|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | Section 7.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.3 Termination Without Cause by CryoCor or Resignation With Good Reason By Barold/Severance. CryoCor may terminate Barolds employment
under this Agreement without Cause or Barold may resign from her employment under this Agreement at any time, with or without advance notice. In the event of such termination or in the event of a resignation by Barold from her employment under this
Agreement with Good Reason (as defined below), Barold will receive the Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination, and continuation of her Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months, payable in accordance with
CryoCors regular payroll cycle, provided that Barold: (a) complies with all surviving provisions of this Agreement as specified in subsection 13.8 below; and (b) executes a Release (as defined in Section 7.5 below). All
other CryoCor obligations to Barold will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished. For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall mean, with respect to Barold, any one or more of the following: (a) without
Barolds express written consent, a material diminution in Barolds authority, duties or responsibilities; (b) without Barolds express written consent, the relocation of the principal place of Barolds service to a location
that would increase her one-way commute from her personal residence to the new principal place of work by more than 50 miles, or the imposition of travel requirements substantially more demanding of Barold than such travel requirements existing
immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control; (c) any failure by the Company or its Affiliates to pay, or any material reduction of Barolds base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control (unless
reductions comparable in amount and duration are concurrently made for all



---

other employees of the Company and its Affiliates with responsibilities, organizational level and title comparable to Barolds); or (d) any breach
by the Company or its Affiliates of any agreement under which Barold provides services to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Barold shall have Good Reason for her resignation only if: (a) Barold notifies the Company in
writing, within 30 days after the occurrence of one of the foregoing events, that she intends to terminate her employment no earlier than 30 days after providing such notice; (b) the Company does not cure such condition within 30 days following
its receipt of such notice or states unequivocally in writing that it does not intend to attempt to cure such condition; and (c) Barold resigns from employment within 30 days following the end of the period within which the Company was entitled
to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason but failed to do so. The Board shall have the right to determine whether a resignation by Barold was for Good Reason and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. For purposes of this
Agreement, Affiliate means, with respect to any specific entity, any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified entity.



|3. | Section 7.6 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.6 Application of Code Section 409A. If Barold is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code, any compensation and benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement that are triggered by a separation from service shall be accelerated to the minimum extent necessary so that (i) the lesser of (A) the total cash severance
payment amount, or (B) six months of such installment payments are paid no later than March 15 of the calendar year following such termination, and (ii) all amounts paid pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) will constitute
separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and thus will be payable pursuant to the short-term deferral rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. It is
intended that if Barold is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of such separation from service the foregoing provision shall result in compliance with the requirements of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code because payments to Barold will either be payable pursuant to the short-term deferral rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations or will not be paid until at least
six months after separation from service.



|4. | Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5. | This Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California. Each party consents to the jurisdiction and venue of
the state or federal courts in San Diego, California, if applicable, in any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|6. | This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
