(b) Design Specifications. The Company will document the design specifications and changes necessary to build the System, and all test results of the System, and will provide such documentation to Bionics along with any other System design modifications necessary for Bionics to manufacture, use, and sell the System. Bionics’ employees and consultants may directly assist with the development of the System and the Company will reasonably cooperate with, and reasonably accept the design suggestions of, Bionics’ personnel.

(c) Validation. Upon the due date of each System Milestone, Bionics may test or have the prototype of the System tested to verify compliance with the requirements of the Systems Milestones and Section 9.1.

9.2 Exclusive License.

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

9.3 Exclusive Negotiation of Subsequent System License. Within five days after the final System Milestone is achieved, the Parties will enter into exclusive negotiations for a license agreement for all or part of the System (the “Subsequent System License”) for a period not to exceed 90 days from the date the Parties enter into negotiations (the “Exclusivity Period”). This right of first negotiation will not obligate either Party to enter into any future agreement or agree upon any particular terms.

9.4 Right of First Refusal. In the event the Parties do not execute and deliver the Subsequent System License within the Exclusivity Period, then, upon the expiration of the Exclusivity Period, the Company may negotiate with other parties.

Bionics will have no further rights to obtain a license for or relating to the System upon the expiration of the ROFR Period.

Section 10. LEAD DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE.

10.1 Lead Development. Working together with Bionics and subject to Section 10.1(c), the Company will provide Bionics with a fully functional prototype of the Lead and demonstrate the proper functionality of the prototype of the Lead to Bionics in an animal or cadaver placed within an MRI machine.

(a) Development Expenses. Bionics will reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses directly associated with the development of the Lead for Bionics (including, without limitation, costs associated with animal studies and human trials), when the Company submits a request to Bionics for approval prior to incurring such expenses and such expenses are incurred with Bionics’ written approval, provided receipts for such expenses are submitted to Bionics within 30 days after such expenses are incurred. Upon receiving a request for expense authorization from the Company, Bionics will indicate to the Company whether the requested expense is authorized within 15 days for expenses up to $1,000 and within 30 days for expenses over $1,000. Bionics will reimburse the Company within 30 days of receiving reasonably detailed invoices describing the Company’s authorized expenses under this Agreement.

(c) Performance Obligations; Breach; Damages. In the event that the Company fails to complete each of the milestones of Section 10.1(b) (“Lead Milestones”) by June 30, 2008, and such failure is not the result of Bionics’ failure to reasonably cooperate with the Company in pursuing the Lead Milestones, the Company will be in breach of this Agreement. Upon receiving written notice of breach under this Section 10.l(c) by Bionics, the Company will have 60 days to cure the breach. If the Company fails to cure the breach within 60 days after receiving notice of such breach, the Company will immediately pay Bionics a sum of money equal to (i) all Lead Milestone payments disbursed to date, plus (ii) all expense reimbursements previously paid by Bionics to the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(a), plus (iii) all patent prosecution costs incurred by Bionics under Section 11.2(a) with respect to Patents (defined below) related to the Lead.

10.2 Exclusive License.

Bionics hereby grants to the

Company an exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license, with right to sublicense, under that transferred Future Intellectual Property outside the field of neuromodulation, to make, use, import, lease, and sell any system, method, or apparatus.

(b) Intellectual Property Re-transfer and Cross-License. Bionics hereby agrees to assign and transfer to the Company joint ownership for all countries in and to the transferred Future Intellectual Property promptly after the Loan Satisfaction Date (“Re-Transfer”).

For the avoidance of doubt, Bionics will not be obligated to pay any Prosecution Costs to protect any Intellectual Property if it determines, in its sole discretion, that those Prosecution Costs outweigh the likely benefits to Bionics.

(c) Company Cooperation. The Company will cooperate with Bionics in filing, prosecuting and maintaining applications and taking such other legal steps as set forth in this Section 11.2 and will execute and deliver any documents and instruments in connection therewith which Bionics may request at no additional cost or expense to Bionics.

Bionics will have 30 days to fulfill the Prosecution Request.

If [***] does not institute an infringement suit within 60 days after [***] written request that it do so, [***] may institute and prosecute such lawsuit.

(a) Costs. [***] will pay all costs, fees, and expenses associated with an infringement action initiated and prosecuted [***]. [***] will pay all costs, fees, and expenses associated with an infringement action initiated and prosecuted [***]. The costs, fees, and expenses associated with an infringement action initiated and prosecuted by both Parties shall be allocated to, and paid by, each Party in a fair and equitable manner mutually determined by the Parties.

(b) Recovery. Any recovery obtained in an action initiated and prosecuted [***]. Any recovery obtained in an action initiated and prosecuted [***].

For value received, SURGI-VISION, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), promises to pay to ADVANCED BIONICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), at its office at 00000 Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum specified on the Schedule of Advances attached to this Note, together with accrued interest from the date of disbursement on the unpaid principal of this Note at the rate set forth in Section 3 hereof. Lender hereby authorizes and directs Company to deliver this Note to Lender’s address set forth at the beginning of this Note. Initially capitalized terms used herein without definition are defined in that certain System and Lead Development and Transfer Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) of even date herewith between Company and Lender.

2. Maturity Date. Unless Lender has previously exercised its Conversion Right (as defined below), the unpaid principal balance of this Note (plus any interest, fees, and other amounts owing under this Note) (collectively, the “Note Balance”) is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The “Maturity Date” is the earliest of (A) the last day of the Negotiation Period or (B) December 31, 2007, regardless of any extensions of the Negotiation Period that Company and Lender may mutually agree on, or (C) the date of an occurrence of an Event of Default. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a business day, payment of the unpaid principal of this Note must be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time will be included in computing any interest in respect of such payment.

3. Interest Rate.

business days after the Maturity Date until the actual date that the entire Note Balance is satisfied (either by (i) Company paying the entire Note Balance in cash, (ii) Lender electing in its sole discretion to convert the entire Note Balance into Conversion Shares (as defined below), or (iii) Lender electing in its sole discretion to convert part of the Note Balance into Conversion Shares and Company paying the entire remaining Note Balance in cash).

(b) All payments of principal and interest due under this Note must be made without deduction of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, which amounts must be paid by Company. Company will pay the amounts necessary such that the gross amount of the principal and interest received by Lender is not less than that required by this Note. If Company is required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any principal or interest payment under this Note, then (i) the sum payable to Lender will be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this provision) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no deductions been made, (ii) Company will make such deductions, and (iii) Company will pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Company will pay all stamp and documentary taxes. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender pays such taxes, Company will reimburse Lender for the amount paid.

If Lender exercises the Conversion Right after Company’s payment in full of the Note Balance, Lender will return to Company that part of the Note Balance that Lender is electing to convert to Conversion Shares within five business days of Lender’s receipt of Company’s payment in full of the Note Balance.

“Conversion Shares” means the aggregate number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock of Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) into which Lender has elected to convert all or part of the Note Balance.

(b) Pricing Terms.

(i)

If Company and Lender have not executed and delivered the Subsequent System License, the number of Conversion Shares will be determined by dividing (A) the amount of the Note Balance to be converted by (B) the lesser of (I) the 10% Conversion Price (as defined below) or (II) if Company consummates a sale of any of its equity securities after the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, a “sale” of equity securities will not include equity securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another entity by Company by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization whereby Company becomes the owner of more than 50% of the voting power of such entity, equity securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities, options or warrants, or equity securities (including derivatives) granted, issued or issuable to employees, officers, directors or consultants pursuant to plans or agreements approved by Company’s board of directors), whether in a single or multiple closings or financings, the average price per share paid for such securities by the purchasers thereof. The term “10% Conversion Price” means, as of a given date, the price per share determined by dividing $1,500,000 by 10% of Company’s Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below).

(ii)

Conversion Calculation with Subsequent System License. If Company and Lender have executed and delivered the Subsequent System License, the number of Conversion Shares will be determined by dividing (A) the amount of the Note Balance to be converted by (B) the lesser of (I) the 5% Conversion Price (as defined below) or (II) if Company consummates a sale of any of its equity securities after the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, a “sale” of equity securities will not include equity securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another entity by Company by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization whereby Company becomes the owner of more than 50% of the voting power of such entity, equity securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities, options or

warrants, or equity securities (including derivatives) granted, issued or issuable to employees, officers, directors or consultants pursuant to plans or agreements approved by Company’s board of directors), whether in a single or multiple closings or financings, the average price per share paid for such securities by the purchasers thereof. The term “5% Conversion Price” means, as of a given date, the price per share determined by dividing $1,500,000 by 5% of Company’s Fully Diluted Shares.

(i)

In order to convert all or any part of the Note Balance, Lender will deliver to Company a written notice stating (A) that Lender has elected to convert all or part of the Note Balance and (B) the amount of the Note Balance to be converted (the “Conversion Notice”).

(ii)

Within five business days after receipt of the Conversion Notice, Company will deliver to Lender a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion; provided that Company will not issue any fractional Conversion Shares. In lieu of Company issuing any fractional shares to Lender or its designees upon conversion, Company will pay to Lender the unconverted amount of the Note Balance specified in the Conversion Notice, such payment to be in the form of a wire transfer or check payable to Lender. Each conversion will be deemed to have been effected immediately before the close of business on the date on which this Note is given to the Company pursuant to Section 14 of this Note. Upon conversion of the entire Note Balance, Company will be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

(d) Changes in Common Stock. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment will be made by Company and Lender to the price at which Conversion Shares are issued and the other provisions of this Note, as may be required, so that the rights and privileges granted hereby will continue with respect to the Conversion Shares as so changed.

(e) Access and Information. Subject to the confidentiality provisions in the Development Agreement, Company will afford to Lender and its accountants, counsel and other representatives full access, upon reasonable request, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to all of Company’s properties, books, accounts, records, contracts, and personnel and, Company will, and will cause its accountants, counsel and other representatives to furnish promptly to Lender and its representatives all information concerning Company’s business, properties and personnel, in each case as Lender or its representatives reasonably requests for the purpose of evaluating the merits and risks of an

investment in Conversion Shares in the event Lender may desire to exercise its Conversion Right; provided, however, that Company reserves the right to withhold any information if access to such information could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between Company and its counsel.

(f) Conversion Shares. Until such time as the Conversion Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, Company will instruct its transfer agent to enter stop transfer orders with respect to such shares and the certificates representing such shares will be endorsed with the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE “BLUE SKY” OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DISTRIBUTED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SALE OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT IS AVAILABLE, AND IF AN EXEMPTION IS AVAILABLE, THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL AT THE HOLDER’S SOLE COST AND EXPENSE STATING THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND OTHER LAWS. THE RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE BINDING ON THE HOLDER HEREOF AND HIS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.”

5. Schedule of Advances. Lender will, and is hereby authorized by Company to, note on the Schedule of Advances annexed to this Note and constituting a part of this Note, the date and amount of each advance, payment or prepayment of all or any portion of the principal sum. Absent manifest error, such notations are conclusive and binding as to the aggregate unpaid principal sum and all other information; provided, however, the failure of Lender to make such a notation will not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Company to repay the outstanding principal amount or any interest accrued or accruing thereon or any other amount payable by Company to Lender hereunder.

6. Prepayment. Prior to the Maturity Date, Company, in its sole discretion, may prepay all or any portion of the Note Balance at any time, provided that (i) Company will give Lender not less than a 30-day prior written notice of its intention to prepay an amount specified in such notice on the date set forth in the notice, and (ii) notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Lender will have the right before the anticipated prepayment date set forth in the notice to exercise its Conversion Right, under the pricing terms contained in Section 4(b)(i) of this Note, to convert all or part of the amount to be prepaid into Conversion Shares, in which case the prepayment notice will have no further force or effect regarding the amount to be converted.

7. Lawful Money. Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

8. Applications of Payments; Late Charges.

(a) Payments received by Lender hereunder will be applied first to costs and expenses, then to interest and finally to principal unless Lender elects otherwise in its sole discretion.

(b) If any payment of principal or interest is not paid when due, such late payment will bear interest at the Default Rate from the day such payment was due until it is paid. In addition, if any payment is five or more days overdue, Lender will have the option to assess a late charge of $0.03 cents for each dollar so overdue. In connection therewith, Company and Lender agree as follows:

(i)

Because of such late payment, Lender will incur certain costs and expenses including, without limitation, administrative costs, collection costs, loss of interest, and other direct and indirect costs in an uncertain amount;

(ii)

It would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the exact amount of such costs in such event;

(iii)

The late charge is a reasonable and good faith estimate of such costs; and

(iv)

Such late charge will constitute liquidated damages caused by such failure to make a payment of interest or principal when due but only to the extent such late charge is assessed by Lender, paid by Company and accepted by Lender and only upon the condition that such failure is completely cured concurrently with such payment.

The application of the Default Rate or the assessment of a late charge to any such late payment as described in this Section 8(b) will not be interpreted or deemed to extend the period for payment or otherwise limit any of Lender’s remedies under this Note, the Security Agreement, the Development Agreement, or the License Agreement.

9. Security. This Note is a secured obligation of Company as set forth in the Security Agreement of even date herewith between Company and Lender (the “Security Agreement”).

10. Covenants of Company.

One Bank of 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 in the principal amount of $690,000 due December 1, 2006 (the “Trust One Bank Note”), (ii) to pay direct costs and expenses associated with the development of the System and/or the Lead and (iii) to pay to Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx, PLC and Xxxxx Bigel Sibley & Sajovec an aggregate amount no greater than $40,000 to cover Company’s actual costs and expenses associated with the negotiation and documentation of this Note, the Security Agreement, the Development Agreement, the License Agreement and the Other Agreements. Company acknowledges that some costs and expenses incurred by Company, such as salaries and consulting fees, may relate both to the development of the System and/or the Lead and to other activities of Company. With respect to such costs and expenses, Company will determine, subject to Lender’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, which percentage of the cost or expense is associated with the development of the System and/or the Lead, for which Company will be permitted to use proceeds of this Note, and which percentage is associated with other activities of Company, for which Company will not be permitted to use proceeds of this Note.

(b) No Senior Debt. So long as this Note is outstanding, Company will not incur on or after the Closing Date any indebtedness for borrowed money that is not expressly subordinated to this Note, without the prior written consent of Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the phrase “indebtedness for borrowed money” will not include ordinary-course obligations to trade creditors.

(c) No Liens or Encumbrances. So long as this Note is outstanding, without the prior written consent of Lender, Company will not (a) pledge or otherwise encumber or permit the encumbrance of any of its assets, including the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement); (b) merge or consolidate with any entity, or dissolve; (c) declare, make or pay any distribution or dividend to its stockholders; (d) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial portion of its assets; or (e) engage in any business other than that in which it is presently engaged. Lender may grant or withhold its consent in its sole discretion. Any grant of that consent will give the Lender the right to exercise the Conversion Right for all or any part of the Note Balance under the pricing terms contained in Section 4(b)(i).

11. Defaults and Remedies.

(a) Events of Default. Each of the following events constitutes an event of default (“Event of Default”):

(i)

if any representation or warranty made by Company in this Note, the Security Agreement, the Development Agreement, the License Agreement or in any report, certificate, financial statement or other instrument furnished in connection with this Note, is false, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect when made or when deemed made hereunder.

(ii)

any default in the payment of any principal or interest under this Note within five days after date when due hereunder, whether upon the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise;

(iii)

any default by Company in the prompt and complete fulfillment of any of its covenants and obligations under this Note, the Security Agreement, the Development Agreement, the License Agreement, or any and all other agreements and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith (the “Other Agreements”) (other than those covenants and obligations referred to in clause (ii) above or clause (vi) below), if such default is not remedied within 15 days after an officer of Company becomes aware of the factual circumstances giving rise to such default;

(iv)

if Company: (A) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of it or any of its properties, (B) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, (C) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (D) is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent or is the subject of an order for relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any successor thereto, or (E) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute, or an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding under any such law, or (F) takes or permits to be taken any action in furtherance of or for purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

(v)

if any order, judgment or decree will be entered, without the application, approval or consent of Company, by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition seeking reorganization of Company, or appointing a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of Company, or of all or any substantial part of its assets, and such order, judgment or decree will continue unstayed and in effect for any period of 60 days;

(vi)

if the Company fails to meet, by the required date, any System Milestone or Lead Milestone, which failure is not remedied within 15 days following Lender’s written notice to Company; or

(vii)

in the event Lender reasonably believes that Company will be unable to perform its obligations under this Note, Lender may request in writing reasonable assurances of further performance from Company. If, within 15 days from such written request, Company fails to give such assurances reasonably showing its ability to perform, Lender may declare an Event of Default. For avoidance of doubt, Lender’s reasonable belief of Company’s inability to perform its obligations under this Note must be based on a fact or circumstance that occurs or changes after the date of this Note and results in a material adverse effect upon

the Company’s financial condition. The foregoing is without any derogation of rights under applicable law to demand further assurances and address anticipatory breaches.

(b) Remedies.

(i)

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at all times thereafter during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) this Note will, in Lender’s sole discretion and upon Lender’s written notice to Company, become immediately due and payable, as to principal and interest, without presentment, demand, protest, notice or other requirement of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding (except in the case of any event described in Sections ll(a)(iv) and (v) of this Note, the occurrence of which will automatically effect acceleration, regardless of any action or forbearance in respect of any prior or ongoing default or Event of Default which may be inconsistent with such automatic acceleration), (b) Lender may file suit against Company on this Note and/or seek specific performance or injunctive relief thereunder (whether or not a remedy exists at law or in equity); and (c) Lender will have the right to seek to exercise any and all remedies as it may determine in its discretion (without any requirement of marshalling of assets, or other such requirement) that may be available at law or in equity.

(ii)

Lender’s rights, remedies and powers, as provided in this Note and the Security Agreement are cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together against this Company, the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) and any other security given at any time to secure the payment of this Note, all at the sole discretion of Lender. Additionally, Lender may resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity without first exhausting the rights and remedies contained herein, all in Lender’s sole discretion. Failure of Lender at any one time, for a period of time or on more than one occasion, to exercise any of its rights or remedies hereunder or at law or in equity will not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same right or remedy at any time thereafter. Any and all waivers must be in writing to be effective.

(iii)

If any suit or action is instituted or attorneys are employed to enforce any of the obligations of this Note, the non-prevailing party hereby promises and agrees to pay all reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by the prevailing party.

12. Subordination. Lender and Company agree and acknowledge that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is neither subordinate nor subject in right of payment to any other indebtedness issued to third parties.

13. Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intent of Company and Lender in the execution of this Note and all other instruments securing this Note that the loan evidenced hereby be exempt from the restrictions of the usury laws of the State of California. In the event that, for any reason, it should be determined that the California usury law is applicable to the Loan, Lender and Company stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents will ever be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of California. In such event, if any holder of this Note collects monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of California, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of such maximum rate will, at the option of Lender, be credit.

14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications which are required to be or may be given under this Note to a party by the other party must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) immediately if delivered in person, (b) the day following dispatch by a nationally recognized overnight courier service (such as Federal Express or UPS, etc.) for next day delivery, (c) five days after dispatch by certified or registered first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Party to whom the same is so given or made, or (d) upon confirmation of receipt, if by facsimile. Any notice or other communication given hereunder will be addressed to the Company, at 000 X. Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Xxxx X.

Xxxxxxx, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xx., 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Fax (901) 000- 0000, , or to Lender at the address indicated at the beginning of this document, Attention: General Counsel, Fax (000) 000-0000.

15. Counterparts. This Note may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

16. Headings. All headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of any such provisions or of this Note, taken as an entirety.

17. Severability. If and to the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision (or any part thereof) of this Note to be invalid or unenforceable, such holding will in no way affect the validity of the remainder of this Note.

termination is sought. It is agreed that a waiver by either Lender or Company of a breach of any provision of this Note will not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent breach by that same party.

19. Governing Law. This Note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The parties hereby agree that any dispute which may arise between them arising out of or in connection with this Note will be adjudicated before a court located in Los Angeles, California and they hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California located in Los Angeles, California and of the federal courts in the Central District of California with respect to any action or legal proceeding commenced by any party, and irrevocably waive any objection they now or hereafter may have respecting the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such a court or respecting the fact that such court is an inconvenient forum, relating to or arising out of this Note or any acts or omissions relating to the sale of the securities hereunder, and consent to the service of process in any such action or legal proceeding by means of registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in care of the address set forth below or such other address as the undersigned will furnish in writing to the other.

20. Entire Agreement. This Note, the Security Agreement, the Development Agreement, the License Agreement and the Other Agreements set forth the entire agreement and understanding between Lender and Company as to this subject matter and incorporates and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any and every nature among them.

21. Further Assurances. Lender and Company agree to execute and deliver all such further documents, agreements and instruments and take such other and further action as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Note.

22. Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Note will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Note, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Note, except as expressly provided in this Note. This Note is non-negotiable. Neither Company nor Lender may assign or otherwise transfer this Note without the prior written consent of the other party.

23. Relationship of Parties. In all matters relating to this Note, no party will have any right, power or authority to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of any other party.

Page 1 of 6

C. “Licensed Product” means any neuro-related lead, neuro-related lead extension, any other neuro-related lead-type device, or any product related to a neuro-related lead, in each case which incorporates the Licensed Technology.

D. “Net Sales” means the total monetary consideration actually received by Licensee for Licensed Products sold, less any sales person’s commissions payable in good faith to non-related third parties, royalties and other similar fees payable in good faith to non-related third parties, trade discounts allowances for conversions and exchanges, returns, freight, insurance and taxes (other than income taxes).

4. INDEMNITY. Licensor agrees to defend, indemnity and hold Licensee and its officers, directors, agents, Sublicensees, employees, and customers, harmless against all costs, expenses, and losses (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) incurred as a result of any claim that the Licensed Technology infringes or misappropriates any third party’s intellectual property. Licensee will deliver written notice of a claim for indemnification with reasonable promptness to Licensor, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim.

Licensee will have the right to employ separate counsel in any action and to participate in the defense of that action, but the fees and expenses of that counsel will be at the sole expense of the Licensee unless (i) Licensor, upon or after Approval, failed to assume the defense and diligently prosecute or settle the claim, or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel retained by Licensor to represent Licensor, there exists or develops a conflict that would ethically prohibit counsel to Licensor from representing Licensee. If requested by Licensor upon or after Approval, Licensee will cooperate with Licensor and its counsel in contesting any claim that Licensor elects to contest, including, without limitation, by making any counterclaim against the person or entity asserting the claim or any cross-complaint against any person or entity, in each case only to the extent that any counterclaim or cross-complaint arises from the same actions or facts giving rise to the claim. Licensee will be the sole judge of the acceptability of any compromise or settlement of any claim, litigation, or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement. Licensor will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim without Licensee’s consent.

5. COOPERATION. Both Parties will further cooperate to ensure that both Parties enjoy the benefits of all licenses granted under this Agreement.

6. NOTICE AND PAYMENT. All notices, requests, demands, payments, and other communications which are required to be or may be given under this Agreement to a Party by the other Party must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) immediately if delivered in person, (b) the day following dispatch by a nationally recognized overnight courier service (such as Federal Express or UPS, etc.) for next day delivery, (c) five days after dispatch by certified or registered first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Party to whom the same is so given or made, or (d) upon confirmation of receipt, if by facsimile.

AMENDED AND RESTATED MULTIPLE ADVANCE

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


Up to $1,500,000		June 30, 2007

1. Principal. For value received, SURGI-VISION, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), promises to pay to ADVANCED BIONICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), at its office at 00000 Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum specified on the Schedule of Advances attached to this Note, together with accrued interest from the date of disbursement on the unpaid principal of this Note at the rate set forth in Section 3 hereof. Lender hereby authorizes and directs Company to deliver this Note to Lender’s address set forth at the beginning of this Note. Initially capitalized terms used herein without definition are defined in that certain System and Lead Development and Transfer Agreement dated as of December 30, 2005, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of May 31, 2006 and by that certain Omnibus Amendment dated as of June 30, 2007 (as so amended, and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Development Agreement”), by and between Company and Lender.

2. Maturity Date. Unless Lender has previously exercised its Conversion Right (as defined below), the unpaid principal balance of this Note (plus any interest, fees, and other amounts owing under this Note) (collectively, the “Note Balance”) is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The “Maturity Date” is the earliest of (A) the last day of the Negotiation Period or (B) June 30, 2008, regardless of any extensions of the Negotiation Period that Company and Lender may mutually agree on, or (C) the date of an occurrence of an Event of Default. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a business day, payment of the unpaid

principal of this Note must be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time will be included in computing any interest in respect of such payment.

3. Interest Rate.

(a) This Note bears simple interest at the rate of 0% per annum on its unpaid principal amount from the Closing Date to five days after the Maturity Date. This Note bears simple interest at the rate of 20% per annum (or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less) (the “Default Rate”) on any unpaid principal balance of this Note from five business days after the Maturity Date until the actual date that the entire Note Balance is satisfied (either by (i) Company paying the entire Note Balance in cash, (ii) Lender electing in its sole discretion to convert the entire Note Balance into Conversion Shares (as defined below), or (iii) Lender electing in its sole discretion to convert part of the Note Balance into Conversion Shares and Company paying the entire remaining Note Balance in cash).

4. Conversion.

(a) Conversion at Lender’s Option. At any time beginning on the Maturity Date and ending five business days after Company’s payment in full of the Note Balance, Lender will have the right, in Lender’s sole discretion, to convert this Note, in whole or in part (the “Conversion Right”) into the number of Conversion Shares obtained by the calculations of Section 4(b)(i) or Section 4(b)(ii), as applicable. If Lender exercises the Conversion Right after Company’s payment in full of the Note Balance, Lender will return to Company that part of the Note Balance that Lender is electing to convert to Conversion Shares within five business days of Lender’s receipt of Company’s payment in full of the Note Balance.

“Conversion Shares” means the aggregate number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock of Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) into which Lender has elected to convert all or part of the Note Balance.

(b) Pricing Terms.

(i)

Conversion Calculation. Except for the circumstances described in Section 4(b)(ii) below, the number of Conversion Shares will be determined by dividing (A) the amount of the Note Balance to be converted by (B) the lesser of (1) the 5% Conversion Price (as defined below) or (II) if Company consummates a sale of any of its equity securities after the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, a “sale” of equity securities will not include equity securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another entity by Company by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization whereby Company becomes the owner of more than 50% of the voting power of such entity, equity securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities, options or warrants, or equity securities (including derivatives) granted, issued or issuable to employees, officers, directors or consultants pursuant to plans or agreements approved by Company’s board of directors), whether in a single or multiple closings or financings, the average price per share paid for such securities by the purchasers thereof. The term “5% Conversion Price” means, as of a given date, the price per share determined by dividing $1,500,000 by 5% of Company’s Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below). The term “Fully Diluted Shares” means, as of a given date, the total number of shares of Common Stock (a) issued and outstanding, (b) issuable upon the exercise of any and all outstanding options, warrants and rights to acquire shares of Common Stock, or upon the conversion of any and all outstanding securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, whether then vested, exercisable or convertible, and (c) authorized and issuable by the Company under any stock option or other equity compensation plan approved by the Company’s board of directors other than those shares subject to outstanding options, warrants or other similar rights described in the preceding clause (b).

(ii)

If (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) the Company, in its sole discretion, prepays all or any portion of the Note Balance prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 6 hereof or (c) the Company grants the consent pursuant to Section 10(c) hereof, the number of Conversion Shares will be determined by dividing (A) the amount of the Note Balance to be converted by (B) the lesser of (I) the 10% Conversion Price (as defined below) or (II) if Company consummates a sale of any of its equity securities after the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, a “sale” of equity securities will not include equity securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another entity by Company by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other

reorganization whereby Company becomes the owner of more than 50% of the voting power of such entity, equity securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities, options or warrants, or equity securities (including derivatives) granted, issued or issuable to employees, officers, directors or consultants pursuant to plans or agreements approved by Company’s board of directors), whether in a single or multiple closings or financings, the average price per share paid for such securities by the purchasers thereof. The term “10% Conversion Price” means, as of a given date, the price per share determined by dividing $1,500,000 by 10% of Company’s Fully Diluted Shares.

(iii)

Warrant. If, upon Lender’s exercise of its Conversion Right pursuant to Section 4(b)(i), Company and Lender have not executed and delivered the Subsequent System License, in addition to the number of Conversion Shares obtained by the calculation set forth in Section 4(b)(i) above, Lender will receive from the Company a warrant, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit.A (the “Warrant”), to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference, if positive, between (A) the amount determined by dividing (I) the amount of the Note Balance converted pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) by (II) the 10% Conversion Price, minus (B) the number of Conversion Shares obtained by the calculation set forth in Section 4(b)(i) above. Such Warrant shall become exercisable if (A) Company and Lender have not executed and delivered the Subsequent System License on or before the last day of the Negotiation Period or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing prior to the last day of the Negotiation Period.

(iv)

Full Conversion. Reference in the Development Agreement, this Note and/or any of the other Concurrent Documents to the “conversion of the Note Balance” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to Lender’s receipt of (A) the number of Conversion Shares obtained by the calculation set forth in Sections 4(b)(i) or 4(b)(ii), as applicable, and (B) if applicable, the Warrant, For the avoidance of doubt, reference in the Development Agreement, this Note and/or any of the other Concurrent Documents to the “conversion of the Note Balance” or words of like import shall not mean or include Lender’s exercise of all or any portion of the Warrant.

(i)

(ii)

Within five business days after receipt of the Conversion Notice, Company will deliver to Lender a certificate for the number of Conversion

Shares issuable upon the conversion; provided that Company will not issue any fractional Conversion Shares. In lieu of Company issuing any fractional shares to Lender or its designees upon conversion, Company will pay to Lender the unconverted amount of the Note Balance specified in the Conversion Notice, such payment to be in the form of a wire transfer or check payable to Lender. Each conversion will be deemed to have been effected immediately before the close of business on the date on which this Note is given to the Company pursuant to Section 14 of this Note. Upon conversion of the entire Note Balance, Company will be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

HYPOTHECATION, DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND OTHER LAWS. THE RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE BINDING ON THE HOLDER HEREOF AND HIS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS,”

6. Prepayment Prior to the Maturity Date, Company, in its sole discretion, may prepay all or any portion of the Note Balance at any time, provided that (i) Company will give Lender not less than a 30-day prior written notice of its intention to prepay an amount specified in such notice on the date set forth in the notice, and (ii) notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Lender will have the right before the anticipated prepayment date set forth in the notice to exercise its Conversion Right, under the pricing terms contained in Section 4(b)(ii) of the Note, to convert all or part of the amount to be prepaid into Conversion Shares, in which case the prepayment notice will have no further force or effect regarding the amount to be converted.

7. Lawful Money. Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America,

8. Applications of Payments; Late Charges.

(a) Payments received by Lender hereunder will be applied first to costs and expenses, then to interest and finally to principal unless Lender elects otherwise in its sole discretion.

(i)

(ii)

It would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the exact amount of such costs in such event;

(iii)

The late charge is a reasonable and good faith estimate of such costs; and

(iv)

9. Security. This Note is a secured obligation of Company as set forth in the Security Agreement dated as of December 30, 2005, as amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment dated as of June 30, 2007 (as so amended, and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), by and between Company and Lender.

(a) Use of Loan Proceeds. Company covenants and agrees that it will use the proceeds of this Note only (i) to pay the second installment in the amount of $124,052.60 (including accrued interest, fees, and related amounts) due on December 1, 2005, and the third installment in the amount of $120,355.03 (including accrued interest, fees, and related amounts) due on March 1, 2006, under that certain promissory note made by the Company in favor of Trust One Bank of 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 in the principal amount of $690,000 due December 1, 2006 (the “Trust One Bank Note”), (ii) to pay direct costs and expenses associated with the development of the System and/or the Lead and (iii) to pay to Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx, PLC and Xxxxx Bigel Sibley & Sajovec an aggregate amount no greater than $40,000 to cover Company’s actual costs and expenses associated with the negotiation and documentation of this Note, the Security Agreement, the Development Agreement, the License Agreement and the Other Agreements. Company acknowledges that some costs and expenses incurred by Company, such as salaries and consulting fees, may relate both to the development of the System and/or the Lead and to other activities of Company. With respect to such costs and expenses, Company will determine, subject to Lender’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, which percentage of the cost or expense is associated with the development of the System and/or the Lead, for which Company will be permitted to use proceeds of this Note, and which percentage is associated with other activities of Company, for which Company will not be permitted to use proceeds of this Note.

OMNIBUS AMENDMENT #2

TO SYSTEM AND LEAD DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFER AGREEMENT

This AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is dated as of March 19, 2008 and entered into by and between Surgi-Vision, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation (formerly known as Advanced Bionics Corporation), a Delaware corporation (“Bionics”), and is made with reference to (i) that certain System and Lead Development and Transfer Agreement dated as of December 30, 2005, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of May 31, 2006, as further amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment dated as of June 30, 2007 (as so amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Development Agreement”), by and between the Company and Bionics, and (ii) that certain Technology License Agreement dated as of December 30, 2005, as amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment dated as of June 30, 2007 (as so amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “License Agreement”), by and between the Company and Bionics.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. (“CPI”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Boston Scientific Corporation and an affiliate of Bionics have, concurrent with this Amendment, entered into a Technology License Agreement (the “CPI License Agreement”) and a Development Agreement (the “CPI Development Agreement”) (collectively, the CPI License Agreement and the CPI Development Agreement are referred to as the “CPI Agreements”), which contain, among other things, certain provisions regarding Intellectual Property ownership, patent prosecution, enforcement and confidentiality;

WHEREAS, the Company and Bionics desire to amend the Development Agreement to be consistent with such Intellectual Property ownership, patent prosecution, enforcement and confidentiality provisions contained in the CPI Agreements; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Bionics desire to amend the License Agreement to reconcile the compensation provisions contained therein with those in the CPI License Agreement:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. AMENDMENTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

1.1

Defined Terms.

Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Development Agreement.

1.2

Amendments to Section 11: Intellectual Property Ownership and Protection.

A. Section 11.1 (a) of the Development Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the last sentence of such Section in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

“Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, any Shared Future Intellectual Property shall be solely owned by CPI and Bionics. Bionics hereby grants to the Company an exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license, with right to sublicense, (a) under the Shared Future Intellectual Property for use within the SVI Grant-Back Field (as that term is defined in the CPI Development Agreement), to make, use, import, lease, and sell any system, method, or apparatus, and (b) under all Non-Shared Future Intellectual Property for use outside the field of neuromodulation, to make, use, import, lease, and sell any system, method, or apparatus. The term “Shared Future Intellectual Property” means any Future Intellectual Property that constitutes Development IP (as that term is defined in the CPI Development Agreement). The term “Non-Shared Future Intellectual Property” means any transferred Future Intellectual Property that does not constitute Development IP (as that term is defined in the CPI Development Agreement).

B. Section 11.1 (b) of the Development Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

(b) Intellectual Property Re-transfer and Cross-License. Bionics hereby agrees to assign and transfer to the Company joint ownership for all countries in and to any transferred Non-Shared Future Intellectual Property promptly after the Loan Satisfaction Date (“Re-Transfer”). Upon Re-Transfer, the Non-Shared Future Intellectual Property will become Intellectual Property that is jointly owned by the Parties (“Joint Intellectual Property”). Effective immediately upon the date of Re-Transfer, (i) the Company hereby grants to Bionics an exclusive, fully paid, non-transferable, perpetual worldwide license under the Joint Intellectual Property within the field of neuromodulation, with right to sublicense, to make, use, import, lease, and sell any system, method, or apparatus thereunder, and (ii) Bionics hereby grants to the Company an exclusive, fully paid, non-transferable, perpetual worldwide license under the Joint Intellectual Property outside the field of neuromodulation (but subject to CPI’s exclusivity as set forth in the CPI Agreements), with right to sublicense, to make, use, import, lease, and sell any system, method, or apparatus thereunder.

1.3

Amendment to Section 11.2: Patent Prosecution.

A. Section 11.2 of the Development Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

11.2 Patent Prosecution.

(a) Costs. Bionics and its Affiliates will pay all Patent Prosecution costs and expenses for all Patents subject to their sole control, as set forth in Section 11.2(b) below (“Prosecution Costs”). The term “Patent” means all classes or types of patents, design patents, utility patents, including issued patents, published and non-published patent applications

(including inventors’ certificates and utility models) in any country or jurisdiction or under any treaty, including all originals, provisionals, substitutions, continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals, supplementary protection certificates, renewals, all letters patent granted thereon, and all reissues, reexaminations, extensions, confirmations, revalidations, registrations, patents of addition and foreign counterparts, as well as industrial design registrations. The term “Prosecution” means prosecution of any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or in any other registration authority in any country, including regarding any application (whether ex parte or inter partes), including interference, reexamination and reissue. The terms “Affiliate” and “Affiliates” have the meanings ascribed thereto in the CPI Agreements.

(b) Intellectual Property Protection. Bionics and its Affiliates will jointly control the Prosecution of all Patents included in the Bionics Controlled IP, each at its own expense and with legal counsel of its own choice, and will take such other legal steps as Bionics and its Affiliates will determine in their sole discretion to be necessary to protect their rights for all Bionics Controlled IP. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Bionics nor its Affiliates will be obligated to pay any Prosecution Costs to protect any Intellectual Property if they determine, in their sole discretion, that those Prosecution Costs outweigh the likely benefits to Bionics or such Affiliate. The term “Bionics Controlled IP” means all Existing Intellectual Property, Joint Intellectual Property and Future Intellectual Property, except any Existing Intellectual Property that relates to the System.

(c) Company Cooperation. The Company will cooperate with Bionics and its Affiliates in filing, Prosecuting and maintaining Patents and taking such other legal steps as set forth in this Section 11.2 and will execute and deliver any documents and instruments in connection therewith which Bionics or its Affiliates may request at no additional cost or expense to Bionics or such Affiliate.

(d) Company Inspection and Intervention. The Company will have the right upon reasonable notice and reasonable request to inspect, at the Company’s sole expense and discretion, the Prosecution documents and strategy of Bionics and its Affiliates with respect to any Bionics Controlled IP that does not constitute Shared Future Intellectual Property. The Parties agree that such information constitutes Confidential Information of Bionics and its Affiliates, and that the disclosure of such information is not intended to constitute a waiver of any privilege, including attorney-client privilege. Bionics (or its applicable Affiliate) will provide written notice to the Company prior to abandoning any patent application or issued Patent that is part of the Bionics Controlled IP. If the Company desires to file and Prosecute any patent application, or to pay maintenance fees or annuities to maintain any issued Patent, in any country that Bionics or its Affiliates determined was not worthwhile to protect Bionics’ or such Affiliates’ rights, the Company may provide Bionics with a reasonable written request to file and Prosecute or maintain such Patent (“Prosecution Request”). Bionics will have thirty (30) days to fulfill the Prosecution Request. If Bionics (or one of its Affiliates) fails to complete the Prosecution Request within thirty (30) days of receiving the Prosecution Request, then (i) the Company may independently file and Prosecute the patent application or maintain the issued Patent that was the subject of the Prosecution Request, (ii) the Company will bear all Prosecution Costs and will control the remainder of the Prosecution for such patent application or the maintenance of such issued Patent, and (iii) with respect to a Prosecution involving any Future Intellectual Property or Joint Intellectual Property, Bionics and its Affiliates will have the right

(but not the obligation) to participate in an advisory capacity in such Prosecution. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any action by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.2(d) will not confer or convey any ownership rights in the subject Patent to the Company, and will not otherwise adversely affect any of Bionics’ or its Affiliates’ rights in same.

1.4

Amendment to Section 11.4: Infringement.

A. Section 11.4 of the Development Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

11.4 Infringement.

(a) Notice of Infringement. If either Party learns of any actual, alleged or threatened Infringement of any Bionics Controlled IP by a Third Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and shall provide such other Party with all available evidence of such Infringement. The term “Infringe” means (as applicable, depending on the context of the subject or object of the word Infringe) to infringe, misappropriate, use or disclose without authorization or otherwise violate Intellectual Property rights (whether direct, indirect, contributory, inducement or otherwise). The words “Infringement” and “Infringing” have corresponding meanings. The term “Third Party” means one or more persons or entities other than SVI, Bionics and their respective Affiliates.

(b) Enforcement of Bionics Controlled IP. As between the Parties, [***] shall have the sole right (but not the obligation), each at its own expense and with legal counsel of its own choice, to bring suit (or take other appropriate legal action) against any actual, alleged or threatened Infringement of the Bionics Controlled IP; provided, however, that [***] shall have the right (but, subject to Section 11.4(c) below, not the obligation) to participate in an advisory capacity only in the institution and prosecution of any such Infringement suit, (a) with respect to any Shared Future Intellectual Property only if and to the extent the accused product is related primarily to the [***] and (b) with respect to any other Bionics Controlled IP only if and to the extent the accused product is related primarily to [***].

(c) Join in Action. If either [***] brings any such action or proceeding hereunder, [***] agrees to be joined as party plaintiff if necessary to prosecute such action or proceeding, and, at [***] expense, to give [***] reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to transfer any right, title or interest in or to any property to other Party to confer standing on a Party hereunder.

(d) Costs. [***] will pay all costs, fees, and expenses associated with an Infringement action they have initiated and prosecuted. [***] will pay all costs, fees, and expenses associated with [***] participation in an advisory capacity under Section 11.4(b).

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

(e) Recovery. Any recovery obtained in an action initiated and prosecuted solely by [***], and in which [***] does not participate in an advisory capacity, shall belong to [***]. Any recovery obtained in an action initiated and prosecuted by [***], and in which [***] participates in an advisory capacity, shall be allocated in a fair and equitable manner mutually determined by the Parties. For purposes of clarity, any recovery pursuant to this section will be net of litigation costs as provided in Section 11.4(d) above.

(f) Cooperation. [***] agrees to fully cooperate with [***] in the prosecution of any such suit at no additional expense to [***].

(g) Loss of Exclusive Rights Under CPI License Agreement. [***] acknowledges that, notwith-standing the foregoing to the contrary, in the event CPI exercises its Termination Option (as such term is defined in the CPI Development Agreement), [***] of the CPI License Agreement. Therefore, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 11.4 and the terms of [***], the terms of the CPI License Agreement will control.

1.5

Amendment to Section 11.5: Publication and Authorship

A. Section 11.5 of the Development Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

11.5 Publication and Authorship. Notwithstanding Section 11.6(e) below, the Company will have the right to author, to publish and to retain or transfer copyright to scientific reports describing the methods and results of any or all Bionics Controlled IP that does not constitute Shared Future Intellectual Property; provided that, if the studies were conducted with the financial and/or technical support of Bionics or any of its Affiliates, such reports shall include an acknowledgment to that effect. Prior to publishing any reports or submitting any manuscripts wherein the publication could adversely affect patent rights for any Bionics Controlled IP (i.e., new inventions for which patent applications have not been filed), (i) the Company shall make the manuscripts for such reports available to Bionics or one of Bionics’ Affiliates, using reasonable efforts to provide Bionics or such Affiliate copies of such manuscripts at least thirty (30) days before submission to a journal or other publisher so that Bionics can take any steps it deems necessary to protect such Surgi-Vision IP disclosed in such manuscripts, (ii) Bionics will promptly review such manuscripts, and (iii) the Company will delay its submission to such journal or other publisher for up to one hundred eighty (180) days if Bionics, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it needs additional time to protect such Bionics Controlled IP.

1.6

Amendment to Section 11.6: Confidentiality

A. Section 11.6 of the Development Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

11.6 Confidentiality.

(a) Definition. “Confidential Information” means information which is disclosed or shared by one Party to the other Party, or generated or developed by one or both Parties, that the non-owning Party has a reasonable basis to believe is confidential to the owning Party or has been marked or orally designated by the owning Party as confidential.

(b) Ownership of Confidential Information. The Parties agree that (i) all Shared Future Intellectual Property and Non-Shared Future Intellectual Property will be deemed to be Confidential Information owned by Bionics (irrespective of which Party generated, developed or first shared or disclosed such information), (ii) all Joint Intellectual Property will be deemed to be Confidential Information owned by both Parties (irrespective of which Party generated, developed or first shared or disclosed such information), and (iii) the terms and existence of this Agreement are Confidential Information owned by both Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 11.6, neither Party is subject to the obligations of a “no-owning Party” with respect to Confidential Information that is owned by both Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, for all other Confidential Information, the “owning Party” is deemed to be the disclosing Party. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the owning Party, and the non-owning Party shall not be deemed by virtue of this Agreement or any access to the owning Party’s Confidential Information to have acquired any right, title or interest in or to any Confidential Information, except the limited right to use such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or other agreements between the Parties or their Affiliates.

(c) Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. Either Party may make available to the other Party or otherwise generate or develop Confidential Information. The non-owning Party will maintain the owning Party’s Confidential Information in confidence and will not use such Confidential Information except as reasonably necessary to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement or other agreements between the Parties or their Affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the CPI Agreements, the Company agrees and acknowledges that Bionics and its Affiliates may share all of the Company’s Confidential Information with and among each of their respective Affiliates for use solely within the Field (as that term is defined in the CPI Agreements), provided that (i) prior to any such sharing of the Company’s Confidential Information such Affiliates are bound by obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use substantially similar in scope to those in this Agreement and (ii) Bionics shall be responsible for any breach of confidentiality, non disclosure and non-use by any such Affiliate. Neither Party will disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as permissible in Section 11.6(e) below or in other agreements between the Parties or their Affiliates. All Confidential Information will be treated by the non-owning Party with the same care as it would exercise in the handling of its own Confidential Information, but not less than reasonable care. The limitations and undertakings specified in this Section 11.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.

(d) Standard Exceptions. The obligations of Sections 11.6(c), (f) and (g) do not apply to any of the other Party’s Confidential Information: (i) which, other than

Shared Future Intellectual Property and Non-Shared Future Intellectual Property, is already known by the non-owning Party at the time of the disclosure; (ii) following such information becoming publicly known without the wrongful act or breach of this Agreement by the non-owning Party; (iii) following such information becoming rightfully received by the non-owning Party from a Third Party without breaching any confidentiality obligation owed by such Third Party to the owning Party; (iv) following such information becoming approved for release by written authorization of the owning Party; or (v) other than Shared Future Intellectual Property and Non-Shared Future Intellectual Property, following such information becoming subsequently and independently developed by employees or representatives of the non-owning Party without knowledge or use of the owning Party’s Confidential Information. The burden of proving the existence of facts which would provide an exception under this Section 11.6(d) rests with the non-owning Party. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent required under the JHU Agreements, the Company shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement to JHU.

(e) Permitted Disclosures. Each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information:

(i) to the extent reasonably necessary for a Party to prepare, file and Prosecute a Patent application under this Agreement or other agreements between the Parties or their Affiliates;

(ii) to the extent permissible under any other agreements between the Parties or their Affiliates;

(iii) to the extent reasonably necessary for a Party to develop or commercialize, directly or indirectly through one or more licensees, products related to or utilizing Intellectual Property within its allocated (or retained) field of rights pursuant to this Agreement or the License Agreement; provided that: (a) such disclosure may include the disclosure of this Agreement’s and the License Agreement’s existence and the scope of any license granted hereunder or thereunder; and (b) prior to making any such disclosure pursuant to this subsection, such Party will, if reasonably practical, take reasonable steps to limit the scope of such disclosure and its effect on confidentiality;

(iv) to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of this Agreement or other agreements between the Parties, to its respective Affiliates, consultants, agents, advisors, attorneys, outside contractors and clinical investigators, but only if those persons are bound by obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-use substantially similar in scope to those in this Agreement; provided, such Party shall be responsible for any breaches of confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use by any such Affiliate, consultant, agent, advisor, attorney, outside contractor or clinical investigator to whom disclosure is made;

(v) in connection with communications to such Party’s stockholders and prospective investors; provided that unless otherwise agreed between the Parties: (a) such stockholders and prospective investors are subject to obligations of confidentiality no less stringent than those contained herein; and (b) such disclosure be expressly limited to the existence of this Agreement and the License Agreement and the scope of any license granted hereunder or thereunder;

(vi) to the extent reasonably necessary to enforce this Agreement or other agreements between the Parties or their Affiliates;

(vii) to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with a subpoena, court order, or administrative order. Before complying, the Party subject to such subpoena, court order or administrative order will notify the other Party, allow the other Party a reasonable time to oppose the disclosure, and reasonably cooperate with the other Party’s efforts to do so; or

(viii) to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with an applicable law, rule, regulation of any governmental authority or securities exchange, including the FDA, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. Before complying, the Party subject to such law, rule or regulation will notify the other Party, allow the other Party a reasonable time to seek a protective order (if appropriate), and reasonably cooperate with the other Party’s efforts to do so.

(f) Further Limitation on Use and Disclosure of Bionics Controlled IP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while Bionics recognizes the Company’s legitimate right (except to the extent limited by the CPI Agreements or the License Agreement) to commercialize the Bionics Controlled IP outside the Field (as that term is defined in the CPI Agreements), the Parties agree and acknowledge that, in order to give Bionics the full benefit of the exclusive license granted pursuant to the License Agreement, with respect to those portions of the Bionics Controlled IP that constitute Confidential Information owned by the Company, the Company will, if reasonably practical, take reasonable steps to limit the scope of any disclosure of such Bionics Controlled IP; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation on the Company will not apply with respect to disclosure of Bionics Controlled IP by the Company to CPI.

(g) Return of Information. Upon the request of the owning Party at any time after the Loan Satisfaction Date, the non-owning Party will promptly return or destroy (at the other Party’s choice) all Confidential Information owned by such other Party then in its possession and, if applicable, provide a certification of such destruction; provided, however, that the foregoing will not apply to any Confidential Information that the non-owning Party needs to retain for purposes of meeting its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement and the License Agreement or expressly has the right to retain under this Agreement or the License Agreement. With the exception of the prototypes provided to Bionics, in accordance with this Agreement, each Party will retain custody and ownership of any specimens and original data disclosed to the other Party and will exercise due care in preserving such specimens and original data in a manner consistent with current standards of scientific conduct. The Company will provide Bionics with complete and timely reports and scientific analyses of such data and will make specimens and original data available for inspection by representatives of Bionics at Bionics’ request.

(h) Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Section 11.6 would be likely to cause serious and irreparable harm, the amount of which may be extremely difficult to estimate, thus making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Each Party therefore agrees that if the other Party breaches this Section 11.6 or if such Party has cause to believe that the other Party intends to or is about to breach such provisions, then such Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief enjoining the breach and will have the right to specifically enforce this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity.

(i) System Information. For the avoidance of any doubt, Bionics acknowledges and agrees that the Company is permitted to share its System information with third parties following the expiration of the Exclusivity Period if the Parties do not execute and deliver the Subsequent System License within the Exclusivity Period.

Section 2. AMENDMENT TO THE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Section 3.B of the License Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:

“In the event that a product simultaneously falls within the definition of “Licensed Product” under this Agreement and the definition of “Royalty Product” under the CPI License Agreement: (a) Licensor agrees that any sale of such product will only implicate the payment of fees under one of the two agreements, not both (e.g., Licensor will not receive royalty payments both under this Agreement and the CPI License Agreement with respect to the same sale); (b) the Parties will determine which agreement will govern the fees to be paid to Licensor primarily by reference to the product’s actual intended use, and whether such use falls within the scope of the neuromodulation field of the Development Agreement or the “Implantable Cardiac Field” of the CPI License Agreement; and (c) if the Parties are unable to determine the governing agreement pursuant to clause (b) above, the Parties shall settle such disagreement pursuant to substantially the same mediation and arbitration provisions set forth in Section 4(E) and (F) of the CPI License Agreement with respect to a “Royalty Product Dispute” (as such term is defined in the CPI License Agreement) (it being understood and agreed that the scope of the arbitration will be limited to determining which agreement will govern the fees to be paid to the Company and that in no event will the Arbitrators have the power or authority to terminate this Agreement or the CPI License Agreement).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.
