(c) Financial Reporting. As long as any amounts remain outstanding under this Note or, if this Note is converted, as long as Brainlab continues to hold at least 50% of the Conversion Shares issued upon such conversion, the Company shall deliver to Brainlab (i) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, and in any event within 120 days thereafter, a balance sheet of the
14
Company and statement of stockholders equity as of the end of such year and statements of income and cash flow for such year, such year-end financial reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied (subject however to the absence of footnotes in the event the Company does not engage an independent certified public accounting firm to audit and certify such financial statements); and (ii) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter (except the last quarter of each fiscal year), and in any event within forty-five (45) days thereafter, an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such fiscal quarter, and an unaudited statement of income for each fiscal quarter and for the current fiscal year to date.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(e), the Company reserves the right to exclude the board observer from portions of any meeting where and to the extent that the Company reasonably believes that excluding the board observer from attending such portion of the meeting is reasonably necessary (i) to preserve attorney-client, work product or similar privilege between the Company and its counsel with respect to any matter, (ii) to comply with the terms and conditions of confidentiality agreements between the Company and any third parties, or (iii) because the Company has determined, in good faith, that there exists, with respect to the subject of such deliberation or such information, an actual or potential conflict of interest between Brainlab and the Company. Furthermore, the members of the Companys board of directors shall be entitled to hold reasonable executive sessions which the board observer may not be invited to attend.

(d) Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Company, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

On April 22, 2010, SurgiVision Consultants, Inc. and Guy M. Kezirian (collectively, the Plaintiffs) filed a lawsuit against SurgiVision in the United States District Court, Central District of California, alleging trademark infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and violation of the Anti-Cybersquatting Protection Act, all relating to SurgiVisions use of its SURGI-VISION and SURGIVISION trademarks and its surgivision.com domain name. SurgiVision and the Plaintiffs entered into a binding settlement agreement on February 16, 2011, and an order dismissing the litigation was entered on February 18, 2011. The amount of the financial settlement is not reflected in the Financial Statements. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, SurgiVision also abandoned the registrations for its SURGI-VISION and SURGIVISION trademarks, and it transferred to the Plaintiffs the surgivision.com domain name.

Employee Benefit Plans
SurgiVision utilizes ADP Total Source as a Professional Employer Organization. As such, SurgiVisions employees are co-employed through ADP. ADP administers and maintains the benefit plans in which SurgiVisions employees participate. The benefits made available to SurgiVisions employees through ADP include a 401(k) plan, medical insurance, life insurance, long-term disability coverage, and flexible spending accounts for health care and dependent care costs. SurgiVision does not match contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan.
In April 2010, SurgiVision entered into a separation agreement with Mr. John C. Thomas, Jr., who previously served as our Chief Financial Officer. Under the separation agreement, Mr. Thomas ceased to be a SurgiVision employee, SurgiVision agreed to pay Mr. Thomas certain severance, and Mr. Thomas agreed to consult and cooperate with SurgiVision in connection with the orderly transition of his business responsibilities to a new Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Thomas continues to serve as a director of the company.
SurgiVision adopted its Key Personnel Incentive Program to provide a key employee and consultant with the opportunity to receive incentive bonus payments based on future performance of services to the company or upon a consummation of a sale transaction. The compensation committee of SurgiVisions Board of Directors is responsible for administering the program, and the only participants in the program are Paul A. Bottomley and Parag Karmarkar. Dr. Bottomley is a director of the company.
SurgiVision adopted its Cardiac EP Business Participation Plan to enable it to provide a key product development advisor and consultant with financial rewards in the event SurgiVision sells its cardiac EP business operations. SurgiVisions cardiac EP business operations include its operations relating to the ClearTrace system for MRI-guided cardiac ablation to treat cardiac arrhythmias, but it does not include SurgiVisions operations relating to its ClearPoint system, its SafeLead Development Program or any other product or product candidate. The sole participant in the plan is Dr. Nassir F. Marrouche.
SurgiVision has two plans under which it is currently issuing stock option awards, the 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2010 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. Although there are options outstanding under SurgiVisions 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and 1998 Stock Option Plan, no new awards may be granted under those plans.
SurgiVision has implemented a ClearPoint Sales Incentive Program that covers SurgiVisions Vice President, Sales and Sales Representatives.
