2.	DEVELOPMENT.

2.1 Development Activities.

(a) In consideration of the payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.4 and subject to Section 2.2, CryoCor will conduct all services and activities to be conducted by CryoCor under the Program in accordance with the Development Plan (“Services”). The Development Plan includes a description of items (“Deliverables”) to be provided by CryoCor to BSC, including the initial specifications and requirements for the BSC Console as set forth on Exhibit A and the initial specifications and requirements to be developed for the Cryo Console and to be added to Exhibit A by amendment (the “Specifications”). The Development Plan may be updated from time to time by mutual agreement of CryoCor and BSC following any agreed-upon changes in the Services, Deliverables or Specifications.

(b) CryoCor agrees to perform Services in full compliance with the Specifications and other requirements of the Development Plan and in all instances in accordance with professional standards and practices.

(c) BSC shall be entitled to a reasonable amount of time to test each Deliverable, but in no event more than twenty-one (21) days from the date of receipt of the applicable Deliverable, to determine whether such Deliverable meets the Specifications of the Development Plan (the “Evaluation Period”). Acceptance of any Deliverable, for payment purposes, shall not be deemed to have taken place unless and until BSC has accepted or is deemed to have accepted such Deliverable as having met the Specifications of the Development Plan. BSC shall be deemed to have accepted any Deliverable if BSC provides CryoCor with a written notice of its acceptance or if BSC does not deliver written notice to CryoCor within the Evaluation Period of Nonconformity of such Deliverable pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (“Acceptance”). No other method of acceptance, including those specified in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, shall apply to the acceptance of Deliverables hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the time periods specified in the Development Plan for the achievement of each Milestone shall not commence until the Deliverable for the prior Milestone has been Accepted by BSC.

(d) If, during the Evaluation Period, BSC determines that a given Deliverable fails to conform to the Specifications of the Development Plan (“Nonconformity”), BSC shall notify CryoCor in a writing specifying the nature and extent of the Nonconformity. CryoCor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any Nonconformity that can be cured as promptly as possible, but in any event within ten (10) business days of CryoCor’s receipt of BSC’s notice, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. BSC shall test the re-delivered Deliverable in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If BSC does not accept the Deliverable in accordance with Section 2.1(c) upon a re-delivery of such Deliverable, then no payment shall be made by BSC with respect to the Milestone for such Deliverable, and either BSC may terminate this Agreement under Section 8.2(b) or the parties may change the Development Plan in accordance with Section 2.1(e). Failure to deliver Deliverables on time shall count as a Nonconformity for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence.

(e) Either party may, upon reasonable notice to the other party in writing, request changes to the Development Plan by notifying such other party of the requested change, including such details as will allow such other party to evaluate it (a “Change Request”). Within ten (10) business days after receipt by CryoCor of a Change Request by BSC or in connection with CryoCor providing a Change Request to BSC, as applicable, CryoCor will, at its own expense, deliver a document to BSC that (i) assesses whether and the extent to which the requested change causes an increase or decrease in the costs or time required for performance of the Services, and (ii) incorporates a description of the activities required to implement the requested changes (a “Change Control Document”). If BSC accepts the Change Control Document in writing, then the provisions of this Agreement and the Development Plan shall be deemed amended to incorporate such change in accordance with the Change Control Document. If BSC does not accept such Change Control Document, the parties will attempt to agree on a good faith equitable adjustment in writing of the revised costs or time of performance, or both, but no change will be made to this Agreement or the Development Plan unless agreed in writing by the parties. There will be no additional charges for any additional Services provided in respect of the Development Plan that do not comply with the Change Request procedures set forth in this Section 2.1(e).

(f) While CryoCor alone shall be entitled to determine who of its personnel will be assigned to perform the Development Plan, CryoCor shall be responsible for ensuring that each is fully qualified to perform the Services, and to develop the Deliverables required, in accordance with the provisions of the Development Plan and this Section 2.1. CryoCor may delegate or subcontract the performance of Services to third party subcontractors, provided that (i) CryoCor controls the delivery of such Services to BSC, and remains fully responsible to BSC for the delivery of such Services and any breach of this Agreement by such third party, and further provided that such subcontractor agrees in writing to comply with confidentiality restrictions at least as stringent as those set forth in this Agreement and (ii) CryoCor provides BSC with prior written notice of the identity of any such subcontractor.

(g) CryoCor acknowledges that BSC will not be providing CryoCor or any of its employees, contractors, or agents with any manner of workers’ compensation or any other type of insurance coverage in connection with the Program, nor will BSC be withholding from any amounts payable for the Services, any federal, state, local and foreign taxes, including but not limited to, any social security taxes, disability, or unemployment insurance payments, nor any duties, tariffs, levies and similar assessment taxes. CryoCor agrees to be solely responsible for any and all such amounts described in the preceding sentence, and agrees to fully indemnify and hereby hold BSC harmless from and against all such amounts, as well as from and against any and all claims arising out of the disability or injury of any of CryoCor’s employees, contractors, or agents in performance of the Program to the extent that such indemnity is enforceable at law.

(h) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THE PROGRAM OR THAT THE MILESTONES WILL BE ACHIEVED OR THE PROGRAM WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.

2.2 Election of Program Options. Within (i) twenty-one (21) days after BSC’s Acceptance of Milestone One, BSC shall deliver a written notice to CryoCor of BSC’s election to proceed or not proceed with the First Option and/or the Second Option and (ii) five (5) days after BSC’s Acceptance of Milestone One, CryoCor shall deliver to BSC a list of any Intellectual Property Rights owned or licensed by CryoCor which shall be included in the CryoCor Third Option Intellectual Property. Within twenty-one (21) days after delivery of such list of Intellectual Property Rights, BSC shall deliver a written notice to CryoCor of BSC’s election to proceed or not proceed with the Third Option. BSC’s election to proceed with the Third Option is subject to BSC also electing the First Option or the Second Option. If BSC elects to proceed with the Third Option, BSS, BSC and CryoCor shall enter into a separate mutually satisfactory development and license agreement (the “Third Option Development and License Agreement”). To the extent that BSC declines to proceed with any of the Program Options, any provision of this Agreement which relates to such Program Option shall be of no force and effect.

2.3 Updates and Information.

(a) CryoCor and BSC will periodically meet, at such times and places as are mutually agreed upon, and in person or by telephone or videoconference as mutually agreed upon, for the purpose of having CryoCor provide an update on the status of the progress of CryoCor’s

activities under the Program. Such meetings will occur no less often than once per calendar month unless the parties agree, in writing, to meet less often. CryoCor and BSC will each be responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with attending such meetings.

(b) BSC hereby grants to CryoCor a non-exclusive research license under the BSC Intellectual Property and BSC Console Program Intellectual Property solely to the extent necessary for CryoCor to perform its activities under the Program. Each party shall make available to the other party all scientific, medical, technical and other data, reports and other information as may be reasonably requested by such party from time to time for the performance of the Program. Without limiting the foregoing, CryoCor shall provide BSC with any analysis of Intellectual Property Rights relating to the Deliverables or the Program as is reasonably requested by BSC from time to time.

(c) CryoCor shall keep BSC reasonably apprised of regulatory interactions and similar activities with governmental authorities and international bodies in connection with the Program.

2.4 Payments.

(iv) Upon BSC’s Acceptance of Milestone Six (as set forth in the Development Plan), BSC shall pay CryoCor $[…***…].

(b) If BSC seeks additional development services from CryoCor, and CryoCor agrees to perform such development, then, subject to the mutual agreement of the parties, BSC shall provide CryoCor with funding for CryoCor’s responsibilities under the development plan adopted by the parties in connection with such development work and the parties shall agree on terms and conditions for the performance of such development. BSC funding for such additional development work may include installment payments paid upon the delivery of work product. In the event that the parties agree upon additional development work pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), BSC and CryoCor shall negotiate mutually agreeable terms for each such additional development project. If BSC elects to proceed with the Third Option, the Third Option Development and License Agreement shall contain the scope of the additional development work required for the Third Option.

In consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from the exchange of Confidential Information, BSC, BSS and CryoCor agree as follows:

(a) Confidential Information of a disclosing party shall be treated and safeguarded hereunder by the receiving party during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years from the date of disclosure and with the same degree of care with which it treats its own Confidential Information of like character (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) and will not use Confidential Information of the other party for any purposes other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The parties agree that all CryoCor Intellectual Property and CryoCor Program Intellectual Property shall be Confidential Information of CryoCor and CryoCor shall be considered the disclosing party and BSC and BSS shall be considered the receiving party with respect to such Confidential Information. The parties further agree that all BSC Intellectual Property and BSC Program Intellectual Property shall be Confidential Information of BSC and BSC and BSS shall be considered the disclosing party and CryoCor shall be considered the receiving party with respect to such Confidential Information. The receiving party warrants that it applies reasonable safeguards against the unauthorized disclosure

and use of Confidential Information. The foregoing restrictions concerning confidentiality, use and disclosure shall not apply to any such Confidential Information that, as demonstrated by the receiving party by competent evidence:

(i) prior to the time of such disclosure is independently known by the receiving party without restriction concerning disclosure or commercial use;

(ii) prior to or subsequent to the time of such disclosure has entered the public domain other than through disclosure by the receiving party;

(iii) subsequent to the time of such disclosure becomes or is made available to the receiving party without restriction concerning disclosure or commercial use by a third party having the lawful right to do so;

However, the receiving party’s confidentiality obligations set forth in this paragraph and in paragraph (a) above shall not require it to take any greater care (but at least a reasonable degree of care) to keep such information confidential than the receiving party regularly employs with respect to its own confidential information. To the extent practicable, in the event that the receiving party is required to disclose any Confidential Information of the other party pursuant to any law, regulation or judicial or administrative directive, the receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party in order to allow the disclosing party a reasonable period of time to obtain protective or confidential treatment of the Confidential Information before it is disclosed.

(c) Neither receipt by the receiving party of the Confidential Information nor the receiving party’s evaluation and examination of it shall impair or limit the receiving party’s right to contest the validity of any patent that may have been or may hereafter be issued in respect of any of the Confidential Information.

(d) The receiving party is under no obligation by virtue of its acceptance of any Confidential Information of the other party to reveal any information with respect to its activities in the field of technology pertaining to such Confidential Information or the details of the receiving party’s evaluation or testing with respect thereto, except as expressly required by this Agreement.

FORM OF PRESS RELEASE

Boston Scientific and CryoCor Announce Strategic Collaboration in Atrial Fibrillation

SAN DIEGO and NATICK, Mass., June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/—CryoCor, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRYO - News) and Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX - News) today announced a strategic collaboration in the field of cryoablation, or the use of extreme cold, for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The collaboration involves the co-development of therapeutic solutions for atrial fibrillation, or Afib. Afib is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and affects approximately 6 million patients around the globe, and it is estimated that over $9.0 billion is spent annually in the United States on healthcare costs associated with Afib.

The collaboration involves the co-development of a console intended to deliver cryo energy to Boston Scientific’s proprietary cryo balloon catheter for the treatment of Afib. Under the collaboration, CryoCor will be responsible for the development, and possible manufacture, of a cryoablation console for use with Boston Scientific’s internally developed cryo-therapy balloon, which may incorporate some of CryoCor’s catheter technologies. Upon successful achievement of pre-established development milestones, Boston Scientific has agreed to make certain payments to CryoCor. Boston Scientific also has agreed to pay CryoCor royalties on the sale by Boston Scientific of the products developed under the collaboration. In addition to the development program, Boston Scientific purchased shares of CryoCor common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million, and agreed to purchase an additional $2.5 million of common stock upon successful achievement of certain development milestones.

Boston Scientific intends to market its cryo-therapy balloon for the treatment of Afib, subject to regulatory approvals. Boston Scientific’s cryo balloon is being developed to attempt to provide a safe, standardized, and broadly applicable method to isolate the electrical activity originating from the pulmonary veins, which are believed to be a source for the initiation and propagation of Afib.

Joe Fitzgerald, President of Boston Scientific’s Electrophysiology Division, stated, “we believe that the proposed combination of CryoCor’s proprietary console design and cryogenics expertise, along with Boston Scientific’s extensive history of balloon catheter leadership, will be a significant strategic and competitive advantage in the Afib market.”

Ed Brennan, Chief Executive Officer of CryoCor, said, “we are pleased that Boston Scientific chose to collaborate with CryoCor for the development of this important product. We view this relationship as further validation of cryoablation, and CryoCor specifically, and we believe that Boston Scientific can provide valuable assistance to us as we prepare for the launch of our cryoablation system in the United States.”
