    (d)           Additional
Benefits.  The Executive will be entitled to participate in all
employee benefit plans or programs and receive all benefits and perquisites for
which any salaried employees are eligible under any existing or future plan or
program established by the Company or its affiliates and available to similarly
situated employees of the Company, including participation in stock option

and assistance to the Company and from time to time will make themselves
available to the Company to undertake assignments consistent with their prior
position with the Company.  If the Company fails to make a payment or
provide a benefit required as part of the Agreement, the Executive's obligation
to furnish information and assistance will end.

    


    (c)           For
purposes of this Agreement, the Executive will be considered to be “disabled” if

felony or a common law fraud that results in or is likely to result in economic
damage to the Company.  Executive will be provided a reasonable

    (b)           The
Executive recognizes and acknowledges that all non-public information pertaining

    (c)           During
the Period of Employment, the Executive will not use his status with the Company
to obtain loans, goods or services from another organization on terms that would
not be available to him in the absence of his relationship to the
Company.  During the period of his employment and for a period of 12
months thereafter, the Executive will not directly or indirectly manage, consult
or work for, serve as employee, officer, director, consultant, agent or

pursue any similar investment opportunity with any individual or enterprise
introduced to the Executive or Company directly in connection with the
performance of the Executive's duties to the Company during the term of his
employment, in each case in the area of tissue repair or
regeneration.  For purposes of this restriction, the receipt of stock,
stock options or restricted stock for any reason (including as consideration for
services or otherwise) shall be deemed an investment in the issuing company or
any Affiliates thereof.  This restriction shall not apply to any
investment opportunity that has been declined by the
Company.  “Affiliate” shall mean any company, corporation, business or
entity that is controlled by, controlling, or under common control with a

solicit any employee to leave the employ of the Company.

    


    (d) After
the Period of Employment, upon reasonable notice the Executive shall provide the
Company with sufficient information to verify compliance with his
post-employment obligations hereunder, including providing periodic reports
detailing any compensation received from another party during the severance
period outlined above, and promptly responding to specific requests from the
Company regarding possible violations of any restrictive covenant hereunder or
under any other agreement with the Company.

    


    (e)           The

provision of Section 9 would cause irreparable harm to the Company not
compensable in monetary damages and that the Company shall be entitled, in
addition to all other applicable remedies, to a temporary and permanent
injunction and a decree for specific performance of the terms of Section 9
without being required to prove damages or furnish any bond or other
security.

    


    (f)           The

    (g)           For
purposes of Section 9, the “Company” shall include any person or entity that,
directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by the Company or is under

    10.           Indemnification;
Litigation.

    


    The
Executive and the Company previously entered into the Indemnification Agreement
under which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Executive from and against
certain liability associated with his providing services as an executive of the
Company.  The parties hereby reaffirm the Indemnification Agreement,
which shall remain effective together with this Employment
Agreement.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the
Indemnification Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement shall supersede this
Agreement.

    


    11.           Effect of Change in
Control.

    


    (a) In
the event there is a Change in Control (as defined below) and within the twelve
(12) month period following such event Executive is terminated in a Without
Cause Termination, or Executive elects to resign upon written notice to the
Company following an event that constitutes Good Reason (as defined below), all
outstanding stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and any
other unvested equity incentives shall become fully exercisable and vested as of
the Date of such Change of Control and shall remain exercisable for their stated
terms.  In addition, the Company shall pay Executive upon such
termination or resignation, in exchange for the Executive complying with the
obligations and restriction set forth or referred to in Section 8, the severance
payments and benefits due under Section eight (8)(a) above with respect to a
Without Cause Termination, but such payments and benefits shall be provided for
a period of twelve (12) months following termination or resignation pursuant to
this Section.

    


    (b) A “Change in Control” shall be
deemed to have occurred if (i) a tender offer shall be made and consummated for
the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting
securities of the Company, (ii) the Company shall be merged or consolidated with
another corporation or entity and as a result of such merger or consolidation
less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the
surviving or resulting corporation or entity shall be owned in the aggregate by
the former shareholders of the Company, as the same shall have existed
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, (iii) the Company shall sell
all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or entity which is
not a wholly-owned subsidiary, or (iv) a person, within the meaning of Section
3(a)(9) or of Section 13 (d)(3) (as in effect on the date hereof) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), shall acquire more than
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (whether
directly, indirectly, beneficially, or of record).  For purposes
hereof, ownership of voting securities shall take into account and shall include
ownership as determined by applying the provisions of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) (as in
effect on the date hereof) pursuant to the Exchange Act.

    (c) A resignation for “Good Reason”
shall be deemed to have occurred if the Executive resigns his employment with
the Company after the occurrence of any of the following events, to which the
Executive has not expressly consented in writing: (i) a material reduction in
the Executive’s Base Salary (other than one applicable to all senior
management); (ii) a material reduction in job duties, authority,
responsibilities and requirements inconsistent with the Executive’s position
with the Company and the Executive’s prior duties, authority, responsibilities,
and requirements or a change in the Executive’s reporting relationship; (iii) a
relocation of the Executive to a facility or location more than fifty (50) miles
from the address of the Company’s headquarters office as of the effective date
of this Agreement, or (iv) material breach by the Company of any of the material
covenants herein.  Any of the foregoing conditions described in this
Section 11(c) will constitute “Good Reason” only if the Executive first delivers
a notice of termination to the Company identifying such condition (or
conditions) within ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence of such
condition (or conditions) and such condition continues uncured for a period of
thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice of
termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s
termination of employment will not be considered to be for Good Reason unless
the Company fails to cure such condition and such termination of employment
occurs within sixty (60) days  of the expiration of the Company’s (30)
day cure period.

    


    12.         Tax
Provisions.

    


    (a)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement whatsoever, the Company shall have the
right, after consulting with and securing the approval of the Executive (which
approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), to provide for the application and
effects of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) (relating to deferred compensation arrangements) and any related
regulatory or administrative guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service
such that the severance and other benefits provided under this Agreement shall
not trigger the additional tax, interest, and any related penalties imposed by
Code Section 409A(l)(B).  Although the Company intends to administer
the Agreement so that it will comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A,
the Company does not represent or warrant that the Agreement will comply with
Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local or non-United
States law.  Neither the Company, its subsidiaries, nor their
respective directors, officers, employees or advisers will be liable to the
Executive (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Executive) for
any tax, interest, or penalties the Executive may owe as a result of
compensation paid under the Agreement, and the Company and its subsidiaries will
have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Executive from the
obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

    


    (b)           The
Company shall delay the payment of any severance benefits payable under this
Agreement as required to comply with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) (relating to
payments made to certain “specified employees” of certain publicly-traded
companies) and in such event, any such amount to which the Executive would
otherwise be entitled during the six (6) month period immediately following his
termination of employment shall instead be accumulated through and paid or
provided on the first business day following the expiration of such six (6)
month period, or if earlier, the date of his death.  For the avoidance
of doubt, no portion of  any such  severance benefits shall
be subject to the foregoing delay if and to the extent that such benefits (i)
constitute a “short term deferral” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(a)(4)
of the Treasury Regulations, or (ii) (A) are being paid due to the Executive’s
“involuntary separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(n)
of the Treasury Regulations); (B) do not exceed two times the lesser of (1) the
Executive’s annualized compensation from the Company for the calendar year prior
to the calendar year in which the termination occurs, or (2) the maximum amount
that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Code Section
401(a)(17) for the year in which the Executive’s employment terminates; and (C)
the payment is required under this Agreement to be paid no later than the last
day of the second (2nd) calendar year following the calendar year during which
the Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section
409A) occurs.  For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s
right to receive installment payments pursuant to any provision in this
Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and
distinct payments.  The determination of whether the Executive is a
“specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) as of the
time of his termination of employment shall made by the Company in accordance
with the terms of Code Section 409A and the applicable guidance thereunder
(including without limitation Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and any
successor provision thereto).


    
      
         


      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (c)           The
continued employee benefits available under Sections 8 and 11 above that are
taxable benefits (and that are not disability pay or death benefit plans within
the meaning of Code Section 409A) are intended to comply, to the maximum extent
possible, with the exception to Code Section 409A set forth in Section
1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) of the Treasury Regulations (and any successor
thereto).  To the extent that any of those benefits either do not
qualify for that exception, or are provided beyond the applicable time periods
set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) of the Treasury Regulations, then such
amounts will be reimbursed or provided no later than December 31 of the year
following the year in which the expense was incurred and will be subject to the
following additional rules:  (i) the amount of in-kind benefits
provided, during any calendar year shall not affect the amount of in-kind
benefits to be provided, during any other calendar year; and (ii) the right to
in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit.

    


    (d)           For
the avoidance of doubt, no amount subject to the requirements of Code Section
409A shall become payable to the Executive as a result of a termination of
employment that does not constitute a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) and Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury
Regulations.

    


    13.         Consolidation; Merger or
Sale of Assets.  Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the
Company from consolidating or merging into or with, or transferring all or
substantially all of its assets to, another corporation that assumes this
Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company
hereunder.  Upon such a consolidation, merger or sale of assets, the
term “the Company” as used will mean the other corporation and this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect.

    


    14.         Modification.  This
Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the
parties.  No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to
have been waived, except in writing by the party charged with
waiver.  A waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or
condition waived and will not constitute a waiver for the future or act on
anything other than that which is specifically waived.

    


    15.         Governing
Law.  This Agreement has been executed and delivered in the
State of Tennessee and its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement
shall be governed by the laws of that state.

    


    16.         Notices.  All
notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been made when delivered or mailed
