Integra may designate an affiliate of Integra to perform its obligations hereunder, provided that Integra shall remain liable for all such obligations. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a complete list of the Products (as of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 3)) and their Prices (as defined in Section 2.1(a)).

1.3 Changes to Products.
a. | Integra shall have the right to modify the Products or their Specifications (i) as necessary to comply with changes in Law (as defined in Section 8.1) or (ii) for any other reason provided that such modification does not affect the form, fit, function, safety or appearance of the Products. If, however, Integra plans to modify any Product or its Specifications, Integra shall provide SeaSpine written notice at least sixty (60) days in advance of the effectiveness of such modification (unless impractical for regulatory reasons, in which case such notice shall be provided promptly after the need to modify the Products or their Specifications is determined by Integra). |

3. EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of this Agreement shall be July 1, 2015 (Effective Date).
4. TERM AND TERMINATION:
4.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and expire, except as earlier terminated hereunder, on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the Term). The Parties may, upon mutual written agreement, extend the Term thereafter.
4.2 Termination
a. | Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement for cause upon written notice of material breach by the other Party of this Agreement (a Termination Notice), which shall include an opportunity for the breaching Party to cure. If the breaching Party does not cure the material breach identified in the Termination Notice within ninety (90) days (or if such breach is a failure of SeaSpine to make payment to Integra when due hereunder, thirty (30) days) after receipt of such Termination Notice or such longer cure period as the Parties may agree in writing, this Agreement shall terminate. |
b. | [Reserved] |
c. | Bankruptcy, etc. Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other Party if proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency are instituted by or against the other Party, or a receiver is appointed, or if any substantial part of the assets of the other Party is the object of attachment, sequestration or other type of comparable proceeding, and such proceeding is not vacated or terminated within sixty (60) days after its commencement of institution. |
4.3 Effects of Termination.
a. | Mutual Obligations. After either Party provides a Termination Notice and pending termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations hereunder until termination or expiration of the Term is effective. Expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or |
2
termination.

Upon termination of this Agreement by Integra pursuant to Section 4.2(a) (Breach), Integra may, at its sole option, supply and ship any Order(s) (as defined below) submitted to Integra prior to the effective date of termination or expiration of the Term to SeaSpine and SeaSpine shall pay the applicable Prices, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
c. | Termination by SeaSpine. Upon termination of this Agreement by SeaSpine pursuant to Section 4.2(a) (Breach), with respect to Order(s) submitted to Integra and accepted prior to the effective date of termination, SeaSpine may at its option, either (x) cancel any unfilled Orders or (y) advise Integra that SeaSpine wishes to have such unfilled Orders filled, in which event Integra shall supply, and ship the Products pursuant to such then pending Orders for the Products for delivery after the effective date of termination or expiration. SeaSpine shall pay the applicable Prices, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
4.4 Final Order. In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason other than by Integra pursuant to Section 4.2(a) (Breach) or Section 4.2(c) (Bankruptcy, etc.), SeaSpine shall have the right, at its discretion, to place a final order for the Products prior to or on the last day of the Term in an amount of each Product not in excess of the lesser of (A) one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the amount of such Product set forth in the last forecast (including the Binding Forecast and calendar quarters 3 and 4 included therein) provided by SeaSpine in accordance with Section 5.2 prior to the placement of such final order and (B) four (4) times the Maximum Quarterly Order (as defined in Section 5.2). If SeaSpine desires to order additional units of the Product in excess of such amount, SeaSpine shall notify Integra in writing and the Parties shall discuss in good faith, provided that Integra shall have no obligation to accept any such additional order. Integra may schedule delivery of the final order over four calendar quarters with the first such calendar quarter beginning at least three (3) months after the end of the Term, at Integras discretion, provided that Integra will make available for delivery in each such calendar quarter an amount of each Product that, when added to the amount of such Product previously made available by Integra pursuant to this Section 4.4, equals at least (i) (A) the amount of such Product included in the final order, divided by (B) 4, multiplied by (ii) the number of such calendar quarters to date.
5. ORDERS; FORECASTS; ACCEPTANCE OF MOZIAK PRODUCTS, ETC.
5.1 Orders. SeaSpine is obligated to purchase the Products for which it has issued a firm order or orders to Integra (Order(s)), whether pursuant to a forecast that is deemed binding hereunder, or pursuant to a purchase order accepted by Integra. Integra does not stock
3
the Products in inventory for purchase by SeaSpine. All Orders must contain delivery dates not less than ninety (90) days after the date of receipt of the Order by Integra, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Integra.
5.2 Forecasts. No later than the first business day of each calendar quarter, SeaSpine shall provide Integra with a written rolling forecast as to SeaSpines requirements of the Products for the next four (4) calendar quarter period. Each calendar quarter forecast will consist of the following:
a. | The first two (2) calendar quarters of each forecast shall be binding on SeaSpine (Binding Forecast) and accompanied by an Order for such forecasted amount of the Products. The Order shall be in writing and shall specify the delivery date (which must be at least ninety (90) days after the receipt by Integra of the Order), quantity of each Product ordered and the Prices and total cost of the Order. |
b. | Each forecast shall update the prior forecast by: |
i. | dropping the previous calendar quarter 1 from the forecast; |
ii. | moving calendar quarter 2 from the previous forecast to be calendar quarter 1 of the updated forecast; |
iii. | updating, as appropriate and subject to clause (c) below, calendar quarters 3 and 4 of the previous forecast, which as updated will be calendar quarters 2 and 3 of updated forecast; and |
iv. | adding a new calendar quarter 4 to the updated forecast, subject to clause (c) below. |
The initial forecast for the Products is set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.
c. | SeaSpine may not increase or decrease the amounts forecasted in the Binding Forecast, but may, subject to Integras written acceptance, issue additional Orders during such two (2) calendar quarter period as provided in Section 5.6. In addition, SeaSpine may not increase the number of units of the Products forecasted for any calendar quarter (e.g., 2Q2016) by more than thirty percent (30%) in aggregate from the number of units first forecasted for such calendar quarter (i.e. when such calendar quarter period was calendar quarter 4 of the forecast), and SeaSpine may not reduce such number of units first forecasted for such calendar quarter by more than ten percent (10%) in the aggregate from the number of units of each Product first forecast for such calendar quarter, without the prior written consent of Integra. SeaSpine shall not order for any calendar quarter more than the number of units of each Product set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto (the Maximum Quarterly Order). |
4
d. | SeaSpine will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the forecast for calendar quarters 3 and 4 is accurate, but the forecast for such calendar quarters will not constitute an Order. |
e. | In the event that SeaSpine fails to provide a Binding Forecast for a particular calendar quarter, unless Integra otherwise notifies SeaSpine in writing, the last available forecasted amount for such calendar quarter shall become a firm Order, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.2(e) shall be deemed to affect any of Integras rights or limit any of Integras remedies as a result of such failure. |
5.3 Batch Sizes. SeaSpine agrees to order the Products in whole multiples of the batch sizes set forth in Exhibit D (although SeaSpine acknowledges and agrees that the actual quantity of the Products delivered may be adjusted as set forth in Section 5.5 or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement).
5.4 Acceptance of Orders. Upon receipt of an Order, Integra shall review the Order and shall have ten (10) business days from the Orders receipt to notify SeaSpine of Integras acceptance or rejection of the Order. Integra shall accept any Order for a Binding Forecast that complies with the terms of this Agreement. If any other Order is rejected by Integra, Integra shall use reasonable efforts to provide SeaSpine with a reason for the rejection. If Integra fails to reject an Order in such ten (10) business day period, such Order shall be deemed accepted. Integra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill accepted Orders with the Product not later than ninety (90) days after the receipt of the Order or on the delivery date requested, whichever date is later. However, reasonable delay in shipment (where any delay of ninety (90) days or less after scheduled shipment shall be presumed reasonable) shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement and shall not relieve SeaSpine of its obligations to accept such shipment.
5.5 Whole Lots. Due to variances in manufacturer yields of the Products (Product Lots), in filling any Order for SeaSpine, Integra has the right to deliver to SeaSpine a quantity of the Products that is larger or smaller than the Order. Within three (3) business days of notification by Integra of the quantity of the Products constituting a Product Lot, SeaSpine agrees to issue to Integra a revised purchase order matching the quantity of the Products in such Product Lot. Regardless of the size of an Order, all Products representing a single Product Lot shall be shipped together. SeaSpine will pay for the quantity of the Products actually delivered. The quantity of the Products actually delivered will not affect the firm Order for the Products if the difference in quantity is not more than ten percent (10%). In the event that shipping the Product of a single Product Lot results in a shipment in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Products in the Order, such excess shall be applied to the Order for the subsequent month.
5.6 Supplemental Orders; Changes to Orders.
a. | If SeaSpine desires to order additional units of the Product in excess of Orders for the Binding Forecast, including if any such proposed order would result in Orders exceeding the applicable Maximum Quarterly Order, SeaSpine shall notify |
5
Integra in writing, stating the units of the Products requested and the date by which delivery of such Products is desired. Integra shall have no obligation to accept any such order, but if Integra accepts any such request (or any portion thereof) in writing, SeaSpine shall be obligated to purchase all such quantities as a firm Order hereunder. |
b. | Except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder, any Order(s) deriving herefrom or related hereto may be changed, cancelled or amended only by written agreement signed by both SeaSpine and Integra, setting forth the particular changes to be made and the effect, if any, of such changes on the Prices and time of delivery. SeaSpine may not cancel any Orders unless such cancellation is expressly agreed to in writing by Integra. In the event of a cancellation that is expressly agreed to in writing by Integra, Integra will advise SeaSpine of the total charge for such cancellation, and SeaSpine agrees to pay such charges. Certification of such costs by Integras independent public accountants shall be conclusive on the Parties. |
5.7 Acceptance and Agreement. ALL SALES AND ORDER(S) ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO VARIATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WILL BE BINDING UPON INTEGRA UNLESS AGREED TO IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN OFFICER OR OTHER AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF INTEGRA. ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS, ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR EXCEPTIONS PROPOSED BY SEASPINE (WHETHER IN A PURCHASE ORDER, OTHER PRINTED FORM OR ELSEWHERE) ARE OBJECTED TO AND HEREBY REJECTED, UNLESS SUCH TERMS, ADDITIONS, OR EXCEPTIONS ARE APPROVED SPECIFICALLY BY INTEGRA IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN OFFICER OR OTHER AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF INTEGRA. No course of prior dealings or usage of trade shall be relevant to supplement or explain any term used herein. Any clerical errors by Integra are subject to correction.
5.8 Returns. The Products may not be returned unless resulting from a Product recall, field correction or market withdrawal for which Integra is responsible as provided in Section 8.6 or as permitted pursuant to Section 5.9(c).
5.9 Delivery; Certificate; Inspection and Acceptance.
a. | Terms for the shipments of the Products will be FCA (Incoterms, 2010). SeaSpine shall pay shipping and freight costs, which will be added to the invoice for each Order, and SeaSpine shall have the right to choose the carrier so long as such choice complies with the shipping validation for the Product. SeaSpine may designate the destination of the Products to be delivered hereunder so long as such destination complies with applicable Law. Delivery of the Products to the carrier at Integras shipping point shall constitute delivery to SeaSpine; SeaSpine shall bear all risk of loss or damage in transit. However, Integra reserves the right, in its discretion, to change the exact method of shipment and to make delivery in installments, all such installments to be separately invoiced and paid for when due |
6
as provided in Section 6.1, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment within the parameters set forth in this Article 5 shall not relieve SeaSpines obligations to accept remaining deliveries. |
b. | Each shipment of the Product must be accompanied by final Product testing and inspection results and a certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, signed by Integra stating that the Products comply with the Specifications; the testing, inspections results and certificate shall be set forth by the Product serial number and must be signed by Integra. |
c. | SeaSpine, upon receipt of the Products from Integra, shall have thirty (30) days to inspect the Products with respect to whether or not they comply with the Specifications. If the Products do not comply with the Specifications, SeaSpine shall notify Integra and provide Integra with samples of the nonconforming Products (to the extent SeaSpine deems possible) along with such notice and provide Integra with the results of its inspection. If Integras inspection confirms the Products do not comply with the Specifications, then Integra, at its expense and at SeaSpines option, within thirty (30) days following the completion of Integras investigation, will either bring the Products in question into conformance with the requirements of Section 9.1(a)(ii) or replace such nonconforming Products, in either case, at no additional charge to SeaSpine. If after inspection, Integra disagrees with SeaSpines determination, the Parties shall submit samples of the Product in question to a mutually acceptable independent testing laboratory for evaluation to determine whether the Product are in conformance with the requirements of Section 9.1(a)(ii). The results of such evaluation shall be deemed conclusive of the matter, and the non-prevailing party shall bear the costs of the evaluation. |
6. PAYMENT AND TAXES:
6.1 Payment.
a. | Payment terms of an Order are net thirty (30) calendar days from the date of invoice, unless otherwise stated.

7

EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A CLAIM FOR THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFICATION UNDER SECTION 11.4(B) OF THIS AGREEMENT, INTEGRAS LIABILITY IN THE AGGREGATE INCLUDING THE LIABILITY OF INTEGRAS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND AFFILIATES, WITH RESPECT TO PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY INTEGRA PRODUCTS OR OTHER ITEMS FURNISHED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAULT, NEGLIGENCE WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED OR STRICT LIABILITY OF INTEGRA) SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THREE MILLION DOLLARS ($3,000,000).
11.4 Indemnity.
a. | SeaSpine shall indemnify and defend Integra and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, employees, counsel, agents and representatives and the successors and permitted assigns of any of the foregoing (the Integra Indemnitees) and hold the Integra Indemnitees harmless from and against any |
15
and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, costs or expenses (including interest and penalties and reasonable attorneys fees and professional fees and expenses of litigation) (collectively, Claims) of third parties to the extent arising out of, in connection with, or resulting from (i) the marketing, sale, distribution, use or promotion of the Products after title has passed to SeaSpine hereunder, except to the extent such claims result from a breach of the warranty set forth in Section 9.1(a)(ii); (ii) the bodily injury, property damage or any other damages or injury caused in whole or in part, by any use of the Product, except to the extent such claims result from a breach of the warranty set forth in Section 9.1(a)(ii); (iii) SeaSpines breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; (iv) any claims relating to the misappropriation or infringement of third party intellectual property rights relating to the Products; or (v) the negligence or willful misconduct of SeaSpine. |
b. | Integra shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SeaSpine and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, employees, counsel, agents and representatives and the successors and permitted assigns of any of the foregoing (the SeaSpine Indemnitees) and hold the SeaSpine Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims of third parties to the extent arising out of, in connection with, or resulting from (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of Integra, except to the extent that SeaSpine is obligated to indemnify Integra for any of the foregoing third party Claims as provided in Section 11.4(a) (including those third party Claims caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of SeaSpine), or (ii) the bodily injury, property damage or any other damages or injury caused in whole or in part, by any use of the Product, to the extent resulting from a breach of the warranty set forth in Section 9.1(a)(ii). |
c. | In any case in which claims arise out of or are caused by both SeaSpines negligence and Integras negligence, a comparative negligence standard shall apply with respect to the Parties enumerated obligations under this Section 11.4. |
d. | A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Agreement (the Indemnitee) for third party Claims shall promptly notify the other Party (the Indemnitor) in writing of such Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee or its affiliates, directors, officers, members, employees, counsel, agents or representatives intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor, at its cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent the Indemnitor so desires, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Parties; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if such Indemnitees outside counsel advises that representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between such Indemnitee and the other Party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnitor shall control the defense and/or settlement of any such Claims, |
16
and this indemnity agreement shall not apply to amounts paid in connection with any Claims if such payments are made by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement that admits fault, wrongdoing or damages without the Indemnitees written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For clarity, any Claims that relate solely to the payment of monetary damages may be settled or otherwise disposed of on such terms as the Indemnitor, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any Claim, if and to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such Claim, shall to such extent relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 11.4. At the Indemnitors request and expense, the Indemnitee and its employees and agents shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any Claims covered by this indemnification and provide full information with respect thereto. |
12. MISCELLANEOUS:
12.1 Independent Contractors. This Agreement shall not constitute, and is not intended to constitute, either Party as an employee, agent, partner or legal representative of the other Party for any purpose, or give either Party any right to supervise or direct the functions of the other Party. Neither Party shall have authority to act for or obligate the other Party in any way or to extend any representation or warranty on behalf of the other Party. Each Party agrees to perform under this Agreement solely as an independent contractor and neither Party shall have any right, power, or authority, nor shall they represent themselves as having any authority to assume, create, or incur any expense, liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party, or otherwise act as an agent for the other Party for any purpose. Each Party agrees not to permit its employees or agents to do anything that might be construed or interpreted as acts of the other Party.
12.2 Integration. This Agreement, including its Exhibits, sets forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations and agreements between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof. SeaSpine and Integra agree that nothing in any SeaSpine purchase order or other document submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall in any way modify or add to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (except for identification of Products, quantity and delivery date consistent with this Agreement). Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no subsequent modification or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by the respective authorized officers of the Parties.
12.3 Waiver. Integras failure to strictly enforce any term or condition stated herein or exercise any right arising hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of Integras right to enforce such terms or conditions or exercise such right thereafter. All of Integras rights and remedies against SeaSpine with regard to this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies Integra may have at law or in equity. No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as a continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.
17
12.4 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may transfer or assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that either Party may transfer or assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Party, to any affiliate and to any successor to substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise, without the consent of the other Party.
12.5 Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement should be or become fully or partly invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever or violate any applicable Law, this Agreement is to be considered divisible as to such provision and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid or enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity or subject so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting and reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable Law as it shall then appear.
12.6 Force Majeure. Except with respect to the payment of money, neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under this Agreement if either Party is prevented from performing any of its obligations hereunder due to any cause which is beyond the non-performing Partys reasonable control, including, without limitation, fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, acts of war, terrorism, or other acts of God; acts, regulations or laws or application thereof;, war or civil commotion; strike, lock-out or labor disturbances; or failure of public utilities or common carrier, embargo or other governmental action or request, equipment failure, shortage of raw materials or inability to obtain labor, fuel, materials supplies or power at reasonable prices (a Force Majeure Event), such non-performing Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the other Party and shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cure or correct any such Force Majeure Event and to resume performance of its affected obligations as soon as possible.
12.7 Choice of Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New Jersey without reference to its conflict of laws provisions. In the event of a dispute arising from this Agreement the Parties agree that the state and federal courts of the State of New Jersey shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation or proceeding. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
12.8 Survival. Any provision of this Agreement that contemplates performance or observance subsequent to any termination or expiration of this Agreement (in whole or in part)
18
shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement (in whole or in part, as applicable) and continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, Articles 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 and Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
12.9 Section Headings. Section headings herein are for convenience only, are not part of the terms and conditions and shall not affect their interpretation.
12.10 Ambiguities. Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision.
12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, or facsimile or .pdf scanned versions, each of which shall be considered to be an original instrument and to be effective as of the Effective Date.
