ARTICLE 3

ORDERS FOR CPS PRODUCTS

3.1 Purchase Orders. CTI shall solicit Purchase Orders solely on the basis of the terms and conditions of sale (the "TERMS OF SALE") by utilizing the established standard sales processes of Siemens. In order to determine the price to customers, CTI's sales agents shall use the list prices as published in the Siebel quote system utilizing the same prizing authorities and escalation processes as the Siemens personnel. Siemens shall implement its pricing policies fairly between the Siemens and CTI sales organization so that neither party is disadvantaged in pursuing opportunities in the marketplace. Where appropriate, CTI shall inform each prospective customer that consummation of the sale is subject to Siemens' acceptance of the Purchase Order.

3.2 Submission of Purchase Orders to Siemens. Within one (1) business days after CTI has obtained a signed Purchase Order from a prospective customer, CTI shall submit the Purchase Order to Siemens for review and approval. CTI shall include any additional information regarding the prospective customer or the order that Siemens reasonably may request.

3.3 Acceptance of Purchase Orders. All Purchase Orders submitted by CTI are subject to acceptance in writing by Siemens in accordance with its corporate policy. Siemens shall determine whether or not it will accept a Purchase Order within two (2) business days of receiving the Purchase Order and any additional information from CTI. Siemens promptly thereafter shall deliver notice of its decision in writing to CTI. Siemens shall be obligated to accept all Purchase Orders submitted by CTI that have been approved through the Siemens standard order acceptance process, which applies for all business conducted by Siemens in the Territory. If the Purchase Order requires financing, then the Purchase Order will be conditionally accepted based on financing approval.

* Omitted information is the subject of a request for confi ential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.4 Sales Revenue. Sales revenue under this Agreement shall accrue to Siemens in full, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

3.5 Installation and Training. Siemens shall be responsible for installation and initial applications training through formal customer acceptance of the sold CPS Products. CTI agrees to provide installation support and initial applications training during the first six (6) months of the term of this Agreement, at a price to be mutually agreed by CTI and Siemens. Pricing shall be comparable to current pricing presently offered by CTI and/or Siemens. Wherever possible during the first six (6) months of the term of this Agreement, the party awarded the Service Contract for a CPS Product under the provisions of Article 7 will perform installation and training; and, if such party is CTI, then Siemens will pay to CTI $* per CPS Product, equal to the first-year warranty labor credit extended to Siemens under the provisions of the Distribution Agreement.

3.6 Backlog. The completion of firm Purchase Orders which have been executed by the customer prior to the Effective Date but for which delivery has not yet taken place (the "BACKLOG ORDERS") shall be carried out by Siemens or hCTI, whichever originally entered into the Purchase Order.

3.7 Sales Funnel. On or before June 1, 2004, representatives of CTI and Siemens shall review all unexpired quotes that are in the course of being negotiated by CTI that were outstanding as of the Effective Date (the "FUNNEL ORDERS"). CTI shall enter into all Funnel Orders, from time to time after the Effective Date, in the ordinary course of business. Based on its review of the Funnel Orders with CTI, Siemens shall select such of the Funnel Orders as meet Siemens' standards for acceptance, whereupon CTI and Siemens shall work together to effect a transition of the relationship from CTI to Siemens in a manner that meets the individual needs of the customer. CTI shall carry out all Funnel Orders (a) not selected by Siemens in accordance with the foregoing, or (b) selected by Siemens, but as to which a transition approach acceptable to the customer is not achieved.
ARTICLE 4

EXPENSES

4.1 Expenses.

(a) Not later than one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the end of each CTI fiscal year, CTI shall prepare and present to Siemens a proposed annual operating and capital budget (the "BUDGET") for the expenses to be reimbursed by Siemens pursuant to Section 4.1(b) hereof ("REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES") during the following CTI fiscal year. Siemens shall have thirty (30) days in which to review the Budget and communicate any material objections or requested changes to the Budget in writing to CTI in reasonable detail. CTI and Siemens shall work together to promptly respond to any objections and requested changes submitted by Siemens. Siemens and CTI shall mutually agree upon a Budget by no later than June 20 of each year; provided, that if Siemens and CTI are unable to approve a Budget by the beginning of CTI's fiscal year, then until an agreement is reached the Budget for the prior year shall be deemed to be adopted as the Budget for the current year, with each line item, as applicable, in the Budget increased by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) U.S. City Average All Items 1982-84=100 from August of the prior year to August of the current year.

* Omitted information is the subject of a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(b) Siemens shall reimburse CTI for all direct expenses incurred by CTI with respect to the Account Managers employed by CTI who assist in the sales, marketing and account management for the CPS Products and related administrative support personnel (the "ACCOUNT MANAGERS"), including without limitation (i) payroll, wages, salaries and benefits; and (ii) travel, lodging and related expenses; except employment taxes, which will be paid as provided in Section 6.2.

(c) On the tenth (10th) day following the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, CTI shall submit to Siemens an invoice identifying the amount of Reimbursable Expenses incurred in the previous month. Within thirty (30) business days following the date of such invoice, Siemens shall pay to CTI in cash via wire transfer to an account designated by CTI the amount set forth on such invoice.

(d) The expenses to be incurred by Siemens pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not exceed $* for the period from the Effective Date to September 30, 2004.

(e) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, CTI has provided to Siemens, and Siemens has approved, a budget for the fiscal year from October 1, 2004 to September 30, 2005 reflecting annual expenses of not more than $*.

4.2 Evaluation of CRPs.

(a) The Parties agree that the average customer realized prices for the CPS Product configuration set forth on Schedule 4.2 hereof (the "CRPS") will be reviewed no later than October 31, 2004 for the five months ending September 30, 2004 (the "REVIEW PERIOD") in order to determine whether, over the Review

Period, the CRPs on sales of CPS Products in the United States exceed the following target CRPs for substantially similar product configurations:

2-slice PET/CT . . $*

6-slice PET/CT . . $*

16-slice PET/CT . . $*

The Parties agree that the analysis of sales during the Review Period will include only those transactions that were entered into after the transfer price reductions became effective, regardless of shipment date. In the event the average CRPs exceed the target CRPs set forth above for CPS Products installed in the United States, Siemens and CTI shall each receive 50% of such excess with such payment, if any, to be made within thirty (30) days of the turnover and acceptance by customer. A similar review will be conducted each fiscal quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing October 1, 2004. The parties agree that the target CRPs will be reduced dollar-for-dollar with any transfer price reductions implemented after the initial transfer price reduction referred to in Sections 2.7 and 2.8 hereof.

* Omitted information is the subject of a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(b) Transfer Price Relief to Luminaries. Siemens and CPS acknowledge that certain sales to key accounts and other key market opportunities ("luminaries") may from time to time necessitate a further reduction in CRPs for commercial reasons. The parties agree that CPS shall be free to reduce its transfer prices within the limited scope of making sales to such luminaries, such decision to be based upon reasonable business factors. Accordingly, the parties agree that CRPs arising from such transactions shall be excluded from the calculation contemplated in Section 4.2(a) above. The CRPs for all sales of PET and PET/CT products in multi-modality deals where the CPS volume is less than *% of the total order volume also will be excluded from the calculation contemplated in Section 4.2(a) above. The Parties shall designate one representative from each of their finance organizations to evaluate and agree on those transactions that should be excluded from the foregoing calculation. In the event the finance teams fail to agree, the disputed transactions shall be escalated to the President of each Party for a decision, prior to submission to arbitration in accordance with Section 12.1 of this Agreement. In order to facilitate proactive decision making, once per fiscal quarter the combined Siemens and CTI sales forces will develop a list of the luminary accounts to be targeted, as a 12-month rolling forecast.

4.3 Inspection. CTI shall have the right, exercisable twice per fiscal year upon five (5) business days notice to Siemens, to inspect at Siemens' headquarters for a period of no longer than three (3) business days the customer account information, financial records, service contracts, books, reports, and other documents prepared, maintained or retained by Siemens that support the calculation of CRPs contemplated in Section 4.2 hereof and the additional payments, if any, to be made, as well as the allocation of service contracts contemplated in Section 7.1 below. If Siemens reasonably determines that the dates initially chosen by CTI to perform the inspection would unreasonably interfere with Siemens's business, then Siemens and CTI shall select new dates for the inspection by mutual agreement. CTI agrees that it shall hold in confidence and treat as confidential all confidential information received from Siemens pursuant to this Section 4.3 and shall only use and disclose such information on a need-to-know basis in connection with the business relations between CTI and Siemens, for financial and planning purposes, to resolve disputes between the parties regarding the allocation of Service Contracts or the amount owed to CTI pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Agreement.
