PURCHASER/LICENSEE and only its immediate subsidiaries added as an additional party for which Services (as
defined below) are to be performed hereunder in accordance with the terms set forth herein are referred to herein
individually as a " PURCHASER/LICENSEE Affiliate" and collectively as “PURCHASER/LICENSEE”. For the
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall mean any corporation, company or other entity controlled by
PURCHASER/LICENSEE, or under common control by PURCHASER/LICENSEE of more than fifty percent
(50%) of the shares of the subject entity, wherein PURCHASER/LICENSEE is entitled to vote in the election of
directors (or, in the case of an entity that is not a corporation, for the election of the corresponding managing
authority) or more than fifty percent (50%) interest in the income of such entity. An entity shall be deemed to be an
Affiliate only so long as such PURCHASER/LICENSEE control exists. PURCHASER/LICENSEE and Licensor
are referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.
WHEREAS, Licensor has expertise in packaging services, packaging design support, assembly and
sterilization. Additionally, Licensor has vast experience in the validation, performance testing, and

or Notified Body, provided that PURCHASER/LICENSEE agrees to comply (and cause its controlled
PURCHASER/LICENSEE Affiliates to comply) with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties to establish this Agreement to govern the respective rights,
duties and obligations of the Parties.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the promises, covenants agreements
hereinafter set forth and in further consideration of certain other valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Services.
1.1. Statements of Work. Because of the geometric specificity of the PATH-System for pre-validated
packaging and the concomitant limitations therein, for each specific Module and size, purchased by
PURCHASER/LICENSEE Party, including data package assembly, production, publication,
verification and delivery services from Licensor under this Agreement, an individual statement of work
(“SOW”) in a mutually agreed upon format (see Exhibit A), shall be executed and delivered on behalf
of the applicable PURCHASER/LICENSEE Party to Licensor. Upon mutual acceptance and execution
of such an SOW, if so executed by Licensor, it shall be binding on the Parties. Each SOW will set forth
the detailed services to be performed thereunder (the "Services"), the detailed specification of the
Master Services & IP Agreement Contract #EM2022-YYY
PATH-System Module purchased and the pricing for included non-exclusive license and use of The IP
and such Services as shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which
are hereby incorporated into each SOW. Licensor shall perform only those Services that are described
in an approved SOW. Unless otherwise provided in an SOW, (a) all Services performed thereunder
shall be performed solely by Licensor employees, its affiliates or, subject to Section 1.4 below, selected
contractors, and (b) Licensor shall furnish, at Licensor’s own expense, all materials, equipment, tools
and supplies necessary to perform the Services. The PURCHASER/LICENSEE Party shall specify in
each SOW its designated representative for the specification, approval and acceptance of the Services to
be provided under the applicable SOW, and Licensor shall designate its project manager.
It is acknowledged by the PARTIES that under known globally recognized international standards,
validated items relating to the safety and efficacy of a medical device, its accessories, packaging or
processing methods, including sterilization, it is understood that such systems cannot be modified, or
any such validations as has been performed and used in the submission for clearance to a notified
regulatory body or national agency (FDA, EU-MDD, etc.), are then rendered invalid as a result of such
modification(s). Thus, PURCHASER/LICENSEE Party acknowledges the unmodifiable nature of The
IP and the physical embodiment of The IP, as necessary requirement for the alignment of
PURCHASER/LICENSEE device embodiment(s) and there subsequent adoption via Engineering
Rationale as a combined system that is considered Validated according to The IP as supplied by
Licensor to PURCHASER/LICENSEE .
1.2. No Change Orders. The applicable PURCHASER/LICENSEE Party acknowledges, understands and
hereby commits to a “NO CHANGE ORDER” policy for the Services and IP specified in any SOW for
the PATH-System. Change requests are further defined in §1.3., below. All such changed Services shall
be performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable SOW.
1.3. Program Conversion in Lieu of Change Order(s)
If PURCHASER/LICENSEE, makes determination, after initiation and purchase of PATH-System
Module(s), but before delivery of actual digital information, that such purchased Module(s) item(s) are
unable to meet the requirements of PURCHASER/LICENSEE, PURCHASER/LICENSEE has the option
to request refund of payment for Module(s) item(s) not received. For potential refund approval detailed
server to server record of non-transmission is required. Upon digital confirmation of delivery of
Module(s) item(s) data packages, PURCHASER/LICENSEE acknowledges that no simple method exists
to guarantee non-proliferation of digital information outside the control of Licensor, and thus can no
longer apply for refund of payment. However, Should customer determine that, after receipt of such
Module(s) item(s) digital data package(s), that such Module(s) item(s) are, insufficient to meet
PURCHASER/LICENSEE’S requirements, Licensor shall provide a conversion option to a traditional
package design and validation program (“Traditional Program”), for which Licensor shall create a draw-
down account for the total value of Module(s) item(s) purchased by PURCHASER/LICENSEE, from
which Licensor shall draw funds toward completion of a Traditional Program as specified by
PURCHASER/LICENSEE. Licensor shall provide a Fixed Price, Traditional Program quotation, that
provides PURCHASER/LICENSEE with an initial understanding of total costs to complete such a
packaging design, test, and validation program. Dependent on the number, type and overall scope of
enjoined Change Order(s) initiated by PURCHASER/LICENSEE, quoted costs may be exceeded and
such excursions shall similarly be documented and drawn down by Licensor to complete the Traditional
Program. Any remaining funds in the draw-down account, at the completion of Traditional Program
validation, shall be refunded to PURCHASER/LICENSEE, along with the accounting of quoted costs,
included change orders and associated fees for the Traditional Program completion. Disagreements
leading to disputes or claims shall be addressed and in compliance with sections; 2., 5., 13., and 14..
1.4. Additional Services. Any PURCHASER/LICENSEE Party may, at any time and in its sole discretion,
request that Licensor respond to a request for proposal for services that are beyond the scope specified
within any existing SOW. In the event that such PURCHASER/LICENSEE Party elects to retain
Master Services & IP Agreement Contract #EM2022-YYY
Licensor to perform any such additional services, the Parties agree that a new SOW or independent
quotation, shall be prepared and executed by authorized representatives of both the applicable
PURCHASER/LICENSEE Party and Licensor. Upon execution of any new SOW, the definition of the
term “Services” shall be deemed amended to include the activities set forth in the new SOW or executed
Purchase Order. All such additional Services shall be performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and the applicable SOW. If executed under Purchase Order, Licensor Medical Packaging Sterilization
Standard Terms and Conditions shall apply.
1.5. Subcontractors. Licensor shall not subcontract, in whole or part, any of its rights or obligations to The
IP under this Agreement. Any additional Services specifically provided in an applicable SOW, may be
subcontracted, with express written agreement by PURCHASER/LICENSEE. Any subcontract for which
PURCHASER/LICENSEE issues its written consent shall be in such form and substance as will not
create any relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the subcontractor (“Subcontractor”) and
PURCHASER/LICENSEE and will not permit Subcontractor to pass through to
PURCHASER/LICENSEE any claim of Subcontractor against Licensor. Licensor shall be solely
responsible for the job performance, actions and/or omissions of the Subcontractor employees in
connection with the Subcontractor performance under this Agreement. Licensor shall include in each
subcontract agreement terms and conditions consistent with the intent of this Agreement.

claim, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against it that, if
adversely decided, might adversely affect Licensor’s ability to enter into this Agreement or the
performance of its obligations hereunder.
7. Independent Contractor.
7.1. Relationship of the Parties. Licensor will perform this Agreement as an independent contractor,
and this Agreement will not be construed to create between the Parties the relationship of
principal and agent, joint-venturers, co-partners, employer and employee, franchiser and
franchisee or any other similar relationship, the existence of which is expressly denied by each
Party. Licensor represents that Licensor is engaged in a similar business for other clients.
Licensor will conduct its business under its own name as an independent contractor and
acknowledges that it is expressly prohibited hereby from holding itself out as an employee,
agent, partner, or representative of PURCHASER/LICENSEE. Any person employed by
Licensor to perform hereunder will not be deemed to be an employee of
PURCHASER/LICENSEE, and Licensor and its supplier(s) or Subcontractor(s) will not be, or
represent themselves to be, officers, employees, agents, or representatives of
PURCHASER/LICENSEE and will not bind, or attempt to bind, PURCHASER/LICENSEE to
any agreement, liability, or obligation of any nature.
7.2. Right to Direct Services. PURCHASER/LICENSEE will have no right to control the manner, means,
or method by which Licensor performs the Services called for by this Agreement in generating,
producing, publishing, transmitting, documenting, retaining and or similar related activities to any
deliverable of The IP. Rather, PURCHASER/LICENSEE will be entitled only to direct Licensor with
respect to the elements of The IP, to be performed by Licensor, such as selection and purchase of
specific PATH Module(s), and the results to be derived by PURCHASER/LICENSEE.
7.3. No Right to Participate in PURCHASER/LICENSEE Plans. Because Licensor is engaged in its own
Master Services & IP Agreement Contract #EM2022-YYY
independent business, Licensor and its employees and agents and those of any Subcontractor are not
eligible for and will not participate in PURCHASER/LICENSEE’s retirement plans, insurance plans,
and any other benefits normally afforded to employees of PURCHASER/LICENSEE. Licensor will bear
all responsibility and liability for the payment of all federal, state, and local income taxes due on money
received from PURCHASER/LICENSEE under each SOW and filing all appropriate tax returns and
other forms with respect thereto. Moreover, Licensor will be solely responsible for any workers’
compensation, FICA, withholding tax, unemployment compensation, and any other federal or state
payment in connection with the Services or The IP.

8.17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION
a. In the event of any dispute or claim between Licensor and PURCHASER/LICENSEE under this
Agreement or arising out of or in connection with the interpretation of or performance under the
Policies & Standards, the parties hereto agree to submit such disputes to binding arbitration before a
panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules, as amended from

one (1) arbitrator selected by each party with the third arbitrator being selected by the other two (2)
arbitrators. The arbitration proceedings shall be undertaken in as expeditious a manner as possible.
The arbitration proceedings shall take place in Orlando, Florida. Judgment upon any award rendered
by the arbitrators shall be entered into any court having competent jurisdiction without any right of
appeal. Each party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration, and the expenses of the arbitrators and
the arbitration proceeding shall be shared equally. However, if in the opinion of a majority of the
arbitrators any claim or defense was unreasonable, then the arbitrators may assess, as part of their
award, all or any part of the arbitration expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs) and of the arbitrators and the arbitration proceeding.
8.18. Insurance. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Licensor shall, at a minimum and at its own expense,

PURCHASER/LICENSEE as an additional insured, and (ii) otherwise extend Licensor’s insurance
to PURCHASER/LICENSEE with respect to losses arising out of negligence in Licensor’s
performance or provision of The IP, or related Services under this Agreement. The Required
Insurance must not be canceled or materially changed without at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to PURCHASER/LICENSEE, under the duration of this Agreement. The Required
Insurance shall be provided by insurers with an A.M. Best rating of not less than A- / VIII or
otherwise satisfactory to PURCHASER/LICENSEE. If Licensor uses any Subcontractor in the
performance or provision of Services under this Agreement, Licensor will ensure that such
Subcontractor is covered by the Required Insurance or maintains its own insurance that meets such
requirements and will furnish PURCHASER/LICENSEE with evidence that such requirement has
been met.
9. Confidentiality / Confidential Information.
9.1. PURCHASER/LICENSEE Confidential Information. During the Term of this Agreement and
surviving its expiration or termination, Licensor will regard and preserve as trade secrets, all present and
proposed future business activities and all proprietary and confidential information related to the business
of PURCHASER/LICENSEE and its Affiliates and its or their customers, vendors, employees, and/or
agents that may be obtained from any source, whether written or oral, as well as all information on
PURCHASER/LICENSEE’s mainframe, LANs and workstations and all software, middleware, firmware,
groupware and licensed internal code and groupware whether owned or licensed currently or in the future
accessed by Licensor by any direct or remote access method and also including but not limited to any
information relating to the pricing, software or technical information, hardware, methods, processes,
financial data, lists, apparatus, statistics, program, research, development or related information of
PURCHASER/LICENSEE and its Affiliates and its or their customers, vendors, employees and/or agents
concerning past, present, or proposed future business activities of said entities, and/or the results of the
provision of Services (collectively “PURCHASER/LICENSEE Confidential Information”). Upon the
written request by PURCHASER/LICENSEE, Licensor shall deliver to PURCHASER/LICENSEE all
items, including, but not limited to, drawings, descriptions, test data or other papers or documents,
Licensor and/or its personnel have in their possession that contain any PURCHASER/LICENSEE
Confidential Information that were furnished to Licensor by PURCHASER/LICENSEE and will destroy
all notes, analyses, interpretations, memoranda and other documents, materials or reports (in any form or
medium) that were prepared by or for Licensor that contain, reflect, or are based upon, in whole or in
part, PURCHASER/LICENSEE Confidential Information that Licensor shall remain liable and be
responsible for the Licensor’s employees and Subcontractors compliance with the confidentiality
obligations set forth herein.
9.2. Confidentiality and Non-use. In addition to the requirements of Section 9.1., any information provided
in connection with the Services that is designated by Licensor (“Disclosing Party”) as confidential or
that by nature of the information disclosed, Licensor or PURCHASER/LICENSEE (“Receiving Party”)
reasonably should know such information is confidential, will be held in confidence. The Receiving Party
will use at the least the same level of care to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of such
confidential information as it exercises in protecting its own information of a similar nature, but in no
event less than a reasonable standard of care. The Receiving Party will not, without the prior written
consent of the Disclosing Party, make use of the confidential information disclosed to it other than for the
Master Services & IP Agreement Contract #EM2022-YYY
purpose of performance of this Agreement, or disclose the confidential information to any person, party,
or entity except to such of its officers, employees, and consultants to whom disclosure is necessary and
who have been made aware that the confidential information is confidential and are bound to treat it as
such.
9.3. Exceptions. The confidentiality and non-use obligations of this Agreement will not apply to the following
as established by reasonable proof: (a) information that at the time of disclosure is in the public domain;
(b) information that, after disclosure, becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise,
except through a breach of this Agreement; (c) information that the Receiving Party can establish was in
its possession prior to disclosure or was subsequently and independently developed by employees of or
on behalf of the Receiving Party without use, direct or indirect, of information required to be held
confidential hereunder information approved in writing by the Disclosing Party for release by the
Receiving Party; information that is or was received by the Receiving Party from a third party having
legal right to transmit the same, free of any obligation of confidence; or (f) the communication is in
response to a valid order by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by law, provided,
however, in the event that Receiving Party is requested pursuant to, or required by applicable law,
regulation or legal process such as interrogatory, request for information or documents, subpoena,
deposition or civil investigative demand to disclose any Confidential Information, Receiving Party shall
notify Disclosing Party so that Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate remedy or waive compliance
with the terms hereof. If the Disclosing Party waives compliance with respect to a specific request or
requirement, Recipient shall disclose only that portion of the confidential information that is covered by
such waiver and that is necessary to disclose in order to comply with such request or requirement. If, in
the absence of a waiver by the disclosing party, the Disclosing Party has not secured a protective order
or other appropriate remedy and Receiving Party is nonetheless compelled to disclose any confidential
information, the Receiving Party may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the
confidential information that is in the good faith determination of the Receiving Party after discussion
with outside counsel necessary to be disclosed.
9.4. Injunctive Relief. Receiving Party acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of
confidential information of the Disclosing Party may give rise to irreparable injury to the
Disclosing Party and that injury may not be adequately compensated by damages, and that
accordingly, the Disclosing Party may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the Receiving Party
to prevent the breach or threatened breach of any promise made in this Agreement in addition to
any other legal remedies that may be available to the Disclosing Party.
10. No Conflicts. Licensor represents that it is not now under any obligation to assign inventions or other
