        (Inclusive of UST fees payable per 28 U.S.C.
        § 1930; and fee claims of estate professionals, the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee and the Ad Hoc Committee, net of
        retainers; provided, however, that all requested professional fees and expenses incurred from the Petition Date through
        and including the Effective Date must be approved by the Court prior to disbursement on account of any such Claim.)

         
	
        Generally: Allowed Administrative
        Expense Claims: Except to the extent the holder agrees to other, lesser treatment, each holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim
        shall be paid cash in respect of such Claim equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Expense Claim. The Allowed
        Administrative Expense Claim shall be payable within the later of: (i) ten (10) days after the Effective Date, or (ii) ten (10)

        the holder agrees to other, lesser treatment, all professionals or other entities requesting compensation or reimbursement of expenses

        portion of such Allowed Professional Fee and Expense Claim approved by the Court, limited to a cash amount as set forth
        in the Budget attached to the Final Order approving the DIP Loan Agreement; provided, however, that a Professional may seek payment
        above its budgeted amount if there are other non-Lender designated professional fee amounts available in the Budget

        rate of $425 per hour and the remaining portion of such fee award paid in common stock of the Reorganized Debtor.

                                         which amount shall be available, along with proceeds of the DIP Loan Agreement (consistent
                                         with the Budget), to pay all amounts owing by the Debtor under the Plan (with up to $3,000,000
                                         of such $10,500,000 allowable in the form of backstop irrevocable capital call commitments
                                         from creditworthy obligors in the reasonable judgment of the Lenders), through a private
                                         placement of common stock of the Reorganized Debtor (the “Successful Capital
                                         Raise”).  Existing holders of common stock of the Debtor that are
                                         accredited investors shall have the opportunity, at the sole and absolute discretion
                                         of the Debtor, to participate in the 



 




    	 	5	 



     


    

 


	 	
        private placement. Binding commitments
        for a Successful Capital Raise must be received on or before the date that is five (5) days before the confirmation hearing and
        such commitments shall be fully funded (or secured in the case of a backstop commitment) no later than the Effective Date. If the
        Successful Capital Raise has been completed, existing holders of common stock in the Debtor will receive a percentage of the Reorganized
        Debtor’s common stock under the Plan on account of their existing common stock equity interests which percentage shall be
        set forth in the Disclosure Statement.

         

        Scenario B: If the Successful Capital
        Raise is not timely committed to and fully funded (i.e., the entire $10,500,000 funding including up to $3 million of backstop
        irrevocable capital call commitments) (an “Unsuccessful Capital Raise”), Lenders will receive 95% of the common
        equity of the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date in exchange for a portion of their Allowed Secured Claims and existing equity
        holders will own 5% of the common equity interests in the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date.

         

        Equity Interests are impaired. The distribution
        or retention of the common equity interests in the Reorganized Debtor to or by holders of Allowed Equity Interests shall be in
        full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for such Equity Interests.

         

	
        Allowed Secured Class 4 Claims of
        Lenders:

        (Approximately $38.3 million.)
	
        Lenders shall have an allowed secured claim
        in the full amount of their pre-petition indebtedness. In full satisfaction of the Lenders secured claims under their prepetition
        facility and their secured administrative expenses under the DIP Loan Agreement (“Lenders’ Secured Claims”),
        Lenders will receive the following:

         

        In all events, whether under Scenario A
        or Scenario B below, on the Effective Date, and in exchange for $15 million of Lenders’ Secured Claims, Lenders will receive
        an assignment of all of Debtor’s rights, title and interest in the existing license agreement with Arthrex, Inc., all associated
        intellectual property owned by Debtor and licensed thereunder and all royalty and payment rights thereunder. The Debtor will enter
        into a transition services agreement with the Lenders as they may reasonably require in respect thereof.

         

        Scenario A (Successful Capital Raise):
        On the Effective Date, in exchange for the balance of Lenders’ Secured Claim, which shall include the amount funded by Lenders
        for the payment of Gordian, Lenders will receive non-convertible, no dividend, preferred equity interests in the Reorganized Debtor
        in the amount of such balance (estimated to be approximately $29.3 million), which shall



 




    	 	6	 



     


    

 


	 	
        have a liquidation preference senior to
        all other equity interests and such other customary terms acceptable to the Debtor and Lenders (the “Preferred Equity”),
        and Lenders shall receive no common stock or other equity interest.

         

        Scenario B (Unsuccessful Capital Raise):
        On the Effective Date, in exchange for such balance, the Lenders will receive an amount of common stock of the Reorganized Debtor
        such that Lenders will own 95% of the total common equity of the Reorganized Debtor and existing equity holders will receive or
        retain 5% of the common equity of the Reorganized Debtor.

         

        The distributions to the holders of the
        Allowed Lenders’ Secured Claims shall be in full satisfaction, settlement release and discharge of, and in exchange for such
        Allowed Lenders’ Secured Claims.

         

	
        Class 5 - Other Allowed Secured Claims:

        (Approximately $_______)
	
        Claims of creditors holding perfected and
        unavoidable first priority liens on specific items of collateral by virtue of a purchase money security interest or financing lease
        will, in full and final satisfaction of such allowed Other Secured Claim be treated in a manner to leave them unimpaired under
        section 1124 of the Code.

         

	
        Class 6 – Other Equity Interests:

         
	
        Class 6 consists of all ownership interests
        in the Debtor, except for Allowed Class 3 Common Stock Equity Interests, evidenced by any share certificate or other instrument,
        whether or not transferable or denominated "stock" (including, without limitation, interests denominated as common stock
        or preferred stock), or similar security, and any warrant or right (including a right to convert) to purchase or subscribe to any
        such ownership interest. Class 6 includes all Allowed Claims arising under section 510(b) of the Code, all Allowed Claims arising
        from the rejection of agreements granting such Class 6 Other Equity Interests (to the extent, if any, that they constitute executory
        contracts), and any Allowed Claims based on indemnification rights.

         

        Holders of Allowed Class 6 Other Equity
        Interests shall receive or retain no property or distributions on account of such Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests. The
        Debtor is not soliciting the votes of Class 6 and shall seek confirmation of the Plan with respect to Class 6 under Code section
        1129(b).
