provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be required to assume any obligations thereunder other than obligations incurred after
the date hereof in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.



2.7    Allocation.



	The Deferred Payments plus Assumed Liabilities, in each case, to the extent properly taken into account under the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets and the non-competition undertakings contained in
this Agreement in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar
provision of Israeli or other state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate) as set forth on Exhibit G hereto (as may be
revised in accordance with the following sentence, the "Allocation"), which shall be jointly prepared by
Purchaser and the Seller Parties before Closing.  Purchaser and the Seller Parties agree to revise the Allocation to reflect any Deferred
Payments or Assumed Liabilities, in either case to the extent not previously taken into account for purposes of the Allocation.

Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto, and
(iii) take no position and cause their Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the Allocation in any filings, declarations or reports
with any U.S. or foreign Tax authority, including for income Tax purposes, United States federal and state income Tax and non-U.S.
income Tax, unless otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.
Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to this transaction if such filing is
required by Law, each of Purchaser and Seller Parties shall deliver to the other a copy of its Form 8594.


2.8    Transfer Taxes.  All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use and similar Taxes and any
sales, use or other Taxes imposed by reason of the transfers of Acquired Assets provided hereunder (excluding for the removal of
doubt income or similar Taxes and further excluding any VAT or similar Taxes, as to which Section 2.9 hereof
shall govern) and any deficiency, interest or penalty asserted with respect thereto ("Transfer Taxes") shall
be paid to the relevant Taxing authority by the Seller Parties when due.  The Seller Parties shall file all necessary Tax Returns and
other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes; provided, that, the Seller Parties shall permit Purchaser to review
and comment on each such Tax Return and other documentation prior to filing and shall make such revisions to each such Tax Return
and other documentation as are reasonably requested by Purchaser.  If required by applicable Law, Purchaser will, and will cause its
Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.  The Seller Parties shall provide Purchaser with
evidence satisfactory to Purchaser that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by the Seller Parties, and Purchaser shall reimburse the
Seller Parties for fifty percent (50%) of such Transfer Taxes and

the expenses incurred by Seller Parties in connection with the
preparation of any related Tax Return within fifteen (15) days after the date on which the Seller Parties have provided Purchaser with
reasonable evidence thereof.


2.9    VAT and Similar Taxes.



	The parties understand and agree that the Deferred Payments have been determined exclusive of VAT, and believe as of the date
hereof that any applicable VAT rate would be 0%.  If in the reasonable opinion of the Company's counsel the VAT rate is not 0%, then
Purchaser shall be entitled to file a request pursuant to Section 20 of Israeli Value Added Tax Law with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby (the "VAT Request").  At Purchaser's request and expense, the Company shall
cooperate with Purchaser in preparing and filing the VAT Request.  If Purchaser does not file a VAT Request, or if the VAT Request is
denied, the applicable VAT, to the extent required to be paid, shall be paid by Purchaser to the Company at any time after the date on
which the applicable portion of the Deferred Payment is payable in accordance with this Agreement, but not later than two (2) Business
Days prior to the date upon which the Company is required to remit the applicable VAT to the Israeli VAT Authorities, against receipt by
Purchaser of a valid VAT invoice from the Company.  The Company will furnish an invoice to Purchaser reflecting a VAT rate of 0%
unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company the VAT rate is not 0%.

2.10    Withholding.



	Withholding Under Israeli Law.  Subject to the third sentence of this Section 2.10, the Purchaser shall
be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to the Seller Parties such
amounts as the Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold under Israeli Law, with respect to the making of such

                                          26

OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT

payment.  To the
extent that amounts are so withheld by the Purchaser, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the Seller Parties in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Purchaser.  If, at or prior to
the Closing, the Company delivers to the Purchaser a certificate from the Israeli Tax Authority evidencing an exemption from
withholding of Taxes, which shall be applicable, valid and in effect as of the Closing, the Purchaser shall honor such withholding tax
exemption.  The Company has presented to Purchaser, and Purchaser acknowledges receipt of, a certificate from the Israeli Tax
Authority evidencing an exemption from withholding of Taxes, which is applicable, valid and in effect, and as such, the Purchaser shall
honor such withholding tax exemption.  



	Withholding Under Other Laws.  Should a withholding tax be levied by virtue of a double tax treaty or a source country's
Law, the parties will undertake reasonable efforts and coordinate in advance of any payment in order to benefit from any tax treaty
provision providing for a withholding tax exemption or a reduction of the applicable withholding tax rate; provided that under no
circumstance shall Purchaser be entitled to delay any payment under this Agreement or withhold from or reduce all or any portion of
any payment under this Agreement as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.10(b), and the Seller Parties (and
any of the stockholders of the Seller Parties) shall not be required to incur or suffer any financial detriment or loss in order to comply
with the provisions of this Section 2.10(b). 

2.11    Alternative Arrangements.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any agreement
or certificate executed and delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to the contrary, neither this Agreement
nor any such agreement or certificate shall constitute an agreement to assign any Contract, Permit or any claim or right or


                                          27

any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would
constitute a default thereof.  If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect
the rights thereunder so that Purchaser would not receive all such rights, the Seller Parties shall, at the expense of the Purchaser, use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect alternative arrangements in the form of a license, sublease, or operating agreement in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and the Seller Parties until such time as such consent or approval has been
obtained that results in Purchaser receiving substantially all of the benefits under and bearing all the ordinary course costs, liabilities
and other obligations with respect to any such Contract or Permit.  Upon obtaining the requisite third party consent thereto, each such
non-assignable Contract or Permit shall be transferred and assigned to Purchaser hereunder.



 ARTICLE III

its business or ownership or leasing of its properties or assets makes such qualification or licensing
necessary.



	On November 17, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company recommended to the shareholders of the Company to voluntarily
liquidate the Company.  On December 10, 2006, the shareholders of the Company duly approved to commence a voluntary liquidation
of the Company and duly appointed Motti Beyar as the receiver of the Company.

	Schedule 3.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shows for the Subsidiary: (i) its jurisdiction of
organization and each other jurisdiction in which it is qualified to do business, (ii) the authorized and outstanding capital stock or
other ownership interests of the Subsidiary, and (iii) the identity of and number of shares of such capital stock or other ownership
interests owned (of record and beneficially) by each holder thereof.

and/or licensed to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or
ownership or leasing of its properties and assets makes such qualification or licensing necessary.


	The capital stock and hence the entire equity of the Subsidiary is owned, beneficially and of record, by the Company.  Except for
the Company's ownership of the Subsidiary, and except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(c) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, neither of the Seller Parties has any equity, membership, joint venture or other ownership interest in any
Person.

against each Seller Party in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.  No vote or written consent of any
holder of securities of any Seller Party is necessary to approve this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby except
such as has been obtained prior to the date hereof.


	The execution and delivery by each Seller Party of this Agreement does not, the consummation of the transactions contemplated

approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may be required under applicable federal and state securities
Laws, (ii) such filings as may be required under the HSR Act, and (iii) such other consents, approvals, authorizations, permits,

proprietary information relating thereto, together with all analyses, compilations, studies or other documents, records or data prepared

remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and injunctive relief in order to

forth on the Company Disclosure Schedules as an Acquired Asset is mistakenly included as such, and instead should have been
included as an Acquired Asset under the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, each party hereto agrees to cooperate fully with the
other parties to correct such error.

7.4    Non-competition Covenant.  The Seller Parties agree as follows:



	For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing, each of the Seller Parties agree that it will not, individually or otherwise, do
any of the following anywhere in the world:



	directly or indirectly, own any interest in, control, be employed by or associated with, or render services (including but not limited to
services in research) to any person or entity, or subsidiary, subdivision, division, or joint venture of such entity (except the Purchaser
and its Affiliates), in connection with the design, development, manufacture, license, distribution, marketing, or sale of a Competing
Product; provided, however, that each Seller Party may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) two
percent (2%) of any class of publicly traded securities of any enterprise (but without participating in the activities of the enterprise);


	directly or indirectly, solicit, attempt to solicit, interfere, or attempt to interfere with the Purchaser's relationship with its customers or
potential customers, on behalf of any person or entity engaged in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, or sale of a
Competing Product; or


	directly or indirectly design, develop, manufacture, license, distribute, market, or sell any Competing Product.


	The parties acknowledge and agree that the market for the Existing Products is worldwide and that the provisions of this
Section 7.4 shall apply throughout the world.

	For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4 shall not
apply to (i) any sales of Existing Products by the Seller Parties pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement and the TSA
License Agreement and (ii) any Exploitation (as defined in the Outside Field License Agreement) of the Intellectual Property Rights that
is permitted by the Outside Field License Agreement.


	In addition to any other relief or remedies afforded by law or in equity, if a Seller Party breaches its obligations under this
Section 7.4, the Purchaser shall be entitled, as a matter of right and without posting any bond or other security,
to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.  This shall not preclude the granting of any other appropriate relief including,
without limitation, money damages against a Seller Party for breach of this Section 7.4.


	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4 shall not apply to any third party that acquires by merger, acquisition
of stock or assets, all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Seller Parties if such third party (i) is not otherwise Affiliated
with any Seller Party prior to the consummation of such transaction and (ii) is engaged in the Business prior to entering into any
Contract with respect to such acquisition; provided that such third party would not otherwise be subject to the restrictions set
forth in this Section 7.4 but for the consummation of such acquisition.

7.5    HSR Act.



	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable
best efforts to make all necessary filings required under the HSR Act (including, but not limited to, the Notification and Report Form

(16 C.F.R. Part 803 - Appendix)) as soon as the Purchaser determines is prudent and practicable but not later than twenty (20)
Business Days after the date of this Agreement, and each party agrees to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate
Governmental Entities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant thereto.   



	From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, each party hereto shall
promptly notify the other party of any pending or threatened action or investigation by any Governmental Entity seeking to restrain or
prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise limit the right of the Purchaser to own or operate all or
any portion of the Business or the Acquired Assets.


	To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the
views of one another, in connection with all filings, applications, notices, analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda,
submissions, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party before any Governmental Entity
in connection with the approval of the contemplated transactions (except with respect to Taxes); provided, however, that in the event of
a disagreement concerning any such filing, application, notice, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument,
opinion or proposal, the determination of the Purchaser shall be conclusive;  provided, further that nothing will prevent a party
from responding to or complying with a subpoena or other legal process required by Law or submitting factual information in response
to a request therefore.  In addition, except as prohibited by Law, the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Purchaser of any
communication to the Company from any Governmental Entity relating to the approval or disapproval of the transactions contemplated
hereby; and (ii) not participate in any meetings or substantive discussions with any Governmental Entity with

respect thereto without
consulting with and offering the Purchaser a meaningful opportunity to participate in such meetings or discussions.



	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall take all actions that are necessary to permit and
cause the Closing to occur as soon as possible and in any event prior to the September 30, 2007, including taking all actions that are
necessary to comply with any requirement, request or condition sought or imposed by the United States Federal Trade Commission
("FTC") or the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice
("DOJ") or other Governmental Entity, relating in any way to this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby ("Government Conditions"), where the failure to satisfy any
Government Condition would prevent or make illegal such timely consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i)
proposing, negotiating, offering to commit and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, out-
license or other disposition of such of the Acquired Assets as the Purchaser deems necessary (a
"Disposition"), and (ii) taking all other actions necessary or reasonable, as determined by the Purchaser,
including instigating or defending any proceeding or litigation, making reasonable offers of compromise, and promptly removing or
causing to be removed any direction, determination, requirement, injunction, order, condition or limitation, that prevents or would
prevent, or that makes illegal, the timely consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.   Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, (x) the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may decide not to enter into any Disposition, settlement,
undertaking, condition or limitation otherwise necessary to comply with any Government Conditions, and (y) the Purchaser shall not be
required to enter into a Disposition with respect to any assets other than the Acquired Assets.  In furtherance of the foregoing, except

as prohibited by Law, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's request, take all actions that are reasonably necessary to comply with any
Government Conditions; provided, however, that in the event that the Acquired Assets are to be sold, divested, out-licensed or
otherwise disposed of in a transaction other than the Closing, the Seller Parties shall not be obligated to take any such action unless as
a condition to such transaction the third party involved therein is required to execute and deliver the Non-Competition, Confidentiality
and Development Agreement or in lieu thereof, the Entrepreneurs shall otherwise be compensated therefor or otherwise receive the
benefit of their bargain pursuant thereto.  



	If the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or prior to September 30, 2007, the Purchaser shall thereafter be required to use its
continuous best efforts to cause the Closing to occur as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, and the Seller Parties shall
provide such cooperation and assistance as shall be necessary in connection therewith without unreasonable disruption to the
operation of the business of the Seller Parties (other than the Business); provided, however, no party shall be required to take or refrain
from taking any action in violation of applicable Law.


	The Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless against any
Damages that the Seller Indemnified Parties incur by reason of their compliance with this Section 7.5.  


	The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and retain any Net Proceeds (as defined below) from Dispositions under this Agreement.
"Net Proceeds" shall mean, for any Disposition, the sum of all amounts received in respect of such
Disposition net of (a) expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller Parties in connection with such Disposition, and (b) without
duplication any amounts in Damages pursuant to Section 7.5(f).   For the avoidance of doubt,

Net Proceeds shall not
include any proceeds or payments allocable to any assets or rights other than the Acquired Assets that are the subject of such
Disposition.


7.6    Purchaser's Financial Statements.  From and after the date hereof, upon the Purchaser's
request and at Purchaser's expense, the Seller Parties shall cooperate with, and use their reasonable best efforts to assist the
Purchaser and such independent auditor as the Purchaser shall designate with respect to the preparation of such financial statements
relating to the Business as Purchaser shall be required to file under Regulation S-X under U.S. federal securities Laws.


7.7    Dissolution of the Company.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), dissolve prior to the date on which all
Deferred Payments have been satisfied by or on behalf of the Purchaser.


7.8    Additional Covenants of the Seller Parties.



	The Seller Parties shall take such actions as set forth on Schedule 7.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.



	Regardless of priority claims recited in, or material incorporated by reference into, the patents and applications listed in Table #1
(entitled "Confidence Bone System") of Schedule 3.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, neither of
the Seller Parties shall, individually or otherwise, anywhere in the world, file, prosecute or otherwise pursue claims that rely for support
on any disclosure, whether incorporated by reference or otherwise, in any patent or patent application set forth on Schedule
3.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement.

7.9    Tax Matters.  To the extent the Purchaser and the Seller Parties reasonably agree the
same are required, the Seller Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to procure and provide the Purchaser with such
clearance certificates or other documents as the Purchaser reasonably determines are required by any state taxing authority to relieve
the Purchaser of any obligation to withhold any portion of the payments to the Seller Parties pursuant to this
Agreement.

 ARTICLE X



INDEMNIFICATION



10.1    Indemnification of the Purchaser.



	From and after the date hereof and subject to the limitations contained in this Article X, each Seller Party shall,
jointly and severally, indemnify the Purchaser and its respective equity holders, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys,
accountants, advisors, Affiliates and its successors and assigns (collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnified
Parties") and hold the Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless against any loss, expense, liability, claim, obligation, fine,
penalty, cost or other damage, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent of the actual amount of such loss, expense, liability or
other damage (collectively, "Damages") that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties have incurred by reason of
(i) the inaccuracy or breach by the Seller Parties of any representation or warranty contained in Article III
(Representations and Warranties Relating to the Business) of this Agreement or the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement,
or any other agreement, Contract, certificate or other document executed or delivered by or on behalf of any Seller Party in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, (ii) the

breach by the Seller Parties of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Seller Parties contained in this Agreement or the
Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, or any other agreement, Contract, certificate or other document executed or delivered by or
on behalf of any Seller Party in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Non-
Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, (iii) any Damages of the Purchaser arising out of or resulting from the failure of the Subsidiary to
comply with any applicable bulk sales laws in the United States and (iv) all Liabilities of the Seller Parties except for the Assumed
Liabilities (as defined in each of this Agreement and the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement).  The term "Damages" as
used in this Article X is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against an indemnified party, but includes
Damages incurred or sustained by an indemnified party in the absence of third party claims.



	All calculations of Damages shall take into account any offset benefits or insurance proceeds actually recovered under insurance
policies in connection with the matter out of which such Damages shall arise, provided, however, that the Seller
Parties shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any increase in premium with respect to such insurance policies that the
Purchaser determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment and supported by documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Seller
Parties, is due to the tender of such claim made in connection with the matter out of which such Damages arose.  If the Purchaser
determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that any matter out of which Damages shall arise is covered by an insurance policy
of a Purchaser Indemnified Party, then the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Purchaser Indemnified Party to, file a claim against
such insurance policy with respect to such Damages.

TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED. 






	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to seek indemnification
with respect to any Damages under Section 10.1(a)(i) from a Seller Party unless and until the aggregate
amount of all such Damages suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for which indemnification is available under this
Section 10.1 exceeds the Deductible in Section 10.4 (Deductible and Cap)
and then the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for only such aggregate amount that exceeds such
Deductible, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive with
respect to any Damages under Section 10.1(a)(i) shall in no event exceed the Cap.  The limitations set forth in
this Section 10.1(c) shall not apply to (i) the first sentence of Sections 3.1 (Organization of the
Company and the Subsidiary), the first four sentences of 3.3(a) (Authority), 3.4 (Tax
Matters), 3.6 (Title to Property and Assets) and 3.19 (Governmental Grants) of this Agreement or the
Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Representations Not Subject to Cap"), (ii) the
breach of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of Seller Parties contained in this Agreement or the Non-Vertebroplasty
Purchase Agreement, or (ii) any claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

10.2    Indemnification of the Seller Parties.



	From and after the date hereof and subject to the limitations contained in this Article X, the Purchaser shall
indemnify the Seller Parties and their respective equity holders, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants,
managers, members, advisors and Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "Seller
Indemnified Parties") and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless against any Damages that the Seller Indemnified
Parties have incurred by reason of the inaccuracy or breach (i) of any

representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained in
Article IV (Representations and Warranties Relating to the Purchaser) of this Agreement or the Non-
Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, or any other agreement, Contract, certificate or other document executed or delivered by or on
behalf of Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Non-Vertebroplasty
Purchase Agreement, (ii) of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Purchaser set forth herein to be performed by the
Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Agreement or the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, or any other agreement, Contract,
certificate or other document executed or delivered by or on behalf of any Seller Party in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or by the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in
each of this Agreement and the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement).



	All such calculations of Damages shall take into account any offset benefits or insurance proceeds actually recovered under
insurance policies in connection with the matter out of which such Damages shall arise, provided, however, that the
Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for any increase in premium with respect to such insurance policies that the
Seller Parties determine, in their reasonable good faith judgment and supported by documentation reasonably satisfactory to the
Purchaser, is due to the tender of such claim made in connection with the matter out of which such Damages arose.  If the Seller
Parties determine, in their reasonable good faith judgment, that any matter out of which Damages shall arise is covered by an
insurance policy of a Seller Indemnified Party, then the Seller Parties shall, and shall cause the Seller Indemnified Party to, file a claim
against such insurance policy with respect to such Damages.

	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification with
respect to any Damages under Section 10.2(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Damages
suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties for which indemnification is available under Section 10.2(a)(i)
exceeds the Deductible in Section 10.4 (Deductible and Cap) and then the Seller Indemnified Parties shall
be entitled to indemnification only for such aggregate amount that exceeds the Deductible, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all
payments to which the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive under Section 10.2(a)(i) shall in no
event exceed the Cap.  The limitations set forth in this Section 10.2(c) shall not apply to any breach of a
covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement or
any other agreement, Contract, certificate or other document executed or delivered by or on behalf of any Seller Party in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement.

10.3    Exclusive Remedies.  The parties agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Agreement (except for the last sentence of this Section 10.3), the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase
Agreement or otherwise, from and after the date hereof, the indemnification provisions of this Article X are the sole
and exclusive remedies of the parties pursuant to this Agreement, the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, or in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for (a) claims arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation and (b) any
equitable remedies that do not involve the payment of monetary damages.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Article X, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, the parties hereby waive all other rights, claims, remedies or
actions with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or the Non-Vertebroplasty

Purchase Agreement or arising in
connection herewith or therewith, whether under any Laws or otherwise.  Except as expressly provided in this Article
X, no right, claim, remedy or action shall be brought or maintained by any party, and no recourse shall be brought or granted
against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misstatement or omission respecting an inaccuracy in or breach of any of
the representations, warranties or covenants, agreements or other obligations of any of the parties hereto set forth or contained in this
Agreement or the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
10.3, the provisions of this Section 10.3  shall not apply to any claim by Purchaser against the Seller Parties
based upon a failure of the Seller Parties to transfer any of the Acquired Assets pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

	10% of the sum of (i) any amounts paid by or on behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.5 of the
Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement plus (ii) the amount of all Deferred Payments actually received by the Seller
Parties pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof plus (iii) the amount of any payments withheld in
accordance with Section 10.8 hereof; less


	the amount of any payments made to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties by or on behalf of the Seller Parties in respect of
their indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article X .

10.5    Survival of Indemnification Obligations.  The indemnification obligations set forth in this
Article X with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the
Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement shall terminate on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the date of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the

indemnification obligations with respect to the representations and warranties contained
in the first sentence of Section 3.1 (Organization of the Company and the Subsidiary), the first four sentences
of 3.3(a) (Authority), 3.4 (Tax Matters), the first two sentences of  Section 3.6
(Title to Property and Assets), 3.13 (Governmental Authorizations and Regulations) and 3.19
(Governmental Grants) of both this Agreement and the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; and provided further, that the indemnification obligations with respect to
the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.14 (Compliance with Environmental Obligations) of
both this Agreement and the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement shall terminate on the date that is the three-year anniversary of
the date hereof.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, indemnification obligations set forth in this Article X with
respect to any breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement shall
survive the time at which they would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Section 10.5, if notice of (i) the
inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such obligations, (ii) the aggregate amount of such Damages or an estimate thereof, in
each case to the extent known or determinable at such time, and (iii) reasonable detail of the individual items of such Damages
included in the amount so stated and the date, if known, each such item arose shall have been given to the party against whom such
indemnity may be sought prior to such time.  The expiration of the survival period of any representation or warranty shall not constitute
a waiver of any party's right to assert fraud or any claim based on intentional misrepresentation.  The indemnification obligations set
forth in this Article X with respect to any breach of a covenant, agreement or other obligation to be performed after
the Closing shall survive the Closing (under this Agreement and the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, as applicable)

until such covenant, agreement or other obligation is performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Non-Vertebroplasty
Purchase Agreement, as applicable.


10.6    Terms and Conditions of Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.



	Any party seeking indemnification must give the other party prompt notice of the claim for Damages (i) stating the aggregate
amount of the Damages or an estimate thereof, in each case to the extent known or determinable at such time, and (ii) specifying
in reasonable detail the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or
properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach or claim to which such item is related.  The failure of any
indemnified party to give prompt notice pursuant to this Section 10.6 shall not affect rights to indemnification
hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced thereby.  Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence or anything else contained herein to the contrary, no party shall be entitled to any indemnification if such party
failed to send a notice of a claim for Damages with respect to any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, agreement or other
obligation contained in this Agreement or the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement or made in connection therewith prior to the
time at which such representation, warranty or covenant, agreement or other obligation terminates pursuant to
Section 10.5.


	The respective obligations and liabilities of the parties to indemnify pursuant to this Article X in respect of any
Damages arising from a claim by a third party shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:



	The indemnifying party shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, the defense, compromise, and settlement of such claim.

OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED. 





Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller
Parties shall not have any rights to assume the defense of any claim by a third party which involves (A) an amount in excess of the
amount by which the Cap exceeds the aggregate amount of all claims for Damages pending under this Article X,
and/or (B) any equitable remedies that do not involve the payment of monetary damages; provided, however, that (x)
the resolution of such claim shall not be binding upon the Seller Parties for purposes of their indemnification obligations hereunder, and
(y) at the Seller Parties' discretion, and without limiting the effect of clause (x), the Seller Parties may participate in the defense,
compromise or settlement of such claim. 



	In the event that the indemnifying party shall elect not to undertake such defense, or within thirty (30) days after notice of any such
claim from the indemnified party shall fail to defend, the indemnified party (upon further written notice to the indemnifying party) shall
have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim, by counsel or other representatives of its own
choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party.


	Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.6 to the contrary, (A) if there is a reasonable probability
that a claim may materially and adversely affect the indemnified party other than as a result of money damages or other money
payments, the indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, compromise or
settlement of the claim, (B) the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's written consent, settle or compromise
any claim or consent to entry of any judgment

(1) that involves the payment of money in excess of the Cap (if the Cap is applicable to such claim) or (2) which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claiming party or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect
of such claim, and (B) in the event that the indemnifying party undertakes defense of any claim, the indemnified party by counsel
or other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with the indemnifying party
and its counsel or other representatives concerning such claim and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and their
respective counsel or other representatives shall cooperate with respect to such claim, subject to the execution and delivery of a
mutually satisfactory joint defense agreement.



	If the indemnifying party shall object in writing to any claim or claims by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party,
as the case may be, then such Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have 

thirty (30) days from the receipt of such objection to respond in a written statement to the objection.  If after such thirty (30) day period
there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree
upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims, failing which, either may refer the matter to a court of
competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 11.7.

10.7    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  To the extent permitted by Law,
indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement shall constitute
adjustments to the Purchase Price under the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement and to the Deferred Payments hereunder, and shall be

treated as such by Purchaser and the Seller Parties on their Tax Returns, in each case unless otherwise agreed in writing.  To
the extent indemnity payments relate to Damages denominated in a currency other than United States Dollars, such indemnity
payments shall be calculated in United States Dollars at the United States Dollar exchange rate in effect for such currency on the date
of actual payment with respect to the Acquired Assets located in the country giving rise to the claim for indemnity, as reasonably agreed
to by the Seller Parties and Purchaser.


10.8    Limited Right to Setoff Against or Withhold Deferred Payments.



	Except as expressly provided under this Section 10.8 or the promissory note delivered in connection with the
Transition Services Agreement, neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of the Purchaser shall, in full or partial satisfaction of any
payment obligation owed by Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser to the Seller Parties or their Affiliates, withhold payment from,
and/or have any right of setoff against, any amounts otherwise due from a Seller Party or any of their Affiliates under this Agreement,
the Non-Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement or otherwise.  


	Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 10.8(a) to the contrary, the Purchaser may withhold a payment
obligation owed to a Seller Party pursuant to Section 2.5(a) in an amount not to exceed the Permitted Withholding
Amount (as defined below) if (i) it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in
accordance with Section 11.7 (a "Final Judgment"), or a written agreement of the
parties, prior to the date that such Deferred Payment is due pursuant to Section 2.5 that a Purchaser Indemnified
Party is entitled to indemnification from the Seller Parties pursuant to this Article X in respect of any Excess Damages
(as defined below), and/or (ii) the Purchaser has asserted in good faith and pursuant to a pending bona fide claim with respect
thereto made pursuant to Section 10.6(a) prior to the date such Deferred Payment is due pursuant to

Section
2.5, that the Seller Parties are obligated to indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Article X.




	"Permitted Withholding Amount" means, at the time of such determination, (i) with respect to claims
of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 10.1(a)(i) of this Agreement (other than claims
with respect to any breach of the Representations Not Subject to Cap), an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the sum of (I) the
amount of any Excess Damages with respect to which the Purchaser Indemnified Party has not received payment (whether through
payment made by or on behalf of a Seller Party or through the offset by the Purchaser of any portion of Excess Damages against
Deferred Payments pursuant to Section 10.8(d)) plus (II) the good faith bona fide estimate by
Purchaser of the Damages indemnifiable under this Article X with respect to any claim asserted pursuant to
Section 10.8(b)(ii) the outcome of which either has not been determined by a Final Judgment or has been determined
by a Final Judgment after the immediately preceding Deferred Payment becomes due and payable hereunder, and (B) an amount
equal to the Cap, and (ii) with respect to claims of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for indemnification with respect to breaches of the
Representations Not Subject to Cap or under Sections 10.1(a)(ii), 10.1(a)(iii) or
10.1(a)(iv), the sum of (A) the amount of any Excess Damages with respect to which the Purchaser Indemnified Party
has not received payment (whether through payment made by or on behalf of a Seller Party or through the offset by the Purchaser of
any portion of Excess Damages against Deferred Payments pursuant to Section 10.8(d)) plus (II) the
good faith bona fide estimate by Purchaser of the Damages indemnifiable under this Article X with respect to
any claim asserted pursuant to Section 10.8(b)(ii) the outcome of which either has not been determined by a Final Judgment or

has been determined by a Final Judgment after the immediately preceding Deferred Payment becomes due and payable
hereunder.  



	If, prior to the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (i) it is determined by a Final Judgment or by written agreement of the
parties that a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the Seller Parties, and (ii) the amount of Damages in
respect of such claim for which such Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled exceeds the Cap in effect on the date of such
determination (such excess, the "Excess Damages"), then the amount of such Excess Damages may be
carried over until the time or times that one or more subsequent Deferred Payments are due, at which point the Purchaser may set off
against such Deferred Payments such portion of the Excess Damages for which no set off has theretofore been made by an amount
not to exceed the then-prevailing Permitted Withholding Amount.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 2.5(b)
to the contrary, no Deferred Payments shall be accelerated if any amount of a Deferred Payment is withheld pursuant to this
Section 10.8(d).


	If it is determined by a Final Judgment that no Purchaser Indemnified Party was entitled to indemnification with respect to a claim
against which the Purchaser withheld payment pursuant to Section 10.8(b)(ii) or that the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties were not entitled to the entire amount so withheld, then the Purchaser shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business
Days of the date of such determination, pay the Seller Parties an amount equal to that portion that was improperly withheld plus interest
on the amount thereof from the date such payment was otherwise initially due pursuant to Section 2.5 until paid at the
rate of eight percent (8%) per annum or the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable Law, whichever is less; provided,
however, that upon the failure of the Purchaser to pay such amounts within such five (5) Business Day period, all remaining
Deferred Payments shall immediately

become due and payable in accordance with Section 2.5(b).  Notwithstanding
anything set forth in Section 2.5(b) to the contrary, no Deferred Payments shall be accelerated if any amount of a
Deferred Payment is withheld pursuant to Section 10.8(b)(ii), unless and until it is determined by a Final Judgment
that the Purchaser is entitled to receive an amount in respect of such claim that is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the amount
withheld pursuant to Section 10.8(b)(ii), in which case all remaining Deferred Payments shall immediately become
due and payable in accordance with Section 2.5(b).

	Each party hereto waives any claim of consequential damages from the other.

of this Agreement.

unenforceable under any present or future Law or regulation, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement

construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision

unenforceable provision as may be possible.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
of this Agreement or other agreement between the parties shall affect the validity and enforceability of Section 2.5
and the obligation of Purchaser to make the Deferred Payments thereunder.
