request, Executive agrees to provide Syncor with cooperation in any
lawsuits arising out of events during Executive&rsquo;s employment

responsibilities under any subsequent employment.&nbsp; Upon
reasonable notice from Syncor, Executive agrees to participate in
discovery and trial preparation, and to assist Syncor&rsquo;s legal
counsel as and where needed, including attendance at depositions

of any lawsuit.&nbsp; Rather, it is intended solely to provide
Executive with reasonable compensation for actual expenses incurred
in Litigation Assistance.</font></p>

<u>Confidential Information</u>.&nbsp; Executive has been and will
continue to be employed by Syncor in a position that gives him
access to sensitive information of a confidential nature, about the
executives, officers and consultants of the Companies (collectively
referred to as the &ldquo;Management&rdquo;), as well as access to
confidential or proprietary information about the
Companies.</font></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>

<p><font size="3" face=

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term &ldquo;Confidential
Information&rdquo; shall include, without limitation, sensitive
information of a confidential nature or any nonpublic information
relating to the Management or Companies and with regard to the
Companies, nonpublic financial information, information concerning
compensation or benefit programs, internal projections, budgets,
financial plans, marketing and advertising strategies or plans,
promotional materials, vendor and product information, cost and
price information, the identity and lists of actual or potential
customers, vendors, executives, suppliers and distributors, sources
of supply for capital equipment, test results or market studies
concerning competitors and competitive products and any other
matters not specifically mentioned above which would constitute a
trade secret. Executive acknowledges that the Confidential
Information derives independent economic value from not being
readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can
obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and that
reasonable efforts have been made to maintain the secrecy of such
Confidential Information.</font></p>

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In addition to the obligations under any agreement regarding
confidentiality, trade secrets and intellectual property signed by
Executive (which shall remain in full force and effect to the
extent not inconsistent with this Agreement), and any ethical
commitments and common law obligations Executive may have to keep
confidences, but except as limited by Paragraphs 10(b) and 10(c)
below, Executive further covenants and agrees to hold in confidence
all Confidential Information, whether or not in written form and
without limitation as to when or how Executive may have acquired
such information, regarding the Management or the Companies, their
agents, officers, directors, executives, representatives, and their
predecessors, successors, heirs, executors, administrators and
assigns, both present and former.&nbsp; Executive agrees to keep
such Confidential Information confidential at all times during and
after Executive&rsquo;s employment with Syncor, and that Executive
will neither disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available nor use
any Confidential Information, for Executive&rsquo;s own or a third
party&rsquo;s benefit nor disclose or communicate such information
to any third party, person or entity, either before or after
Executive&rsquo;s termination of employment with Syncor.</font></p>

(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Syncor agrees that once the sale of a CMI center has been
consummated, Executive's covenants under Paragraph 10(a) above
shall not apply to any part of the Confidential Information that
deals specifically and solely with the operations of that CMI
center that was sold, but only so long as such Confidential
Information does not constitute a valuable Syncor asset.&nbsp; For
example, Confidential Information involving the financial
performance, marketing and advertising strategies, or cost or price
information of the sold CMI center will be covered by the foregoing
exception to Paragraph 10(a).&nbsp; Any other Confidential
Information of Syncor involving that sold CMI center, including,
without limitation, Confidential Information of that CMI center
that relates to or that reveals Syncor's management of and
strategies with respect to CMI or the operations of Syncor, or
Confidential Information that relates to a valuable Syncor asset,
such as information relating to Project Light, shall not be
included within the foregoing exception, it being understood that
such Confidential Information will continue to be governed by
Paragraph 10(a).</font></p>

Executive&rsquo;s obligations under Paragraph 10(a) shall not apply
to any part of the Confidential Information that was or became
generally available to the public other than as a result of
disclosure by Executive.&nbsp; Further, Executive&rsquo;s
obligations under Paragraph 10(a) shall not apply to the disclosure
of Confidential Information where such disclosure is required by
law and Executive is subject to civil or criminal sanctions or
penalties for failing to disclose information, provided Executive
gives Syncor prompt notice of any such situation and endeavors, and
cooperates fully (to the extent consistent with his legal or
ethical obligations) with Syncor&rsquo;s efforts, to prevent such
disclosures, keep such disclosures to a minimum, and secure
protective orders or similar arrangements with respect to
Confidential Information.</font></p>

Non-Solicitation of Employees.&nbsp; During the term of this
Agreement and continuing for a period of six months after the

CMI employee whose employment with Syncor has been placed under
inactive status in connection with Syncor's decision to change its

Abatement of Period of Restriction in Case of Breach.&nbsp; In the
event of any breach or violation of the restrictions contained in
this Paragraph 11, the specified time period for observance of
those restrictions shall abate during the time of any such breach
or violation, and such time period remaining at the time of the

12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<u>Enforcement</u>.&nbsp; Because Executive&rsquo;s services are
unique and because Executive has access to Confidential Information
and work product, the parties hereto agree that Syncor would be
damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of
Paragraphs 8, 9, 10 or 11 hereof were not performed in accordance
with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money
damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such non-performance
or breach.&nbsp; Therefore, Syncor or its successors or assigns
shall be entitled, in addition to other rights and remedies
existing in their favor, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
any breach or threatened breach of any of such provisions and to
enforce such provisions specifically (without posting a bond or
other security).</font></p>

<u>Costs of Enforcement</u>.&nbsp; If Syncor complies with this
Agreement but Executive violates Executive&rsquo;s commitments in
Paragraphs 8, 9, 10 or 11 of this Agreement, it is agreed that
Syncor may seek judicial enforcement of its rights under Paragraphs
8, 9, 10 or 11, and it is agreed that Syncor shall be entitled to
recover from Executive any costs it incurs (including reasonable
attorney fees) in obtaining judicial enforcement, provided that
such costs recoveries shall not exceed the net amounts paid to
Executive under Paragraphs 3 and 5 of this Agreement.&nbsp; If
Executive complies with this Agreement but Syncor violates its
commitments in Paragraphs 1, 3, 5, or 7 of this Agreement, it is
agreed that Executive may seek judicial enforcement of its rights
under Paragraphs 1, 3, 5, or 7 and Executive shall be entitled to

attorney fees) in obtaining judicial enforcement.</font></p>

Agreement, Executive may still revoke it at any time during the
7-day period after Executive received this Agreement, by delivering
written notice of revocation to Syncor within this 7-day period, as
provided in Paragraph 9(h)(vi) above.&nbsp; This Agreement shall
not become effective or enforceable until this revocation period
