CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

[***] – CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH HAVE BEEN REDACTED ARE MARKED WITH BRACKETS (“[***]”). THE OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 28 2010, (the “Effective Date”), by and between (i) STARCH MEDICAL, INC., a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business at 2150 Ringwood Avenue, San Jose, California 95131(“SMI”), and (ii) CRYOLIFE, INC., a Florida corporation, having a principal place of business at 1655 Roberts Blvd. NW, Kennesaw, Georgia 30144 (“CryoLife”). SMI and CryoLife are herein sometimes referred to together as the “Parties” and individually each as a “Party”.

Background

WHEREAS, SMI has exclusive rights to a proprietary engineering process that modifies plant starch into ultra-hydrophilic, adhesive forming hemostatic polymers (SMI’s “Absorbable Modified Polymer” or “AMP™ technology”) to create biocompatible, absorbable hemostats containing no animal or human components;

WHEREAS, using the AMP™ technology, SMI produces its proprietary PerClot^® and OrthoClot^™ products (the “Products,” for which more details are provided in Schedule W-1, each a “Product”) that rapidly absorb water from blood, increasing the concentration of platelets, coagulation proteins and red blood cells at bleeding sites, and accelerates the physiologic clotting cascade;

WHEREAS, CryoLife desires to market, distribute, and sell the Products for use in all approved clinical applications (the “Permitted Clinical Applications” described in Schedule W-2) in all countries other than China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, North Korea, Iran and Syria (included countries, the “Territory” all as further set forth herein);

WHEREAS, SMI desires to appoint CryoLife as its exclusive distributor of Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory;

WHEREAS, while the United States is included in the Territory, the Parties acknowledge that no regulatory approvals exist for the use of the Products in the United States and that, therefore, the Products cannot be sold in the United States at this time;

WHEREAS, SMI and CryoLife are entering into a limited license and technology transfer agreement (the “License Agreement”) contemporaneously with this Agreement to supply CryoLife with SMI’s proprietary modified starch (the “Modified Starch”), license CryoLife to manufacture the Products using the Modified Starch, and authorize CryoLife to pursue, obtain and maintain regulatory approval in the United States to sell the Products;

WHEREAS, SMI and CryoLife are entering into a trademark assignment and license agreement (the “Trademark Assignment and License Agreement”) contemporaneously with this Agreement to assign to CryoLife the PerClot mark and to license back to SMI the right to use the PerClot mark outside of the Territory all as further set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, SMI and CryoLife are entering into a product development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) contemporaneously with this Agreement to address development of new products and product applications based on the AMP™ technology.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the Parties, SMI and CryoLife, agree as follows (with a glossary of defined terms in this Agreement set forth in Annex A to this Agreement):

1.	Appointment

1.1 Appointment. SMI hereby appoints CryoLife as the exclusive distributor of the Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory. CryoLife hereby accepts such appointment, which includes the right to appoint sub-distributors and sales representatives within the Territory.

1.2 License Grants. In support of the appointment in Section 1.1, SMI hereby grants to CryoLife the exclusive license to market, offer for sale, sell, have sold, distribute, have distributed, import and have imported (collectively, “Distribute” or “Distribution”) the Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory. The rights granted within the United States include the right to Distribute Products to support CryoLife’s efforts under the License Agreement to obtain Regulatory Approval in the United States. This license does not authorize CryoLife to manufacture Products nor prohibit SMI from selling Products to CryoLife for resale within the Territory. CryoLife shall be entitled to sublicense its rights under this Agreement to affiliates, sub-distributors and sales representatives involved in the Distribution of Products in the Territory. The Parties acknowledge that provisions of this license overlap provisions of the separate license granted to CryoLife in the License Agreement. The Parties agree that neither license shall be deemed a violation of the other license and that each license will stand on its own and survive any termination of the other license.

1.3 New Clinical Applications. Each Party agrees to notify the other Party in writing as and when it develops or obtains Regulatory Approval in the Territory for clinical applications for the Products that are not included within the Permitted Clinical Applications (each a “New Application,” collectively the “New Applications”). Each New Application shall be included within the Permitted Clinical Applications at the Transfer Prices applicable to the Product subtype. For each New Application obtained principally through the efforts of SMI, but not for other New Applications, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to adjust the Products Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements taking into consideration reasonable expectations of market increase for such New Application and any reasonable expectation of market decrease for existing Permitted Clinical Applications of Products. Each Party agrees to refrain from developing or from initiating efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval for New Applications until after January 1, 2012 without first obtaining the written consent of the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.3 shall be deemed to limit or prohibit any Party’s right to seek or obtain Regulatory Approval for the Permitted Clinical Applications in the Territory.

1.4 New Products. With the exception of products listed on Schedule 2.1, SMI agrees that prior to January 1, 2015, it is restricted from selling, marketing, distributing or licensing or permitting

others to do so for any new products that incorporate any powdered absorbable hemostat all as further set forth in Section 2.1 within the Territory. After January 1, 2015, SMI agrees to notify CryoLife in writing as and when it develops or obtains regulatory approval for any new products (with the exception of products listed on Schedule 2.1) that incorporate any powdered absorbable surgical hemostat, including the AMP™ technology, and that are more efficacious or commercially advantageous when compared to the Products (each a “New Product”). At CryoLife’s written request, SMI agrees to negotiate exclusively with CryoLife to grant CryoLife exclusive Distribution rights to the New Product within the Territory. If the Parties negotiate diligently and in good faith and are unable to reach agreement within six (6) months after CryoLife notifies SMI, this right of first negotiation shall be suspended as to the notified New Product for a period of six (6) months (the “Open Negotiation Period”) during which time SMI may negotiate with others to Distribute the notified New Product within the Territory upon terms and conditions more favorable to SMI than those last offered by CryoLife. As part of such negotiation the Parties must exchange written proposals about the terms proposed for such transaction. If, during the Open Negotiation Period, SMI receives a bona fide offer of terms with a Third Party that are acceptable to SMI for an agreement that includes Distribution of the New Product (a “Bona Fide Offer”), SMI shall notify and warrant to CryoLife in writing (an “Offer Notice”) of the receipt of a Bona Fide Offer prior to the termination of the Open Negotiation Period, which notice shall include the specific terms of such Bona Fide Offer. The Offer Notice shall constitute an offer to CryoLife for the Distribution of the New Product on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice. CryoLife shall have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the Offer Notice to accept the terms of the Offer Notice and notify SMI in writing of CryoLife’s acceptance of such offer. If the Bona Fide Offer includes payment to SMI of any equity securities or any other non-cash assets, CryoLife may substitute for such cash or other non-cash assets, shares of CryoLife’s capital stock or other assets of CryoLife with an equal fair market value. If CryoLife fails to deliver notice of its acceptance of the offer set forth in the Offer Notice, SMI shall be free to consummate the Bona Fide Offer with the Third Party who proposed the Bona Fide Offer within sixty (60) days after the expiration of CryoLife’s sixty (60) day first refusal right contained in this section. If SMI fails to consummate the Bona Fide Offer within such sixty (60) day period, SMI shall be prohibited from consummating such transaction and shall be required to negotiate with CryoLife as to the Distribution rights related to such New Product. The limitations contained in this section are in addition to the limitations contained in Section 2.1(iv) and the last two sentences of Section 2.1.

1.5 Product Applicators, Etc. SMI agrees to promptly notify CryoLife of all improvements to applicators, tips and other accessories included within or used in connection with the Products, including all new applicators, tips and other accessories. All such improvements and any such new applicators, tips or accessories to the Products shall be included within the Products and the Parties shall adjust the catalog of Products to reflect these new products, with any transfer price to be negotiated in good faith, but based solely on costs to SMI for such improvements and/or new applicators, tips and accessories. The Parties agree that the Endoscopic applicator system used for powder delivery via gastrointestinal endoscope, as further described on Schedule 2.1 is not an improvement or new applicator and is not included in this Agreement.

2.	Distribution

2.1 Limitations on SMI Activities. During the term of this Agreement SMI agrees (i) to sell the Products exclusively to CryoLife for use in Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory, (ii) to refrain from selling or licensing any Products to any Existing Distributor or Third Party for sale or distribution in Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory, (iii) to refrain from directly or indirectly marketing, promoting, or encouraging any Third Party to market, promote or Distribute the Products for any of the Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory, (iv) to refrain from licensing or transferring any AMP™ Technology to any Third Party within the Territory for the purpose of

manufacturing any Products upon terms or conditions that would enable or allow such Third Party to sell any Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory. In addition, SMI agrees that it shall refrain until January 1, 2015 from (A) directly, or indirectly selling, permitting to sell, market, promote or encouraging third parties to sell, permit to sell, market or promote any Competitive Product (defined below) for any Permitted Clinical Application within the Territory or (B) licensing or transferring to any Third Party technology that would enable or allow any Third Party to manufacture any Competitive Product within the Territory. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be deemed further modified so that SMI may only take the actions described therein if SMI complies with Section 1.4 (and therefore CryoLife does not match the right of first refusal set forth therein). As used herein, “Competitive Product” means any powdered absorbable surgical hemostat that is intended for or could be used for a Permitted Clinical Application. The foregoing limitations do not apply to sales by SMI of those products described on Schedule 2.1.

2.2 CryoLife Limitations. During the term of this Agreement and provided SMI timely fulfills CryoLife’s orders for Products, CryoLife will not manufacture or Distribute for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory any Competitive Product except for products currently manufactured or Distributed by CryoLife, new and successor products related to products currently manufactured or Distributed by Cryolife and new and successor products that incorporate CryoLife’s protein hydrogel technology with any powdered product. In addition, once CryoLife receives final approval from the United States Regulatory Authority (as defined in the License Agreement) to Commercially Distribute Products (as defined in the License Agreement), it shall commence an orderly process to withdraw its HemoStase from distribution in the United States by the earlier of December 31, 2014 or when CryoLife can complete an orderly withdrawal from the market. An orderly withdrawal process will permit CryoLife to complete the sale of its entire inventory of HemoStase and honor existing requirements under contracts CryoLife has with various third parties.

2.3

Current Distributors.

2.3.1 SMI represents and warrants that only the Persons described on Schedule 2.3 (collectively, the “Existing Distributors”) have any rights or agreements that entitle them to Distribute any Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory or represent SMI, or any other Person including Clot Plus Limited (collectively, “Other Parties”), in the Distribution of any Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory. SMI represents and warrants that it has delivered to CryoLife the most current and complete copies of each and every agreement any of the Existing Distributors has respecting the Products or the right to Distribute any Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory.

SMI agrees it shall bear all costs associated with fulfilling its obligations under this Section 2.3 and shall indemnify CryoLife for any Losses resulting therefrom, except for any defamation, libel or other claim regarding damage to CryoLife’s reputation.

2.3.3 SMI represents and warrants that other than the Existing Distributors, neither SMI nor any Other Parties currently has any other agents, representatives, or distributors entitled to Distribute Products (except for those products set forth in Schedule 2.1 or any hemostatic powder for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory, and that there is no restriction, covenant, or agreement to which it or any Other Party is a party or by which it or any Other Party is bound that would prevent or delay CryoLife from exercising and obtaining the full benefit of the exclusive Distribution rights granted in this Agreement. SMI agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, undertake, permit, or omit to take any action, or enter into, or permit any Other Party to enter into, any agreement that will prevent or delay the enjoyment by CryoLife of the full benefits of the exclusive relationship provided in this Agreement. SMI agrees to promptly direct and cause all Other Parties to direct all sales inquiries respecting the Product for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory to CryoLife during the Term of this Agreement. SMI represents and warrants that the termination of agreements with the Existing Distributors shall not cause CryoLife any Losses. SMI represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not constitute or cause a default or effect an acceleration of the terms under any of the agreements with Existing Distributors.

2.3.4 SMI represents and warrants that (i) its order fulfillment for Products to Existing Distributors during the last ninety (90) days has been consistent insofar as quantity and product mix with its order fulfillment during the preceding one hundred eighty (180) day period and (ii) it has fully advised CryoLife in writing of (A) all shipments of Products into or for resale into the Territory for Permitted Clinical Applications and (B) all outstanding purchase orders for Products into or for resale in the Territory for Permitted Clinical Applications that have not been fulfilled prior to the Effective Date are set forth on Schedule 2.3.

2.4 Marketing and Sales. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all business decisions concerning the sales and marketing of Product in the Territory, including the price, other sale and promotional terms thereof, will be within the sole discretion of CryoLife. Upon SMI’s reasonable request, but no more frequently than twice per calendar year, CryoLife will discuss with SMI CryoLife’s marketing plans for Product in the Territory.

2.5 Promotion Limitations. CryoLife will restrict its promotion and marketing of Products to activities reasonably calculated to sell the Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory and will not sell or distribute Products outside the Territory or sell or distribute Products knowingly to persons for the purpose of sale or distribution outside the Territory. CryoLife agrees that all sales inquiries or leads for sales of Products outside the Territory that it or its Affiliates receive shall be immediately directed to SMI for follow-up. SMI agrees that all sales inquiries or leads for sales of

Products inside the Territory that it or its Affiliates receive shall be immediately directed to CryoLife for follow-up.

3.	Payment and Product Purchases

3.1 Initial Payment. CryoLife will pay SMI of the sum of Eight Million U.S. dollars ($8,000,000.00) (the “Initial Payment”) within five (5) Business Days after both this Agreement and the License Agreement are executed by the Parties. Of the Initial Payment, Six Million and Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand U.S. dollars ($6,750,000.00) shall be paid in cash or by wire transfer to an account designated by SMI in writing with the remaining One Million and Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand U.S. dollars ($1,250,000.00) to be paid by the issuance to SMI of shares of common stock of CryoLife (the “Shares”) equal in number to One Million and Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand U.S. dollars ($1,250,000.00) divided by the average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of CryoLife’s common stock for the ten (10) trading days preceding and ending on the Business Day immediately preceding (“Trailing Average Price”) the date both Parties execute and deliver both this Agreement and the License Agreement. The Shares shall be issued in the name of SMI promptly following the Effective Date, but shall be held by CryoLife until March 31, 2012, subject to possible cancellation in accordance with Section 3.3. While the Shares are held by CryoLife, SMI shall have all ownership rights pertaining to the Shares, including without limitation, all voting rights and rights to receive dividends or other distributions thereon; provided, however, that the Shares may not be sold, encumbered, assigned or otherwise transferred by SMI prior to March 31, 2012, or pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3.

3.2 Prepaid Royalties Under the License Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that CryoLife may apply One Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. dollars ($1,500,000.00) from the Initial Payment as a prepaid royalty payment under the License Agreement (the “Prepaid Royalty Payment”), upon the terms and conditions set forth therein.

3.3 Limited Right to Cancel Shares. The Initial Payment will be non-refundable; provided, however, that: (i) in the event SMI fails to timely supply Product that meets all Product Specifications in the manner required by this Agreement, (ii) if CryoLife determines in good faith that it is prevented from distributing any Products (or is advised by counsel to refrain from distributing to reduce damages) in the manner contemplated by this Agreement by reason of any legitimate claim from a Third Party that distribution of the Product violates any Third Party intellectual property rights, (iii) if CryoLife’s exclusive rights to Distribute Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory is lost or diminished (and such loss or diminishment is not due to any negligent act or omission by CryoLife), or (iv) SMI breaches any covenant contained in Sections 2.1 or 2.3, SMI takes any action described in Section 11.2.4, or any Field Action is taken in a manner that CryoLife believes materially adversely impacts its ability to enjoy the full benefits of this Agreement (any of these, a “Refund Event”), CryoLife shall notify SMI in writing of such Refund Event (a “Refund Notice”). If SMI is unable to cure any Refund Event within sixty (60) days after receipt of the applicable Refund Notice, CryoLife shall have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy all or any portion of any Losses incurred by the CryoLife Indemnitees as a result of such Refund Event (the “Refund Losses”) by promptly cancelling a number of Shares with an aggregate value up to the aggregate amount of such Refund Losses. For purposes of this Section 3.3, the value of each Share shall be the average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of CryoLife’s common stock for the ten (10) trading days preceding and ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which SMI receives the Refund Notice. The Parties agree that CryoLife’s right to cancel any Shares pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available to CryoLife pursuant to this Agreement or in law or equity.

3.5 Registration Rights and Lockup Requirements. CryoLife and SMI acknowledge and agree that SMI shall have such registration rights with respect to the Shares, and the Shares shall be subject to such lockup requirements, as are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement attached as Exhibit “A” hereto and to which the Parties are parties. In addition, the Shares shall contain a restrictive legend set forth on Schedule 3.5.

3.6 Initial Orders. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, CryoLife has submitted to SMI a purchase order as more particularly set forth on Schedule 3.6. SMI agrees that to the extent that any Product noted on that order cannot be sold because of an expiration date, that SMI will assist CryoLife in shipping substitutes for such Product to CryoLife. Additionally, CryoLife agrees to purchase SMI’s current inventory of OrthoClot Product, up to 7,500 units, at a purchase price of [***] U.S. dollars ($[***]) for one gram product and [***] U.S. dollars ($[***]) for three gram product all as further set forth on Schedule 3.6.

3.7

Purchase Minimums

3.7.1 CryoLife agrees to the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements set forth on Schedule 3.7, as same may be adjusted pursuant to this Agreement.

3.7.2 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Minimum Purchase Amounts are based on SMI’s current sales potential of the Products in the Territory and therefore, SMI represents and warrants that it has delivered to CryoLife, prior to the execution of this Agreement, SMI’s current sales information for the 2009 calendar year and the first two calendar quarters of 2010 for Products in the Territory and that such information is true, correct and complete.

3.7.3 The Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements may be reduced by CryoLife in any given period to the extent of any prior purchase by CryoLife in excess of the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements for any and all preceding periods. The failure of CryoLife to meet any Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements because of any of the following reasons shall not cause CryoLife to be in default of this Agreement: Product returns in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, breach of this Agreement by SMI, failure to timely deliver Products by SMI, delay in obtaining Regulatory Approval based on the timelines set forth on Schedule 5.1 which assumes full cooperation of the CryoLife designated distributor when such distributor is the regulatory applicant, supply interruption by SMI, force majeure, or any Field Action that is not the result of CryoLife’s negligent acts or omissions.

3.8

Inventory and Supply Interruption.

3.8.1 SMI represents and warrants that SMI’s Products Inventory and components inventory, broken down by product number, was on August 15, 2010 and estimates will be as of September 15, 2010 as set forth on Schedule 3.8. SMI agrees to maintain Product Inventory equal to at least two times CryoLife’s trailing three month order volume. SMI shall at all times ensure that sufficient manufacturing capacity (including appropriate manufacturing, storage and distribution facilities and qualified personnel) is maintained to meet CryoLife’s forecasted demand plus 50%.

3.8.2 SMI will notify CryoLife immediately in writing upon becoming aware of any supply shortage, or other interruption or potential interruption in the supply of any material, component, or sub-assembly, in each case as it relates to Products, which notice shall include the quantity of such material or component ordered by SMI, name of the distributor and any additional information SMI may have concerning the reasons for the supply interruption and the steps being taken to cure such interruption. In addition, if reasonably requested in writing by CryoLife, SMI agrees to confirm within ten (10) days that it is not aware of any supply shortage, or other interruption or potential interruption in

the supply of any material, component, or sub-assembly. If at any time SMI does not have enough component material to fulfill, or other supply or manufacturing problems prevent SMI from fulfilling on a timely basis, its supply obligations to CryoLife for purchase of Products, SMI shall promptly notify CryoLife of the nature and extent of the impairment to SMI’s ability to supply and shall allocate 100% of its full resources to rectifying the impairment until such impairment is overcome.

3.8.3 In the event SMI is unable to fulfill CryoLife’s purchase orders for Products, the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements for the year and subsequent years shall be suspended until SMI is able to fulfill all of CryoLife’s purchase orders. Upon SMI’s fulfilment of all of CryoLife’s purchase orders pursuant to the previous sentence, (i) the Expiration Date (as set forth on Schedule 3.7) of the applicable Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement for such year (and the Expiration Date of each subsequent Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement) shall be expanded by the time of the delay in fulfilment to the date of such fulfilment, unless such date is later than the 20^th of the month, in which case it shall be the end of the month (the “Adjusted Expiration Dates”) and (ii) the Commencement Date (as set forth on Schedule 3.7) of the following Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement (and the Commencement Date of each subsequent Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement) shall be adjusted to be the beginning of the calendar month following the Adjusted Expiration Date. For example, if SMI fails to fulfill all of CryoLife’s purchase orders for a month and 21 days in 2012, (i) the Expiration Date of the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement for the period currently reflected on Schedule 3.7 as January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, shall be February 28, 2013, (ii) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement for the period currently reflected on Schedule 3.7 as January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013, shall be March 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014, respectively; and (iv) the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of each subsequent Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement shall be March 1^st of such year and the end of February of the following year, respectively (each subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.8.3 for any additional failures by SMI to fulfill all of CryoLife’s purchase orders in any calendar quarter).

3.9 Transfer Price. CryoLife shall pay SMI the Transfer Prices for any Products ordered, delivered to, and not rejected by CryoLife. For Products with a single product number for which separate transfer prices exist for (1) direct distribution and (2) indirect distribution, CryoLife will make reasonable efforts, but shall not be required, to include on its Forecasts and Purchase Orders product at the appropriate transfer price based on its estimation of final distribution of the Products.

3.9.1 The Parties acknowledge that CryoLife may, due to necessary inventory management practices, distribute Product directly for which it has paid the indirect price or distribute Product indirectly for which it has paid the direct price (a discussion of direct and indirect distribution is set forth on Schedule 3.9). In such event CryoLife will note such inconsistency on its next Purchase Order and will include in such Purchase Order (i) if Product purchased at the indirect Transfer Price is distributed directly, an amount of Product that will be purchased at the direct distribution Transfer Price that will be indirect distributed to address the previous inconsistency or (ii) if Product purchased at the direct Transfer Price is distributed indirectly, an amount of Product that will be purchased at the indirect distribution Transfer Price for direct distribution to address the previous inconsistency. SMI shall have the option each quarter to review CryoLife’s internal reports showing PerClot unit distribution and appropriate supporting documentation in order to confirm that CryoLife is following the provisions of this Section 3.9.1 for such quarter.

3.9.2 From and after January 1, 2014, the Transfer Prices may, at the written request of either Party, increase or decrease by an amount negotiated in good faith by the Parties if the currency rate between the Chinese RMB and the U.S. dollar has increased or decreased by more than 10% since the last Adjustment Date. As used herein, the first “Adjustment Date” shall be January 1, 2014 and all

subsequent Adjustment Dates shall be the last date upon which the Transfer Prices were actually changed by the Parties. After the first adjustment, adjustments to Transfer Prices shall be made no more frequently than once every twelve (12) months and, to be effective, shall be memorialized in writing. Among the factors the Parties agree to consider in any negotiations to adjust Transfer Prices will be the practical ability of CryoLife to increase the average selling price of the Products without adversely affecting the demand for such Products.

3.10 Purchase Orders. CryoLife shall issue to SMI purchase orders, which shall specify: (i) the Product, including item or product number; (ii) the Transfer Price; (iii) requested delivery schedule; and (iv) “ship to” and “invoice to” place of business. SMI must accept a purchase order if (i) the purchase order does not establish new or conflicting terms from those set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the Transfer Price and other provisions of the purchase order are in accordance with this Agreement. CryoLife shall place purchase orders so that they have been received by SMI no less than ten (10) days prior to the requested ship date. If SMI rejects a purchase order, SMI must notify CryoLife within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of such purchase order. If a purchase order is rejected, CryoLife will be advised of the reason for rejection and be provided with an opportunity to bring the purchase order into compliance. The terms contained in this Agreement shall govern the sale of Products to CryoLife and shall supersede any inconsistent terms in CryoLife’s purchase orders, unless SMI expressly agrees to such terms in writing. Orders placed by telephone, or in person are to be confirmed by facsimile or email to SMI by CryoLife within three (3) business days.

3.11 Forecasts. On a quarterly basis, thirty (30) days before the end of each quarter, CryoLife shall provide to SMI twelve (12) month rolling forecasts of the anticipated quarterly quantities and mix of the Products that CryoLife expects to order (each, a “Forecast”). Such Forecasts shall not be binding except to the following extent: the first three months of each Forecast shall constitute a firm commitment to order the total dollar volume of Products forecast for such period during such period with CryoLife having the ability to vary from the Products mix forecasted provided CryoLife orders at least 80% of the volume forecast for each Product number. On a quarterly basis, thirty (30) days before the end of each quarter, SMI will provide CryoLife with twelve month rolling forecasts of Product inventory and production and a report of inventory on hand. Failure of either Party to provide the forecasts or reports required by this Section 3.11 shall relieve the other Party of its obligations under this Section 3.11. SMI agrees to timely supply CryoLife with the quantities forecasted for the first three months of each Forecast against purchase orders from CryoLife. SMI also agrees, at a minimum, to fulfill all firm additional orders for the Product submitted by CryoLife that are not more than 50% above the amounts forecasted.

3.12 Shipments. CryoLife may provide SMI with a designated shipper. SMI will coordinate the collection of goods with the designated shipper from SMI’s warehouse. If CryoLife does not designate a shipper, SMI will designate a shipper of its own choosing. Title to Products and all risk of loss shall pass from SMI to CryoLife at the time and place of SMI’s delivery of Products to CryoLife, F.O.B. Shipping Point. CryoLife shall be responsible for costs of shipping. CryoLife shall be solely responsible for insuring Products against damage in shipping after delivery to CryoLife Ex-work or F.O.B. Shipping Point. SMI shall ship Products to CryoLife on the shipping date designated in CryoLife’s purchase order provided the purchase order is received at least thirty (30) days before the requested shipping date, subject to the limitations of the prevailing laws and regulations and to forces outside the control of SMI.

3.13 Returns. SMI shall accept returns of any Product that does not meet the Product Specifications, or is otherwise clearly rendered unsalable, provided CryoLife notifies SMI in writing of any alleged failure to meet Product Specifications not later than twenty (20) Business Days from the date of arrival of such Product at the point of delivery or twenty (20) Business Days after discovery of such

Product’s failure to meet any Product Specification, such as shelf life, that may not be readily determined upon Product receipt. Any defects of Products resulting from CryoLife’s mishandling of Products after collection of the Product from point of shipment to CryoLife is expressly excluded. At SMI’s request, CryoLife will return the allegedly defective Product to SMI or provide such other evidence of the deficiency of the Product to SMI. Credit for any such defective Product for which timely notice is provided as set forth above shall be issued if SMI’s examination confirms that the Product is defective and that such defect is not the result of any mishandling of the Product after collection of the Product from SMI’s warehouse. Credit shall include Transfer Price and shipping charges. CryoLife agrees to advise SMI of any information in its possession regarding mishandling, damage, deterioration, alteration, or modification of any Product or its packaging. CryoLife will follow SMI’s reasonable instructions to return Products or to otherwise dispose of them, and will not take any action in relation to Products until it receives such instructions from SMI.

3.14 Payment. SMI shall invoice CryoLife for Products delivered to CryoLife in accordance with this Agreement and relevant purchase orders. CryoLife shall pay for Products within thirty (30) days after the date of SMI’s invoice (provided that the invoice date is no earlier than the date that shipment is received and if it is earlier, within thirty (30) days after the date of the shipment). All payments by CryoLife under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars free of any exchange or collection charges and of any taxes imposed under the laws of any country. If CryoLife fails to pay to SMI any amount when due, SMI shall notify CryoLife of such failure in writing and if CryoLife fails to dispute, contest or pay any portion of such past due amount within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, CryoLife agrees to pay interest on the undisputed and unpaid overdue amounts at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Payments shall only be required after full shipments of Products ordered in a single purchase order unless a partial shipment has been approved in advance by CryoLife.

3.15 Samples. SMI shall provide, at no cost to CryoLife, reasonable quantities of sterile and non-sterile Products that CryoLife may use at its sole discretion for samples and demonstrations. These sample units shall be provided within ten (10) days after the Effective Date. Thereafter, and from time to time as the Parties may mutually agree is reasonable for the purpose of supporting CryoLife’s promotional and sales efforts, SMI shall provide additional sample units to CryoLife at no cost to CryoLife. Pursuant to the preceding sentence, CryoLife may reasonably request quantities of samples, which request shall not be unreasonably denied. CryoLife shall certify that all orders for additional sample units are for sample units that were actually used for demonstrations and not sold or otherwise provided as part of the sale of Products. The Parties agree that the Products samples mix and quantities set forth on Schedule 3.15 are reasonable.

4.2 Product Changes. SMI shall not make any changes to Products (including materials, packaging, and directions for use), Product Specifications, the raw materials, component suppliers, or manufacturing process for the Products (collectively, “Product Changes”) unless approved by CryoLife in writing in advance, which approval may not be unreasonably denied (with the Parties understanding that any such changes that would require new or changes to regulatory approval may be denied by CryoLife due to the cost or time involved in that change).

4.2.1 Without limiting the foregoing, all Product Changes (including changes required by law) shall be submitted to CryoLife in writing no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to SMI’s proposed date of implementation for such change. Unless CryoLife notifies SMI in writing that it disapproves of such change during the thirty (30) calendar day period following the notification of such change or if such a proposed change is otherwise required by law, regulation, or directive, SMI shall be authorized to implement such change and shall be responsible for properly communicating and implementing such change, including with respect to any of SMI’s vendors.

4.2.2 Without limiting the foregoing, the following changes shall be deemed governed by this Section 4.2: (i) use of any nonconforming material in the manufacture of any of the Products in variance with the Product Specifications; (ii) implementation of any deviation that could affect the handling, sterility, safety, or efficacy of any of the Products and be at variance with the Product Specifications; or (iii) implementation of any corrective action that could affect the safety or efficacy of the Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SMI shall not make any Product Changes that disqualify Products for sale under any regulatory or other approval governing the sale or distribution of Products within any portion of the Territory.

4.2.3 SMI shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with developing and implementing any Product Changes including, without limitation, any and all costs associated with obtaining regulatory approval to incorporate Product Changes into Products or to manufacture or Distribute Products that incorporate Product Changes throughout the Territory.

SMI represents and warrants that the Intellectual Property relating to such Products will not be assigned or licensed to any Third Party or used by any Other Party or SMI to manufacture or distribute such Products or Competitive Products.

5.	Approvals and Compliance

5.1 Regulatory Approvals. SMI represents and warrants to CryoLife that it has applied for and received Regulatory Approvals for the Products in the Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory jurisdictions as indicated on Schedule 5.1. SMI represents and warrants that each Regulatory Approval identified on Schedule 5.1 as obtained is in good standing. and has never been revoked or suspended for any reason. SMI has no reason to believe that such Regulatory Approvals will be revoked or suspended for any reason. SMI hereby grants to CryoLife the fully paid-up right to use any and all Regulatory Approvals related to the Products within the Territory that are owned by or licensed to SMI

and as of the date hereof and throughout the Term. The Parties acknowledge that to obtain Regulatory Approvals in certain countries in the Territory, CryoLife or its Affiliates may need to be listed as the manufacturer of the Product and that in such case SMI shall be an OEM manufacturer for CryoLife or its Affiliates and the Parties shall enter into appropriate agreements to show that CryoLife or its Affiliates is the manufacturer and SMI is the OEM Manufacturer (provided however that the costs for obtaining, maintaining and communicating with Regulatory Authority and the costs for submissions shall still be borne by SMI and the appropriate agreements shall reflect that fact).

5.1.1 SMI represents, warrants and covenants that it has applied for and will allocate sufficient resources and use reasonable efforts to obtain in a timely fashion additional Regulatory Approvals in additional jurisdictions within the Territory for Permitted Clinical Applications according to the schedule in the Regulatory Approval Development Plan set forth on Schedule 5.1. SMI agrees that its obligations under this subsection include the hiring of a qualified professional or professional firm to supplement or replace its internal efforts to secure and maintain Regulatory Approvals in a timely fashion.

5.1.2 All costs and expenses for obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approvals throughout the Territory shall be SMI’s, except for the costs and expenses of obtaining Regulatory Approval in Canada, the United States and Japan, which CryoLife has responsibility to apply for under this Agreement and the License Agreement. SMI shall have the primary responsibility for all communications, submissions and interactions with the Regulatory Authorities for the purpose of obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approvals except for Canada, the United States and Japan.

5.1.3 At least once each month, SMI shall report in reasonable detail to CryoLife on the status of SMI’s efforts to obtain Regulatory Approvals according to the Regulatory Approval Development Plan. SMI agrees to provide to CryoLife such documentation or analyses as CryoLife may reasonably request in connection with any submission for Regulatory Approval. At CryoLife’s reasonable request from time to time, SMI shall also permit CryoLife to contact Regulatory Authorities involved in any Regulatory Approval requests of SMI.

5.1.4 If at any time SMI falls behind schedule for obtaining Regulatory Approval for Products in any jurisdiction in accordance with the Regulatory Approval Development Plan or if the Parties agree, CryoLife may either require SMI to engage at SMI’s cost a Third Party professional firm qualified in obtaining Regulatory Approvals that is acceptable to CryoLife or CryoLife may take over responsibility for obtaining Regulatory Approval in a jurisdiction by so notifying SMI in writing. SMI agrees to cooperate fully with CryoLife’s efforts and to promptly reimburse CryoLife for all its costs and expenses associated with such effort plus overhead for such endeavour equal to 20% of such amount. In such event and as to the Regulatory Approval application process taken over, CryoLife shall thereafter have primary responsibility for all communications, submissions and interactions with the Regulatory Authorities for the purpose of obtaining and maintaining such Regulatory Approval and SMI shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperate fully with CryoLife with respect to such Regulatory Approvals. If SMI fails to promptly reimburse CryoLife as required herein in Section 5.1.4, CryoLife may notify SMI and offset any such unreimbursed costs and expenses against amounts otherwise due or coming due to SMI under this Agreement, the License Agreement or any other Agreement.

5.1.5 The Parties acknowledge that the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements are predicated upon SMI meeting or exceeding the goal of obtaining Regulatory Approvals for the Products in the jurisdictions indicated no later than when provided on Schedule 5.1. To the extent any such Regulatory Approvals are not obtained by the date indicated on Schedule 5.1, the Parties agree, at CryoLife’s request, to reduce the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements by the amount set forth on Schedule 5.1 and to amend Schedule 5.1 to reflect such adjustments.

5.1.6 CryoLife agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for Regulatory Approval, in CryoLife’s name, to distribute and sell Products in Permitted Clinical Application in Canada. SMI shall provide reasonable personnel assistance to SMI with respect to such Regulatory Approval. SMI’s assistance in this effort will include providing information about SMI and Products as needed for such application, such as clinical trial information relating to the Products. CryoLife’s obligations related to obtaining Canadian Regulatory Approval does not include or require CryoLife to conduct any clinical trials involving Products, nor is SMI required to conduct such clinical trials for Canada. If SMI’s reasonable failure to cooperate causes, in CryoLife’s reasonable estimation, Regulatory Approval in Canada to be delayed past January 1, 2012 the Parties agree to reduce the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements by [***] US Dollars ($[***]) starting with calendar year 2012, with a pro-rata adjustment made for any approval that occurs during a calendar year.

5.2 Manufacturing Requirements. SMI has and will manufacture Products in accordance with the (i) Product Specifications, (ii) applicable Regulatory Laws, including master device and lot history records, and ISO 13485 requirements (including appropriate certification), MDD Requirements, CMDCAS Requirements (when such CMDCAS Requirements are necessary for CryoLife to obtain Canadian registration), and (iii) other pertinent rules and regulations of Regulatory Authorities that have granted Regulatory Approval for the Products. Upon the request of CryoLife, SMI shall provide CryoLife with written evidence of compliance with the criteria set forth in the preceding sentence. Upon CryoLife’s request, SMI shall provide CryoLife with written evidence of compliance with the criteria set forth herein. During the Term, SMI will maintain, or cause to be maintained, the Products manufacturing facility’s registration as a certified medical device manufacturing facility with all applicable Regulatory Authorities and cause such facility to be maintained such that the facility would pass an audit for compliance with ISO 13485 (including appropriate certification), MDD Requirements, and CMDCAS Requirements (when such CMDCAS Requirements are necessary for CryoLife to obtain Canadian registration). SMI shall maintain ongoing quality assurance and testing policies sufficient to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, CryoLife’s standard requirements for approval as a vendor as described in CryoLife’s quality system review policy, and SMI’s standard quality assurance policies, copies of which are attached hereto.

5.3 Manufacturing Sources. SMI represents that, as of the Effective Date, it has a fully CE Marking certified and functioning manufacturing source for the Products capable of producing sufficient Product to meet CryoLife’s needs under this Agreement. SMI agrees to maintain such manufacturing source or procure other sources, facilities and/or equipment in order to replace such manufacturing source that are reasonably acceptable to CryoLife and CE Marking certified in the event that SMI’s then-active manufacturing facility becomes unable or unwilling to supply Products in a timely manner. SMI further agrees to establish a second CE Marking certified and fully functioning manufacturing facility for Products that is reasonably acceptable to CryoLife on or before December 31, 2012.

5.4 Regulatory and Products Communications. SMI shall be responsible to Regulatory Authorities throughout the Territory as the manufacturer of the Products.

Any notice respecting a recall or action that in any way restricts the ability of either Party to Distribute Products shall be delivered to the other Party promptly upon receipt.

5.4.4 The Parties shall cooperate in response to the action, including providing information and documentation as requested by the Regulatory Authority. If the action primarily concerns CryoLife’s activities or if the action involves the Regulatory Authority in Canada and Japan, then CryoLife shall have primary responsibility to respond to the Regulatory Authority; otherwise, SMI shall have primary responsibility to respond. In either case, upon request of the responding Party, the other Party shall provide consulting advice and assistance with the response. In addition, each Party shall promptly notify the other and provide to the other a copy or transcription, if available, of any communication from any Regulatory Authority relating to the products, the marketing thereof, or any related matter and shall keep the other Party reasonably apprised of regulatory interactions and similar activities with Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Products.

5.4.5 If either Party in good faith determines that a removal, correction, recall or other Field Action involving the product or its labelling is warranted (whether or not required by a Regulatory Authority), such Party shall immediately notify the other Party and shall advise such other Party of the reasons underlying its determination that a removal, correction, recall or other Field Action is warranted. The Parties shall consult with each other as to any action to be taken in regard to such removal, correction, recall or other Field Action. If, after consultations, either Party in good faith believes that such a removal, correction, recall or Field Action should be undertaken with respect to the Products or its labelling, the Parties shall cooperate in carrying out the same. SMI shall be responsible for all of CryoLife’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the cost of the Products and the replacement cost of the Products, quality control testing and notification in the event of removals, correction, recall or other Field Action involving the Product or its labelling, provided it copies CryoLife. In the event of a Field Action of any Products, SMI shall promptly correct noted deficiencies relating to its manufacturing, packaging, labelling, testing and SMI’s storage or handling of Products, if applicable,

or cause the vendor of any material, component, or sub-assembly incorporated into such Products to do likewise with respect to such material, component, or sub-assembly and CryoLife shall correct noted deficiencies related to matters for which it is responsible. If SMI fails to promptly reimburse CryoLife as required herein in Section 5.4.5, CryoLife may notify SMI and offset any such unreimbursed costs and expenses against amounts otherwise due or coming due to SMI under this Agreement, the License Agreement or any other Agreement.

5.4.6 In the event of any action by a Regulatory Authority or Field Action that impedes CryoLife’s ability to sell Products, the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements shall be adjusted equitably downward to reflect such impediment.

5.4.7 The provisions of this Section 5.4 do not apply to the Regulatory Authority in the United States.

6.	Indemnification and Liability

6.1 Indemnification by CryoLife. CryoLife assumes responsibility and shall indemnify SMI, its subsidiaries, parent corporations, affiliates, officers, directors, independent contractors, partners, shareholders, employees, agents, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “SMI Indemnitees”) and hold the SMI Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from any Third Party claims made or legal proceedings instituted against any of the SMI Indemnitees which arise out of or result from the marketing, shipping, storage, distribution, or any handling by CryoLife of the Products, including any Losses resulting from any claim by a Third Party that SMI has tortiously

interfered with any contract that CryoLife may have with such Third Party, unless such Losses also result from or arise out of the negligence of any SMI Indemnitee, any manufacturing, design or defects in the Products, or any claim respecting intellectual property rights. SMI shall promptly notify CryoLife in writing of any such claim or proceeding and shall permit CryoLife to control the defense of such claim or proceeding; provided, however, that SMI may in its discretion participate at its own expense in such defense; and provided further, that CryoLife shall not settle any such claim or proceeding that may adversely impact any SMI Indemnitee without SMI’s prior written consent.

6.2 Indemnification by SMI. SMI assumes responsibility and shall indemnify CryoLife its subsidiaries, parent corporations, affiliates, officers, directors, independent contractors, partners, shareholders, employees, agents, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “CryoLife Indemnitees”) and hold the CryoLife Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from any Third Party claims made or legal proceedings instituted against any of the CryoLife Indemnitees which arise out of or result from (i) any product defect, or any product description or claim made by or on behalf of SMI and upon which CryoLife or any Third Party has relied, including, but not limited to claims for personal injury, including death, or property damage; (ii) the manufacture, processing, design, testing, packaging, labelling, storage, handling, or distribution by or for SMI (other than by CryoLife) of any of the Products, including but not limited to claims for personal injury, including death, or property damage; or (iii) any allegation or claim of infringement by the Products, their manufacture, processing, distribution or sale, of the patent or other intellectual property rights of a Third Party, except to the extent such Losses also result from or arise out of the negligence of a CryoLife Indemnitee. CryoLife shall promptly notify SMI in writing of any such claim or proceeding and shall permit SMI to control the defense of such claim or proceeding; provided, however, that CryoLife may in its discretion participate at its own expense in such defense; and provided further, that SMI shall not settle any such claim or proceeding that may adversely impact a CryoLife Indemnitee without CryoLife’s prior written consent. If any Product is held to constitute an infringement or misappropriation of any Third Party’s intellectual property right or if CryoLife and SMI concur that any Product constitutes an infringement or misappropriation, SMI will at its expense either: (i) procure the right for CryoLife to continue distributing the Product in accordance with this Agreement at no additional cost to CryoLife, (ii) replace the Product with a non-infringing and non-misappropriating equivalent product conforming to the Product Specifications at no additional cost to CryoLife, or (iii) modify the Product to make it non-infringing and non-misappropriating while conforming to the Product Specifications at no additional cost to CryoLife.

6.3 Other Claims. Each of SMI and CryoLife (each, in such capacity, an “Indemnifying Party”) will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other Party, its subsidiaries, parent corporations, affiliates, officers, directors, independent contractors, partners, shareholders, employees, agents, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, in such capacity, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses, including Losses imposed upon or caused to be incurred by the Indemnitee(s) by any Third Party, arising from or related to any (i) breach of such Indemnifying Party’s representations and warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) an assertion that this Agreement or Indemnified Party’s actions pursuant to this Agreement tortuously interfere with any contracts to which the Indemnifying Party is a Party.

6.4 Contribution. To the extent that CryoLife and SMI have indemnification obligations to one another in connection with a single Claim, CryoLife and SMI shall contribute to the aggregate damages arising from such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect their relative responsibilities for such damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by CryoLife or SMI for purposes of apportioning the aggregate damages shall be deemed to include all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with investigating, preparing for or defending against such Claim. Such finding of contribution shall be as agreed to in writing by the Parties, or as determined by a judicial determination, in final, non-appealable form.

6.5 Procedure. A Party seeking indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of a claim or suit; provided, that a Party’s failure to give such notice or delay in giving such notice shall not affect such Party’s right to indemnification under this Section 6 except to the extent that the other Party has been prejudiced by such failure or delay. Neither Party has any obligation to indemnify the other Party in connection with any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitee has the right to participate (i) at its own expense in the claim or suit with counsel of its own choosing and (ii) in selecting counsel to be used by the Indemnifying Party in such claim or suit. The Indemnifying Party will consult with the Indemnitee in good faith with respect to all non-privileged aspects of the defense strategy. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as reasonably requested, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim or suit without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent unless such settlement is limited to the payment of cash by the Indemnifying Party and contains a full release of the Indemnitee.

6.6 Insurance. At all times during which any of the Products are being clinically tested with human subjects or commercially distributed or sold by CryoLife hereunder, as well as for a period of seven years thereafter, each Party shall procure and maintain insurance from a reputable insurer reasonably satisfactory to the other Party, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which is consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated. In any event, the amount of insurance obtained and maintained pursuant to this Section 6.6 by each Party shall not be less than [***] U.S. dollars ($[***]). It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of each Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Section 6. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance (or financial information that describes the amounts available under any self-insurance facility) upon request. SMI shall provide CryoLife with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal, or material change in such insurance.

6.7 No Warranties. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTEND NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT.

7.	Confidentiality

7.1 Confidentiality. Each of SMI and CryoLife acknowledge that in order to satisfy their respective obligations under this Agreement, it will be necessary for the Parties to exchange certain trade secret and confidential information (collectively, the “Confidential Information”).

Each Party shall advise its employees, agents and representatives of the requirements of this Section 7 and shall be responsible to ensure their compliance with such provisions. In consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from the exchange of Confidential Information, SMI and CryoLife agree as follows:

7.1.1 For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” with respect to a disclosing Party includes all information, in any form or media, concerning the disclosing Party that the disclosing Party furnishes to the recipient, whether furnished before or after the Effective Date, and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies and other materials, whether prepared by the recipient or others, that contain or reflect such information; provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include information that (i) is or hereafter becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the recipient, (ii) was already known to the recipient prior to receipt from the disclosing Party, as evidenced by prior written documents in its possession not subject to an existing confidentiality obligation to the disclosing Party, (iii) is disclosed to the recipient on a non-confidential basis by a person who is not in default of any confidentiality obligation to the disclosing Party or (iv) is developed by or on behalf of the recipient without reliance on confidential information received hereunder. The contents of this Agreement shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of each Party.

7.1.2 The recipient of Confidential Information shall (i) maintain its confidentiality using efforts and precautions at least as great as those it uses and takes to protect its own confidential information and trade secrets; (ii) use such Confidential Information solely in connection with the discharge of its obligations under this Agreement and (iii) not disclose such Confidential Information to any person other than those of its agents and representatives who need to know such Confidential Information in order to accomplish the objectives for which it was disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the recipient of Confidential Information may disclose it to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws, stock exchange rules, or with an order issued by a court or Regulatory Authority with competent jurisdiction; provided that, in connection with such disclosure, the recipient uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment or an appropriate protective order, to the extent available, with respect to such Confidential Information. The receiving Party may provide access to the Confidential Information to such employees and consultants of the receiving Party who reasonably require such access in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.1.3 The obligations under this Section 7 shall remain in effect from the Effective Date through the third anniversary of the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

10.	Intellectual Property Rights

10.1 Intellectual Property Representations. SMI hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, CryoLife as follows:

10.1.1 SMI, and only SMI, owns or holds valid and enforceable rights to exclusively manufacture, Distribute, use or license (to the extent a license is required) any and all Intellectual Property (such Intellectual Property rights collectively, the “SMI IP”) that is necessary (i) to manufacture and Distribute the Products or to permit others to manufacture or Distribute the Products, (ii) for CryoLife to Distribute the Products as contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) for SMI to grant to CryoLife the rights to Distribute under this Agreement. No license of Intellectual Property rights from Third Parties is needed for CryoLife to Distribute the Products for Permitted Clinical Applications within the Territory.

10.1.2 SMI owns or licenses all right, title and interest in and to the SMI IP.

10.1.3 SMI has not granted any license, covenant not to sue or other right that would be inconsistent with or conflict with the grant of the exclusive rights to Distribute granted to CryoLife under this Agreement.

10.1.4 No Person has asserted any claim, suit, proceeding, action or demand (a “Claim”) with respect to any of the SMI IP, which Claim (i) challenges the validity of SMI’s interest in the SMI IP, (ii) alleges that SMI’s use or practice of the SMI IP infringes, misappropriates or violates the rights of any Person or (iii) seeks to enjoin or restrain SMI’s use or practice of the SMI IP in any manner

that would interfere with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as disclosed on Schedule 10.1, SMI has no knowledge that any Person intends to assert such a Claim.

10.1.5 No Intellectual Property or contract rights of others will be infringed by (i) the development, manufacture, or Distribution of Products by SMI or Distribution of Products by CryoLife as contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the entering into of this Agreement, or (iii) the performance of this Agreement by either Party.

10.1.6 Prior to and during the Term, SMI has not granted any Person any license or right of first refusal that conflicts with the rights granted to CryoLife hereunder or the right to purchase all or substantially all of SMI or its business or the assets constituting the Products.

10.1.7 SMI owns or licenses all right, title and interest in and to the SMI IP. A complete list of all patents and patent applications included in the SMI IP, with the status of registrations in all countries in the Territory, is included on Schedule 10.1.

10.2 Intellectual Property/Information and Ideas. CryoLife acknowledges SMI’s exclusive right, title and interest in and to the SMI IP. If any claim or action is asserted against SMI or CryoLife alleging that a Product infringes any Third Party intellectual property rights, the Party receiving such information shall immediately notify the other Party in writing of such claim or action.

10.2.1 In such event, SMI shall defend such action and, if necessary to permit CryoLife to continue selling the Products, use commercially reasonable efforts to secure such right, title, interest, or license to the intellectual property necessary for CryoLife to market, distribute and sell the Products.

10.2.2 If SMI is unable to secure sufficient rights to permit CryoLife to market, distribute, and sell the Products in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, SMI may remove the Products from the market if it reasonably determines such action is necessary due to infringement or possible infringement of Third Party intellectual property rights, and in such case CryoLife shall use commercially reasonable efforts to halt sales of Product in the Territory.

10.2.3 In the event of any action contemplated by this Section 10.2 adversely impacts CryoLife’s ability to sell Products, the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirements shall be adjusted equitably downward to reflect such impediment.

10.2.4 If SMI or CryoLife recall or remove any Products from the market, SMI shall, at CryoLife’s option, promptly repurchase CryoLife’s entire Products inventory at the price paid by CryoLife (including shipping) and CryoLife shall be released of its obligation to distribute Products. The Parties agree that CryoLife’s rights under this Section 10.2.4 shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available to CryoLife pursuant to this Agreement or in law or equity.

10.3 Infringement Notification. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any and all infringements of the SMI IP of which such Party becomes aware within the Territory. SMI shall, at its own cost, take any and all actions, legal or equitable, necessary to defend the SMI IP against such infringements and to eliminate or minimize the consequences of any infringement of the SMI IP in the Field in the Territory. At SMI’s request and expense, CryoLife will assist SMI in taking action against any such infringements. If SMI fails to take appropriate action against such infringements within sixty (60) days after notice, CryoLife may take such actions as it deems necessary and appropriate, including but not limited to filing a lawsuit against a Third Party (and/or their patents) in SMI’s name or its own name and/or requesting that patent offices (or their equivalents) reconsider Third Party patents and SMI

shall reasonably assist CryoLife as directed by CryoLife. In addition to any responsibility of SMI pursuant to Section 10.2, if any Product is held to constitute an infringement or misappropriation of any Third Party’s Intellectual Property right, if SMI and CryoLife concur that any Products constitutes an infringement or misappropriation, or if CryoLife is advised by its legal counsel that any Products potentially infringe or misappropriate any Third Party’s Intellectual Property right, SMI will at its expense either: (i) procure the right for CryoLife to continue distributing the Products in accordance with this Agreement at no additional cost to CryoLife, (ii) replace the Product with a non-infringing and non-misappropriating equivalent product conforming to the Specifications at no additional cost to CryoLife, or (iii) modify the Product to make it non-infringing and non-misappropriating while conforming to the Specifications at no additional cost to CryoLife. If SMI declines to take the foregoing action after notice from CryoLife within sixty (60) days or if SMI is unable to secure sufficient rights to permit CryoLife to Distribute the Products in the manner contemplated by this Agreement within a reasonable time, SMI shall, at CryoLife’s option, promptly repurchase CryoLife’s entire Product inventory as provided in Section 10.2.4 at CryoLife’s original purchase price (including shipping) set forth herein, and CryoLife shall be released of its obligation to Distribute the Products. CryoLife shall also be authorized in the foregoing event to procure the right for CryoLife to continue distributing Products in accordance with this Agreement and to offset the cost of obtaining such rights from amounts otherwise due or coming due to SMI under this Agreement, the License Agreement or any other agreement.

10.4 Patent Prosecution. At its own cost, SMI shall apply for, prosecute, and maintain all patent applications and patents or rights to license or use the patents and patent applications included in the SMI IP within the Territory in the manner and according to the schedule set forth in the Patents Protection Plan included as Schedule 10.4. SMI shall keep CryoLife reasonably informed as to the status of the prosecution and maintenance of such patents and patent applications in the Territory and with respect to any actions regarding such patents and patent applications in the Territory.

11.	Term and Termination

11.2.5 By CryoLife upon sixty (60) days written notice of termination to SMI at any time after CryoLife obtains regulatory approval in the United States that permits commercial distribution of the Product and CryoLife no longer needs to order Product under this Agreement for sale in the Territory.

11.2.6 By CryoLife upon sixty (60) days written notice of termination to SMI at any time SMI fails on any two occasions within any twelve (12) month period to timely deliver Product, or material quantities of Product, ordered by CryoLife in a delivery that conforms to Product Specifications and CryoLife’s invoice (a “Failure to Supply”).

11.2.7 By SMI upon ninety (90) days written notice if CryoLife fails to achieve the Annual Minimum Quota in any year where there are no events under the provisions herein that grant a reduction in the Annual Minimum Quota; provided that CryoLife may purchase additional Product in order to meet the Annual Minimum Quota if it does so within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such notice by SMI and in such event SMI may not terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.2.7.

11.3 Effect of Termination.

Within thirty (30) days after any such termination of this Agreement, CryoLife shall provide SMI an inventory of Products in its possession, including samples of Products, and information relating to the Transfer Prices CryoLife paid for such Products. If SMI disputes any information provided by CryoLife, it shall deliver a written notice thereof to CryoLife within fifteen (15) days after receiving such information, in which case, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. CryoLife shall deliver to SMI all remaining Products, including samples, promptly after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period if no dispute is raised by SMI, or after the resolution of such dispute.

12.	Other Product Agreements

Provided, however that, notwithstanding any other provision herein, either Party, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may apply to any court with jurisdiction over the Parties for a temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, without submission of such claim for equitable relief to arbitration.

14.4.1 In the event a dispute is not resolved informally, the Parties agree that such dispute will be resolved exclusively through arbitration to be conducted in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A., or any other place selected by mutual agreement of the Parties.

The substantive law of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, shall apply to the interpretation, application and legality of this Agreement.

14.4.5 The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned opinion and award, in writing, within thirty (30) days of closing arguments or the receipt of post-hearing briefs, whichever is later. The opinion and award must be signed and dated and decide all disputes submitted by the Parties. The opinion and award shall set forth the legal principles supporting each part of the opinion. The decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be binding on the Parties. Judgment on the award rendered pursuant to such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and such judgment may be entered and enforced in any state and any country. The losing party shall pay the fees associated with the costs of the arbitrators and any costs associated with the arbitration proceedings. Each Party shall bear its own legal expenses and costs. The Parties agree that any judgment shall be considered “Confidential Information” under this Agreement and subject to the provisions of this Agreement related to Confidential Information.

14.6 Independent Contractor. CryoLife shall operate as an independent contractor and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to recreate an employer/employee, principal/agent, joint venture, partnership, or fiduciary relationship between the Parties.

14.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severed from this Agreement without affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions.

14.8 Heading and Captions. Headings and captions used herein are for convenience only and are not to be deemed part of this Agreement.

14.9 Inapplicability of UCC. The Parties agree that neither the Uniform Commercial Code of Georgia nor any other State of the United States shall apply to this Agreement or the activities contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement, including those relating to purchase of Products and termination, govern their activities exclusively under this Agreement where provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code might otherwise provide.

14.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.11 Assignment. Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

14.12 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.13 Further Assurances; Force Majeure. Each Party covenants and agrees that, subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and without any additional consideration, it will execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any acts that are or may become reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. Neither SMI nor CryoLife will have any liability for any failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement (except the obligation to make payments promptly when and as due) if the failure or delay results from force majeure, understood as a cause which is beyond the control of either Party and one which could not have been avoided even with the exercise of due care. The Party claiming force majeure will give the other Party written notice of the cause within fifteen (15) days after occurrence thereof, and will exercise reasonable diligence to remove the cause and resume performance.

14.14 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other Party if a Party fails to comply with the confidentiality obligations imposed by Section 7, and that, in the event of any such failure, the other Party will not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Accordingly, each Party agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is an appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law. Each Party agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any other Party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.
