      WHEREAS, UFTB and Danek each acknowledge that the processing and use of
human tissue for human transplantation purposes is in the public interest and in
the interest of medicine generally and that the entering into of this Agreement
will enhance these interests through facilitating the availability of processed

and thereby advancing the medical and scientific application thereof.

      WHEREAS, UFTB and Danek each desire that UFTB (i) process allograft bone
and/or tissue for use in spinal and cranial medical procedures (the "Current

with the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein. A list of all

      WHEREAS, UFTB and Danek each desire that all UFTB Products processed for
distribution throughout the world (the "Territory") shall be subject to Danek's
management services.
<PAGE>

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
contained herein, Danek and UFTB hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                             COMMITMENTS AND LICENSE

      Section 1.1 Exclusive Commitments. UFTB hereby agrees to exclusively
permit Danek to perform Management Services (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof)
in connection with all UFTB Products processed and distributed by UFTB in the

                                   ARTICLE II

                                  UFTB PRODUCTS

      Section 2.1 UFTB Product Specifications. All Current Products to be
distributed by UFTB using Danek's Management Services (as defined in Section 3.1
hereof) shall conform to and otherwise comply with the specifications set forth
in Schedule 2.1 hereto, as such Schedule 2.1 may be amended from time to time by
mutual written agreement of the parties (the "UFTB Product Specifications"). If
any UFTB Product that is not a Current Product is distributed by UFTB pursuant
to this Agreement, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to amend
Schedule 2.1 as provided in the preceding sentence to set forth the
specifications for such UFTB Product, and such UFTB Product shall conform to and
otherwise comply with the UFTB Product Specifications. If regulatory approval is
found to be required for any part or all of the UFTB Product Specifications in
any country located in the Territory and should such regulatory approval be
refused, modified or withdrawn by the applicable regulatory authorities in the
Territory, UFTB shall promptly notify Danek of such refusal, modification or
withdrawal and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend appropriately
the UFTB Product Specifications; provided, however, that in the event of any
such refusal, modification or withdrawal, UFTB may refuse to process or
distribute the affected UFTB Product, and/or Danek may refuse to provide
Management Services in connection with such UFTB Product, pending the resolution
of such regulatory matter. In the event of any such refusal, modification or
withdrawal, UFTB shall use its best efforts to favorably and promptly resolve
such regulatory matter, which best efforts shall include, but not be limited to,
full communication to Danek of all information and correspondence, except for
materials subject to the attorney-client


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

privilege, relating to any issues raised by such refusal, modification or
withdrawal and full participation with Danek in connection with the resolution
of such regulatory matter.

      Section 2.2 UFTB Products Warranties.

      (a) Compliance With Laws and Specifications. UFTB warrants that the UFTB
Products will be processed, packaged, stored and shipped (i) biomechanically
suitable for use in cranial and spinal medical procedures in which human tissue
is needed to replace human tissue and (ii) in conformity in all respects with
all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating
thereto, including particularly the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the
National Organ Transplant Act, the Guidelines of the American Association of
Tissue Banks (the "Guidelines") and the UFTB Product Specifications pursuant to
Section 2.1 hereof UFTB warrants that the packaging of UFTB Products will be in
conformity in all respects with the Packaging Specifications described in
Section 3.5 hereof.

      (b) Authority; Licenses. UFTB further warrants that it is fully authorized
to enter into and perform this Agreement, that the UFTB Products and any manuals
prepared by UFTB in connection with the UFTB Products and made available to
recipients of the UFTB Products (the "UFTB Customers") will not violate or
infringe upon any common law or statutory rights of any third party, and that
UFTB is the owner of all rights in and to the UFTB Mark. To the extent that UFTB
has proprietary rights in any form of intellectual property that may relate to
the performance of the Management Services by Danek, UFTB grants a non-exclusive
license with respect to such rights so as to permit all such activity. This
express license grant shall not be construed to limit implied licenses otherwise
granted to Danek or UFTB's customers under applicable law.


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

      (c) Incorporated Materials. UFTB warrants that it has full right and
authority to incorporate all materials (e.g., human tissue) into the UFTB
Products and that such raw materials shall be in full compliance with all
applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, the Guidelines
and with the UFTB Product Specifications.

      Section 2.3 Processing Capacity.

      (a) UFTB Current Products. Schedule 2.3 sets forth UFTB's current as well
as projected processing capacity for each of the Current Products by UFTB, in
terms of the number of units that may be processed, packaged and delivered by
UFTB per month. The projected processing capacity shows UFTB's anticipated
expanded process capacity after upgrading its processing systems upon receipt of
the Initial Exclusivity Fee pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof.

      (b) Other UFTB Products. If any UFTB Product that is not a Current Product
is processed pursuant to this Agreement, the parties hereto shall amend Schedule
2.3 by mutual agreement to set forth the information required by Section 2.3(a)
with respect to such product, and using, to the extent reasonably practicable
and appropriate, the capacity information with respect to the Current Product as
to which such product is an extension.

      (a) Danek's Rights and Responsibilities. Danek shall have the exclusive
responsibility to facilitate the distribution of the UFTB Products to UFTB

transfer of information concerning the UFTB Products between the parties (the
"UFTB Product System"), which UFTB Product System shall be subject to Danek's
standard license agreement, (ii) the provision, either through employees, or
agents of Danek of customer service to UFTB Customers (e.g., responding to
questions UFTB customers may have concerning how the UFTB Products were
processed and the various surgical applications for which they are designed),
(iii) the facilitation of the shipment of UFTB Products to UFTB Customers in
accordance with Sections 3.1(c) and 3.2 hereof and (iv) the marketing of the
aforementioned Management Services, which marketing may be combined with
marketing for separate Danek product lines and services; provided, however, that
the UFTB Products will be distributed by UFTB separately from any Danek
distributed products. Upon mutual agreement of the parties and subject to
separate written agreements, Danek may also provide UFTB Product design,
professional management information system and computer programming and
installation Support services. Danek reserves the right to develop, at its sole
discretion, non-exclusive management arrangements for the UFTB Products with
selected third parties which third parties will provide Management Services

            (A)   a monthly forecast for each month of the three-month period
                  (months one, two and three) beginning with the month following
                  the month in which the forecast is delivered (the "First Three
                  Months Forecast") setting forth Danek's estimate of the
                  quantity of units of each UFTB Product for which a market
                  opportunity exists in each month covered by the forecast;

            (B)   a quarterly forecast for the three-month period (months four,
                  five and six) following the months covered in the First Three
                  Months Forecast (the "Second Quarter Forecast") setting forth
                  Danek's estimate of the quantity of units of each UFTB Product
                  for which a market opportunity exists in the quarter covered
                  by the forecast;

            (C)   a quarterly forecast for the three-month period (months seven,
                  eight and nine) following the quarter covered in the Second
                  Quarter Forecast (the "Third Quarter Forecast") setting forth
                  Danek's estimate of the quantity of units of each UFTB Product
                  for which a market opportunity exists in the quarter covered

                  eleven and twelve) following the quarter covered in the Third
                  Quarter Forecast (the "Fourth Quarter Forecast") setting forth
                  Danek's estimate of the quantity of units of each UFTB Product
                  for which a market opportunity exists in the quarter covered
                  by the forecast.

      UFTB shall be required to provide to UFTB Customers 100% of the quantity
of the requirements of each UFTB Product forecasted for each month of the First
Three Months Forecast. The quantity of UFTB Products set forth in the Second
Quarter Forecast, the Third Quarter Forecast and the Fourth Quarter Forecast,
shall be for informational purposes only and shall not bind the parties in any
way; provided, that UFTB shall use its best efforts to supply quantities of UFTB
Product required by UFTB Customers in excess of quantities set forth in the
forecasts.

            (iii) UFTB's Non-Compliance with Forecast. UFTB shall notify Danek

units of UFTB Products that


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Danek forecasted under any First Three Months Forecast. In such case, UFTB will
assist Danek to develop or find an alternate source of the affected UFTB Product
for the time period during which UFTB is unable to supply the affected UFTB
Product.

      (c) Procedures for Receiving UFTB Customer Instructions. Danek shall be
responsible for receiving UFTB Customers' shipping instructions containing
shipping requirements for the UFTB Products sought to be obtained by such UFTB
Customers (the "UFTB Customer Instructions") throughout the Territory in
accordance with Section 3.2 hereof UFTB will maintain records of its transfers
of the UFTB Products in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

      (d) Distribution of UFTB Products. Danek will use its best efforts to
actively support the distribution and use of the UFTB Product consistent with
Danek's standards. Danek shall offer commission rates to Danek's agents and
independent representatives with respect to the UFTB Products distributed to
UFTB Customers as the result of Danek's Management Services hereunder equal to
or greater than the commission rates offered to such agents and independent
representatives on any product that Danek may then be marketing that is deemed
by Danek to be a device that competes with the UFTB Products, it being
understood that any device that is listed in Danek's current catalogue is not a
device that competes with the UFTB Products.

      (e) No Warranties. In connection with its provision of Management
Services, Danek agrees that it will give no warranties or representations as to
the UFTB Products on behalf of UFTB, including without limitation, as to
quality, durability, merchantability, fitness for a particular use or purpose or
any other features of the UFTB Products being distributed by UFTB pursuant to
UFTB Customer Instructions. To ensure Danek's compliance with this Section
3.1(e), Danek shall, prior to publication, deliver, for UFTB's review,
advertising or other materials associated with the


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

distribution of the UFTB Products or the use of the UFTB Mark or the
relationship between Danek and UFTB or The University of Florida and Danek and
not previously published by Danek. If UFTB responds within forty eight (48)
hours (excluding weekends and holidays) of UFTB's receipt of such proposed
materials with reasonable requests for amending the materials to ensure Danek's
compliance with this Section 3.1(e) or with an appropriate description of
Danek's relationship between UFTB or The University of Florida, Danek shall
endeavor to incorporate those changes. If UFTB either approves the materials or
fails to respond within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of the materials
sought to be approved, Danek will be free to use the materials as originally
provided to UFTB.


      (f) Forfeiture of Exclusivity. If during the Contract Year (as defined in
Section 3.3(b) hereof) ending June 30, 1999, or any Contract Year ending after
that date, the total quantity of UFTB Products subject to Instructions is less
than [*****], Danek would forfeit its exclusivity to provide Management
Services for the following Contract Year. All other rights, terms and conditions
of this Agreement would continue in force. However, if Danek's exclusivity to
provide Management Services is forfeited under this paragraph for two
consecutive years, UFTB shall have, as its remedy, the fight to terminate the
Agreement upon one hundred eighty (180) calendar days written notice.


      Section 3.2 Ordering and Shipping Procedures.

      (a) Submission of UFTB Customer Instructions with Danek. UFTB Customers
shall submit UFTB Customer Instructions for UFTB Products with Danek in Danek's
role as exclusive Management Services provider. To the extent that an UFTB
Customer requests information concerning the purchase, sale or service of UFTB
Products from UFTB directly, UFTB will direct


[CONFIDENTIAL]
                                      -9-
<PAGE>

such inquiry to Danek's customer service telephone number, which number shall be
answered by a Danek customer service representative at Danek's headquarters in
Memphis Tennessee. If Danek's customer service representative determines that
the inquiry involves a service question that may be handled more expeditiously
by one of Danek's independent agents rather than through Danek's headquarters
office, (i.e., because of geographic proximity, expertise, etc.) that inquiry
will be directed to that agent. In the case of a customer seeking to receive
UFTB Products, the representative will verify, via the UFTB Product System (as
defined in Section 3.1 (a)(i) above), inventory availability, pricing and
shipment details for the UFTB Products ordered by the UFTB Customer.

      (b) Receipt and Resubmission of UFTB Customer Instructions by Danek. Upon
receipt of UFTB Customer Instructions, Danek shall cause, via the UFTB Product
System, such UFTB Customer Instructions to print at the UFTB Facility, which
UFTB shall accept; provided however, that UFTB may refuse acceptance of the UFTB
Customer Instructions, (i) if UFTB has experienced an event of force majeure
pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof, but only to the extent the event of force
majeure results in the inability of UFTB to supply UFTB Products, or (ii) to the
extent the UFTB Customer Instructions require quantities in excess of quantities
that UFTB is obligated to provide pursuant to Section 3.1(b) under the then
prevailing forecasts provided by Danek pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof,
provided, however that in the event of a refusal of acceptance of UFTB Customer
Instructions under this clause (ii), such refusal shall be limited to the extent
of such excess and UFTB shall, in accordance with provisions of Section 3.1(b)
hereof, use its best efforts to provide the products and quantities so ordered.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>

      (c) Contents and Priority of UFTB Customer Instructions. The UFTB
Customers Instructions submitted by Danek to UFTB in accordance with Section
3.2(b) shall set forth the quantity of units of each UFTB Product required to be
shipped by UFTB to UFTB Customers, and the date (or dates) by which such
deliveries are requested by the UFTB Customer to be made. Such UFTB Customer
Instructions may be submitted by UFTB Customers only in accordance with Section
3.2(a) hereof Danek agrees that UFTB Customer Instructions relating to Current
Products that are submitted by physicians practicing in hospitals affiliated
with the University of Florida shall be granted priority over other UFTB
Customers if shortages of such Current Products exist; provided, however, that
UFTB shall be required to first fulfill any preexisting commitments as the
result of UFTB Customer Instructions submitted by other UFTB Customers before
granting such priority.

      (d) Effect of UFTB Customer Instructions. In no event shall the use of any
form of UFTB Customer Instructions, invoice, shipping document, confirmation or
waybill be effective to vary, alter, modify or substitute for the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. All UFTB Customer Instructions shall be subject
to, and shall be deemed to incorporate, all terms and conditions of this
Agreement, which may be amended or waived only in accordance with Sections 7.2
and 7.6 hereof, respectively.

      (e) Acknowledgment of UFTB Customer Instructions. All UFTB Customer
Instructions placed by Danek pursuant to this Agreement shall be accepted by
UFTB within ten calendar days, except to the extent acceptance of any UFTB
Customer Instructions is refused pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof. In such
acceptance, or by other advance communication, which shall be communicated via
the UFTB Product System, UFTB shall notify Danek of (i) the anticipated date


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

of release for shipment of the UFTB Products related to the particular UFTB
Customer Instructions, and (ii) the date of shipment of the UFTB Products
related to the particular UFTB Customer Instructions. Upon the Shipment of UFTB
Products subject to UFTB Customer Instructions, UFTB shall provide Danek with a
copy of the invoice sent to the UFTB Customer, which invoice shall set forth (i)
the amount invoiced for each UFTB Product subject to the UFTB Customer
Instructions, (ii) the quantity of each UFTB Product subject to the UFTB
Customer Instructions and (iii) a reference to the fact that Danek is acting on
behalf of UFTB as a Management Service Provider and as such any questions
regarding the UFTB Products subject to UFTB Customer Instructions should be
directed to Danek. Danek shall guarantee the payment of all invoices sent to
UFTB Customers (other than physicians practicing in hospitals affiliated with
the University of Florida) for UFTB Products subject to UFTB Customer
Instructions. If Danek is unable to collect payment from UFTB Customers for such
invoices within one (1) year of the date of shipment of applicable UFTB Products
subject to UFTB Customer Instructions, Danek shall remit payment of such invoice
to UFTB, less the appropriate Management Services fees owed to Danek.

      (g) Failure to Meet Shipping Schedule. If UFTB discovers that it will be
unable to meet the required shipping schedule as set forth in any UFTB Customer
Instructions for any UFTB Product, UFTB shall promptly notify Danek. If UFTB
reasonably believes that such inability will result in a failure to deliver such
UFTB Product within 30 days of the required shipping date (as set forth in such
UFTB Customer Instructions), UFTB will assist Danek to develop or find an
alternate source of such UFTB Product for the time period during which UFTB is
unable to supply the UFTB Product.

and shall be used only for purposes of fulfilling UFTB's obligations under
this Agreement and for no other purpose.


      Section 3.4 Management Services Fees to be Paid by UFTB.

      (a) Amount of Management Services Fees. The management fees to be paid to
Danek by UFTB for the Management Services provided hereunder (the "Management
Services Fees") shall be payable with respect to all UFTB Customer Instructions
submitted by Danek to UFTB according to the following:

            (i)   For Contract Years beginning on the date of this Agreement and
                  ending prior to July 1, 1992, the Management Services Fee
                  shall be eighty percent (80%) of the actual net invoiced
                  amount (as determined in accordance with Section 3.4(c)) from
                  UFTB to UFTB Customers for the particular UFTB Products
                  subject to UFTB Customer Instructions submitted by Danek to
                  UFTB during such Contract Years;

            (ii)  For Contract Years commencing after June 30, 1998, the
                  Management Services Fee shall be seventy percent (70%) of the
                  actual net invoiced amount from UFTB to UFTB Customers for the
                  particular UFTB Products subject to UFTB Customer Instructions
                  submitted by Danek to UFTB during such Contract Years. For
                  each Contract Year commencing after June 30, 1998, Danek will
                  guarantee UFTB that the actual net invoiced amount from


[CONFIDENTIAL]
                                      -13-
<PAGE>


                  to UFTB Customers for UFTB Products subject to UFTB Customer
                  Instructions submitted by Danek to Danek during such Contract
                  Year less the Management Services Fee payable in connection
                  with such UFTB Products will equal [*****] of such UFTB
                  Products or Danek will refund the difference to UFTB from
                  the Management Services Fees.


      (b) Contract Year. For purposes of this Agreement, "Contract Year" shall
mean each consecutive twelve-month period beginning on July 1 and ending June 30
during the term of this Agreement.

      (c) Net Invoiced Amount. As the Exclusive Management Services provide to
UFTB, Danek will maintain a unique relationship with the market place for UFTB
Products and is therefore obligated to consult with UFTB on establishing and
publishing the net invoiced amount for Current Products to be paid by UFTB
Customers. Likewise any new UFTB Product that is not a Current Product will have
its net invoiced amount established by UFTB after consultation with Danek.
Changes in net invoiced amounts for any UFTB Product may be modified during the
term of this Agreement upon the mutual agreement of the parties.

      (d) Full Processing Costs. "Full Processing Costs" for each unit of the
Current Products are set forth on Schedule 3.4(d) hereto. Full Processing Cost
is defined as the sum of direct processing costs, plus an appropriate share of
applicable indirect processing cost. Full Processing Cost is the cost at which
completed Current Product should be carried in inventory by UFTB. It is also the
cost that should be recorded as cost of transfer when Current Products are
distributed by UFTB to UFTB Customers.


[CONFIDENTIAL]
                                      -14-
<PAGE>

      Direct processing cost includes direct labor and direct material costs.
Direct labor cost is defined as all labor directly associated with transforming
or adding value to the Current Products. Such labor includes fabrication,
processing, process or machine tending, assembly, packaging, and on line
inspection labor. Direct material cost is defined as direct material that
becomes a physical part of the cost object and those materials that are consumed
during processing that can be specifically identified with that cost object.
Material cost should include packing supplies necessary to deliver goods to
customers.

      Indirect processing cost are costs which cannot be specifically identified
with a single cost object in an economically feasible manner. Indirect
processing cost includes such costs as indirect labor, repairs and maintenance,
indirect materials and supplies, depreciation, insurance, and property taxes.
Indirect processing cost also may be referred to as processing overhead.

      Costs incurred by UFTB from affiliates of UFTB shall only be included
within the Full Processing Costs to the extent of actual direct cost of such
affiliate notwithstanding any other pricing arrangement between UFTB and such
affiliate. If any UFTB Product that is not a Current Product is processed
pursuant to this Agreement, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to
amend Schedule 3.4(d) by mutual agreement to set forth the Full Processing Costs
for each unit of such product and using, to the extent reasonably practicable
and if such UFTB Product is an extension of a Current Product, the Full
Processing Cost information with respect to the Current Product as to which such
UFTB product is an extension.

      On or before May 15, 1998 and on or before May IS in each subsequent
Contract Year, UFTB shall provide in writing to Danek a copy of such Schedule
3.4(d) amended to reflect any increases or reductions in the Full Processing
Cost (calculated in the same manner that Schedule


                                      -15-
<PAGE>

3.4(d) was originally calculated) for the next Contract Year, and shall provide
Danek with detailed cost analysis, including supporting schedules, together with
justifiable assumptions relating to increases or decreases in costs which would
support changes in the costs set forth on such Schedule for the then current
Contract Year. Each party expects, and UFTB will use its best efforts to ensure,
that the average percentage increase in such direct costs will not exceed the
percentage increase of the Index (as defined below) in the corresponding period
of time. The "Index" shall mean the Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics,
Producer Price Index, Pharmaceutical Preparations, Proprietary
(Over-the-Counter) -- 0636 Commodity Code.

      In the event that either Danek or UFTB discovers or develops a more
efficient manner of processing an UFTB Product, and such manner of processing
would or is reasonably likely to result in a reduction of Direct Processing Cost
associated with such product, each party will notify the other of such manner of
processing, and at the request of Danek, UFTB will use its best efforts to
utilize such manner of processing. Reductions in the cost of processing such
UFTB Product will be directly reflected in reductions in Full Processing Costs.

      (e) Danek's Audit Rights. UFTB shall keep complete and accurate books and
records in connection with the calculation of Full Processing Costs for the UFTB
Products as well as for verifying the amounts invoiced by UFTB to UFTB Customers
for UFTB Products. Danek shall be permitted access to such books and records
during normal business hours and upon reasonable business hours during the term
of this Agreement in order to verify UFTB's compliance with the terms of the
Agreement and to permit Danek to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, determining the identities of any UFTB Customer
that fails to pay payment of invoices so that Danek can guarantee UFTB Customer
payments to UFTB in accordance


                                      -16-
<PAGE>

with Section 3.2(e) hereof Danek shall have the right (no more often than once
yearly and in any event within three years after the close of the month to which
the audit relates) to have an audit performed during normal business hours and
upon reasonable notice to UFTB of such books and records by an independent
certified public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the parties for the sole
purpose of verifying the correct and accurate payment of Management Service Fees
which shall be the sole matter reported by such accounting firm to Danek. The
fees and expenses of the accounting firm performing such verification shall be
borne by Danek, except in the event that Full Processing Costs are overstated by
more than $100,000 for such year or in the event that the actual net invoiced
amounts are understated by more than $100,000 for such year, whereupon such fees
and expenses shall be borne by UFTB. UFTB shall within 60 days of the results of
such audit provide for payment of amounts which are overpaid, unless a bona fide
dispute exists as to the results of such audit.

      (f) Payments in U.S. Dollars. All payments required by this Agreement
shall be made in United States Dollars.

      (g) UFTB Customer Payments. Payment terms related to shipments of UFTB
Products to UFTB Customers shall be net 30 days from the later of the date of
invoice or the date of shipment.

      (h) Management Services Fee Payments. Payment to Danek by UFTB of
Management Service Fees shall be made within ten (10) days from UFTB's receipt
of payment of an invoice during the term of this Agreement with respect to UFTB
Customers Instructions submitted by Danek.

      Section 3.5 Packaging Specifications. UFTB shall supply all packaging and
labeling information and designs, including without limitation all artwork and
pharmacological information, usage instructions and warnings to be applied to
each UFTB Product (the "Packaging


                                      -17-
<PAGE>

Specifications"). Specifically, the Packaging Specifications shall include the
requirement that each UFTB Product be hermetically sealed or vacuum sealed with
bottle and stopper after processing. Once a UFTB Product is supplied and
initially packaged by UFTB, Danek will not, without UFTB's concurrence, remove,
alter or modify any Packaging Specifications of such UFTB Product except in the
case of Danek's own internal use.

      Section 3.6 Delivery; Right to Use.

      (a) Shipping. Danek shall issue customer shipping instructions to UFTB for
the UFTB Product in accordance with the UFTB Customer Instructions, using
Danek's or the UFTB Customer's choice of carriers FOB at the plant at which the
UFTB Product is processed.

      (b) Certificate of Analysis. At the time of shipment by UFTB of any UFTB
Product processed by UFTB pursuant to UFTB Customer Instructions, a Certificate
of Analysis (as defined herein) shall be delivered to Danek at the address set
forth in Section 7.8 hereof and to the UFTB Customer along with the invoice
delivered in connection with such shipment of UFTB Product. A "Certificate of
Analysis" is a certificate, signed on behalf of UFTB, certifying that the
shipped UFTB Product conforms to the UFTB Product Specifications and the UFTB
Product Warranties set forth in Section 2.2 hereof, and providing the results of
the tests that demonstrate that such product so conforms.

      (c) Right to Use. All right to use and risk of loss to any UFTB Product
shall pass to the UFTB Customer upon a common carrier accepting possession or
control of such UFTB Product.

      Section 3.7 Rejected Product.

      (a) Procedure for Rejection. Within thirty (30) days after a UFTB
Customer's receipt of any shipment of UFTB Product, Danek shall notify UFTB in
writing if a UFTB Customer chooses


                                      -18-
<PAGE>

to reject all or any part of such shipment of UFTB Product or, failing such
notification, unless such product has a latent defect, the UFTB Customer shall
be deemed to have accepted such shipment for purposes of payment for it. With
respect to latent defects, Danek shall promptly notify UFTB after a UFTB
Customer's discovery thereof, and such UFTB Customer shall have the right to
reject such product. Any notification of rejection should be for valid technical
or packaging reasons and shall state the basis for the rejection. A replacement
shipment of such product so required by a UFTB Customer shall be made by UFTB as
soon as practicable using reasonable efforts (but no later than thirty (30) days
after UFTB receives such notification), or as soon thereafter as the raw
materials are available to UFTB for the processing of such replacement product.
Such replacement product shall be invoiced by UFTB and paid for by the UFTB
Customer at the same fee as was the rejected shipment.

      (b) Effect of Rejection. The UFTB Customer shall not be obligated to pay
and Danek shall not be obligated to guarantee payment for any rejected shipment
of UFTB Product shipped to UFTB Customers which fails to meet the UFTB Product
Specifications or the Packaging Specifications or otherwise breaches the UFTB
Product Warranties set forth in Section 2.2 hereof. The UFTB Customer shall not
be obligated to pay in full and Danek shall not be obligated to guarantee
payment for any shipment of the UFTB Product rejected by a UFTB Customer. UFTB
shall have fifteen (15) days within which to notify Danek and the UFTB Customer
in writing of UFTB's objection to such rejection, and the parties shall
thereafter promptly submit the issue to an independent laboratory in accordance
with subparagraph (c) below.

      (c) Testing to Resolve Conflicting Test Results. If there is a conflict
between the test results of UFTB and the test results of Danek or a UFTB
Customer with respect to any UFTB


                                      -19-
<PAGE>

Product, an adequate sample of same shall be submitted by the party having
possession thereof to an independent laboratory acceptable to both parties for
testing against the UFTB Product Specifications under procedures employed in the
UFTB Product Specifications. The test results obtained by such laboratory shall
be final with respect to the obligations of the UFTB Customer to pay and of
Danek to guarantee payment for such UFTB Product. The fees and expenses of such
laboratory testing shall be borne entirely by the party against whom such
laboratory's findings are made. If the laboratory's findings are in favor of
UFTB, the UFTB Customer shall pay UFTB for the rejected UFTB Products under the
terms listed in Section 3.4 hereto.

      (d) Return or Disposal of Rejected UFTB Products. UFTB shall make
arrangement with Danek for the return or disposal, at UFTB's option, of any
shipment of any rejected UFTB Product. The return shipping charges or disposal
costs for such rejected shipment of Product shall be paid by UFTB and, in the
event of agreement of the parties or a laboratory determination hereunder that
such rejected shipment does meet the UFTB Product Specifications, or in the
event of agreement of the parties that such rejected shipment does meet the
Packaging Specifications, the UFTB Customer shall promptly reimburse UFTB for
such shipping charges or disposal costs.

      (e) No Waiver. No acceptance or rejection of product or determination of
compliance for purposes of this Section 3.7 shall serve to waive any rights
under Article VI.

      Section 3.8 Taxes. Taxes and any and all other tariffs and duties or
excise, sales or use, value added or other taxes or levies imposed upon UFTB in
connection with the process and distribution of the UFTB Products shall be paid
by UFTB.

               RE: Management Services Agreement

Dear Mr. Grooms:

      Please allow this letter to serve as an amendment to the 1996 Management
Services Agreement, as amended on April 21, 1997 ("Agreement") between Sofamor
Danek Group, Inc. ("Sofamor Danek") and the University of Florida Tissue Bank,
Inc. ("UFTB").

Section 3.4(h) of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

      Management Services Fee Payments. Payment to Sofamor Danek by UFTB of
      Management Services Fees shall be made on the sixteenth (16th) day of the
      second month following the month during which UFTB received payment of an
      invoice with respect to UFTB Customer's Instructions submitted by Sofamor
      Danek pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the previous sentence of
      this Section 3.4(h), if the amount of Management Services Fees due to
      Sofamor Danek in any given month during the term of this Agreement exceeds
      the total accounts receivable due and payable to UFTB from UFTB Customers
      ("UFTB Customer Accounts Receivable"), then the amount of the payment
<PAGE>
Mr. Jamie Grooms

Page 2


      required pursuant to this Section 3.4(h) shall be no greater than the UFTB
      Customer Accounts Receivable; provided, however, if at the end of any
      month during the term of the Agreement, UFTB has on hand cash and
      unencumbered cash equivalents greater than One Million Dollars
      ($1,000,000), then the payment by UFTB to Sofamor Danek of Management
      Services Fees on the 16th day of the next calendar month shall be
      increased by the amount that such cash and unencumbered cash equivalents
      exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); provided, however, that during
      the term of this Agreement UFTB shall not be obligated to pay Sofamor
      Danek an amount greater than all of the Management Services Fees owed to
      Sofamor Danek plus interest as specified below, plus any amount required
      to be paid to Sofamor Danek pursuant to Section 3.4(i). In the event that
      on the 16th day of any month during the term of this Agreement UFTB does
      not pay to Sofamor Danek all Management Services Fees due and payable to
      Sofamor Danek, then the unpaid amount of said Management Services Fees
      shall accrue interest on a daily basis at the rate of twelve percent (12%)
      per annum.

      On the 16th day of each month during the term of this Agreement, UFTB
      shall provide the following reports to Sofamor Danek (i) all Management
      Services Fees being paid to Sofamor Danek, together with a listing of all
      UFTB invoice numbers applicable to those Management Services Fees; (ii)
      all unpaid Management Services Fees due to Sofamor Danek from UFTB; (iii)
      all UFTB Customer Accounts Receivable due to UFTB from customers of UFTB
      products; (iv) all cash and unencumbered cash equivalents held by UFTB at
      the end of the previous calendar month; and (v) those required by Section
      3.4(i).

The Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 3.4(i):

      3.4(i). Monthly SR Inventory Service Fee. Each month during the term of
      this Agreement that UFTB completes a SR set forecasted by SDG, Sofamor
      Danek will pay to UFTB an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the
      retail selling price of each such SR set ("Service Fee"). Upon the sale of
      any such SR set or sets, the amount of the Service Fee applicable to such
      SR set or sets shall be refunded to Sofamor Danek by UFTB.

      On the sixteenth (16th) day of any month during the term of this
      Agreement, UFTB shall submit to Sofamor Danek a report that lists (i) all
      SR sets completed during the immediately preceding calendar month, (ii)
      all SR sets sold during the immediately preceding calendar month, (iii)
      the retail selling price of each SR set completed and each SR set sold
      during the immediately preceding calendar month and (iv) the amount of the
      Service Fee to be paid to UFTB and to be refunded to Sofamor Danek for the
      immediately preceding calendar month. If the amount of the Service Fee to
      be paid to UFTB exceeds the amount of the Service Fee to be refunded to
      Sofamor Danek, then the amount of that excess shall reduce the amount of
      the Management Services Fees payable to Sofamor Danek pursuant to Section
      3.4 (h). If the amount of the Service Fee to be refunded to Sofamor Danek
      exceeds the amount of the Service Fee to be paid to UFTB, than the amount
      of that excess shall be added to Management Services Fees payable to
      Sofamor Danek pursuant to Section 3.4(h).

Dear Mr. Grooms:

      Please allow this letter to serve as an amendment to the Management
Services Agreement between Sofamor Danek Group and UFTB ("Agreement"). The
purpose of this amendment will be to recognize UFTB's right to reimbursement for
the following items:

      1.    UFTB's actual cost for product liability and general liability
            insurance that is attributable to the Management Services Fees
            portion of UFTB revenues.

      2.    The State of Florida tissue bank fee/tax of .005 that is
            attributable to the Management Services Fees portion of UFTB
            revenues.

      3.    Effective December 1, 1996, the cost that UFTB incurs to hire an
            accounts receivable employee who will be responsible for accounts
            receivable related to UFTB revenues generated from the UFTB Products
            covered by the Agreement. Additionally, the cost that UFTB will
            incur to hire an additional accounts receivable employee who will be
            responsible for accounts receivable, which employee will be hired
            during the calendar quarter that UFTB revenues related to this
            Agreement reaches an annualized level of $50,000,000.

      4.    The second sentence of Section 3.4(a)(ii) of the Agreement is hereby

the specific cost thereof and deducting it from the amounts payable to Sofamor
Danek under the terms of the Agreement.

      If these amendments are agreeable to you, please sign both of these
originals and return one to me for our files.
