QUALITY AGREEMENT: 
Attached as Exhibit D
________________________________________________________________________


THIS MATERIALS SUPPLIER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the Effective Date indicated above, (the “Effective Date”) by and between Insulet Corporation, a Delaware corporation, on behalf of itself and its worldwide affiliates, having a principal place of business at 600 Technology Park Drive, Suite 200, Billerica, MA 01821 (“Insulet”), and Flextronics Medical Sales and Marketing, Ltd, a Mauritius, on behalf of itself and its worldwide affiliates, having a principal place of business at Level 3, Alexander House 35, Cybercity, Ebene, Mauritius (the “Supplier”).  Insulet and Supplier are referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.


For and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:


		
	1.
	General.  This Agreement, together with all schedules and exhibits attached hereto along with all documents and/or prior agreements expressly incorporated by reference is the entire agreement and will be the controlling document in business dealings between the Parties with respect to the Products (as defined in Section 3 below) supplied hereunder.  It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements (including without limitation that certain Manufacturing Services Agreement by and between the Parties dated as of January 3, 2007, as amended to date), purchase orders and acknowledgments between the Parties relating to such Products, except as expressly stated below.  Purchase commitments will be made only by means of Purchase Orders as defined in Section 6(a)(ii) below.  Insulet and Supplier preprinted terms and conditions on any future purchase order, invoice, acknowledgment or other standard form shall not apply unless expressly agreed to in the particular case by both Parties in writing.


Any subsidiary or affiliate of Insulet shall have the right to purchase products under this Agreement by providing written notice to Supplier of such subsidiary or affiliate’s intention to purchase Products hereunder in advance of issuing any Purchase Orders.  Supplier agrees, and each such subsidiary or affiliate who places orders under this Agreement agrees (by the act of placing such orders), that all

EXHIBIT 10.1





terms and conditions of the Agreement shall apply to such orders and resulting purchases as if the name of the subsidiary or affiliate was substituted for the term “Insulet” wherever it appears in this Agreement.  Supplier will bill each Insulet subsidiary and affiliate separately for all products provided to such subsidiary or affiliate and Supplier agrees to collect from Affiliates first, if however the Affiliate fails to pay any undisputed amounts within [*] days after notice by Supplier, Supplier may then invoice any outstanding undisputed amounts to Insulet.  Each subsidiary or affiliate will only be liable for those obligations expressly applicable to such subsidiary or affiliate whether set forth in this Agreement or the Exhibit to which it is a party.
Also, at Insulet’s option and written direction, Supplier will allow Insulet’s designated “Higher Level Supplier(s)” to purchase Products (as defined below), under the terms of this Agreement, solely for the purpose of incorporating those Products into products that the Higher Level Supplier produces for Insulet.  In such event, Supplier shall sell the Products to such Higher Level Supplier(s), subject to Supplier’s reasonable credit approval of the Higher Level Supplier(s) and subject to such Higher Level Suppliers(s) written agreement to be bound by Supplier’s reasonable terms of sale; provided that such terms of sale are consistent with the terms contained herein.  The pricing for such sales shall be the pricing provided herein.  The Higher Level Supplier(s) shall be solely responsible for payment for Products, and for other payments provided herein based on the Delivery Schedule, the Flexibility Schedule and the Supply Chain Profiles, all as detailed below, on the same basis that Insulet would be responsible if Insulet were providing the Delivery Schedule.  However, all matters with respect to Products sold to the Higher Level Suppliers shall be handled directly between Supplier and Insulet under the terms of this Agreement. 
		
	2.
	Term of Agreement.  The initial term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall be for the period identified above as “Initial Contract Term”, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 16 herein.  Upon the expiration of the Initial Contract Term, the term of this Agreement shall automatically extend until the earlier of:  (a) termination of this Agreement by (i) Insulet upon at least [*] ([*]) [*] prior written notice to Supplier or (ii) Supplier upon at least [*] ([*]) [*] prior written notice to Insulet; or (b) replacement of this Agreement by another written agreement of the Parties.  The Initial Contract Term together with any extensions as provided by this Section 2 is referred to in this Agreement as the “Term”.


		
	3.
	Products; Supply Commitment.  


		
	a.
	Products.  This Agreement covers purchases of products listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference or added to Exhibit A as provided below (collectively, “Products”).  Each Product is defined by reference to a Insulet drawing (each, a “Drawing”).  Drawings are referenced by part number and revision level and may include and/or reference:  specifications, test instructions, quality instructions, manufacturing instructions, assembly instructions and a bill of materials (including approved vendors).  Each Drawing and all documents referenced therein, as well as all revisions to Drawings made in accordance with this Section 3, are referred to in this Agreement as the “Specifications” for the Products covered by the Drawing.  For each business day Supplier shall provide to Insulet a daily report, in an electronic format, detailing all the applicable information relating to the manufacture of Products in a form mutually agreed to by the Parties.  Supplier agrees to provide such reports in a form and to include such information and metrics that Insulet may request from time to time.

EXHIBIT 10.1





		
	b.
	Additional Products.  From time to time, the Parties may mutually agree to add Products to this Agreement by executing an amended Exhibit A.  However, in the absence of an amended Exhibit A, if Supplier issues a written price quotation to Insulet (whether in response to a Drawing submitted by Insulet, as part of a pricing event contemplated by this Section 3 or Sections 4, or as part of a new product proposal by Supplier), and Insulet places order(s) for such product, then such product shall automatically be deemed added to Exhibit A at the price quoted and shall be deemed a Product under this Agreement.


		
	c.
	Changes to Specifications.  Drawings may be revised from time to time as mutually agreed in writing between the Parties (either by execution of an amended Exhibit A that references the new revision level or other writings of the Parties).  Supplier shall not unreasonably withhold approval to Drawings or Specifications changes proposed in writing by Insulet (each change an “Engineering Change” or “EC”).  Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate the feasibility of the EC requested by Insulet within [*] ([*]) business days of receipt and respond to Insulet in writing with the potential impact of the EC on current on-hand or on-order component inventory, work-in-progress Products (“WIP”), finished goods Products, and/or the Delivery Schedule.  In addition to the written response provided above, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Insulet within [*] ([*]) business days with a written evaluation of the EC including:  (i) engineering time to implement the EC, (ii) the cost to modify Tools or test fixtures or similar non-recurring expenses, (iii) the quantity of Obsolete Items (as defined in Section 8(a) below) Supplier has on hand and/or on order with its suppliers related to the EC, (iv) the cost to rework WIP (if applicable) and any impacts to Product price resulting from the EC, (v) the expected effect on the Delivery Schedule to include (if applicable) the effect on all in-process work (e.g., re-workable, repairable, etc.), (vi) any changes to Supply Chain Profiles, and (vii) the manner in which the EC will be implemented by Supplier.  Supplier will not proceed to implement the EC until Insulet has approved the charges and Supplier actions described in the Supplier evaluation that is provided to Insulet.


		
	d.
	Manufacturing and Delivery Commitment.  For the Term of this Agreement, Supplier commits to supply to Insulet, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, such quantities of the Products listed on Exhibit A (including those added as provided above) as Insulet may choose to order under the terms of this Agreement and which Supplier has agreed to supply in accordance with the terms hereof.  There are no purchase volume commitments by Insulet under this Agreement (except for the binding forecast in Section 6(a)(i)), and Insulet reserves the right to purchase the Products or similar items from other suppliers.  If Supplier fails to deliver the total quantity of Products ordered by Insulet in any Purchase Order by the date of delivery specified therein, then, (i) at Insulet’s option, Insulet may have the remaining portion of the order of Product shipped by air freight at Supplier’s sole cost and expense and (ii) Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify the root cause of the failure and provide such information to Insulet as soon as reasonably possible.  Thereafter, the Parties agree to engage in a management review and remediation process to prevent such failure from reoccurring.  Regardless of whether Insulet orders replacement or substitute Products from another source, Supplier shall remain obligated to deliver the total quantity ordered by Insulet, unless Insulet notifies Supplier that Insulet is canceling its order with respect to the amount of the shortfall.

	4.
	Prices.  


		
	a.
	General.  During the Term, prices shall be calculated in accordance with the price model set forth on Exhibit A (including those for Products added to Exhibit A as provided in Section 3 above).  All prices shall be in U.S. Dollars.  The purchase price shall include all costs for adequate packaging as suitable for transport by road and/or as further specified under the Specifications listed in this Exhibit A.


		
	b.
	Cost Reduction. Supplier hereby agrees to identify areas wherein cost savings can be realized and passed on to Insulet through productivity improvements and cost savings (“Cost Savings”).  Such Cost Savings shall be reflected as a reduction of prices set forth in Exhibit A.  Supplier hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to [*]; provided, that Insulet will review and approve any recommended productivity change requested by Supplier as soon as practicable after submission of such change; provided, further, in each case, that such requested change does not otherwise adversely impact the quality of the Products.


		
	c.
	Process Improvements.  In the event Supplier implements any operational excellence or other process improvements at Insulet’s suggestion and under Insulet’s guidance, Supplier shall pass 100% of the savings attributable to such improvement, after Supplier recoups costs and expenses specifically and actually incurred by Supplier as a result of the development and implementation of such improvements (if any), along to Insulet and such savings shall not be included in the Productivity Savings Goal set forth above.  


		
	d.
	Business Review.  Insulet may conduct reviews of the Supplier’s operations, books and records, and other documentation relating to the pricing model and components thereof agreed to by the parties at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, annually during the Term and more often as may reasonably be necessary in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.


		
	e.
	Taxes.  Except to the extent that Insulet’s purchase of the Products is exempt from such taxes as evidenced by a written certification of exemption provided by Insulet, Insulet shall bear all applicable sales, use, excise, value added (VAT) or similar federal, state, municipal and other taxes payable with respect to the sale by Supplier to Insulet of the Products as finished goods and any property taxes assessable on the Products after delivery to Insulet.  If Supplier is required to collect and remit any such taxes, then Supplier shall add such taxes to the invoice for sale of the Products, and Supplier agrees to remit such taxes as collected to the proper taxing authorities.  With respect to the medical device excise tax pursuant to IRC §4191 (“MDET”), Supplier hereby acknowledges and agrees that for purposes of this Agreement, Insulet shall be deemed the holder of the regulatory filing with respect to all applicable products and is therefore deemed the manufacturer of such products.  Furthermore, Insulet shall be deemed the responsible payor with respect to MDET and Supplier hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not remit or make any payments with respect thereto.  To the extent that Supplier does remit or make payment for MDET, Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Insulet will not reimburse Supplier for any portion of such payments.  Supplier shall be responsible for payment of any taxes relating to the Products or production thereof that are not based on transfer of the Products to Insulet or that are based on the income of Supplier (rather than on the transfer of the Products).  Each Party hereby indemnifies the

other Party for any government claims or fines, other than the amount of any tax owed by such Party and not paid to the other Party, against such Party due to the other Party’s failure to remit or pay to applicable taxing authorities any taxes or similar charges that are the responsibility of the other Party to pay or remit, including any taxes collected from such Party for remittance by the other Party.  In the event Insulet is required to withhold taxes from amounts paid to Supplier hereunder and remit such taxes to a taxing authority, Supplier expressly authorizes Insulet to do so.
		
	5.
	Shipping.


		
	a.
	Shipping Terms.  The Parties agree that the shipping terms for each Product sold hereunder on Exhibit A shall be [*] (Incoterm 2010) [*] facility as specified by the parties.  Except as otherwise set forth on Exhibit A, the following terms shall apply to all Products and components Supplier purchases for use in manufacturing the Products: [*] shall arrange for shipping through carriers designated by [*] who will invoice the shipping charges directly to [*] for all inbound and outbound shipments to and from Supplier for or on behalf of Insulet.  (Alternatively, if directed by Insulet, Supplier shall arrange shipping (pursuant to instructions which Supplier shall request from Insulet's Shipping Department) and prepay and add the shipping charges to the invoice as a separate line item).  Supplier shall bear all risk of loss or damage to Products until the Products are delivered to [*].  Supplier shall obtain, at Supplier’s expense, all export licenses and shall carry out all customs formalities related to the export of the goods.  Insulet agrees to provide Supplier, within [*] ([*]) days of request, with each of the following in order to enable Supplier to fulfill its responsibility for export formalities: (i) export control classification numbers and harmonized tariff schedule information for Insulet’s assemblies and sub-assemblies; (ii) information sufficient to allow Supplier to clear shipments under laws and regulations pertaining to restricted parties and/or prohibited countries; and (iii) other information in Insulet’s possession that Supplier reasonably requests to assist in fulfilling Supplier’s export clearance responsibilities.  Insulet shall obtain, at Insulet’s expense, all import licenses and shall pay all import customs duties and fees, as well as carrying out all custom formalities and shall be the importer of record, unless otherwise indicated on Exhibit A.  Title for the Products shall transfer upon delivery to carrier.


		
	b.
	Anti-Terrorism Measures.  Supplier agrees to designate, (and in the event Insulet designates, then Insulet agrees to designate,) only freight carriers that are currently in compliance with all applicable laws relating to anti-terrorism security measures and to adhere to the C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) security recommendations and guidelines as outlined by the United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection and to prohibit the freight carriage to be sub-contracted to any carrier that is not in compliance with the C-TPAT guidelines.

EXHIBIT 10.1





covering at least a [*] ([*]) month period.  Unless otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, the first [*] ([*]) months of the forecast/schedule will include specific delivery dates; the remainder of the forecast/schedule will identify monthly quantities.  The forecast/schedule described in this subsection (i) is called the “Delivery Schedule”.  The Delivery Schedule will be updated at least once every month and will be subject to the change provisions set forth in Section 6(b) below.  Within the Delivery Schedule, each quantity that Insulet indicates for a particular delivery date or time period (e.g., a time period where quantities are shown only on a monthly basis) is known as a “Scheduled Delivery”.
		
	ii.
	Order Methods.  Insulet may place orders under this Agreement for quantities and delivery dates or time periods by giving Supplier prior written notice consistent with the agreed to lead time for the applicable Product as set forth in the applicable Exhibit; provided, that if no such lead time is identified, at least [*] ([*]) days prior written notice.  These orders may be in the form of the Delivery Schedule described in Section 6(a)(i) above or standard purchase order documents (which may be “standalone” purchase orders or “blanket purchase orders” with quantities scheduled by “releases”) or other written means mutually arranged by the Parties (each a “Purchase Order” and collectively the “Purchase Orders”).  Regardless of the means by which Insulet informs Supplier of quantities and delivery dates, each quantity that Insulet indicates for a particular delivery date or time period is known as a “Scheduled Delivery”. 


		
	b.
	Delivery Schedules; Updates; Procedure; Changes.  Supplier agrees to supply Scheduled Deliveries that Insulet submits in accordance with Section 6(a) above, as increased or decreased by Insulet within the permitted changes allowed under the Flexibility Table referenced in Section 6(c) below without any expedited cost or expense; provided, however, that any Scheduled Deliveries may also be cancelled by Insulet in accordance with Section 15 below (Cancellation for Convenience), including the financial responsibility provisions in such Section 15, or cancelled by an applicable party for cause as provided in Section 16 below (Cancellations for Cause, including the financial responsibility provisions in such Section 16); and provided, further, that if the Parties mutually agree to changes for Scheduled Deliveries that are beyond the scope of the changes permitted in the Flexibility Table, then Supplier shall supply those revised Scheduled Deliveries.  


		
	c.
	Zones.  At any particular time, each Scheduled Delivery (or forecasted quantity) is considered to fall into one of a number of zones as shown in the “Flexibility Table” attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference (each a “Zone” and collectively the “Zones”), depending on how much calendar time remains until the date of that Scheduled Delivery (or forecasted quantity).  For any Scheduled Delivery, Insulet may (i) increase or decrease the quantity of Products or (ii) reschedule the quantity of Products and their shipment dates in accordance with the Flexibility Table.  In the event that Insulet cancels quantities outside the Frozen Zone beyond the amounts of allowable quantity decreases in the Scheduled Delivery Change Table), such cancellations will be subject to the provisions of Section 15 below (Cancellation for Convenience), including the financial responsibility provisions in such Section 15, or the provisions of Section 16 below (Cancellations for Cause), including the financial responsibility provisions in such Section 16.

	d.
	Supplier Response to Purchase Orders and Delivery Schedules.  Whenever Insulet submits Delivery Schedule information, whether by means of a Purchase Order, change order, purchase order “release” or revised Delivery Schedule, Supplier agrees to respond to Insulet (by fax, email or equivalent written media) within [*] ([*]) business days after receipt.  The response should confirm receipt of the Purchase Order, change order, release or revised Delivery Schedule and inform Insulet if Supplier objects to any part of that submission as being contrary to the requirements of this Section 6.  With respect to the information submitted per this Section 6(d), if Supplier does not object to the Delivery Schedule information within those [*] ([*]) business days, then all portions of the Delivery Schedule will be deemed to comply with the requirements of Section 6.


		
	e.
	Stocking Hub.  If mutually agreed by the Parties from time to time, including quantities and cost in a subsequent written agreement, for Products produced by Supplier which are consumed in a Insulet factory or by another supplier (not Distribution Center), Supplier may agree to establish one (1) or more warehousing sites (each, a “Hub”) in or near the respective Insulet factories to which the Products will ultimately be delivered by Supplier.  Supplier will stock such of the Products as the Parties may mutually agree at each such Hub from which orders by the applicable Insulet facility(ies) will be fulfilled.  Supplier will retain ownership of such Products and shall bear the risk of loss or damage (for which Supplier shall maintain adequate insurance) while at the Hub(s) and until they are delivered to the Insulet facility or Insulet picks them up from the Hub, whichever occurs first.  Insulet may terminate the arrangements for a particular Hub or Product(s) on at least [*] ([*]) days’ written notice to Supplier, and upon termination of the Hub, Insulet shall purchase all Products in the Hubs affected by the termination at the applicable Product price.


For mutually agreed Hubs and Products, Supplier shall at all times maintain in the Hub a target quantity of buffer inventory (“Buffer Inventory”) of Product (which may be based on currently Scheduled Deliveries/Forecast out [*] ([*]) months).  This Buffer Inventory is in addition to finished goods and WIP that Supplier needs to maintain in order to fill Scheduled Deliveries.  The Buffer Inventory is required to shorten lead time of the Products as well as guard against disruptions in raw materials supply.  Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill any new Hub with Product and the required Buffer Inventory within [*] ([*]) days of the Parties’ agreement to stock a Hub.  As a result of stocking Buffer Inventory, Product lead times will be reduced and may be less than [*] ([*]) calendar days.  Supplier may invoice for and ship to Insulet any Product that remains in the Hub longer than [*] ([*]) days, provided that Supplier has not stocked the Hub with more than the agreed-upon target level of Buffer Inventory for such Hub.
Insulet may draw any or all of the Buffer Inventory from a Hub at any time, upon notice to Supplier, and Supplier will deliver Product to Insulet from the Buffer Inventory.  When Insulet draws down on the Buffer Inventory, Supplier shall have [*] ([*]) days to replenish the Buffer Inventory to the thirty (30) day level.
		
	f.
	Invoices.  Invoices for purchases will be issued to and payable by the Insulet business unit, affiliate or subsidiary that placed the order for the purchases.  Similarly, any applicable cancellation charges under Sections 15 or 16 below or materials or components charges under Section 8 below will be payable by the Insulet business unit, affiliate or subsidiary that cancelled the order or for whom the materials or components were

acquired.  Payment terms will be [*] ([*]%)/[*] ([*]), net [*] ([*]) days from receipt of invoice.
In the event of a dispute between the parties regarding any invoice, the parties will in good faith attempt to work out an amicable resolution.  Upon written request of either party, the business contact of each Party shall promptly confer and exert their commercially reasonable efforts without the necessity of any formal proceeding related thereto to reach a reasonable and equitable resolution of a dispute under this Agreement.  If such business contacts of each party are unable to resolve the dispute within ten (10) business days, the dispute shall be referred to the responsible senior management of each party for resolution.  Neither party shall seek any other means of resolving any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement until both parties’ responsible senior managements have had at least ten (10) business days to resolve the dispute following its referral to them.  In the event that the parties are unable to resolve the dispute to the satisfaction of both parties, then either party shall pursue further remedies under this Agreement.

	Supply Chain Profiles.  Insulet shall provide to Supplier and maintain a list of approved materials suppliers (the “Approved Supplier List” or “ASL”).  Supplier agrees to only purchase the materials required to manufacture the Product from suppliers on the then current ASL.  Supplier shall prepare supply chain profiles providing the categories of information indicated in Exhibit C which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (each, a “Supply Chain Profile” and collectively, the “Supply Chain Profiles”) for all materials and components used to produce the Products.  


Supplier will provide the Supply Chain Profiles to Insulet by close of business on the first (1st) Friday of each calendar quarter.  The Supply Chain Profiles will state the specific information set forth in Exhibit C, by material or component type, per bill of material, for each Product.  During the Parties’ review of the Supply Chain Profiles, Supplier shall communicate (a) Insulet’s total potential financial responsibility, by material or component type, calculated in accordance with Section 8 below, (b) known supply chain risks and an analysis and mitigation plan, and (c) any localization, alternate sourcing or value engineering opportunities.  Other than as set forth in Section 15 (Cancellation for Convenience) and Section 16 (Cancellation for Cause), Insulet shall be financially responsible for materials or components in accordance with the mutually agreed-upon Supply Chain Profiles and in accordance with Section 8 below.
		
	8.
	Insulet Responsibility for Obsolete and Aged Items of Component and Materials.  


Insulet expects that Supplier will order sufficient materials and components to meet Insulet’s requirements under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all Scheduled Deliveries that Insulet submits in accordance with Section 6(a) above, as increased or decreased by Insulet within the permitted changes allowed under the Flexibility Table referenced in Section 6(c) without any expedited cost or expense.  Insulet recognizes that Supplier may need to order components and materials to cover future needs for production of Products based on the Delivery Schedule, the Flexibility Table, the minimum package quantities (“MPQs”), the volume pricing quantities (“VPQs”), and/or the lead times identified in the mutually agreed-upon Supply Chain Profile (per Section 7 above).

EXHIBIT 10.1





Therefore, in the following circumstances, Insulet will have responsibility to purchase excess or obsolete components or materials from Supplier but only to the extent provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 15(a) below (regardless of whether a cancellation for convenience has occurred):
		
	a.
	If Insulet discontinues the purchase of the Products for which such components or materials were purchased or modifies a Product to eliminate the use of a particular component or material, and such components or materials cannot be used within the next [*] ([*]) months in other Products that Supplier is manufacturing for Insulet (“Obsolete Items”), then Insulet’s responsibility applies to all such items in Supplier’s inventory that Supplier was authorized to purchase in accordance with the MPQs, VPQs, and lead times identified in the applicable Supply Chain Profile or, in the case that a component or material was not required to be included in the Supply Chain Profiles per Section 7, then the actual MPQs, VPQs, and lead times for such component shall apply; or


		
	b.
	In the event that any material or component procured by Supplier that is not required to satisfy demand in the next [*] ([*]) days, such materials and components become “Excess Items”.  Insulet shall, upon written demand from Supplier, either: (i) provide Supplier with a Purchase Order for Products to consume Excess Items within [*] ([*]) days or a Purchase Order to purchase the Excess Items themselves, (ii) pay Supplier a cash deposit in the amount of the cost of the Excess Items which shall be reconciled by the Parties quarterly, or (iii) begin paying to Supplier monthly an inventory carrying charge of one and [*] percent ([*]%) of the cost of the Excess Items, plus applicable manufacturing overhead (“MOH”).


Notwithstanding the foregoing, any material or component procured by Supplier for an Insulet new product initiative shall be considered “NPI Items” up until IQ for Products built on substantially new manufacturing lines and first commercial build on existing manufacturing lines.  Regardless of [*], NPI Items shall not be [*]; provided, however, that any NPI Items [*] shall be [*].  Supplier hereby agrees to [*].
For all Excess Items that Insulet purchases under this Section 8, Supplier shall [*], and Supplier shall [*].  For Obsolete Items that are purchased by Insulet, Insulet will provide direction to Supplier on the disposition of such items, the cost and manner of disposition shall be mutually agreed to by the Parties within [*] ([*]) days.  If an agreement on cost and manner of disposition is not reached within [*] ([*]) days, Supplier may dispose of the items in a commercially reasonable manner.
The monetary amount stated as Insulet’s potential financial responsibility for materials and components, as indicated from time to time in the Supply Chain Profiles provided under Section 7 above, is prior to any potential reduction for restocking of material or components to Supplier’s vendors or use of materials or components for other customers, it being agreed that prior to charging Insulet for materials or components in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, Supplier must use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Insulet’s financial responsibility for materials and components by using the materials and components to satisfy other customers orders prior to attempting to return materials and components to the vendor.  Insulet’s financial responsibility under this Section 8 shall not apply to materials or components that are otherwise covered under Section 15(a) below due to a Cancellation for Convenience, or that are otherwise covered under Section 16(b) below due to a Cancellation for Cause.

	Fill Rate.  The dates for Scheduled Deliveries are the dates by which the material must meet Insulet’s Fill Rate requirement.  Scheduled Deliveries, in the exact quantities scheduled, between the due date and up to [*] ([*]) Insulet manufacturing days early will be considered on-time.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Fill Rate” shall mean the Product being received by the appropriate carrier on the date specified by Insulet.


Insulet reserves the right to refuse delivery of excess quantities or of Products that exceed or do not meet Fill Rate requirements.  Supplier is responsible for the excess cost of premium freight over regular freight when shipping Products to meet Scheduled Deliveries to the extent that the delay in shipment was caused by Supplier.  For the avoidance of doubt Supplier shall not be responsible for delays caused solely by Insulet or a force majeure event. 


With each delivery, Supplier will provide a packing list showing, for each Product shipped: the Insulet part number and revision level, the number of pieces shipped, the Scheduled Delivery date and quantity and the Purchase Order number(s).  The same information will be provided on invoices and in both machine readable and human readable format as agreed by the Parties.
		
	10.
	Quality; Acceptance; Test Data; Failure Analysis.  


		
	a.
	Acceptance criteria for Products is [*] percent ([*]%) conformance to the Specifications and to the requirements set forth in the Quality Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by reference (the “Quality Agreement”).  Products may be returned within a reasonable time frame if non-conformance to the Specifications is discovered by Insulet at incoming inspection, source inspection, and/or on Insulet's shop floor (e.g., during Insulet's final test of the Insulet products which contain the Products supplied by Supplier).  An entire shipment may be rejected based on reasonable sampling by Insulet in light of the nature of the Product and nature of the non‐conformance.  Payment for Products does not constitute acceptance if a non‐conformance is subsequently discovered as provided above.  Within [*] ([*]) manufacturing days after Supplier receives notification of Product rejection by Insulet, Supplier shall issue a Returned Materials Authorization (“RMA”) number to Insulet to facilitate return or disposition of the products.  Issuance of the RMA number is procedural only and is not an admission that the Products are nonconforming.  If the RMA number is not received in that time, Insulet may return the Products to Supplier without an RMA number.


		
	b.
	For purposes of this Agreement, “Epidemic Failure Event” shall mean the occurrence of the same failure resulting from a breach of the Product Warranty (excluding the [*] ([*]) month Product Warranty Period which is replaced by the [*] ([*]) month period in (ii) below) (i) attributable to the same root cause found in [*] percent ([*]%) or more of units of a particular Product,  shipped by Supplier during a consecutive [*] ([*]) month period where such failure is verified by Supplier and Insulet, or an independent third party determined by Insulet subject to Supplier’s reasonable consent, such consent not unreasonably withheld; and (ii) occurring within [*] ([*]) months after the date of delivery of the Products.  


		
	c.
	Upon occurrence of a suspected Epidemic Failure Event, Insulet shall promptly notify Supplier, and shall provide, if known and as may exist, a description of the failure, and the suspected lot numbers, serial numbers or other identifiers, and delivery dates, of the failed Products.  Insulet shall make available to Supplier, samples of the failed Products

for testing and analysis.  Upon receipt of Product from Insulet, Supplier shall promptly provide its preliminary findings regarding the cause of the failure.  The Parties shall cooperate and work together to determine root cause.  Thereafter, Supplier shall promptly provide the results of its root cause corrective analysis, and if it is determined to be an Epidemic Failure Event, its proposed plan for the identification of and the replacement of the affected Products, and such other appropriate information.  Supplier shall recommend a corrective action program which identifies the affected units for replacement, and which minimizes disruption to the end user.  Insulet and Supplier shall consider, evaluate and determine the corrective action program.  In the event the test equipment necessary to test and analyze the defective product is no longer in Supplier’s possession due to a planned phase-out of such equipment, Insulet and Supplier shall identify an alternative method (including without limitation timing and cost elements) by which to test and analyze the Epidemic Failure Event to both Parties’ satisfaction.  Upon occurrence of an Epidemic Failure Event, Supplier shall replace or, at Supplier’s option, issue a credit or payment to Insulet in an amount equal to the cost to Insulet for replacement Products; (b) reimburse all direct, reasonable, and documented labor, equipment and processing costs incurred by Insulet solely as a result of the implementation of the corrective action program for such Epidemic Failure Event, including test procedures and the testing of Products subject to the total limitation of liability in Section 20(f) below; and (c) reimburse freight, transportation, expedited shipping costs, customs, duties, insurance, storage, handling and other shipping costs incurred by Insulet solely in connection with the replacement of the affected Products.
		
	d.
	Supplier agrees to execute and deliver, upon request from Insulet, Supplier's standard form of compliance certificate certifying Supplier's compliance with the requirements imposed by this Agreement and by applicable laws, regulations and industry standards and setting forth the country or countries of which the articles are a product.  This compliance certificate must identify the shipment by shipment date, part number, revision number, quantity, and lot or serial numbers, as applicable.  The compliance certificate must also set forth the country or countries of which the articles are a product.

	Tooling and Other Property Furnished by Insulet.  Exhibit F attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference contains terms and conditions relating to tooling and other manufacturing equipment produced by Supplier for Insulet or provided by Insulet to Supplier for production of Products for Insulet.  These terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.


		
	13.
	Information for Regulatory Filings; Audits.  


		
	a.
	Supplier agrees to provide Insulet with all information about the Products necessary, in Insulet’s reasonable opinion, to enable Insulet to take the steps needed to permit the marketing and sale of Insulet products into which the Products are incorporated (and to permit the marketing and sale of any other Products which are sold as accessories to any Insulet products) in all jurisdictions in the world in which Insulet chooses to market and sell the Products and such Insulet products.  Such steps by Insulet include making regulatory submissions and/or self-certifications, as applicable, and successfully

obtaining such regulatory registrations, clearances and approvals as are needed to permit such marketing and sale.  The relevant United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) reviewer guidance documents or relevant requirements of other regulatory bodies shall be considered for the purposes of determining what information is necessary. 
		
	b.
	Where specific testing is required to comply with the laws governing such regulatory registrations, clearances, approvals and self-certifications, then Insulet shall be responsible for obtaining such testing except where Supplier specifically commits to undertake such testing.  Supplier agrees to assist Insulet in developing test protocols for the Insulet products that incorporate the Products and in answering questions from FDA and other regulatory authorities concerning Insulet’s submissions, insofar as such questions relate to any of the Products.  Insulet is solely responsible for determining the intended use of the Products and for the validation of the Products and their respective Drawings and Specifications for such intended use.


		
	c.
	Insulet shall have the right to inspect Supplier’s facilities, quality systems and records, and other documentation relating to Supplier’s adherence and performance to the quality standards set forth herein, and to assure compliance, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, at least annually during the Term and more often as may reasonably be necessary or desirable to assure quality of the Products and to conduct QA audits.


		
	d.
	Supplier shall cooperate in assisting Insulet in such audits.  During any such audits, Insulet shall have full access to Supplier’s facilities used for manufacturing, packaging, testing and storage of Product.


		
	14.
	Disaster Recovery.  Supplier shall provide Insulet with a copy of Supplier's Disaster Recovery Plan (the “Plan”) which states policies, procedures and arrangements which Supplier shall adhere to in order to forestall and mitigate some of the disruption and delay in delivery of Products that might otherwise result from force majeure events impacting Supplier or its key vendors such as natural disasters, strikes, government actions, and materials and utility shortages.  This Plan may include alternate manufacturing sites, maintaining some materials inventory at a different location, alternate subcontractor sources for materials or manufacturing, etc.  Supplier agrees to adhere to all provisions of such Plan during the Term of this Agreement and during any additional period as the Parties continue to do business together under Section 2 above.  Supplier understands that Supplier is a key vendor to Insulet and that disruption or delay in delivery of Products to Insulet can have serious impact on Insulet's ability to manufacture and deliver its own products to its customers.


		
	15.
	Cancellations for Convenience.  At any time, Insulet may (i) terminate this Agreement and all Scheduled Deliveries for convenience upon at least [*] ([*]) days’ prior written notice to Supplier or (ii) cancel any Scheduled Deliveries for Insulet’s convenience upon at least [*] ([*]) days’ prior written notice to Supplier (each a “Cancellation for Convenience” and together, “Cancellations for Convenience”), and this Section 15 shall govern Insulet’s financial obligation to Supplier for such Cancellations for Convenience.  Cancellations for Convenience are only cancellations of Scheduled Deliveries by Insulet beyond the quantity of cancellations/reductions allowed under the change provisions of Section 6(c) above, including the Flexibility Table.


If Insulet informs Supplier of Insulet’s intent to make any Cancellations for Convenience, then, prior to Supplier cancelling the Scheduled Delivery, Supplier shall first inform Insulet of the charges that would be applied, in accordance with this Section 15, for such proposed cancellation.  In the event

that such charges are made in accordance with this Agreement, Supplier shall cancel such Scheduled Delivery and invoice Insulet immediately for such charge.  Invoices shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Insulet will pay Supplier the following amounts for such Cancellation for Convenience quantities and in the event of termination of the Agreement for convenience, depending on the Zone of the cancelled quantity (per the Flexibility Table in Exhibit B):
		
	a.
	For materials or components allocable to cancelled quantities of Products in Zones for which the Flexibility Table shows a commitment for materials or components, the following amounts as applicable:  (i) the actual cost plus applicable MOH of materials and components obtained by Supplier for production of such cancelled quantities, but only for materials or components which Supplier cannot immediately and reasonably divert to other customers or uses, restock to the vendor, or sell at no loss, and provided that Insulet shall not be responsible for materials or components that Supplier has ordered in advance of need or in excess of need (excluding needs to cover the flexibility allowed under the Flexibility Table to make changes to the Scheduled Deliveries), based on the Delivery Schedule and the MPQs, VPQs, and lead times identified in the applicable Supply Chain Profiles; (ii) the restocking charges of Supplier's vendors for materials or components that are restocked to the vendor and cannot be diverted or sold as above (but not including restocking of items that were ordered in advance of need or in excess of need as described above); and (iii) order cancellation charges of Supplier's vendors for materials or components ordered which cannot be diverted as above (but not including cancellation charges for items that were ordered in advance of need or in excess of need as described above); and


		
	b.
	Documented WIP allocable to cancelled quantities of Products in Zones for which the Flexibility Table shows a commitment for WIP which cannot be diverted as above, not to exceed the aggregate price of such canceled Product quantities; and 


		
	c.
	Insulet’s purchase price (per this Agreement) for finished goods that are allocable to cancelled quantities of Products in Zones for which the Scheduled Delivery Change Table shows a commitment for finished goods and for finished goods in any Buffer Inventory remaining in any Hub, not to exceed the agreed upon maximum quantity of Buffer Inventory.


If Insulet informs Supplier of Insulet’s intent to cancel any Scheduled Deliveries in Zones that show no commitment, per the Flexibility Table in Exhibit B, it is understood Insulet will incur no associated cancellation charges.  It is understood that certain Products being produced for Insulet are specific to Insulet and will not be useable for other customers, and that certain materials or components used to produce Products for Insulet may not be returnable to Supplier's vendors.  Any materials, components, WIP or Products for which Insulet is liable hereunder shall be provided to Insulet as a deliverable and Insulet will provide direction to Supplier on the disposition of such items.  Payment for such charges shall be as provided by the payment terms of the Agreement.
		
	16.
	Termination of Agreement; Cancellation of Scheduled Deliveries for Cause.

Supplier will take immediate steps approved by Insulet to correct the problem for future production of the Product and for all existing units of the Product (in either Party's inventory/WIP, in transit, and in the field) .  For units in the field, Insulet shall be the primary point of contact for its customers.  If the problem is due to Supplier’s Responsibility (as defined below), then Supplier shall be required to take all the steps set forth in Section 17(c) above, at Supplier’s expense.  If the problem is due to Insulet’s Responsibility (as defined below), then Supplier shall take all the steps set forth in Section 17(c) above to the extent the Affected Products are within Supplier’s control, and Insulet shall reimburse Supplier’s costs of taking these steps.  For purposes of this Section 18(b)(i):
“Supplier’s Responsibility” shall consist of any of the following: [*]; and
“Insulet’s Responsibility” shall consist of any of the following: [*].
If the Parties are jointly responsible for the problem or root cause is unable to be determined, then the costs of the steps described in Section 19(a)(i) through (iii) below shall be equitably apportioned between Supplier and Insulet based on the Parties’ comparative fault.  
		
	iii.
	Minor Impact.  If any aspect of the manufacture, for which Supplier is responsible, is such that a Product does not conform to the Specification but such non-conformance does not significantly reduce the value of the Product or products used with it to the end-user and does not constitute a safety hazard or regulatory violation, then the Parties shall take reasonable steps to identify changes to the manufacture that, upon approval of Insulet, can be implemented in future production, including future releases of the Product, and will then carry out such steps pursuant to Section 3(c) above.

	Short Supply/End of Life Components, Material, Software and Firmware.


		
	a.
	Should any material or component be in short supply so that Supplier's needs exceed market availability, then Supplier agrees that, with respect to material purchased or ordered specifically for manufacture of the Products, Supplier will not utilize such material for other than the manufacture of Products for Insulet.  In addition, any such component or material that has been paid for by Insulet or has been acquired at the specific request of Insulet shall be used only to manufacture Products for Insulet.


		
	b.
	Should any material, component software or firmware be discontinued or set for end of life by the applicable vendor, Supply hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Insulet with no less than [*] ([*]) months’ notice of such event as available by material suppliers.  Supplier agrees to purchase sufficient quantities of the foregoing in order to supply Insulet Products as agreed to by the Parties.  In addition, Supplier agrees to work with Insulet in order to find a replacement which meets the form, fit and function set out in the Specifications of such end of life component, material, software or firmware.  (Such replacements of end of life materials, components, software and firmware are subject to the applicable change order procedures of the Quality Agreement.)

	27.
	Severability.
