Urologix is duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation and authorized to do business in all jurisdictions wherein the character of the property owned or leased, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, makes such qualification or authorization necessary except where failure to be so qualified does not have, or, is not reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect (tangible or intangible) on its business, assets, liabilities or financial condition (a “Material Adverse Effect”). Urologix has the corporate power, and has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action, to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby (the “Ancillary Agreements”), and to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
b. Authorization. The execution and delivery by Urologix of the Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the performance by Urologix of its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements do not and will not (i) violate any law, rule, regulation, or court order to which Urologix is subject; (ii) assuming consent is received from SVB, conflict with or result in a breach of Urologix’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or any material agreement or instrument to which Urologix is a party or by which any of its properties are bound, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, or encumbrance on any property of Urologix, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than liens in favor of Medtronic granted under the Security Agreement.
c. Validity. The Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements have each been duly executed and delivered by Urologix and constitute the legal, valid and binding
4
obligations of Urologix, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
d. Governmental Consents. No material consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any court, arbitrational tribunal, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency (each of the foregoing is hereafter referred to as a “Governmental Entity”) is required on the part of Urologix in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Note or the other transactions to be consummated at the Closing and such filings required to be made after the Closing under applicable federal and state securities laws and the filing of UCC-1 financing statements by Medtronic in the applicable jurisdictions covering the Collateral (as that term is defined in the Security Agreement), all of which filings have or will be made in a timely manner.
e. Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding, or governmental inquiry or investigation, pending, or, to Urologix’s knowledge, any threat thereof, against Urologix that (i) questions the validity of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the right of Urologix to enter into or to consummate the transactions contemplated by such agreements, or (ii) to Urologix’s knowledge, would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
f. Financial Statements. Urologix’s audited financial statements as of June 30, 2012 (including balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows) and its unaudited balance sheet and statement of operations as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except that the unaudited Financial Statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP and are subject to normal year-end adjustments. The audited Financial Statements and, to the best of Urologix’s knowledge, the unaudited Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of Urologix as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein. Urologix has no material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and (iii) liabilities and obligations of a type or nature not required under GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in all such cases, individually and in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
g. Taxes. Urologix has timely filed or obtained presently effective extensions with respect to all Tax Returns (as defined below) that are or were required to be filed by it, such Tax Returns are complete and accurate in all material respects and all Taxes (as defined below) shown thereon to be due have been timely paid. All Taxes (as defined below) that Urologix is or was required by law to have withheld or collected have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been timely paid to the proper Governmental Entity except where failure to withhold, collect or pay is likely not to have a Material Adverse Effect.

14. Advice of Counsel. Each of the Parties has obtained such counsel as each deems appropriate before entering into this Agreement, and each has independently determined to enter into this Agreement.
12
15. Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, this Agreement, and the Ancillary Agreements (including, without limitation, any and all exhibits, schedules, certificates, instruments and documents attached hereto or thereto or executed expressly in connection herewith or therewith) represent the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof which cannot be modified except in writing signed by the Parties.
16. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If, however, any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such applicable Ancillary Agreements, unless the remaining provisions do not reflect the intent of the parties in entering into this Agreement or such applicable Ancillary Agreements.
17. Public Announcements. Urologix shall not issue any press releases, make any public announcement or statement without the consent of Medtronic, except for announcements, filings, or registrations which may be required by applicable law.
18. Parties in Interest. All representations, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all representations, covenants and agreements benefiting Medtronic, unless otherwise herein or therein provided, shall inure to the benefit of any and all subsequent holders from time to time of the Note and all such holders shall be bound by all of the obligations of Medtronic hereunder.
19. Headings. The bold-faced headings at the beginning of each paragraph are for convenience only and are not intended to be part of the substance of this Agreement; any perceived inconsistencies between the heading and the text are to be governed exclusively by the text.
20. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by each Party in this Agreement and Ancillary Agreements or in any agreement, certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, any of which may be executed and delivered via facsimile or other electronic delivery, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
22. Expenses. Except as expressly provided herein, the Parties shall each pay their own expenses incident to this Agreement and the documents executed and delivered in
13
connection herewith and the preparation for, and consummation of, the transactions provided for herein and therein.
23. Acknowledgement. Urologix acknowledges that the Outstanding Invoices represent amounts due and owing to Medtronic for inventory purchased from Medtronic. Medtronic acknowledges that the Outstanding Payable Amount represents the entire outstanding amount owed by Urologix for inventory purchased from Medtronic prior to the date hereof.
