FORECASTING AND ORDERING

3.1

Product Forecasting. The parties will work together on an ongoing basis to plan and schedule Manufacturing Runs. Ceribell will regularly provide product forecasts for the [***] period to assist with planning. Lead Times and Manufacturing Cycle Times for the Products shall be determined by mutual agreement of the parties. "Lead Time" means the period of time required for Supplier to fulfill an Order for Ceribell, starting from date of receipt of the Order and ending at date of delivery to Ceribell. "Manufacturing Cycle Time" for any Product means the period of time that it takes under normal conditions to manufacture the Product, starting from the date the raw materials start in production at the factory and ending at final test and packaging.

C E R I B E L L C O N F I D E N T I A L

3.2

Purchase Orders. The parties may exchange-purchase orders, and invoice forms. All use of forms and Orders are governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No pre-printed terms and conditions on purchase order forms issued by Ceribell, or any terms and conditions contained in Supplier's quotations, acceptance, and/or invoice forms, will supersede, extinguish, add to, alter or amend the provisions of this Agreement, even if signed by either or both parties. Blanket Purchase Orders (BPO) may be used to specify product needs for the following [***] period. The quantity(ies) stated in the BPO are estimates and during the period covered by the BPO Supplier is not to exceed the quantity stated in the BPO for each Product. Ceribell may adjust the BPO quantity at any time to cover anticipated requirements by issuing a revised BPO to Supplier; provided Ceribell will be responsible for the materials and products acquired by Supplier to meet the adjustment.

3.3

Manufacturing Run. A "Manufacturing Run" is a discrete period in which manufacturing of Ceribell Product is performed with the intention of providing a set quantity of Product as specified in a Purchase Order or BPO. Supplier must receive authorization from Ceribell prior to commencing any Manufacturing Run. When a Product has reached sufficiently large production volumes, manufacturing may be scheduled continuously instead of in discrete Manufacturing Runs, but delivery quantities and timelines will still be specified on Purchase Orders.

PRICES, PAYMENT TERMS, AND TAXES

4.1

General. Pricing for Product(s) (the "Price") is as stated in the applicable Product Schedule or Order. If the parties agree to a Price change for any Product, the new Price is applicable to all Product units received on or after the effective date of the price change, including Products in transit to Ceribell, as of the effective date of the price change, even if the applicable Product Schedule has not yet been formally amended or an Order is subsequently issued at the previous Price. Supplier shall promptly refund to Ceribell any overpayment for Product units purchased by Ceribell on or after the new Price effective date. All Prices are stated in US dollars unless agreed and specifically noted otherwise in the applicable Product Schedule and Order. Upon request from Ceribell, Supplier shall invoice at prevailing currency exchange rates.

4.2

Pricing of Raw Materials. Ceribell is responsible for negotiating pricing of raw materials from third party suppliers that are directly or indirectly managed by Ceribell. If Supplier directly procures raw materials from these third party suppliers, the Ceribell pricing shall be used. Supplier shall inform Ceribell when potential opportunities to reduce cost of raw materials are identified.

4.3

Ongoing Cost Reduction. Unless the parties agree to use an alternate cost reduction process, Supplier shall reduce Prices annually when calculated on the entire package of Products purchased by Ceribell. As a common goal, each year the parties will review different opportunities and will reach an agreement on the details of the cost reduction. Supplier's Prices will be driven by a fact-based cost review process, and at Ceribell's request, Supplier shall actively cooperate with Ceribell to identify and implement cost reduction opportunities.

4.4

Payment Terms. Payment terms will be net [***] after production leaves supplier's facility.

4.5

Taxes and Tax Exempt Orders. Supplier shall separately state on each applicable invoice (and not include them in the purchase price), any import duties or sales, use, value added, excise or similar tax. Supplier shall not charge tax if Ceribell is exempt from such taxes and furnishes Supplier with the applicable government certificate of exemption or other verification of such exemption. Ceribell will be responsible for any sales, use, VAT, or similar taxes, customs duties or any other such assessment however designated. Ceribell will not be responsible for any taxes imposed on the income of Supplier. Accordingly, all payments due under this Agreement will be made without deduction or withholding, unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law of any relevant governmental revenue authority then in effect. If Ceribell is required to so deduct or withhold income or profits tax, Ceribell will pay the required amount to the relevant governmental authority; furnish Supplier with evidence of all withholding tax payments paid by Ceribell on behalf of Supplier which, to the extent permitted by law, will be in

C E R I B E L L C O N F I D E N T I A L

the name of Supplier. Supplier's invoice will then be paid net of said withholding tax. Within a reasonable period of time thereafter, Ceribell shall deliver to Supplier all original tax receipts or certified copies or other documentation with respect to the payment of such taxes.

PACKAGING, INSPECTION, AND DELIVERY

5.1

Packaging. Supplier shall pack and ship all Products according to instructions or specifications provided by Ceribell, which may include use of designated carriers and recycled packaging materials. In the absence of any Ceribell instructions or specifications, Supplier shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations in accordance with local legal provisions and regulations agreed upon by both parties, directives, and best commercial practices to ensure safe arrival at destination at the lowest total cost. Packing Instructions: [to be provided to by Ceribell]

5.2

Product Inspection and Return Material Authorization Process

Inspection. Ceribell has the right to inspect and/or test all components and materials shipped by Supplier for nonconformance and/or defects. Ceribell may reject lots that test above defect standards acceptable to Ceribell and require Supplier to immediately replace each Product contained in a rejected lot at Supplier's expense. The standards shall be provided by Ceribell. At its discretion, Ceribell may also choose to have a third party perform such inspections.

Return Material Authorization Process. Ceribell may return Products that it reasonably determines are defective or non-conforming. Product may be identified as defective or non conforming even if the lot was accepted by Ceribell. Ceribell will need to provide evidence that the defects or non-conformities were communicated to Supplier, and that the product is non compliant as a result of Supplier's neglect, negligence or omissions. Title to Products designated for return by Ceribell will revert to Supplier at the time of such designation by or for Ceribell. Supplier shall promptly issue a return material authorization ("RMA") to Ceribell for such Products. At Supplier's request, Ceribell will provide samples of defective or nonconforming Products, or Ceribell may provide photographs or other test/inspection results that clearly identify the nature of the defect. Supplier shall promptly evaluate the samples to identify the root cause of the defect or non-conformance, and shall provide Ceribell with a detailed analysis. Supplier and Ceribell shall work together to identify process improvements to prevent similar occurrences in future Manufacturing Runs. The return of the Products will not affect Ceribell's other rights and remedies under this Agreement or applicable law including, without limitation, the right to reject or revoke acceptance of defective or non-conforming Products. Supplier shall pay all freight expenses for Products returned under this Section 5.2. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 relieves Supplier of its testing, inspection, and quality control obligations.

Inspection Sampling. Ceribell's Product acceptance process may consist of both inspection and testing. Each inspection or testing step may be performed on 100% of all received Product or on a sample of the received Product at Ceribell's discretion. Unless otherwise specified, when performing inspection or testing on a sampling basis, Ceribell will use an Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL) of [***].

Acceptance of Non-Conforming Product. At its discretion, Ceribell may elect to accept Products that fail inspection and/or testing. Acceptance of non-conforming product does not indicate a change to the Product's acceptance criteria. Supplier is still be expected to investigate the defect or non-conformance and to identify process improvements to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Alternative to RMA Process. Ceribell reserves the right to claim a refund from Supplier on defective products or rejected lots instead of receiving replacement Product or repaired/reworked product.

C E R I B E L L C O N F I D E N T I A L

5.3

Delivery. Unless otherwise stated in a Product Schedule, the delivery term for all deliveries is lncoterm EXW (EX-Factory) Origin to Ceribell, whose address is stated in this agreement, Ceribell will inform Supplier about any change of the Ceribell address. For clarity, the date Ceribell's freight forwarder takes possession of the Products at the delivery point does not constitute "receipt" of the Products by Ceribell for the purposes of Section 4.4 above. Ceribell will pay all applicable freight and transportation charges from the delivery point. Supplier's invoice must itemize any and all other applicable charges. No charge will be allowed for packing, labeling, commissions, customs, duties, storage, crating, express handling, or travel, unless specifically indicated on an Order or under a mutually agreed separate logistics support program. Supplier is responsible for loss or damage caused by Supplier and discovered after transfer of title.

Freight forwarder. Supplier shall always use the Freight forwarder appointed by Ceribell, unless an alternative freight forwarder is approved by Ceribell.

5.4

Late Delivery.

Time is of the essence with respect to all deliveries and performance. If Supplier fails to timely perform or deliver, Supplier is liable to Ceribell for (i) all of Ceribell's costs, losses and damages incurred as a result of such delay, including penalties Ceribell must pay to its customers and all costs (including expediting costs) associated with Ceribell's substitution of another supplier's product(s) to cover for Product(s) not delivered by Supplier, or at Ceribell's option, (ii) liquidated damages in the amount of [***] up to a cap of [***] of the purchase price of the delayed Product(s).

Ceribell may immediately cancel, without liability, all Orders or portions of Orders for affected Product(s). For delayed Product(s) that Ceribell continues to require Supplier to provide, Supplier shall use best efforts to expedite delayed Product(s) and/or performance.

Supplier shall notify Ceribell as soon as possible of any changes to delivery dates. In the case of unforeseen events or circumstances outside of the Supplier's control, Ceribell and Supplier may jointly agree to revise the delivery date.
