THIS WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) THIS WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Theodore C. Skokos (the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase up to fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ATS Medical, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), at $2.04 per share (such price and such other price as shall result, from time to time, from the adjustments specified in Section 4 hereof is herein referred to as the “Warrant Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. This warrant is being issued on this day of , (the “Date of Grant”).

This warrant is being issued in connection with that certain Subordinated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Holder. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

1. Term. The right represented by this warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from the earlier of the Date of Grant (the “Initial Exercise Date”) until [insert seventh anniversary of Date of Grant] (the “Termination Date”).

2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, at the election of the Holder hereof, as applicable, after the Initial Exercise Date. At the time Holder elects to exercise this warrant, the Holder shall (i) surrender this warrant (with the notice of exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 duly completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company, by certified or bank check, or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company (a “Wire Transfer”) of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased; or (ii) exercise the “net issuance” right provided for in Section 9 hereof. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this warrant pursuant to this Section 2, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof as soon as practicable and in any event within three (3) business days after such exercise and, unless this warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new warrant representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder hereof as soon as practicable and in any event within such thirty-day period; provided, however, if requested by the Holder of this warrant, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to deliver the certificate representing Shares issued upon exercise of this warrant to a broker or other person (as directed by the Holder exercising this warrant) within the time period required to settle any trade made by the Holder after exercise of this warrant.

The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of this warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this warrant is exercised.

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this warrant will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights and taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this warrant. If at any time during the term of this warrant the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

(a) Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this warrant), the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall (i) in the case of a merger described above, execute and deliver to the Holder a new warrant (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder), so that the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this warrant, at a total purchase price equal to that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such merger or sale by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this warrant and (ii) in the case of a reclassification or change in the securities issuable upon exercise of this warrant described above, the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this warrant, at a total purchase price equal to that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this warrant, and (A) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this warrant upon such reclassification or other change in the securities issuable upon exercise of this warrant or (B) in lieu of cash theretofore issuable upon exercise of this warrant, the amount of cash then issuable under this warrant upon such reclassification or other change in the securities issuable upon exercise of this warrant. Any new warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions of this Section 4(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and sales.

(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.

(c) Stock Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company at any time while this warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or (ii) make any other distribution with respect to Common Stock (except any distribution specifically provided for in Sections 4(a) and 4(b)), then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the Holder of this warrant shall receive upon exercise of this warrant a proportionate share of any such dividend or distribution as though it were the holder of the Common Stock as of the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

5. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, rounded up to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.

6. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall make a certificate signed by its acting chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the Holder of this warrant.

7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the product resulting from multiplying the then fair market value of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 9(c) below) on the date of exercise by such fraction.

(a) Compliance with Act. The Holder of this warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this warrant, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this warrant, or any shares of Common Stock except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this warrant, unless the Shares being acquired are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the shares of Common Stock so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company. This warrant and all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Said legend shall be removed by the Company, upon the request of a Holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security have terminated.

(b) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. This warrant and any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise or conversion of this warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer this warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Company, including, if required by the Company, an opinion of counsel to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to establish that such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, and a new warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered warrant shall be canceled by the Company. Each certificate representing this warrant or the shares of Common Stock thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

(c) Applicability of Restrictions. Neither any restrictions of any legend described in this warrant nor the requirements of Section 7(b) above shall apply to any transfer of, or grant of a security interest in, this warrant (or the Common Stock obtainable upon exercise hereof) or any part hereof (i) to a partner of the Holder if the Holder is a partnership or to a member of the Holder if the Holder is a limited liability company, (ii) to a partnership of which the Holder is a partner or to a limited liability company of which the Holder is a member, or (iii) to any affiliate of the Holder if the Holder is a corporation; provided, however, in any such transfer, if applicable, the transferee shall on the Company’s request agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this warrant as if an original Holder hereof.

9. Rights as Shareholders; Information. No Holder of this warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this warrant, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

(a) Right to Convert. In addition to and without limiting the rights of the Holder under the terms of this warrant, the Holder shall have the right to convert this warrant or any portion thereof (the “Conversion Right”) into shares of Common Stock as provided in this Section 9 at any time or from time to time during the term of this warrant. Upon exercise of the Conversion Right with respect to a particular number of shares subject to this warrant (the “Converted Warrant Shares”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any exercise price or any cash or other consideration) that number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock as is determined according to the following formula:

A = the aggregate Warrant Price of the specified number of Converted Warrant Shares immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right (i.e., the number of Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the Warrant Price)

B = the aggregate fair market value of the specified number of Converted Warrant Shares (i.e., the number of Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the fair market value of one Converted Warrant Share)

If shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to this Section 9, no fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and, if the number of shares to be issued determined in accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting fractional share on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined).

(b) Method of Exercise. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder by the surrender of this warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a written statement (which may be in the form of Exhibit A-1) specifying that the Holder thereby intends to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of shares subject to this warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in Section 9(a) hereof as the Converted Warrant Shares) in exercise of the Conversion Right. Such conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this warrant together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is specified therein (the “Conversion Date”). Certificates for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right and, if applicable, a new warrant evidencing the balance of the shares remaining subject to this warrant, shall be issued as of the Conversion Date and shall be delivered to the Holder within thirty (30) days following the Conversion Date.

(c) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 9, “fair market value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean: (i) if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock on such exchange over the five trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of such security) (collectively, “Bloomberg”); (ii) if traded on a market that is not a securities exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock over the five trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date as reported by Bloomberg; and (iii) if there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

(d) Automatic Exercise: If this Warrant would terminate or expire but for the application of this Section 9(d), then if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock exceeds the Warrant Price this Warrant shall be deemed automatically converted pursuant to this Section 9 immediately prior to such termination or expiration.

11. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder of this warrant as follows:

(a) This warrant has been duly authorized and executed by the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and the rules of law or principles at equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

(b) The Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from preemptive rights.

(c) The execution and delivery of this warrant are not, and the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will not be, inconsistent with the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, do not and will not contravene any law, governmental rule or regulation, judgment or order applicable to the Company, and do not and will not conflict with or contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument of which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration or filing with or the taking of any action in respect of or by, any federal, state or local government authority or agency or other person, except for the filing of notices pursuant to federal and state securities laws, which filings will be effected by the time required thereby.

(a) If requested by the Holder (the “Demand Registration Right”), the Company shall prepare and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 30 calendar days after receiving such a request from the Holder (the “Filing Deadline”), file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants issued to the Holder under the Credit Agreement on or before the date of such demand (the “Registrable Securities”). The Holder shall have only one Demand Registration Right, and such Demand Registration Right shall apply to all Registrable Securities issuable to Holder on or before the date of the demand upon the exercise of the Warrants issued by the Company to the Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 calendar days after the Filing Deadline (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if the Commission reviews the Registration Statement and requires the Company to make modifications thereto, then the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to 120 calendar days after the Filing Deadline. In the event that, before the Registration Statement is declared effective, the offices of the Securities and Exchange Commission are closed due to acts of God, war or terror (or similar circumstances), the Effectiveness Deadline will be extended by a number of days equal to the days of any such closure.
