SUPPLY AGREEMENT
This Supply Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of August 18, 2016 ("Effective Date"), by and between NuSil Technology LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, located at 1050 Cindy Lane; Carpinteria, California, U.S.A. 93013 ("Seller") and Establishment Labs, a Costa Rica company, located at Coyol Free Zone, 4th Street, Bldg B-15, COSTA RICA ("Buyer").
RECITALS:
		
	A.
	Seller is the developer, manufacturer and seller of the silicone materials listed on Exhibit A hereto ("Materials"), which Buyer desires to purchase for use in the manufacture of Buyer's products.


		
	B.
	In recent history, there have been several significant health claims involving medical implants made with silicone materials.


		
	C.
	The intensity and level of civil products liability litigation involving medical implants made with silicone materials has been significant. Due to the added risk of potential of such claims, Buyer has a unique desire for certain high quality, medical-grade silicone material sold by Seller.


		
	D.
	There have been several recent cases with overseas suppliers selling adulterated and misbranded medical devices claimed to contain medical grade silicone which actually contained inferior quality silicone materials. Sourcing exclusively  medical-grade silicones with applicable GMP and/or regulatory standards (cGMP 21 CFR §820 and ISO 9001 and supported by FDA MAFs) is the appropriate method to prevent these types of occurrences.


		
	E.
	To respond to the publicity surrounding prior civil litigation and other claims related to medical implants made with silicone materials, Buyer desires to purchase medical grade silicone of a high quality as part of its efforts to reassure consumers and the medical community of the quality of the finished product.


		
	F.
	Seller desires to supply medical grade silicone that will meet the unique specifications established by Buyer.


		
	G.
	Buyer acknowledges that consumers and the medical community that purchases and uses medical implants typically do not research the quality and consistency of  different sources of silicone supplied for and used in medical implants, and the use by Buyer of multiple sources of silicone material for Buyer's medical implants can therefore lead to consumer confusion and misapprehension as to all sources of silicone in the event of a single device failure that might be alleged to be attributed to the silicone material used in the manufacture of the medical device. The parties have each  individually  considered and concluded that it is not possible to mitigate this risk to Seller through education of customers, product labeling, indemnification, or other risk-shifting provisions. Accordingly, the parties

conclude that Buyer's use of a single-source of high quality, medical grade silicone material is necessary to preserve the reputation of each of the Buyer and Seller.
		
	H.
	Seller further desires to minimize the civil litigation exposure to it by requiring that all of Buyer's requirements are fulfilled with silicone material supplied by Seller, so as to reduce the risk of claims asserted on the basis of medical implant products manufactured by Buyer.


		
	I.
	It is the objective of the parties to collaborate in the manufacture and supply by Seller of such medical grade silicone as required by Buyer to satisfy the demand of consumers and the medical community for a high quality, medical grade silicone-based medical implant.


		
	J.
	Buyer acknowledges that Seller will be investing capital and resources to ensuring its high quality, medical grade silicone material meets the unique specifications of the Seller


		
	K.
	Seller acknowledges that Buyer will be investing capital and resources in designing, manufacturing and marketing products that require and depend on the unique specifications from the medical grade silicone material to be purchased from the Seller.


		
	L.
	This collaboration between the parties will enable the Buyer to introduce and sell novel products and thereby be more competitive in the marketplace.


		
	M.
	Buyer also understands that Seller is making a significant commitment of manufacturing and non-manufacturing resources, including capacity commitments, in order to supply silicone material to the specifications required by Buyer. Seller recognizes that Buyer is making a significant commitment in developing its new technologies and products and going through all regulatory pathways based on Sellers medical grade silicone materials. 


		
	N.
	Parties signing this agreement acknowledge and accept the procompetitive rationale provided herein.


		
	O.
	The parties have agreed to execute this Agreement in order to memorialize the terms and conditions on which Seller shall sell the Materials to Buyer.

Change Notification Policy
Purpose
This document defines NuSil's policy regarding change notification in relation to standard products.
Applicabilitv
Unless otherwise agreed, the terns and conditions of this procedure are applicable to all NuSil standard products, excluding active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).
Background
21 CFR Section 820.50 (b) Quality System Regulation (previously GMP) defines Purchasing Documents requirement as follows:
''.Purchasing documents shall include, where possible, an agreement that the suppliers, contractors, and consultants agree to notify the manufacturer of changes in the product or sen1ice so that manufacturers may determine whether the changes may affect the quality of a finished device."
The objective of this regulation is to preclude any change in the finished product [device] from its original design as a result of non-communicated change(s) in the materials used in its manufacture, The regulation indicates that the device manufacturer is responsible for evaluating the materials used in its finished devices, and must therefore be notified of proposed changes to these materials. Material suppliers like NuSil should therefore advise device manufacturers of proposed changes affecting materials it supplies. The scope of NuSil's change notification is not intended to address such non-critical events as a change in manufacturing personnel, raw material suppliers of the same CAS # ingredient, or processing modifications not affecting the finished product. NuSil shall continue to assist customers in fulfilling their regulatory obligations in this area by providing notification of material change(s).


Change Notification
The following defines and summarizes the scope of our Change Notification Policy.
		
	1)
	Composition - any addition or subtraction of an ingredient with a unique CAS # to a finished product formulation..


		
	2)
	Processing - any change in a production process resulting in a final product which differs significantly from that originally qualified by the customer.


		
	3)
	Performance - any change in the physical performance of the finished product as defined by the customer's material specification.


		
	4)
	Certification and Warranty - any change in the properties to which a product is certified or warranted.


		
	5)
	Location - any significant change in the approved manufacturing location(s).


Mutual agreement to this Change Notification Policy shall be established by either:
		
	1)
	A co-signed product-specific agreement reflecting the terms and conditions of this policy.


		
	2)
	Delivery of product that has been certified by NuSil to be in accordance with a customer's material specification containing a change notification requirement


This policy may be modified by -written agreement, where appropriate, based on specific customer request.
