(b) The Purchase Price shall be allocated pursuant to a schedule to be furnished to Seller by Buyer and agreed upon by Buyer and Seller prior to the Closing, or as soon as practicable after Closing. Buyer and Seller covenant that they will cooperate in good faith to determine an allocation of purchase price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller and Buyer fail to agree upon an allocation, the parties shall submit the matter to arbitration as provided in Section 10.15 herein, and shall in any case use reasonable best efforts to agree to an allocation (whether through arbitration or otherwise). Any Tax Return filed by a party shall be consistent with such allocations, unless otherwise required by a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(c) To the extent relevant to the Purchased Assets and the Business, Seller shall (i) provide Buyer with such assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with

the preparation of any Tax Return, amended tax return or claim for refund of any Tax, and the conduct of any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings relating to any liability for Taxes and (ii) retain and provide Buyer with all records or other information that may be relevant to the preparation of any Tax Returns, or the conduct of any audit or examination, or other tax proceeding.

6.2 Noncompetition Agreement. For and in consideration of the transactions contemplated herein, during the period commencing with the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Noncompetition Period”), Seller shall not engage in any Competitive Activity in the Restricted Territory. Seller agrees that each of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.2 goes no further than is necessary to protect the legitimate business interest of Buyer.

6.3 Use of Name. Immediately following the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall thereafter use for any purpose the name of any Product or any similar sounding name or any variant thereof. Seller agrees that Buyer may use or sell any products, inventory, supplies, parts or sales or marketing materials conveyed to Buyer as part of the Purchased Assets notwithstanding the fact that certain of such products, inventory, supplies, parts or sales or marketing materials may have affixed to them labels or other marks bearing a name or names not included in the Purchased Assets.

6.4 Restrictions on Securities.

(a) Seller covenants that in no event will it dispose of any of the Shares unless and until: (i) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or (ii) (A) Seller shall have notified Buyer of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished Buyer with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, which in the case of a sale to be made pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act shall be limited to customary representations regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 regarding volume, manner of sale and other matters, and (B) Seller shall have furnished Buyer at Seller’s expense an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act; provided that Buyer shall not require an opinion of counsel for routine sales of shares pursuant to Rule 144.

(b) All certificates for the Shares shall bear the following restrictive legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF THE ACT.”

The certificates evidencing the Shares shall also bear any legend required by the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California or required pursuant to any state, local or foreign law governing such securities.

(c) The legend set forth in subsection (b) above shall be removed and Buyer shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of Shares upon which it is stamped, if: (i) the Shares represented by such certificate have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) in connection with the resale of such Shares, such holder provides Buyer with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to Buyer, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act; or (iii) such holder provides Buyer with reasonable assurances that such Shares have been sold under Rule 144 or can be sold under Rule 144(k).

6.5 Registration.

(a) Filing. Buyer shall file as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 20 days after the Closing Date) and use its reasonable efforts to have declared effective as promptly as practicable (but in any event, within 90 days after the Closing Date) a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) promulgated under the Securities Act, covering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”). Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and remain effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Shares have been sold or (ii) the date that is two hundred seventy (270) days after the Shares are issued.

(b) Limitations. The registration rights granted to Seller above are subject to the following limitations:

(i) Buyer shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days, the filing of the Registration Statement or its efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective if at the time the right to delay is exercised, Buyer shall determine in good faith that such offering would interfere with any acquisition, financing or other transaction which Buyer is actively pursuing and is material to Buyer or would involve initial or continuing disclosure obligations that would not be in the best interests of Buyer; and

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer by notice to Seller may postpone all sales under the Registration Statement for a reasonable time, not exceeding thirty (30) days, if Buyer shall determine in good faith that permitting such sales would interfere in any material respect with any material acquisition, financing or other transaction which Buyer is actively pursuing or require premature disclosure (if Buyer is so advised by its legal counsel) of any other material corporate development or event, which disclosure Buyer believes would adversely affect the interests of Buyer; provided that Buyer may not implement more than one such postponement.

6.6 Cash Adjustments Based on Effectiveness Price.

(a) If on the Effectiveness Date, the Effectiveness Price is less than the Closing Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller, within 20 days after the Effectiveness Date, an amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Seller designated in writing to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i) equal to (i) the difference between (A) the Closing Price and (B) the Effectiveness Price, multiplied by (ii) the total number of Shares.

(b) If on the Effectiveness Date, the Effectiveness Price exceeds the Closing Price, Seller shall pay to Buyer, within 20 days after the Effectiveness Date, an amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Buyer designated in writing to Seller equal to (i) the difference between (A) the Effectiveness Price and (B) the Closing Price, multiplied by (ii) the total number of Shares.

6.7 Transition Covenant. Seller, the Members and the Managers hereby covenant and agree to use their best efforts to complete the Transition Activities to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer by no later than six months following the Closing Date, and in any event covenant and agree to use their best efforts to complete to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer the Transition Activities by no later than nine months following the Closing Date. The failure of Seller, the Members and the Managers to complete the Transaction Activities as a result of the failure of Buyer to provide a reasonable opportunity to perform such activities shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.7.

6.8 Non-Disparagement. On and after the Closing Date, neither Seller, the Members, the Managers, or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, will: (a) make any negative statement or communication regarding the Business, the Products or the other parties, or (b) make any derogatory or disparaging statement or communication regarding the Business, the Products, or the other parties.

6.9 Right to Use Name. On and after the Closing Date, for a period of 9 months, Seller shall continue to have the right to use the name Radius Medical solely for administrative purposes in assisting in the collection of outstanding accounts receivable.

6.10 Recourse Against MBI. In the event of a breach by Seller of its representations contained in Section 4.7(d) or 4.17 relating to the manufacturing of the Products, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer will exercise its rights and remedies under the Supply Agreement with respect any representations or

warranties in the Supply Agreement that have been breached. Buyer agrees that any amounts recovered pursuant to claims made under the Supply Agreement (net of Buyer’s attorneys fees and other expenses) will offset any claims made by Buyer against Seller pursuant to this Agreement for a breach of its representations or warranties contained in Section 4.7(d) or 4.17.

(b) Indemnification by Buyer. As an inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, and acknowledging that Seller is relying on the indemnification provided in this Article 9 in entering into this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, each of the Members and each of the Managers and their respective Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Seller Affiliates”), from and against any Claims and Losses suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of or in connection with the following: (i) a breach of any obligation, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer in this Agreement or any Additional Agreement, or because any representation or warranty by Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Additional Agreement, in any document furnished or required to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement by Buyer to Seller, or any of their representatives, or any documents furnished to Seller in connection with the Closing hereunder, shall be false; (ii) any and all liabilities of Seller of any nature arising solely out of the Purchased Assets after the Closing Date except for matters which are the subject of indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a); and (iii) costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, demand, assessment or judgment incident to any of the foregoing (collectively, “Seller Damages”).

(c) Defense and Settlement. Buyer shall have the right to defend a claim of infringement or misappropriation asserted by a third party with litigation counsel of its choice and shall instruct said counsel to diligently and energetically defend. Buyer shall keep Seller apprised of the developments in the action. Seller, the Members and the Managers shall cooperate in the defense of each and every claim. Without limitation, the cooperation shall include making available documents and or witnesses as may be within the control of Seller, the Members or the Managers, cooperating in assisting Buyer to determine all particulars of operation of the accused product or method, and in identifying and proving counterclaims against the third party. Buyer shall retain control of the litigation and shall therefore, have the right to make the final decision with respect to defenses, counterclaims and strategy. Seller, the Members and the Managers shall strictly observe all conduct and communication rules that litigation counsel shall impose with respect to the claim or litigation, including, but not limited to, issuance of press releases, public statements and even to statements to individuals within the employ of Seller who either do not have a strict need to know, or, to whom communication would be restricted by reason of any protective order in effect. Buyer shall be entitled to settle any third party claim in any manner which, in Buyer’s sole reasonable judgment, is appropriate, and Seller, the Members and the Managers shall reasonably cooperate and comply with such acts as shall be required to accomplish settlement.

9.2 Representation, Cooperation and Settlement.

(a) Each party agrees to give prompt notice to the other, of any claim against the other, which might give rise to a claim based on the indemnity contained in Sections 9.1(a) and 9.1(b), stating the nature and basis of the claim and the amount thereof.

(b) In the event any claims, action, suit or proceeding is brought against a party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to which another party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may have liability under the indemnity contained in Sections 9.1(a) and 9.1(b) hereof, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting from such claim, provided that Buyer shall not be required to permit Seller, the Members or the Managers to assume the defense of any third party claim which if not first paid, discharged, or otherwise complied with would result in a material interruption or cessation of the conduct of Buyer’s business or any material part thereof or materially impair the value of the Purchased Assets. Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to defend any such claim or action by a third party within thirty (30) days after notice thereof shall have been given by the Indemnified Party, shall be deemed a waiver of any such election. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder as to such claim shall include taking all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, including the retention of competent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and holding the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all damage resulting from, arising out of, or incurred with respect to any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation resulting therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such claim or litigation, consent to the entry of any judgment (other than a judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs) except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party nor enter into any settlement (except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party) which does not include as an unconditional

term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of any such claim by a third party or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it deems appropriate. The Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with the provisions hereof, promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount of any settlement reasonably entered into by the Indemnified Party and for all damage incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense against or settlement of such claim or litigation.

9.3 Interest. In the case Buyer makes payments to third parties (including federal, state, local or other tax authorities) which are indemnifiable hereunder, the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Article 9 with respect thereto shall include interest on the amount of such payment from the effective date of the Indemnified Party’s notice of such payment to the Indemnifying Party or the date on which such payment is made (whichever is later) through the date on which the Indemnified Party shall have been indemnified therefor, at a simple rate of interest equal to the rate per annum earned on the Additional Consideration pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.

9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article 3 and of Buyer in Article 4 above shall survive the Closing hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect after such Closing for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3 (Taxes), Section 4.6 (Title to Purchased Assets), Section 4.7 (Intellectual Property), Section 4.11 (Environmental Matters) and Section 4.17 (FDA Matters), claims for fraud and willful misrepresentation, and pending claims that are not satisfied within the 18 month period shall continue to survive after the Closing Date until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations.

9.5 Indemnity Cap. The maximum aggregate amount of Claims and Losses for which any party (including Buyer, Seller, any Member or any Manager) shall be liable pursuant to this Article 9 shall be $2,000,000.

9.6 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. In the absence of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, the indemnification obligations of Seller, the Members, the Managers and Buyer under this Article 9 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of any Indemnified Party for the recovery of monetary damages with respect to the matters described in Sections 9.1(a) and (b). The terms of this Section 9.6 shall not be construed as limiting in any way whatsoever any remedy other than for the recovery of monetary damages to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled.

9.7 Thresholds. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall seek or be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 until the aggregate amount of Claims and Losses incurred by such party exceeds $100,000, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for indemnification for the entire amount of all such Claims and Losses (and not merely the excess over $100,000).
