 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms.
All terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth and/or defined in the Lease, unless specifically indicated herein to the contrary. 
 2. Term. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended through and including June 30, 2006 (the “Extended Term”). 
 3. Leased Premises. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and confirm that the Leased Premises are located at 4350 International
Boulevard, Norcross, Georgia, within Gwinnett Park, and contain 44,592 rentable square feet. 
 4. Permitted Occupancy of Best
Vascular, Inc. of the Leased Premises. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has or will shortly after the execution of this Eighth Amendment to Lease Agreement consummate certain 








 
transactions whereby Best Vascular, Inc., a Delaware corporation, will acquire substantially all of the assets of Tenant’s VBT business located within
and on the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph 20.01 of the Lease, Landlord hereby consents to the occupancy of Best Vascular, Inc. of the Leased Premises during the Extended Term, provided that Best Vascular, Inc.
agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of the Lease with respect to the use of the Leased Premises. 
 5. Monthly Rent.
Landlord and Tenant agree that during the Extended Term commencing as of April 1, 2006, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, Monthly Rent as follows: 
  

									
	 Months
	  	Total Rent	 	 	Monthly Rent	 
	 1 – 3*
	  	$	78,186.27	*	 	$	26,062.09	*



	*	The Monthly Rent is an amount equal to Twenty Six Thousand Sixty-Two and 09/100 Dollars ($26,062.09), which includes Two Thousand Four Hundred Eight and 26/100 Dollars ($2,408.26)
in reimburseables. Upon execution of this Eighth Amendment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in full Ninety Five Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Six and 64/100 Dollars ($95,926.64) (an amount equal to Total Rent plus “Increased Monthly Rent”,
which is defined as one-half (1/2) of Monthly Rent less reimburseables, times one and one-half (1 1/2) months’ (i.e. $78,186.27 + .5 x $23,653.83 x 1.5 = $95,926.64)). In the event Tenant has not executed either a Letter of Intent to enter
a lease or an amendment to a lease for the Leased Premises for a term of not less than thirty-six (36) months (the “New Lease Term”) with a commencement date of July 1, 2006 (“New Lease”) on or before May 15, 2006,
then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the Lease upon forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice (the “Termination Notice”) to the other party. In the event Tenant or Best Vascular, Inc., as the case may be, enters into a
New Lease before May 15, 2006, any and all Increased Monthly Rent paid to Landlord shall be credited towards the Tenant’s rental payments or Best Vascular, Inc.’s rental payments, as the case may be, due in the New Lease Term.


 In the event Tenant or Best Vascular, Inc., as the case may be, has not entered into a New Lease Term or provided the
required Termination Notice to Landlord by the end of the Extended Term, Tenant or Best Vascular, Inc., as the case may be, shall have the option to continue to occupy the Leased Premises on a month-to-month term subject to the provisions of the
Lease, provided Tenant or Best Vascular, Inc., as the case may be, shall pay Landlord, in addition to any other rent or other sums then due Landlord, on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter, a Monthly Rent of Thirty Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Nine and 01/100 Dollars ($37,889.01) which includes Two
Thousand Four Hundred Eight and 26/100 Dollars ($2,408.26) in reimburseables. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease and for the avoidance of doubt, Best Vascular, Inc. shall be a permitted third party beneficiary with respect to this
paragraph 5. 
 6. Rent Payments. The Lease is hereby modified to reflect that Landlord’s rental payment address is as
follows: 
 Windsor at Gwinnett Park 

	   c/o Windsor Property Management Commercial Lockbox 
	 PO Box 403216 


 Atlanta, Georgia 30384-3216 
 7. As Is. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Landlord shall deliver and Tenant shall
accept the Leased Premises on an “AS IS” basis, and any and all improvements to be made to the Leased Premises shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. 
 8. Non-Waiver. Except as expressly provided for herein, Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree that nothing contained in this Eighth Amendment shall be deemed or construed to waive or to modify the terms
or conditions of the Lease, all of which are hereby restated in their entirety. 
 9. Successors and Assigns. The terms and
provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and upon the heirs, executors, representatives, administrators, successors and assigns of Landlord and Tenant. 







 10. Governing Law. This Eighth Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with Georgia law and venue for any action or legal proceeding hereunder shall be permitted solely in Gwinnett County, Georgia. 
 11.
Affirmation. Tenant and Landlord hereby affirm that the Lease has not been modified or amended (except as provided in this Eighth Amendment) and that all of Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations accrued to date have been
performed. Tenant and Landlord hereby ratify the provisions of the Lease, as modified hereby, on behalf of each of them and their successors and assigns. 
 12. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly amended and modified hereby, the Lease shall otherwise remain in full force and effect, the parties hereto hereby ratifying and confirming the same. This
Eighth Amendment, together with the Lease, is the complete understanding between the parties and supersedes all other prior agreements and representations concerning its subject matter. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Lease and this
Eighth Amendment, the terms of this Eighth Amendment shall control.
