         MedAmicus hereunder for its own account for investment and not with a
         view to, or for sale or other disposition in connection with, any
         distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of selling or
         otherwise disposing of the same other than pursuant to registration

         exemption of the Securities Act and are not being registered under the
         Securities Act or under the Securities or Blue Sky Laws of any state or
         foreign jurisdiction, and that such shares must be held indefinitely
         unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and
         any applicable State Securities or Blue Sky Laws, or unless an
         exemption from registration is available thereunder. Med-Design
         acknowledges that it has been provided

         registration rights reasonable and customary for transactions of this
         nature, and such terms will be attached as Exhibit A to this Addendum
         and incorporated herein by reference. MedAmicus and Med-Design each
         agree to be bound by the terms of Exhibit A.

THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE AMENDED AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 shall be modified as follows:

         1.1 "Seldinger Needle Device" (also referred to as guidewire
         introducer) as used herein shall mean a needle device used to puncture
         a vein or an artery, and a guidewire is threaded through the needle
         into the vein or artery, and the needle is withdrawn leaving the
         guidewire in the vein or artery.

         Section 1.6 shall be added as follows:

         1.6: "Related Fields" as used herein shall mean use of the Product for
         non-vascular applications and applications that do not include use of a
         guidewire. Related Fields does not include any use of the Product that

SECTION 3. LICENSE TO DISTRIBUTE

The first paragraph of Section 3 shall be modified as follows:

         Med-Design Patent Rights to make, use, sell, and have made the Product

         knows that a person is using or selling the Product or will use or sell
         the Product for use other than in the licensed fields, MedAmicus will
         not sell the Product to such person without prior written consent from
         Med-Design. Med-Design will retain the right to purchase the Product
         from MedAmicus at a mutually agreed upon price for sale to customers
         outside the licensed fields to which MedAmicus has been granted
         exclusivity as set forth above.

<PAGE>

SECTION 4. ROYALTIES

The first sentence of Section 4.1 shall be amended to read as follows:

         As consideration for the licenses granted hereunder, MedAmicus will pay
         to Med-Design royalties at the following rates:

         1.       On all units sold annually, up to [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
                  REQUESTED] units, MedAmicus will Pay Med-Design royalties of
                  20% of the net sales price of the Product.

         2.       On all units sold annually, from [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
                  REQUESTED] units and above, MedAmicus will pay Med-Design
                  royalties of 17% of the net sales price of the Product.

         3.       In no case will the royalty rate be less than [CONFIDENTIAL
                  TREATMENT REQUESTED] per unit.

SECTION 5. MINIMUMS

All of section 5 shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

         In order to retain the licenses granted in the Agreement and this
         Addendum, MedAmicus must sell, either alone or as part of a kit, not
         less than the number of units of the Product during each royalty year
         under this Agreement as set forth in Exhibit C attached to the
         Agreement. In the event MedAmicus does not sell the minimum quantities
         recited for each year in Exhibit C, MedAmicus may retain license rights
         granted herein per the following:

         (a)      MedAmicus may retain exclusive license rights to all licensed
                  fields described herein by paying the royalty for that number
                  of units which would be sufficient to meet the applicable
                  minimum quantities. For purposes of making this additional
                  royalty payment, MedAmicus shall calculate an average unit
                  selling price of the Product actually sold during the royalty
                  year, and shall multiply that average unit selling price times
                  the number of units that would be sufficient to meet the
                  applicable minimum quantities, and then multiply that total
                  times the appropriate royalty rate. In the event less than
                  twenty per cent of the minimum quantities recited for a year
                  were actually sold for that year, then the average selling
                  price for the above calculation shall be set at [CONFIDENTIAL
                  TREATMENT REQUESTED]; or

         (b)      MedAmicus may retain exclusive license rights to the Venous
                  Field described herein and non-exclusive license rights to the
                  Arterial Fields and Related Fields described herein by paying
                  the royalty for that number of units which would be sufficient
                  to meet the applicable minimum quantities. For purposes of
                  making this additional royalty payment, MedAmicus shall
                  multiply the number of units that would be sufficient to meet
                  the applicable minimum quantities times [CONFIDENTIAL
                  TREATMENT REQUESTED].

                                       3
<PAGE>

         (c)      Even if MedAmicus makes no additional royalty payments beyond
                  the royalty payments made in accordance with those units
                  actually sold during the royalty year, MedAmicus shall retain
                  exclusive license rights to the Venous Field.

         If MedAmicus does not sell the minimum quantities set forth in Exhibit
         C, and chooses not to pay the additional royalties described in
         sections (a) and (b) above to retain either exclusive or non-exclusive
         license rights to the Arterial Field and Related Field described
         herein, then Med-Design has the option, in its sole discretion, (a) to
         convert the exclusive license for only the Arterial Field and the
         Related Field to a non-exclusive license; or (b) to terminate only the
         license granted herein to the Arterial Field and the Related Field.
         Med-Design may not terminate or declare the Agreement non-exclusive as
         it pertains to the Venous Field.

SECTION 6.3

The lead in to the first sentence of Section 6.3 is amended to read as follows:

         If MedAmicus is sued in the United States by a third party in an action
         for patent infringement based on the manufacture, sale or use of the
         Product for the Venous or Arterial Fields in the United States under
         the Patent Rights, then the following shall apply: . . .

SECTION 8. TERM OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

Section 8.2 shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

         As set forth in Section 5, Med-Design's sole remedy for MedAmicus'
         failure to meet the minimum quantities as set forth in Exhibit C or to
         pay the additional royalties described in Section 5, shall be to
         terminate or declare this agreement non-exclusive as it pertains to the
         Arterial and Related Fields. Med-Design may not terminate or declare
         the agreement non-exclusive as it pertains to the Venous Field.

EXHIBIT C. MINIMUM PURCHASE QUANTITIES

The quantity set forth in Exhibit C as Royalty Year 5 to Contract Termination
shall be adjusted from [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] annually to
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] annually.

All other terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This
Addendum may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement
covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any
Proceedings for that purpose (and the Company shall use its best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible
its lifting, if issued); (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of

Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such
Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                  (d) Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one
conformed copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and each amendment thereto,

such Persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use
of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the
selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

                  (f) Use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate
with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification
(or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in
writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other
acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

                  (g) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
3(c)(v), as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the Commission, and
provide to the Holders, a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective
amendment, to the Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the related
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered, neither such Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                  (h) Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
relating to the Shelf Registration Statement to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock
Market and any other securities exchange, quotation system, market or
over-the-counter bulletin board, if any, on which similar securities issued by
the Company are then listed.

                  (i) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to
the Company such information, including information regarding the distribution
of such Registrable Securities, as is required by law to be disclosed in the
Shelf Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities and the
Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any
such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after
receiving such request. The failure by the Company to file the Shelf
Registration Statement by the Filing Date, to cause it to become effective or to
maintain its effectiveness for the Effectiveness Period, if due to the breach of
a Holder's obligations under this Section, shall not be deemed a breach of the
Company's obligations to such Holder under this Agreement.

         If the Shelf Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or
otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall
have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise
is not required by the Securities Act or any similar Federal statute then in
force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or
supplement to such Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the
time that such reference ceases to be required.

         Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any
Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement until it has
received copies of the Prospectus relating thereto as then amended or
supplemented as contemplated in Section 3(e) and notice from the Company that
such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have
become effective as contemplated by Section 3(c); and (ii) the Holder and its
officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will comply with the Prospectus
delivery and any other requirements of the Securities Act applicable to them in
connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement.

         Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities
that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event
of the kind described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(c)(v), such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities
under the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies
of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement
contemplated by Section 3(g), or until it is advised in writing by the Company
that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed.

         4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses
incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company,
including, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including,
without limitation, fees and expenses with respect to filings required to be
paid to The Nasdaq Stock Market and in compliance with state securities or Blue
Sky laws); (ii) printing expenses and (iii) fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its
internal

                                       5
<PAGE>

expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

         5. Limitation on Registration. The rights of each Holder to have any
Registrable Securities registered by the Company or for the Company to keep
effective any Registration Statement shall terminate at such time as legal
counsel to the Company delivers its opinion to the Holders that the Holders are
able to sell all of the Registrable Securities still owned by them in any 90-day
period pursuant to Rule 144. In any event, the Company shall not be required to
keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective beyond the Effectiveness Period
and may terminate the registration at the conclusion of the Effectiveness
Period.

         6. Indemnification.

                  (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents,
investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any
such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of
each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses
(collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf
Registration Statement or any other Registration Statement covering any
Registrable Securities, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus covering any
Registrable Shares or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus covering any Registrable Shares, or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any
Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based
solely upon information regarding such Holder or such Holder's proposed method
of distribution of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such
Holder in writing expressly for use therein.

                  (b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally
and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors,
officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act),
and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Shelf Registration Statement or any other Registration Statement covering
any Registrable Securities, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus covering
Registrable Shares, or arising out of or based upon any omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or omission is based solely upon information regarding such Holder or such
Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities furnished by
such Holder to the Company in writing specifically for inclusion in the Shelf
Registration Statement or such other Registration Statement or such Prospectus.

<PAGE>

                  (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding
shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder
(an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and
the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in its reasonable
judgment, and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with
defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give
such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or
liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure
shall have materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

         An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party
unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and
expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the
defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party, in its reasonable judgment, in any such Proceeding; or (3)
the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or
more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to
those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified
Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying
Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel
shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided that if more than
one Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to the same
Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties as a group, and all such fees and
expenses shall be reimbursed as incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party
shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any
settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party
is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such Proceeding.

                  (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses,
then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified
Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted
in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified
Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent

                                       7
<PAGE>

such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be
obligated to make contributions hereunder other than with respect to Losses (i)
for which such Holder would have been required to provide indemnity pursuant to
Section 6(b) had indemnification been available thereunder or (i) that, in the
aggregate, exceed the amount for which such Holder would have been liable
pursuant to Section 6(b) had indemnification been available thereunder. In no
event shall a Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) be entitled to contribution from any
Person who was not guilty of fraudulent representation.

         7. Rule 144. The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by
it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at
any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the
request of any Holder, make publicly available other information so long as
necessary to permit sales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such
Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities
Act pursuant to Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall
deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as
to whether it has complied with such requirements.

         8. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each
Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale
Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, may not
be transferred or assigned to a transferee or assignee of any shares of
Registrable Securities without the consent of the Company, which will not be
unreasonably withheld.
