This Amendment to Manufacturing Services Agreement (this “Amendment”) is effective as of January 26, 2018 by and between Paramit Corporation. (“Paramit”), and Outset Medical, Inc. (referred to in this agreement as “Customer”). All capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Manufacturing Services Agreement (as defined below).

Recitals

WHEREAS, Paramit and Customer entered into that certain Manufacturing Services Agreement (“MSA”) with an effective date of April 15, 2016.

WHEREAS, Paramit and Customer desire to amend the MSA as set forth below. NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

Agreement

 

1.

The following provision is hereby added to the MSA as Section 2 (g):

(g). Supply Exclusivity. Customer agrees to a [***] manufacturing and supply exclusivity with Paramit, [***]. During the specified time, Paramit shall manufacture all Customer’s Commercial demand, which means all demand, except Customer internal needs to build systems for R&D reliability, cost reduction efforts and building demo units for Marketing purposes for the next generation Tablo Product, currently known as Tablo X and all its variations. As part of the regular business reviews, both parties will discuss and define future business extension. Supply exclusivity would be limited to Tablo X and its configuration(s). Customer may seek alternate internal/ external supply options for other Product(s) that are not based on Tablo X platform with variations.

 

2.

Section 25.(p) of the MSA is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(P). Cost Reductions. If Paramit efforts lead to cost reductions, [***]. If cost savings result from· Customer efforts, such as SOM or design changes, [***]. For significant cost savings projects, Paramit will submit to the Customer a proposal which outlines the anticipated material cost reduction in advance of pursuing the cost reduction project. The proposal should include at least the following elements: (A) parts to be impacted; (B) timeline for implementation; (C) expected cost reduction value; and (D) cost, if any, to implement the cost reduction (e.g., NRE expenses, tooling, etc.). If Paramit, implements such a cost reduction proposal, the savings will be calculated starting on the date of such implementation. For all other cost savings projects, Paramit shall report any cost reduction proposals to Customer on a calendar quarterly basis, and if Paramit achieves any cost reduction in a given calendar quarter, then the cost savings shall be implemented in the subsequent calendar quarters, and shall be reflected in future purchase orders after depletion of any materials purchased at a higher cost or inventory buy down by the Customer.

 

3.

The following provision is hereby added to the MSA:

Value Engineering. If based on Customer requests or Paramit’s initiatives, Paramit spends time and resources to perform value engineering, reducing cost of the Product, Paramit shall recuperate such investments by shipping products with the prior higher price until all amounts due to Paramit are recovered. Then, the resulting savings will be passed to Customer in accordance with Cost Reduction clause defined in item 2 of this Amendment. For removal of doubt, if Paramit’s value engineering efforts costs $250,000, resulting in $2,500 cost reduction per Product, Paramit will continue to ship 100 units at the higher price of pre value engineering efforts to recuperate its investments of $250,000 (100 units X $2,500 savings per unit). This methodology will apply to value engineering efforts, provided such cost shall not exceed $[***] and recuperation period does not exceed [***] months.
