Scope. This Agreement relates to goods that Supplier will develop, manufacture, sell and deliver to Eargo (as defined below) for use in connection with Eargo’s products (collectively, the “Goods”). The parties may enter into statements of work (each, a “Statement of Work” or “SOW”) in the future to address additional details related to specific Goods. Should there be any conflicts between the Agreement and SOW, the SOW will prevail.

Forecast and End of Life Planning.

Forecast. Eargo will periodically provide written forecasts indicating Eargo’s projected demand for each Good (each such forecast, a “Forecast”). Supplier will be deemed accepted each such Forecast upon receipt, if Supplier affirmatively accepts such Forecast within [***] from date of Forecast issue. Supplier will timely commence the manufacture of Goods in order to deliver the Goods by the dates indicated in each accepted purchase order. Should Eargo not purchase Products pursuant to Forecast, Eargo shall [***] support the manufacturing of Goods forecasted including but not limited to raw materials, finished Goods and work-in-progress Goods.

End of Life Planning. Eargo will place Last Time Buy Purchase Order (“LTB PO”) for replacement Goods (“Service Units”). Both Parties will discuss in good faith regarding delivery schedule of LTB PO. Supplier agrees to maintain the ability to make additional Goods for a minimum of at least [***] subject to terms of LTB PO.

Pricing.

The per unit price of the Goods (the “Price”) equals BOM + Value Added, where:

“BOM” means the engineering bill of materials that Eargo approves for OEM project manufacturing Goods; and

“Value Added” means the per unit amount to be paid by Eargo to compensate Supplier [***].

The Parties will agree on the BOM and Value Added in the applicable SOW or other written agreement.

To the extent permitted by law, the Price of the Goods that are provided by Supplier will not exceed the lowest cost or rate that Supplier offers to any other customer for the same Goods based on equivalent volume and other business terms

Purchase Orders.

Supplier will accept, and will timely fulfill all accepted Purchase Orders within the agreed upon Forecast that Eargo procures Goods under this Agreement issues by the delivery date requested in such Purchase Order. “Purchase Order” means a written or electronically transmitted instruction to Supplier to deliver particular Goods pursuant to applicable delivery or performance dates.

Eargo may [***] any Purchase Order, or any portion thereof. Eargo agrees that the initial [***] quantities in the Forecast shall be deemed firmed Purchase Order.

Unless mutually agreed in writing otherwise, all Purchase Orders will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable SOW.

Supplier will invoice for Goods upon delivery. Payment terms are [***] from the date indicated on the bill of lading. All amounts payable will be stated and paid in United States Dollars.

Eargo is not obligated to purchase any Goods except pursuant to an accepted Purchase Order it issues. Except for amounts due pursuant to a Purchase Order or SOW, Eargo will not be responsible for any costs in connection with the supply or purchase of any Goods.

Notwithstanding the language as stated in Section 4.1, Supplier has the right to decline Purchase Orders if [***] is not provided, if necessary.

Delivery. [***] as to the supply and delivery of Goods under this Agreement. If Supplier cannot meet the requirements of an accepted Purchase Order, Supplier must promptly notify Eargo and propose a revised delivery date, which the revised delivery date will not be less than [***] from the original delivery date (the “Grace Period”). If Supplier fails to meet the revised delivery date again, Eargo may, at its option, choose and exercise one of the following options: (i) require Supplier to deliver the Goods using priority freight delivery (with all incremental freight charges at Supplier’s expense); and (ii) seek and collect all other remedies provided at law, in equity and under this Agreement for failure to timely deliver Goods.

Supply Constraint. If Supplier’s ability to manufacture and deliver any Goods in accordance with the then current Forecast is constrained for any reason, Supplier will promptly notify Eargo of the supply constraint and Supplier’s plan to resolve it, and will provide Eargo [***] updates regarding the steps taken to resolve the supply constraint. If the supply constraint is due to constrained resources (e.g., personnel, material, equipment, or third party components), Supplier will use its reasonable efforts to allocate the constrained resources to supply Goods to Eargo on a nondiscriminatory basis relative any other customer based on equivalent Goods, quantities and other business terms.

Acceptance. Goods delivered will be subject to Eargo’s inspection, test and rejection. Any Goods delivered (individual units or entire lots) that do not comply with the requirements of the applicable Specifications, Purchase Order or this Agreement, may be rejected. Payment of invoices will not be deemed acceptance of Goods. “Specifications” means the most current version of all specifications and requirements that Eargo provides in writing (which may include Eargo notifying Supplier that such specifications and/or requirements are available for electronic download along with providing necessary access and download instructions), including any documents referenced in any bill of materials, SOW, and any relevant specifications, drawings, samples or other descriptions that Supplier provides and Eargo approves in writing.

Before placing orders for or purchasing any materials for use in Goods that are comprised of multiple components, Supplier will provide Eargo, for Eargo’s review and approval, a complete engineering bill of materials for such Goods, listing the supplier(s), part number(s), lead-time(s), and cost(s) of each material therein. “Equipment” means fixtures, tooling, test equipment and any other equipment used in connection with the development, manufacturing, testing, packaging, delivery or servicing of the development deliverables or Goods.

Term and Termination. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue for three (3) years until terminated (the “Initial Term”), the Agreement will automatically renew for additional successive one-year period(s), unless either party provides the other with a thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention not to renew the Agreement prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any one-year renewal period.

Scope and Standards of Work.

During the term of the Agreement, any services Supplier conducts in connection with the development of new products or other technology, including Goods, will be “Development Services” for the purpose of this Attachment 2. The parties may describe the Development Services in a Statement of Work. Eargo has no obligation to purchase or pay for any Development Services or related deliverables except as set forth will be addressed in an each corresponding SOW.

Supplier agrees to notify Eargo promptly if, to the best of Supplier’s knowledge, Supplier knows or has reason to believe that the Statement of Work or any instructions from Eargo would, if followed by Supplier, violate any applicable law of US or infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party or be inconsistent with the applicable standards of US.

The provision of deliverables and Services in their tangible form have no intrinsic value. As such, no value added, sales, or use taxes have been assessed or are anticipated to be required as a result of the Services provided under this Agreement.

Eargo Project Materials. Eargo may provide items and materials, as specified in an SOW (the “Project Materials”). Supplier agrees that all such Project Materials will be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Eargo. If Eargo provides Project Materials, Supplier will only use them for the purpose described in the Statement of Work and will not be transferred to any third party without first obtaining written authorization from Eargo in each instance.
