CONSULTING AGREEMENT

Effective February 24, 2010 (“Effective Date”), Peter Osborne, an individual with mailing address of 4960 Almaden Expy., #232, San Jose CA 95118 (“Consultant”) and Hansen Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business at 800 E. Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA 94043 (“Company”) agree as follows:

1. Services and Payment. Consultant agrees to undertake and complete the Services, and abide by the terms, set forth in Exhibit A in accordance with and on the schedule specified in Exhibit A. As the only consideration due Consultant regarding the subject matter of this agreement (“Agreement”), Company will pay Consultant in accordance with Exhibit A.

2. Ownership Rights; Proprietary Information; Publicity.

a. Company shall own all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, trademark rights and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designations, designs, know-how, ideas and information made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Consultant during the term of this Agreement that relate to the subject matter of, or arise out of, the Services or any Proprietary Information (as defined below) (collectively, “Inventions”) and Consultant will promptly disclose and provide all Inventions to Company. Consultant hereby makes all assignments necessary to accomplish the foregoing ownership. Consultant shall further assist Company, at Company’s expense, to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights assigned. Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company as its agents and attorneys-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to act for and on Consultant’s behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant.

b. Consultant agrees that all Inventions and all other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) Consultant develops, learns or obtains in connection with Services or that are received by or for Company in confidence, constitute “Proprietary Information.” Consultant will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except in performing the Services, use any Proprietary Information. However, Consultant shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect to information Consultant can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of Consultant. Upon termination and as otherwise requested by Company, Consultant will promptly return to Company all items and copies containing or embodying Proprietary Information, except that Consultant may keep its personal copies of its compensation records and this Agreement. Consultant also recognizes and agrees that Consultant has no expectation of privacy with respect to Company’s telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, stored computer files, email messages and voice messages) and that Consultant’s activity, and any files or messages, on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice.

c. As additional protection for Proprietary Information, Consultant agrees that during the period that it is to be providing Services (i) and for one year thereafter, Consultant will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of Company to leave Company for any reason and (ii) Consultant will not engage in any activity that is competitive with the business, and Consultant will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, Consultant may perform services for other persons only if such services do not represent a conflict of interest or a breach of Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement or otherwise.

d. To the extent allowed by law, Section 2.a and any license to Company hereunder includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like. To the extent any of the foregoing is ineffective under applicable law, Consultant hereby provides any and all ratifications and consents necessary to accomplish the purposes of the foregoing to the extent possible. Consultant will confirm any such ratifications and consents from time to time as requested by Company. If any other person provides any Services, Consultant will obtain the foregoing ratifications, consents and authorizations from such person for Company’s exclusive benefit.

e. If any part of the Services or Inventions is based on, incorporates, or is an improvement or derivative of, or cannot be reasonably and fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating technology or intellectual property rights owned or licensed by Consultant and not assigned hereunder, Consultant hereby grants Company and its successors a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such technology and intellectual property rights in support of Company’s exercise or exploitation of the Services, Inventions, other work performed hereunder, or any assigned rights (including any modifications, improvements and derivatives of any of them).

3. Warranty. Consultant warrants that: (i) the Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner and that none of such Services nor any part of this Agreement is or will be inconsistent with any obligation Consultant may have to others; (ii) all work under this Agreement shall be Consultant’s original work and none of the Services or Inventions or any development, use, production, distribution or exploitation thereof will infringe, misappropriate or violate any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity (including, without limitation, Consultant); and, (iii) Consultant has the full right to allow it to provide the Company with the assignments and rights provided for herein.

4. Former or Conflicting Obligations. Consultant represents and warrants to the Company that Consultant will not disclose to the Company, or use, or induce the Company to use, any proprietary information or trade secrets of others. Consultant represents that Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement will not breach any agreement not to compete with others or any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by Consultant in confidence or in trust prior to the effective date of this Agreement. Consultant certifies that Consultant has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or that would preclude Consultant from complying with the provisions hereof.

5. Termination.

a. Either party may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Company shall pay Consultant all unpaid, undisputed amounts due for the Services completed prior to such termination within ten (10) business days of the date of termination.

b. Sections 2 (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.c) through 9 of this Agreement and any remedies for breach of this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration. Company may communicate such obligations to any other (or potential) client or employer of Consultant.

6. Independent Contractor; No Employee Benefits. Consultant under this Agreement is an independent contractor (not an employee or other agent) solely responsible for the manner and hours in which Services are performed, is solely responsible for all taxes, withholdings, and other statutory, regulatory or contractual obligations of any sort (including, but not limited to, those relating to workers’ compensation, disability insurance, Social Security, unemployment compensation coverage, the Fair Labor Standards Act, income taxes, etc.), and is not entitled to any to participate in any employee benefit plans, fringe benefit programs, group insurance arrangements or similar programs. Consultant agrees to indemnify Company from any and all claims, damages, liability, settlement, attorneys’ fees and expenses, as incurred, on account of the foregoing or any breach of this Agreement.

7. Assignment. This Agreement and the services contemplated hereunder are personal to Consultant and Consultant shall not have the right or ability to assign, transfer, or subcontract any obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of Company. Any attempt to do so shall be void. Company may assign its rights and obligations under this agreement in whole or part.

8. Notice. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed given when personally delivered, or three days after being sent by prepaid certified or registered U.S. mail to the address of the party to be noticed as set forth herein or such other address as such party last provided to the other by written notice, or if sent by email, but only upon receipt of the email being acknowledged by the recipient.

9. Miscellaneous. Any breach of Section 2 or 3 will cause irreparable harm to Company for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore, Company will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights. No changes or modifications or waivers to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys fees. Headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect interpretation of the Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

 

1. Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and other executives that the CEO may designate from time to time.

 

2. Payment of $35,000 per month, payable bi-monthly in arrears, with partial months prorated based on the number of days of service.

 

3. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, Consultant will be granted a restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive 10,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The award will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to restricted stock unit awards granted under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as described in that Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. 50% of the units subject to the restricted stock unit award will vest upon completion of three months of continuous service, and the remaining 50% of the units subject to the restricted stock unit award will vest upon completion of six months of continuous service, as described in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. In addition, if the Company terminates this Agreement prior to full vesting of the restricted stock unit award for any reason other than Consultant’s material breach of this Agreement, Consultant will become vested in a number of units subject to the restricted stock unit agreement as though the award had been vesting on a monthly (rather than quarterly) basis.
