Uroplasty will list the Products, as finalized by Uroplasty, with the U.S. FDA and other applicable regulatory agencies as Uroplasty products.

     After the License Term (but only if the License Term ends upon the natural expiration of this Agreement and specifically other than on account of (a) Uroplasty’s exercise of its Option or Right of First Refusal as described in Section 6 below or (b) a material breach by CystoMedix), Uroplasty will transfer ownership of the Product Regulatory Materials relating to the URGENT-PC product (in the form that such product exists on the date of this Agreement and not as improved, enhanced or modified hereafter) to CystoMedix.

     (b) Manufacturing of Products. Establish its own manufacturing facility (or outsource to a third party) for the manufacture of the Products according to all regulatory requirements of the Territory in which the Products will be distributed (i.e., U.S. FDA Quality System Regulations, European Medical Device Directives, or Canadian Medical Device Requirements (CMDCAS)) utilizing the documents provided by CystoMedix pursuant to Section 3(c) below. Uroplasty will own the manufacturing processes and documentation it develops and uses for the Products.

     (c) Marketing. Use its commercially reasonable efforts to market and sell the Products in the Territory at such prices, and on such terms, as Uroplasty shall determine in its sole discretion, and aid CystoMedix in obtaining applicable trademark registrations for the Trademarks in the Territory.

Supply Uroplasty with (i) any and all worldwide regulatory status changes relative to the Products market clearances, including any and all worldwide regulatory agency/Notified Body/consultant correspondence, (ii) worldwide clinical adverse event experience (including investigational notes), (iii) assistance as Uroplasty requests to investigate and resolve Products complaints and/or clinical adverse events and (iv) update the CystoMedix registration with the U.S. FDA and the Product device listings to reflect the provisions of this Agreement. CystoMedix will retain all responsibility, including regulatory

responsibility, for clearance, design, manufacture, distribution, labeling and advertising of any Products manufactured by it, including prior to the date of this Agreement.

     (c) Products Design and Manufacturing Specifications. Deliver to Uroplasty the necessary product design and manufacturing specifications, as amended, modified or enhanced from time to time, for the manufacture of the Products (“Products Design and Manufacturing Specifications”).

     (d) Marketing Assistance. Use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Uroplasty in the marketing of the Products by sharing (without cost) all of CystoMedix’s current and future marketing materials, including but not limited to product photographs and graphics, trademark logos and designs, brochures and website designs, customer lists and leads in the Territory and other information as reasonably requested by Uroplasty from time to time.

     (f) Financial Records. Use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain financial and accounting records sufficiently adequate so as to permit a independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of CystoMedix and subsidiaries as of and for the two years ended, or ending, as of then most recent CystoMedix fiscal year end (provided, that in no event shall CystoMedix be required to have financial and accounting records auditable for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 or earlier). To this end, CystoMedix agrees during the License Term, and prior to any exercise of Uroplasty’s Option or Right of First Refusal (as described in Section 6 below), (i) to retain a third party firm reasonably acceptable to Uroplasty (Matrix Associates, Inc. is hereby pre-cleared for this purpose) to assist CystoMedix on a quarterly basis in preparing appropriate financial statements and maintaining appropriate accounting procedures and (ii) to retain an independent registered accounting firm to observe the taking of CystoMedix’s inventory on the last day of each fiscal year.

     4. Inventory. Within 10 (ten) days following the Effective Date, deliver to Uroplasty 3/4ths of CystoMedix’s inventory. This inventory is currently in multiple locations within The Netherlands and the United States. The parties will equitably divide the component parts, subassemblies and finished items in a manner that will reasonably allocate 3/4th of the useful components and subassemblies (including those that can reasonably be salvaged from finished goods) for Uroplasty. Uroplasty shall pay CystoMedix for such inventory the sum of $25,000 in one lump sum payment payable within ten (10) days following the Effective Date.

Uroplasty will have the exclusive right to determine whether to seek patent protection for any of

-4-


 

the Improved Products and will bear all patent prosecution and patent maintenance charges with respect to them. During (i) the License Term and (ii) after the License Term (but only if the License Term ends upon the natural expiration of this Agreement and specifically other than on account of (a) Uroplasty’s exercise of its Option or Right of First Refusal as described in Section 6 below or (b) a breach by CystoMedix), Uroplasty grants CystoMedix an exclusive, royalty-free, right and license to manufacture, have manufactured, use, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Improved Products outside of the Territory. However, in order to give Uroplasty the opportunity to file for patent protection on the Improved Products outside of the Territory, CystoMedix must give Uroplasty at least 90 days prior written notice of CystoMedix’s intention to market the Improved Products in any jurisdiction outside of the Territory. Using good faith at all times, the parties will notify, provide and otherwise cooperate with each other in all respects regarding the Improved Products without additional charge under this Agreement. Without limitation, this includes CystoMedix’s obligation to arrange for assignment by CystoMedix’s employees to Uroplasty of any rights to Improved Products.

     6.      Option and Right of First Refusal.

     (a) CystoMedix hereby grants Uroplasty the exclusive right and option to acquire all but not less than all of the assets of CystoMedix (the “Option”) pursuant to the asset purchase agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Uroplasty may exercise this Option at any time beginning on January 1, 2006, but not later than 5:00 p.m. Central Time on June 30, 2008, by providing an executed copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement to CystoMedix.

     (b) In addition, if at any time before Uroplasty exercises its Option (including prior to the date that Uroplasty may first exercise the Option), CystoMedix receives a bona fide written offer by a third party, acceptable to CystoMedix, for the “Sale and Purchase” (as defined below) of CystoMedix (the “Written Offer”), Uroplasty shall have the first right and option (the “Right of First Refusal”) to consummate the transaction described in the Written Offer (at Uroplasty’s sole election) either (a) on the terms and conditions described in the Written Offer or (b) pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt of the Written Offer, CystoMedix shall immediately deliver a copy of the Written Offer to Uroplasty. Uroplasty shall exercise its Right of First Refusal by giving written notice to CystoMedix within thirty (30) days of receiving a copy of the Written Offer. In the event that Uroplasty does not exercise the Right of First Refusal, CystoMedix may consummate a Sale and Purchase transaction pursuant to the terms of the Written Offer within 120 days of the date of the Written Offer; provided, that the purchaser or successor to CystoMedix or its assets agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including Uroplasty’s Option rights with respect to the assets or business formerly of CystoMedix that is purchased or otherwise acquired by the purchaser or successor pursuant to the Sale and Purchase transaction). If CystoMedix does not consummate the Sale and Purchase transaction within such 120-day period, the Right of First Refusal shall thereafter again apply. The term “Sale and Purchase” includes one or a combination of (a) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of CystoMedix, (b) an issuance, sale or transfer of CystoMedix’s equity securities (including securities convertible into equity securities)

-5-


 

representing a majority interest of CystoMedix following the consummation of the transaction, (c) a merger or consolidation of CystoMedix with or into another company or entity or (d) other similar extraordinary corporate transaction.

     7.      Royalties. In consideration of the exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights granted by CystoMedix to Uroplasty hereunder, Uroplasty shall pay to CystoMedix the following royalties:

     (a) $225,000 is due and payable by Uroplasty on the Effective Date (the “Initial Royalty Payment”).

     (b) $250,000 is payable in twelve equal and successive monthly installments of $20,833.33 due on each monthly anniversary date of the Effective Date (the “Scheduled Monthly Royalty Payments”).

     (c) Uroplasty shall pay CystoMedix 7% of Uroplasty’s “Net Product Revenues” during the License Term. The term “Net Product Revenues” means (i) the actual amounts billed during the License Term by Uroplasty (translated into U.S. dollars consistent with the manner in which Uroplasty reports its revenues for SEC reporting purposes) for Uroplasty’s sale of Products to end users or distributors, or from Uroplasty’s sublicense of its rights hereunder to manufacture or distribute Products, in the Territory, less (ii) trade discounts to customers, refunds, advertising allowances, sales and excise taxes, other customer allowances or discounts actually given by Uroplasty and shipping and insurance charges. Royalties are due and payable quarterly within 45 days after the end of each of Uroplasty’s fiscal quarters on Net Product Revenues actually received during the applicable fiscal quarter. Simultaneously with the quarterly payments, Uroplasty shall deliver to CystoMedix a report of the Net Product Revenues and the computation of the royalty. Uroplasty agrees to maintain full and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable CystoMedix to determine the royalties payable hereunder. Despite any of the foregoing, royalties computed under this paragraph (c) shall be offset against (and thus reduced by) payments of the Scheduled Monthly Royalty Payments.

     8.      Product Purchases. During the License Term, Uroplasty grants CystoMedix the non-exclusive right to purchase, and Uroplasty agrees to sell, the Products to CystoMedix solely for sales outside of the Territory at a price, and on terms and conditions, to be determined by the parties in good faith. CystoMedix will be responsible for determining the regulatory clearance requirements, including manufacturing, submissions, labeling and promotional requirements in the jurisdiction in which CystoMedix supplies Products.

     9.      CystoMedix’s Representations and Warranties. CystoMedix represents and warrants to Uroplasty that (i) except as described on the attached Exhibit B, it is the full and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Products, the Products Design and Manufacturing Specifications, the CystoMedix Patent Rights and the Trademarks (collectively the “CystoMedix Intellectual Property”), (ii) it has the sole and exclusive right to grant the rights under this Agreement to Uroplasty throughout the term of the Agreement, (iii) except as

On the Closing Date, Uroplasty will grant on a pro rata basis to the then holders, if any, of outstanding options to purchase CystoMedix Common Stock new options (the “Uroplasty Stock Options”) to purchase an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Uroplasty’s Common Stock.

SECTION 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF UROPLASTY

     Uroplasty hereby makes to CystoMedix each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6 as follows:

-16-


 

     6.1 Organization and Good Standing. Uroplasty is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota with full corporate power to conduct its business as now being conducted.

     6.2 Authority. Uroplasty has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument to be executed and delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each such other agreement, document and instrument by it has been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary action on its part and no other action on its part is required in connection therewith. This Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument to be executed and delivered by Uroplasty pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of Uroplasty, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except to the extent that enforcement is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws of general application affecting creditors’ rights or by the application by a court of equity principles. The execution, delivery and performance by Uroplasty of this Agreement and each such agreement, document and instrument:

     (a) does not and will not violate any foreign, federal, state, local or other laws, regulations or ordinances applicable to Uroplasty;

     (b) does not or will not violate any term or provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Uroplasty; or

     (c) does not and will not result in a breach of, constitute or result in a default under, accelerate any obligation under or give rise to a right of termination of, any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, contract, instrument, mortgage, lien, lease, permit, authorization, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or arbitration award to which Uroplasty is a party or by which the property of Uroplasty is bound or affected, or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance on any of Uroplasty’s assets.

     No consent or waiver by, approval of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Person or authority (governmental or otherwise) is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Uroplasty of this Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument to be executed and delivered by Uroplasty pursuant to this Agreement.

     6.3 Uroplasty Common Stock. The Uroplasty Common Stock being issued hereunder will be (i) duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, (ii) fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights and (iii) except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, free and clear of any and all pledges, claims, restrictions, charges, liens, security interests, encumbrances or other interests of third parties of any nature whatsoever.

-17-


 

     6.3 SEC Reports; Financial Statements. Except as described on Schedule 6.3, the Company has filed all SEC Reports required to be filed by it under the Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the twelve months preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law to file such reports, forms or other information). Unless corrected in a subsequent SEC Report, as of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed (if applicable, as corrected), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     6.4 Completeness. The representations, warranties and statements contained in this Agreement and in the certificates, exhibits and schedules delivered by Uroplasty to CystoMedix pursuant to this Agreement, when taken together, do not and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, and do not and shall not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make such representations, warranties or statements not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made.

SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION

     7.1 Materiality; Survival. All representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and obligations herein or in any schedule, certificate or financial statement delivered by any party incident to the transactions contemplated hereby are material, shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the parties and shall survive the Closing hereof.

     7.2 Indemnification.

     (a) CystoMedix agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Uroplasty and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates and the persons serving as officers, directors, partners, employees or agents thereof harmless from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses as the same are incurred; together referred to as “Losses”) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be sustained or suffered by any of them arising out of, based upon or in connection with any of the following matters:

(i)   a breach of any representation, warranty, agreement, covenant or obligation made by CystoMedix in this Agreement or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate or financial statement delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or by reason of any claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted growing out of any matter or thing constituting a breach of such representations, warranties or covenants;

-18-


 

(ii)   Fraud in connection with the making by CystoMedix of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation or an intentional misrepresentation by CystoMedix of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation; and

(iii)   any return, rebate or other expense (including warranty, installation, configuration or other service work) associated with products shipped and/or installed, or services rendered, by CystoMedix prior to Closing.

     (b) Uroplasty shall give prompt written notice to CystoMedix and, if the Escrow Agreement is still in effect, the Escrow Agent, of any claim, liability or expense to which the indemnification obligations hereunder would apply. Such notice shall state the information then available regarding the amount of such claim, liability or expense and shall specify the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which the claim, liability or expense is asserted. The failure to promptly notify CystoMedix and the Escrow Agent (if applicable) as provided above shall not relieve CystoMedix of any liability hereunder except to the extent that the rights of CystoMedix have been materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of the failure to give, or the delay in giving, such notice.

     (c) If such indemnification claim, liability or expense is the subject of litigation, CystoMedix shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such litigation, or Uroplasty may authorize CystoMedix, if it so desires, to take over the defense of such litigation so long as such defense is expeditious and is undertaken by counsel reasonably acceptable to Uroplasty. Otherwise, Uroplasty will control the defense of such claim.

     (d) Upon resolution of the indemnification claim, whether by final judicial decision after all periods for appeal have lapsed, settlement, arbitration decision or otherwise, Uroplasty shall give CystoMedix written notice of the Losses incurred by Uroplasty with respect to the claim (the “Uroplasty Final Notice”). Thereafter, CystoMedix shall have 30 days to give Uroplasty written notice that it intends to dispute the amount of Uroplasty’s claimed Losses. Within 30 days after receipt of said written notice, Uroplasty shall attempt to settle the dispute with CystoMedix. If CystoMedix and Uroplasty do not reach settlement of Uroplasty’s claim within such 30 days, the dispute may at any time thereafter be submitted by either party to arbitration in Minneapolis, Minnesota, before three arbitrators, one of which is selected by CystoMedix, one of which is selected by Uroplasty and the third of which is selected by the first two arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. CystoMedix and Uroplasty agree that the arbitrators’ award (which shall be agreed to unanimously by the arbitrators) shall be final and binding upon them with respect to the dispute and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All costs of the arbitration (including the reasonable legal expenses of all parties thereto) shall be borne by CystoMedix and/or Uroplasty in the amounts determined by the arbitrators, which shall base such determination upon the relative merits of the respective positions of the parties in the dispute.

-19-


 

     The judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. There shall be added to the amount of any arbitration award interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the amount required to be paid pursuant to such award. This interest will be computed from the date payment would have been paid if not disputed by CystoMedix to the date paid and the arbitrators shall include provisions therefor in any award rendered. Following the resolution of such dispute by the arbitrators, Uroplasty shall submit a copy of the arbitrators’ award or decision to the Escrow Agent, which shall be entitled to rely upon such copy.

     Any claims as determined above in favor of Uroplasty first shall be resolved by cancellation of the Escrowed Shares (pro rata between shares contributed into escrow by CystoMedix and by Schmidt). If the Uroplasty Final Notice is given and is not disputed by CystoMedix, or if an arbitrators’ award on Uroplasty’s claim is granted, then the shares to be canceled shall be valued at the average of the high closing bid prices per share for the Uroplasty Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market (or such other exchange on which the Uroplasty Common Stock may be listed) for the ten (10) trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Uroplasty Final Notice (if not disputed by CystoMedix) or arbitrators’ award (if disputed by CystoMedix), as the case may be. If Uroplasty’s claim cannot be resolved with the number of shares of Uroplasty Common Stock remaining in escrow, then CystoMedix shall within ten (10) business days after written demand, pay the remaining claim amount to Uroplasty in cash.

     Despite the above provisions of this subsection (d), CystoMedix may resolve any claim by paying cash to Uroplasty. In such case, the shares of Uroplasty Common Stock that otherwise would have been released from escrow to Uroplasty for cancellation shall instead be released to CystoMedix, and Uroplasty shall join with CystoMedix in so instructing the Escrow Agent.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 7 to the contrary, no claim by Uroplasty under Section 7 may be enforced against CystoMedix unless Uroplasty gives CystoMedix written notice of such claim under Section 7.2(b) above within one (1) year from the Closing Date.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, no Escrow Shares shall be released by the Escrow Agent so long as Escrow Agent has received notice of an Indemnifiable claim which has not been resolved pursuant to this Section 7.2.

SECTION 8. POST-CLOSING OBLIGATIONS .

     8.1 Registration Rights.

     (a) Request for Registration. If after the Closing and final termination of the Escrow, CystoMedix gives Uroplasty written notice that its board and stockholders have authorized a dissolution of CystoMedix, and if Uroplasty is then eligible to use Form S-3 (or its then equivalent) as a registration statement with the SEC, Uroplasty will use its commercially

-20-


 

reasonable efforts to promptly file and obtain effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-3 (or its then equivalent) under the Act covering the resale of the Uroplasty shares to be distributed upon dissolution to CystoMedix’s stockholders.

     (b) Expenses of Registration . With respect to each inclusion of Shares in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 8.1, Uroplasty shall bear the following fees, costs and expenses: all registration, filing and NASD fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for Uroplasty and all legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions in which the securities to be offered are to be registered or qualified. Fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for CystoMedix and its stockholders, underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes for CystoMedix and its stockholders and any other expenses incurred by CystoMedix or its stockholders not expressly included above shall be borne by CystoMedix and its stockholders.

     (c) Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by Uroplasty pursuant to this Agreement, Uroplasty will keep CystoMedix advised in writing as to the initiation of such registration and as to the completion thereof. Uroplasty will:

     (i) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement and such amendments and supplements as may be necessary and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective until the distribution described in the registration statement has been completed or for two years, whichever first occurs; and

     (ii) Furnish to CystoMedix such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities.

     8.2 Registration Indemnification.

     (a) By Uroplasty. Uroplasty will indemnify CystoMedix, and CystoMedix’s officers and directors, and each person controlling such CystoMedix within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, and each selling stockholder with respect to which registration has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by Uroplasty of the Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to Uroplasty in connection with any such registration, and Uroplasty will reimburse each said persons for any

-21-


 

legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that Uroplasty will not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Uroplasty by or on behalf of any such persons and stated to be specifically for use therein or (ii) insofar as the claim, loss, damage, liability or expense relates to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the prospectus.

     (b) By CystoMedix and the Selling Stockholders. CystoMedix and the selling stockholders will indemnify Uroplasty, each of its directors and officers, other holders of Uroplasty’s securities covered by such registration statement, their officers and directors and each person controlling such other holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, each person who controls Uroplasty within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by CystoMedix or a selling stockholder, and each person controlling it or them within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to it, and will reimburse Uroplasty, such other holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, but in the case of Uroplasty or the other holders or their officers, directors or controlling persons, only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Uroplasty by or on behalf of CystoMedix or a selling stockholder.

     (c) Notice and Defense. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or there are separate and different defenses. No Indemnifying Party, in the

-22-


 

defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

     8.3 Information by CystoMedix and Selling Stockholders. CystoMedix and each selling stockholder shall furnish to Uroplasty such information regarding CystoMedix, the Shares held by it or them and the distribution proposed by CystoMedix as Uroplasty may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement.

     8.4 Termination of Registration Rights. Despite anything else to the contrary, the rights granted pursuant to Section 8 shall terminate upon the date CystoMedix or its stockholders are able to immediately sell all Shares held by it or them under Rule 144 during any 90-day period.

Dear _____:

     As you are aware, we have entered into an Exclusive Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with Uroplasty, Inc. Under this agreement, we have granted Uroplasty a five-year exclusive license to use our technology and patent rights to manufacture and sell our products in the United States and “CE-mark” countries (generally, Europe), or to sublicense others to do so. We have also granted Uroplasty an option and a right of first refusal to acquire our assets. In return, Uroplasty will pay us royalties. The agreement is attached for your review.

     As a condition of the agreement, Uroplasty requires that the holders of a majority of our outstanding Common Stock consent to the agreement, including its option and right of first refusal provisions. By your signature below, you hereby grant this consent. You also hereby appoint J. Stephen Schmidt as your attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) to vote all of your shares at any meeting of CystoMedix stockholders held at any time in favor of approving the agreement and the transactions contemplated by it, or to execute written consents on your behalf in lieu of any such meeting. Because of the benefit that CystoMedix, and therefore you as a stockholder, will receive in connection with the Uroplasty agreement, this proxy and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. If for any reason your proxy and power of attorney is not effective, your signature constitutes your separate agreement with Mr. Schmidt to vote all of your shares at any meeting of CystoMedix stockholders held at any time in favor of approving the agreement and the transactions contemplated by it.
