Dear Butch:
This letter agreement confirms the terms and conditions on which Abrasive Technology, Inc. (“Seller”) will supply specified products to Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (“Buyer”) during the Term. Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, the Standard Terms & Conditions of Sale attached to this agreement as Appendix 1, which are incorporated by reference into this agreement, will apply to all orders of Products under this agreement. To the extent of any conflict between the terms of this agreement and the Standard Terms & Conditions of Sale, the terms of this agreement will control.

The parties agree as follows:

1. Term. The Term will commence on July 1, 2020, and will continue for five years, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. Buyer may, at its option, extend the Term of this agreement for an additional two years by providing Seller written notice of renewal not less than six months prior to the expiration of the initial five-year period. In the event of any material breach of this agreement, the non-breaching party will have the right to terminate this agreement upon 30 days written notice unless the party in breach cures the identified breach within such 30-day period. Termination or expiration of this agreement will not affect the rights or obligations that have accrued prior to termination or expiration of the agreement.

2. Products and Pricing. During the Term, Seller will sell to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from Seller, the products listed on Appendix 2 to this agreement and any other products agreed upon by Buyer and Seller (the “Products”). The purchase prices for Products sold to Buyer as of the date of this agreement will be the prices set forth on Appendix 2. Buyer and Seller will review potential price adjustments on an annual basis. Any potential price adjustment agreed to in writing by the parties will not exceed the average percentage change in the U.S. Producer Price Index during the 12 months immediately preceding the annual price review. If the cost of machined blank components used in the manufacture of the Products increases the parties will agree to adjust the price in accordance with the documented material cost when the higher priced material is used in invoiced products.

3. Minimum Purchase Requirements. During each individual year during the Term, Buyer agrees to purchase Products in at least the following amounts:

4


First Year: [******] units

Second Year: [******] units

Third Year: [******] units

Fourth Year: [******] units

Fifth Year: [******] units

If Buyer chooses to extend the agreement as set forth above, the Minimum Purchase Requirements applicable to each year of the extension will increase to [******] units in the first year of the extension and [******] units in the second year of the extension. Nothing will prevent Buyer from purchasing Products in amounts exceeding the Minimum Purchase Requirements.

4. Lead Time and Forecasts. The lead time for the Products will be consistent with the past practice of the parties. To facilitate Seller’s production planning, Buyer will deliver to Seller on a quarterly-basis during the Term a rolling 12-month forecast indicating Buyer’s anticipated requirements during each quarter of the 12-month period. Each forecast will reflect Buyer’s reasonable estimate of anticipated requirements but will not be binding.

5. Notice of Temporary Supply Failure. If Seller determines that it will be unable to supply Products to Buyer for unanticipated reasons, such as an event of force majeure, Seller will give Buyer as much advance notice as is reasonably practicable of its inability to timely supply. Seller will maintain a business continuity plan during the Term of this agreement. The parties will mutually discuss and adjust such plan as may be agreed from time to time.

6. Last-Time Buy Rights. In the event of expiration or termination of this agreement for any reason other than Buyer’s material breach and failure to cure such material breach as set for this Section 1, above, Buyer may, at its option, for the 24-month period following the expiration or termination date of the agreement, purchase up to an aggregate of 24 months of Product, using the greater of the (a) average annual purchases of Products over the prior 12-month period, or (b) the most current 12-month forecast provided by Buyer to Seller in accordance with Section 4, above, to determine the aggregate amount. The purchase price will be 5.0% more than the current product price.

7. Quality/Change Notification. Seller will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, quality system requirements, and product certifications applicable to the manufacturing and packing the Products. Seller will notify Buyer within three business days of any change in the status of its quality system or product certifications that may affect the Products. Seller will also inform Buyer 180 days prior to the proposed date of implementation of changes to material type or composition, production process, manufacturing location, quality control processes or procedures, quality system, or



materials, which have the potential to affect the performance, safety, or effectiveness of the Products. Seller shall not implement any change set contemplated by this provision without Buyer’s written approval.

8. Successors and Assigns. In the event of the sale, merger or purchase of Seller or all or substantially all of the capital stock of Seller, or the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Seller’s business (regardless of the structure of transaction), Seller will transfer and cause the transfer of this agreement and all of Seller’s rights and obligations under this agreement to the purchaser or other such successor(s)-in-interest, to the extent this agreement is not transferred by operation of law due to the structure of such transaction. Buyer will not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this agreement except with the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that a merger, a sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock of Buyer, or other transaction in which Buyer is a surviving party will not constitute an assignment or transfer for purposes of this provision All the terms and provisions of this agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

If the foregoing accurately reflects our agreement, please sign and return one copy of this letter to us.
Sincerely,
/s/ Scott Ward
Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.
