---------------------------------------
forever discharges the Debenture held by him and agrees to surrender the

3. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Holder is at least 21 years of age.
(b) Holder has completely and accurately completed the Preferred
Stockholder Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit G the responses of which

the Company of any material changes occurring thereto prior to consummation of
this exchange transaction.
(c) The Holder understands that the Shares are being issued and that the
availability of the exemption or exemptions from registration and qualification
under the Securities Act of 1933 and the state laws depends in part upon the
accuracy of certain of the representations, declarations and warranties
contained herein, and those which are made in the Questionnaire executed by the
undersigned with the intent that the same may be relied upon by the Company in
determining the undersigned's suitability as an investor in the Company. The
Holder further acknowledges that this

with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof. The undersigned has
no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or pledge to such person or anyone else the Shares or any portion
thereof or interest therein, and the undersigned has no present plans to enter
into such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement. The undersigned is

person.
(f) The Holder acknowledges and consents that the certificate evidencing the
Shares, and any and all replacements thereof, shall bear and be subject to

Shares and that the Company will place appropriate stop transfer orders with its
transfer agent:
"The shares of common stock evidenced by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and have been issued in
reliance upon one or more exemptions from the requirements for such registration
including an exemption for non-public offerings. Accordingly, the sale,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the shares evidenced
hereby or any portion thereof or interest therein may not be accomplished in the
absence of an effective registration statement under that act, or an opinion of
counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to the effect that
such a registration is not required."
(g) The Holder further understands and agrees that if he desires to make any
transfer of the Shares the Company is in a position to impede such transfer
through prior stop orders placed with its transfer agent or otherwise and that
the Company will promptly remove such impediments placed by it only when:
(i) The Company has received a satisfactory opinion of counsel to the effect
that the proposed transfer does not
15
require registration or qualification pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933 or any applicable state laws of the United States of America, by
reason of an exemption provided thereunder and a representation and
agreement of the proposed transferee in form and substance satisfactory to
the Company, and the Company shall have advised the undersigned that such
opinion, representation and agreement are satisfactory to the Company; or
(ii) The Company has received a satisfactory opinion of counsel to the effect
that the proposed transfer complies with the provisions of Rule 144
(including a two year holding period from the date of acquisition of the
Preferred Shares by Holder) and the Company shall have advised the
undersigned that such counsel and such opinion are satisfactory to the
Company; or
(iii) A Registration statement covering the proposed transfer has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has been declared effective.
The Holder agrees that, in any event, the undersigned will not attempt to
dispose of the Shares or any portion or interest therein, unless and until the
Company has determined to its satisfaction that the proposed disposition does
not violate the registration or qualification requirements of the Federal Act or
applicable state laws.
(h) The Holder understands that the Company has no obligation or intention to
register or qualify the Shares in order to permit sales thereof in accordance
with the registration or qualification provisions of the Securities Act of 1933
or the applicable state laws of the United States of America.
(i) The Holder agrees to indemnify the Company and its officers, directors,
agents and attorneys and to hold the Company and such persons harmless from any
liability, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising as a
result of the sale or distribution of the Shares or any portion thereof or
interest therein by him in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or any
applicable state laws.

agents and attorneys and to hold the Company and such persons harmless from and
against any and all loss, damage, liabilities, costs or expenses (including

16
warranties or failure to fulfill any of the Holder's covenants or agreements
under this Agreement.
(k) The Holder acknowledges that he and/or his professional advisor have had

(l) The Holder understands that the Company's Chief Executive Officer
purchased from Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, then CEO of the Company,
17
1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $100,000 ($.10 per share)
during April, 1995 and that the Company offered to its Debenture Holders in
August, 1995 the opportunity to convert their outstanding Debenture Debt for
$.50 per share and the offer to convert was not accepted by a significant
majority of the Debenture Holders and as a result, the Company did not accept
the offer of the persons willing to convert. Further, the Holder understands
that if he accepts the Preferred Shares for $4.50 per share, the same would be
convertible to common stock at the rate of six shares per preferred share during
the first 12 months or at a price of $.75 per share of common stock. The market
bid price for the Company's common stock as of September 12, 1995 was $.25 per
share.
(m) The Holder acknowledges that the Company makes no representations or
assurances as to the federal or state income tax implications of this
investment. The Company has offered no opinion or advice in this respect and
the Holder acknowledges that the Company and its management have urged the
Holder to consult with his professional advisors with respect to any such tax
implications.
(n) The Holder acknowledges that no representations or assurances have been
given to the Holder by the Company or anyone acting in its behalf as to the
continued operations of the Company or the financial or other success thereof
and the Holder recognizes that the Shares represent a speculative investment and
involve risk factors including, but not limited to, risks inherent in preferred
stock ownership, common stock ownership, the business of medical technology
companies and the necessity of additional substantial fund raising, as are more
fully described in Exhibit L as well as the risk of loss of the undersigned's
entire investment in the Company.
(o) Holder has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of this
investment, has adequate means of providing for current needs and personal
contingencies, and has no need for liquidity in this investment in the Company.
(p) Holder has reviewed the merits of the investment with his own legal, tax
and accounting advisors and with an investment advisor to the extent deemed
advisable.
(q) Holder's overall commitment to investments which are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to Holder's net worth and this investment in
the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
(r) Either (1) Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters to be capable of evaluating the
18
merits and risks of the prospective investment and is able to bear the economic
risk of the investment, or (2) together with a purchaser representative(s), if
any, have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that
they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective
investment and subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of the investment.
(s) Holder has received and read a copy of the exhibits hereto, including the
Articles of Incorporation (including the Series A Preferred Stock Amendment) and
Bylaws of the Company.
(t) Holder understands that (i) the Company has incurred operating losses in
every year since its organization in 1983 (except, 1994, when it had a net
profit of $301,239) and has limited assets. The Company's only income is
limited to that supplied by the Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Medical, Inc. Agreement (ii)
the Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not intend to
do so in the foreseeable future and is able to pay dividends on the Preferred
Stock only to the extent of funds legally available therefore and as monies are
received and available from the Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Medical, Inc. Agreement, and
that the Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx Medical Agreement has been pledged as security for a
loan being made to the Company.
(u) The Shares herein subscribed for are being acquired in good faith
solely for Holder's personal account, for investment purposes only, and are not
being purchased with a view to, or for, resale, distribution, subdivision or
fractionalization thereof. Further, the undersigned will hold the Shares as an
investment.
(v) No federal or state agency has made any finding or determination of the
fairness for investment or any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares.
(w) All of the representations and warranties of the undersigned contained
herein and all information furnished by the undersigned to the Company are true,
correct and complete in all respects.
(x) Holder has not assigned or transferred the Debenture or any interest
therein and the surrender thereof by Holder under this Agreement, to the
knowledge of Holder, will not result in any breach of any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance on, the Debenture or the Shares
pursuant to any agreement, contract or other instrument to which the Holder or
the Debenture is or may be bound.
(y) Holder acknowledges that the price, par value, and
19
dividend rate of the Preferred Shares has been arbitrarily determined by the
Company and bears no relationship to book value, present or future tangible or
intangible assets of the Company or earnings of the Company or any usual
investment criteria.
The foregoing representations, warranties, agreements, undertakings and
acknowledgements are made by the undersigned with the intent that they be relied
upon by the Company in determining suitability as a purchaser of Shares, and the
undersigned hereby agrees that such representations, warranties, agreements,
undertakings and acknowledgements shall survive any purchase of the Shares. In

ADDENDUM TO SETTLEMENT AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
THIS ADDENDUM TO THE SETTLEMENT AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made
and entered into effective September 25, 1995 by and between InMedica
Development Corporation, a Utah corporation ("InMedica" or the "Company") and
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, an individual whose address is 0000 X. Xxxx Xxxxxx Xx., Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 (the "Holder" or "Xxxxxx"), with regard to the following
factual recitals, each of which is incorporated herein by this reference.
RECITALS:
WHEREAS the parties are executing concurrently with this Addendum, a
Settlement and Exchange Agreement regarding the settlement of certain debenture
indebtedness between the parties, pursuant to which the Company is issuing to
Holder certain shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and
WHEREAS the Series A Preferred Stock is, by its terms, convertible to common
stock of the Company as follows: $.75 per common share on or before October 1,
1996 (6 common shares per share of Series A Preferred); $1.50 per common share
on or before October 1, 1997 (3 common shares per share of Series A Preferred);
$3.00 per common share after October 1, 1997 (1.5 common shares per share of
Series A Preferred); and
WHEREAS Xxxxxx desires additional consideration for the settlement of the
lawsuit he has brought against the Company, and the Company is willing to grant
additional consideration to Xxxxxx, contingent upon Xxxxxx exercising certain
future conversion rights, in order to resolve and settle the lawsuit;
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Additional shares upon conversion during second year. As additional
----------------------------------------------------
consideration for Xxxxxx entering into the Settlement and Exchange Agreement and
dismissing his claims in the lawsuit pending against the Company, the Company
agrees that should Xxxxxx elect to exercise his conversion rights on the
Preferred Stock during the period October 1, 1996 through October 1, 1997 at the
rate of $1.50 per common share (three common shares per share of Series A
Preferred), that the Company agrees to issue Xxxxxx one additional common share
for each common share acquired by him pursuant to such conversion rights during
the time period October 1, 1996 through October 1, 1997 (the "Additional
Shares"). Such
23
Additional Shares shall be restricted securities and shall be subject to a two
year holding period and subject to a restrictive legend impeding transfer
without an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company or an effective
registration of the Shares. Xxxxxx understands and agrees that the Company has
relied upon the representations in Xxxxxx'x Investor Questionnaire and in the
Settlement Agreement in agreeing to issue the Additional Shares to Xxxxxx as
provied herein.
2. No effect on conversion rate. This agreement shall not affect the
----------------------------
conversion rate used in converting the Series A Preferred Stock to common stock,
but is solely intended to provide the payment of the Additional Shares to Xxxxxx
as additional consideration for his having entered into the Settlement
Agreement, which consideration would be receivable by him only in the event he
exercised his conversion rights during the period October 1, 1996 through
October 1, 1997. Should Xxxxxx not exercise his conversion rights during the
referenced time period, all rights to receive the Additional Shares would
terminate and be forever waived.
