decrease. [***]. This pricing review may be triggered immediately if the price of [***] increases or decreases by more [***] at any time between the scheduled review periods, in which case such change will not be considered for any price change to be implemented under the preceding sentence in this Section 2.06(c).

Section 2.07    Forecasts. Commencing on January 1, 2019, OptiNose shall provide VTM with a non-binding, rolling [***] forecast of its DSA requirements by month to VTM (“Forecast”). The portion of the Forecast for the first [***] period shall be binding (a “Binding Period”) and the remaining [***] shall be for planning purposes and not binding (a “Non-Binding Period”). OptiNose shall place Purchase Orders for the Binding Period of the Forecast in accordance with Section 2.09 of this Agreement. The Forecast shall be updated [***] by OptiNose no later than the [***] day of each calendar month with the Binding Period updated with each Forecast to include the new [***] of the going forward [***] rolling forecast. VTM shall participate in periodic sales and operations planning meetings with OptiNose and other suppliers as OptiNose [***] deems appropriate. VTM shall provide OptiNose monthly inventory reports of DSAs, OptiNose Components and all other Inventory inventoried by VTM solely for the manufacture of DSAs.

Failure of VTM to confirm any Purchase Order within the [***] day period shall be deemed to be acceptance of such Purchase Order, price and delivery.

(b)    For any Binding Period, OptiNose shall submit Purchase Orders that aggregately meet at least [***] of the Forecast for such Binding Period, and VTM shall fulfill such Purchase Orders. If the Purchase Orders for a month in the Binding Period in aggregate exceed the Forecast for such month by an amount between [***], VTM shall supply such excess under this Agreement, provided, however, that, in any consecutive [***] in a Binding Period, VTM shall not be required to supply DSAs in aggregate in excess of [***]. If such Purchase Orders in aggregate exceed the Forecast for such month in the Binding Period by more than [***], VTM shall use [***] to fill such orders, but shall not be in breach of this Agreement if VTM does not accept such portion of the order in excess of such [***], as applicable. VTM shall promptly advise OptiNose to what extent VTM can fulfill such excess amount above [***], as applicable, which amount shall be considered part of the accepted Purchase Order hereunder.

Section 2.10    Release of DSAs. Upon completion of manufacture and associated testing documentation [***] and before shipping each batch, VTM shall send batch documentation, prepared pursuant to the Quality Agreement, to OptiNose’s designee for review and approval.

(a)    Patent Defect and Latent Defect. VTM warrants and covenants that: (i) for a period of [***] from invoice date, such DSAs shall be free from defects in workmanship; (ii) be manufactured and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Specifications, and the Quality Agreement, (iii) it shall perform its obligations under this Agreement using personnel of required skill, experience and qualifications and in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards, (iv) it is in compliance with, and shall perform under this Agreement in compliance with, all applicable Laws, and (v) OptiNose will receive good and valid title to all DSAs, free and clear of all encumbrances and liens of any kind (collectively, the “Warranty”).

(b)    Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, this Warranty does not apply to, and VTM makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to any of: (i) defects resulting from adherence to the Specifications, or any written instructions provided by or on behalf of OptiNose; (ii) the design of the DSAs; (iii) DSAs that have been abused, damaged, altered or misused or

(c)    Upon any failure of a DSA to comply with this Warranty, VTM shall, [***]; provided that OptiNose’s inspection or approval shall not excuse Supplier’s responsibility with respect to Latent Defects. [***] shall bear all of the risk, and shipping costs, associated with DSAs that have been returned to VTM for which there is no defect found under the Warranty.

(d)    OptiNose or its designee must obtain a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) Number from VTM prior to returning any DSA.

If VTM agrees with such Quantitative Defect, VTM will promptly, and in no event more than [***] days, ship sufficient DSAs at OptiNose’s direction to remedy such Quantitative Defect. If VTM does not agree with OptiNose’s determination that such shipment has a Quantitative Defect, then after [***] to resolve the disagreement, and subject to, and without waiver or limitation of OptiNose’s and/or VTM’s rights and

remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity, VTM may require a mutually agreed upon independent third party to determine whether the shipment had a Quantitative Defect. The independent party’s results shall be final and binding for purposes of determining whether VTM is obligated to ship additional DSAs, and the costs of such independent third party shall be borne by [***]. If such results indicate that the shipment had a Quantitative Defect, OptiNose shall be entitled to [***].
