SVI further grants CPI the right to adapt the Surgi-Vision IP to a commercial form suitable for incorporation into CPI’s and its Affiliates’ product(s) in the Implantable Cardiac Field. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole and

exclusive nature of the License herein granted being acknowledged, SVI, including any transferee, assignee or successor thereof or its Third Party Licensors, shall have no right to deal in any way with (or exercise any right herein granted to CPI with respect to) the Surgi-Vision IP or any Licensed Product (including to manufacture, promote, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale and/or commercialize Licensed Products) within the Implantable Cardiac Field, and any such purported right shall be null and void; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to: (a) any lien or security interest in the Surgi-Vision IP; (b) any rights retained by JHU under the JHU Agreements; (c) to the extent a Patent was supported by federal funding obtained by JHU, any rights, conditions and limitations imposed by U.S. law (including any royalty-free non-exclusive license granted to the U.S. government pursuant to U.S. law and any requirement that products used or sold in the U.S. be manufactured substantially in the U.S.); and (d) any right to author, to publish and to retain or transfer copyright to scientific reports retained by SVI or SVI’s collaborators or granted by SVI to Third Parties. The Parties hereby further agree and confirm that the terms and conditions of the License granted herein, including the aforesaid exclusivity, shall survive any Change in Control of SVI or the assignment, transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, by operation of law or otherwise.

Publication Rights. Subject to Section 9 (“Confidentiality”) herein below, the License granted in Section 2(A) includes the right to disclose or make public any and all information, including results, based on the work or activities carried out by CPI in connection with the development of Licensed Products or their use within the Implantable Cardiac Field.

Recordation. SVI and CPI shall cooperate to prepare a Short Form Registration Statement and/or confirmatory assignment(s) and license(s) in any countries as to which either Party so desires. Each Party may, at its own expense, record such Short Form Registration Statements and/or confirmatory assignment(s) and license(s).

Reserved Rights. All rights and interests not expressly granted to CPI are reserved by SVI for itself, its Affiliates and other licensees and sublicensees (including Bionics), including, but not limited to, the rights to use and grant licenses under the Surgi-Vision IP to make, have made, import, use, promote, market, distribute, lease, sell, offer for sale or commercialize products (other than in the Implantable Cardiac Field for so long as CPI has an exclusive license in the Implantable Cardiac Field under this Agreement). For the avoidance of any doubt, without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, SVI reserves all rights to use and grant licenses under the Surgi-Vision IP to make, have made, import, use, promote, market, distribute, lease, sell, offer for sale or commercialize products in the non-chronically implanted, catheter-based cardiac

In consideration of the exclusive license in the Implantable Cardiac Field to the Surgi-Vision IP granted herein, CPI agrees to pay to SVI royalties on Net Sales of Royalty Products as follows: either (i) [***] of the aggregate worldwide Net Sales of all Reduced Royalty Products; or (ii) [***] of the aggregate worldwide Net Sales of Royalty Products which are not Reduced Royalty Products. After the aggregate royalty payments to SVI under this Agreement (which excludes the License Fee, as defined hereunder) reach[***], the royalty on Net Sales of all Royalty Products which are not Reduced Royalty Products will be reduced from [***] to [***].

CPI will make royalty payments to SVI on a quarterly basis for the preceding quarter sixty (60) days following the issuance of the consolidated financial statements of CPI and its Affiliates for such quarter, as publicly reported; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall CPI make such royalty payments to SVI later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of the quarter, and (ii) in the event such financial statements are no longer publicly reported, CPI will make such royalty payments to SVI within ninety (90) days following the end of the quarter.

For each of the first three (3) years following the first Commercial Sale of a Royalty Product (commencing with the first fiscal quarter following (but not including) the first Commercial Sale of a Royalty Product), CPI will pay SVI aggregate royalties (pursuant to Section 3(A) and Section 3(F), collectively) of no less than [***], regardless of Net Sales of Royalty Products in such year.

For purposes of clarity, any Licensed Product that does not constitute a Royalty Product at the time of its Commercial Sale shall not be subject to any retroactive royalty or other payment (except as provided in the Development Agreement) in the event such Licensed Product subsequently becomes a Royalty Product.

In further consideration of the exclusive license in the Implantable Cardiac Field to the Billabong Patents granted hereunder, CPI shall pay SVI a one-time, non-refundable license fee of thirteen million ($13,000,000.00) dollars (the “License Fee”), paid in the following installments: (i) five million ($5,000,000.00) dollars paid upon execution of the Definitive Agreements; (ii) three million ($3,000,000.00) dollars paid no later than three (3) months after execution of the Definitive Agreements; (iii) three million ($3,000,000.00) dollars paid no later than six (6) months after

CPI will pay SVI [***] of all Sub-License Revenue, which percentage will be paid on a quarterly basis for the preceding quarter sixty (60) days following the issuance of the consolidated financial statements of CPI and its Affiliates for such quarter, as publicly reported; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall CPI make such Sub-License Revenue payments to SVI later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of the quarter, and (ii) in the event such financial statements are no longer publicly reported, CPI will make such Sub-License Revenue payments to SVI within ninety (90) days following the end of the quarter. Examples of what types of transactions do and do not implicate Sub-License Revenue payments are listed in Exhibit E hereto. In keeping with the spirit of this Agreement, CPI agrees that it shall not (and it shall cause its Affiliates not to) structure any license or sub-license to Third Parties for the sole purpose of avoiding, circumvent, evading or minimizing its payment obligations to SVI hereunder.

Only one royalty will be paid hereunder for each Royalty Product whether such Royalty Product (i) constitutes more than one type of lead, or (ii) is covered by more than one claim of a Royalty Patent, by the claims of more than one of the Royalty Patents, or by the claims of Royalty Patents of more than one country. CPI has no obligation to pay royalties (and, although SVI will not be obligated to refund any royalties already paid, CPI will have the right to offset in future royalty payments the amounts of royalties already paid) on sales of Royalty Products that are later returned, rejected or recalled.

Simultaneously with its quarterly payment of royalties and Sub-License Revenue percentage, CPI will provide SVI with a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of each type of Royalty Product sold during such quarter, the Net Sales for each such type of Royalty Product sold during such quarter, the Sub-License Revenue actually received by CPI and its Affiliates during such quarter, and the amount of the royalties due for such quarter.

In the event that a product simultaneously falls within the definition of “Royalty Product” under this Agreement and the definition of “Licensed Product” under the Bionics License Agreement: (a) SVI agrees that any sale of such product will only implicate the payment of fees under one of the two agreements, not both (e.g., SVI will not receive royalty payments both under this Agreement and the Bionics License Agreement with respect to the same sale); (b) the Parties will determine which agreement will govern the fees to be paid to SVI primarily by reference to the product’s actual intended use, and whether such use falls within the scope

of the neuromodulation field of the Bionics Lead Development Agreement or the Implantable Cardiac Field; and (c) if the Parties are unable to determine the governing agreement pursuant to clause (b) above, the Parties shall settle such disagreement pursuant to substantially the same mediation and arbitration provisions set forth in Section 4(E) and (F) below with respect to a Royalty Product Dispute (it being understood and agreed that scope of the arbitration will be limited to determining which agreement will govern the fees to be paid to SVI and that in no event will the Arbitrators have the power or authority to terminate this Agreement or the Bionics License Agreement).

Prior to the first Commercial Sale of any product which CPI reasonably believes constitutes a Licensed Product, CPI shall deliver to SVI a Royalty Product Notice regarding such Licensed Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by CPI to deliver a Royalty Product Notice will not constitute a breach of this Agreement (it being understood, however, that any failure by CPI to deliver a timely Royalty Product Notice could result in SVI having additional time to assert that the Licensed Product is a Royalty Product in accordance with the procedures of this Section 4).

Within one hundred twenty (120) days of SVI’s Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer obtaining actual knowledge of the first Commercial Sale of any product which SVI reasonably believes constitutes a Licensed Product and which was not previously the subject of a Royalty Product Notice, SVI shall deliver to CPI written notice requesting that CPI deliver a Royalty Product Notice for such product. Within sixty (60) days following CPI’s receipt of such a request, CPI shall deliver to SVI a Royalty Product Notice regarding such Licensed Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by SVI to deliver a request for Royalty Product Notice will not constitute a breach of this Agreement (it being understood, however, that any failure by SVI to deliver a timely request for Royalty Product Notice could result in SVI losing the opportunity to receive certain royalties or Sub-License Revenue payments otherwise payable hereunder).

To the extent there is any dispute between the Parties as to whether a Licensed Product constitutes (or will constitute) a Royalty Product (any such dispute being referred to herein as a “Royalty Product Dispute”), such Royalty Product Dispute shall be exclusively resolved pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4. SVI may deliver to CPI written notice of its intent to begin a Royalty Product Dispute within, and only within, the following timeframes. For the purposes of clarity, if SVI fails to deliver to CPI written notice of a Royalty Product Dispute within the applicable timeframes in subsections (i) or (ii) below, SVI waives its rights to challenge CPI’s determination or to otherwise claim that the subject Licensed Product constitutes (or will constitute) a Royalty Product.

In the event the Parties are unable to resolve a Royalty Product Dispute informally within forty-five (45) days after delivery of SVI’s written notice of such Royalty Product Dispute, the Parties shall hire an experienced patent attorney who is knowledgeable in the field of intellectual property law relating to medical devices and who (and whose firm) shall have no current or prior (within the preceding five year period) business relationships with the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates to offer an opinion, within a reasonable amount of time as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, as to whether the lead, product or device subject to the Royalty Product Dispute constitutes a Royalty Product (the “Opinion”). If either Party challenges the Opinion, resolution of the Royalty Product Dispute will proceed as follows under this Section 4. The cost of such patent attorney shall be shared equally between the Parties.

No Party hereto may invoke, demand, file or otherwise commence an arbitration pursuant to Section 4(F) until the Parties have completed a good faith mediation of the applicable Royalty Product Dispute in accordance with the following provisions:

In the event that no agreement is reached by CPI and SVI as to a Royalty Product Dispute following a good faith mediation in accordance with Section 4(E) above, either CPI or SVI, acting alone, may deliver to the other Party written notice demanding arbitration within twenty (20) days following the completion of such mediation undertaken, in which case the following provisions shall apply:

Commercialization. Subject to Section 6(B) below, on and after the date hereof, CPI shall have full control, authority and discretion over any and all commercialization of Licensed Products, including: (i) all activities relating to the manufacture and supply of the Licensed Products; (ii) all marketing, promotion, sales, distribution, import and export activities relating to the Licensed Products; and (iii) all activities relating to any regulatory filings, registrations, applications and approvals relating to any of the foregoing; provided, that, as between the Parties, all such activities shall be at the sole cost and expense of CPI. Except as set forth in the Development Agreement, as between the Parties, CPI shall own all data, results and all other information arising from any such activities under this Agreement, including all regulatory filings, registrations, applications and approvals relating to Licensed Products, and all of the foregoing information, documentation and materials shall be considered Confidential Information owned solely by CPI.

No Obligation to Commercialize. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that notwithstanding any and all rights herein granted to CPI pursuant to the License, CPI shall have no obligation whatsoever to exercise any such rights, and for greater certainty but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CPI shall have no obligation to develop, commercialize, sell or otherwise deal with any of the Surgi-Vision IP or any Licensed Products, or to generate or maximize payments to SVI for royalties or Sub-License Revenue, the whole without in any way affecting, limiting or jeopardizing any of the rights herein granted to CPI.

Term. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Section 7, the term of this Agreement will begin as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until, and shall expire upon, the expiry of the last to expire of the Royalty Patents (the “Term”).

Termination by Either Party.

Effect of Termination.

Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations pursuant to Sections 1, 3 (including, without limitation, any unpaid installments of the License Fee) (it is understood, however, that Section 3 will survive without prejudice to any right that CPI may have to damages or offset), 5, 7(C), 7(D), 9, 10, 13, 14, 16 and 17 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The License to CPI will automatically become non-exclusive for Surgi-Vision IP (other than the Billabong Patents) in the Implantable Cardiac Field existing as of the termination date of the Development Agreement, and CPI will not be obligated to make any Sub-License Revenue or royalty payments (including annual minimum royalty payments) based on sales of Licensed Products occurring thereafter.

The Billabong Patents will automatically be removed from the scope of the License and, subject to Section 8(C) below, CPI’s rights with respect to the Billabong Patents under this Agreement will terminate. In addition, any and all Surgi-Vision IP invented, acquired or licensed to SVI after the termination date of the Development Agreement will automatically be removed from the scope of the License and CPI’s rights with respect to such Surgi-Vision IP under this Agreement will terminate.

Any sublicenses granted by CPI with respect to the Billabong Patents pursuant to this Agreement will automatically terminate, provided, however, that with respect to any Licensed Product the Commercial Sale of which occurred prior to CPI’s exercise of the Termination Option, any license which may have attached to such Licensed Product that is already sold (whether explicit or implied) shall survive such termination.

CPI’s rights and obligations regarding enforcement of the BSC Controlled Surgi-Vision IP pursuant to Section 11(B) shall terminate (in which event Bionics will have the rights and obligations set forth in the Bionics Lead Development Agreement).

CPI’s rights and obligations regarding patent Prosecution of the BSC Controlled Surgi-Vision IP pursuant to Section 12 shall terminate (in which event Bionics will have the rights and obligations set forth in the Bionics Lead Development Agreement).

CPI will be obligated to make any remaining installments of the License Fee, as scheduled, and such remaining installments (if any) will constitute

a license fee for the non-exclusive license in the Implantable Cardiac Field described in Section 8(A) above.

CPI’s exercise of the Termination Option will have no effect on Bionics’ rights and obligations under the Bionics Lead Development Agreement.

Ownership of Confidential Information. The Parties agree that (i) all BSC Core Product Information generated or developed by CPI, its Affiliates, or a Third Party on behalf of CPI or its Affiliates will be deemed to be Confidential Information owned by CPI, and (ii) the terms and existence of the Definitive Agreements are Confidential Information owned by both Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 9, neither Party is subject to the obligations of a “non-owning Party” with respect to Confidential Information that is owned by both Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, for all other Confidential Information, the “owning Party” is deemed to be the disclosing Party. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the owning Party, and the non-owning Party shall not be deemed by virtue of this Agreement or any access to the owning Party’s Confidential Information to have acquired any right, title or interest in or to any Confidential Information, except the limited right to use such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of the Definitive Agreements or other agreements between the Parties or their Affiliates.

Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. Prior to the commencement of the Term, certain Confidential Information was exchanged between the Parties under the terms of the Earlier Confidentiality Agreement. Likewise, from time to time during the Term, either Party may make available to the other Party or otherwise generate or develop Confidential Information. The non-owning Party will maintain the owning Party’s Confidential Information in confidence and will not use such Confidential Information except as reasonably necessary to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement or other agreements between the Parties or their Affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Bionics Lead Development Agreement, SVI agrees and acknowledges that CPI and its Affiliates may share all of SVI’s Confidential Information with and among each of their respective Affiliates for use solely within the Field, provided that (i) prior to any such sharing of SVI’s Confidential Information such Affiliates are bound by obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use substantially similar in scope to those in this Agreement and (ii) CPI shall be responsible for any breach of confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use by any such Affiliate. Neither Party will disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as permissible in Section 9(D) below or in other agreements

between the Parties or their Affiliates. All Confidential Information will be treated by the non-owning Party with the same care as it would exercise in the handling of its own Confidential Information, but not less than reasonable care. The limitations and undertakings specified in this Section 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.

Standard Exceptions. The obligations of Sections 9(B), (E) and (F) do not apply to any of the other Party’s Confidential Information: (i) which, other than the Development IP, is already known by the non-owning Party at the time of the disclosure; (ii) following such information becoming publicly known without the wrongful act or breach of this Agreement by the non- owning Party; (iii) following such information becoming rightfully received by the non-owning Party from a Third Party without breaching any confidentiality obligation owed by such Third Party to the owning Party; (iv) following such information becoming approved for release by written authorization of the owning Party; or (v) other than the Development IP, following such information becoming subsequently and independently developed by employees or representatives of the non- owning Party without knowledge or use of the owning Party’s Confidential Information. The burden of proving the existence of facts which would provide an exception under this Section 9(C) rests with the non-owning Party. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent required under the JHU Agreements, SVI shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement to JHU.

Permitted Disclosures. Each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information:

Further Limitation on Use and Disclosure of Surgi-Vision IP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while CPI recognizes SVI’s legitimate right to commercialize the Surgi-Vision IP outside the Field, the Parties agree and acknowledge that, in order to give CPI the full benefit of the exclusive License granted herein, with respect to those portions of the Surgi-Vision IP that constitute Confidential Information owned by SVI, SVI will, if reasonably practical, take reasonable steps to limit the scope of any disclosure of such Surgi-Vision IP; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation on SVI will not apply with respect to disclosure of Surgi-Vision IP by SVI to Bionics. In the event CPI exercises its Termination Option under the Development Agreement and the License becomes non-exclusive, SVI’s obligations under this Section 9(E) shall cease.

Return of Information. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, each Party will return or destroy (at the other Party’s

choice) all Confidential Information owned by such other Party then in its possession and, if applicable, provide a certification of such destruction.

Publication and Authorship. Notwithstanding Section 9(E) above, SVI shall have the right to author, to publish and to retain or transfer copyright to scientific reports describing the methods and results of any or all Surgi-Vision IP licensed to CPI hereunder; provided that, if the studies were conducted with the financial and/or technical support of CPI or any of its Affiliates, such reports shall include an acknowledgment to that effect. Prior to publishing any reports or submitting any manuscripts wherein the publication could adversely affect patent rights for any Surgi-Vision IP (i.e., new inventions for which patent applications have not been filed), (i) SVI shall make the manuscripts for such reports available to CPI, using reasonable efforts to provide CPI copies of such manuscripts at least thirty (30) days before submission to a journal or other publisher so that CPI can take any steps it deems necessary to protect such Surgi-Vision IP disclosed in such manuscripts, (ii) CPI will promptly review such manuscripts, and (iii) SVI will delay its submission to such journal or other publisher for up to one hundred eighty (180) days if CPI, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it needs additional time to protect such Surgi-Vision IP.

Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Section 9 would be likely to cause serious and irreparable harm, the amount of which may be extremely difficult to estimate, thus making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Each Party therefore agrees that if the other Party breaches this Section 9 or if such Party has cause to believe that the other Party intends to or is about to breach such provisions, then such Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief enjoining the breach and will have the right to specifically enforce this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity.

Termination of Earlier Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties agree that the Earlier Confidentiality Agreement will terminate as of the Effective Date, and that any and all Confidential Information exchanged or disclosed by the Parties pursuant to the Earlier Confidentiality Agreement will be subject solely to the terms of this Section 9 and Section 9 of the Development Agreement.

No Conflicting Agreements. SVI represents, warrants and covenants that, after giving effect to the Bionics Amendment, it has not and will not enter into any agreement or commitment or obligation with any Third Party or Affiliate that conflicts in any way with its obligations under this Agreement. CPI represents, warrants and covenants that it has not and will

not enter into any agreement or commitment or obligation with any Third Party or Affiliate that conflicts in any way with its obligations under this Agreement.

Authority. Each Party represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date and after giving effect to the Bionics Amendment: (i) it has the full right, power, and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its terms; (ii) it has taken all required corporate actions to approve and adopt this Agreement; (iii) this Agreement is enforceable against it according to its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and (iv) the person or persons executing this Agreement on its behalf are duly authorized and empowered to do so. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SVI represents and warrants as of the Effective Date that, subject to the terms of the JHU Agreements, it has the authority to Prosecute all Patents which are part of the Surgi-Vision IP, including all Patents licensed to SVI under the JHU Agreements, and that SVI has the right to delegate or otherwise pass control of Prosecution to CPI and its Affiliates in the manner set forth in Section 12,

JHU Agreements. SVI represents and warrants that it has provided CPI with true and complete copies of the JHU Agreements and all appendices, addenda, amendments, waivers, consents or other agreements related thereto existing as of the Effective Date, and covenants that, subsequent to the Effective Date, it will not execute any appendices, addenda, amendments, waivers, consents or other agreements related to the JHU Agreements that adversely affect CPI’s or its Affiliates’ rights hereunder, without first obtaining CPI’s prior written consent. SVI further represents and warrants that the JHU Agreements are the only license agreements SVI has entered into with respect to Patents in the Implantable Cardiac Field.

Sufficiency. SVI represents and warrants that Exhibit A and Exhibit D collectively set forth a true and complete list, as of the Effective Date, of all Patents related to the development of the Licensed Products pursuant to the Development Agreement which are (i) owned or co-owned by SVI, or (ii) licensed to SVI (complete with the name of the Third Party Licensor of each licensed Patent) in the Implantable Cardiac Field. SVI represents and warrants that all items required to be disclosed pursuant to clause (ii) are licensed exclusively to SVI and constitute Surgi-Vision IP.

Title. SVI represents, warrants and covenants that, except as provided in this Agreement, the Development Agreement, the Bionics Agreements or the JHU Agreements: (i) SVI owns, and during the Term will continue to own, all legally enforceable right, title and interest to all of the Surgi-Vision IP it purports to own, and SVI has an exclusive license in the Implantable Cardiac Field to all of the Surgi-Vision IP that it does not

Third-Party Infringement. SVI represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, to SVI’s actual knowledge, (i) there is no Infringement by any Third Party (including any employee or former employee of SVI) of any Surgi-Vision IP, and (ii) there are no violations of any exclusive rights granted to SVI by its Third Party Licensors, except that SVI has filed a patent application (application number [***]) attempting to invoke an interference. SVI further represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, no Claims have been made by SVI or, to SVI’s actual knowledge, by SVI’s Third Party Licensors for any Infringement by others of any rights with respect to any Surgi-Vision IP, except that SVI has filed a patent application (application number [***]) attempting to invoke an interference.

Freedom-to-Operate. SVI represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, it has not received and has no knowledge of any Claim by a Third Party containing any express or implied allegation that SVI, its Third Party Licensors or the Surgi-Vision IP is or may be Infringing any of such Third Party’s Intellectual Property Rights, except that (i) SVI knows of a Third Party’s attempt to invoke an interference against U.S. 6,904,307, (ii) SVI has filed a re-issue with respect to U.S. 6,904,307, and (iii) SVI has filed a patent application (application number [***]) attempting to invoke an interference. If, at any time during the Term or thereafter, SVI receives or becomes aware of any such Claim, SVI shall promptly notify CPI of such Claim in writing, describing the Claim in reasonable detail (but, provided CPI has not exercised its Termination Option, performing and providing no written analysis regarding the Claim). Provided CPI has not exercised its Termination Option, upon such notice, CPI may, in its sole discretion, evaluate such Claim to determine whether a license of the Third Party’s Intellectual Property is necessary or desirable, or whether such Third Party’s Intellectual Property may otherwise have a material effect on the Surgi-Vision IP in the Implantable Cardiac Field. SVI further represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, it is not, and to SVI’s actual knowledge its Third Party Licensors are not, currently evaluating any Intellectual Property of any Third Party (and neither SVI nor, to SVI’s actual knowledge, its Third Party Licensors has conducted any such evaluations in the past three (3) years) to determine whether a license thereof is necessary or desirable, or whether such Intellectual Property may otherwise have a material effect on the Surgi-Vision IP in the Implantable Cardiac Field.

Know-How and Trade Secrets. SVI represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) it has taken, and will continue to take, all actions that a reasonably prudent person would take to maintain its Trade Secrets as confidential and proprietary, and to protect against the loss, theft or unauthorized use of such Trade Secrets; (ii) its Trade Secrets are not in the public domain and have not been divulged or appropriated to the detriment of SVI; (iii) SVI, and to SVI’s actual knowledge, its Third Party Licensors, have disclosed no confidential Surgi-Vision IP to any Third Party that was not, at the time of disclosure, under an obligation to maintain such Surgi-Vision IP in confidence, and, to SVI’s actual knowledge, there have been no breaches of any such confidentiality obligations; and (iv) SVI’s records do and will continue to include sufficient documentation of the Know-How and Trade Secrets, such as manufacturing and engineering plans, blueprints, designs, process instructions, formulae, quality assurance protocols and procedures and the like, to enable persons who are reasonably skilled and proficient in the relevant subject matter to continue the same in the ordinary course of business without unreasonable delay, expense, or reliance on the memory of any individual.

Licenses. SVI represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, it has not, and to its actual knowledge its Third Party Licensors have not: (i) granted any licenses or other rights, and have no obligation to grant any licenses or other rights, with respect to any Surgi-Vision IP in the Implantable Cardiac Field, except for (a) any rights retained by JHU under the JHU Agreements; and (b) to the extent a Patent was supported by federal funding obtained by JHU, any rights, conditions and limitations imposed by U.S. law (including any royalty-free non-exclusive license granted to the U.S. government pursuant to U.S. law and any requirement that products used or sold in the U.S. be manufactured substantially in the U.S.); or (ii) entered into any covenant not to compete or contract limiting or purporting to limit the ability of SVI to grant any licenses and assignments in fulfillment of its obligations herein. SVI further represents, warrants and covenants that none of the Surgi-Vision IP or Royalty Patents was or will be supported by federal funding obtained by SVI, and that there are and will be no rights, conditions and limitations imposed by U.S. law (including any royalty-free non-exclusive license granted to the U.S. government pursuant to U.S. law) with respect to same.

Validity. SVI represents and warrants as of the Effective Date that, to SVI’s actual knowledge: (i) there have been no sales, public disclosures, or other events that create a bar to patentability of any Billabong Patents; (ii) none of the Billabong Patents has been abandoned, suppressed, or concealed; (iii) to SVI’s actual knowledge, as of the Effective Date there are no impediments to patenting any of the Surgi-Vision IP (other than due to certain Surgi-Vision IP being non-patentable subject matter or as otherwise disclosed in the following clause (iv)); (iv) there is no

Disclosure. SVI represents and warrants that in the course of diligence and negotiations leading up to the execution of this Agreement, SVI has not misrepresented to CPI any material information regarding the Surgi-Vision IP and the technology related thereto.

No Existing Infringement by CPI or CPI’s Affiliates. SVI represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, it has no actual knowledge that any CPI or CPI Affiliate lead existing as of the Effective Date does or would Infringe (i) a valid and enforceable claim of an issued Royalty Patent or (ii) any allowed claims of a pending patent application for a Royalty Patent, upon the issuance of same.

Notice of Infringement. If either Party learns of any actual, alleged or threatened Infringement of any BSC Controlled Surgi-Vision IP by a Third Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and shall provide such other Party with all available evidence of such Infringement.

Enforcement [***]. As between the Parties, [***] shall have the sole right (but not the obligation), each at its own expense and with legal counsel of its own choice, to bring suit (or take other appropriate legal action) against any actual, alleged or threatened Infringement of the [***]; provided, however, that [***] shall have the right (but, subject to Section 11(D) below, not the obligation) to participate in an advisory capacity only in the

Enforcement Following a Loss of Exclusive Rights. Notwithstanding Section 11(B) above to the contrary, in the event [***], as between the Parties, [***] shall have the sole right (but not the obligation), at its own expense and with legal counsel of its own choice, to bring suit (or take other appropriate legal action) against any actual, alleged or threatened Infringement of [***].

Join in Action. If a Party brings any such action or proceeding hereunder, the other Party agrees to be joined as party plaintiff if necessary to prosecute such action or proceeding, and to give the Party bringing such action or proceeding reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to transfer any right, title or interest in or to any property to the other Party or any Third Party to confer standing on a Party hereunder.

Costs. [***] will pay all costs, fees, and expenses associated with an Infringement action initiated and prosecuted solely by [***]. [***] will pay all costs, fees, and expenses associated with (i) an Infringement action initiated and prosecuted solely by [***], and (ii) [***] participation in an advisory capacity under Section 11(B).

Recovery. Any recovery obtained in an action initiated and prosecuted solely by [***], and in which [***] does not participate in an advisory capacity, shall belong to [***]. Any recovery obtained in an action initiated and prosecuted solely by [***] shall belong to [***]. Any recovery obtained in an action initiated and prosecuted by [***], and in which [***] participates in an advisory capacity, shall be allocated in a fair and equitable manner mutually determined by the Parties. For purposes of clarity, any recovery pursuant to this section will be net of litigation costs as provided in Section 11(E) above.

Cooperation. Each Party agrees to fully cooperate with the other in the prosecution of any such suit at no additional expense to that cooperating Party.

Costs. CPI and its Affiliates will pay all Patent Prosecution costs and expenses for all Patents subject to their sole control, as set forth in Section 12(B) below (“Prosecution Costs”).

Intellectual Property Protection. With respect to any BSC Controlled Surgi-Vision IP, CPI and its Affiliates will jointly control the Prosecution of all Patents, each at its own expense and with legal counsel of its own choice, and will take such other legal steps as CPI and its Affiliates will determine in their sole discretion to be necessary to protect their rights for all BSC Controlled Surgi-Vision IP. For the avoidance of doubt, neither CPI nor its Affiliates will be obligated to pay any Prosecution Costs to protect any Intellectual Property if they determine, in their sole discretion, that those Prosecution Costs outweigh the likely benefits to CPI or such Affiliate.

SVI Cooperation. SVI will cooperate with CPI and its Affiliates in filing, Prosecuting and maintaining Patents and taking such other legal steps as set forth in this Section 12 and will execute and deliver any documents and instruments in connection therewith which CPI or its Affiliates may request at no additional cost or expense to CPI or such Affiliate.

SVI Inspection and Intervention. SVI will have the right upon reasonable notice and reasonable request to inspect, at SVI’s sole expense and discretion, the Prosecution documents and strategy of CPI and its Affiliates with respect to the BSC Controlled Surgi-Vision IP. The Parties agree that such information constitutes Confidential Information of CPI and its Affiliates, and that the disclosure of such information is not intended to constitute a waiver of any privilege, including attorney-client privilege. In addition, CPI (or its applicable Affiliate) will provide written notice to SVI prior to abandoning any patent application or issued Patent that is part of the BSC Controlled Surgi-Vision IP. If SVI desires to file and Prosecute any such patent application, or to pay maintenance fees or annuities to maintain any such issued Patent, in any country that CPI or its Affiliates determined was not worthwhile to protect CPI’s or such Affiliates’ rights, SVI may provide CPI with a reasonable written request to file and Prosecute or maintain such Patent (“Prosecution Request”). CPI will have 30 days to fulfill the Prosecution Request. If CPI or one of its Affiliates fails to complete the Prosecution Request within 30 days of receiving the Prosecution Request, SVI may independently file and Prosecute the patent application or maintain the issued Patent that was the subject of the Prosecution Request, and SVI will bear all Prosecution Costs and will control the remainder of the Prosecution for such patent application or the maintenance of such issued Patent.

General Indemnification. Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party (the “Indemnified Party”) and all of such Party’s Affiliates from and against any and all liabilities, losses, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively “Damages”), to the extent such Damages arise out of any Third Party claim based on allegations that, if true as alleged, would constitute (i) a breach of the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement, or (ii) a material breach of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

Indemnification Procedures. An Indemnifying Party’s duty to indemnify pursuant to Section 13(A) is subject to the Indemnified Party giving prompt written notice to such Indemnifying Party of any claim against the Indemnified Party covered by the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder; provided, however, that a delay in such notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not terminate indemnification obligations hereunder, unless such delay shall have materially impaired the defense of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have sole and exclusive control of the defense of any such claim, including the choice and direction of any legal counsel. The Indemnified Party may not settle or compromise any such claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

Notices. Any notice or other communication in connection with this Agreement must be in writing, must be addressed as provided below and will be deemed delivered when (a) actually delivered in person or by facsimile, provided that delivery is made during normal business hours, (b) three business days have elapsed after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid and registered or certified, return receipt requested, or (c) two business days after sent by nationally recognized overnight receipted courier:

Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder will be assignable by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Party and any purported assignment without such consent will be void; provided that, subject to CPI’s exercise of its rights pursuant to Section 5(C)(iii) of the Development Agreement, either Party may, without such prior written consent, assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or in connection with a merger or consolidation (or other similar transaction) or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets in the realm of its respective field under this Agreement; provided, further, that such Party must give the other Party thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment. Any permitted assignee will assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. No assignment will relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any accrued obligation that such Party then has hereunder.

Affiliates. To the extent that CPI allows its Affiliates to exercise rights pursuant to this Agreement (including under a sublicense from CPI), CPI agrees (i) to bind such Affiliates to the confidentiality, use restriction, records/audit, intellectual property enforcement and patent Prosecution provisions of this Agreement and (ii) to be responsible for any breaches by its Affiliates of such provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, but subject to the previous sentence, if and when CPI allows its Affiliates to exercise rights pursuant to this Agreement (including under a sublicense from CPI), CPI may do so under any form of permission or arrangement, whether written, oral or course of conduct, and if done pursuant to a written document irrespective of whether that particular written document contains within its four corners all of the restrictions and requirements set forth in this Agreement.

Force Majeure. If the performance of this Agreement or any obligations under this Agreement, except the making of required payments, is prevented, restricted, or interfered with by reason of fire, flood, earthquakes, explosion, or other casualty, accident, or act of God; strikes or labor disturbances; war, whether declared or not, or other violence; sabotage; any law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand, or requirement of any government agency; or any other event beyond the reasonable control of the Parties, the affected Party, upon giving prompt notice to the other Party, will be excused from such performance to the extent of such prevention, restriction, or interference. The affected Party will use its reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such cause of non-performance or to limit the impact of the event on such Party’s performance and will continue performance with the utmost dispatch whenever such causes are removed.

Export Controls. A recipient of technical data or products agrees to comply with all United States Department of Commerce and other United States export controls. Each Party agrees that, unless prior authorization is obtained from the Office of Export Administration, it will not knowingly ship or transfer technical data covered by this Agreement or any direct product of such technical data, directly or indirectly, to any country in contravention of any Office of Export Administration requirement.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement and its Exhibits, together with the Development Agreement, set forth the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or discharged except as expressly stated in this Agreement or by a written agreement signed in ink by an authorized representative of each Party.

Separability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed separable. If any provision in this Agreement will be found or be held to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction in which this Agreement is performed, then the meaning of that provision will be construed, to the extent feasible, to render the provision enforceable, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it will be severed from the remainder of this Agreement that will remain in full force and effect unless the provisions that are invalid or unenforceable substantially impair the value of the entire Agreement to either Party. In such event, the Parties will use their respective reasonable efforts to negotiate a substitute, valid and enforceable provision that most nearly reflects the Parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement whether by conduct or otherwise in any one or more instances will be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.

Relationship of Parties. Each of the Parties hereto is an independent contractor and nothing herein will be deemed to constitute the relationship of partners, joint venturers, nor of principal and agent between the Parties hereto.

Counsel/Interpretation. The Parties and their respective counsel have negotiated this Agreement or have had an opportunity to review this Agreement. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (a) the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting Party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement; and (b) the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to all Parties hereto and not in favor of or against any Party, regardless of which Party was generally responsible for the preparation of this Agreement. When used in this Agreement, the words “including” or “includes” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

Governing Law. The construction, validity and performance of this Agreement will be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Minnesota, U.S.A., without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. Each Party hereby submits itself for the sole purpose of this Agreement and any controversy arising hereunder to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of Minnesota, and any courts of appeal therefrom, and waives any objection (on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens or otherwise) to the exercise of such non-exclusive jurisdiction over it by any such courts. With the exception of an arbitration pursuant to Section 4 above, any action brought by SVI against CPI in connection with this Agreement, must be instituted in the federal or state courts located in the State of Minnesota. A Party shall be entitled to seek within such jurisdiction whatever equitable relief it may be entitled to under applicable law.

Headings. The article and section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not constitute a part hereof.

No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. Except with respect to CPI’s Affiliates and to Persons receiving indemnification under Section 13, no person not a Party to this Agreement is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement, and no person not a Party to this Agreement will have any right to enforce any term of this Agreement.

Compliance with Laws. Each Party will comply in all material respects with all applicable U.S. and foreign statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, orders and regulations in all actions relating to this Agreement and its performance hereunder.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument, and all signatures need not appear on any one counterpart.

Effect of Bankruptcy. No proceeding, or result or adjudication of a proceeding, in which either of the Parties is a debtor, defendant or party seeking an order for its own relief or reorganization, under any foreign, United States or state bankruptcy or insolvency law will (in and of itself) cause a termination of this Agreement or any of the licenses granted under this Agreement.

U.S. Dollars. All payments to SVI contemplated in this Agreement, including payments of the License Fee, all royalty payments and payments of Sub-License Revenue, shall be made in U.S. Dollars.
