StatView Product, including the software and documentation relating
thereto, or a Data Critical Mark, Data Critical's proprietary
receivers, or any Data Critical proprietary product provided as part
of Data Critical's repair or replacement services constitutes an
unauthorized use or infringement of any third party's intellectual
property rights, other than any such claim asserting that the
combination of the Integrated StatView Product with the Agilent
product (as distinguished from the Integrated StatView Product
separately) constitutes such an unauthorized use or infringement.
Subject to the limitations herein (including Data Critical's rights
to assume the defense thereof), Data Critical will pay all costs,
damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred
by Agilent, its Subsidiaries, Subcontractors or customers in
connection with any such claim. Data Critical shall have the right to
assume the defense of and/or settle any such claim; provided, that
--------
Data Critical shall not agree to any settlement of any such claim
which does not include a full release of all liabilities of any
indemnified party under this Section 19.1. The operation of this
Section shall also be subject to the limitations on liability and
remedies set forth in Sections 19.3 and 25 below.
19.2. Agilent's Duty To Notify. Agilent will give Data Critical prompt
written notice of any such claim or action, and will give Data
Critical the authority, information, and reasonable assistance (at
Data Critical's expense) necessary to defend. If Data Critical does
not diligently pursue resolution of the claim nor provide Agilent
with reasonable assurances that it will diligently pursue resolution,
then Agilent may, without in any way limiting its other rights and
remedies, defend the claim.
19.3. Remedies For Infringing Products. If the use of the Integrated
StatView Product or any proprietary receiver provided by Data
Critical for use in connection therewith is enjoined on the basis
that it allegedly or actually infringes upon the intellectual
property rights of another party (the "Infringing Product") (it being
-------------------
agreed that any such product will not be deemed an Infringing Product
to the extent its use would not have been so enjoined absent its
integration into Agilent's products), Data Critical will, at its sole
expense and option, either:
(a) [*];
(b) [*];
(c) [*]; or
(d) [*].
19.4. Trademark Issues. In respect of any Data Critical trademarks,
tradenames, tradestyles, or service marks utilized by Agilent under
or pursuant to this Agreement, Agilent agrees to adhere to Data
Critical's quality standards for such marks and styles and not to
modify, enhance or otherwise vary any such mark or style without the
prior written consent of Data Critical. Agilent further agrees not to
file or utilize any trademark, tradename, tradestyle or service mark
that would be confusingly similar to StatView or any other such mark,
name or style of Data Critical's to which Agilent has access pursuant
to or in connection with this Agreement.
20. Governmental Compliance. Data Critical agrees to comply with all federal,
-----------------------
state, local and foreign laws, rules, and regulations applicable to its
performance of this Agreement or to the Integrated StatView Products and
the related proprietary receivers, to the extent relating solely to Data
Critical's use of such products, and the non-

compliance with which would have a material adverse effect on the ability
of Data Critical to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
21. Events of Default.
-----------------
21.1. Notice Of Breach. If either Party is in Default (as defined below) of
this Agreement, the non-defaulting party may, by written notice to
the breaching party terminate this Agreement.
21.2. Default. For purposes of Section 21.1 above, the term "Default" means
-------
any:
(a) Proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy or
insolvency instituted by or against a Party and which if
instituted against such Party, such proceedings have not been
released or stayed within [*] after the institution thereof or
any relief sought thereunder has been granted;
(b) Appointment, with or without a Party's consent, of a receiver or
an assignee for the benefit of creditors and which if such
appointment has been made without the consent of such Party,
such appointment have not been rescinded or stayed within [*]

has been granted;
(c) Failure by Data Critical to make a delivery of any Integrated
StatView Products or any material amount of the related hardware
in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and such
failure continues unremedied for [*] after written notice
thereof to Data Critical by Agilent; provided that such failure
has not been caused by any force outside of the control of Data
Critical (including product or material shortages, work
stoppages (other than for non-payment of wages), strikes or acts
of God or other force majeure) that has not continued for more
than [*] after such failure giving rise to such claim of
Default;
(d) Failure by Data Critical to replace or repair any material
amount of any non-complying products in a timely manner as
required by this Agreement and such failure continues unremedied
for [*] after written notice thereof to Data Critical by
Agilent; provided that such failure has not been caused by any
force outside of the control of Data Critical (including product
or material shortages, work stoppages (other than for non-
payment of wages), strikes or acts of God or other force
majeure) that has not continued for more than [*] after such
failure giving rise to such claim of Default;
(e) Failure of Agilent to make the payments required under Section 6
of this Agreement and such failure continues unremedied for [*]
after written notice thereof to Agilent by Data Critical; the
failure by either Party to make any other payment required to be
made by it hereunder, including failure by Agilent to pay for
any license sold and not encompassed within the minimum
sales/purchase obligations of Section 6, within [*] after
Agilent's receipt of written notice of such failure given by or
on behalf of Data Critical (it being agreed that such written
notice may be in the form of an invoice noting a past due
balance, a second notice, or any other similar notice); [*]; or
(f) Any other failure by a Party to comply in any material respect
with any material provision of this Agreement, which failure
shall continue unremedied for [*] after receipt of written
notice thereof from the non-defaulting Party.
22. Remedies.
--------
22.1. In the case of termination of this Agreement for any reason (other
than a termination by Data Critical for non-payment of license fees
by Agilent), by any party, all orders issued prior to the expiration

terms of this Agreement, even if the delivery dates are after
expiration.

License and Distribution Agreement
22.2. In the case of termination of the Agreement by Data Critical as the
result of Agilent's breach of this Agreement, Data Critical shall be
entitled [*] (in addition to all other amounts previously owing by
Agilent); Data Critical shall have no ongoing obligations, and
Agilent shall have no further rights, hereunder (in each case, other
than contemplated pursuant to Section 26.9). In addition to the
foregoing, with respect to any amounts not paid when due by Agilent,
such amounts shall accrue interest [*] for each day outstanding until
such amounts are paid in full.
22.3. In the case of termination of the Agreement by Agilent as the result
of Data Critical's breach of this Agreement, Data Critical shall be
obligated as follows:
(a) At all times when Data Critical is continuing its operations,
[*].
(b) At any time when Data Critical has discontinued its operations,
[*].
22.4. The parties agree and acknowledge that damages resulting from Data
Critical's intentional breach of the exclusivity provision in Section
3.1 may result in irreparable and immeasurable harm to Agilent.
"Intentional breach" for purposes of this Section 22.4 and Section
------------------
23.4 means any deliberate act by Data Critical to breach the
exclusivity provision in Section 3.1 through a proactive effort by
Data Critical to provide information or assistance to a third party
with a view towards integration of the StatView software code, rather
than, for example, the reverse engineering or decompiling of such
software code and subsequent integration by such third party. In case
of such intentional breach, in addition to the rights set forth above
and subject to Section 23.4, Agilent shall have the following rights:
(a) Agilent shall be entitled to injunctive relief preventing Data
Critical from licensing the Integrated StatView Product to any
other party, Data Critical shall terminate the licenses or
contract with the third party, and Data Critical shall seek an
injunction against the third party to prevent the third party
from marketing or using the Integrated StatView Product;
(b) Data Critical shall pay Agilent [*]; and
(c) [*]
23. Indemnification.
---------------
23.1. Subject to Sections 9.3, 19, 23.4 and 25, Data Critical shall
indemnify and hold harmless Agilent, its officers, directors, and
employees from any claims, losses, reasonable attorneys fees,
damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, or suits for injury to any
person, damage to loss of property or any other claim (collectively,
"Losses") to the extent that it is determined by a court of competent
------
jurisdiction to be the result of or arising out of or related to (a)
the failure of the Integrated StatView Product and related receivers
to perform in accordance with the specifications therefor (other than
any such failure which results from the integration of such product
into the Agilent product, the disabling of the Reminder Notification,
the workmanship of Agilent or its agents or the interaction of the
Integrated StatView Product with any other component of the
integrated product) or (b) any other act or omission of Data Critical
(other than as set forth in clause (a) immediately above) in
connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
23.2. Subject to Section 25, Agilent shall indemnify and hold harmless Data
Critical, its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents (the "Data Critical Indemnified Parties") from
---------------------------------
any Losses to the extent that it is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to which Agilent is a party,
to be the result of or arising out of or related to (a) any Agilent
product (other than for which Data Critical is obligated to indemnify
Agilent pursuant to clause (a) of Section 23.1), (b) the failure of
Agilent to comply with the requirements of Section 10 of this
Agreement, (c) the breach of the provisions of the following
paragraph, (d) [*], or (e) any other act or omission of Agilent or
its distributors

(other than as set in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) immediately above)
in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
23.3. Within ten days of receipt of notice of any third-party claim that
may give rise to Losses of Data Critical, Agilent shall notify Data
Critical in writing of such third-party claim. Unless Agilent is also
party to such claim and either Agilent or Data Critical determines in
good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, Data
Critical will be entitled to elect to participate in the joint
defense of such claim and, to the extent that it determines there
exists a reasonable probability that such claim or a compromise,
settlement or adjudication thereof may result in monetary damages for
which it would not be entitled to indemnification from Agilent, then
Data Critical may, by written notice to Agilent, assume the exclusive
right to defend, compromise, or settle such third-party claim;
provided, that no compromise or settlement of such third-party claims
--------
may be effected by Agilent without the prior written consent of Data
Critical unless (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation
of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on
any claims that may be made against Data Critical, and (b) the sole
relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by Agilent
or its affiliates, and (c) Agilent acknowledges that it shall not
seek indemnification or contribution from Data Critical for any sums
paid in connection with such compromise or settlement. [*]
23.4. In the case of any breach by Data Critical of the exclusivity
provision in Section 3.1, which breach is not an intentional breach
(as defined in Section 22.4), Data Critical shall immediately use its
best efforts to cure such breach and shall seek redress and
recompense through reasonably available legal and equitable means,
including but not limited to a suit for immediate injunctive relief
and monetary damages against such third party. Any damages recovered
by Data Critical from the third party whose act has caused or
resulted in such breach shall be equally shared by Data Critical and
Agilent, after deduction for the costs and expenses of Data Critical
in recovering such damages and curing said breach. Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Agreement, any breach by Data Critical of
the exclusivity provision in Section 3.1, which breach is not an
intentional breach (as defined in Section 22.4) shall be deemed to
not be a breach of this Agreement and shall not give rise to a right
of Agilent for indemnification or damages other than as set forth in
this Section 23.4.
24. Insurance Coverage.
------------------
24.1. Each party will maintain Comprehensive or Commercial General
Liability Insurance (including but not limited to premises and
operations, products and completed operations, broad form contractual
liability, broad form property damage and personal injury liability)
with a minimum limit of $[*] combined single limit per occurrence for
claims of bodily injury, including death, and property damage that
may arise from use of the Integrated StatView Product or acts or
omissions of such party under this Agreement. Each policy obtained by
such party will name the other party, its officers, directors and
employees as additional insureds. Such insurance will apply as
primary insurance and no other insurance will be called upon to
contribute to a loss covered thereunder. In addition, such policies
will permit such party to waive, on its own behalf and on behalf of
its insurers, any rights of subrogation against the other party. Such
insurance policies will be written with appropriately licensed and
financially responsible insurers, and will provide for a minimum of
30 days written notice to Agilent of any cancellation or reduction in
coverage.
24.2. If any policies have "claims made" coverage, each party will maintain
such coverage with the other party named as an additional insured for
a minimum of three years after termination of this Agreement. Any
such coverage must have a retroactive date no later than the date
upon which work commenced under this Agreement.
25. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT,
-----------------------
NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF
THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF ANY PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IN
FURTHERANCE OF THE PROVISIONS OR OBJECTIVES OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER SUCH

with these provisions.
26.2. Exhibits. Each Exhibit attached to this Agreement is deemed a part of
this Agreement and incorporated herein wherever reference to it is
made.
26.3. Independent Contractors. The relationship of the Parties established
under this Agreement is that of independent contractors and neither
party is a partner, employee, agent or joint venturer of or with the
other.
26.4. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, license, privilege
or obligation provided herein may be assigned, transferred or shared
by either party without the other party's prior written consent;
provided, however, that the rights and obligations of either party
-------- -------
under this Agreement may be assigned to any person or entity
succeeding to all or substantially all of the business and assets of
the assigning party by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
acquisition of stock (or other similar transaction) or the purchase
of all or substantially all of the assigning party's assets
(collectively, an "Acquisition"); provided, further, that such
----------- -------- -------
acquiring person or entity has assumed in writing or by operation of
law all of the assigning party's obligations under this Agreement.
Each party agrees to give the other party prior notice of any
Acquisition and to make any such agreement subject to the conditions
set forth in this Section. This Agreement will be binding on the
successors and permitted assigns of the parties and the name of the
party appearing herein will be deemed to include the names of such
party's successors or permitted assigns to the extent necessary to
carry out the intent of this Agreement. It is hereby acknowledged by
both parties that Agilent has announced a pending sale of the
Healthcare Solutions Group (including the Patient Monitoring
Division) to Philips Electronics, and subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in this Section, Data Critical hereby
consents thereto.
26.5. No Waiver. The waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this
Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party. Any such waiver will not be
construed as a waiver of any other term, condition, or provision
except as provided in writing, nor as a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same term, condition, or provision.
26.6. No Publication. Except as may otherwise be required (or reasonably
believed by a Party to be required) by law, neither party may
publicize or disclose to any third party the terms of this Agreement,
without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or denied. Agilent agrees that
notwithstanding the foregoing, Data Critical shall be permitted to
issue a press release announcing the entering into of the
arrangements contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that such
--------
press release shall be provided to Agilent for its review and
approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
26.7. Severability. If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable by a body of competent jurisdiction, such provision
will be construed, limited or, if necessary, severed to the extent
necessary to eliminate such invalidity or unenforceability. The
parties agree to negotiate in good faith a valid, enforceable
substitute provision that most nearly effects the parties' original
intent in entering into this Agreement. The other provisions of this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
