Re: Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Loan and Security Agreement between us dated September 12, 2008 (as
amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). (Capitalized terms used in this Agreement,
which are not defined, shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan
Agreement and all other present and future documents and agreements relating thereto are
collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”.)
Reference is also made to the Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”), of
substantially even date, between Pearland Economic Development Corporation (“Pearland”) and Bank,
and consented to by the undersigned, and to the Consent to Removal of Personal Property (the
“Landlord Consent”), of substantially even date, between Pearland and Bank, and consented to by
the undersigned, with respect to the undersigned’s location in Pearland, Texas (the “Premises”).
The undersigned hereby agrees to promptly give Bank written notice if Pearland ever ceases to
be the owner of, or the undersigned’s landlord with respect to, the Premises. If Pearland ever
ceases to be the owner of, or the undersigned’s landlord with respect to, the Premises, or if the
Subordination Agreement is ever terminated, the undersigned shall promptly provide the Bank with
replacement landlord consents reasonably satisfactory to the Bank; provided, however, that the
undersigned shall have no obligation to provide a replacement landlord consent if the undersigned
establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Bank that the Landlord Consent is binding upon
the owner or landlord (as the case may be) of the Premises. In addition, the undersigned
acknowledges and agrees that (1) a notice from Pearland to Bank, or a notice from Pearland to the
undersigned, that a default has occurred under the “Jobs Agreement” (as defined in the
Subordination Agreement) shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement unless
within 30 days thereafter Bank receives written notice from Pearland that all defaults under the
Jobs Agreement have been cured or waived, and (2) a notice to Bank pursuant to the Landlord Consent
that Borrower has vacated the “Real Property” (as defined in the Landlord Consent) and that the
“Exercise Period” (as defined in the Landlord Consent) is commencing shall constitute an Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement if any “Collateral” (as defined in the Landlord Consent) remains
on the Real Property.
This letter agreement and the other written agreements and documents between us set forth in
full all of the representations and agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersede all prior discussions, oral representations, oral agreements and oral
understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as herein
expressly modified the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and the same are
hereby ratified and confirmed.
This letter agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any rights hereunder be waived,
except in a writing signed by the parties hereto. In the event of any litigation between the
parties based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to this letter agreement, the

prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of his costs and expenses (including without
limitation attorneys’ fees) from the non-prevailing party. This letter agreement is being entered
into, and shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. This letter agreement is part
of the Loan Agreement and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by reference. This letter
agreement may be executed and delivered by exchanging original signed counterparts, or signed
counterparts by facsimile, or a combination of the foregoing, and this letter agreement shall be
fully effective if so executed and delivered.
Sincerely yours, CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS, INC. |
