(4) The Parties agree that the date on which the Purchased Inventory is
delivered to the Delivery Location under Section 2(2) or the address
under Section 2(3) shall be referred to herein as the delivery date
(the "Delivery Date"). For greater certainty, if delivery of the
Purchased Inventory under Section 2(2) or (3) occurs on more than 1
day, the Delivery Date shall deem to be the date on which the last
delivery is made.
(5) For greater clarity, the Parties acknowledge that the Purchased
Inventory is sold by SNS to Medtronic on an as-is basis. To the best of
SNS's knowledge, the Purchased Inventory is not defective and is
intended to be used as labelled.
(6) For a period of 3 Business Days from the Delivery Date (the "Inventory
Review Period"), Medtronic shall at its option, either itself or
through its agents, conduct a physical count of, and review, the
Purchased Inventory to determine, acting reasonably, which, if any, of
the Purchased Inventory or component parts thereof are missing as
compared to list in Schedule A (the "Missing Inventory").
(7) Medtronic shall provide to SNS a list of Missing Inventory before the
expiry of the Inventory Review Period and shall, at the request of SNS,
provide evidence of the accuracy and completeness of the list of
Missing Inventory to the reasonable satisfaction of SNS.
(8) Upon receipt of the list of Missing Inventory and satisfaction of SNS
of the accuracy and completeness of the list of Missing Inventory, SNS
acting reasonably shall deliver the Missing Inventory at such time and
to such location as directed by Medtronic. The costs of insuring and
shipping of such Missing Inventory referred to in this Section 2(8)
shall be borne by SNS. If for whatever reason SNS is unable to deliver
any of such Missing Inventory referred to herein, the Purchase Price
shall be reduced by such amount which represents that portion of the
Purchase Price payable for the Missing Inventory which SNS is unable to
deliver as listed on Schedule A.
(9) If during the Inventory Review Period either SNS is not provided with a
list of Missing Inventory or there is no dispute between SNS and
Medtronic concerning the list of Missing Inventory provided by
Medtronic to SNS, then no later than 2 Business Days after the expiry
of the Inventory Review Period, Medtronic shall pay the full Purchase
Price to SNS.
(10) In the event that there is a dispute between SNS and Medtronic
concerning the list of Missing Inventory provided by Medtronic to SNS
during the Inventory Review Period, the Parties shall seek resolution
of their dispute pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 10(5).
The Parties agree that in the circumstances where there is a dispute as
referred to herein, Medtronic shall no later than 2 Business Days after
the expiry of the Inventory Review Period pay the Purchase Price other
than the amounts which relate to the disputed items of inventory.
Payment by Medtronic for the disputed items of inventory shall be dealt
with as part of the Parties' dispute resolution under Section 10(5).
(11) If for whatever reason the whole or part of the Purchased Inventory is
lost in transit to the Delivery Location pursuant to the delivery
procedure in Section 2(2) or Section 2(3), the Parties agree that the
loss will be at the sole risk of Medtronic such that for the purposes
of this Agreement, the Purchased Inventory will be deemed to be
transferred to Medtronic immediately before the loss. Medtronic shall
pay the full Purchase Price in cash to SNS within 2 Business Days from
the date of loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all Parties, each
acting reasonably, determine the sole cause of such loss is due to
inadequate packaging, the Parties agree that the loss will be at the
sole risk of SNS.
(12) For greater certainty, the Parties acknowledge that no adjustment to
the Purchase Price shall be made and SNS shall not be under any
obligation to deliver any missing items of inventory to Medtronic if
Medtronic fails to provide SNS with a list of Missing Inventory before
the expiry of the Inventory Review Period or if Medtronic or its agents
discover Missing Inventory after the Inventory Review Period.
Section 3 Customer Relationship
(1) During the term of this Agreement, SNS will recommend Medtronic to the
Customers as the preferred supplier of IGS Services and Medtronic
agrees to use its Best Efforts to provide IGS Services to the

that if training takes place outside of Toronto, Ontario,
Medtronic shall reimburse SNS the trainer's reasonable costs
of transportation and accommodation to attend the training
session;
(g) provide Medtronic with 2 existing demo IGS Systems at no cost,

(h) release SNN Partners from any exclusivity terms or other
restrictions that would prevent any of the SNN Partners from
co-operating with Medtronic; and
(i) SNS employees shall not approach end users directly for the

authorized by SNS to sell its remaining inventory, shall be
entitled to approach any party on behalf of SNS for purposes
of selling the inventory.

materials referred to herein shall solely be borne by Medtronic and
Medtronic agrees to reimburse SNS for all reasonable shipping costs
within 5 Business Days of its receipt of such request for reimbursement
from SNS.
(4) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to assign
any contract which is not assignable in whole or in part without the
consent of the other party or parties thereto, unless such consent has
been given.
(5) For greater certainty, the Parties acknowledge that each of SNS and
Medtronic shall not assume and shall have no obligation to discharge,
perform or fulfil, any and all liabilities and obligations, contingent
or otherwise, of the other Party which may be owed to the Customers.

or execute any instrument on behalf of the other.

IGS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
1. GRANT OF RIGHTS
WHEREAS SNS has sold to its customers IGS Systems, as herein defined,
WHEREAS SNS wishes Medtronic to continue to support such systems, and
WHEREAS Medtronic has agreed to provide support under the terms and conditions
set out in this Agreement, and
WHEREAS the provision of this support may cause Medtronic to perform activities
requiring detailed knowledge of the internal software architecture of the IGS
System, and
WHEREAS SNS has agreed to provide Medtronic knowledge and source code related to
the interface between the MKM Microscope (a robotic surgical microscope
developed and marketed by Carl Zeiss) and the IGS System,
NOW THEREFORE IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS,
1.1. Grant of Rights. SNS grants to Medtronic, and Medtronic accepts, a
limited, non-exclusive (subject to Article 7) license:
(a) to use one copy of the source code of SNN 3.0, the "Source
Code" (as defined later), residing on Medtronic's computer
systems for the sole purpose of supporting the Customer within
the intent and in accordance with the stated purposes
specified in the main body of the Agreement;
(b) to have another copy of the Source Code on a backup media;
(c) to modify, rebuild, and re-deploy the SNN 3.0 application as
required to effectively support the Customer;
1.2 For the purposes of this Agreement:
(a) The "Source Code" comprises:
1. Source code, developed by SNS, for the SNN 3.0 product that is deployed
to Customers for use in cranial, spinal, ENT and stereotactic headframe
clinical applications; and
2. Libraries and header files of the Cedara IAP platform required for
rebuilding the SNN 3.0 product; and
3. Source code, specifically developed by the SNS to implement a
communication protocol on the IGS System for managing communication
between the MKM Microscope and the IGS System, the "MKM Interface
Code".
(b) For sake of clarity, "Source Code" specifically excludes:
1. Any content of SNN Fluoro, except that which was reused from SNN 3.0
and therefore is also part of SNN 3.0; and
2. Any content of new generations of product, based on SNN 3.0, but never
released to Customers (except for the MKM Interface Code); and
3. Any content related to IAP, the underlying platform licensed from
Cedara software.
1.3 The grant of rights to Medtronic is solely for the purpose of Medtronic
fixing defects in the existing functionality of the Customer systems,
and thus, for example, specifically excludes new incremental features
being added to the product.
1.4 The grant of rights terminates concurrent with termination of the
"Cooperation and Customer Support Agreement".
1.5 Upon expiry of the license granted hereunder, Medtronic shall destroy
