accordance with Section&nbsp;2.06(a)) and Fischer shall not have cured such failure within 120&nbsp;days from the date of a written notice from EES, then such failure shall be deemed a "Failure to
Supply" for purposes of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that it would be impossible or very difficult to determine actual damages (the "Damages") to EES in the event of a Failure to Supply.
Fischer agrees that the sum of $600,000 is the reasonable, documented and proven damages to be paid to EES as a result of a Failure to Supply. This amount shall immediately become due and payable upon
the occurrence of a Failure to Supply. Fischer agrees to waive any legal defense or doctrine which would have the effect of limiting the amount of the Damages. Upon the payment of the Damages to EES,

occurrence of a tender offer, stock purchase, other stock acquisition, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reverse split, sale or transfer of assets or other transaction, as a result of which any

after seven days the officers are unable to resolve the Dispute, the Chief Executive Officer and/or the highest ranking officer of each party shall submit to
nonbinding mediation which shall take place for a period of one day in Cincinnati, Ohio before a mediator that is knowledgeable about the subject matter of the Dispute and that is mutually acceptable
to the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on the selection of a mediator, a mediator shall be chosen by an arbitrator selected pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association
(AAA) who shall then select such mediator from a list of distinguished neutral mediators maintained by the AAA. The mediator shall confer with the parties to design procedures to conclude the
mediation within no more than 45&nbsp;days after initiation. Under no circumstances shall the commencement of arbitration under paragraph&nbsp;(c) below be delayed more than 45&nbsp;days by the
mediation process specified in this paragraph&nbsp;(b). Each party has the right to pursue any provisional relief from the appropriate court, such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin,
etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>status quo,</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration, even though mediation has not been commenced

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
during such one-day mediation the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute, the Dispute shall be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA then pertaining, except where those rules conflict with this provision, in which case this provision controls. The parties hereby consent to
the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Ohio for the enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered hereunder. Should such court
for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with jurisdiction shall enforce this clause and enter judgment on any award. The arbitrator shall be an attorney specializing in business litigation who has
at least 15&nbsp;years of experience with a law firm or corporation of over 25 lawyers or was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be held in Cincinnati, Ohio and the
arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of New York, except that the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Within
30&nbsp;days of initiation of arbitration, the parties shall reach agreement upon and thereafter follow procedures assuring that the arbitration shall be concluded and the award rendered within no
more than six months from selection of the arbitrator. Failing such agreement, the AAA shall design and the parties shall follow such procedures. The parties agree neither to request or seek to
enforce any punitive, exemplary or special damages from the arbitrator and the arbitrator shall not be empowered to grant any such damages. In addition, the parties agree neither to request or seek to
enforce any consequential damages from the arbitrator and the arbitrator shall not be empowered to grant any such damages from the other unless (i)&nbsp;the foreseeability of such damages at the
time of this Agreement, and (ii)&nbsp;the amount of such damages are proven by clear and convincing evidence. The arbitrator shall issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law. Either party
may appeal issues of law to the appropriate court, including the application of law to the facts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The MAMMOTEST PLUS system is designed expressly for needle biopsy of the breast. The system consists of an elevating, floating tabletop on which the patient lies
prone with one breast suspended through an aperture in the tabletop. Beneath the tabletop, a specially designed mammographic X-ray tube takes stereoscopic images of the breast. The
information is captured by a digital camera and automatically processed to provide the spatial coordinates of the suspected lesion. An automated punction device mounted beneath the tabletop aims the
needle to the precise spatial coordinates and the operator may proceed with the biopsy. Accuracy is within 1 mm. A dedicated generator provides power for the X-ray procedures. </FONT></P>

prone with one breast suspended through an aperture in the tabletop. Beneath the tabletop, a specially designed mammographic X-ray tube takes stereoscopic images of the breast. The
information is captured by a digital COD camera and automatically processed to provide the spatial coordinates of the suspected lesion. An automated punction device called an Autoguide&#153; is
mounted beneath the tabletop and has a dual state-of-the-art electro luminescent digital display and message center. The Autoguide aims the needle to the precise
spatial coordinates given and the operator may proceed with the biopsy. Accuracy is within 1mm. A dedicated high frequency generator provides power for the X-ray procedures. </FONT></P>
