AGREEMENT

1.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
1.1.
R&D Services. Upon request of Customer, Allure shall provide R&D services (“R&D Services”) to Customer at Allure’s standard charges listed in Schedule D. Allure shall provide 30 days’ notice to Customer of changes to Schedule D pricing. R&D Services include but are not limited to research and development for new or modified products that may become Products, and Good Manufacturing Practices and other required testing associated with the manufacture of the Products. Allure will provide a not-to-exceed price for each request of Customer. Fifty percent (50%) of the charges for R&D Services must be paid for in advance by Customer before services will be performed and the remainder shall be paid within ten (10) business days following completion of the R&D Services.
1.2.
Exclusions. R&D Services specifically exclude any product safety testing. Customer is solely responsible for all product safety testing, including but not limited to SPF factor test(s), repeat insult patch test(s) (RIPT), toxicology test(s), dermal test(s), ophthalmologic safety test(s), Preservative Efficacy Test(s) (PET), and Micro Limit Test(s) (MLT). Customer shall provide Allure with copies of the results of such product safety testing. In addition, Customer is responsible for the accuracy of their marketing and compliance with all laws and regulations with respect to any region or country in which the product(s) is sold.
1.3.
R&D Requests. Customer may request Allure to perform R&D Services for products using Allure’s standard Product Development Request (“PDR”) form. Such PDR may be for Allure to perform R&D Services in accordance with Customer’s specifications, such as raw material specifications, manufacturing or testing procedures. No PDR is accepted and binding upon Allure until Allure’s acceptance thereof by written confirmation. Any terms or conditions in a PDR additional to or inconsistent with or in conflict with this Agreement are expressly rejected and not accepted by Allure. Upon acceptance in writing by Allure of any PDR, the PDR shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement as Schedule C.
1.4.
Ownership of Product Formula(s). Allure and Customer agree that prior to manufacturing any product for sale by Customer, Schedule A herein will be updated and signed by each party, identifying the owner of the formula for each product using the categories below:
1.4.1.
New Joint Products. At Customer’s request, Allure and Customer will collaborate to create new product formulas exclusively for sale by Customer, each a “New Joint Product”. At Customer’s request, Allure

agrees to transfer its entire ownership of a formula (including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property (as defined below) rights associated therewith or incorporated therein) to Customer at a cost of $25,000 per product formula.
1.4.2.
Allure Products. All formulas developed by Allure as of the Effective Date, and all future formulas developed by Allure, in each case independently of this Agreement are the property of Allure (“Allure Products”).

Changes to Allure Products in response to Customer requests shall not change the ownership of said product. Customer owns all of its products (including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property rights associated therewith or incorporated therein) in existence as of the Effective Date, excluding the formulas listed in Schedule A, which are owned by Allure (as noted in Schedule A). Allure shall sell to Elevai any or all of such formulas (including any Intellectual Property rights therewith or incorporate therein) upon Elevai providing written request and tendering $25,000 per formula to Allure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, immediately upon Elevai purchasing at least

$1,000,000 of any product for which Allure owns the formula, Allure shall transfer and assign to Elevai all right, title and interest in and to such formula (including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property rights associated therewith or incorporated therein) without any further consideration. For purposes of clarification, Elevai shall have the unrestricted right to commercialize all formulas that it acquires from Allure.

Allure shall not, directly or indirectly through any third party, manufacture, market, sell or distribute any product for which (i) the formula was developed for Elevai or developed in connection with this Agreement or (ii) Elevai owns the formula. Further, Allure shall maintain all formulas free and clear of all lien, encumbrances, mortgages, charges and other security interests.

1.4.3.
Formula(s) Owned by Customer. Customer shall own any formula that it provides to Allure for manufacture (“Customer Product”). Changes to a Customer Product by Allure shall not change the ownership of said product provided, however, that if major changes to the Customer’s formula are required, then Customer shall be required to pay Allure a commercially reasonable fee not to exceed $25,000. Allure shall, in its reasonable discretion, make the final decision as to whether its changes constitute minor or major changes pursuant to this provision.
2.
PRE-PRODUCTION
2.1.
Required Testing. Customer understands and agrees that before any Products may be manufactured, appropriate stability testing and preservative efficacy testing are required. Allure will perform such testing for the Products at its standard charges, which shall be pre-paid by Customer. Any changes to the existing formula may require new testing.
2.2.
Required Product Safety Testing. Customer understands and agrees that before any Products may be manufactured, Customer shall obtain product safety testing as set forth in Section A-2 and provide Allure with copies thereof.
2.3.
Product Approval. Customer shall approve in writing each Product for production before Allure will commence manufacture of the Product.
2.4.
Additional Services. If Customer requests review and compliance with specific requirements that are beyond the scope of Allure’s standard services, such as compliance with the European Union Cosmetic Regulations or vendor requirements, such services will be provided by Allure only upon further written agreement of the Parties and are subject to Allure’s standard hourly in Schedule D herein.
2.5.
Samples. Any requests for Product samples for additional testing and/or marketing after initial amount of samples have been sent will be charged a $200 setup fee per Product plus per unit sample cost.
3.
MANUFACTURING
3.1.
Manufacture of Products. During the Term, as hereinafter defined, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Allure agrees to manufacture and sell to Customer those Products set forth on Schedule A which Customer may, from time to time, order from Allure by an order document consistent with Allure’s prices to Customer. Such order will be binding upon Allure only upon Allure’s acceptance by written confirmation. Any terms or conditions in an order document additional to or inconsistent with or in conflict with this Agreement are expressly rejected and not accepted by Allure. The Parties hereby agree that the list of Products on Schedule A may

be amended, from time to time, to add Products upon mutual agreement of the Parties.
3.2.
Primary Manufacturer. During the Term, Allure shall be Customer’s primary manufacturer of the Customer Products set forth in Schedule A, as may be amended from time-to-time to add any New Customer Products. At all times, Customer shall ensure that Allure will be awarded a significant majority of Customer’s total formulation and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Customer’s contract manufacturing vendor spend with secondary or other manufacturer’s share of spend never exceeds twenty percent (20%) of total spend, as measured in any rolling twelve (12) month period. In the event of a purchase of one or more product formulas as per Section A 4 a), Allure will continue to be the primary manufacturer for said formulas for the term of this Agreement. Customer’s obligations pursuant to this Section C-2 are expressly contingent upon Allure’s pricing and delivery/lead times remaining consistent with pricing and delivery/lead times available to Customer in the marketplace.
3.3.
Product Specification Changes. Allure shall not make major unilateral changes to a Product formula without prior written approval of Customer.
3.4.
Product Pricing. Prices for the Products as of the date hereof shall be determined as set forth on Schedule B or as otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties from time to time. Allure reserves the right to increase prices for Products, upon ninety (90) days’ written notice to Customer.
3.5.
Set Up Fee. A $1,500 per-Product set up fee will be charged for any order of a Product below 2,500 pieces.
3.6.
Special-Order Raw Materials. Allure will advise Customer if Products require raw materials that Allure does not normally stock in the course of its manufacturing. In the event raw materials must be specially ordered by Allure on Customer’s behalf, Customer is responsible for providing a written purchase order for the raw material(s) and pre-paying for the raw material(s). As the specially-ordered raw material is used in production of Products, Customer will receive a credit against Product purchases for the amount of the raw material used. Customer understands and agrees that because raw materials have a specified shelf life or expiration, if specially ordered raw material becomes unsuitable for use before it can be fully used in the production of Products, then Allure will either return the raw material to Customer or dispose of the raw material, in each case, at Customer’s expense, unless Allure is able to use the raw materials for another customer and elects to retain the raw material upon notice to Customer. Allure shall provide reasonable notice of upcoming expiration dates to Customer.
3.7.
Company and Product Registration. Customer is solely responsible for registering with any applicable federal or state agencies, if applicable, and for the registration or approval of any Products that are required to be registered or approved to comply with any local, state, provincial, foreign or federal laws and related regulations including but not limited to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). If Customer desires the service of Allure to register its company or such Products with the relevant governmental agencies, Allure may provide such services at Allure’s standard charges, payable in advance by Customer. Allure’s standard charges are included in Schedule D.
3.8.
Packaging Equipment. Within six (6) months from the Effective Date, Allure shall purchase, test and make operational the cellophane wrapping equipment as reasonably required by Customer in connection with the manufacture of Company’s Products, in an amount not to exceed $40,000, subject to availability and vendor lead times. At the appropriate time, Allure and Elevai will have a good faith discussion should the amount of such purchase exceed $40,000. If Allure is unable to purchase, test and make operational the cellophane wrapping equipment referenced above within the six (6) month period referenced above, then Elevai’s obligation to comply with Section C(2) shall be suspended until such time that the applicable equipment has been purchased, tested and operational.

15.7.
Waiver.
