SECOND AMENDMENT OF LEASE



THIS SECOND AMENDMENT OF LEASE (this “Amendment”) is made to be effective the 1st day of January,
2004, by and between CSM INVESTORS, INC., a Minnesota corporation (“Landlord”), and SYNOVIS LIFE
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. f/k/a Bio-Vascular, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Tenant”).




RECITALS




     A. Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated February 28, 1995, as amended
by that certain First Amendment of Lease (the “First Amendment”) dated September 23, 2002
(together, the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant leased from Landlord that certain premises (the
“Premises”) within Westgate Business Center Phase IV (the “Building”) located at 2575 University
Avenue West, Suite 180, St. Paul, Minnesota, as more particularly described in the Lease.



     B. The parties wish to amend certain terms and conditions of the Lease as more particularly
set forth herein.



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants herein contained,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:



AGREEMENT




1. Section 1.2 Premises.




     (a) Commencing January 1, 2004, the Premises shall be expanded to include the Second Expansion
Area (as such term is defined in the First Amendment). The square footage of the Second Expansion
Area as recited in the First Amendment omitted that certain 149 square feet of space depicted on
the attached Exhibit A. Consequently, the total rentable square footage of the Second
Expansion Area is 28,975, making the total rentable square footage of the Premises (including the
Second Expansion Area) 69,867. Base Rent payable by Tenant in respect of the Second Expansion Area
shall be $10.978 per rentable square foot, or $26,507.30 per month. Landlord agrees to let Tenant
have early occupancy of the Second Expansion Area on December 24, 2003, which occupancy shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease.



     (b) Commencing January 15, 2004, the Premises shall be expanded to include that certain 2,709
square foot space depicted on the attached Exhibit B as the “Third Expansion Area,” thereby
increasing the total square footage of the Premises to 72,576. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay a pro rata share of operating expenses or Base Rent in
respect of the Third Expansion Area. On or before February 29, 2004, Tenant shall vacate and
surrender to Landlord the Third Expansion Area broom clean and in as good as condition that existed
on January 15, 2004, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and with all of Tenant’s belongings removed.
In the event that Tenant does not vacate the Third Expansion



 









 





Area on or before February 29, 2004, Landlord shall have the option to treat Tenant’s
occupancy for the holdover period as either an at-will occupancy or a month-to-month occupancy and
all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall be applicable during that period, except that
Tenant shall pay Landlord as Base Rent for the Third Expansion Area for the holdover period an
amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the rate of Base Rent in effect for the Second
Expansion Area on February 29, 2004, together with all additional rent and other sums and charges
as provided in the Lease. In addition, Tenants pro rata share of operating expenses shall be
increased by adding the square footage of the Third Expansion Area to the numerator of the pro rata
share equation set forth in Section 2.2 of the Lease. Upon Tenant’s vacation of the Third
Expansion Area in accordance with the terms of this subparagraph 1(b), the total rentable square
footage of the Premises shall be reduced by 2,709.




     (c) Tenant shall vacate the First Expansion Area (as such term is defined in the First
Amendment) on or before February 29, 2004 in accordance with the terms hereof. Except as otherwise
provided herein, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay a pro rata share of operating expenses or
Base Rent in respect of the First Expansion Area. On or before February 29, 2004, Tenant shall
vacate and surrender to Landlord the First Expansion Area broom clean and in as good as condition
that existed on October 15, 2002, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and with all of Tenant’s
belongings removed. In the event that Tenant does not vacate the First Expansion Area on or before
February 29, 2004, Landlord shall have the option to treat Tenant’s occupancy for the holdover
period as either an at-will occupancy or a month-to-month occupancy and all of the terms and
provisions of the Lease shall be applicable during that period, except that Tenant shall pay
Landlord as Base Rent for the First Expansion Area for the holdover period an amount equal to one
and one-half (1.5) times the rate of Base Rent in effect for the Second Expansion Area on
February 29, 2004, together with all additional rent and other sums and charges as provided in the
Lease. In addition, Tenant’s pro rata share of operating expenses shall be increased by adding the
square footage of the First Expansion Area to the numerator of the pro rata share equation set
forth in Section 2.2 of the lease. Upon Tenant’s vacation of the First Expansion Area in
accordance with the terms of this subparagraph 1(c), the total rentable square footage of the
Premises shall be reduced by 4,865.


2. Section 1.9 Pro-Rata Share. Effective January 1, 2004, Tenant’s pro rata share of
operating expenses shall be Sixty Four and 36/100 percent (64.36%).



3. Section 2.2 Operating Expenses. Tenant’s pro rata share set forth in Section 1.9 of the
lease (as amended hereby) shall be equal to a percentage based upon a fraction, the numerator of
which is the net rentable area of the Premises (less the mezzanine level of the Second Expansion
Area), and the denominator of which shall be the net rentable area of the Building, as the same may
change from time to time.



4. Section 14.13 Parking. Commencing January 1, 2004, and continuing until the date the
Lease expires or is earlier terminated, Tenant shall have the right to use an additional
twenty-eight (28) parking spaces in the underground parking garage for a monthly fee of One
Thousand One Hundred Twenty and no/100 dollars ($1,120.00). The monthly parking fee shall be
deemed to be additional rent under the Lease and shall be due and payable as and when each monthly
installment of Base Rent is due and payable thereunder.
