                          II - CONSIDERATION

      2.1 As consideration for entering this Agreement:

          a. RTI shall pay TTGN the "Advance Fund" amount of [*****] dollars
U.S. ([*****]) upon the Effective Date, which amount may be permanently
retained by TTGN subject to TTGN meeting the requirements set forth in
Section 5 herein;

          b. TTGN shall, within one week from receipt of the Advance Fund set
forth in 2.1(a) herein: (i) activate Shaft recovery at two (2) recovery sites
in Europe and each such site shall thereupon recover and provide not less
than [*****] Shaft Donors per month, or a respective equivalency in
Shafts per month, to RTI; and (ii) begin Shaft recovery training at an
additional two (2) recovery sites in Europe, and as soon as possible (but not
later than five (5) weeks from receipt of the Advance Fund set forth in
Section 2.1(a)) each additional such site shall begin recovering and
providing not less than [*****] Shaft Donors per month or a
respective equivalency in Shafts per month to RTI;

                                    -2-

<PAGE>

          d. For the term herein TTGN shall diligently endeavor to meet or
exceed the Shaft Donor quantities set forth as the "Target Minimums" attached
hereto, and shall not supply any Shaft Donors or Shafts within its control to
any party other than RTI or TTGN. The foregoing notwithstanding, TTGN shall
be allowed to directly distribute allograft implants, under Tutogen

Shaft Donors or Shafts, and TTGN shall be allowed to distribute its planned
new product TriAplast-TM- and those cortical-shaft-derived implants which are
listed in the TTGN catalog in effect at the date of this Agreement, which
catalog pages are attached as an exhibit hereto and made part of this
Agreement. The Target Minimums have been established as an incentive for
TTGN, and failure to attain the Target Minimums will not result in penalties
for TTGN.

                          III - SHAFT DONOR TRANSACTIONS

      3.1 SUPPLY AND ACCEPTANCE. RTI shall accept all Shaft Donors supplied
by TTGN, provided that such Shaft Donors meet the Specifications, and that
the quantity of such Shaft Donors falls within the RTI Forecast. RTI may not
change such RTI Forecast without first providing TTGN with one hundred eighty
(180) days written notice. Acceptance by RTI shall be deemed to occur upon
the delivery of such qualifying Shaft Donors from TTGN to RTI's facilities in
Alachua, Florida.

      3.2 SHIPPING. Shaft Donors supplied to RTI under this Agreement shall be
shipped, on a regular basis as requested by RTI, at RTI expense to TTGN's
Alachua, Florida facility by a delivery service which is mutually negotiated
between RTI and TTGN and which is subject to RTI's acceptance. Shaft Donors
should normally be packed six (6) to a shipping carton unless otherwise
specified by RTI. Transportation of Shaft Donors from TTGN's Alachua, Florida
facility to RTI's facilities shall be arranged by RTI and be at RTI's expense.

      3.3 REJECTIONS. Within thirty (30) days of RTI's rejection of any Shaft
Donors due to a failure to meet the Specifications, RTI shall notify TTGN in
writing of such rejections, the reason(s) for such rejection(s), including,
if applicable, a request for a RTI credit based upon the original invoice
paid by RTI. In the event TTGN elects to have any such rejected Shaft Donors
returned to TTGN, it shall be responsible for the payment of such return
shipping charges. RTI

                                   -3-

<PAGE>

hereby warrants that there is no factor which can result in a rejection after
recovery, which factor would not have been known by or apparent to the
recovery team doing the actual recovery of the tissue.

      3.4 REIMBURSEMENT TERMS.

          a. RTI shall reimburse TTGN for Shaft Donor recovery services, per
Shaft Donor accepted by RTI, as set forth in Section 3.1 herein, at a rate of
[*****] dollars U.S. ([*****]) for Shaft Donors ages 15 to 55; and [*****]
dollars U.S. ($[*****]) for Shaft Donors ages 56 to 65. The quantity of Shaft
Donors ages 56 to 65 accepted by RTI from TTGN shall not exceed [*****]
percent ([*****]%) of the total Shaft Donors accepted by RTI from TTGN. RTI
may, at any time, provide TTGN with one hundred twenty (120) days written
notice of its intention to no longer accept Shaft Donors ages 56 to 65. In
the event TTGN provides RTI with Shafts not comprising a complete Shaft
Donor, RTI shall reimburse TTGN for recovery services per-Shaft as set forth
on the Cortical Bone Specifications and Reimbursement Schedule. TTGN may
conduct an annual review of their costs for recovery services provided under
this Agreement and, in the event such review reflects a TTGN cost increase of
greater than 10% over the period since the later of the Effective Date or the
last cost adjustment, RTI and TTGN will negotiate a mutually-acceptable
increase in the recovery reimbursement fees to be paid to TTGN from the time
of such annual review until the earlier of the end of the Agreement or the
next cost adjustment.

          b. For a six (6) month period commencing with the Effective Date
herein, RTI shall reimburse TTGN one-half the rate amounts set forth in
Section 3.4(a) herein upon RTI's receipt of written confirmation that TTGN
has shipped Shaft Donors from Europe to the United States under the terms of
this Agreement. Upon RTI's subsequent receipt and acceptance of the
partially-reimbursed Shaft Donors, RTI shall promptly reimburse TTGN the
remaining one-half amount due. Written confirmation of shipment from Europe
to the United States shall include evidence of shipment and an invoice
bearing the quantity, age and other relevant specifications of the Shaft
Donors included in the respective shipment.

          c. For the remainder of the term beyond the six (6) month period
set forth in Section 3.4(b) herein, RTI shall reimburse TTGN for its recovery
services performed hereunder at the rates set forth in Section 3.4(a) herein,
net 30 days from Shaft Donor acceptance, as set forth in Section 3.1 herein,
F.O.B. TTGN shipping dock.

      3.5 SEROLOGIES AND FREEZER STORAGE. RTI shall be responsible for
performing all Shaft Donor serologies and Shaft Donor freezer storage,
including the expense thereof, at RTI. RTI shall

                                   -4-

<PAGE>

provide adequate freezers at TTGN's facilities in Alachua, Florida for the
storage of Shafts while awaiting release by TTGN to RTI, which freezers shall
remain the property of RTI. RTI shall provide up to six thousand five hundred
dollars U.S. ($6,500) to TTGN to apply toward the purchase of a freezer for
each active recovery group trained by TTGN that is recovering and providing
Shaft Donors to RTI in at least the quantities set forth in Section 2.1(b)
herein.

                        IV - ADDITIONAL RECOVERY FEES

      4.1 Whenever the Shaft Donors per calendar quarter, supplied to and
accepted by RTI, exceeds one thousand three hundred fifty (1,350) Shaft
Donors per calendar quarter, (commencing on October 1, 1998 and for the
remainder of the term herein), RTI shall reimburse TTGN with an additional
recovery fee of [twenty five thousand] dollars U.S. ($25,000) within forty
five (45) days from the end of the respective calendar quarter. In no event
shall the amount of Shaft Donors supplied to and accepted by RTI carry over
into any future calendar quarter for the purpose of calculating such
additional recovery fee.

                              V - ADVANCE FUNDS

      5.1 If, by December 15, 1998, TTGN supplies at least one hundred (100)
Shaft Donors to RTI meeting the Specifications, RTI will transfer to TTGN an
additional [twenty five thousand] dollars U.S. ($25,000) in Advance Funds.

      5.2 TTGN shall permanently retain seventy five dollars U.S. ($75) of
the Advance Fund for each Shaft Donor supplied to and ultimately accepted by
RTI, as set forth in Section 3.1 herein, for each Shaft Donor received at
TTGN's Alachua, Florida facility in excess of the respective monthly
quantities of Shaft Donors set forth on the "Target Minimums" attached hereto.
Additionally, TTGN shall permanently retain one hundred dollars U.S. ($100)
of the Advance Fund for every Shaft Donor which is shipped from Germany to
the United States in the months of October and November, 1998 under this
Agreement and is subsequently accepted by RTI as set forth in Section 3.1
herein. Such retained Advance Fund amounts shall be in addition to the
recovery reimbursement fees provided in Section 3.4(a).

[three hundred (300)] Shaft Donors per month to RTI for any three (3)
consecutive calendar months, where such Shaft Donors meet the Specifications,
then TTGN shall permanently retain any remaining balance of the Advance Fund
not yet retained as set forth in Section 5.2 herein.

     5.4 In no event shall the aggregate amount retained by TTGN as set forth
in this Section 5 exceed the sum total of the Advance Fund.

     5.5 As of July 31, 1999, any amount of the Advance Fund not retained by
TTGN, as set forth in this Section 5, shall be repaid to RTI by August 31,
1999. Such repayment shall be in U.S. Dollars or in the form of credits
against recovery service fees due TTGN by RTI hereunder.

                     VI - SHAFT DONOR RECOVER TRAINING

     6.1 RTI shall provide TTGN with Shaft Donor recover training if
requested by TTGN and such training information shall be considered
confidential information subject to the terms of the Confidentiality
Agreement. If requested by TTGN, RTI shall endeavor to complete such training
within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date herein. RTI shall make available
two (2) RTI staff members and TTGN shall make a TTGN representative available
for such training. Staff of TTGN or related recovery groups may travel to the
United States for training by RTI, as well.

     6.2 RTI shall pay its own training related expenses including travel and
staff salaries for the first month of Shaft Donor recovery training, and
thereafter the cost of additional training, if requested, shall be shared by
RTI and TTGN on a basis mutually agreed to in advance.

                          VII - TERM AND TERMINATION

                      VIII - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLICENSING

that they are contemplating the formation of the University of Florida Tissue
Bank/Europe ("UFTB/E"), a non-profit tissue bank located in Europe, for the
purpose of enhancing the supply of Shaft Donors for RTI, and Other Tissues

                                  AMENDMENT TO
                SHAFT RECOVERY AND SERVICE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

      This AMENDMENT dated June 28, 1999 (the "Amendment") is an amendment to
the Shaft Recovery and Service Reimbursement Agreement of September 29, 1998
by and between Regeneration Technologies, Inc. ("RTI") and Tutogen Medical,
Inc., ("TTGN") (the "Agreement").

A.    GENERAL Defined terms as contained in `I-DEFINITIONS' and elsewhere in the
      Agreement, as well as schedules and exhibits thereto, shall apply to this
      Amendment. All terms and provisions, as set forth in the Agreement, shall
      remain in full force and effect unless otherwise amended herein.

B.    SECTION 2.1 d. This paragraph is replaced, in its entirety, with the
      following:

      "For the term herein, TTGN shall diligently endeavor to meet or exceed
      the Shaft Donor quantities set forth as the `Target Minimums' attached
      hereto. For the term herein, TTGN agrees not to supply any Shaft Donors
      or Shafts within its control to any party other than RTI or TTGN. The
      Target Minimums have been established as an incentive for TTGN, and
      failure to attain the Target Minimums will not result in penalties for
      TTGN. TTGN may develop and distribute products, which products may or may
      not compete with RTI. TTGN acknowledges that RTI holds intellectual
      property rights on certain RTI products, which rights RTI intends to
      maintain and defend and which rights are not granted to TTGN."

C.    SECTION 3.4 a. This paragraph is replaced, in its entirety, with the
      following:

      "RTI shall reimburse TTGN for Shaft Donor recovery services, per Shaft
      donor accepted by RTI as set forth in Section 3.1 herein, at a rate of:

Amendment to Shaft Recovery
and Service Reimbursement Agreement
Page Two

      Such reimbursement fee shall be paid in U.S. dollars. The quantity of
      Shaft Donors ages 56 to 65 accepted by RTI from TTGN in any month shall
      not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total Shaft Donors accepted by RTI
      from TTGN during that month. TTGN may conduct an annual review of their
      costs for recovery services provided under this Agreement and, in the
      event such review reflects a TTGN cost increase of greater than ten
      percent (10%) over the period since the later of the Effective Date or
      the last mutually acceptable recovery reimbursement fee increase, RTI and
      TTGN will negotiate toward a mutually acceptable increase in the recovery
      reimbursement fees to be paid to TTGN from the time of such annual review
      until the earlier of the end of the Agreement or the next mutually
      acceptable recovery reimbursement fee increase."

      following:

      "Section 8.1 notwithstanding, the parties hereto acknowledge that they
      are contemplating the formation of a non-profit tissue bank to be located

      negotiated, agreement will be required to cover the operations of ETB and
      that, pursuant to that agreement, control of ETB will be shared, in
      principle, equally between RTI and TTGN."

                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
                           -------------------------

     This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made as of June __, 2000, between
Regeneration Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
______________ (collectively with such person's heirs, executors, administrators
and other personal representatives, the "Indemnitee"), an officer or director of
the Company.

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has concluded that Company's officers,
directors, employees and agents should be provided with reasonable and
appropriate protection against inordinate risks in order to insure that the most
capable persons will be attracted to such positions; and, therefore, has
determined to contractually obligate itself to indemnify in a reasonable and
adequate manner its officers and directors, and to assume for itself liability
for expenses and damages in connection with claims lodged against such persons
as a result of their service to the Company;

     WHEREAS, applicable law empowers corporations to indemnify a person who
serves as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or a person
who serves at the request of a corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise; and

     WHEREAS, the parties believe it appropriate to memorialize and reaffirm the
Company's indemnification obligations to Indemnitee and, in addition, to set
forth the agreements contained herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained,
the parties agree as follows:

     1. INDEMNIFICATION. Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Company against any judgments, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement
and Expenses (as hereinafter defined) incurred in connection with any actual or
threatened Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) to the fullest extent permitted
by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate"), By-Laws and
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Law") as in
effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as Delaware Law may
hereafter from time to time permit. In addition, the Company agrees to advance
to Indemnitee Expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing. "Proceeding"
includes, without limitation, any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute
resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other actual,
threatened or contemplated proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, whether by a third party, by or in the right of the Company or
by Indemnitee to enforce any rights under this Agreement or otherwise against
the Company or its affiliates.

     2. INTERIM EXPENSES. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by
Indemnitee in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
action, suit or proceeding for which

<PAGE>

Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company hereunder. "Expenses" means all attorneys' fees and
expenses, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, duplicating costs, fees of
experts, fees of witnesses, travel expenses, printing and binding costs,
telephone charges, postage and delivery fees, service fees, all other costs and
expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting,
defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating or being or preparing
to be a witness in a Proceeding, and per diem payments to Indemnitee in an
amount equal to the last annual salary payable under any employment agreement
between the Company and Indemnitee divided by 365 for each day spent by
Indemnitee in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or
defend, investigating or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding.

     3. EXCEPTIONS TO INDEMNIFICATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
indemnity pursuant to Sections 1 or 2 shall be paid by the Company:

         (a) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against
Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by
Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar
provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law;

         (b) on account of Indemnitee's conduct which is finally adjudged to
have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to constitute
willful misconduct;

         (c) on account of Indemnitee's conduct which is finally adjudged to
have constituted a breach of Indemnitee's duty of loyalty to the Company or
resulted in any personal profit or advantage to which Indemnitee was not legally
entitled;

         (d) for which payment is actually made to Indemnitee under a valid and
collectible insurance policy or under a valid and enforceable indemnity clause,
bylaw or agreement, except in respect of any excess beyond payment under such
insurance, clause, bylaw or agreements;

         (e) if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter
shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful; or

         (f) in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
Indemnitee, or any proceeding by Indemnitee against the Company or its
directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) such
indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was
authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) such indemnification
is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers
vested in the Company under applicable law, or (iv) the proceeding is initiated
pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

     4. FAILURE TO INDEMNIFY. (a) If a claim under this Agreement, under any
statute, or under any provision of the Certificate or By-Laws providing for
indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company within 45 days after a
written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Company,
Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the
Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or
in part, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for Indemnitee's
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily
incurred in connection with successfully establishing the right to
indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be
indemnified by the Company.

     (b) It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought
to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the
standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount
claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company and
Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of Interim Expenses
pursuant to Paragraph 2 unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated
by court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists.

     5. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF INDEMNITEE.

     (i) Indemnitee agrees to do all things reasonably requested by the Board of
Directors of the Company to enable the Company to coordinate Indemnitee's
defense with, if applicable, the Company's defense, provided, however, that
Indemnitee shall not be required to take any action that would in any way
prejudice his or her defense or waive any defense or position available to him
or her in connection with any action;

     (ii) Indemnitee agrees to do all things reasonably requested by the Board
of Directors of the Company to subrogate to the Company any rights of recovery
(including rights to insurance or indemnification from persons other than the
Company) which Indemnitee may have with respect to any action;

     (iii) Indemnitee agrees to be represented in any action by a law firm
mutually acceptable to the Company and Indemnitee; and

     (iv) Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the Company and its counsel and
maintain any confidences revealed to him or her by the Company in connection
with the Company's defense of any action. The Company agrees to cooperate with
Indemnitee and his or her counsel and maintain any confidences revealed to it by
Indemnitee in connection with Indemnitee's defense of any action.

     6. Successors. This Agreement establishes contract rights which shall be
binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the successors, assigns, heirs
and legal representatives of the parties hereto.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

     7. CONTRACT RIGHTS NOT EXCLUSIVE. The contract rights conferred by this
Agreement shall be in addition to, but not exclusive of, any other right which
Indemnitee may have or may hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the
Certificate or By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.

     8. INDEMNITEE'S OBLIGATIONS. Indemnitee shall advise the Company in writing
of the institution of any investigation, claim, action, suit, or proceeding
which is or may be subject to this Agreement and generally keep the Company
informed of, and consult with the Company with respect to, the status of any
such investigation, claim action, suit or proceeding.

     9. SEVERABILITY. Should any provision or paragraph of this Agreement, or
any clause hereof, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or
in part, the remaining provisions, paragraphs and clauses of this Agreement
shall remain fully enforceable and binding on the parties.

     10. CHOICE OF LAW. The validity, interpretation, performance and
enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware.

     11. CONTINUATION OF INDEMNIFICATION. The indemnification under this
Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee even though he or she may have ceased
to be a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company and shall inure
to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of Indemnitee. The
Company acknowledges that, in providing services to it, Indemnitee is relying on
this Agreement. Accordingly, the Company agrees that its obligations hereunder
will survive (i) any actual or purported termination of this Agreement by the
Company or its successors or assigns whether by operation of law or otherwise,
(ii) any change in the Certificate or By-Laws and (iii) termination of the
Indemnitee's services to the Company (whether such services were terminated by
the Company or the Indemnitee), whether or not a claim is made or an action or
Proceeding is threatened or commenced before or after the actual or purported
termination of this Agreement, change in the Certificate or By-Laws or
termination of Indemnitee's services.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and signed as of the day and year first above written.
