Specifications
The QS will contain a number of precisely defined data items/measurements of the
physiology of the patient(s), along with demographic and process data. From
these data a number of calculations, indices or scores will be computed based on
a patient's physiology, age, and condition. The score is then integrated into a
series of predictive equations, which combine the score, the patients diagnosis,
admission source, surgical status, time of labor, etc. The predictive equations
provide probability estimates, on a daily basis, for various outcomes including
hospital length of stay, hospital death, and the use of various resources.
This application:
1. The daily scores and predictions for individual patients provides
clinical decision support to physicians and nurses in L&D. The equations
integrate the results of the most significant clinical values into a
single value which shows their adjusted impact on expected outcomes.
2. Aggregated scores and predictions from consecutive admissions, combined
with the observed outcomes for each patient over time, are powerful
outcomes analysis and process improvement tools. These data can be
combined among institutions for further comparisons and analysis.
The OB development will be fully integrated into the QS system, receiving
downloads from the QS to populate the Atlas database. The database schema for OB
analysis will require further definition.
Development will include approximately *
* would replicate
QMl's birth log reporting, and the balance would report on other areas of
interest. The MQ analyses would cover: 1. Delivery statistics 2. C-Section and
VBAC's 3. Complications perhaps combined with 2 above.
Development would also include an OB comparative database, built from MediQual's
master database, which would be fully integrated into the application. The
product would have full reference reports describing the QMI codes and other
internal documentation including on-line help.
These general goals will have to be defined more clearly in a detailed
specification which will follow.
