conditions and restrictions:

(a) Applicable MAKO personnel shall provide reasonable services at no charge (but
subject to the Consulting Conditions) to assist during the Transition Period, including,
without limitation, (i) providing specific instructions to any Z-KAT nominee dedicated by

acquainting such Nominee with all information required to fulfill such commercial orders in
compliance with known applicable regulatory requirement (if any) and (ii) identifying for

(b) Z-KAT will remove all assets and inventory from MAKO’s facility by the conclusion
of the Transition Period.
