OTHER TERMS:

 

·                  There shall be no Minimum Batches/Year and no Maximum Batches/Year;

 

·                  Pricing reflected in this Exhibit B shall be increased by 3% on January 1, 2015.  The fees for use of Suite 114 may be adjusted thereafter annually beginning January 1, 2016 as mutually agreed upon by the parties, provided, however, that any such adjustment shall not exceed the annual change in the CPI-U of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.  AXOGEN will have the right to use Suite 114 of the Ward Court facility for up to three shifts per normal business day.

 

·                  Parties may periodically review usage and space needs.

 

·                  AXOGEN is to employ processors and assume supervisory and oversight responsibilities for processors who process for AXOGEN in the LIFENET HEALTH facility.  LIFENET HEALTH will provide support as described in the Quality Plan.

 

·                  In conjunction with LIFENET HEALTH’s need for the use of Suite 118, AXOGEN equipment currently situated in Suite 118 (the “Equipment”) will be stored in such area in 3417 Chandler Creek Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23453 (“Location”) as designated by LIFENET HEALTH.  Any additional equipment relocated to this location must be pre-approved by LIFENET HEALTH.  Any cost or expense associated with equipment being removed from this Location, shall be the sole responsibility of AXOGEN.  AxoGen will be responsible for the cost of moving the Equipment from Suite 118 to the particular area in the Location designated by LIFENET HEALTH.  After the move of the Equipment, LIFENET HEALTH will have complete control and access to Suite 118.  Upon 90 days’ notice from AXOGEN to LIFENET HEALTH, LIFENET HEALTH will make reasonable efforts to provide AXOGEN with space to meet AXOGEN’s forecasted needs, provided, however, such space shall be reasonably equivalent as to functionality as Suite 118.  AXOGEN would pay for the cost of moving and calibrating the Equipment so it may be operated in the same manner as is available currently.  Rates for such comparable space will be equivalent to the
