TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 15, 2006, we entered into a new distribution agreement with CL Medical, which replaces
and supersedes the manufacturing and distribution agreement dated September 2, 2004. The new
distribution agreement appoints us as the exclusive distributor of the I-Stop sling in the United
States, and obligates CL Medical to supply us with the products entire requirements, sterilized,
packaged, labeled and ready for sale, all manufactured in accordance with FDA laws and regulations.
The new distribution agreement is for six years, with our right to renew it for successive
five-year terms. We have a specified minimum purchase requirement of $355,000 of units in the
first 12-month period following January 1, 2006, increasing to approximately $2.6 million of units
over a five-year period, subject to periodic adjustment based on the value of the euro. The
purchase price is payable in euros. If we fail to reach our minimum purchase requirement in any
12-month period, CL Medical has the right to terminate our exclusive distribution rights in the
United States.
Under the new distribution agreement, CL Medical has agreed to provide us with any improvements or
modifications it makes to the I-Stop sling during the term of the agreement without additional
charge. In addition, CL Medical has granted us a right of first refusal for exclusive distribution
rights in the United States to any new medical devices or procedures it develops during the term of
the agreement. We have agreed that during, and for one year after, the term of our agreement, we
will not manufacture our own, or market any other partys tension-free vaginal tape product for the
treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. If for any reason CL Medical is prohibited from
exporting the I-Stop sling into the United States, CL Medical is required to supply us the
components necessary to manufacture, package and label the I-Stop sling in the United States
market.
