l.Effective as of the Execution Date, a new Section 2.14 shall be added to the Agreement as follows:
“OptiNose-Designated Vendor; Suitability Issue.
(a) OptiNose may reasonably require CPL from time to time, in writing, to have a direct commercial relationship for the purposes of this Agreement with certain vendors (each such vendor, an “OptiNose-Designated Vendor”) and obtain from such OptiNose-Designated Vendors components necessary for the Manufacture of the Product (the “OptiNose-Designated Components”). CPL shall use [***] to source the OptiNose-Designated Components and use [***] to ensure that the OptiNose-Designated Vendors provide reasonable warranties for such OptiNose-Designated Components. CPL shall inspect and use OptiNose-Designated Components in accordance with the Specifications; provided in all instances such inspection and use shall be consistent with what CPL does for any other Raw Materials it sources for this Agreement or otherwise in the ordinary course of its business.
(b) To the extent not otherwise addressed in the Agreement, in the event that CPL reasonably believes that any OptiNose Components or OptiNose-Designated Components may ultimately not be suitable for use in the Manufacture of the Product for reasons other than (i) the failure to meet Specifications, (ii) the OptiNose-Designated Vendor’s failure to comply with its obligations to CPL, or (iii) CPL’s negligence, misconduct or failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement (“Suitability Issue”) that could result in delay in manufacturing the Product and/or CPL to incur additional costs in connection with the Manufacturing of the Product (including but not limited to wasted/rejected materials or CPL Engineering time), CPL shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify OptiNose in writing of the possible Suitability Issue, provide (to the extent reasonably available or reasonably possible to provide) reasonable details about the possible Suitability Issue, provide (to the extent reasonably available or reasonably possible to provide) a reasonable suggestion of a resolution to such Suitability Issue, and provide CPL’s estimated costs to rectify and/or address such Suitability Issue. (“Suitability Issue Notice”). The Parties shall then discuss in good faith to determine if a Suitability Issue has

occurred and to determine a potential resolution to such Suitability Issue. With respect to such additional, reasonably estimated costs that CPL expects to incur regarding a Suitability Issue with either OptiNose Components or OptiNose-Designated Components, such estimated costs shall be as agreed to in writing between the Parties; provided, for clarity, that CPL shall be solely liable for all costs and expenses it may have incurred prior to providing OptiNose a Suitability Issue Notice, as well CPL shall be solely liable for all costs and expenses related to such Suitability Issue proximately caused by CPL’s failure to meet Specifications or by CPL’s negligence, misconduct or failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement, in each such instance, including CPL promptly reimbursing OptiNose for all reasonable costs and expenses OptiNose incurs as a result thereof. CPL shall then as soon as practicable implement such resolution as agreed between the Parties. Should the Parties fail to come to an agreement on such costs and/or resolution of an identified Suitability Issue, the dispute shall be resolved as set forth in Section 2.14(c) below. CPL shall issue an invoice to OptiNose for such additional costs as agreed to in writing between the Parties or otherwise determined by the preceding sentence, which OptiNose shall pay in full within [***] ([***]) days of receipt of an invoice for such costs. For clarity, the provisions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall not excuse CPL’s inspection obligations as set forth in the Agreement, and any and all Purchase Orders which may be affected by a potential or actual Suitability Issue shall be held in abeyance until such Suitability Issue is resolved and such abeyance shall not be a Supply Failure nor a CPL non-performance or default under this Agreement. Should CPL fail to inspect the OptiNose Designated Components in accordance with the incoming testing Specifications or otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Agreement, it shall not be considered a Suitability Issue and instead CPL shall be solely liable for all such costs, fees and expenses related to such failure to inspect or as otherwise set forth in the Agreement.”
(c) Should the Parties fail to come to an agreement regarding the costs or existence of a Suitability Issue within [***] ([***]) business days following the Suitability Issue Notice, the senior executives of the respective Parties shall use reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith to resolve. Should the senior executives fail to come to such resolution within [***] ([***]) business days, the Parties hereby agree that such matter will be settled by arbitration conducted before one (1) arbitrator (who is a technical expert in this field) mutually agreed to by the Parties, sitting in Delaware or such other location agreed to by the Parties, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; provided, however, that if the Parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator within [***] ([***]) business days of the demand by another Party for arbitration, an arbitrator will be designated by the Delaware Office of the American Arbitration Association. The determination of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the Parties. Each Party will bear their own costs and expenses associated with such arbitration.
m.Effective as of the Execution Date, Exhibit B of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Appendix 1 attached hereto. For clarity, the Parties hereby agree that the pricing set forth in Exhibit B hereto shall be applicable during the Renewal Term, notwithstanding any changes in pricing prior to such Renewal Term, subject to any subsequent changes in pricing pursuant to Section 4.1.5 of the Agreement as amended by section (o) of this Amendment. Such pricing in Exhibit B is based on the
5

Specifications received by CPL from OptiNose at the time of the Effective Date. In the event that such Specifications change in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the price in Exhibit B shall change up or down as the case may be in compliance with the terms set forth in Section 2.2.2 of the Agreement.
n.Effective as of the Execution Date, the fifth sentence of Section 4.1.1 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Annual Price Adjustment. During the Term of this Agreement, provided that OptiNose has ordered from CPL at least [***] units of Product [***], the unit price of each Product shall be increased or decreased, which adjustment shall become effective on [***] by the change in the cost of Raw Materials; provided, however, that any such change will not include the amount of any price change already implemented under Section 4.1.4 of this Agreement. In the event that OptiNose has ordered from CPL less than [***] units of Product during the preceding [***], CPL may (upon prior written notice to OptiNose if such notice is provided before [***]) increase the conversion portion of the Price of the Product by a percentage increase that shall not exceed the percentage increase over the prior [***] ([***]) month period in the Pharmaceutical Price Index Ref # 325412325412 (PPI) as reported by the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, in which case such increase shall become effective [***] (For clarity, if Optinose ordered from CPL less than [***] units of Product in [***], and if CPL give notice before [***], then the price increase shall be applied for [***], retroactive to [***]).”
p.Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Agreement shall be renewed for the period beginning as of the Amendment Effective Date and expiring at the end of the calendar day on December 31, 2024 (the “Renewal Term”).
q.Effective as of the Execution Date, the Parties agree that OptiNose UK shall be immediately removed as a party to the Agreement and shall have no further rights or obligations under to the Agreement.
