               non-renewal or termination shall not operate to discharge or
               release either party of obligations assumed by it prior to such
               non-renewal or termination.

           D.  Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages or
               otherwise by reason of the termination of this Agreement as
               provided in this Section 8. The parties agree that, subject to
               the provisions of this Agreement that are by their nature
               continuing, and without prejudice to any other remedies at law or
               in equity that either party may have in respect of any breach of
               this Agreement, neither party shall be entitled to or claim that
               it is entitled to any compensation or like payment as a result of
               or arising out of any termination in accordance with this Section
               8, whether claimed as loss of goodwill, foregone profits, lost
               investments, or otherwise.

           E.  If Distributor has exercised the license granted to it in Section
               9.01 prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
               then such license shall continue, and Distributor shall continue
               to have the right to market, promote and distribute the Products,
               for such time period as is necessary in order for Distributor to
               fulfill binding agreements with customers entered into prior to
               the effective date of expiration or termination of this
               Agreement.
<PAGE>

           F.  Upon expiration of this Agreement, or termination of this
               Agreement for any reason, Manufacturer shall have the option, at
               its sole discretion, to purchase back from Distributor, and by
               doing so require Distributor to sell to Manufacturer, any unsold
               inventory of the Products in Distributor's possession or control
               that Distributor purchased from Manufacturer, provided that such
               Products are unopened and in saleable condition and the
               expiration date of sterility of such Products is at least ninety
               (90) days beyond the effective termination date of this
               Agreement. The price to be paid by Manufacturer for the purchase
               of such inventory shall be the purchase price actually paid by
               Distributor for the Products, increased by the cost for the
               transportation of the Products. In the event that Manufacturer
               does not repurchase all unsold inventory of the Products as
               specified above, Distributor shall be permitted to sell said
               unpurchased inventory for a period of one year following the
               termination or expiration of the Agreement pursuant to any terms
               deemed appropriate by Distributor.

     8.04  Bankruptcy.  THE PARTIES INTEND FOR THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
     RIGHTS GRANTED HEREIN TO COME WITHIN SECTION 365(n) OF THE U.S. BANKRUPTCY
     CODE AND, NOTWITHSTANDING THE BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY OF MANUFACTURER,
     THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS GRANTED HEREIN SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND
     EFFECT SO LONG AS DISTRIBUTOR IS IN MATERIAL COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS AND
     CONDITIONS HEREOF.

9.   MANUFACTURING LICENSE.

     9.01 Grant of License. Manufacturer hereby grants to Distributor a non-
     exclusive, perpetual license, with a right of sublicense, to all
     intellectual property rights anywhere in the territory (including, without
     limitation, all rights in and to all patents, present and future
     copyrights, moral and publicity rights, mask works, trade secrets, know-how
     and confidential business information), in and to the Products and all
     tangible materials that are necessary or helpful in the manufacture of the
     Products, including, without limitation, all manuals and other materials
     that describe the manufacturing processes and procedures for the Products,
     all designs, drawings, sketches, data, computer programs, test results, and
     information or items of a like nature (collectively, the "Manufacturing
     Materials"), so that Distributor or its designee may manufacture, use,
     import, offer for sale, sell the Products (including all improvements,
     additions or new versions thereof) in the Territory if any of the following
     events occur:

           A.  (1) the entry of an order for relief in a proceeding in
               bankruptcy (other than Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code,
               as the same may be amended) in which Manufacturer is the named
               debtor; (2) Manufacturer's making of an assignment for the
               benefit of Manufacturer's creditors, (3) the appointment of a
               receiver for Manufacturer; (4) the filing of (i) any bankruptcy
               proceeding
<PAGE>

               against Manufacturer, other than Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the
               U.S. Code, or (ii) any proceeding for an assignment for the
               benefit of Manufacturer's creditors, or (iii) any proceeding for
               appointment of a receiver or custodian of the assets and property
               of Manufacturer, which proceeding shall be consented to or
               acquiesced to by Manufacturer or has not been discharged or
               terminated within ninety (90) days; or (iv) the rejection by
               Manufacturer or any trustee of Manufacturer of this Agreement
               pursuant to 11 U.S.C. (S)365; or (v) following the filing of a
               proceeding under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
               Code, the failure by Manufacturer or its trustee to perform its
               obligations under this Agreement;

           B.  Manufacturer ceases to operate as a business for a period of
               thirty (30) days;

           C.  Manufacturer or any successor thereto has materially breached
               this Agreement, and has failed to cure such breach within sixty
               (60) days written notice thereof from Distributor or, if such
               breach is not susceptible of cure within such period, has failed
               to commence such cure within such period; or

           D.  The material failure by Manufacturer to fill purchase orders for
               the Products, including the failure to meet agreed shipping dates
               or Volume Requirements, (i) where such failure continues for a
               period of three (3) months, or (ii) such that less than seventy-
               five percent (75%) of the total units of the Products ordered are
               actually shipped by Manufacturer during any consecutive three (3)
               month period. For the purposes of this subsection, "Volume
               Requirements" shall mean twenty-five percent (25%) more units of
               Product, by Product type, than that submitted by Distributor to
               Manufacturer as the rolling forecast referred to in Section 3.10
               hereinabove;

           E.  The material failure by Manufacturer to manufacture the Products
               to meet the applicable specifications, such that fifteen percent
               (15%) of the total units of the Products ordered by Distributor
               during any consecutive three (3) month period do not meet the
               applicable specifications;

           F.  Manufacturer discontinues a particular Product without the prior
               written consent of Distributor, or fails to make available
               hereunder a reasonably acceptable replacement product for such
               discontinued Product.

     9.02  Exercise of License. If any of the events described in Section 9.01
     occur, then Distributor shall give written notice to Manufacturer of such
     event (including notice of the specific Products to which such event(s)
     apply) and, within fifteen (15) days after Manufacturer's receipt of such
     notice, Manufacturer shall deliver or caused to be delivered to Distributor
     or its designee copies of the then-current Manufacturing Materials for the
     applicable Products.
<PAGE>

     9.03  Technical Assistance. Manufacturer shall provide all engineering and
     technical assistance needed in order to transfer to Distributor or its
     designee all such Manufacturing Materials, so that Distributor may fully
     exercise the license granted in Section 9.01. Pursuant to such license,
     Distributor may copy, display, distribute and create derivative works of
     any copyrightable materials included in the Manufacturing Materials
     released to Distributor.

     9.04  Royalty. If any of the events listed in Section 9.01 (A), (B) or (F)
     occur, then the license granted to Distributor under Section 9.01 shall be
     royalty-free. If any of the events listed in Section 9.01 (C), (D), or (E)
     occur, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith the royalty
     percentage from the applicable Product (including all improvement,
     additions and new versions thereof) that Distributor shall be required to
     pay to Manufacturer for the license granted to Distributor under Section
     9.1, which percentage shall be based on the value of the Manufacturing
     Materials to Distributor and taking into account such factors as, without
     limitation, cost to prepare to manufacture the Products; provided, however,
     that in no event shall the royalty percentage exceed five percent (5%) for
     any particular Product.

     9.05  Escrow of Materials. As mutually agreed to by the parties, the
     parties, along with a mutually acceptable, professional escrow agent, may
     enter into an agreement in order to establish and maintain in escrow during
     the term of this Agreement, copies of the Manufacturing Materials. Such
     agreement shall establish, at a minimum, the times at which Manufacturer is
     required to update the Manufacturing Materials, the release conditions that
     entitle Distributor to obtain such Manufacturing Materials (in addition to
     Section 9.01 hereof), and the costs to maintain such account. Such costs
     shall be reasonable, and shall be the responsibility of Distributor.

10.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     10.01  Notices. Any notice, request, or other document to be given to a
     Party under this Agreement shall be in writing and A) sent by registered or
     certified mail, postage prepaid, B) hand delivered, C) sent by express mail
     or other overnight delivery service which provides documentation of
     receipt, or D) sent by telecopy, telex or telegram, addressed as follows:

     Any party may change its address for receiving notices, requests or other
documents by giving written notice of the change to the other party.

     10.02  Entire Agreement. The Schedule, Attachments, and Exhibits referred
     to in this Agreement are considered to be part of this Agreement. This
     Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to
     its subject matter and supersedes all previous agreements and
     understandings, whether written or oral between the parties regarding its
     subject matter.

     10.03  No Oral Modification. This Agreement may not be modified except in
     writing signed by an officer of the Parties.

     10.04  No Implied Waivers. The failure of one Party to require performance
     by the other of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the right
     to require performance at a later time. The waiver by one Party of a breach
     by the other of any provision of this Agreement shall not be a waiver of
     any later breach of the provision.

     10.05  Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
     benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.
     Distributor may assign this Agreement, without Manufacturer's consent, to
     any subsidiary or affiliate of Distributor. Distributor's rights and
     obligations under this Agreement shall automatically transfer in connection
     with a merger, consolidation, reorganization involving Distributor or sale
     of substantially all of Distributor's assets. Manufacturer may assign this
     Agreement, without Distributor's consent, to any subsidiary or affiliate of
     Manufacturer. Manufacturer's rights and obligations under this Agreement
     shall automatically transfer in connection with a merger, consolidation,
     reorganization involving Manufacturer or sale of substantially all of
     Manufacturer's assets. Any attempted assignment in violation of this
     provision shall be null and void.

<PAGE>

     10.06  Relationship of Parties. The relationship established by this
     Agreement is a buyer-seller relationship and not an agency, employment,
     joint venture, franchise, or partnership relationship. Neither Party has
     the authority to bind the other.

     10.07  Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
     shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
     jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any
     other provisions of this Agreement.

     10.08  No Goodwill. The Parties recognize that the creation of goodwill in
     the market is based upon the high quality of Manufacturer's Products and
     Distributor's domestic advertising and marketing. No claim for goodwill may
     be made by either party.

     10.09  Force Majeure. Non-performance by either party hereunder, other than
     an obligation to pay money, shall be excused to the extent that performance
     is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, governmental acts, orders or
     restrictions, or any other reason to the extent that the failure to perform
     is beyond the control of the non-performing party.

     10.10  Headings. The Section headings contained in this Agreement are for
     reference purpose only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
     interpretation of this Agreement.

     10.11  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
     in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to
     such state's principles of conflicts of law.

     10.12  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
     counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
     together shall constitute one instrument.

                                  Schedule C



1.  APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The acknowledgment of any order by CARDIMA,
    INC. shall constitute the purchaser's acceptance of CARDIMA's terms and
    conditions. No terms or conditions stated by the purchaser shall be binding
    on CARDIMA unless such terms or conditions are expressly accepted in writing
    by CARDIMA prior to commencement under this order. CARDIMA's terms of sale
    are net 30 payable within 30 days or subject to service charges under
    Section 2 for domestic shipments and net 60 payable within 60 days or
    subject to service charges under Section 2 for foreign shipments.

2.  SERVICE CHARGES: In the event that the purchaser does not pay the amount due
    within the days specified from the due date, CARDIMA may assess service
    charges of one and one-half (1.5%) percent per month on the amount due. Such
    amount is the reasonable estimate of fair compensation for any loss that
    CARDIMA may sustain. Such amount for each month that the purchase price
    remain unpaid has been agreed to in advance because of the impracticability
    of fixing actual damages. In the event legal or other costs are incurred to
    collect on any unpaid balance, the purchaser will be charged for all
    collection costs, including attorney's fees. Also, CARDIMA reserves the
    rights to charge for priority freight expenses.

3.  TAXES: CARDIMA is required to comply with any and all state and local taxes
    where applicable unless a properly executed resale or exempt certificate has
    been received from the purchaser.

    number so that the correct amount of credit will be applied.
