FINAL 13/36
ASPECT/DRAEGER BISx DEVELOPMENT, PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
Aspect agrees to promptly inform Draeger of any official
observations of FDA relating to any Aspect Product manufactured for
Draeger or the manufacturing of such Product as well as Aspect's
response to such findings. Aspect will immediately inform Draeger of
any Aspect Product manufactured for Draeger that does not meet the
Specifications or does not perform as intended or any information
which may suggest that an Aspect Product manufactured for Draeger
does not meet the Specifications or does not perform as intended, as
well as any possible Medical Device Report ("MDR") reportable event
of which it becomes aware.
14.5 Recall.
If any government agency requires Draeger to recall, destroy and/or
withhold from marketing or selling any Product that are still under
Aspect's warranty pursuant to this Agreement ("Recall") based upon
such agency's reasonable determination that Aspect's workmanship in
manufacturing such Products is the sole and direct cause of the
Product defect necessitating the Recall ("Covered Products"), Aspect
shall, subject to the parties' mutual written agreement by
authorized representatives, (i) repair or replace, at Aspect's sole
discretion, the Covered Products without charge to Draeger, and (ii)
reimburse Draeger for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually
incurred by Draeger, as evidenced by supporting documentation
provided to Aspect, in connection with Draeger's implementation of
the Recall. Draeger shall bear all costs and expenses, and shall
indemnify and hold Aspect and its Affiliates harmless, for any
Product recall to the extent such recall is the result of any act or
omission attributable to Draeger. This clause shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
14.6 Delegation.

under this Section 14 to its sub-distributors. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Draeger shall remain responsible
for compliance with this Section 14 even after such delegation.

that such substitutions or modifications shall not materially affect
form, fit, function,
FINAL 14/36
ASPECT/DRAEGER BISx DEVELOPMENT, PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
reliability, serviceability, performance, functional
interchangeability or interface capability of Aspect Products. In
the event that any proposed substitution or modification affects, in
Aspect's reasonable judgment, the form, fit, function, reliability,
serviceability, performance, functional interchangeability or
interface capability of an Aspect Product, Aspect shall give Draeger
written notice of such proposed substitution or modification at
least [**] days prior to its taking effect and Draeger shall have
the right, during such [**] day period and for [**] days thereafter,
to order Aspect Products without such substitution or modification
for delivery up to [**] days after such substitution or modification
takes effect. Aspect shall provide the appropriate verification and
validation information for evaluating the effect of the change on
the Draeger BISx System.
15.3 Discontinued Products.
Aspect agrees to notify Draeger in writing not less than [**] months
in advance of the discontinuance of any Aspect Products purchased by
Draeger. Draeger shall be able to place orders for at least [**]

Draeger shall be entitled to determine its lifetime-buy quantities
and place a corresponding last purchase order.
15.4 Draeger-Initiated Product Engineering Changes
Draeger may from time to time request in writing that Aspect
implement an Engineering Change. Such request shall be accompanied
by an Engineering Change Order ("ECO") form or equivalent with a
written description of the proposed Engineering Change sufficient to
permit Aspect to evaluate its feasibility, a revised Xxxx of
Materials ("BOM"), drawings, media, and a proposed implementation
date. Within a maximum of [**] business days of such request, Aspect
will advise Draeger in writing of the conditions under which Aspect
would implement the Engineering Change, if any. Aspect's evaluation
will include, at a minimum, the cost to implement, any cost savings
or increase as a result of the Engineering Change. The parties shall
agree to any Engineering Change that may apply directly to the unit
price of a Product within a maximum of [**] business days from the
date that Aspect receives Draeger's notice of an Engineering Change.
Purchase Orders shall be amended accordingly. In the event that
Draeger designates an Engineering Change as "URGENT" or "RUSH",
Aspect will use all reasonable efforts to respond to Draeger's
request within [**] of receipt. If any Engineering Change causes an
increase or decrease in the total number of Products due under a
purchase order issued hereunder or in the time required for its
performance, an equitable adjustment shall be made, provided,
however, that any claim by either party must be made in writing in
the form of a quotation within thirty (30) days from the
acknowledged receipt date of the change notice by Aspect.
15.5 Disposition of Product Parts
If an Engineering Change is implemented by Aspect, Aspect will
notify Draeger in writing of the disposition to be made of those
parts affected in raw inventory, work in process, and finished
FINAL 15/36
ASPECT/DRAEGER BISx DEVELOPMENT, PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

current purchase orders not yet processed at the time of the
Engineering Change. Aspect and Draeger shall mutually agree on
reimbursement to Aspect for any and all obsolete materials and
rework that result from the implementation of any Draeger-initiated
Engineering Changes prior to Aspect initiating implementation of the
same. Aspect will use all reasonable efforts to minimize the cost
exposure generated by obsolete Product parts. Aspect will make all
reasonable efforts to return all goods to suppliers prior to
reimbursement and settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Draeger's liability for any material
identified by Aspect as obsolete due to the implementation of any
Draeger-initiated ECO will be limited to that quantity and price
identified by Aspect at the time of Aspect's notice of acceptance of
the ECO.
16. OWNERSHIP AND PROTECTION OF RESULTS.

the recipient Party's files prior to disclosure to it by the other Party,
if it was or is received by the recipient Party from a third person under
circumstances permitting its unrestricted disclosure by the recipient
Party, or if it was independently developed by the recipient Party without
reference to the confidential information. Upon termination of this
Agreement, each Party shall promptly destroy all confidential information
of the other Party in the possession or control of such Party and all
copies thereof, provided that each Party may retain one copy thereof for
archival purposes. The obligations under this Section 18 shall continue

are a result of the defective design or manufacture of the
Aspect Products, do not arise as a result of the misuse of the

against any damages,

on a system in order for that system to qualify as "BIS
Ready".
- Discount for "% of systems BIS Ready" takes effect upon commencement
of shipment of systems that meet this criteria
- If Draeger offers a directly competitive product to the Draeger BISx
System (any parameter that Draeger claims to be a measure of the
hypnotic effect of anesthesia), the discounts for "% of Systems BIS
Ready" will be eliminated. Only discounts based on volume of BISx
Systems shipped will be available from that time forward.
- Additional incremental NRE charges and unit cost for customization
of the product (i.e. Mold color, labeling), if included in the final
product, will be borne by Draeger.

EXHIBIT B
SPECIFICATIONS: ASPECT BISX KIT
[PICTURE]
BISx is a device that acquires up to two channels of EEG and
computes BIS and other EEG parameters, uniting the functionality of
the existing Aspect DSC-XP and Aspect BIS Engine. BISx is designed
to mate with Aspect's XP platform 1 or 2 channel sensors. BISx has
no display or user interface. It plugs into a host monitor system
for display of EEG and processed parameters. BISx is designed for
use wherever sedative drugs are administered, including but not
limited to the following environments: Operating rooms, Intensive
Care Units, Procedural Sedation, and Clinical Research areas.
The standard BISx acquires EEG via single channel or two channel
referential XP platform sensors and XP compatible sensors. The
inputs are protected against damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD), a direct hit from an electrocautery device, and
defibrillation of the patient to which it is attached. The BISx
recovers from large signal saturation quickly. The BISx is resistant
to electrosurgical (ESU) interference.
BISx interfaces to one or more of the following interfaces: standard
RS-232 asynchronous interface, RS-232 type asynchronous interface
but with TTL 3.3V signal levels, Universal Serial Bus (USB)
interface, or RS-485 interface. Availability of interfaces may be
limited by the specific monitor cable connected to BISx. All
interface versions also support USB interfacing for software upgrade
and download purposes. BISx can be connected and disconnected to an
already powered up host monitor. The host monitor should
automatically detect its presence and configure it accordingly.
The BISx is designed to be placed near the patient's head. It is
unobtrusive and conveniently handled. It is sealed so as not to
allow liquids to enter when splashed. The enclosure is not painted,
but rather is of materials that are a solid color throughout. The
BISx includes a convenient method for attaching and de-attaching the
enclosure to surgical draperies, sheets, or an IV pole.

ASPECT/DRAEGER BISx DEVELOPMENT, PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
The BISx connects to a sensor via the Aspect PIC Plus (Aspect part
number 186-0107). The PIC Plus is approximately [**]. The PIC Plus
connection is integral to the enclosure (no pigtail), and can be
detached from the box for service or replacement without the use of
tools. The enclosure is sealed against liquid ingress even when the
PIC is detached.
The BISx is attached to the host monitoring system via a [**]. The
wire is narrow and highly flexible. The monitor connection is
integral to the enclosure (no pigtail), and may require the use of
tools for detachment from the box for service or replacement. The
enclosure is sealed against liquid ingress only when the monitor
cable is attached. The connector on the host monitor end is chosen
in collaboration with the OEM host partner company. There are no
adjustable parts inside the BISx. The cables may be replaced without
opening the enclosure.
The BISx software is stored in reprogrammable FLASH memory. Software
upgrades can be accomplished on-site or remotely via the serial /
USB interface. Each BISx is given a unique serial identifier,
allowing for electronic identification and tracking of every BISx.
