WHEREAS,
given
the fact that HT Prostate wishes to focus its efforts on obtaining the PMA

the
Parties wish to amend the terms and conditions of Warrants D, Warrants E and
Warrants F as follows:
Article
1
HT
Prostate, as sole holder of all Warrants E and Warrants F, hereby definitively
and irrevocably waives any and all rights that it may have to exercise, now
or
in the future, the Category E Warrants and Category F Warrants that were issued
to it, and consequently hereby acknowledges and agrees that all Category E
and
Category F Warrants are thus null and void, which shall be acknowledged by
EDAP
TMS.
Article
2
The
EDAP
Parties hereby acknowledge HT Prostate’s definitive and irrevocable waiver of
all rights to exercise the Category E and Category F Warrants, and that EDAP
TMS
will thus declare and acknowledge that such Warrants have become null and
void.
Article
3
HT
Prostate, as sole holder of all Category D Warrants, and the EDAP Parties agree
to amend the conditions upon which Category D Warrants may be exercised as
follows:
“Warrants

or
its subsidiaries at least two (2) lithotripters, and (ii) places an irrevocable
order to EDAP TMS or its subsidiaries for the purchase of one (1) Ablatherm

agrees and undertakes to reiterate its decisions contained in Articles 1 to
3

the request of EDAP TMS, as may be appropriate in light of French corporate
law
requirements and other relevant formalities.
Article

As
a result of the foregoing provisions, and subject to the
decision by the board of directors of EDAP TMS to adopt the amendment
set
forth in Article 3 above, the
Parties hereby agree to amend the Distribution Agreement as follows,
which
amendment shall become effective upon adoption of the amendment referred
to in Article 3 above:

minutes of the Board of Directors relating thereto will be attached as a new
Exhibit E to the Distribution Agreement.

waived any and all rights it may have under the 100,000 Category E Warrants
and
the 100,000 Category F Warrants that it holds, which have become null and void
and may no longer be exercised, as is also reflected in a resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Parent Corporation set forth in Exhibit
E.”

as amended in Article 5.1 above, all of the provisions of the Distribution
