---------------
after the Closing, the Sellers and their Affiliates shall not use or disclose to
third Persons any information disclosed to and transferred and assigned,
licensed or otherwise made available to Urologix or its Affiliates in connection
with the Business and transfer of Assets hereunder. Without limitation, this
obligation of confidentiality shall apply to information related to the
Products, business plans, strategies, technologies, and future business
relationships of the Business. This obligation of confidentiality shall not
apply to the extent any such information (a) is or becomes part of the public
domain through no fault of the Sellers (but only after and only to the extent
that it is published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain); (b) after
the Closing, comes into the possession of the Sellers from a third Person, other

the Closing occurs. At least 15 days prior to the meeting of the Board of
Directors of Urologix establishing the slate of directors for the next scheduled

submitted by EDAP as a member of the Board of Directors of Urologix at that
Annual Meeting of Shareholders and at future Annual Meetings of Shareholders at
which successors to the directors in that same class of directors are elected;
provided, however, that at such time as the number of shares of Urologix Common
-------- -------
Stock outstanding owned by EDAP is reduced to less than eight percent (8%) of
the total number of then outstanding shares of Urologix, Urologix shall no
longer be obligated to nominate and solicit proxies for election of such
designee of EDAP as a director of Urologix and such nominee shall, if requested
by the Board of Directors of Urologix, resign from the Urologix Board of
Directors.

(the "Indemnitee") shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any
such claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be
forwarded to the other party (the "Indemnitor"). Any notice of a claim by reason
of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in

the Indemnitor is responsible for such claim to the extent required under this
Article 8, at its expense, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise
deal with any claim with respect to which it is the Indemnitor and to have the
Indemnitee represented by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee,
selected by the Indemnitor, provided that the Indemnitee may participate in any
--------
proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense; provided further that
----------------
the Indemnitee, at any time when it believes in good faith that (i) any third
party claim with respect to which Indemnitor is defending is having a Material
Adverse Effect; (ii) the Indemnitor does not have the financial resources to
defend against the claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder;
(iii) the settlement of, or adverse judgment with respect to, the third party
claim is likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially
adverse to the business of the Indemnitee or, with respect to Urologix as
Indemnitee, will adversely affect the Indemnitee's relationship with its
customers; (iv) the Indemnitor is not conducting the defense of the third party
claim actively and diligently; or (v) the third party claim seeks an injunction
or other equitable relief, may assume the defense and settlement of such third

therefor; and provided further, that the Indemnitor may not enter into a
----------------
settlement of any third party claim without the consent of the Indemnitee unless
such settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the
Indemnitee has been fully paid. In the event the Indemnitee is controlling the
defense, the Indemnitor may participate in such defense and settlement through
counsel chosen by it or consent to any settlement of the third party claim,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The parties will cooperate
fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement
of any third party claim.

so submitted. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
(i) any party shall be entitled to seek a judicial order for interim relief to
the extent necessary to safeguard the property that is the subject matter of an
arbitration proceeding hereunder, and (ii) judgment upon the award rendered in

power to grant equitable relief, including temporary and permanent injunctive
relief and specific performance.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 9.8 to the

submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New
York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New
York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in
such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may
37
<PAGE>
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law.

the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder
of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

------------
counterparts, all of which taken together will constitute one and the same
instrument.
9.11 Interpretation. This Agreement has been fully negotiated by the
--------------
parties through their legal counsel. Accordingly, in interpreting this
Agreement, the rule of the interpretation requiring that documents be construed
against the draftsman shall be inapplicable.
