Limited Warranty

Warranty

THERMO warrants to the original purchaser that the unit will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of shipment. THERMO also warrants that spare parts will be free from defects in material workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days, or the maximum time required by applicable local law, from the date of shipment of the spare part. Equipment failure due to reasons other than manufacturing defects such as accident, misuse or failure to timely perform scheduled maintenance in accordance with the maintenance schedule included with the operating instructions for the unit is excluded from Warranty coverage. This Warranty covers the cost of parts, labor, travel and shipping needed to make Warranty repairs or replacement(s). THERMO reserves the right to replace any malfunctioning unit or part with a new or refurbished unit in lieu of repairing such unit. This Warranty and THERMO’s obligation to repair or replace defective parts is the sole and exclusive remedy of purchaser. Under no circumstances shall THERMO be liable for consequential or economic damages that might arise from a defective part.

THERMO warranties, as set forth herein, are exclusive and are in lieu of, and purchaser hereby waives, all other warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose or warranty of non-infringement.

Procedure

If Warranty repairs are needed, contact the vendor or distributor from which you purchased your THERMO product(s), or if you purchased directly from THERMO or are unable to locate the appropriate vendor/distributor, contact THERMO directly at THERMOGENESIS CORP., 2711 Citrus Road, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742, Telephone: (916) 858-5100 or (800) 783-8357 in the U.S.; Fax: (916) 858-5199. For emergency repairs at night or on weekends or holidays, contact your THERMO Authorized Service Provider (“Service Provider”) directly and notify THERMO on the next business day. Failure to notify THERMO on the next business day after a request for emergency repairs may result in denial of coverage for that service call. When calling for service have available: (1) detailed information about the problem; (2) the serial number of the unit; (3) the service record for the unit; (4) the date and place of purchase of the unit.

Limitations. Equipment or spare part malfunctions other than those caused by defects in materials or workmanship, including malfunctions caused by misuse, accident or failure to perform scheduled maintenance, are excluded from coverage. Any alterations or modifications made to the unit (other than modifications or alterations made by THERMO) render the warranty null and void. THERMO will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental damages resulting from equipment malfunction or loss of use of the equipment. THERMO may authorize independent contractors to perform service. Service providers are independent contractors, not THERMO employees; consequently, THERMO is not responsible for the acts or omissions of the service providers, including without limitation, failure by a service provider to respond to calls for emergency service in a timely fashion.

Background of Arthrex

Reinhold Schmieding started the company in Germany in 1981. The company remains privately held and is being run by Reinhold. Its main headquarters today is located in Naples, FL. They market over 5,000 medical devices and implants for minimally invasive surgery (arthroscopic) as well as offer medical education to over 10,000 surgeons annually. As of January 2011 they have over 1000 employees and as of May 2011 reached over $1 billion in annual revenue. With a 3 year annual growth rate of ~20-25%.

They are planning on building a [*] sq.ft. manufacturing and product development facility near Ave Maria in Collier County FL. [*]% of the manufacturing of Arthrex products is done in the US.

1.3

Description of Market

[*]

1.4

Description of Product

ThermoGenesis has been engaged by Arthrex to develop a proprietary disposable device that will provide a cell concentrate from 60 mL of Bone Marrow Aspirate meeting specific criteria [*]. This disposable device will be based on the principle of operation of the Res-Q 60 BMC disposable device. This component will be used in the same manner as the Res-Q 60 BMC System.

This system will consists of various components such as: a BMC processing kit, centrifuge, counterweight and processing tray. ThermoGenesis is responsible for developing this disposable device and providing it, along with other components of the system (except for the centrifuge) in bulk to Arthrex who will be doing final packaging and validation testing of the system. This document will capture the performance requirements of the disposable device.

ThermoGenesis will be responsible for the FDA clearance of the ArthroGenesis BMC System. ThermoGenesis will be working closely with Arthrex to ensure that appropriate testing and reports required for the 510k submission are executed.

1.5

Intended use

The ArthroGenesis BMC disposable device is intended to be used in the clinical laboratory or intraoperatively at point-of-care for the safe and rapid preparation of platelet poor plasma and platelet concentrate from a small sample of blood and for preparation of a cell concentrate from bone marrow.

1.6

Commercialization

This product would be an additional product in Arthrex’s portfolio of products. [*]

This is an OEM product for the sole use of Arthrex.

The ArthroGenesis BMC Processing Kit will have an Arthrex ASP of $[*] to the customer.

The initial forecasted volumes of the ArthroGenesis BMC disposable device will be reflected in the contract.

The following is a high level 5 year forecast: [*]

The ArthroGenesis BMC System would have to be registered by Arthrex in the following countries: [*]
