6B.8 Matrix III Milestone Determination Procedures.

(a) Payment Obligations. MTF will, in each case, provide to Orthofix written notice (the “Matrix III Notice of Achievement”) in the event it has achieved a Matrix III Development Milestone (other than the first Matrix III Development Milestone, which shall be deemed achieved upon execution and delivery of Amendment No. 3 by both Parties; and it being acknowledged and agreed that the Matrix III Notice of Achievement with respect to the third Matrix III Development Milestone may not be provided unless and until MTF has achieved the second Matrix III Development Milestone and provided to Orthofix the Matrix III Notice of Achievement with respect thereto). Subject to the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of the Matrix III Notice of Achievement of each Matrix III Development Milestone and in any event within ten (10) business days after the date of the Matrix III Notice of Achievement of any such Matrix III Development Milestone, Orthofix will pay to MTF the applicable payment amount for such Matrix III Development Milestone set forth in Section 6B.7; provided, however, that each such payment shall be subject to Orthofix’s confirmation, as hereinafter set forth, that the Matrix III Development Milestone covered by such Matrix III Notice of Achievement has been achieved and in no event will Orthofix be liable for, and MTF will not be entitled to, the applicable payment amount for any Matrix III Development Milestone that is not achieved.

(b) Standards for Confirmation. Orthofix shall have the right to withhold payment due in respect of a Matrix III Notice of Achievement covering the second Matrix III Development Milestone solely in the event that (i) MTF has not provided a Notice of Achievement with respect thereto, or (ii) the initial Matrix III Specifications have not been determined by the Steering Committee or otherwise pursuant to ARTICLE XIX, or (iii) the data contained in the Matrix III Pre-Clinical Data Package fails reasonably to indicate that the Matrix III meets the Matrix III Specifications. Orthofix shall have the right to withhold payment due in respect of a Matrix III Notice of Achievement covering the third Matrix III Development Milestone solely in the event that (i) MTF has not provided a Notice of Achievement with respect thereto or with respect to the second Matrix III Development Milestone, or (ii) the results of a physical inventory of the Matrix III and inspection of MTF’s books and records related to the production of the Matrix III fail reasonably to demonstrate the existence of the required amount of inventory and work in process and the capacity to support ongoing release of the Matrix III.

(c) Dispute Resolution. If Orthofix disagrees with MTF’s claim regarding the achievement of a Matrix III Development Milestone as set forth in a Matrix III Notice of Achievement, then Orthofix will refer the dispute to the Steering Committee as promptly as practicable and, in any event, prior to the date on which payment relating thereto is due, and will provide the Steering

Committee with an explanation of the basis for Orthofix’s determination that the applicable Matrix III Development Milestone was not achieved on the date claimed by MTF. The Steering Committee will meet as promptly as practicable to resolve the dispute. If the Steering Committee has not resolved the dispute within ten (10) business days after referral of the dispute by Orthofix, the dispute will be resolved in accordance with ARTICLE XIX. In the event of any determination by the Steering Committee or pursuant to ARTICLE XIX that a Matrix III Development Milestone has not been achieved as set forth in a Matrix III Notice of Achievement, MTF shall thereafter deliver to Orthofix a new Matrix III Notice of Achievement in the event it has achieved such Development Milestone.”
