EXHIBIT A4

Acceptable Supplier Performance:

In executing this contract, it is imperative that Supplier provide Medtronic with product that satisfies our Quality Requirements.

To that end, on the 1st and 2nd year anniversaries of this Facilities Agreement, Medtronic and Supplier will review Supplier’s Performance as captured and summarized on the Monthly Supplier Scorecard maintained by Santa Rosa, Supplier Quality Engineering.

It is agreed to, that if Supplier’s performance is not rated as an “Acceptable Supplier” *, the current allocations of business delineated within this Facilities Agreement to Memry will be reviewed, and at the discretion of Medtronic, reallocated at lesser percentages of total requirements to Supplier, as deemed necessary. Supplier will have the right to dispute the Supplier rating based upon new product development activities and the specification under which the product was ordered and made in accordance to. Supplier will be provided the Supplier Scorecard on a monthly basis. If at any time during this Agreement, the Supplier’s rating drops below 90%, Medtronic and Supplier will work to address and correct any quality issues. If the following month maintains an unacceptable rating, reallocation of business discussions will be conducted.

Should the allocations be reduced, the current pricing tables will continue to be used for determining product costs.

 


* “Acceptable Supplier” performance is defined as a Supplier maintaining a score of >= 90 for 2 out of 3 consecutive months.
