OBLIGATIONS OF CYTOMEDIX
Section 2.1 Supply of Procuren. During the Term, subject to

quantities of Procuren as to supply one hundred percent (100%) of Curative's
total requirements for Procuren in the Procuren States for use in connection
with Curative's wound care centers, all on the terms and conditions herein.
Section 2.2 Net Loss Procuren States.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 2.1, Cytomedix shall,
subject to Section 2.2(d) below, have no obligation to supply
Procuren to Curative in any Procuren State in which,
2
during any two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, Cytomedix's
Blood Processing Facilities Costs in connection with the
Procuren Operations in such state have exceeded the revenue
received by Cytomedix in connection with the sale of Procuren
to Curative in such state (such difference, the "Procuren
State Deficiency") (any such state, a "Net-Loss Procuren
State").
(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.1, Cytomedix shall,
subject to Section 2.2(e) below, have no obligation to supply
Procuren to Curative in any or all of the Procuren States, in
the event that, during any two (2) consecutive calendar
quarters, the sum of (i) the Blood Processing Facilities Costs
in the Procuren States, plus the Technical Costs and Expenses,
have exceeded (ii) the revenue received by Cytomedix in
connection with the sale of Procuren to Curative in the
Procuren States (such difference, the "National Deficiency")
(any state designated by Cytomedix pursuant to the terms of
this Section 2.2(b), a "Designated Net-Loss Procuren State");
provided, however, that Cytomedix may only designate Procuren
States as Designated Net-Loss Procuren States to the extent
that, during the previous two (2) calendar quarters, the
revenue received by Cytomedix from the sale of Procuren in the
Procuren States not designated as Designated Net-Loss Procuren
States does not exceed (a) the Blood Processing Costs and
Expenses in the Procuren States not designated as Designated
Net-Loss Procuren States, plus (b) the Technical Costs and
Expenses.
(c) Within thirty (30) days after the end of each
calendar quarter, Cytomedix shall provide Curative with
written notice of any Procuren State (such notice, the
"Net-Loss Notice") that is a Net-Loss Procuren State or a
Designated Net-Loss Procuren State based upon the results of
the previous two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, together
with written documentation showing the basis upon which such
determination has been made. At such time, Cytomedix shall
have no further obligation to supply Procuren to Curative in
such Net-Loss Procuren State or Designated Net-Loss Procuren
State, as the case may be, except as set forth in Sections
2.2(d) and 2.2(e) below; provided, however, that Cytomedix
shall be obligated to supply Procuren pursuant to any Orders
already submitted by Curative.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), Cytomedix shall
be obligated to continue to supply Procuren in any Net-Loss
Procuren State, in the event that, within fifteen (15) days of
Curative's receipt of the Net-Loss Notice:
(i) Curative pays Cytomedix the amount of
the Procuren State Deficiency with respect to the two
(2) previous calendar quarters. In such event,
Cytomedix shall be obligated to supply Procuren to
Curative in such Net-Loss Procuren State until such
time, if any, that Curative elects not to pay the
amount of any Procuren State Deficiency with respect
to the two (2) previous calendar quarters (to the
extent not already paid by Curative pursuant to an
earlier Net-Loss Notice) pursuant to a subsequent
Net-Loss Notice; or
(ii) Curative notifies Cytomedix in writing
that the exclusive supply obligation set forth in
Section 2.3 below will no longer apply with respect
to such Net-Loss Procuren State and that Cytomedix
may sell Procuren to any person in such state.
3
(e) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b), Cytomedix shall
be obligated to continue to supply Procuren in any Designated
Net-Loss Procuren State in the event that, within fifteen (15)
days of Curative's receipt of the Net-Loss Notice:
(i) Curative pays Cytomedix the amount of
the National Deficiency, with respect to the two (2)
previous calendar quarters. In such event, Cytomedix
shall be obligated to supply Procuren to Curative in
such Designated Net-Loss Procuren State until such
time, if any, that Curative elects not to pay the
amount of any National Deficiency with respect to the
two (2) previous calendar quarters (to the extent not
already paid by Curative pursuant to an earlier
Net-Loss Notice) pursuant to a subsequent Net-Loss
Notice; or
(ii) Curative notifies Cytomedix in writing
that the exclusive supply obligation set forth in
Section 2.3 below will no longer apply with respect
to such Designated Net-Loss Procuren State and that
Cytomedix may sell Procuren to any person in such
state.
(f) Nothing contained herein to the contrary, in the
event that there are any consents to assignment with respect
to the real property leases relating to the Facilities that
have not been obtained at Closing (as defined in the Asset
Purchase Agreement) and the owner of the real property has
delivered a notice to vacate or similar instrument to
Cytomedix and Cytomedix has relocated from such Facility as
the result thereof, Cytomedix shall have no obligation to
supply Curative with Procuren in such state until such time
that Cytomedix is able to relocate such Facility and resume at
a new Facility the Procuren Operations as were previously
conducted.
Section 2.3 Exclusive Supply Obligation. During the Term,
Cytomedix shall not sell or distribute Procuren to any person in the United
States other than Curative; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction
shall not apply to the distribution of Procuren by Cytomedix to any third party
in connection with any Clinical Trial. Nothing in this Agreement restricts the
ability of Cytomedix to sell or distribute Procuren in any country other than
the United States. The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall terminate upon FDA
approval of Procuren, if any.
Section 2.4 Protocols. During the Term, Cytomedix shall
furnish Curative with all the necessary protocols and procedures relating to
Procuren at such time as such protocols and procedures become available.

sole discretion of Cytomedix and shall be payable as set forth in Section 3.2
below; provided, however, that prior to the receipt of FDA approval of Procuren,
if any, if the Purchase Price exceeds the Procuren Costs, Cytomedix shall rebate
such difference to Curative either by cash payment or credit against the Monthly
Charges as defined in Section 3.2 below.
Section 3.2 Payment. Cytomedix shall send Curative an invoice
on a monthly basis, in arrears, for the Procuren supplied to Curative and any

report showing the calculation of the Monthly Charges for such month. Curative
shall
4
pay the Monthly Charges to Cytomedix within thirty (30) days of the date of
invoice therefor. If the Monthly Charges remain unpaid after thirty (30) days of
the date of invoice, interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at the lower of
(a) fifteen percent (15%) per annum, or (b) the highest rate permitted by law,
until paid.
Section 3.3 Cancellation; Unsuitability for Use.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 3.3(b) or 3.3(c)

patients as the result of any action or inaction by Curative,
Curative shall reimburse Cytomedix for all indirect and direct
costs incurred by Cytomedix in connection with the manufacture
of such Procuren.
(b) If any Procuren supplied hereunder is unsuitable
for the treatment of patients as the result of any action or
inaction by Cytomedix, Curative shall have no obligation to
pay the Purchase Price with respect to such Procuren.
(c) If any Procuren supplied hereunder is unsuitable
for the treatment of patients and the parties are unable to
determine the cause of such unsuitability, Curative shall pay
fifty percent (50%) all indirect and direct costs incurred by
Cytomedix in connection with the manufacture of such Procuren.
(d) In any such event, any adjustment to the Purchase
Price shall be reflected in the invoice sent by Cytomedix to
Curative pursuant to Section 3.2.
Section 3.4 Taxes. In addition to the prices and charges
specified herein, the amount of any present or future sales, use, excise,
personal property, duty, ad valorem or similar tax or assessment (other than
taxes based on Cytomedix's net income) applicable to the sale of the Procuren
hereunder to Curative shall be paid by Curative when due. If Curative is exempt
from sales tax by its status as a distributor, Curative shall provide evidence
of a sales tax exemption certificate or reseller's registration number.
ARTICLE IV.

Procuren by submitting a written order (the "Order") to Cytomedix for the
purchase of Procuren which shall specify or contain (a) the quantity of units to

for the manufacture of Procuren is received by Cytomedix or such other time
period as set forth in Exhibit 5.1 hereof), (c) the address for shipment, and
(d) such other information reasonably requested by Cytomedix, together with
sufficient quantities of the blood of the patient necessary for the manufacture
of Procuren. In all such cases, such blood shall be shipped by Curative to

Freight charges shall be paid by Cytomedix. Title and risk of
5
loss with respect to the Procuren supplied hereunder shall pass to Curative at
the point of delivery at the address specified in the Order. In the event
Cytomedix fails to deliver Procuren within the time period set forth above and
the Procuren is unsuitable for treatment as the result of such delay or if any
Procuren supplied by Cytomedix is otherwise unsuitable for treatment as the
result of any action or inaction by Cytomedix, (a) Curative shall have no
obligation to pay the Purchase Price in connection with the Order of such
Procuren as set forth in Section 3.3(b), and (b) if Curative submits another
Order for the same patient, Cytomedix shall promptly redeliver Procuren with
respect to such patient for the Purchase Price and on the other terms and
conditions herein. Cytomedix's obligation to redeliver Procuren as set forth
above shall be Curative's sole remedy in the event any Procuren supplied

other action or inaction by Cytomedix.
Section 4.3 Notification. Each party shall provide the other
party with notice of any adverse experience involving Procuren resulting in
serious injury or death as soon as possible but in any event within twenty-four
(24) hours after such party receives notice of such occurrence, whether in the

third party.
Section 4.4 Transportation of Blood and Procuren. Curative
acknowledges and agrees that until such time, if any, that Procuren receives FDA
approval (or such earlier time that Cytomedix provides written notice that the
restrictions of this Section 4.4 no longer apply), Curative shall not transport
Procuren across the border of any state for any reason whatsoever.
Section 4.5 Product Labeling. In order to comply with
applicable law and in order to protect Cytomedix from claims and liabilities,
Curative's communications and representations to customers shall be true,
accurate, complete and consistent with the labeling of Procuren. Curative shall
not modify, repackage, adulterate, misbrand, alter or add labels to or remove

Section 9.3 below, shall be incorporated into the definition of Procuren patents
and know-how included within the Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase

9
Section 11.3 Procedure for Indemnification - Third Party
Claims.
(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under Section 11.1 or 11.2 of notice of the commencement of
any proceeding ("Proceeding") against it by a third party,
such indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against
an indemnifying party under such Sections, give notice to the
indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, but
the failure to notify the indemnifying party does not relieve
the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to
any indemnified party, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such
action is prejudiced by the indemnified party's failure to
give such notice.
(b) If an indemnified party gives notice to the
indemnifying party of the commencement of a Proceeding
referred to in Section 11.3(a), the indemnifying party is
entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent
that it wishes to assume the defense of such Proceeding with
counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after
notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of
its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the
indemnifying party is not, as long as it diligently conducts
such defense, liable to the indemnified party under this
Article XI for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses
with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection
with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable
costs of investigation (unless (i) the indemnifying party is
also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party
determines in good faith that joint representation would be
inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide
reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial
capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification
with respect to such Proceeding). If the indemnifying party
assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (x) it will be
conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that
the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and
subject to indemnification; (y) no compromise or settlement of
such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without
the indemnified party's consent unless (A) there is no finding
or admission of any violation of legal requirements or any
violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any
other claims that may be made against the indemnified party,
and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are
paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (z) the
indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any
compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its
consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the
commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does
not, within ten (10) days after the indemnified party's notice
is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election
to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying
party will be bound by any determination made in such
Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the
indemnified party.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified
party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable
probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it other
than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the
indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party,
assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle
such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound
by any determination of a Proceeding so defended for the
purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement
effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably
withheld).
10
Section 11.4 Procedure For Indemnification - Other Claims. A
claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may
be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
Section 11.5 Survival. The provisions of this Article XI
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XII.

Sections 12.2 or 12.3 below, this Agreement commences upon the Effective Date

a Triggering Event (such period, the "Term"). For purposes of this Section 12.1,
a "Triggering Event" constitutes any reasonable determination by Cytomedix that
FDA approval of Procuren is not likely to be obtained. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon the receipt of FDA approval of Procuren, if any, the Term
extends for a period of one (1) year from the date of FDA approval and
thereafter may be extended for successive terms of one (1) year each upon the
mutual consent of the parties hereto.
Section 12.2 Termination by Cytomedix. Cytomedix may terminate
this Agreement:
(a) If Curative fails to pay any amounts owed
hereunder when due and does not cure such non-payment within
thirty (30) days thereof; or
(b) Upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Curative, if Curative breaches any of its other material
obligations hereunder and fails to cure such breach by the end
of such thirty (30) day period.
Section 12.3 Termination by Curative. Curative may terminate
this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Cytomedix, if
Cytomedix breaches any of its other material obligations hereunder and fails to
cure such breach by the end of such thirty (30) day period. In addition,
Curative may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon ninety (90) days'
prior written notice to Cytomedix.
Section 12.4 Termination or Modification in the Event of
Governmental Action. If the parties receive notice of any Governmental Action,
the parties shall attempt in good faith to amend this Agreement in order to
comply with the Governmental Action. If the parties, acting in good faith, are
unable to agree to amendments necessary to comply with the Governmental Action
or if the parties determine in good faith that compliance with the Governmental
Action is impossible or unfeasible, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of
ten (10) days after written notice thereof by either party. Neither party shall
be in breach of this Agreement or liable to the other party as the result of the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.4. In addition,
nothing contained herein to the contrary, Cytomedix shall have no obligation to
supply Procuren to Curative in, and this Agreement shall otherwise terminate
with respect to, any Procuren State in which (a) Cytomedix determines in good
faith that it is impossible or unfeasible to supply Procuren to Curative
hereunder as the result of any Governmental Action or (b) Cytomedix otherwise
determines in good faith that the continued operation of the Procuren Operations
therein would result in Cytomedix being in violation of any applicable law,
regulation, rule or other legal requirement applicable to it. Cytomedix shall
promptly notify Curative of such determination with respect to any Procuren
State.
11
Section 12.5 Remedies upon Termination. Termination of this
Agreement shall not limit either party from pursuing any other remedies
otherwise available to it, including, without limitation, injunctive relief.
Section 12.6 Effect of Termination. In the event of notice of
termination, each party shall continue to perform its obligations hereunder up
to the date of termination. Upon termination, except as otherwise provided
herein, the obligations of the parties hereunder shall cease; provided, however,
that Cytomedix shall be obligated to supply Procuren pursuant to any Orders
received by Cytomedix prior to the date of termination. Following termination of
this Agreement, Curative shall promptly pay Cytomedix any money then due and
owing upon receipt of invoice therefor.

Section 13.6 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to
this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any
delay by any party in exercising any right under this Agreement operates as a
waiver of such right, and no single or partial exercise of any such right
precludes any other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of any
other right. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or
right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or
in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing
signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be
applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no
notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation
of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take
further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.
Section 13.7 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement
and the Asset Purchase Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all
prior written and oral agreements and understandings between the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be
amended except by a written agreement signed on behalf of each of the parties
hereto.
Section 13.8 Assignment. No party to this Agreement may
assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of its rights, duties, or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party
hereto; provided, however, that (a) either party may assign, transfer, or
otherwise dispose of any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder to any
of its Affiliates without the prior
13
consent of the other party, and (b) Cytomedix may subcontract any of its
manufacturing obligations hereunder (provided that in any such case the
assigning or subcontracting party shall continue to be liable for its
obligations hereunder), provided that no such assignment or delegation pursuant
to clauses (a) or (b) shall relieve either party from any of its obligations
hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors
and assigns.
Section 13.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement
is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the
other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect. The parties
further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held
invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the laws governing this Agreement,
they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this
Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and, to
the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace
any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a
valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.
Section 13.10 No Third Party Beneficiary. No provision of this
Agreement shall create, or be deemed to create, any legal or equitable right in
any person not a party to this Agreement or give any such person any claim
against any party to this Agreement that such party would not have but for this
Agreement.
Section 13.11 Section Headings; Construction. The headings of
Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and
will not affect its construction or interpretation. All words used in this
Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the context
requires. The language used in the Agreement shall be construed, in all cases,
according to its fair meaning, and not for or against any party hereto. The
parties acknowledge that each party has reviewed this Agreement and that rules
of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be available in the interpretation of this
Agreement.
Section 13.12 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement is
to be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York without
regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of any
other law. The parties agree that the state and federal courts located in New
York County, New York, shall be the sole venue and shall have sole jurisdiction
for the resolution of all disputes arising hereunder.
Section 13.13 Execution of Agreement, Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken
together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange
of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission
shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the
parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes.
Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile shall be deemed to be their
original signatures for any purpose whatsoever.
