QUALITY AGREEMENT ADDENDUM


This Quality Agreement Addendum (“Quality Addendum”) supplements the Manufacture and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the parties. Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms in this Quality Addendum have the same meaning as defined in the Agreement, and those definitions are incorporated by reference.

1.QUALITY CONTROL MATTERS.
1.1Implementation of Quality Control and Risk Management Program. At all times during the Term, Supplier shall submit to and comply with Company’s vendor qualification requirements, as Company may establish from time to time (“Qualification Requirements”). In addition, Supplier shall maintain and comply with a quality control program that conforms with all applicable laws and is consistent with current good manufacturing practices applicable to Products (“GMPs”) and as required by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency having regulatory authority over the Products, including, without limitation, 21 CFR Part 820, the current released versions of ISO 13485 and 14971 and the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC or Medical Device Regulation (MDR EU 2017/745) (collectively, the “Quality Management System” or “QMS”). In addition, Supplier shall maintain a risk management system which is integrated into its QMS. Supplier shall notify Company of revisions to its manufacturing procedures to the extent necessary to remain in compliance with the Qualification Requirements, GMPs or QMS, as applicable, in accordance with this Section; provided, however, that Supplier may not make any changes to its manufacturing procedures that are inconsistent with the Specifications without the prior written consent of Company. Supplier shall also have a quality agreement with each Approved Vendor and Approved Subcontractor. Upon Company’s request, Supplier will provide a copy of such quality agreement(s).
1.2Process Validation/Software Validation. Supplier agrees that all special processes and software-controlled equipment, as defined below, applicable to the Product shall be validated by Supplier in accordance with 21 CFR Part 820 Sec. 820. 75 and ISO 13485:2016.
a.Examples of special processes include but are not limited to: Formulation, QC tests, chemical tests, etc.
b.Examples of software-controlled equipment include but are not limited to: automated inspection, measuring equipment, automated assembly equipment, labeling, etc.
1.3Qualification of Alternative Sources. When requested to do so by Company, or otherwise required to do so by this Agreement, Supplier shall utilize its purchasing control/vendor qualification processes and procedures in effect at the time, to qualify ISO 13485:2016 FDA registered third party suppliers and/or third-party manufacturers to manufacture and provide components, parts or sub-assemblies for the Product, or to manufacture and supply the Product to Company Supplier may also be requested to qualify Company as an Alternative Source.
1.4Audits. Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its expense, to audit, or have audited, Supplier’s facilities, and plants that are used to manufacture and store the Products. Supplier shall support unannounced audits by SI-BONE's notified body with reasonable access to relevant facilities and documentation. The Supplier agrees to cooperate fully during such audits and provide necessary information, records, and access to personnel as required
Page 23
REV 08/2023        
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY            


by SI-BONE's notified body to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory standards. Such audits will be conducted during Supplier’s normal business hours by Company and/or its Supplier approved independent third-party designee or other representatives. Supplier shall issue a plan to determine the correction, cause, and corrective action for any negative finding of any audit report issued by Company within 30 days of such audit report’s issue date. Supplier shall assist Company, or its authorized representative, in securing permission to perform audits of any third-party supplier’s facilities, systems, documentation, and other requirements related to this Agreement at mutually agreed dates and times. Supplier, Company, any outside auditor, and such third-party supplier shall agree on reasonable methods to protect intellectual property, such as non-disclosure agreement or the like.
1.5Inspections. Supplier shall promptly notify Company of any inspections, audits, formal visits, etc. of any regulator, notified body, or certification body acting in a formal capacity. In the US this includes, but is not limited to Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It also includes corresponding state agencies. Upon Company’s request, Supplier shall disclose the results of any inspections or audits and the associated cause and corrective action. Supplier shall promptly notify Company of any inspection or audit findings that impact the safety, conformity, or availability of Product.
1.6Process Improvements. As required by 21 CFR Part 820 Sec. 820.50, Supplier shall not make significant changes to the Specifications, manufacturing process, tooling design, processing conditions, materials or manufacturing location of the Products without Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will consider in good faith reasonable written requests by Supplier to change the materials or manufacturing process of the Products, provided Company shall make final determination on such change(s) in its sole discretion.
1.7Complaint Handling and Adverse Event Reporting. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party in dealing with customer complaints concerning the Product(s) and shall take such action to promptly resolve such complaints as may be reasonably requested by the other party. Company is responsible for complying with all FDA and applicable foreign regulatory requirements pertaining to the receipt, review, evaluation, and where applicable, investigation of all complaints received pertaining to the Products, and for the reporting of adverse device events, including FDA’s Medical Device Reporting requirements, codified at 21 C.F.R Part 803. Supplier shall reasonably cooperate with Company to enable Company to fulfill such requirements. Supplier shall promptly, but in no event more than three business days after receipt of such information, provide complaint information regarding the Products.
1.8Record Retention; Traceability.

Supplier warrants that Product records shall be maintained by Supplier in accordance with the following:
a.    Records shall be protected from deterioration, damage or loss, and shall be available to Company for review upon request.
b.    Supplier shall notify Company in writing if Supplier determines that it may discontinue maintenance of these records, or such records are scheduled for destruction pursuant to its own record retention policies, and facilitate alternative methods and/or
Page 24
REV 08/2023        
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY            


responsibilities for the continued maintenance of such records including but not limited to transfer of the records to Company upon Company’s request.

(ii)    Manufacturing Records to include SPC charts, Inspection Records (Problem Solving / Corrective Action Responses).
2.PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS.
2.1General. In the event that Company notifies Supplier that it desires to have Supplier incorporate changes or improvements to a Product to (a) address a Product defect, integrity, safety or quality concern or compliance matter (each a “Required Improvement”) or (b) incorporate a feature enhancement or other improvement that is a not a Required Improvement (each an “Optional Improvement,” and together with the Required Improvements, an “Improvement”), the parties shall promptly discuss in good faith the feasibility of implementing such Improvement. In addition, the parties shall evaluate the cost of implementing the Required Improvement, which the Company will be responsible for, as well as its impact on the cost of the Product. In the event that the cost of the Product increases or decreases the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a new Product price.
2.2Implementation of Required Improvements. Upon agreement by the parties that (a) the Required Improvement is feasible, and (b) any changes to the price are agreed, the Company may request that the Supplier implement the Required Improvement and upon receipt of such a request from Company, Supplier shall use best efforts to implement the Required Improvement as soon as possible. All such improvements shall be evaluated and implemented in accordance with Company’s applicable Design Control processes and procedures that are in effect at the time that the improvements are made. Supplier shall update the Design History File, Device Master Record, provide first article inspection (“FAI”) samples and first article inspection report, as applicable, and provide copies of such documentation to Company upon implementation of the Required Improvement and if required, the parties will incorporate the new Pricing in Exhibit’s A through D as an amendment to this Agreement. To the extent that Supplier provides input on Required Improvements and changes to the Specifications, it is understood by the parties that such activity does not intend to make Supplier a “Specifications Developer” or a “finished device manufacturer” as such terms are used by FDA.
2.3Implementation of Optional Improvements. In evaluating and implementing Optional Improvements, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the cost of implementing the Optional Improvements. Supplier shall provide Company with a detailed analysis (together with supporting documentation) of the estimated costs (if any) and effect on the supply price for the applicable Product (if any) of implementing such Optional Improvement. Supplier shall implement such Optional Improvement only with Company’s prior written consent. If Supplier notifies Company that implementation of an Optional Improvement will require any modification to the pricing set forth on Exhibit’s A through D, as revised from time to time, and Company agrees, the parties will negotiate in good faith an appropriate modification to the pricing in an amendment to this Agreement. If Supplier does not notify Company that it will implement an Optional Improvement within 30 days after
Page 25
REV 08/2023        
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY            


receiving notice of an Optional Improvement from Company or the parties cannot agree on updated pricing, Company may obtain the Product with the Optional Improvement incorporated therein from an Alternative Source or manufacture it in-house, in either case without any liability to Supplier hereunder. All such improvements shall be evaluated and implemented in accordance with Company’s applicable Design Control processes and procedures that are in effect at the time that the improvements are made. Supplier shall update the Design History File, Device Master Record, provide first article inspection (“FAI”) samples and first article inspection report, as applicable, and provide copies of such documentation to Company upon implementation of the Optional Improvement. To the extent that Supplier provides input on Optional Improvements and changes to the Specifications, it is understood by the parties that such activity does not intend to make Supplier a “Specifications Developer” or a “finished device manufacturer” as such terms are used by FDA.
2.4Regulatory Determination. Company shall be responsible for making the final decision as to whether a proposed design or manufacturing change may be implemented for the Product(s). Supplier is not permitted to make any modification that affects the Product(s) without notifying Company. Company shall be responsible for making the final determination as to whether such changes require regulatory approval or clearance prior to implementation and shall be responsible for filing and obtaining any required approvals and/or clearances, as necessary.
2.5Registration and Listing. Supplier shall comply with applicable establishment registration requirements applicable to the Products and the manufacture of the Products.
3.PACKAGING AND LABELING. Supplier shall be responsible for labeling and packaging Product for shipment to Company or to its designee(s), in accordance with applicable laws, Company requirements and instructions and the additional specifications included in the Specifications, which labeling may include “Manufactured for Company.” Company may request changes to the packaging and labeling requirements and Specifications upon reasonable prior written notice to Supplier. To the extent that Supplier provides input on the Product labeling or Specifications, it is understood by the parties that such activity is not intended to make Supplier a “Specifications developer” or a “finished device manufacturer” as such terms are used by FDA. Supplier is responsible for release of product labeling, provided, however, that in the case of initial release of any new label or labeling change, Supplier shall obtain Company’s consent to such release. Company is responsible for compliance with applicable FDA product labeling requirements.

Vendor Managed Inventory Addendum

This Vendor Managed Inventory Addendum (“VMI Addendum”) supplements the Manufacture and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the parties. Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms in this VMI Addendum have the same meaning as defined in the Agreement, and those definitions are incorporated by reference.

Whereas, Supplier sells Products to Company under the Agreement; and
Whereas, Supplier and Company wish to have Supplier take over the management, maintenance, and replenishment of Company’s stock of certain Products.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows.
1.DEFINITIONS
a.“Managed Inventory” means those Products described on Attachment A hereto.
b.“Maximum Inventory Level” means the maximum number of units of VMI Products to be in Company’s stock at any time, as set forth on Attachment A.
c.“OTD” or “On-Time Delivery” means the timely delivery of Order quantities as per the agreed-upon delivery schedule, including the specified delivery dates and lead times outlined in the Orders.
d.“Re-order Level” means the stock level of units of Products at which Company’s inventory of Products is to be replenished by Supplier, as set forth in Attachment A.
e.“VMI Products” means Products described on Attachment A.
f. “Closed Lines” refers to specific line items within a purchase order that have been completed, fulfilled, or otherwise processed to the extent that an obligation has been successfully concluded and no further action or deliveries are expected or required.
2.INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
2.1Company shall purchase all its requirements for the VMI Products from Supplier and shall provide Supplier with sufficient information to allow Supplier to maintain the Managed Inventory. This information shall include, at a minimum,
a.Company’s existing stock of VMI Products;
b.Company’s quarterly forecast for VMI Products, as set forth in the Agreement Section 1.5; and

Page 27
REV 08/2023        
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY            


3.PURCHASE ORDERS
On a weekly cadence, Company shall provide Supplier with updated inventory levels of the VMI Products in its possession. Based on the inventory levels provided by Company, Supplier shall determine the quantities of VMI Products needed to maintain Company’s inventory between the Maximum Inventory Level and the Re-order Level and shall communicate this determination to the Company in writing. Company shall provide to Supplier approval to release an agreed upon quantity from blanket purchase orders, specifying the quantities, in increments equal to the full of half build plate quantity for a particular Product, of VMI Products for purchase. Supplier shall promptly review and confirm the Orders within 3 business days.
4.DELIVERY; INVOICING
4.1Delivery. Supplier will deliver VMI Product to Company subject to the terms of the Agreement, except as explicitly set forth herein:
a.Supplier shall ship VMI Products purchased under a blanket Order, within fifteen (15) business days from receipt of the approval to release the Products for shipment.
b.Requested delivery dates may be changed only by mutual written agreement of the parties, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that Supplier has reason to believe that it will be unable to meet the agreed upon delivery dates, Supplier will notify COMPANY promptly and state the reasons for the anticipated delay.
4.2Invoices. Supplier shall issue invoices to Company upon shipment of VMI Products. Invoice, pricing and payment terms shall be in accordance with those set forth in the Agreement.
5.ON-TIME DELIVERY
Supplier shall maintain a minimum On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance of [***] for the VMI Products. Any number of closed lines with a delivery tolerance greater than [***], which is defined as a variation in the quantity of parts delivered by up to [***] less than the originally specified line quantity, will have a negative impact on the On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance. If Supplier's OTD performance falls below [***], Company may issue a written notice to Supplier, highlighting the deficiency and requesting immediate remedial action. Supplier shall have a maximum of three months from the date of the notice to rectify the OTD performance and achieve the minimum required level of [***]. During this period, Supplier shall implement necessary measures to improve delivery performance and work closely with Company to address any underlying issues. If Supplier fails to remedy the OTD performance deficiency within the stipulated three-month period, Company reserves the right to terminate this VMI Addendum or the Agreement without further liability or obligation, subject to any other remedies available under applicable laws or provisions of the Agreement.
6.SUPPLIER VMI STOCKING LEVELS
Supplier shall maintain stocking levels of the VMI Products based on the forecast provided by Company. Supplier shall ensure that the stocking levels are sufficient to meet the anticipated demand while avoiding excessive inventory buildup. Supplier shall hold a maximum of no more than three months’ forecasted demand in stock and no less than one months’ forecasted demand in stock at any given time. In the event that the stocking levels fall below the minimum requirement of one months’ forecasted demand, Supplier shall promptly replenish its inventory to ensure continuous availability of the VMI Products. If the stocking levels exceed the maximum threshold of three months’ forecasted
Page 28
REV 08/2023        
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY            


demand, Supplier shall consult with Company to determine the appropriate course of action. Company shall not be responsible for the cost or liability associated with such excess inventory if in excess of more than 3 months forecasted demand according to the forecast provided no earlier than one quarter prior to the date of manufacture of the VMI. The Supplier shall review in quarterly intervals and adjust the stocking levels based on the changing demand patterns, market conditions, and any modifications to the forecast provided by Company. Such adjustments shall be made in a timely manner to ensure optimal inventory, management provided that if the maximum quantity level is reduced below a current inventory level, then Company is responsible for any existing inventory at the prior maximum level until the excess is consumed and the new maximum quantity level goes into effect. If the Company fails to release any VMI Products for a period of 12 consecutive months the Supplier, at its option, may request Company to release and pay for any such Products and remove such Product from Attachment A by amendment to this Exhibit H.

8.REVISIONS TO VMI PRODUCTS
In the event of revisions changes, or updates to the VMI Products, Company and Supplier shall work together to manage the disposition of any affected Managed Inventory held by Supplier. Company shall promptly notify Supplier of any revisions, changes, or updates to parts or components that may impact the Managed Inventory held by Supplier. Such changes may include product design modifications, specification updates, or discontinuation of specific parts.

Disposition options may include, but are not limited to, utilizing the existing inventory as “use as is” until depletion or scrapping the affected Managed Inventory. If the disposition of the affected parts results in the need to scrap any affected Managed Inventory, Company acknowledges that it shall be solely responsible for the costs associated with scrapping and disposing of such inventory, including payment of the Product price as defined in Exhibit’s A through D of the Agreement for the units being scrapped. The Supplier shall not be liable for any expenses incurred in the disposition of scrap inventory unless it exceeds the maximum threshold of three months’ forecasted demand according to the forecast provided by Company no earlier than one quarter prior to the date of manufacture of the affected Managed Inventory, as detailed in Section 1.5 and Section 6 of the Agreement and as provided for in Section 6 of this Exhibit H.
