2.2.1 Letter of 27 June 2002 in its entirety save that the order for the first 1,000 Products should be received within 7 days of the date of GMP approval;
2.2.2 The second paragraph, point (b) of the Letter of 25 November 2002; and
2.2.3 Letter of 28 February 2003 in its entirety.
3 Pricing, Payment and Purchase Targets
3.1 For the purposes of Clause 8(3)(a) of the 2001 Agreement, the Minimum Number of Products for each year of this Agreement are now as follows:-
Year of this Agreement Minimum Number of Products
1st (2005) * * *
2nd (2006) * * *
3rd (2007) * * *
4th (2008) * * *
5th (2009)* * * *
6th (2010)* * * *
7th (2011)* * * *
* Subject to renewal of the 2001 Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Clause 16(2).
The Minimum Number of Products for any year of this Agreement may be the subject of adjustment in accordance with the Volume Change Control Procedures.
3.2 In the event that the number of Products purchased by Aesthetics in any year of this Agreement exceeds the Minimum Number of Products for that year by the percentages specified in the left hand column in the table below then Aesthetics shall be entitled to a reduction against the prices (exclusive of VAT) that would otherwise be payable under the 2001 Agreement in respect of the numbers of Products purchased in excess of the specified percentages, such discount to be calculated in accordance with the right hand column in the table below. To be clear, however, the discounts indicated are not cumulative.

3.3 Aesthetics shall pay the prices for all Products or additional work ordered by it:-
3.3.1 prior to the Approval Date against a pro forma invoice basis (ie with payment in advance before an order is accepted); and
3.3.2 after the Approval Date within 30 days of the date of Biosil’s invoice for such Products.
3.4 To the extent necessary, Clauses 6(1) and 6(2) of the 2001 Agreement shall be deemed amended accordingly but will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, Aesthetics agrees that in the event that Aesthetics fails to pay any sum due in terms of paragraph 3.3.2 of this Schedule within the 30 day period therein mentioned than Biosil may serve a default notice on Aesthetics giving Aesthetics a further 7 days to make payment. If Aesthetics fails to pay such sum within that further 7 day period then Aesthetics will be deemed to be in breach of the 2001 Agreement and such breach be deemed to be incapable of remedy and therefore, without further notice, Biosil will be entitled to terminate this Agreement and the 2001 Agreement pursuant to Clause 17(1)(a) of the 2001 Agreement on the grounds of Aesthetics’ material breach.
3.5 In terms of Clause 5(4) of the 2001 Agreement, Biosil agrees that prices will not be increased above 6% per annum and the words “without evidence to justify an increase above this level”, will be deemed deleted. The prices payable for the Products referred to in Clause 5(1) of the 2001 Agreement will not be increased prior to the first anniversary of the Approval Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause, in the event that Biosil proposes that the prices be increased by an amount which, although below the 6% per annum figure previously mentioned above, exceeds the increase in price which would have been applied had prices been increased by an amount equal to the change in the Producer Price Index (Chemical and Allied Products — WPU06) as of the immediately preceding year of this Agreement as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics then the following provisions will apply:-
3.5.1 Biosil will notify Aesthetics of the price increase that is to take effect in terms of Clause 5(2) of the 2001 Agreement;
3.5.2 If Aesthetics wishes to object to such price increase then it shall notify Biosil accordingly in Writing within 30 days of receipt of the notice from Biosil in terms of paragraph 3.5.1;
3.5.3 Upon receipt of such notice from Aesthetics, Biosil may withdraw the proposed increase in prices within the original 60 day period set out in paragraph 3.5.1 above but if it chooses not to do so then within 30 days of the price increase taking effect in accordance with Clause 5(2) Aesthetics may give not less than 12 months’ prior written notice to Biosil to terminate the 2001 Agreement without fault being attributed to any party and the provisions of the 2001 Agreement shall be applied accordingly.
3.6 Biosil shall not be under any obligation to commence the manufacture of Products unless and until:-
3.6.1 GMP or any other required approvals have been granted by the FDA; and
3.6.2 Aesthetics can demonstrate (to Biosil’s reasonable satisfaction) that it is in a position to comply with all of its obligations under the 2001 Agreement which are relevant to the sale of the Products in the Territory including final labelling and packaging requirements. The provisions of Clause 8(3)(b) and (c) of the 2001 Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

4.2 III and Aesthetics will provide Biosil with all necessary co-operation and assistance to ensure that any Registrations in existence as of the Effective Date are transferred into the Registered Name of Biosil or any person (including Aesthetics) that Biosil may nominate for such purpose. In the event that any such Registrations are transferred into the Registered Name of III or Aesthetics, III and Aesthetics each acknowledge that they will hold them in trust for the benefit of Biosil absolutely.
4.3 Biosil agrees that Aesthetics shall be entitled to continue to apply for all Registrations on Biosil’s behalf, such applications to be progressed in the Registered Name of Aesthetics or Xxxxxxxxx at the sole cost and expense of Aesthetics.
4.4 In the event that the Registrations are held in the Registered Names of
4.4.1 Xxxxxxxxx, Aesthetics or III then Aesthetics and III each agree with Biosil that they will be responsible at their own cost and expense for maintaining the Registrations and for complying with all legal and regulatory requirements in the Territory in relation thereto;
4.4.2 Biosil (or any person nominated by Biosil other than III or Aesthetics) then Biosil agrees with Aesthetics that it will be responsible at its own cost and expense for maintaining the Registrations and for complying with all legal and regulatory requirements in the Territory in relation thereto;
and in either case, Biosil, Aesthetics and III agree that they will promptly provide the other with such assistance at their own cost and expense as the other may reasonably require in order to maintain the Registrations and for complying with all such legal and regulatory requirements.
4.5 Biosil and Aesthetics agree that they will comply with the Product Change Control Procedures set out in Schedule 7.
4.6 Biosil agrees with Aesthetics that, as manufacturer of the Products, it shall be responsible for complying with all regulatory requirements incumbent on such a manufacturer which pertain to the Registrations and III and Aesthetics each agree that they will promptly provide Biosil at their own cost and expense with such reasonable assistance as Biosil may request for such purposes.
5 Communications
5.1 Aesthetics and III each acknowledge and agree that Biosil, as legal and beneficial owner of the Registrations, shall be entitled (acting through its employees and agents) to access, inspect and use all information held by Aesthetics or III or their respective employees, contractors or agents pertaining to the status of all Registrations including the application(s) for PMA from the FDA. Aesthetics and III each separately undertake to Biosil that they will promptly provide Biosil with such of that information as Biosil may request of III or Aesthetics from time to time. Without prejudice to that general obligation, Aesthetics will provide Biosil regular updates containing the information detailed in Schedule 5 in accordance with the terms of that Schedule.
5.2 Aesthetics undertakes to give Biosil reasonable prior advance notice of any scheduled meetings arranged between Aesthetics and the FDA relating to the Products and/or the Registrations and Biosil will, at its option, have the right to send a representative or representatives from either its own personnel or personnel of its agents to attend any such meetings with Aesthetics. In determining what constitutes a “reasonable” period of notice, regard shall be had to all the circumstances, including the scheduling requirements of the FDA and the requirement for Biosil to be able to send personnel from the Isle of Man or the United Kingdom to the United States to attend such meetings and the travelling time that this will take.
5.3 Aesthetics undertakes that it will ensure that all data relevant to the Registrations will be stored at agreed location(s) and that Biosil will have full unrestricted access to such information, through its employees and/or agents. The current location(s) for the storage of such data, and the general nature of the data stored at each one, are set out in Schedule 6. Biosil agrees that Aesthetics may also store data relevant to the Registrations at its principal executive offices at 0000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0X, Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000 provided that Aesthetics complies with the notification requirements laid down in the following provisions of this paragraph. Other storage location(s) may be agreed by Biosil and Aesthetics from time to time. A summary of all such data (together with details of where and with whom it is stored) will be compiled and kept updated and sent to Biosil either (i) as part of the regular update referred to in paragraph 5.1 (for so long as such updates are to be produced in terms of Clause 6.1) or (ii) where such updates no longer have to be produced, as and when any of the details contained in the latest update change from time to time or, in the event, that such details have not changed, confirmation in writing every three months that this is the case. The summary will contain sufficient detail to enable Biosil to determine where and with whom any particular data relevant to the Registrations is stored at any particular time and Biosil may require Aesthetics to provide it at any time with such further information (in writing) that it may reasonably request in relation to such summaries.
5.4 Aesthetics will provide Biosil with copies of all non-disclosure agreements/confidentiality agreements that it enters into with third parties (including, for example, consultants and associates) pursuant to which Confidential Information of Biosil may be disclosed. Aesthetics will ensure that any such non-disclosure agreements/confidentiality agreements will comply with the requirements for them set out in the 2001 Agreement in all respects and, if requested to do so by Biosil, Aesthetics will provide Biosil with a sworn affidavit by an appropriately authorised officer of Aesthetics confirming that in relation to Biosil’s Confidential Information, Aesthetics has complied in all respects with requirements of this Agreement and the 2001 Agreement. In the event that Aesthetics wishes to disclose Confidential Information of Biosil to its associates or consultants on terms that would otherwise not comply with the requirements for non-disclosure agreements/confidentiality agreements set out in the 2001 Agreement then Aesthetics may apply to Biosil for consent to enter into such an agreement and for dispensation from meeting the said requirements of the 2001 Agreement. Biosil may request that Aesthetics provide to it such further information as Biosil reasonably requires to consider such application. In determining whether to give its consent, Biosil may have regard to all the circumstances including the nature of the Confidential Information which would be disclosed and the identity of the third party consultant or associate concerned.
5.5 Biosil agrees with Aesthetics that it will provide Aesthetics with such information and assistance as Aesthetics reasonably requires to assist it in progressing any applications for Registrations save that Aesthetics acknowledges that Biosil shall not be obliged to provide information and assistance to Aesthetics to the extent that Biosil considers (on reasonable grounds) that the provision of such information and/or assistance would, or would be likely to, give Aesthetics or any member of the Aesthetics Group competitive advantage in connection with areas of its business, or businesses of other members of the Aesthetics Group, which are competitive with the business of Biosil or any of its associates. In circumstances where Biosil considers that it will not provide information and/or assistance to Aesthetics or any member of the Aesthetics Group for the reasons set out in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph then Biosil will provide such information and/or assistance in such manner and to such person or persons as it determines is required in order to progress the application for Registrations. By way of example, Biosil may determine to provide information directly to the relevant Regulatory Body rather than to Aesthetics.
6 Branding
6.1 III and Aesthetics each agree that the Products shall only be sold in the Territory under either the “Xxxxxxxxx” brand name or such other brand name as Biosil has previously approved in writing. In determining whether to grant such approval, Biosil may grant or withhold such approval in its absolute discretion and may make the granting of such approval subject to such conditions as Biosil thinks fit.
6.2 Notwithstanding paragraph 6.1, Biosil agrees that Aesthetics shall be entitled to indicate on the Product packaging and promotional material that the Products are being distributed in the Territory by Aesthetics, a MediCor Group company, such indication to be in form, size, location and context to be approved in advance by Biosil, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SCHEDULE 4 — VOLUME CHANGE CONTROL PROCEDURES
1 The provisions of this Schedule 4 shall apply in the event that at any time during the period of the 2001 Agreement there shall occur a “Material Market Change” being an event (or series of related events) which has or have the effect of increasing or decreasing the size of the market in the Territory for saline inflatable mammary implants (such as the Products) from time to time (the “Market”) by more than 30%. In terms of measuring the size of the Market for these purposes, Biosil and Aesthetics agree that the appropriate measurement shall be the number of procedures carried out over a continuous period of twelve months using saline inflatable mammary implants. As at the Effective Date, Aesthetics and Biosil agree that the size of the Market is approximately 225,000 procedures which equates to 450,000 units of saline inflatable mammary implants.
2 In the event of a Material Market Change, Aesthetics or Biosil may notify a request for a Change to the other, giving details of the proposed Change together with an evaluation report on the proposed Change which will cover:-
2.1 details of the event or events giving rise to the Material Market Change;
2.2 details of the effect that the Material Market Change has had, or is having, on the size of the Market together with supporting evidence including, wherever possible, supporting independent analysis or research from reputable industry analysts or bodies (including relevant Regulatory Bodies).
2.3 the adjustment that it is proposed should be made to the level of the Minimum Number of Products to be purchased by Aesthetics from Biosil in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in consequence of the change to the size of the Market resulting from the Material Market Change and the proposed date on which such Change shall take effect. Such proposed date may be before the date of receipt of the notification of a request for Change only if the following conditions are satisfied:
2.3.1 the proposed date on which any Change would take effect must be in the same year of this Agreement in which the notification of the request for Change is received by the Recipient; or
2.3.2 the proposed date on which any Change would take effect may be in the year of this Agreement which immediately precedes the year of this Agreement in which the notification of the request for Change is received by the Recipient provided that the request for Change is received by the Recipient within the first three months of that latter year of this Agreement;
and (in either case) provided that the effect of such Change in the period prior to receipt by the Recipient of notification of the request for Change is restricted to adjusting the level of the Minimum Number of Products which were to be purchased by Aesthetics from Biosil in such period in accordance with the terms of the 2001 Agreement for the purposes of Clause 8(6) of the 2001 Agreement only and, to be clear, not for the purposes of calculating reductions in prices which might otherwise have applied in terms of paragraph 3.2 of Schedule 3.
2.4 any impact of the proposed Change on other aspects of this Agreement or the 2001 Agreement.
In this Schedule, the party requesting the Change is termed the “Proposer” and the party who receives the request is termed the “Recipient”.
3 The Recipient will consider the Proposer’s evaluation report and will notify the Proposer within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the complete report whether the Recipient accepts the request for Change. If the Recipient accepts in writing the request for Change then the Change will be implemented and the terms of the Agreement and/or the 2001 Agreement (as appropriate) will be amended in accordance with the terms of the request by
3.1 adjusting the level of the Minimum Number of Products;
3.2 amending any other terms of this Agreement and/or the 2001 Agreement
as proposed in the request for Change and the terms of this Agreement and/or the 2001 Agreement will be modified accordingly.
4 In the event that the Recipient does not accept the terms of the evaluation report and/or the nature or terms of any proposed Change in consequence thereof then the Proposer and the Recipient will enter into discussions in good faith with a view to resolving the matters in dispute between them. In the event that the Proposer and the Recipient have been unable to agree on the terms of the evaluation report and/or the nature or terms of any Change in consequence thereof within a further period of twenty (20) Business Days following their rejection by the Recipient, the Proposer or the Recipient may refer the dispute forthwith to the decision of an independent expert (acting as an expert and not as an arbiter) mutually nominated by the Proposer and the Recipient or, failing agreement as to nomination within ten (10) Business Days, nominated by the President (or other appropriate officer) for the time being of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, whom failing the President (or other appropriate officer) of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, on the application of either the Proposer and the Recipient. In determining the dispute the expert shall be entitled to adopt such procedures and to take such evidence (whether by way of written submissions or by oral evidence from witnesses or howsoever) as he shall think fit and the expert shall notify the Proposer and the Recipient of his decision as expeditiously as possible and in any event within 20 Business Days of the dispute being referred to him.
5 The decision of the expert shall be final and binding on the Proposer and the Recipient save in the case of manifest error or a decision which no reasonable independent expert would have come to.
6 The costs of such independent expert shall be payable as he shall direct.
7 Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement in the event that at any time the size of the Market is reduced to a level at which Biosil or Aesthetics concludes (acting reasonably) that it is no longer commercially viable for it to continue manufacturing or distributing the Products, Biosil or Aesthetics
7.1 shall be entitled by not less than 6 months’, in the case of Biosil, or 12 months’, in the case of Aesthetics, prior written notice to terminate the Agreement without fault being attributed to any party and the provisions of the 2001 Agreement shall be applied accordingly and, in particular, neither party shall have any liability arising out of such termination; and
7.2 in the event of such termination by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx agrees that in the event Aesthetics wishes to continue selling the Products in the Territory after the termination of this Agreement then, in the period referred to in paragraph 2.9.1, it will enter into commercial discussions in good faith with Aesthetics with a view to seeking to agree a commercial basis on which Aesthetics might acquire the Registrations (on a “first refusal” basis).

SCHEDULE 7 — PRODUCT CHANGE CONTROL PROCEDURES
1 According to its documented quality procedures, Biosil evaluates every proposed change to its processes used to manufacture the Products or to the design of the Products. Each such evaluation shall be determined by Biosil to be a Type I or Type II change as defined herein.
1.1 A Type I change is a change solely to the manufacturing process and is determined by Biosil to have no affect on the design, safety or effectiveness (as defined in 21 CFR 814.39) of the Products and would not be apparent to the user of the Product.
1.2 A Type II change is a change to the manufacturing process or design of the Product which is determined by Biosil to affect the design, safety or effectiveness (as defined in 21 CFR 814.39) of the Products or which may be apparent to the user of the Product.
For the purposes of this Schedule, a “user” of the Product is any person who is involved in the implantation processing, excluding the patient.
1.3 Biosil shall ensure that its documented quality procedures for such Type I changes meet all requirements for FDA compliance, including ensuring that such changes are appropriately reflected in its Master Access File or other documentation provided to the FDA as part of its filings for the Registrations.
1.4 Biosil may, at its sole discretion, inquire of Aesthetics concerning Aesthetics’ opinions concerning any such Type I change.
1.5 Prior to implementing a Type I change, Biosil shall notify Aesthetics of its intent to implement a Type I change and, if applicable, that it has elected not to disclose the nature of the process change to Aesthetics.
2 For changes classified by Biosil as Type II
2.1 Biosil shall obtain the formal, written approval of Aesthetics or its designated affiliate prior to implementing such change, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the purposes of this Schedule a “designated affiliate” means III or any member of the Aesthetics Group which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aesthetics and which (in either case) has been engaged by Aesthetics pursuant to Clause 9.4 of this Agreement to manage a Quality System for the Products which would be affected by the change in question.
2.2 Biosil shall establish and maintain documented quality procedures that include formal, written notification to Aesthetics or its designated affiliate of such proposed Type II changes. The notification shall be in sufficient technical detail to allow Aesthetics or its designated affiliate to fully evaluate the impact of the proposed Type II change on the marketability of the Product.
2.3 Biosil shall use its best efforts to determine the regulatory reporting requirements concerning such change, and Biosil shall include its determination in its notification to Aesthetics of proposed Type II changes.
2.4 Aesthetics or its designated affiliate shall evaluate the proposed Type II change with regard to its market impact and shall notify Biosil in writing of its approval or disapproval.
2.5 Biosil shall ensure that such changes are appropriately reflected in its Master Access File or other documentation provided to the FDA as part of its filings for the Registrations.
2.6 Biosil recognizes the value in notifying Aesthetics of such change in the early stages of the change process, and Aesthetics recognizes the value in a reasonable and timely response to the notification.
2.7 Aesthetics and its designated affiliates will not unreasonably withhold or delay giving its approval to proposed Type II changes and if Aesthetics or any designated affiliate determines to withhold its approval Aesthetics shall notify Biosil forthwith accordingly giving its reasons (in reasonable detail) for withholding approval.
2.8 If Biosil is the Registered Name, Biosil shall report changes to the FDA in compliance with FDA requirements.
2.9 If Aesthetics, its designated affiliate, or Xxxxxxxxx is the Registered Name, Aesthetics shall report changes to the FDA in compliance with FDA requirements. Biosil shall be responsible for any necessary amendments to its Master Access File.
2.10 In the event that the proposed Type II change requires the submission of a Supplement to the PMA, the parties shall cooperate in generating appropriate data and documentation, and the party with registered responsibility for the PMA shall submit the required documentation, except that Biosil shall be responsible for any necessary amendments to its Master Access File.
3 Biosil shall make no changes to its processes used to manufacture the Products or to the design of the Products that do not comply with the procedures contained in this Schedule.
4 Aesthetics and III each acknowledge that any information provided by Biosil to it (or any of its designated affiliates) pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule 7 is Confidential Information for the purposes of Clause 13 of the 2001 Agreement and that, in particular, Aesthetics will comply with its obligations under that clause in relation to such information accordingly. In particular, Biosil shall not be under any obligation to supply such information directly to a designated affiliate unless the designated affiliate has entered into a non-disclosure undertaking in favour of Biosil beforehand in terms which are acceptable to Biosil (acting reasonably). Aesthetics, itself, may only disclose such information to a designated affiliate where such disclosure is in accordance with the provisions of clauses 13(5) and/or 13(6) of the 2001 Agreement.
