3.6 Exempt Transactions. Subject to the accuracy of Angiotech’s representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities in conformity with the terms of this Agreement constitute transactions exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and from the registration or qualification requirements of the laws of any applicable state jurisdiction.

3.9 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its properties before or by any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable likelihood (in the judgment of the Company) of an adverse decision that (a) would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s properties or assets or the business of the Company as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted, or (b) would impair the ability of the Company to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement. The Company is not in default with respect to any judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency or instrumentality that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, financial condition or business of the Company.

Neither the execution and delivery of, nor the performance or compliance with, this Agreement and the transactions
4
contemplated hereby, will, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, (i) result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon any asset or property of the Company pursuant to any agreement or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties, assets or rights is bound or effected, except for such breach or default or the imposition of any such lien or encumbrance that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, financial condition or business of the Company, or (ii) violate the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any other organizational documents of the Company or any law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree. The Company is not in violation of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws nor in violation of or in default under, any lien, indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement, instrument, commitment or arrangements, except for such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, financial condition or business of the Company, or subject to any restriction that would prohibit the Company from entering into or performing its obligations under the Agreement.
3.11 Brokers or Finders. No natural or legal person has or will have, as a result of any act or omission of the Company, any right, interest or valid claim against Angiotech for any commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or broker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.12 Contracts. The contracts so described in the SEC Documents or incorporated by reference therein are in full force and effect on the date hereof, except for contracts the termination or expiration of which would, individually or in the aggregate, not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or assets of the Company, and the Company is not, nor to the Company’s knowledge, is any other party in breach of or default under any of such contracts. The SEC Documents describe or incorporate by reference all material contracts to which the Company is a party.

3.14 Compliance. The Company has not been advised and has no reason to believe that it is not conducting business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business; except where failure to be so in compliance would not materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise), business, results of operations or prospects of the Company.

4.2 Investment Experience. Angiotech is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Angiotech is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Angiotech has such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Securities.
4.3 Investment Intent. Angiotech is acquiring the Securities for its own account as principal, and not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes only, and not with a present view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, within the meaning of the Securities Act. Angiotech understands that the offer and sale of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state
6
securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of its investment intent as expressed herein. Angiotech will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities except in compliance with the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
4.4 Registration or Exemption Requirements. Angiotech further acknowledges and understands that the Securities may not be resold or otherwise transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Angiotech understands that the certificate(s) evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits the transfer of such securities unless (i) they are registered or such registration is not required, and (ii) if the transfer is pursuant to an exemption from registration other than Rule 144 under the Securities Act and, if the Company shall so request in writing, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company is obtained to the effect that the transaction is so exempt.
4.5 Shareholding Restriction. Angiotech represents that it will at no time own more than 19.9 percent (19.9%) of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the License Agreement, or the exercise of that certain warrant issued in favor of Angiodevice International GmbH dated of even date herewith (the “Warrant”), with such ownership percentage calculated as of the time of each potential issuance. Angiotech acknowledges that it may not be able to exercise certain rights under this Agreement or the Warrant if during the term of the Agreement or the Warrant such exercise would bring its ownership percentage of the Company’s capital stock to twenty percent (20%) or greater of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock.

Registration Rights
7.1 Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933. None of the Common Stock issued to Angiotech pursuant to Sections 1.1 or 1.2 hereof or following the exercise of the Warrant (the “Shares”) have been registered for purposes of public distribution under the Securities Act.
7.2 Registrable Securities. As used herein the term “Registrable Security” means each of the Shares, and any shares of Common Stock issued upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect of such Shares; provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination, (i) it has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto, (ii) registration under the Securities Act is no longer required for subsequent public distribution of such security under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise, or (iii) it is no longer held by Angiotech. The term “Registrable Securities” means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a “Registrable Security.” In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of “Registrable Security” as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Section 7.
7.3 Piggyback Registration. If, following the second anniversary of the date hereof and terminating on the seventh anniversary of the date hereof, the Company proposes to prepare and file any new registration statement or post-effective amendments thereto covering equity or debt securities of the Company, or any such securities of the Company held by its shareholders (in any such case, other than in connection with a merger, acquisition or pursuant to Form S-8 or
8
successor form) (for purposes of this Section 7, collectively, the “Registration Statement”), it will give written notice of its intention to do so by certified mail, return receipt requested (“Notice”), at least thirty (30) business days prior to the filing of each such Registration Statement, to Angiotech. Upon the written request of Angiotech, made within twenty (20) business days after receipt by Angiotech of the Notice, that the Company include any of Angiotech’s Registrable Securities in the proposed Registration Statement, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which it has been so requested to register (“Piggyback Registration”), at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to (except as provided in Section 7.4(a) hereof).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, the Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section 7.3 (irrespective of whether any written request for inclusion of Registrable Securities shall have already been made) to elect not to file any such proposed Registration Statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date thereof.
7.4 Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses (other than underwriting fees, discounts and nonaccountable expense allowance applicable to the Registrable Securities and fees and expenses of counsel retained by Angiotech) in connection with all Registration Statements including, without limitation, the Company’s legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses.
(b) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take all necessary action which may be required in qualifying or registering the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as are reasonably requested by Angiotech.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold Angiotech harmless against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities to which it may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by the Registration Statement; and the Company will reimburse Angiotech for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall not apply to
9
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to it expressly for use in connection with such registration by Angiotech.
(d) to the extent permitted by law, Angiotech will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other investor selling securities under the Registration Statement or any of such other investor’s, trustees, partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such investor, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such investor, or trustee, partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other investor may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Angiotech; and Angiotech will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other investor, or trustee, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other investor in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Angiotech, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(e) promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party; and provided further, that if there is more than one indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall pay for the fees and expenses of one counsel for any and all indemnified parties to be mutually agreed upon by such indemnified parties, unless representation of an indemnified party by the counsel retained by the other indemnified parties would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified parties. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying
10
party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section.
(f) if the indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who shall not have been guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Section 8
Restrictions on Transferability of Securities;
Compliance with Securities Act; Voting Agreement
8.1 Restrictions on Transfer. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, Angiotech agrees and covenants that it shall not sell, transfer, encumber or dispose of the Securities, whether by sale, assignment, exchange, gift, bequest, pledge, encumbrance or transfer either by operation of law or any other means.
8.2. First Refusal to Company. If Angiotech decides to effect a transfer of the Securities, it shall first deliver written notice to the Company of such intent to transfer (“Notice of Transfer”), which Notice of Transfer shall specify (i) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred (collectively the “Offered Stock”), (ii) the date of the proposed transfer, which shall not be less than 60 days after the actual receipt of such Notice of Transfer by the Company, (iii) the identity, including the complete name, address and telephone number of the proposed transferee of the Offered Stock (the “Proposed Transferee”), and (iv) the proposed consideration to be received and terms of payment upon such transfer (such consideration and the terms of payment being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Offer Price”). The Notice of Transfer shall be accompanied by a copy of any bona fide written offer made to or received from the Proposed Transferee. Such Notice of Transfer shall constitute an offer to sell and transfer the Offered Stock, in whole or in part, to the Company at the Offer Price, and the date of such offer (the “Offer Date”) shall be the date of actual receipt by the Company of the Notice of Transfer. The Company shall promptly furnish a copy of the Notice
11
of Transfer to all of the members of its Board of Directors and schedule a special or regular meeting of the Board of Directors to evaluate the Company’s capacity to purchase the Offered Stock at the Offer Price. For a period of 30 days after the Offer Date, the Company shall have the right and option (but not the obligation) to elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Stock. If the Company exercises its right and option to purchase in whole or in part the Offered Stock, the Company shall signify such exercise and the number of shares of Offered Stock to be purchased by giving written notice to Angiotech (“Notice of Exercise”) within 30 days after the Offer Date. The Notice of Exercise shall specify that the Company is exercising its right and option to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Stock pursuant to this section 6. Upon such exercise by the Company, Angiotech shall sell and transfer to the Company those shares of Offered Stock with respect to which the option is exercised. Such transfer shall be on terms and conditions identical to those set forth in the Notice of Transfer. Any Notice of Exercise which is mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given when mailed, whether or not Angiotech shall have actually received the Notice of Exercise.
8.3 Failure to Exercise Refusal Right. If the Company does not exercise its rights and options to purchase some or all of the Offered Stock at the Offer Price within the time permitted under Section 6 above, then, within the 60-day period thereafter, Angiotech may transfer to the Proposed Transferee those shares of Offered Stock with respect to which such rights and options were not exercised; provided, however, that such transfer must be made in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of such transfer as set forth in the Notice of Transfer, including, without limitation, the Offer Price. Such transfer shall be made (a) pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements thereof, and (b) in accordance with applicable state law. If such transfer to the Proposed Transferee is not consummated within the 60-day period described in this Section 8.3, the transfer shall not be made and the restrictions of this Agreement shall again apply.
8.4 Drag-Along Right. If the Board of Directors of the Company approves the sale of substantially all of the capital stock or assets of the Company (each a “Merger Transaction”), then the Company shall have the right (the “Drag-Along Right”), to require Angiotech to sell all, but not less than all, of its Securities in favor of such Merger Transaction. The Company may exercise the Drag-Along Right by written notice to Angiotech not later than 30 days prior to the closing of the sale of the Merger Transaction. Such notice shall contain the terms and conditions of such Merger Transaction. Angiotech has executed and delivered a proxy, in the form attached as Exhibit A, in favor of the Company, allowing the Company to vote Angiotech’s Securities in favor of such Merger Transaction.
8.5 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the Securities shall bear substantially the following legend (in addition to any legends required under applicable securities laws):

AMENDMENT TO INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
THIS INVESTMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of April 7, 2005 by and between CABG Medical, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”) with its principal office at 00000 00xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, and Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Angiotech”) with its principal office at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X0X 0X0.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company and Angiotech are parties to that certain Investment Agreement dated as of March 22, 2005 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) the Company agreed to sell to Angiotech, and Angiotech agreed to purchase, 1,100,715 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) Angiotech agreed to make an additional $5 million investment in the Company upon the achievement by the Company of certain milestones set forth therein (the “Second Investment”);
WHEREAS, the parties desire to modify certain provisions regarding the Second Investment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1) Defined Terms. Each capitalized term used herein that is not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Investment Agreement.
2) Calculation of Share Total for First Investment. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Angiotech agreed to purchase $5,000,000 worth of the Company’s common stock at a 15% premium to the closing market price on March 22, 2005, the date of the Investment Agreement. The closing market price on March 22 was $3.95. Therefore, the correct number of shares to be issued to Angiotech was 1,100,715 ($5,000,000 divided by the sum of $3.95 multiplied by 1.15%). While the Investment Agreement contained the correct closing share price and formula, there was an error made in the final calculation of the total number of shares. As a result, in Section 1.1 of the Investment Agreement, the total number of shares was listed as 1,104,972 instead of the correct total of 1,100,715. The Investment Agreement is hereby amended to replace the number 1,104,972 with the correct number, 1,100,715.
3) Limitation on Maximum Number of Shares to be Issued to Angiotech pursuant to the Investment Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1.2 of the Investment Agreement, Angiotech agreed to make an additional $5,000,000 investment in the Company at a 15% premium to the closing market price on the date the Company achieves the Net Sales Milestone. NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 4350(i), however, requires shareholder approval for any present or potential issuance of common stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares or common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock. On March 22, 2005, the date upon which the Company and Angiotech executed the Investment
Agreement, the Company had 16,372,975 shares of common stock outstanding, representing all of its issued and outstanding capital stock as of that date. Pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Investment Agreement, the Company issued Angiotech 1,100,715 shares on March 22, 2005. In order to ensure continued compliance with Rule 4350(i), under no circumstances will the Company issue Angiotech more than 2,173,878 shares at the Second Closing (calculated by multiplying 16,372,975, the Company’s outstanding shares as of March 22, 2005, by 19.999% (which equals 3,274,593 shares), less the 1,100,715 shares issued to Angiotech on March 22, 2005).
4) Miscellaneous. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Investment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed as original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Amendment to Investment Agreement to be executed in a manner appropriate for each and to be dated as of the date first above written.
