Exhibit 10.1 MANUFACTURING, DESIGN AND MARKETING AGREEMENT This MANUFACTURING, DESIGN AND MARKETING AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is entered into by and between Zounds Hearing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Subcontractor) and InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the Manufacturer) Manufacturer dated effective October 3, 2018 (the Effective Date). Subcontractor and Manufacturer may also be referred to herein individually as Party or collectively as the Parties. RECITALS WHEREAS, Subcontractor currently is the registered manufacturer of hearing aids and related components and accessories (the Zounds Products) that are sold under the Subcontractor's brand names through various marketing and distribution channels. WHEREAS the Parties desire to enter an agreement whereby the Subcontractor as the Manufacturer's subcontractor will provide design, technology, manufacturing and supply chain services to the Manufacturer to enable the Manufacturer to manufacture comparable hearing aids and related components and accessories to be sold under Manufacturer's exclusive brand names (the Manufacturer's Products) through the Manufacturer's various marketing and distribution channels. WHEREAS, the Parties also desire to enter into a lease agreement of Subcontractor's current Chandler, Arizona facility that provides the Manufacturer an FDA medical device facility for the Manufacturer's Products. WHEREAS, the Parties also desire to enter into an agreement that provides for the joint marketing and sale of each other's products. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided in this Agreement, the initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period beginning on the Effective Date and ending ten (10) years thereafter unless this Agreement is terminated earlier as provided herein. This Agreement will renew automatically thereafter for successive one-year terms unless and until one Party gives notification of termination with at least sixty (60) days written notice. All orders placed under this Agreement must be placed prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

2. Technology Access Fee. Manufacturer will pay Subcontractor One Million and No/100 USD ($1,000,000) (the Technology Access Fee). The Technology Access Fee will be paid in two equal installments of $500,000 each. The first installment will be due thirty (30) days following the Effective Date and the second installment will be due sixty (60) days following the Effective Date.

3. Orders for Manufacturer's Products to be Manufactured by Subcontractor

3.1 Purchase Orders: Excess Inventory. Manufacturer shall provide to Subcontractor a purchase order setting forth the proposed quantity of Manufacturer's Products to be purchased by Manufacturer and delivery dates, which purchase order will be subject to written acceptance by Subcontractor. All purchase orders are non-cancellable, and the Manufacturer shall pay for the purchaser orders as follows: (i) for purchase orders for less than or equal to a total of five hundred (500) units in any given calendar month, payment of fifty percent (50%) of Product Cost (as defined below) shall be made in full at the time the order is placed and the remaining balance paid in full before the Manufacturer's Products are shipped; and (ii) for purchase orders for more than five hundred (500) units in any given calendar month, payment of one hundred percent (100%) of Product Cost shall be made in full at the time the order is placed. Manufacturer's purchase orders accepted by Subcontractor and any forecast provided to Subcontractor by Manufacturer will constitute authorization for Subcontractor to procure product components to manufacture the Manufacturer's Products covered by such purchase orders based on their lead times. Subcontractor will advise Manufacturer of the lead time of components contained within their order and any forecast and Manufacturer will pay for the components prior to the Subcontractor placing orders for the components.

3.2 Contract Formation: Acceptance and Entire Agreement. Each time Manufacturer submits an order for Manufacturer's Products and Subcontractor accepts the order or ships the ordered Manufacturer's Products to Manufacturer, a new contract is formed consisting of this Agreement, the quantities and delivery dates specified in the order and the prices then offered by Subcontractor. ACCEPTANCE OF MANUFACTURER'S ORDER IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT MADE BY MANUFACTURER, AND DOES NOT IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF MANUFACTURER'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN ANY PURCHASE ORDER FORM, WHETHER PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER OR SUBCONTRACTOR, WILL BECOME A PART OF THE CONTRACT AND THIS CONTRACT WILL GOVERN ALL PURCHASES. Manufacturer's acceptance of or payment for Manufacturer's Products that Manufacturer has not ordered creates a contract comprised of this Agreement, the quantities of Manufacturer's Products accepted or paid for, and the prices then offered by Subcontractor. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement with respect to any contract formed and shall not be altered, amended, supplemented or canceled without the express written agreement of both Manufacturer and Subcontractor.





3.3 Product Prices. Pricing shall be the actual cost of the manufacturing of each Manufacturer's Product plus the proportional allocation of the costs of Subcontractor's manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain overhead, as mutually agreed by the Parties (the Product Cost). Title of the product will transfer to the Manufacturer at the shipping dock of the manufacturing facility. Manufacturer will be responsible for shipping costs. Manufacturer shall pay any taxes incurred in the manufacture of Manufacturer's Products, including any taxes incurred as a result of purchasing components or maintaining inventory. In addition to the Royalties paid under this Agreement to the Subcontractor, Manufacturer shall pay any other third-party royalties for technology that are required to manufacture the Manufacturer's Products for their intended purpose. As of the date of this Agreement neither Party is aware of any third-party royalties for technology that Manufacturer would be liable to pay. Subcontractor will provide Manufacturer with documentation substantiating any Product Cost variance upon request.

3.4 Cost Reductions. Potential Product Cost reductions as a result of materials pricing will be reviewed and implemented periodically as mutually agreed and passed on to the Manufacturer. Product Cost reductions resulting from engineering changes or other changes, initiated by Manufacturer, that would impact either Product Costs or process changes at Subcontractor will be implemented at an agreed upon time. Manufacturer will be responsible for their proportionate share of any Product Cost reduction that is a result of engineering investment by the Subcontractor. If the Manufacturer does not pay its proportionate share, the Manufacturer will pay the Product Cost as if the cost reduction had not been made (i.e., the Product Cost prior to the cost reduction as if the cost reduction were not made). The Subcontractor will list the new Product Cost and a line item for engineering investment that accounts for the difference.

3.5 Royalties. In addition to paying the Product Costs of Manufacturer's Products, Manufacturer shall also pay to Subcontractor the following royalty payments (each a Royalty and collectively the Royalties) for each of Manufacturer's Product purchased under this Agreement. Royalties shall be paid 50% at time of shipping and the remaining balance of 50% due in 15-days after the Manufacturer's Products have shipped from the manufacturing facility. a) Non-Rechargeable Products. For Manufacturer's Products that are non-rechargeable, Manufacturer shall pay Subcontractor a Royalty equal to the higher of (i) eighty percent (80.0%) of the Product Cost; and (ii) $80 per unit. b) Rechargeable Products. For Manufacturer's Products that are rechargeable, Manufacturer shall pay Subcontractor a Royalty equal to the higher of (i) one hundred percent (100.0%) of the Product Cost; and (ii) $100 per unit. 3.6 Zounds' Products and Manufacturers Products Built to Manufacturer's Specifications. Subject to Section 7 below, Subcontractor agrees to manufacture Manufacturer's Products (i) that are identical to Zounds' Products allowing Manufacturer to utilize Subcontractor's existing product designs and features and/ or (ii) to specifications provided by Manufacturer from time to time with approval of such changes by Subcontractor. Any advice given by Subcontractor to Manufacturer before or after delivery of Products built to Manufacturer's specifications is based solely upon the information available to Subcontractor, and the use of such advice by Manufacturer is solely and entirely at Manufacturer's own risk. Manufacturer represents and warrants that it has independently determined the fitness, need, usefulness, and applicability of the Manufacturer's Products built to Manufacturer's specifications it has ordered and does not rely on any representation of Subcontractor in that regard.

3.7 Engineering Services and Design Changes. Manufacturer may elect to utilize Subcontractor's design engineering resources (the Engineering and Design Services) to further customize Manufacturer's Products. The cost of Engineering and Design Services to be paid by Manufacturer will be agreed to in a written document setting forth the scope, timing and other terms of such Engineering and Design Services executed by the Parties prior to any services being provided by Subcontractor. Subject to the written agreement of the parties with respect to any resulting change in price, delivery schedule and other terms, Subcontractor will accept design changes (i.e., Engineering Change Orders or ECO's) according to Manufacturer's instructions.

3.8 Tooling, Setup and Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) Charges. Subcontractor agrees to provide Manufacturer with a quote for any one-time tooling, setup or NRE charges payable by Manufacturer as a result of a change in design requested by Manufacturer, change in minimum quantity requirements by Manufacturer as originally quoted by Subcontractor, or an addition to the Manufacturer's Products purchased under this Agreement requested by Manufacturer. If Manufacturer elects to proceed with the design change, minimum quantity requirements change or addition as specified in Subcontractor's quote, Manufacturer will provide Subcontractor with written acceptance of Subcontractor's quoted terms.

3.9 Inventory Reports. Subcontractor agrees to report its inventory position to Manufacturer on a monthly basis, including the following information: quantity of raw material, work in process and any open orders that cannot be cancelled to the supplier lead time. The report will specifically identify any material on hand or on order where the quantity exceeds the agreed three (3) month forward looking forecast plus safety stock as agreed upon by Subcontractor and Manufacturer. The Subcontractor and Manufacturer will review inventory levels and safety stocks quarterly.

4. Delivery and Shipping. The agreed upon delivery dates are based on the Subcontractor's projected lead time, current inventory, commitments and Subcontractor's advice. Manufacturer agrees and acknowledges that all shipment dates are firm delivery dates. All shipments shall be F.O.B. the manufacturing facility unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing. The method and route of shipment shall be at Subcontractor's discretion, unless Manufacturer supplies instructions in writing at least five days prior to shipment. In addition to the purchase price, Manufacturer shall pay any and all transportation charges (including insurance). The risk of loss of and title to the Manufacturer's Products pass to Manufacturer upon the receipt of the Manufacturer's Products by the carrier. Subcontractor is not responsible for any installation of Manufacturer's Products sold





hereunder or delays caused by Manufacturer-specified suppliers.

5. Leased Space Agreement. Manufacturer will lease from Subcontractor a well-defined space for Manufacturer's Products within the Subcontractor's current FDA registered manufacturer's facility. Subcontractor is solely responsible for maintaining all aspects of such leased space including but not limited to; (i) segregation of Manufacturer's Products with all Manufacturer's Products clearly segregated and marked; and (ii) meeting all necessary requirements deemed appropriate by the FDA and any regulatory authorities for a medical device manufacturer's facility. Subcontractor will be also solely responsible for remaining in good standings at all times with all regulatory authorities including but not limited to the standards set forth by the FDA for medical device manufacturing facilities. The Manufacturer may list the address of the Subcontractor's current FDA registered manufacturer's facility as the Manufacturer's own FDA approved manufacturer's facility for the Manufacturer's Products. The terms of such lease agreement will be mutually agreed to by the Parties in a separate document.

6. Payment Terms. Upon Subcontractor's approval and acceptance of a production forecast provided by Manufacturer, Manufacturer's payment for Manufacturer's Products will be due when forecasted materials or components must be ordered by the Subcontractor as set forth in Section 3 above. A schedule of the forecast payables will be provided by the Subcontractor to the Manufacturer based on the approved forecast. Components and products will only be procured and/or manufactured once payment has been received. All payments will be made by electronic wire transfer and all of the appropriate forms will need to be signed so that this can happen efficiently. Alternately, payments can be made to Subcontractor's address as shown Subcontractor's invoice. No offsets are allowed to be taken by either Party. Manufacturer represents that all sales to Manufacturer under this Agreement are sales for use in production or resale; therefore no sales, use, excise or other taxes are due as a result of such sales and Manufacturer will be responsible for payment of any such taxes. A copy of the Manufacturer's resale certificate will be provided by Manufacturer within 15-days of the Effective Date.

7. Limited Warranty; Nonconforming Products. Since Manufacturer is paying the actual manufacturing cost of the product, Supplier has not reserved for any warranty related costs. The Manufacturer acknowledges that it is solely responsible for any warranty costs associated with Manufacturer's Products. Should any nonconformities be detected during or after the manufacturing process, Subcontractor will assist Manufacturer in resolving any quality issues with the suppliers. Subcontractor will provide support to Manufacturer to train Manufacturer's employees to repair the non-conforming products as appropriate. Upon Manufacturer's request, Subcontractor will provide repair services for a fee equal to the actual cost of these services. In the event Manufacturer in good faith believes that Manufacturer's Products are nonconforming under the specifications agreed to among the Parties (the Standards), Manufacturer shall give written notice to Subcontractor specifying in detail the nonconformity within thirty (30) days of Manufacturer's receipt of such Manufacturer's Products. Upon Manufacturer's request, Subcontractor will facilitate such Manufacturer's Products being repaired or replaced, Manufacturer must return the Manufacturer's Products to Subcontractor, transportation charges prepaid by Manufacturer, within fifteen (15) days of the end of such thirty (30) date notice period. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Subcontractor makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to: (i) any materials, components or subassemblies; (ii) defects resulting from the Specifications or the design of the Manufacturer's Products; (iii) Manufacturer's Product that has been abused, damaged, altered or misused by any person or entity after title passes to Manufacturer; (iv) first articles, prototypes, pre-production units, test units or other similar Manufacturer's Products; or (v) defects resulting from tooling, designs or instructions produced or supplied by Manufacturer. Manufacturer shall be liable for costs or expenses incurred by Subcontractor related to the foregoing exclusions to Subcontractor's express limited warranty. If Subcontractor determines that the Manufacturer's Products are nonconforming under the Standards, Subcontractor, shall work with their vendors to rework the Manufacturer's Products or otherwise replace the Manufacturer's Products. Manufacturer shall be liable for the cost of rework or replacement and all associated costs therewith including, without limitation, transportation charges and inspection fees. If requested by the Manufacturer, Subcontractor will provide a cause of failure, a failure analysis provided in Subcontractor's standard format and correction action.

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision(s) in good faith, in order to maintain or achieve the economic position enjoyed by each Party as close as possible to that under the provision(s) rendered unenforceable. In the event that the Parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision(s), then (i) such provisions shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded, (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms, and (iv) the parties will revise the Agreement to effect the intent of such excluded provisions. 15.11 Waiver. Any waiver of any kind by a Party of a breach of this Agreement must be in writing, shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing and shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Any delay or omission in exercising any right, power or remedy pursuant to a breach or default by a Party shall not impair any right, power or remedy which either Party may have with respect to a future breach or default.

15.12 Dispute Resolution. 15.12.1 Obligation to Negotiate. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 15.12. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any





dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement by negotiation between a committee composed of four (4) members (two (2) from each Party) mutually agreed upon from the Subcontractor and Manufacturer boards of directors. Any Party may give the other Party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Such notice shall include (a) a statement of that Party's position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will be representing that Party and of any other person who will accompany the executive in the negotiations. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the notice, the receiving Party shall respond with (a) a statement of that Party's position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that Party and of any other person who will accompany the executive in the negotiations. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the initial notice, the executives of both Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one Party to the other will be honored. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. 15.12.2 Mediation. If the dispute has not been resolved by the negotiation process specified in Section 15.12.1 within forty-five (45) days following the initial notice, the Parties may endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation under the then current CPR Mediation Procedure published by the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (NYC). Unless otherwise agreed, the Parties will select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. 15.12.3 Choice of Law; Venue. If any dispute has not been resolved by a non-binding procedure as provided herein, within one-hundred twenty (120) days of the initiation of such procedure the complaining Party may seek such legal or equitable relief as may be appropriate in the federal or state courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to conflicts of law provisions thereof or any other applicable law and that exclusive venue shall be in the federal or state courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona. Nothing stated herein is intended to limit either Party's right to seek emergency, temporary or permanent injunctive relief and both Parties expressly agree that either Party will be entitled to such relief to prevent actual or threatened violation of the confidentiality provisions in Section 11 herein. If there is a dispute or legal action regarding this agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs. 15.13 Binding Effect; Recitals. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. The recitals to this Agreement are incorporated into and shall constitute a part of this Agreement.

15.14 Survival. The rights, limitations, obligations and duties under Sections 7, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 15.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the attachments attached hereto contain the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings with respect thereto.
