(b) Seller and Stryker shall retain, and shall be responsible for paying, performing and discharging as and when due and owing, and Purchaser shall not assume or have any responsibility for, the Excluded Liabilities. “Excluded Liabilities” means all Liabilities of the Seller and Stryker, other than Assumed Liabilities, including the following:

SECTION 2.03. Non-Assignable Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Purchased Asset that is not assignable or transferable without the consent of any Person, other than Seller, Stryker, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, to the extent that such consent shall not have been given prior to the Closing (each, a “Nonassigned Asset”); provided, however, that Seller and Stryker shall use, both prior to and for twelve (12) months after the Closing, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Seller and Stryker in connection therewith, all necessary consents to the assignment and transfer of each Nonassigned Asset, and shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed as to the status of such efforts; provided, further, that none of Seller, Stryker, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to pay money to any Third Party, commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party in connection with such efforts. With respect to any Nonassigned Asset, for a period beginning on the Closing and ending on the earlier of (i) the time such requisite consent is obtained and such Nonassigned Asset is transferred and assigned to Purchaser or (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing, Seller and Stryker shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser substantially comparable benefits thereof and shall enforce, at the request of and for the benefit of Purchaser, any rights of Seller or Stryker arising thereunder against any Person, including the right to seek any available remedies or to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice of Purchaser. To the extent that Seller or Stryker provides Purchaser with benefits of any Nonassigned Asset, Purchaser shall perform, as reasonably directed by Seller, the related obligations of Seller and Stryker thereunder.

(b) Seller and Stryker provides no assurances to Purchaser that any consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Third Party contemplated by this Section 2.03 will be granted. Subject to compliance by Seller and Stryker with the provisions of this Section 2.03, the Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Seller, Stryker nor any of their Affiliates shall be obligated to obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver hereunder and neither (i) the failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in and of itself nor (ii) any default or termination or any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person to the extent arising out of any such

failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in and of itself shall be deemed (x) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller or Stryker contained in this Agreement or (y) to cause any condition to Purchaser’s obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be deemed not satisfied.

SECTION 2.04. Upfront Consideration.

(a) Upfront Purchase Price. The upfront purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be $1,500,000 (the “Upfront Purchase Price”), (i) $500,000 of which shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing by the Secured Promissory Note, (ii) $500,000 of which shall be held back by Purchaser and shall be released and paid to Seller within thirty (30) days after the Technology Transfer Completion Date provided that Seller has delivered to Purchaser the thirteen (13) one-liter bottles containing the 2010 lot of serum-free BMP-7 protein (the “Serum Free Assets”); and (iii) $500,000 of which shall be held back by Purchaser and shall be released and paid to Seller on the earlier of (x) December 31, 2014 and (y) the completion of an initial public offering of Purchaser’s securities. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment shall be due to Seller pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(ii), unless Seller has delivered the Serum Free Assets to Purchaser. The Upfront Purchase Price shall be non-refundable and non-creditable, except as set forth in Section 7.

(b)

Equity Participation.

(i) Initial Stock Issuance. At the Closing, Purchaser shall issue to Stryker 263,158 shares of Common Stock, which shares shall be duly authorized and validly issued and considered fully paid and non-assessable.

(ii) Anti-Dilutive Issuances. After the Closing, Purchaser shall immediately issue to Stryker, for no additional consideration, any additional shares of Common Stock necessary to ensure that the total number of shares of capital stock of Purchaser issued to Stryker (whether or not subsequently sold or transferred) does not at any time prior to, or upon the occurrence of, a Successful Financing represent less than the Threshold Level. Such additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued to Stryker concurrently with the issuance by Purchaser of any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities other than Exempt Securities and Purchaser shall promptly deliver the stock certificate or certificates representing such additional shares of Common Stock to Stryker upon such issuance. Any such additional shares of Common Stock, when issued in accordance with this Section 2.04(b)(ii), shall be duly authorized and validly issued and considered fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Encumbrances, created, imposed or suffered to be imposed by Purchaser. Purchaser’s obligation to make additional issuances of Common Stock to Stryker pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(ii) shall continue until (x) all of the shares of capital stock to be issued in connection with a Successful Financing have been issued and (y) Stryker has been issued all of the shares required to be issued pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(ii) to ensure that its interests are not diluted as a result of the Successful Financing. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.04(b)(ii) to the contrary, in no event shall Stryker be entitled to receive, pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(ii), a number of shares representing more than the Threshold Level at and as

of the occurrence of a Successful Financing, even if a Successful Financing occurs during the course of a transaction or series of transactions and, after the Successful Financing, Purchaser issues additional shares of capital stock in connection with such transaction or transactions, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, Stryker’s rights to receive additional shares of Common Stock under this Agreement in connection with any issuance by Purchaser of any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall cease and no longer apply with respect to and to the extent that Purchaser receives gross proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 through a Successful Financing. For so long as Purchaser is obligated to make additional issuances of Common Stock to Stryker pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(ii), Purchaser shall deliver to Stryker within sixty (60) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter a statement setting forth: (A) the number of shares of each class and series of capital stock of Purchaser and the number of securities convertible into or exercisable for such shares of capital stock, outstanding at the end of such Calendar Quarter; (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding Options, warrants or other securities that are convertible or exercisable for Common Stock, and the exchange ratio or exercise price applicable thereto; and (C) the total number of shares of capital stock of Purchaser in the employee stock option pool, in each case ((A) through (C)) in sufficient detail to permit Stryker to calculate its percentage equity ownership of Purchaser and certified as being true, complete and correct by the chief financial officer or chief executive officer of Purchaser in his or her official capacity.

(iii) Lock-Up. Stryker hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to any public offering of Purchaser’s securities and ending on the date specified by Purchaser and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, or such other period as may be requested by Purchaser or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (x) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (y) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (A) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for the offering or (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any shares of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or clause (B) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b)(iii) shall not apply to the sale of any shares of Common Stock to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement and shall only be applicable to Stryker if all officers, directors, holders of more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the conversion of all Convertible Securities) and Purchaser enter into, and remain bound by, similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 2.04(b)(iii) and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof

as though they were a party hereto. Stryker further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or any underwriter that are consistent with this Section 2.04(b)(iii) or that are necessary to give further effect hereto. In order to enforce the covenants set forth in this Section 2.04(b)(iii), Purchaser may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by Stryker until the end of such restricted period.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall make (or cause to be made) each of the one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable payments set forth below (each, a “Development Milestone Payment”) to Seller no later than thirty (30) days following the first occurrence of the corresponding milestone event set forth below (each a “Development Milestone Event”). For the sake of clarity, (i) each Development Milestone Payment shall become due and payable upon the first occurrence of the corresponding Development Milestone Event, regardless of whether such Development Milestone Event is achieved by Purchaser or by a Purchaser Related Party, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Development Milestone Payments payable pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall not exceed [***].

(i) [***] percent ([***]%) of Net Sales in a Calendar Year (or portion thereof) for the portion of annual aggregate Net Sales of such Covered Product less than or equal to [***]; plus

(ii) [***] percent ([***]%) of Net Sales in a Calendar Year (or portion thereof) for the portion of annual aggregate Net Sales of such Covered Product greater than [***] and less than or equal to [***]; plus

(iii) [***] percent ([***]%) of Net Sales in a Calendar Year (or portion thereof) for the portion of annual aggregate Net Sales of such Covered Product greater than [***].

By way of example only, if, during a Calendar Year, the Net Sales of a Covered Product were [***], the amount owed to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) would be [***].

Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid) the Contingent Payments to Seller with respect to each Calendar Quarter within ninety (90) days after the end of such Calendar Quarter, and each such Contingent Payment shall be accompanied by a report that sets forth the Net Sales of each Covered Product in the Territory during such Calendar Quarter and the amount payable to Seller (each such report, a “Net Sales Report”).

(d) Agreements with Purchaser Related Parties. Any agreement between Purchaser and any Purchaser Related Party under which such Purchaser Related Party acquires any rights to the Purchased Assets or any Covered Product shall (i) be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) not in any way diminish, reduce or eliminate any obligations under this Agreement of Purchaser; (iii) require such Purchaser Related Party to provide Purchaser with all information required to prepare the Net Sales Reports; (iv) require such Purchaser Related Party to comply with all applicable terms of this Agreement, including the obligation to maintain books and records consistent with the terms of Section 2.05(e)(iv) and to permit audits of Financial Records pursuant to Section 2.05(e)(v). Subject to Section 8.06, such agreement may include the assignment of certain rights under this Agreement, and

delegation of certain obligations under this Agreement, of Purchaser to such Purchaser Related Party, provided that Purchaser shall remain liable for the performance of such obligations by such Purchaser Related Party. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of any such agreement within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof.

(e)

Payment Terms.

(i) Method of Payment. Each payment under this Agreement shall be made by electronic transfer in immediately available funds via either a bank wire transfer, an automated clearing house (ACH) mechanism, or any other means of electronic funds transfer, at Purchaser’s election, to such bank account as Seller shall designate in a notice at least five (5) Business Days before the payment is due.

(ii) Currency. All payments due under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars. Whenever, for the purposes of calculating Contingent Payments, conversion from any foreign currency will be required, all amounts will first be calculated in the currency of sale and then converted into United States dollars by applying Seller’s customary and usual currency conversion procedures, consistently applied.

(iii) Blocked Payments. If, at any time, legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all Contingent Payments with respect to any country in the Territory where any Covered Product is sold, Contingent Payments shall continue to be accrued in such country and Net Sales in such country shall continue to be reported, but such Contingent Payments will not be paid until they may be removed from the country or, at Seller’s request, shall be paid in the local currency into a local bank designated by Seller for the account of Seller. If such Contingent Payments are accrued, then at such time as Purchaser or Purchaser Related Party, as applicable, is able to remove currency from such country it shall also remove and pay such Contingent Payments accrued on Seller’s behalf.

(iv) Record Keeping. Purchaser shall keep, and shall cause Purchaser Related Parties to keep, books and accounts of record in connection with the sale of Covered Products in the Territory, including records of Net Sales, exchange rates and royalty payments (collectively, the “Financial Records”), in accordance with GAAP and in sufficient detail to permit accurate determination of all figures necessary for verification of Commercial Milestone Payments and Contingent Payments to be made to Seller hereunder. Purchaser shall maintain, and shall cause Purchaser Related Parties to maintain, such Financial Records for a period of at least three (3) years after the end of the Calendar Quarter in which they are generated.

(v) Audits. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Seller, Purchaser shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, to examine, at Seller’s sole expense, the relevant Financial Records of Purchaser and the Purchaser Related Parties for the purpose of verifying the Net Sales Reports and the Commercial Milestone Payments and Contingent Payments made to Seller hereunder. Seller shall be

entitled to conduct an audit in accordance with this Section 2.05(e)(v) not more than once in any Calendar Year and such audit shall be limited to the pertinent Financial Records from any Calendar Year ending not more than three (3) years prior to the date of the request. The accounting firm shall be provided access to such Financial Records at the facility(ies) of Purchaser and the Purchaser Related Parties where such Financial Records are normally kept and such audit shall be conducted during the normal business hours of Purchaser or the Purchaser Related Party, as applicable. The accounting firm shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with Purchaser on terms substantially similar to those set forth in Section 6.01 prior to being provided access to any Financial Records. Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm shall provide Seller and Purchaser with a written report disclosing any discrepancies in the Net Sales Reports, Commercial Milestone Payments or Contingent Payments, if any, and in each case, the specific details concerning any discrepancies. Any information provided by Purchaser or the Purchaser Related Parties to the accounting firm and the written report provided by the accounting firm shall be deemed to be Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.

(vi) Underpayments/Overpayments. If a report of an independent certified public accounting firm submitted to Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.05(e)(v) shows any underpayment of Commercial Milestone Payments or Contingent Payments, Purchaser shall remit (or cause to be remitted) to Seller within thirty (30) days after receipt of such report by Purchaser, (x) the amount of such underpayment and (y) if such underpayment exceeds five percent (5%) of the total amount owed to Seller for the Calendar Year then being audited, the reasonable fees and expenses of such accounting firm performing the audit, subject to reasonable substantiation thereof. If such accounting firm’s written report shows any overpayment of Commercial Milestone Payments or Contingent Payments, Purchaser shall receive a credit equal to such overpayment against the Commercial Milestone Payments or Contingent Payments otherwise payable to Seller or a refund in immediately available cash, as specified by Purchaser, which credit or refund shall be reduced by the reasonable fees and expenses of such accounting firm performing the audit, subject to reasonable substantiation thereof.

(vii) Interest. Except for any payment due pursuant to the Secured Promissory Note, any payment of any sums due and payable to Seller hereunder, that is more than forty-five (45) days past due (a “Default”) shall be subject to interest at an annual percentage rate equal to the greater of (A) [***] and (B) [***] if such payment is not made within forty-five (45) days of Purchaser’s receipt of notice that such amount is past due. Likewise, any overpayment that is not refunded within forty-five (45) days after the date upon which Purchaser requested the refund of such overpayment pursuant to Section 2.05(e)(vi) shall thereafter be subject to interest at an annual percentage rate equal to the greater of (A) [***] and (B) [***]. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Party contests any amounts due hereunder in good faith and promptly notifies the other Party of such dispute, interest shall not accrue as to amounts being so contested until forty-five (45) days following the presentation of such notice to the other Party.

(viii) Late Payment Collection. Except for any payment due pursuant to the Secured Promissory Note, if a Party (for purposes of this Section 2.05(e)(viii), the “Notifying Party”) determines in good faith that another Party failed to pay any sum (in immediately available funds) when due and owing (for purposes of this Section 2.05(e)(viii), the “Notified Party”), then, the Notifying Party shall promptly send written notice of such determination to the Notified Party. If the Notified Party either (i) acknowledges that such amounts are due and owing but fails to make such payment within five (5) Business Days of receiving such notice or (ii) denies that such amounts are due, the Notified Party shall reimburse the Notifying Party for all costs incurred in collecting any payments conclusively determined to have been overdue and related interest, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal costs, court costs and collection agency fees; provided, however, that if a court or neutral arbiter determines that no amounts had been due or owing at the time the Notifying Party delivered its notice to the Notified Party, the Notifying Party will reimburse the Notified Party for all costs incurred in defending itself, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal costs, court costs and collection agency fees. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid pursuant this Section 2.05(e)(viii) will not also be deemed Losses for the purposes of indemnification under ARTICLE VII.

(ix) Taxes. All payments under this Agreement shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax. The net amount of any payment by Purchaser or Purchaser Related Party to Seller under this Agreement shall be in the amount specified under this Agreement, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax paid by Purchaser or any Purchaser Related Party, which shall not reduce the amount of the required payment.

If during such period, Purchaser elects to dispose of such records and documents (other than in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of Purchaser’s business or assets or other assignment of Purchaser’s rights hereunder pursuant to Section 8.06), Purchaser shall give Seller and Stryker sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, during which period Seller and Stryker shall have the right to take such records and documents without further consideration, except as prohibited by any applicable Law. In the event of a sale of all or substantially all of Purchaser’s business or assets or other assignment of Purchaser’s rights hereunder pursuant to Section 8.06 within five (5) years after the Closing, the acquirer of Purchaser’s business or assets or assignee of Purchaser’s rights shall agree to be bound by this Section 6.15(b) for the remainder of such five (5) year period.

(c) For a period of five (5) years after the Closing, and except as prohibited by any applicable Law, upon the reasonable request of Purchaser and at Purchaser’s sole expense, Seller and Stryker shall provide Purchaser and its representatives with reasonable access to make copies of (i) any books, files (including financial accounting information), papers, correspondence, documents, databases, software, reports, laboratory notebooks, plans and records that remain in Seller’s or Stryker’s possession at the time of such request that are related to the BMP-7 Products, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities that are not transferred to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.07 and (ii) any tangible and intangible embodiments of the

Transferred Know-How that are not transferred to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.06 that remain in Seller’s or Stryker’s possession at the time of such request (the records described in clause (i) and clause (ii), collectively, the “Retained Books and Records”), as may be necessary or useful in connection with any Third Party litigation, the conduct of any audit or investigation by a Governmental Authority, or any similar or related matter. Nothing in this Section 6.15(c) shall be construed to impose any duty or obligation on Seller or Stryker to retain, store or preserve any Retained Books and Records after the Closing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no right to receive, copy or otherwise obtain or review any Tax Returns, Tax records, Tax workpapers, financial accounting records and any other similar Tax or financial accounting documents of Seller or Stryker except the limited right to review financial accounting information provided in Section 6.15(c)(i).

SECTION 6.16. Noncompetition Agreement.

(a) For and in consideration of the transactions contemplated herein, and so long as any payments due and payable by Purchaser to Seller under Section 2.04 are not in Default, during the period commencing with the Closing and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing, Seller and Stryker shall not engage in any Competitive Activity in the Territory.

(b) “Competitive Activity” means directly or indirectly engaging in the Exploitation of BMP-7 Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller or Stryker acquires (1) a Third Party (including by a merger or consolidation) so that such Third Party becomes an Affiliate of Stryker or (2) all or substantially all of the assets of a Third Party, and such business or assets so acquired by the acquisition include the rights to BMP-7 Products that represent less than twenty percent (20%) of such Third Party’s total assets or gross sales, then such acquisition or the Exploitation of such BMP-7 Products shall not be deemed to constitute a Competitive Activity.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.16 shall not prevent Seller or Stryker from beneficially owning up to five percent (5%), on a fully-diluted basis, of the total shares of all classes of stock outstanding of any corporation having securities listed on the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange or traded on NASDAQ.

(d) It is the understanding of the Parties that the scope of the covenants contained in this Section 6.16, both as to time and area covered, are necessary to protect the rights of Purchaser and the goodwill that is a part of the business of Seller and Stryker to be acquired by Purchaser. It is the Parties’ intention that these covenants be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent) in time, area and degree of participation as is permitted by the law of that jurisdiction whose law is found to be applicable to any acts in breach of these covenants. It being the purpose of this Agreement to govern competition by Seller and Stryker in the Territory, these covenants shall be governed by and construed according to that law (from among those jurisdictions arguably applicable to this Agreement and those in which a breach of this Agreement is alleged to have occurred or to be threatened) which best gives them effect. The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this Section 6.16 shall be deemed, and shall be construed, as separate and independent agreements between Purchaser on the one hand, and Seller and Stryker,

respectively, on the other. If such agreement or any part of such agreement is held invalid, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability shall in no way render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part of them or any separate agreement not declared invalid, void or unenforceable; and this Agreement shall in such case be construed as if the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions were omitted.

(e) The Parties agree that the covenants of Seller and Stryker not to compete contained in this Section 6.16 may be assigned by Purchaser to any Person to whom this Agreement may be assigned by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.06. It is the Parties’ intention that these covenants of Seller and Stryker shall inure to the benefit of any Person that may succeed to the Purchased Assets and the business of Seller and Stryker to be acquired by Purchaser under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 with the same force and effect as if these covenants were made directly with such successor.

ARTICLE VII.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.01. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall survive the Closing until the date which is eighteen (18) months after the Closing; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 (Organization; Good Standing and Qualification; Authority and Binding Effect), Section 3.02 (No Conflict), Section 3.03 (Governmental Consents and Approvals), Section 3.05(c) and Section 3.05(d) (Compliance with Laws) and the first sentence of Section 3.07 (Title) shall survive the Closing indefinitely (collectively, the “Excluded Representations”). Each Indemnified Party must give written notice to the respective Indemnifying Party of any claim for indemnification under this Article VII in accordance with Section 7.05. Any claim for indemnification made in writing by the Indemnified Party on or prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall survive, and may continue to be asserted and indemnified against, until such claim is finally and fully resolved. All of the covenants and other agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled.

SECTION 7.02. Indemnification by Seller and Stryker. Purchaser and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by Seller and Stryker, jointly and severally, from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from: (a) the breach or violation of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Seller or Stryker contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (b) the breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Seller or Stryker contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; and (c) the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities.

SECTION 7.03. Indemnification by Purchaser. Seller and Stryker, and each of their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified, defended and

held harmless by Purchaser from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from: (a) the breach or violation of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (b) the breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; and (c) the Assumed Liabilities.

SECTION 7.04. Limits on Indemnification.

(a) An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Losses for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a) unless such Losses exceeds $25,000 (the “Indemnity Basket”). If the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceed the Indemnity Basket, the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified, subject to the provisions of ARTICLE VII, for the amount of such Losses that are in excess of the Indemnity Basket. The maximum amount of Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a) shall be capped at an amount equal to the total of (i) the amount paid and the amount due and payable, but not in Default, by Purchaser to Seller under Section 2.04 and (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the amount paid, if any, and the amount due and payable, but not in Default, by Purchaser to Seller under Section 2.05 hereof (together, the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.04(a) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Excluded Representation.

(b) The maximum amount of Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Excluded Representation shall be capped at an amount equal to the total of (i) the amount paid and the amount due and payable, but not in Default, by Purchaser to Seller under Section 2.04 and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount paid, if any, and the amount due and payable, but not in Default, by Purchaser to Seller under Section 2.05 hereof (together, the “Excluded Representation Cap”).

(c) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Losses (net of the present value of any increase in premiums actually imposed by the applicable insurance carrier as a result of the occurrence of the Loss and all costs and expenses incurred in recovering such insurance proceeds with respect to such Loss).

(d) For purposes of this ARTICLE VII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, “material adverse effect” or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

SECTION 7.05. Consequential Damages. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.

SECTION 7.06. Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by written notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that any Action shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any Third Party in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 7.04) (each, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party no later than ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party has knowledge of the Third Party Claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice in compliance with this Section 7.06(b) of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified by it hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of defense to a Third Party Claim (i) involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief other than monetary damages is sought, (ii) involving a purported class action, (iii) if the Indemnifying Party has not notified the Indemnified Party in writing that it will be liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect

to all Losses relating to such Third Party Claim subject to the limitations of Section 7.04 or (iv) if the Third Party Claim relates to the Transferred Intellectual Property. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified by it hereunder, it shall within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, or is not permitted to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to the proviso to the third sentence of this Section 7.06(b), the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim, subject to the provisions below. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. The Parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.06 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless (i) the claimant provides to such other Party an unqualified release of the Indemnified and Indemnifying Parties from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) such settlement does not involve any injunctive relief binding upon the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) such settlement does not encumber any of the material assets of any Indemnified Party or impose any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business and (iv) such settlement does not involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable Third Party claimant, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Section 7.04, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the Indemnified Party declines to accept such offer, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest such Third Party Claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (x) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept or (y) the aggregate Losses of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(c) In the event that the Indemnified Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.06, the Indemnifying Party will (i) advance the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (ii) remain

responsible for any and all other Losses that the Indemnified Party may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VII.

SECTION 7.07. Tax Treatment. To the extent permitted by Law, the Parties agree to treat all payments made under ARTICLE II, this ARTICLE VII, under any other indemnity provision contained in this Agreement, and for any misrepresentations or breach of warranties or covenants, as adjustments to the purchase price for all Tax purposes. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, no Party will take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return.

SECTION 7.08. Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

SECTION 7.09. Remedies. From and after the Closing, except as specifically provided herein, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation, warranty covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against any Indemnifying Party with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.09 shall not operate to limit the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) or any remedies available to it under applicable Law with respect to a Party’s failure to comply with its indemnification obligations hereunder.

SECTION 7.10. Offset Rights. Purchaser shall have the right to set off any amounts owed by Seller or Stryker to Purchaser under this ARTICLE VII against any amounts owed by Purchaser to Seller or Stryker pursuant to Section 2.04 and against twenty percent (20%) of the amounts owed by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to Section 2.05, as contemplated by Section 7.04(a), and against one hundred percent (100%) of the amounts owed by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to Section 2.05, as contemplated by Section 7.04(b). For the avoidance of doubt, any Losses incurred by Purchaser in excess of the Cap or the Excluded Representation Cap in effect at the time that such Losses were claimed may be set off against later payments made to Seller by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.04 or Section 2.05, subject to the Cap or Excluded Representation Cap in effect at the time each such later payment is made. If Purchaser intends to exercise such right, it shall provide written notice to Seller, and if Seller disputes Purchaser’s notice, the amount claimed to be subject to set-off shall thereafter be paid by Purchaser into escrow until the claim is resolved by (a) written agreement of Purchaser and Seller, or (b) a final, non-appealable judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority. If such resolution upholds

the set-off in whole or in part, the funds paid into escrow shall be released first to Purchaser in an amount equal to the amount of such determination, and the remaining escrow funds, if any, shall then promptly be released to Seller. If such resolution denies the set-off, the funds paid into escrow shall promptly be released to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all funds paid into escrow shall promptly be released to Seller if: (i) the dispute has not been resolved within 180 days after delivery by Purchaser of the applicable set-off notice to Seller and (ii) prior to the conclusion of such period (or such longer period as Purchaser and Seller may agree) neither Purchaser nor Seller has commenced an Action with respect to the claimed set-off.

ARTICLE VIII.

SECTION 8.03. Public Announcements. From and after the Effective Date, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any Party without the prior written consent of all the Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the rules or regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

SECTION 8.04. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such

determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 8.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 8.06. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the other Parties, save that (a) any Party may assign, in whole or in part, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without the express written consent of the other Party, (b) any Party may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a successor of all or substantially all of its business or assets (whether by merger, acquisition, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise) without the express written consent of the other Parties, (c) Purchaser may assign to a successor of any line of business of Purchaser (whether by sale of assets or otherwise) its rights and obligations under this Agreement, to the extent applicable to such line of business, with the express written consent of Seller and Stryker, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that such consent may be withheld by Seller and Stryker if, in their collective reasonable opinion, Purchaser’s successor does not have the financial wherewithal to assume and perform Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Transferred Contracts and (d) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser may direct Seller or Stryker to transfer any of the Purchased Assets (or any part thereof) to an Affiliate of Purchaser rather than to Purchaser itself.

SECTION 8.07. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Parties hereto or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 8.08.

SECTION 8.08. Waiver. Any Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Party or conditions to such Party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

SECTION 8.09. Force Majeure.

landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms (including but not limited to tornadoes and hurricanes), sinkholes, floods, or washouts; (b) labor shortage or trouble including strikes or injunctions (whether or not within the reasonable control of such party); (c) inability to obtain material, equipment or transportation; (d) national defense requirements, war, acts of terrorism, blockades, insurrections, sabotage, riots, arrests and restraints of the government, either federal or state, civil or military (including any governmental taking by eminent domain or otherwise); or (e) any applicable Law or the enforcement thereof by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, that limits or prevents a Party from performing its obligations hereunder or any notice from any such Governmental Authority of its intention to fine or penalize such Party or otherwise impede or limit such Party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 8.10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of New York; provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state court. Consistent with the preceding sentence, the Parties hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

SECTION 8.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12.

SECTION 8.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or .pdf transmission.

SECTION 8.14. Construction; Headings. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by each of the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation hereof.

SECTION 8.15. Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties may be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement and any of the Ancillary Agreements are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached or violated. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the other Parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any Action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
