THIS PRIVATE LABEL SUPPLY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered as of November 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Tyber Medical, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Supplier”) and CPM Medical Consultants, LLC, a Texas Liability Corporation (“Distributor”).

WHEREAS, Supplier is engaged in the business of developing innovative medical devices for private label opportunities including the development, production, and distribution of proprietary medical devices.

WHEREAS, Distributor is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling products and instruments relating to orthopaedic surgery.

WHEREAS, Distributor desires to acquire and distribute Supplier’s implants and consumables described on Schedule 1(each an “Implant” and collectively the “Implants”) and the instruments required for implantation thereof (the “Instruments” and collectively with the Implants, the “Products”) under the Distributor’s own respective brand names, and Supplier is willing to supply such Products to Distributor, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Distributor and Supplier may create an addendum to this Agreement to add additional products by mutually agreeing upon a revised or additional Schedule 1, from time to time, by written agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

(a) General. During the term of this Agreement, Supplier shall produce, package and supply the Products to Distributor, and Distributor shall acquire the Products from Supplier, pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth herein. Instruments for Implants must be purchased from Supplier unless Distributor implements a proper quality system that complies with ISO 13485 and all applicable regulations, and which system can be verified by Supplier and is satisfactory to Supplier, as determined in its sole discretion. Subject to mutual agreement as to scope and pricing, Supplier agrees to provide Instrument customization and additional graphic design images of Implants contained within a relevant model.

(b) Implant Packaging and Brand Names. The Implants shall be finally packaged by Supplier using the trade names and artwork specified on Schedule 2, as the name may be modified from time to time upon written notice by Distributor (the “Private Label Brands”). Supplier’s name shall not appear on labels unless required by law and, if required by law, shall be included only to the extent (including size and location) specifically required. Any changes to Supplier’s existing packaging or labeling, including any artwork changes, will be paid for by Distributor. Distributor shall pay to Supplier the non-refundable sum of $5,000 for the first product family and $2,500 for each product family thereafter for packaging, labeling, labeling content and artwork for the Implants concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Initial Packaging Fee”). Distributor shall not make any additional changes to the packaging, labeling, labeling content or artwork for the Implants after purchase from Supplier without Supplier’s prior written consent.

(c) Obsolescence. If Supplier plans to discontinue any Product, Supplier shall provide Distributor written notice at least 180 days in advance of the effect of such change (unless impractical for regulatory reasons, in which case such notice shall be provided immediately after the need to discontinue the Product is determined by Supplier).

(d) Changes to Products for Regulatory Reasons. Supplier shall have the right to modify the Products as necessary to comply with changes in applicable law or regulatory approvals. If Supplier is required to materially modify any Product, Supplier shall provide Distributor written notice at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effect of such change (unless impractical for regulatory reasons, in which case such notice shall be provided immediately after the need to materially modify the Product is determined by Supplier). In the event that Supplier makes a change to the Products in accordance with this Section, Supplier shall provide Distributor with information on the changes, and corresponding updated guidelines and instructions for use. In addition, in the event of a recall involving any Products

currently held in Distributor’s inventory, Supplier shall provide replacement Products and Samples for Distributor’s current stock of such recalled Products, and Distributor shall return all old stock to Supplier at Supplier’s expense.

(e) Changes to Products for Other Reasons by Supplier. If Supplier materially modifies any Product for reasons other than to comply with law or regulatory approvals Supplier shall provide Distributor with information on the changes and corresponding updated guidelines and instructions for use, if required. If such change renders Distributor’s stock of Products unsaleable or unusable, as determined by Supplier in its reasonable discretion, Supplier shall, at Supplier’s expense, provide Distributor with replacement Products sufficient to replace such stock.

(f) Samples. Supplier shall make available for purchase by Distributor a reasonable number of samples of non-implantable Implants and demonstration Instruments for use only for demonstration and training purposes (the “Samples”).

(g) Inspection. Distributor shall have the right, on written notice given not less than fifteen (15) days in advance of written notice to Supplier, and not more frequently than twice in any calendar year, during Supplier’s regular business hours, to inspect Supplier’s quality system and facilities relating to the performance of Supplier’s duties hereunder.

(h) New Devices. Supplier agrees to allow Distributor the opportunity to include in this Agreement all available new medical devices developed by Supplier during the Initial Term on terms mutually agreed upon. Subject to Distributor’s confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 10 hereof, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Distributor of new products.

(i) Ownership. As between Distributor and Supplier, Supplier retains and shall be the sole owner of all right, title, and interest to (i) all drawings, models and test data relating to the Products; (ii) all improvements relating to the Products; (iii) the design history file documents and all other regulatory documents and all regulatory approvals for the Products; and (iv) all intellectual property rights related to the foregoing. As between Distributor and Supplier, Distributor retains and shall be the sole owner of all intellectual property rights in and to the Private Label Brands, all data relating to End Users and other customers provided to Supplier, and all Marketing Materials (as defined herein).

(j) Quality and Regulatory Agreement. Upon Supplier’s reasonable request, Supplier and Distributor shall complete and maintain a mutually agreed upon Quality and Regulatory agreement.

(a) Product Costs. Distributor shall acquire the Products for the amount set forth on Schedule 3 (the “Product Cost”) and shall be fixed for the Term of this Agreement.

(b) Sample Costs. Distributor shall acquire Samples at the amounts for such Samples set forth on Schedule 3, as may be amended from time to time (the “Sample Cost”).

(i) Distributor agrees to acquire all of its requirements for the Products described in Schedule 1 from Supplier for the duration of the agreement.

(ii) In the event Distributor fails to acquire at least $50,000 of Products in any rolling twelve (12) month period (the “Minimum Acquisition Commitment”), Supplier may (but shall not be obligated to) notify Distributor in writing of the amount of any shortfall between the Minimum Acquisition Commitment for such rolling period and the amount of Product actually acquired in such rolling period (the “Shortfall Amount”) and request Distributor to provide Supplier with written detail of the reason(s) for such shortfall. Distributor may order and pay within forty-five (45) days of the date of the notice the amount of Products that is at least equal to the Shortfall Amount. Following such payment, over a period of no more than twelve (12) months, the Supplier shall deliver to Distributor, at times and in any mix (including Samples) reasonably requested by Distributor, Products with an aggregate value equal to such Shortfall Amount payment (in addition to any Minimum Acquisition Commitment applicable to such period). If Distributor does not pay the Shortfall Amount within such forty-five-day period, Supplier, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for cause at any time effective upon written notice to Distributor.

(i) Acquisition Order. The initial acquisition order shall be $426,324.50 , and shall be submitted to Supplier concurrently upon the signing of this Agreement. The parties anticipate the first delivery of Products to occur within one hundred twenty (120) days from Distributor’s date of delivery of camera ready artwork for labeling and packaging

and mutually agreed upon production specifications. The parties anticipate (but do not guarantee) delivery of subsequent Products to occur within ninety (90) days from Supplier’s acceptance of an acquisition order. After the initial order the Distributor will provide a rolling 6 month forecast on the first of each calendar month. Forecasts will be used solely for business planning purposes; Distributor understands that, while it is helpful to provide accurate forecasts, no orders or any other irreversible action will be taken based on a forecast.

(ii) Variances due to Supply Shortages or Overages. In the event that Supplier suffers a shortage of Product supply, including any shortage due to a failure of Supplier’s own supply chain, which renders Supplier unable to manufacture Products in quantities in any acquisition order accepted by Supplier, Supplier may allocate its available production for Products to Distributor and its other customers, including any customers to which it supplies Products directly, in any commercially reasonable manner. In connection with Supplier’s production run of a Product, Supplier plans for over production of the Product by at least 5% to account for anticipated waste. If any or all of such over production units meet the Product specifications and pass quality inspection, Supplier shall deliver, and Distributor agrees to purchase, such additional Products up to 5% of the corresponding acquisition order in accordance with the pricing terms herein.

(iii) Order Quantity Limits. All acquisition orders for Products must specify a quantity of at least 50 units total (any Product mix) with no more than 3 lots. Any order quantity outside these limits will require a new price quote from Supplier.

(e) Payment Terms. All amounts are payable only in U.S. Dollars. Except as otherwise set forth under this Agreement, Distributor will be required to pay thirty five percent (35%) of the total Product Cost and Sample Cost for Products ordered upon issuance of the acquisition. The balance shall be split into two (2) equal payments due one-half (1/2) thirty (30) days after from the receipt of Supplier’s invoice and the remaining one-half (1/2) sixty (60) days after from the receipt of Supplier’s invoice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the first of such two payments (1/2 within 30days) is not received by Supplier within such timeframe, the entire balance shall become immediately due and payable and the balance on all orders thereafter shall be due thirty (30) days after the receipt of Supplier’s invoice, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Supplier. Invoices shall be issued no sooner than the date of Product delivery. Distributor shall have no right of deduction or offset of any amounts owed to Supplier hereunder for any reason. The Product Costs and Sample Costs do not include shipping, handling, insurance, taxes or duties, all of which shall be the sole obligation of Distributor Any amounts not paid when due are subject to a 1.5% per month finance.

(a) Preparation for Shipment; Lead Time. All Products shall be handled, packaged, and shipped as required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations. They shall be suitably packed for shipment in containers adequate to insure safe arrival of the Products at Distributor’s designated delivery destination, marked for shipment to the address specified in Distributor’s acquisition order or such other address as Distributor may specify in writing. Supplier shall mark all containers with necessary shipping and handling information, acquisition order numbers and date of shipment. An itemized packing list shall accompany each shipment. Distributor will give Supplier an acquisition order no less than sixty (60) days prior to the date on which the delivery is requested.

(b) Shipping Terms. All Products will be shipped either Ex Works (Incoterms 2010) Supplier’s point of shipment, Freight Prepaid & Charged to Supplier or Freight Collect (at Supplier’s sole discretion). Buyer shall be responsible for the costs of shipping.

(c)Title and Risk of Loss. Risk of loss of Products shipped by Supplier hereunder shall pass to Distributor upon receipt of the Products by Distributor at the delivery location for Distributor. Supplier will be solely responsible for any insurance on loss of Product during shipment to Distributor’s facilities.

(d)Inspection and Returns for Damage or Defect. Distributor will inspect each shipment of Products for obvious damage when Distributor receives the shipment. If Distributor finds an obviously damaged or defective Product, it will provide written notice to Supplier, describe the damage or defect and request a return authorization form. The notice and request for return must be provided within ten (10) days following receipt of the shipment (the day of receipt will not be counted as one of the days for this purpose) or the Products will be deemed accepted by Distributor. If there is no notice or request for return by Distributor during the ten-day period, or the damage or defect is due to the act or omission of Distributor, then Supplier will have no obligation to replace the Product and Distributor will pay for the Products. Supplier will pay for the shipment and insurance for the authorized return of Products. The only remedy available to Distributor for an obviously damaged or defective Product is to receive a replacement of such

defective Product. Distributor will not receive any refunds of amounts paid or credits toward future payments to Supplier.

(a) Warranty Terms. Supplier shall warrant the Products pursuant to the form of Limited Warranty generally provided in connection with the distribution of the Products by Supplier in effect at the time of delivery of such Products. A copy of the Limited Warranty in effect as of the Effective Date is attached as Schedule 4. Supplier shall have the right to make revisions to the Limited Warranty from time to time upon prior written notice to Distributor, provided that any such revision shall be applicable only to Products that are supplied to Distributor after the effective date of such revision.

(b) Warranty From Distributor to End-Users. Distributor shall not pass through Supplier’s Limited Warranty to End Users of the Products. Distributor shall be free to establish the terms of any warranty it wishes to extend to its End User customers. Supplier’s Limited Warranty hereunder shall not be construed to give a right of action based on such warranty to End User customers of Distributor.

(c) Limitations. The Limited Warranty will be void and Supplier will not have any obligation to honor the Limited Warranty, or have liability for any breach of Warranty to Distributor, if Products are used for any use outside the Field, as defined below, or if Distributor: (i) alters, changes or damages the Products or any component of the Products; (ii) distributes, advertises or promotes the Products for uses outside the Field; (iii) uses Marketing Materials, as defined below, not approved by Supplier as provided in Section 6(b), (iv) misrepresents the nature of the Products, their intended uses or scope of the Field, components, or makes any statement, representation or warranty to any person or entity regarding the Products that breaches this Agreement; or (iv) distributes a Product for which it has actual knowledge of defect or damage.

(i) at the time of disclosure is, or thereafter lawfully becomes, part of the public domain through no fault, act or omission of the receiving party, its employees, agents or independent contractors; or

(ii) was otherwise in the receiving party’s lawful possession prior to disclosure as shown by its written records; or

(iii) is subsequently rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party who has the legal right to disclose it, without an obligation to keep such information confidential; or

(c) Injunctive Relief. The receiving party acknowledges and agrees that unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party will cause serious, irreparable and significant harm, damage or loss to the other party which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain. Accordingly, the receiving party agrees that the other party will have, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity, the right to seek immediate injunctive relief to enforce the receiving party’s obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the receiving party shall promptly either deliver to the supplying party or destroy and certify such destruction (at disclosing party’s option) all reproductions, copies, extract or the like of any documents or other media containing any Confidential Information of the other party.

Supplier hereby agrees that the Distributor Trademarks shall only be affixed to the Products or other promotional materials as directed by the Distributor and for no other uses.

(g) Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for two (2) years after termination, (i) each of Distributor and Supplier agree that it shall not (A) (other than by means of a general solicitation in a newspaper or other mass communication) directly or indirectly solicit, entice or induce or attempt to induce any employee of the other party to terminate his or her employment with the other party or in any way interfere with the relationship between the other party and any employee, or (B) hire directly or through another entity any person who was an employee of the other party during the prior six month period; and (ii) Distributor agrees not to solicit (other than by means of a general solicitation in a newspaper or other mass communication) induce or attempt to induce any of Supplier’s contractors or direct or indirect suppliers to cease doing business with Supplier or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such person and Supplier.

Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 11(b) below, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the fifth anniversary hereof (the “Initial Term”); provided that the term shall be automatically extended for successive one (1) year periods after the fifth anniversary hereof unless

either party provides written notice of termination no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then applicable term period (the “Term”).

(b) Early Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated early for cause as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and as follows:

(i) By any party immediately upon written notice if the other party is subject to any proceedings under any federal or state law for the relief of debtors, including: the filing by or against such party of a voluntary or involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy law, which proceedings, if involuntary, are not dismissed within 30 days after their filing; an assignment of any portion of the property of such party for the benefit of creditors; the appointment of a receiver or trustee for any portion of the assets of such party, which appointment, if obtained ex parte, is not dismissed within 30 days thereafter; or the seizure by a sheriff, receiver, trustee in bankruptcy (or other creditors) or of any portion of the assets of such party.

(ii) By any party if the other party fails to perform or otherwise breaches any of its material obligations hereunder, by giving prior written notice of its intent to terminate and stating in detail the grounds for termination. The party receiving such notice shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice to cure such material breach, at which time this Agreement shall terminate if such material breach has not been cured. In no event, however, shall such notice of intention to terminate be deemed to waive any rights to damages or any other remedy which the party giving notice of breach may have as a consequence of such breach.

(iii) By any party immediately upon written notice to the other party if such party is prohibited from manufacturing, supplying or distributing the Products by the FDA or other regulatory body or any applicable laws.

(iv) By Supplier pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or immediately (with no opportunity to cure) if Distributor breaches the provisions of either Sections 6(e), 9(b)(vii), or 9(b)(viii).

(v) By Supplier if Supplier enters into an exclusive arrangement for any or all of the Products during the Term of this Agreement; provided however, Supplier agrees to provide no less than sixty (60) days written notice and continue to supply Products to Distributor hereunder unless Supplier (A) repurchases Distributor’s then-existing inventory of Products at the original sales price paid by Distributor for such Product, and (B) pays Distributor a termination fee equal to one (1) times Distributor’s 6 months trailing revenue for sale of Products to End Users in the Field and in the Territory, subject to Distributor providing documentation reasonably acceptable to Supplier of such sales.

(c) Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, (i) the parties shall be released from all further obligations, duties imposed or assumed hereunder, except as already accrued as of the termination date or as otherwise provided in this Agreement and (ii) unless otherwise required or allowed by Supplier, in its sole discretion, Distributor must accept delivery of and pay Supplier for all orders that have been accepted by Supplier but not filled or delivered as of the effective date of the termination, and all relevant provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such orders and the Products covered by such orders. Termination of this Agreement, for whatever reason, shall not affect the obligation of either party to make payments for which such party is liable prior to such termination. In the event of any termination, Distributor shall have a 6 month sell-off period during which Distributor may sell-off any of its then-remaining inventory of Products, provided, however, that the Agreement was not terminated due to a breach by Distributor. All provisions that by their nature are intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, shall survive the termination or expiration, including: 2(c)(ii), 4, 7, 8(a), 8(b), 8(c), 8(e), 10, 11, 12 and 13 (to the extent applicable).

(a) Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by any of the parties, and no rights or obligations hereunder may be delegated or assigned, without the express written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign or transfer this Agreement in its entirety in connection with an acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or voting stock of such party or a merger or consolidation involving such party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 13(a) shall be null and void.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Schedules hereto shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and shall supersede any other agreements, whether oral or written, express or implied, as they pertain to the supply of the Products by Supplier to Distributor. All distribution shall be pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement. All quotations, acquisition orders, releases, authorizations, acknowledgments and invoices issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that any provisions on any such quotation, acquisition order, release, acknowledgment or invoice that conflict with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed deleted.

(c) Relationship. The relationship created by this Agreement shall be strictly that of supplier and distributor as independent contractors and no agency, partnership or joint venture shall be deemed to be created hereby. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute one party as an agent or legal representative of any other party for any purpose whatsoever, and no party is granted no right or authority hereunder to assume or create any obligation, express or implied, or to make any representation, warranties or guarantees, on behalf of any other party.

(e) Release. The expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever shall neither be deemed a release, nor shall it relieve any party from any obligation under this Agreement which may have accrued prior thereto.

(f) Specific Performance. The parties intend that the following obligations and provisions of this Agreement be enforceable by specific performance and other equitable relief: (i) the confidentiality provisions of Section 10 and (ii) provisions relating to the protection of intellectual property rights (collectively the “Specific Performance Provisions”). The parties acknowledge that a party seeking to enforce the Specific Performance Provisions will not have an adequate remedy at law for the breach of the Specific Performance Provisions, damages alone will not be adequate for a breach of the Specific Performance Provisions, and such party will suffer irreparable harm as a result of such breach. Such party shall have the right to enforce the Specific Performance Provisions through specific enforcement and all equitable remedies, including, but not limited to, mandatory and prohibitory injunctions.

(g) Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey as a contract made between two parties made in New Jersey to be performed and consummated in New Jersey. In the event of any dispute, the Chief Executive Officer or President of each party shall meet and discuss the dispute and attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. The sole and exclusive venue for any action brought under this Agreement shall be in a federal or state court in Newark, New Jersey, and the parties agree that such courts shall have jurisdiction. Unless laws or rules strictly require different service of process, service of process may be made by certified mail return receipt requested sent to the address shown in Section 12.

(h) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or enforceability shall not affect or limit the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

(i) Force Majeure. No party shall be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance of any part of this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is caused by fire, flood, strike, civil, governmental or military authority, or act of God. When a party’s delay or nonperformance continues for a period of at least ninety (90) days due to any such event, the other party may terminate this Agreement.

(j) Headings. All headings and captions are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof.

(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which once so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

(l) Amendment. No amendment or modification relating in any manner to this Agreement shall be effective unless executed in writing and signed by the parties.

(m) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any action or claim between the parties hereto relating to the Agreement or the breach hereof, the prevailing party in such action claim shall be entitled to recover from such other party the costs and expenses of such prevailing party, including reasonable fees of attorneys and other advisors, incurred in taking or defending such action or claim.

(n) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except in connection with Sections 8(a) and 8(b), which are for the benefit of those identified therein, nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person or entity, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies or other benefits under or by reason of this Agreement.

(o) Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred by any of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy will be cumulative and will be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies will not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
