Prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a balance sheet of the Company dated as of the Closing Date which discloses all the Company Liabilities (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 1.8(c).

1.9

Contingent Merger Consideration. As additional consideration for the Merger and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.9, Section 1.11 (Dissenting Shares) and Section 5.6 (Right of Set-Off), Parent shall make the following additional payments (collectively, the “Contingent Merger Consideration” and, together with the Initial Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”) to the Payment Agent for distribution in accordance with Schedule 1.8(b):

(a)

Milestone Payments.

	(i)		If Parent achieves the Hospital CPT Code Milestone, Parent shall pay, in accordance with Schedule 1.8(b), an additional Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) within 45 days after the achievement of the Hospital CPT Code Milestone (the “Hospital CPT Code Milestone Payment”).
	(ii)		If Parent achieves the Office CPT Code Milestone, Parent shall pay, in accordance with Schedule 1.8(b), an additional Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) within 45 days after the achievement of the Office CPT Code Milestone (the “Office CPT Code Milestone Payment”).
	(iii)		Parent shall pay, in accordance with Schedule 1.8(b), an amount equal to the difference between Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000), minus the amount of any Hospital CPT Code Milestone Payment or Office CPT Code Milestone Payment already paid if: (A) the Product has been approved for marketing or sale in the United States by the FDA; and (B) an Office CPT code that covers the Product has been issued; and (C) Parent has elected to commercialize the Product (the “Commercialization Milestone Payment” and together with the Hospital CPT Code Milestone Payment and the Office CPT Code Milestone Payment, the “Milestone Payments”).
	(iv)		In no event shall the aggregate amount payable by Parent in accordance with Section 1.9(a)(i), Section 1.9(a)(ii) and Section 1.9(a)(iii) exceed six million dollars ($6,000,000).

(b)

Revenue Payments.

(i)

Upon the earlier to occur of: (A) the achievement of either: (1) the Commercialization Milestone Payment; or (2) the Hospital CPT Code Milestone Payment and the Office CPT Code Milestone Payment, or (B) the date of written notice from the Stockholders’ Representative that it would like the revenue payments to commence (the “Revenue Payment Commencement Date”), Parent shall make the following additional payments:

(1) An amount equal to the excess, if any, of Net Sales during the first calendar year following the calendar year in which the Revenue Payment Commencement Date occurs (“Year One”) over Net Sales during the calendar year in which the Revenue Payment Commencement Date occurs (“Year Zero”) (the “First Revenue Payment”);

(2) An amount equal to one-half (¹/2) times the excess, if any, of Net Sales during the calendar year following Year One (“Year

Two”) over Net Sales in Year One (the “Second Revenue Payment”); and

(3) An amount equal to one-half (¹/2) times the excess, if any, of Net Sales during the calendar year following Year Two (“Year Three”) over Net Sales in Year Two (the “Third Revenue Payment” and, together with the First Revenue Payment and the Second Revenue Payment, the “Revenue Payments”).

	(ii)		Parent shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative, no later than sixty (60) days following the last day of each of Year Zero, Year One, Year Two and Year Three a statement, with reasonable detail and accompanied by detailed schedules and work papers providing reasonable support for such determination, reflecting Parent’s calculation of Net Sales during such applicable twelve-month period (each a “Revenue Calculation”). The Stockholders’ Representative shall not distribute these statements to any Person. Each Revenue Calculation will be deemed to be accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative and shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the applicable Revenue Calculation, unless the Stockholders’ Representative shall have delivered to Parent within fifteen (15) days following delivery of a Revenue Calculation a written statement objecting to any of the information contained in the applicable Revenue Calculation, specifying in reasonable detail the amount in dispute and accompanied by detailed schedules and work papers providing reasonable support for such determination.
	(iii)		The Stockholders’ Representative may cause an audit to be made of those books and records of Parent that are necessary to review and audit the statements delivered pursuant to Section 1.9(b)(ii) and created in connection with each applicable Revenue Calculation. Any such audit shall be conducted only by an independent certified accountant selected by the Stockholders’ Representative and reasonably acceptable to Parent, after prior written notice to Parent, and shall be conducted during regular business hours at Parent’s offices and in such a manner so as not to interfere with Parent’s normal business activities. Parent agrees to permit such accountant, during normal business hours, to have reasonable access to, and to examine and make copies of, those books and records of Parent that such accountant, in his or her sole discretion, deems necessary to review and audit the applicable Revenue Calculation. Neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor such accountant will have the right to review or audit any other books and records of Parent. In no event shall more than one audit be conducted, nor shall the records supporting any statements be audited more than once for the same purpose. In the event any such audit reveals any discrepancy less than five percent

			(5%) of the Net Sales for the period audited, the Stockholders shall pay for the reasonable third party costs and expenses of such audit. In the event any such audit reveals any discrepancy greater than or equal to five percent (5%) of the Net Sales for the period audited, Parent shall pay for the reasonable third party costs and expenses of such audit.
	(iv)		Subject to Section 5.6 (Right of Set-Off), within fifteen (15) days following final determination of the applicable Revenue Calculation pursuant to Section 1.9(b)(iii), Parent shall pay the applicable Revenue Payment, if any, owed hereunder to the Payment Agent for distribution in accordance with Schedule 1.8(b).
	(v)		Not more than two (2) times per any twelve month period prior to the Revenue Commencement Date, Stockholders’ Representative may deliver written notice to Parent requesting documentation regarding the status of Parent’s then current efforts, if any, to commercialize the Product.

	(c)		Development Period Contingency Payment. In the event that (i) Parent achieves the Office CPT Code Milestone, and (ii) the Parent and its Affiliates incur Product Development Expenses during the Development Period (as defined below) less than Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000), then Parent shall pay an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference between Sixteen Million Dollars ($16,000,000) and the aggregate amount of Product Development Expenses paid by the Parent and its Affiliates during the Development Period (the “Development Period Contingency Payment”), in accordance with Schedule 1.8(b). For the avoidance of doubt, no Development Period Contingency Payment shall be made if (i) Parent does not achieve the Office CPT Code Milestone or (ii) Parent and its Affiliates spend more than Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) on Product Development Expenses during the Development Period. For purposes hereunder, “Development Period” shall mean the period from Closing Date through the end of the calendar year in which the Parent achieves the Office CPT Code Milestone.
	(d)		Contingent Payments Not Certain. Each of Parent, the Company, the Principal Stockholders, and the Stockholders’ Representative hereby acknowledges that (i) the achievement of either or both of the Milestones and the amount of Net Sales, if any, that Parent and its Affiliates may generate is uncertain, (ii) Parent and its Affiliates may elect not to pursue either or both of the Milestones, may not achieve either or both of the Milestones and may not generate any Net Sales, and (iii) it is therefore not assured that Parent will be required to make any Milestone Payments or Revenue Payments for any particular year, or at all. Each of Parent, the Company, the Principal Stockholders, and the Stockholders’ Representative further acknowledges that Parent will not be required to make any Milestone Payments if Parent elects not to pursue the Milestones and the AMA subsequently issues a Hospital CPT Code or an Office CPT Code as a result of the efforts of third parties that could be used to seek reimbursement for procedures using the Products. Parent shall notify the Stockholders’ Representative in writing if Parent elects not to pursue the Milestones.
	(e)		Sale of Product. If during the period from the Effective Time and ending on the earlier of (i) five (5) years following the Effective Time or (ii) the payment of the

first Milestone Payment, Parent shall sell all or substantially all of the rights related to the Product (including the Intellectual Property related to the Product) to a Person other than an Affiliate of Parent, then Parent shall pay the Stockholders in accordance with Schedule 1.8(b) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of (x) the amount of all cash proceeds received by Parent from the sale of such rights minus (y) all fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Parent in connection with the negotiation and consummation of such sale that are payable to a third party (including, without limitation, all legal, accounting, financial advisory, investment banking, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties); provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply in case of a Change in Control of American Medical Systems Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent corporation of Parent (“AMS Holdings”), or the sale of a product line of Parent or an Affiliate of Parent that includes the rights to the Product, such that the acquiring entity assumes all of the Parent’s obligations under this Section 1.9 of the Agreement.

1.10

Cancellation and Conversion of Company Securities at the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any share of capital stock of the Company or Merger Subsidiary:

	(a)		Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each share of Company Common Stock, Series A-1 Stock, Series A-2 Stock, Series A-3 Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Company Stock Options and Company Warrants (collectively, the “Junior Company Securities”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Junior Company Securities held in the Company’s treasury, (ii) Junior Company Securities held by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary of Parent, and (iii) Dissenting Shares) shall receive $0.00 for each such share of Junior Company Securities and shall be cancelled without consideration therefore.
	(b)		Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock, Series F-1 Preferred Stock and Series G-1 Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Senior Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Senior Stock held in the Company’s treasury, (ii) Senior Stock held by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary of Parent, and (iii) Dissenting Shares) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the amounts set forth on Schedule 1.8(b).
	(c)		Each share of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger Subsidiary (“Merger Subsidiary Common Stock”), issued and outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”).
	(d)		Each share of Junior Company Securities and Senior Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of Junior Company Securities and Senior Stock held by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or

the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Subsidiary, the Company or the holder thereof, be canceled, retired and cease to exist without payment of any consideration therefore and without any conversion thereof.

1.11

Dissenting Shares.

	(a)		Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock that has not voted in favor of the Merger (if entitled to vote) and has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights in accordance with either Section 262 et. Seq. of DGCL or Section 1300 et. Seq. of the California Corporations Code (the “CCC”) (such holders are referred to as “Dissenting Stockholders” and such shares are referred to as “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but will become entitled to the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to the holders of such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL or CCC; provided, however, that any holder of Dissenting Shares who will have failed to perfect or who effectively will have withdrawn or lost such rights of appraisal under the DGCL or CCC will forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock, and such shares of Company Capital Stock will no longer be Dissenting Shares and, as of the later of the Effective Time or the loss of such status, will be deemed to have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
	(b)		The Company will give Parent and Merger Subsidiary prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any other related instruments received by the Company and Parent will have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands other than by operation of law or pursuant to a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.11 if (i) the Merger is terminated, rescinded or abandoned or (ii) if the Stockholders revoke the authority to effect the Merger, then the right of any Stockholder to be paid the fair value of such Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock will cease. The Surviving Corporation will comply with all obligations of the DGCL or CCC with respect to Dissenting Stockholders.

1.12

Escrow Procedure; Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

The Company, the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent and the Payment Agent shall enter into the Payment Agreement, and Parent, Stockholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent shall enter into the Escrow Agreement, for the benefit of the holders of Senior Stock for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration upon surrender of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time

			represented Senior Stock (in either case, the “Certificates”) and for the purpose of securing any indemnification obligation of the Stockholders under Section 5.2.
	(b)		At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Payment Agent pursuant to the Payment Agreement, for the benefit of the Stockholders, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount equal to the Net Initial Merger Consideration.
	(c)		To the extent that sums are released by the Payment Agent or the Escrow Agent to the Stockholders or the Parent in accordance with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Payment Agreement, any accumulated interest shall be distributed in accordance with the Payment Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, as the case may be.
	(d)		As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Payment Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Certificates: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for a cash payment of the proper Merger Consideration when and if it becomes payable under this Agreement, the Payment Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therfor by check or wire transfer, as the case may be, an amount equal to the proper Merger Consideration when and if it becomes payable under this Agreement, the Payment Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration upon the surrender of any Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Senior Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the proper Merger Consideration when and if it becomes payable under this Agreement may be paid to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Senior Stock, as applicable, is presented to the Payment Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such shares have been paid. Until surrendered and exchanged as contemplated by this Section 1.12, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender an amount equal to the proper Merger Consideration when and if it becomes payable under this Agreement, the Payment Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.
	(e)		In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent will, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder claiming such Certificate to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, pay the proper

			Merger Consideration as would be required pursuant to this Agreement but for the failure to deliver such Certificate to the Payment Agent; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
	(f)		The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates for exchange of Senior Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Senior Stock. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 1, except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law.
	(g)		Notwithstanding Section 1.12(d), neither the Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall be liable to any holder of Senior Stock for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
	(h)		To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any amounts of Merger Consideration, including any Escrow Funds and any set-off amounts pursuant to Section 5.6, remaining unclaimed by any holder of Senior Stock at the time the Escrow Agreement and Payment Agreement are terminated in accordance with their respective terms (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental entity) shall be delivered to Parent and shall become the property of the Parent, subject to the rights of any such Stockholder to claim such amounts from Parent.

In the event that the Stockholders are seeking indemnification as the Indemnified Party hereunder, or indemnification is sought against the Stockholders as an Indemnifying Party hereunder, then in either such case, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to act on behalf of, and receive notice on behalf of, the Stockholders for any and all purposes stated therein. In the case of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceedings of a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the notice to the Indemnifying Party will specify with reasonable specificity, if known, the basis under which the right to indemnification is being asserted and the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to dispute and defend all Third Party Claims and thereafter so defend and pay any adverse final judgment or award or settlement amount in regard thereto. Such defense shall be controlled by the Indemnifying Party, and the cost of such defense shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, except that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party must first acknowledge that the claim is a bona fide indemnification claim under this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the investigation, trial and defense of any such claim, including making personnel, books, and records relevant to the claim available to the Indemnifying Party, without charge, except for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. If the Indemnifying Party fails to take action within thirty (30) days as set forth above, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, compromise or defend any Third Party Claim and to assert the amount of any payment on the Third Party Claim plus the reasonable expenses of defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnified Party shall also have the right and upon delivery of advance written notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party, exercisable in good faith, to take such action as may be reasonably necessary to avoid a default prior to the assumption of the defense of the Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party, and any reasonable expenses incurred by Indemnified Party so acting shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnified Party will not, except at its own cost and expense, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld. The parties intend that all indemnification claims be made as promptly as practicable.

(b)

If the Indemnifying Party is of the opinion that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification, or is not entitled to indemnification in the amount claimed in such notice, the Indemnifying Party will deliver, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such notice, a written objection to such claim and written specifications in reasonable detail of the aspects or details objected to, and the grounds for such objection. If the Indemnifying Party filed timely written notice of objection to any claim for indemnification, the validity and amount of such claim will be determined by arbitration pursuant to Article 6. If timely notice of objection is not delivered or if a claim by an Indemnified Party is admitted in writing by an Indemnifying Party or if an arbitration award is made in favor of an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party, as a non-exclusive remedy, will have the right to set-off the amount of such claim or award against any amount yet owed, whether due or to become due, by the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary thereof to any Indemnifying Party by reason of this Agreement or any agreement or arrangement or contract to be entered into at the Closing.
