AGREEMENT

In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, each party to this Agreement agrees as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.1 Generally. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at Closing, SurModics will purchase from Sellers, and Sellers will sell to SurModics, all of the Shares. As of Closing, the Shares purchased from Sellers will constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of NorMedix.

ARTICLE 2

2.1 Purchase Price.

Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 1

2.2 Closing Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, SurModics will pay the Closing Payment on the Closing Date as follows:

(a) Payment of Indebtedness. Any Indebtedness of NorMedix that is outstanding at Closing, as set forth on Schedule 2.2(a), will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as have been designated by Sellers Agent in writing in order to satisfy such Indebtedness in accordance with the payoff letter or letters of direction delivered at Closing in a form reasonably satisfactory to SurModics.

(b) Transaction Expenses. Any Transaction Expenses will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as have been designated by Sellers Agent in writing in order to satisfy such obligations in accordance with letters of direction delivered at Closing in a form reasonably satisfactory to SurModics.

(c) Escrow. The aggregate sum of $350,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) will be deposited by wire transfer of immediately available funds with ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”), to be held in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) managed and paid out by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement by and among the Escrow Agent, SurModics, and Sellers Agent, dated as of the date of this Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”). Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement, and pursuant to the applicable provisions thereof, the Escrow Agent will establish the Escrow Account to hold the Escrow Amount in trust pursuant to the Escrow Agreement free and clear of any Liens or other claims of any creditor of any of the parties, which amount, plus any interest accrued thereon, will be payable to Sellers less any amounts paid or payable pursuant to claims asserted under SECTION 2.3(e) and ARTICLE 8, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(d) Cash. An amount equal to the Closing Payment, less the Escrow Amount, less the amount of Indebtedness paid under SECTION 2.2(a), and less the Transaction Expenses paid under SECTION 2.2(b), will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Sellers Agent on Schedule 2.2(d), for the benefit of Sellers.

2.3 Adjustment for Net Working Capital.

(a) Promptly after the Closing, SurModics will prepare an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of NorMedix as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with the methodology used to calculate Target Working Capital as set forth on Exhibit A.

(b) SurModics will prepare an adjustment certificate (the “Adjustment Certificate”) setting forth the calculation, in reasonable detail, of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date minus Target Working Capital (the “Net Working Capital Adjustment”). “Net Working Capital” means current assets of NorMedix as set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet, minus current liabilities of NorMedix as set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet.

(c) SurModics will deliver the Closing Balance Sheet, together with the Adjustment Certificate, to Sellers Agent within 60 days after the Closing Date.

(d) The Closing Balance Sheet and the Adjustment Certificate will be considered final and binding unless Sellers Agent objects in writing thereto within 30 days after delivery of the Adjustment Certificate. During such period, Sellers Agent and its appropriate


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 2

professional advisors shall, upon reasonable prior notice, have reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of NorMedix and the work papers and back-up materials of SurModics pertaining to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Adjustment Certificate. If Sellers Agent makes a timely objection to the Adjustment Certificate, Sellers Agent and SurModics shall use good faith efforts to settle such dispute and reach a written agreement with respect to such dispute. If Sellers Agent and SurModics are unable to enter into a settlement within 30 days after delivery of Seller Agent’s written objection under this SECTION 2.3(d), then the matters remaining in dispute will be submitted to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (or, if such firm declines to act, to another nationally recognized public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Sellers Agent and SurModics in writing and, if Sellers Agent and SurModics are unable to so agree within 10 days after the end of such 30-day period, the Sellers Agent and SurModics will each select such a firm and such firms will jointly select a third nationally recognized firm to resolve the disputed matters) (the “Accounting Firm”); provided that the Accounting Firm shall not at the time of selection be performing, or at any time during the three years preceding such selection have performed, services for SurModics, Sellers Agent, or NorMedix. Sellers Agent and SurModics will jointly instruct the Accounting Firm to resolve only the disputed matters as promptly as possible. Sellers Agent and SurModics will cooperate with the Accounting Firm and, subject to customary confidentiality and indemnity agreements, provide the Accounting Firm with access to such books, records, personnel and responsibilities of each of SurModics, Sellers Agent, and NorMedix as it shall reasonably request, and such other information as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to render its determination. The Accounting Firm will not assign a value to any item that is greater than the greater value for such item claimed by Sellers Agent or SurModics or less than the lesser value for such item claimed by Sellers Agent or SurModics. A decision by the Accounting Firm as to the resolution of such dispute shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Agreement (the “Adjustment Determination”). The Adjustment Determination shall be (i) in writing, (ii) made in accordance with the methodology used to calculate Target Working Capital as set forth on Exhibit A and (iii) nonappealable and incontestable by SurModics, Sellers Agent, and Sellers and not subject to collateral attack for any reason. The fees and costs of the Accounting Firm incurred in the resolution of any items in dispute shall be reasonably determined by the Accounting Firm and set forth in the Adjustment Determination, and shall be allocated between and paid by SurModics, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, in inverse proportion to the extent they prevailed on the items in dispute.

(e) If the amount of the Net Working Capital Adjustment is positive, then SurModics will pay the amount of the Net Working Capital Adjustment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Sellers Agent on Schedule 2.2(d) (as revised from time to time by Sellers Agent by giving notice to SurModics in accordance with SECTION 9.7), for the benefit of Sellers. If the amount of the Net Working Capital Adjustment is negative, then Sellers Agent and SurModics will direct the Escrow Agent to, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, pay to SurModics the amount of the Net Working Capital Adjustment. If the Net Working Capital Adjustment is greater than the then-remaining funds in the Escrow Account, then Sellers (on a pro rata basis calculated by multiplying each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage by the amount of such difference) will pay the amount of such difference to SurModics. Payments under this SECTION 2.3(e) will be made within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the amount thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

2.4 Contingent Consideration. In addition to the Closing Payment, and in further consideration for the Shares, Sellers shall have the right to receive payments of Contingent Consideration from SurModics, if any, as set forth on Schedule 2.4 (up to a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed $7,000,000).

(a) own, operate, invest in, lend money to, consult with, render services to, act as agent for, acquire or hold any interest in (i) any business of any nature that competes with any business owned or operated by NorMedix as of the Closing Date or (ii) any corporation, partnership, association or other entity of any nature that owns, operates or has an interest in any business described in the immediately preceding clause (i) (except that nothing herein will prohibit any Seller from owning not more than one percent of the outstanding shares of any class of stock of a corporation if such class of stock is regularly traded on a recognized national securities exchange);

(b) solicit, request, advise or induce any present or potential customer, supplier or other business contact of NorMedix to cancel, curtail or otherwise adversely change its relationship with NorMedix;

Except as otherwise approved in advance by SurModics in writing or as permitted by any contractual relationship between a Seller and NorMedix or any other legally enforceable right pursuant to which a Seller is permitted to use such information (subject, in each case, to any confidentiality obligations contained therein), no Seller will at any time use, divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone any Trade Secrets.

7.7 Tax Matters. The following provisions will govern the allocation of responsibility as between SurModics and Sellers for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a) Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of NorMedix for the Straddle Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which NorMedix holds a beneficial interest will be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of NorMedix for a Straddle Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(b) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Sellers Agent will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all income Tax Returns for NorMedix for the tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date that have not been filed prior thereto. Such Tax Returns will be prepared in accordance with the past practice of NorMedix (except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law). Sellers Agent will provide SurModics a copy of any such Tax Return 20 days before the due date of such Tax Return (as extended). Sellers Agent will make changes to such income Tax Returns that are reasonably requested by SurModics. With respect to any such post-Closing filings for which the Sellers Agent is responsible under this SECTION 7.7(b), SurModics will cause appropriate officers of NorMedix to sign and file such returns on behalf of NorMedix. SurModics will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns for NorMedix for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date and all Tax Returns of NorMedix for Straddle Periods. Except to the extent required by Applicable Law, such Tax Returns will be prepared on a basis consistent with the most recent Tax Returns of NorMedix. SurModics will provide a reasonable period of time (at least 10 days) for Sellers Agent to review and comment on each such Tax Return that it prepares pursuant to this SECTION 7.7(b) prior to filing and will make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers Agent. SurModics will not, and will not cause or permit NorMedix, to take any action or engage in any transaction outside of the Ordinary Course of Business on the Closing Date after the Closing Date with respect to Tax matters that would impact Tax Returns.

(i) SurModics and Sellers Agent will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this SECTION 7.7 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees reasonably available at no cost on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. SurModics agrees (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to NorMedix relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by NorMedix, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give Sellers Agent reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Sellers Agent so requests, SurModics will allow Sellers Agent to take possession of a copy of such books and records.

(ii) SurModics and Sellers Agent each further agrees, upon request, to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the Transactions).

(iii) SurModics and Sellers Agent each further agrees, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Code Section 6043 and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d) Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving NorMedix will be terminated by NorMedix as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, NorMedix will not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(e) Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the Transactions will be paid by Sellers when due, Sellers Agent will, at Sellers’ own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by Applicable Law, SurModics will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(f) Amended Tax Returns. Neither SurModics nor Sellers Agent will, nor will they cause or permit NorMedix to, file an amended Tax Return for NorMedix with respect to any Tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Tax period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the other party not to be unreasonably withheld. The parties agree to cooperate with respect to any amendments to such Tax Returns.


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 32

(g) Refunds. Any Tax refunds that are received by SurModics or NorMedix, and any amounts credited against Tax to which SurModics or NorMedix becomes entitled, that relate to a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date and that are not listed as an asset in the Net Working Capital (as adjusted under SECTION 2.3 of this Agreement) will be for the account of the Sellers, and SurModics will pay over to the Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit within 15 days after receipt or entitlement thereto, as applicable. In addition, to the extent that a claim for refund or a proceeding results in a payment or credit against Tax by a taxing authority to SurModics or NorMedix of any amount included as a liability in the Net Working Capital (as adjusted under SECTION 2.3 of this Agreement), SurModics will pay such amount to the Sellers Agent within 15 days after receipt or entitlement thereto, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the net operating losses of NorMedix will be for the benefit of SurModics and will not be carried back or otherwise produce a refund under this Section.

(g) Consolidated Income Tax Return. SurModics will include NorMedix in its Federal consolidated income Tax Return for Tax periods beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

(h) Expenses/Deductions. For purposes of preparing and filing Tax Returns, SurModics and the Sellers agree that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any deductions attributable to (i) the Transaction Expenses and transaction bonuses or other compensation paid by NorMedix on or before the Closing Date or by SurModics on the Closing Date, and (ii) any unpaid expenses of NorMedix, including any unpaid Transaction Expenses, transaction bonuses or other compensation included in Indebtedness or otherwise accrued or accruable as of the Closing Date shall be deducted on the Tax Return of NorMedix for its Tax period ending on the day before the Closing Date.

(i) SurModics agrees that it will not make an election permitted under Section 338 of the Code on or after the Closing Date.

7.8 ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. With respect to each of the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, each of such Sellers will continue to give full and adequate instructions to the custodian of such Seller’s ▇▇▇ Account as required by the agreements establishing such Seller’s ▇▇▇ Account to instruct the custodian to fulfill such Seller’s continuing obligations under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE 8

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the other terms of this ARTICLE 8, for the period commencing at the Closing and ending upon the expiration of the applicable periods set forth in SECTION 8.4:

(a) Sellers will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless SurModics from and against any and all Loss incurred or otherwise received or sustained by SurModics or any of SurModics’ Affiliates or any of SurModics’ or such Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, partners, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assignees (collectively with SurModics, “SurModics Indemnitees”), in each case to the extent directly or indirectly related to or arising out of any:

(i) breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers herein (other than under ARTICLE 3), including any inaccuracy in any related Schedule;


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 33

(ii) breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement of or to be performed by NorMedix pursuant hereto;

(v) to the extent not paid under SECTION 2.2(b), any Transaction Expenses;

(b) Each Seller, severally and not jointly, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless from and against any and all Loss incurred or otherwise sustained by the SurModics Indemnitees, to the extent directly or indirectly related to or arising out of

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty in ARTICLE 3 by that Seller;

(ii) breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement of or to be performed by that Seller; or

(iii) fraud, intentional misrepresentations or willful breach by that Seller.

8.2 Indemnification by SurModics. Subject to the other terms of this ARTICLE 8, for the period commencing at the Closing and ending upon the expiration of the applicable periods set forth in SECTION 8.4, SurModics will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller and any of Sellers’ Affiliates and any of Sellers’ or such Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, partners, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assignees (collectively with Sellers, “Sellers Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Loss incurred or otherwise received or sustained by Sellers’ Indemnitees, in each case to the extent directly or indirectly related to or arising out of any:

(a) breach of any representation or warranty made by SurModics herein;


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 34

(b) breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement of or to be performed by SurModics pursuant hereto;

(d) Legal Action incident to any of the foregoing.

8.3 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding any other term herein, the following will apply:

(a) Sellers’ Deductible. Sellers will not have any obligation under SECTION 8.1(a)(i), other than regarding any breach of any Special Representation (as to which no deductible will apply), unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnification for which Sellers are obligated thereunder exceeds $25,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only with respect to such excess.

(b) Sellers’ Cap. Sellers’ aggregate obligation under SECTION 8.1(a)(i), other than regarding any breach of any Special Representation (as to which no limitation or cap will apply) will not exceed an amount equal to $1,500,000 (the “Cap”). Further, no Seller will have any liability under ARTICLE 8 of this Agreement to indemnify a SurModics Indemnitee, and no SurModics Indemnitee can make a claim against any Seller to indemnify such Person for any amount in excess of that Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of any Loss arising under Section 8.1(a) giving rise to such claim, except for indemnification claims based on the fraud of such Seller (provided that a SurModics Indemnitee may recover the full amount of any Loss against the Escrow Account and by offset against any Contingent Consideration in accordance with Section 8.3(f)). In addition, no Seller will have any liability under ARTICLE 8 of this Agreement to indemnify a SurModics Indemnitee, and no SurModics Indemnitee can make a claim against any Seller to indemnify such Person for any amount in excess of Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Purchase Price, except for indemnification claims based on the fraud of such Seller (provided that a SurModics Indemnitee may recover the full amount of any Loss against the Escrow Account and by offset against any Contingent Consideration in accordance with Section 8.3(f)).

(c) SurModics’ Deductible. SurModics will not have any obligation under SECTION 8.2(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnification for which SurModics is obligated thereunder exceeds the Deductible, and then only with respect to such excess.

(d) SurModics’ Cap. SurModics’ obligation under SECTION 8.2(a), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to the Cap.

(e) Offset. Any of the SurModics Indemnitees may offset any amounts to which they reasonably believe they are entitled under the terms of this Agreement against Contingent Consideration payable by them under SECTION 2.4. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise, such right of offset will constitute an election of remedies or limit any SurModics Indemnitee in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it under this Agreement.

(f) Order of Priority with Respect to Satisfaction of Sellers’ Indemnification Obligations. Subject to SECTION 8.3(e), any indemnification of the SurModics Indemnitees under this ARTICLE 8 will first be satisfied by payment from the Escrow Account until the Escrow Account is exhausted or released. If the amounts then-remaining in the Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy any indemnification claim by any SurModics Indemnitee


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 35

pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, then, subject to the other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 8, the SurModics Indemnitees may recover the amount of such Losses by offset against any Contingent Consideration then due and owing, and if no such Contingent Consideration is then due and owing, then directly from the Sellers (subject to the other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 8).

(g) Treatment of Insurance and Tax Benefits. With respect to each indemnification claim, the Indemnified Party (including NorMedix with respect to claims made by SurModics Indemnitees after the Closing Date) shall use reasonable commercial efforts to assert and pursue all claims under all applicable insurance policies, and any Loss that may be recovered by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss shall be net of any insurance proceeds received with respect thereto. To the extent that insurance proceeds are collected after a Loss has been settled (including by NorMedix with respect to claims made by SurModics Indemnitees after the Closing Date), the Indemnified Party shall restore the Indemnifying Party to the same economic position as would have existed had such insurance proceeds been collected prior to the settlement of such Loss. In addition, the Losses that may be recovered by an Indemnified Party shall be net of any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party (including by NorMedix with respect to claims made by SurModics Indemnitees after the Closing Date) as a result of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the liability of the Indemnifying Party.

(h) Right of Subrogation. If any Loss for which an Indemnifying Party is responsible or allegedly responsible under this ARTICLE 8 is recoverable or reasonably likely to be recoverable against any third party at the time that payment is due hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall assign any and all rights that it may have to recover such Loss to the Indemnifying Party or, if such rights are not assignable for any reason, the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to collect any and all such Loss on account thereof from such third party for the benefit of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all Losses paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement (net of reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party to recover such amount) to the extent such amount is subsequently paid to the Indemnified Party by any Person other than the Indemnifying Party.

(i) Duty to Mitigate. SurModics shall take and shall cause its Affiliates (including NorMedix) to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event which would give rise thereto.

(k) Disclaimer of Certain Damages. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Person shall be liable to any other Person for any exemplary or punitive damages of such other Person relating to the breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement and the agreements and documents executed in connection herewith.

8.4 Certain Survival Periods.

(a) Representations and Warranties. Each representation and warranty contained herein (and in any related schedule) will survive the Closing and will remain in full force and effect for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date, except that each Special Representation (and related Schedule) will survive until all Liabilities hereunder relating thereto


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 36

are barred by all applicable statutes of limitation. “Special Representation” means any representation or warranty in ARTICLE 3 or in SECTIONS 4.1 (Organization, Qualification and Power), 4.2 (Capitalization), 4.3 (Subsidiaries), 4.5 (Broker’s Fees), 4.12 (Tax Matters), 5.1 (Organization of SurModics), 5.2 (Authorization of Transaction) or 5.4 (Broker’s Fees) hereof, or any representation or warranty fraudulently made or otherwise made with the intent to deceive or otherwise mislead (and, in each case, any related schedule).

(b) Survival Until Final Determination. For each claim for indemnification under this Agreement regarding a breach of a representation or warranty (or related Schedule) that is made prior to expiration of the survival period for such representation or warranty (as set forth in SECTION 8.4(a)), such claim and associated right to indemnification will not terminate before final determination and satisfaction of such claim.

(c) Survival of Other Terms. Except as provided in the preceding terms of this SECTION 8.4 regarding representations and warranties, each covenant or agreement contained herein, and all associated rights under this ARTICLE 8, will survive Closing and will continue in full force thereafter, subject to any limitation stated by their respective terms.

8.5 Claim Procedure.

(a) A party that seeks indemnity under this ARTICLE 8 (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) containing (i) a description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party and (iii) a demand for payment of those Losses.

(b) Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party will either:

(i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice; or

(ii) dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification by delivering to the Indemnified Party a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item and the basis for each such disputed item.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to take either of the foregoing actions within 30 days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to pay the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Objection Notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with the provisions of SECTION 9.13.

(e) If any SurModics Indemnitee is the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, the parties will contemporaneously deliver to the Escrow Agent copies of each Claim Notice and Objection Notice in connection with such claim.

(f) Any indemnification payment under this ARTICLE 8 will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnifying Party to an account designated by the Indemnified Party. Such indemnification payments will be made within five Business Days after the date on which (i) the amount of such payments are determined by mutual agreement of the parties, (ii) the amount of such payments are determined pursuant to SECTION 8.5(c) if an Objection Notice has not been timely delivered in accordance with SECTION 8.5(b) or (iii) both such amount and the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to pay such amount have been finally determined by a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction over such proceeding as permitted by SECTION 9.13 if an Objection Notice has been timely delivered in accordance with SECTION 8.5(b).


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 37

8.6 Third Party Claims.

(a) If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnity under this ARTICLE 8 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand, whether or not involving a Legal Action, by another Person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will include in the Claim Notice (i) notice of the commencement or threat of any Legal Action relating to such Third Party Claim within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has received written notice of the commencement of the Third Party Claim and (ii) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the damages claimed by the other Person, in each case to the extent known to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability or obligation under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual Losses directly caused by the delay or other deficiency.

(b) Within 30 days after the Indemnified Party’s delivery of a Claim Notice under this SECTION 8.6 (or within the shorter period, if any, during which a defense must be commenced for the preservation of rights), the Indemnifying Party may assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim by giving to the Indemnified Party written notice of the intention to assume such defense, but if and only if the Indemnifying Party retains counsel for the defense of the Third Party Claim reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. However, if a Seller is the Indemnifying Party, in no event may the Indemnifying Party assume, maintain control of, or participate in, the defense of any Third Party Claim (i) involving criminal liability, (ii) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Indemnified Party or (iii) in which the outcome of any judgment or settlement in the matter could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s Tax Liability or the ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its business (collectively, clauses (i) – (iii), the “Special Claims”). An Indemnifying Party will lose any previously acquired right to control the defense of any Third Party Claim if for any reason the Indemnifying Party ceases to actively, competently and diligently conduct the defense.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not able to, assume or maintain control of the defense of a Third Party Claim in compliance with SECTION 8.6(b), the


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 38

Indemnified Party will have the right to control the defense of the Third Party Claim. To the extent that the Third Party Claim does not constitute a Special Claim, the party not controlling the defense (the “Noncontrolling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense. However, if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense as permitted above and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to the Third Party Claim, then the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party will be considered and included as “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling the defense (the “Controlling Party”) will reasonably advise the Noncontrolling Party of the status of the Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and, with respect to any Third Party Claim that does not relate to a Special Claim, the Controlling Party will consider in good faith recommendations made by the Noncontrolling Party. The Noncontrolling Party will furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim and related Legal Actions (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and will otherwise cooperate with and assist in the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(d) Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party will agree to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent the other party will not unreasonably withhold or delay. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party will have any Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim effected without its consent.

8.7 Effect of Purchase Price Adjustment; No Duplication of Recovery. Any Loss that would otherwise entitle a Party to indemnification hereunder will be offset to the extent (but only to the extent) such Loss is (i) reflected as a Liability on the Closing Balance Sheet or (ii) deducted from the Closing Payment as a result of being deemed to be Indebtedness or a Transaction Expense or otherwise, such that Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify any SurModics Indemnitees from and against any Loss as a result of, or based upon or arising from, any claim or Liability to the extent the same is taken into account as a Liability in determining the Net Working Capital Adjustment or the Closing Payment. No SurModics Indemnitee or Sellers Indemnitee may recover duplicative Losses in respect of a single set of facts or circumstances, taking into account for these purposes the amounts collected by all SurModics Indemnitees or Sellers Indemnitees, as applicable, under or in connection with this Agreement.

8.8 Specific Performance. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that each other party would be damaged irreparably in the event any term of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a party will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled, at law or in equity. In particular, each party acknowledges that the business of NorMedix is unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event any Seller breaches SECTIONS 7.4, 7.5 or 7.6 of this Agreement, money damages may be inadequate and SurModics would have no adequate remedy at law, so that SurModics will have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to seek enforcement of its rights and each other party’s obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief.


Stock Purchase Agreement				Page 39

8.9 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of each party and any Person’s rights to indemnification with respect thereto shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Person (including by any of his, her or its advisors, consultants or representatives) or by reason of the fact that such Person or any of such advisors, consultants or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

8.10 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other term herein, except with respect to claims (a) for equitable relief, (b) for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or willful breach, or (c) relating to the Net Working Capital Adjustment that are resolved under SECTION 2.3, the terms in this ARTICLE 8 set forth the sole and exclusive remedies for the matters in this Agreement, including for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.
