The initial term of the Agreement will

FIAGON NA DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT effective 10 August 2015 (the Effective Date) by and between
Fiagon NA Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with offices at 3913 Todd Lane #101 Austin TX, 78744 (Fiagon NA or
Fiagon)
and
Entellus Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with offices at 3600 Holly Lane North, Suite 40, Plymouth, Minnesota 55447
(Distributor or Entellus).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Fiagon owns the right to sell Fiagon® surgical navigation systems in
North America and to appoint distributors to implement that right; and
WHEREAS, Distributor is an experienced distributor of
medical products, including products which require FDA approval, and desires to begin offering Fiagon® surgical navigation systems to certain customers; and
WHEREAS, the parties have put into writing the terms of the arrangement by which Distributor will purchase and re-sell certain Fiagon® surgical navigation systems to those certain customers in the Territory (as defined in Exhibit B).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above, and the terms and covenants set forth below, the parties agree as follows:
1. Appointment of Distributor. Subject to the terms hereof:
a. Fiagon appoints Distributor as:
i) the exclusive distributor of the Fiagon® branded products
identified on the attached Exhibit A (the Products) to ENT physicians in offices, clinics, and surgery centers (excluding hospitals) located in the Territory (as defined in Exhibit B); and
ii) the exclusive distributor solely of Fiagon GuideWires that are attached to or sold in combination and conjunction with the
Entellus balloon to hospitals in the Territory. For the sake of clarity, Fiagon retains the right to appoint other distributors to sell all Products to hospitals in the Territory except for Fiagon GuideWires that are attached to or sold in
combination and conjunction with the Entellus balloon.
1
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
The aforementioned distribution rights described in i) and ii) above are, as of the Effective
Date, subject to certain limitations due to the distribution rights of other third distributors granted by Fiagon prior to the Effective Date. Specifically, the third party distributors listed in Exhibit G may, as of the Effective Date, continue to
sell Fiagon branded products to the ENT accounts specifically mentioned in Exhibit G. Distributor agrees it will not sell Fiagon branded products into the accounts specified in Exhibit G until after [***], unless Fiagon approves in writing at an
earlier date of such sales by Distributor.
b. Fiagon hereby warrants that
i) Exhibit G provides a complete list of all third party distributors that have, as of the Effective Date, the right to
distribute Fiagon branded products to ENT physicians in the offices, clinics, and surgery centers located within the Territory and that the distributors listed in Exhibit G do not, as of the Effective Date, have the right to sell Fiagon branded
products to any ENT physicians in the office, clinic or surgical center settings within the Territory other than the accounts specifically listed in Exhibit G;
ii) it will not grant the right to such distributors to distribute (a) Products to ENT physicians in the offices, clinics,
and surgery centers or (b) Fiagon GuideWires that are attached to or sold in combination and conjunction with the Entellus balloon to hospitals, located within the Territory in any extension or renewal (including automatic renewals) of any of
the distribution agreements set forth in Exhibit G and will terminate those other distribution agreements set forth in Exhibit G that it cannot amend in accordance with this Section 1 at its first opportunity, without breaching any contracts or
otherwise engaging in any prohibited or tortious conduct;
iii) will not enter into any agreements with any third parties
that would allow another party to distribute (i) Products to ENT physicians in offices, clinics, or surgery centers or (ii) Fiagon GuideWires that are attached to or sold in combination and conjunction with an Entellus balloon to hospitals
located in the Territory; and
iv) During the Term of this Agreement, Fiagon will not collaborate with or support the
competitors of Distributor, including [***], or any company intending to develop or commercialize products that are competitive with the Products or Entellus balloon products in the Territory. For the sake of clarity, the foregoing sentence shall
not prevent Fiagon from any collaboration with or support of competitors of Distributor with regard to any products outside the Territory, or non-competitive products within the Territory.
d. Distributor agrees not to sell Products outside the Territory unless it has first obtained the written permission of Fiagon.
Furthermore, Distributor agrees that it will
2
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
not appoint sub distributors or otherwise cause the Products to be sold in the Territory by non-employees unless it has first obtained the express written consent of Fiagon, which consent can be
granted or withheld at Fiagons sole discretion. Distributor shall not sell any Products to any third party if Distributor knows or reasonably believes that such third party would re-sell such Products outside the Territory, to an unauthorized
reseller, or to an unauthorized customer, however, Entellus shall have the right to sell the Products to a third-party financing company in connection with providing end-users located within the Territory with financing of Products and the Parties
understand that Entellus has no control or obligations hereunder to police the third-party financing companys use or disposal of such Products, provided that Entellus shall instruct such third-party financing companies that it shall not sell
such Products outside the Territory. Distributor can sell to any customers within the Territory, even if those customers maintain facilities outside of the Territory, provided that the Products sold to such inter-territorial customers by Distributor
are to be consumed within the Territory. Any questions or disputes that arise with regard to which customers are within which territories, shall be submitted to, and resolved by Fiagon at its sole and complete discretion. Inquiries or purchase
requests that come to Distributor from potential customers outside its Territory shall be referred to Fiagons distributor in the territory in which the potential customer is located. Distributor shall adhere to the terms of any Fiagon
published distributor policies that relate to Product promotions, marketing and sales initiatives that may have impact outside of a distributors territory.
2. Fiagons Obligations. During the Term of this Agreement, Fiagon agrees:
a. That Fiagon will sell the Products to Distributor at Distributor Pricing (as defined below) for resale by Distributor in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all exhibits and attachments. The current Distributor Pricing for the Products is described in Exhibit C attached hereto. Once per contract year, Fiagon NA may modify its
Distributor Pricing by providing to Distributor no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of that modification(s), however, Fiagon NA may not modify the pricing of any Products sold to Distributor pursuant to customer agreements under
which pricing has been previously agreed upon;
b. To provide, when reasonably requested by Distributor, copies of such
technical data, brochures and promotional and advertising material, as may be produced from time to time by Fiagon NA. Fiagon NA reserves the right to charge Distributor an amount not to exceed Fiagon NAs actually incurred materials costs for
such brochures, promotional, and advertising material;
c. To cause Fiagon NA employees to meet from time to time with
customers and potential customers in the Territory, especially key opinion leaders, to build relationships, obtain clinical information, and support the efforts of Distributor;

that arise in connection with the efforts of Fiagon NA and its distributors to effectively market and sell the Products;
k. That Fiagon NA and Distributor will promptly communicate to each other any customer complaints or adverse events, including
those that require an MDR. Fiagon NA is required to investigate and provides a remedy to complaints and adverse events in cooperation with Entellus. Fiagon NA is responsible for filing all MDRs (medical device reports);
l. That Fiagon NA is responsible for reporting any product recall to Distributor and will be responsible for all costs
associated with the recall;
m. That Fiagon NA will obtain and maintain all clearances to market the product in the
Territory including regulatory approvals; and

accordance with Section 8(e) hereof, obtain and maintain at its own cost and expense, from a qualified insurance company, commercial general liability insurance, for the entire Territory, naming Distributor as an additional named insured. Such
insurance policy shall include blanket contractual liability, products liability and operations liability. The amount of coverage shall be a minimum of Five Million U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (combined single limit) for each single occurrence.
Such policy or policies shall provide for thirty (30) days written notice to Distributor from the insurer in the event of any cancellation or termination of the policy and shall endeavor to notify Distributor in the event of a

4
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
3. Distributor Obligations. Distributor hereby accepts the rights and obligations of a
Fiagon NA distributor pursuant to this Agreement and agrees that, so long as this Agreement is in effect, it will:
a.
Promote, demonstrate and sell Products using best efforts with a view to generating increased sale of Products pursuant to this Agreement. Distributor agrees to provide detailed sales activity reporting to Fiagon NA with the frequency and content
established in Fiagon NAs standard dealer policies and to similarly report on Product usage and other information requested by Fiagon NA as part of its marketing efforts;
b. Maintain well-trained and informed sales, marketing and technical personnel. Within the schedule attached as
Exhibit D, Distributor will appoint a member(s) of its staff to become the Fiagon® systems subject matter expert(s) in order to support the efforts of Distributors sales
personnel. Distributor will provide the resources reasonably necessary to enable its personnel to competently present and support the Products to potential customers. Until subject matter excellence is achieved by Distributor, it shall, for major
sales opportunities, be entitled to request sales assistance from Fiagon NA. Distributor will provide Fiagon NA with sufficient notice of such presentations to make necessary arrangements. Fiagon NA shall be entitled to test the specified Fiagon® subject matter experts to assess whether Distributor has complied with this obligation;
c. Maintain a sufficient inventory of Product to ensure prompt delivery of customers when orders are placed;
d. Deliver Products with the original unaltered labeling and logos to customers in Fiagon® packaging and with the instructions and materials provided by the manufacturer;

attachments) or otherwise established by Fiagon NA;
f. Provide technical support services to purchasers of Products in the

warranties of Product performance beyond the written representations made by Fiagon in its advertising or otherwise make false or misleading representations or warranties concerning the Products;

i. Provide to Fiagon NA estimates of Distributors anticipated purchases during the up-coming quarter or year in the
manner described in Fiagon NAs applicable policies and promptly notify Fiagon NA if Distributor anticipates a material departure from its estimates for the upcoming period(s). A failure to accurately forecast purchases shall not constitute a
breach of this Agreement but may affect the timing of delivery of Products ordered by Distributor;
5
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
j. Aspire to purchase the dollar value of Products that are prescribed in the
Performance Standards attached hereto as Exhibit E;
k. Comply with all laws or regulations applicable to it or
to its activity of purchasing Products from Fiagon NA and marketing and reselling Products in the Territory;
l. Refrain
from marketing or selling any image-guided surgery navigation system products that are substitutes for the Products or any other products that directly compete with the Products. The Parties understand that a product does not directly
compete with a Product if it performs the same function in a materially different way. For example, a tool used to confirm the location of a surgical instrument by endoscopic visualization or by transdermal illumination does not directly
compete with an IGS system that confirms the location of the instrument by computer-assisted extrapolation of the instruments position;
m. Upon request, cooperate with Fiagon NA employees in connection with marketing, sales, and Product support initiatives of
Fiagon NA directed to customers and potential customers in the Territory;
n. Throughout the term of this Agreement,
including any sell-off period in accordance with Section 8(e) hereof, obtain and maintain at its own cost and expense, from a qualified insurance company, commercial general liability insurance, for the entire Territory, naming Fiagon as an
additional named insured; such insurance shall include blanket contractual liability, operations liability, advertising injury, and cross liability with an amount of coverage of at least $5,000,000 per occurrence and products liability insurance
with an amount of coverage of at least $10,000,000 per occurrence; such insurance amounts may be met via a combination of primary and umbrella policies; such policy or policies shall provide for thirty (30) days written notice to Fiagon
from the insurer in the event of any cancellation or termination of the policy and shall endeavor to notify Fiagon in the event of a modification of the policy; Distributor shall, upon written request, provide Fiagon with proof that such insurance
is in force; and
o. Adhere to all policies and procedures published by Fiagon NA for implementation of its distributor
relationships, unless such policies and procedures violate any terms of this Agreement.
4. Use of Trademarks and Trade Names.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be read as transferring ownership in any intellectual property belonging to any party. Fiagon NA grants Distributor limited permission during the Term of this Agreement to use the trademarks and trade names of Fiagon
and solely to (i) designate the source of a Product; (ii) identify Distributor as an authorized distributor of Fiagon NA or the Products, and (iii) subject to the limitation set forth below, promote, market and sell Products in the
Territory. Distributors use of the trademarks and trade names of Fiagon and Fiagon NA must comply with any reasonable usage guidelines provided in writing by Fiagon NA to Distributor. Distributor is required to secure prior written approval
from Fiagon NA before using the Fiagon® trademarks or Fiagon or Fiagon NA trade names on any advertising or promotional material. If, in Fiagon NAs sole

Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
opinion, any proposed material contains a matter which may lessen the value of such trademark, Distributor agrees to delete or modify such matter to the satisfaction of Fiagon NA prior to
printing, distribution or use of such material. Distributor shall have the right to incorporate Entellus trademarks and tradenames in marketing materials alongside the trademarks and trade names of Fiagon. Fiagon agrees it will secure
Distributors prior written approval before distributing any marketing materials that includes Distributors trademarks and trade names.
5. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, Non-Disparagement and Injunctive Relief.
a. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. The parties acknowledge and agree that as a result of the relationship
established by this Agreement, they may obtain access to Confidential Information of the others. Confidential Information means any information disclosed by either Fiagon or the Distributor (each a Disclosing Party) to the
other party (each a Recipient) which relate directly or indirectly to the Disclosing Partys products, services or business and which is disclosed in tangible or electronic form and clearly marked as confidential or
proprietary or bears a similar designation, is disclosed orally or otherwise in intangible form and identified as confidential at the time of disclosure followed within 30 days of disclosure by a written transmission containing a summary
of the disclosed information and confirming its confidential or proprietary nature, and/or should reasonably be understood to be confidential or proprietary given the nature of the disclosed information and/or the circumstances surrounding
disclosure. Confidential Information may include technology, ideas, concepts, drawings, designs, inventions, discoveries, improvements, patents, patent applications, specifications, trade secrets, prototypes, processes, notes, memoranda and reports,
or visual representations concerning the Disclosing Partys past, present or future research, technology, know-how, and concepts, or computer programs, software code, written documentation, products, information concerning vendors, members,
customers, prospective customers, employees and prospective employees, market research, sales and marketing plans, distribution arrangements, financial statements, financial information, financing strategies and opportunities and business plans. A
Recipient shall keep Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party confidential and shall not disclose it to any unaffiliated third party or use it for any purpose other than to exercise its rights and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Recipient agrees to preserve the confidentiality of such information with at least the same degree of care as that taken by the Recipient to preserve and protect its own confidential or
proprietary information, and in no case less than a reasonable degree of care. The Recipient shall not be obligated to maintain any information in confidence, if: the information was lawfully in the Recipients possession or was known to it
prior to its disclosure from the Disclosing Party as evidenced by written records; the information is, at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes public knowledge without the fault of the Recipient; the information is or becomes rightfully
available on an unrestricted basis to the Recipient from a source other than the Disclosing Party which did not acquire the same under an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; or the information becomes available on an unrestricted
basis to a third party from the
7
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Disclosing Party or from someone acting under its control. Further, the Recipient may disclose the Disclosing Partys Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure is required by
subpoena or pursuant to a demand by any governmental authority, provided, however, that before such disclosure, the Recipient shall, to the extent permitted, notify the Disclosing Party of its intent to do so, and give the Disclosing Party
reasonable opportunity to take action to protect its rights and interest in such information. Neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement to an unaffiliated third party without the prior written approval of the other party, except for
legal, financial, accounting, or other similar advisors who have a need to know any of such terms and agrees to keep them confidential. The parties shall have the right to disclose the terms of this Agreement to current shareholders and in
connection with bona fide fund raising or sale of stock, provided that such disclosure is no broader than necessary to satisfy such purpose and is made under a confidentiality agreement including substantially similar confidentiality terms as
provided herein.
b. Non-Disparagement. The parties shall not, directly or indirectly, during the Term of this
Agreement or at any time thereafter, do or refrain from doing anything that may untruthfully disparage the reputation, prestige, value, image or impression of their respective trademarks or any other intellectual property of the party, the other
party, the Products, or any of the other partys officers, directors, affiliates, personnel, products, brands, or related companies, by words, actions or other communications, or by any omissions to speak, act or otherwise communicate, or in
any other manner whatsoever.
c. The parties understand and acknowledge that any breach of Section 5a or 5b or certain
other breaches hereof may cause the non-breaching party irreparable harm, the amount of which may be difficult to ascertain, and therefore agrees that notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14 hereof, the non-breaching party shall have the
right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or an order restraining and enjoining any such further breach and for such other relief as the non-breaching party shall deem appropriate. Such right of the
non-breaching party is to be in addition to the remedies otherwise available to the non-breaching party at law or in equity. The breaching party hereby expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate and any requirement in an
action for specific performance or injunction for the posting of a bond by the non-breaching party.
6. Terms and Conditions of
Sale. No order for Products is deemed made until accepted by Fiagon NA. The Terms and Conditions of Sale attached as Exhibit F, as modified from time to time by Fiagon NA upon reasonable notice to Distributor, shall govern all such
orders. Distributor acknowledges that these Terms and Conditions supersede any terms and conditions on any purchase order or other document supplied by Distributor to Fiagon NA. The parties shall separately establish, and Fiagon NA may from time to
time review and modify, the credit terms, if any, granted by Fiagon NA to Distributor.
8
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
7. Warranty and Limitation on Remedies; Disclaimer.
a. Fiagon agrees to pass on to customers the warranties provided by Fiagon on the Products. The term customer, as
used herein, means the first end-user customer that purchases the Products and not any subsequent purchaser or user. Fiagon warrants that the Products will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service with proper
maintenance for eighteen (18) months. The term for such warranties shall begin upon receipt of a Product by the Distributors customers. In the event that Distributor has received a Product from Fiagon more than 180 days prior to its
shipment to the customer (the Excess Period), Distributor shall reimburse and indemnify Fiagon for all costs and expenses from warranty claims that occur within the time period equal to the Excess Period before the end of the eighteen
(18) months warranty period. For example, if Distributor ships a Product to a customer after holding it in its inventory for 181 days, then the Distributor shall reimburse and indemnify for any warranty claims that arise on the last day of the
18 month warranty period. In the event that Distributor uses the Product itself for demo or other purposes, it the term of the warranty to Distributor shall begin upon Distributors receipt of the Product. Products used by Distributor for
demonstration or other purposes may not be sold to customers or any other third parties without Fiagons express written consent. Distributor and customers shall promptly notify Fiagon of any known warranty claims and shall cooperate in the
investigation of such claims. If any Product is proven to not conform with this warranty during the applicable warranty period, Fiagon shall, at its exclusive option, either: repair, replace the Products, or refund the purchase price paid by
Distributor for each non-conforming Product, within a reasonable time after written notification of the non-conformity and return of the Product to Fiagon NA. Fiagon shall have no obligation under the warranty set forth above if the customer fails
to notify Fiagon in writing during the warranty period of a non-conformity.
b. Any modification by Distributor or a
customer of the Products or any use, misuse or neglect thereof by the customer in a manner inconsistent with the specifications or directions for use or maintenance of the Product shall void the warranty protection provided by Fiagon. Fiagon shall
NOT be held liable or assume any responsibility for products damaged by improper installation, handling or maintenance.
c.
Fiagons obligation in the event of a breach of warranty is limited to the remedies set forth in this Section 7. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE, OR ANY SUCCESSOR WARRANTY, IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHICH
ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE.
d. In no event, be it for breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence or any other cause of action shall Fiagon be
liable to Distributor or any customer for consequential, incidental or punitive damages even if such damages were reasonably foreseeable.
e. Fiagons warranty and responsibility are limited to the Fiagon Products itself. Fiagon takes no responsibility for any
direct or indirect cost, losses or damages however incurred.
9
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
f. Returns must be accompanied by a return authorization number (RMA)
obtained from Fiagon Technical Support, and prepaid postage and insurance.
g. Fiagon products returned to Fiagon with an
RMA will be completed within 1-2 weeks of receipt of the product by Fiagon.
h. Fiagon reserves the right to make changes
or improvements in design or manufacturing without assuming any obligation to change or improve products previously manufactured.
i. Fiagon does not make nor does it give the authority to any employee, agent or representative of Fiagon to make any other
warranties, or implied warranties, or to waive, alter, vary or add to the terms hereof without the prior written approval of an officer of Fiagon.
8. Term and Termination.
a. Unless sooner terminated by mutual agreement or because of an uncured breach hereof, the initial term of this Agreement
begins on the Effective Date and will continue until June 30, 2020 (Initial Term). The Agreement will automatically renew in successive 24 month periods thereafter unless either party provides to the other party written notice of
non-renewal at least 365 days prior to the end of the then-current term. The Initial Term and all renewal terms constitute the Term of this Agreement.
b. This Agreement may be terminated on at least thirty (30) days prior written notice by either of the parties in the
event of a material breach by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement, provided the party intending to terminate the Agreement under this section provides the other party a detailed description of the claimed breach in the notice and
the breach remains uncured at the conclusion of the 30-day notice period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other if that other party
(i) engages in any act which materially impairs the goodwill associated with the Products or the trademarks of the terminating party; (ii) violates the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) ceases active operation of
its business, or (iv) engages in any materially unlawful conduct involving the manufacture, sale or distribution of the Products, whether such is subject to governmental action or not.
c. Fiagon may terminate the Distribution Agreement on at least thirty (30) days prior written notice in the event the
Distributor does not meet the performance standards specified in Exhibit E.
d. This Agreement shall automatically
terminate if (i) a party files a bankruptcy petition or is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy petition which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, becomes insolvent, is subject to an arrangement with creditors, or has a receiver
or trustee appointed for its assets, or (ii) Fiagon NA is unable to continue to import Fiagon® surgical navigation systems.
10
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
e. Upon termination or non-renewal of this Agreement, Distributor will
immediately cease to represent itself as an authorized distributor of Fiagon or the Products, will immediately cease all use of trademarks or trade names of Fiagon, and will take all action reasonably possible to cause the removal of trademarks and
trade names from all signs, directories, business cards, sales literature, advertisements and any other places where Distributor has used these valuable assets; provided that unless this Agreement is terminated for Distributors breach or
Fiagon NA exercises its option under Section 8.e below, Distributor may, for a period of three (3) months from the termination date, continue to sell such remaining inventory of Products bearing Fiagon® trademarks on a non-exclusive basis as Distributor may have on the effective date of termination, so long as Distributor complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all
applicable laws.
f. Upon termination or non-renewal, Fiagon NA may, in its sole discretion, repurchase from Distributor
all or any part of Distributors inventory of new, currently-supported Products that are in saleable condition at original purchase price from Fiagon NA.
g. Distributor shall assist Fiagon and/or its designee in any reasonable manner, including the granting of access to offices of

FOR SALES OF PRODUCTS
1. Orders. Distributor will place orders for Products in the manner described in Fiagon NAs distributor policies and procedures.
No order is deemed placed until accepted in writing by Fiagon NA. The terms of the Distributor Agreement shall apply to all orders. Fiagon NA will make good faith efforts to fulfill orders by the estimated ship date established at the time the order
was placed but that date is an estimate and Fiagon NA cannot guarantee that it will be met. Furthermore, if Distributors order volume materially departs from its forecast volume, fulfillment of some of Distributors orders may have to be
delayed in order to enable Fiagon NA to fill orders of distributors whose order volumes are consistent with their forecasts.
2.
Delivery. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, each purchase is FOB Fiagon NAs facility in Austin, Texas, USA. Distributor is solely responsible for causing the Products to be delivered to the location requested in the accepted order.
All risks of loss or damage during transport from Fiagon NAs facility to Distributor rest with Distributor. Distributor should promptly inspect the Products upon receipt. If Fiagon NA is not informed of any non-conformity with
Distributors order within ten (10) calendar days of receipt, the Products contained in that delivered order are deemed to have been accepted by Distributor.

Products to Distributor or to the delivery of the Products into Distributors territory, while Fiagon is exclusively responsible for, and shall pay, all taxes levied on manufacturers or importers of the Products including the Medical Device
Excise Tax.
4. Payment Terms; Title. Payment terms on the Products shall be Net 30. Distributor shall not be entitled to withhold

Products within the time provided in its credit arrangement with Fiagon NA, is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy petition, or is reasonably deemed to be insolvent, Fiagon NA shall be entitled to secure possession of the Products
for which it is still owed money and Distributor shall cooperate in the delivery of that possession.

otherwise provided in a credit agreement between the parties, Fiagon NA shall be entitled to apply finance charges at the rate of 1.5% per month on the overdue balance or such lower rate as may be required by law. Distributor shall pay all
