MEDICAL
SUPPLY MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
THIS
MEDICAL SUPPLY MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and
entered into as of 14 July 2010 between (i) MedPro Safety Products, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (“MedPro”), and Greiner Bio-One GmbH, an Austrian company
(“GBO”).
WHEREAS, MedPro owns the following
intellectual property
rights:
VACUETTE®
PREMIUM Safety Needle System (the “Tube-Activated Product” and the
“Skin-Activated Product”). The Tube-Activated Product and the Skin-Activated
Product are referred to hereinafter as the “Holder Product”, and
VACUETTE®
PREMIUM Safety Blood Collection Set (PSBC) hereinafter referred to as the “Wing
Product”, and
Collectively
the Holder Product and the Wing Product are herein referred to as the
“Products”.
WHEREAS, MedPro wishes to grant, and GBO
wishes to accept, the right to manufacture and distribute the Products, all
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
WHEREAS,
MedPro and GBO are parties to two agreements, titled ‘Medical Supply
Manufacturing Agreement’ and dated as of July 15th,
2008 and wish to terminate such agreements and supersede and replace them with
this consolidated and single Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, MedPro and GBO agree as
follows:
ARTICLE 1
-TERM AND
PROCEDURES
1.1
Medical Supply Manufacturing
Agreement. The two Medical Supply Manufacturing Agreements for
the products covered by this Agreement are hereby terminated effective as of the
date first set forth above, shall be of no further force or effect whatsoever,
and are replaced and superseded in their entirety by this
Agreement.
1.2
Exclusive
Rights. During the Term (as hereafter defined), GBO and its
affiliates will have the exclusive right to manufacture, market, and distribute
the Products. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, MedPro
shall remain the sole owner of all intellectual property rights related to the
Products, and GBO shall not be deemed to have been granted hereby any rights in
such intellectual property, except for the limited right to manufacture and sell
the Product during the Term as set forth herein.
1.3
Term.
(a) The
term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be the period commencing on the date
of this Agreement and, unless sooner terminated in accordance herewith, ending
on the date that is six (6) years from the date of initial commercial
manufacturing of any of the Products by GBO in accordance with this Agreement
(the “Initial Production Date”). The Term may be extended by GBO for
a seventh year in the circumstances set forth in section 2.2(e).
(b) This
Term may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, on such terms and
conditions (including duration, minimum production, royalties, etc.) as may be
agreed upon by the parties. Discussions regarding any possible
extension of the Term shall begin on or prior to the [*] anniversary
of the Initial Production Date. If the parties are unable to agree
upon terms and conditions for extending the Term within one hundred eighty (180)
days after such [*] anniversary, then MedPro will offer GBO the option to extend
the Term for a period of [*] years after the initial Term, at the
Production Royalty (as hereafter defined) in effect at the end of the initial
Term, with a maximum annual Minimum Annual Production (as hereafter defined) to
be increased [*] in each year. For purposes of
clarification, the maximum annual Minimum Annual Production would be increased
[*] over that year in the first year of the extended Term, and an
additional [*] in each year of the extended Term thereafter. If GBO
does not accept this offer within thirty (30) days after notice thereof by
MedPro, the Term will not be extended and will expire at the end of the original
Term.
(c) When
the Term expires or is terminated for any reason whatsoever, MedPro shall have
the option to purchase any or all Production equipment (as hereafter defined)
from GBO at the greater of GBO’s depreciated book value or fair market
value. MedPro shall exercise such option by delivering written notice
thereof to GBO within thirty (30) days after expiration or termination of the
Term.
1.4
Product
Development. The parties hereto agree to abide in good faith
by the following development schedule:
(a) GBO
has paid MedPro an aggregate amount of USD1,350,000 for the initial product
design (the “Program Fee”) for the Holder Product. The payment of
USD1,350,000 has been earned with delivery of the initial design plan, by 1
October 2008. GBO has paid MedPro an aggregate amount of USD1,000,000
for the initial product design (the “Program Fee”) for the Wing
Product. The payment of USD1,000,000 has been earned with delivery of
the initial design plan by 1 October 2008.
(b) The
[*] will be marketed first, and may be followed by the [*], which will be
marketed at the time designated solely by GBO. For the purposes of
this Agreement, the Initial Production Date shall be defined as fourth quarter
of 2010 based upon the calendar year.
(c) MedPro
has provided the initial design of the Wing Product to GBO in accordance with
the terms of the prior agreement between the parties. It is the
financial responsibility of MedPro to fully validate the initial device design
and to secure all regulatory approvals necessary to the marketing of the
product. It is understood that GBO may want to modify the initial
device design prior to high volume production and
Commercialization. MedPro will maintain design control as provided
for in the current regulatory protocols and in accordance with the quality
contracts attached as Exhibits to this Agreement, unless modified in the future
within the terms of the Agreement. MedPro reserves the right to
request reimbursement for future validation expenses related to modifications
requested by GBO if MedPro estimates that these expenses are
significant. MedPro will notify GBO of proposed expenditure in
advance of incurring those items, whenever possible. GBO and
MedPro will endeavor to work under the principle of fairness in this
regard.

Page
(d) For
the Wing Product, GBO will complete, install, and validate the
Production Line at a mutually acceptable date. This Production Line
will include presses, molds, automation, packaging, and
engineering. MedPro is financially responsible to fully validate the
physical venous access device, defined as from the distal end up to and
including the winged adapter. MedPro will continue to assist GBO in
the development and validation of accessories for the device.
(e) The
Initial Production Date of the [*] will be 1 October 2010, and the target date
for the initial production of the Wing Product is [*]. All future
post commercialization Product modifications not related to Product design
failures will be requested by GBO and reviewed by MedPro. It is
understood by both parties that future costs of design modifications not related
to design failures will be the primary responsibility of GBO.
(f) If
MedPro has not secured the regulatory approvals necessary to the marketing of
the Wing Product by [*], then MedPro will pay GBO liquidated damages in the
amount of USD[*] on [*], and on the first day of each succeeding calendar
quarter through [*] until regulatory approvals have been
secured. Thereafter, should regulatory approvals still not be
secured, MedPro will pay GBO liquidated damages of $[*] per quarter during Year
2, $[*] per quarter for Year 3, $[*] per quarter for year 4 and $[*] per quarter
for Year 5, until the regulatory approvals have been secured. MedPro
will retain the obligation to make any such payments of liquidated damages if
MedPro assigns its rights to receive production royalty payments to a separate
subsidiary for financing purposes.
(g) Any
future Product modifications requested by GBO after the Initial Production Date
will be submitted to MedPro for review in advance. MedPro’s review shall
include compliance with MedPro design control protocol and any patentability
review as MedPro may deem appropriate, based upon the nature of each
modification contemplated. All future Product modifications will be
completed within the terms of the quality system requirements as provided for in
this Agreement.
1.5 Quality
Specifications. Both parties agree that all requirements to
this Agreement shall be made in compliance with each party’s Quality System, and
all related procedures and policies. This shall include all
stipulated requirements for compliance with the US Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”), including QSR requirements, and CE registration, including the Medical
Device Directive (“MDD”). The parties agree to cooperate with each
other’s Quality protocols as necessary, and to deal with Quality control matters
that arise in accordance with the following documents:
(a) Quality
System Considerations.
(b) CE
Contract.
(c) Matrix of
Responsibilities.
(d) Product
Description(s).
These
documents may be mutually modified from time to time, and in writing, by both
parties.

As used
in this Agreement, a “unit” means one single item of the either the Holder
Product or the Wing Product.
2.2
Production
Royalty.
(a) The
Production Royalty to be paid to MedPro by GBO for all Products is USD[*] per
unit.
(b) The
amount of the quarterly Production Royalty payable each quarter shall be based
upon a number of Product units equal to the greater of the Minimum Quarterly
Volume for the quarter, or actual Product unit sales for the
quarter. Until such time as GBO has paid the Production Royalty on
[*] Product units, the amount of the minimum quarterly Production Royalty owed
by GBO for any quarter shall be reduced by the amount that the total of the
quarterly Production Royalties actually paid by GBO for all preceding quarters
exceeds the amount of (i) the sum of the Minimum Quarterly Volume for all
preceding quarters (ii) multiplied by the Production Royalty per
unit. After GBO has paid the Production Royalty on [*] Product units,
the amount of the quarterly Production Royalty payable by GBO shall be actual
Product unit sales for the quarter multiplied by the Production Royalty per
unit.
(c) Within
15 days after the end of each month, GBO will provide to MedPro a monthly
summary of total unit sales of each of the Tube-Activated Product, the
Skin-Activated Product and the Wing Product.

Page
(d) GBO
shall pay each quarterly Production Royalty payment to MedPro no later than 15
days following the end of the preceding calendar quarter.
(e) If
the sum of the Minimum Quarterly Volume amounts for Years 1 through 6 exceeds
the total number of Product units sold by GBO during Years 1 through 6 (the
“Sales Shortfall”), then during the 7th year
following the Initial Production Date, GBO shall have the right to manufacture a
number of units equal to the Sales Shortfall for which no Production Royalty
shall be payable under Section 2.2(a). This provision shall not affect GBO’s
obligation to pay the Production Royalty to MedPro during Years 1 through
6.
2.3
Late
Payment. In the event of late payment to MedPro by GBO, MedPro
shall be entitled to interest in the amount two percent (2%) of the Production
Royalties due, per month from the day after the date payment was first due
through the date when payment is received.
2.4
Marketing.
(a) In
consideration of the substantial capital expenditures by Greiner to complete,
install, and validate production lines for the Holder and Wing Products, MedPro
agrees to contribute toward anticipated costs for marketing of the
Products. MedPro shall make a quarterly contribution payment to
Greiner in an amount equal to USD[*].
MedPro agrees to make its payment no later than the 30th day
following the end of each calendar quarter. MedPro will direct its
payment to the appropriate Greiner subsidiary producing the Products, as
directed by Greiner. MedPro will retain the obligation to make
payments for marketing expenses under this agreement (i) if MedPro assigns its
rights to receive production royalty payments to a separate subsidiary for
financing purposes, and (ii) for any month in which MedPro must pay liquidated
damages to GBO as provided in section 1.4(f).
(b) Following
the marketing and sales of the Products by Greiner, which will initiate on
October 1 2010, Greiner and/or MedPro shall have the right to request a
renegotiation of the marketing contribution if unforeseen market conditions have
had a material impact on the project. This may include both lower
than expected market demand, significantly increased production costs, or
significantly higher market demand. There is no obligation on the
part of either party to accept suggested modifications to the market
contribution. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith regarding
this issue.

(a) In
the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this

unresolved controversy or claim shall be settled by arbitration administered by
the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its

that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be
concluded within 120 days from the date the arbitrator(s) are appointed. The
arbitral tribunal may extend this time limit in the interests of justice.
Failure to adhere to this time limit shall not constitute a basis for
challenging the award. Consistent with the expedited nature of

production of relevant, non-privileged documents explicitly referred to by a
party for the purpose of supporting relevant facts presented in its case,

or
(d) Is
required to be disclosed pursuant to court order, federal, state, or foreign
government regulation or requirement of a federal, state, or foreign
governmental authority.
8.3
Nondisclosure. Both
MedPro and GBO shall maintain in confidence any Confidential Information which
is disclosed directly or indirectly to it by the other party, and shall not make any use of
such Confidential Information other than performing services hereunder or
disclose such information to any third party without the other party’s express
prior written consent. MedPro will notify GBO and submit to GBO
articles any informational releases that it is aware of or responsible for that

other party (as reasonably required) in obtaining such protection from the
governmental authority.
8.5 Injunctive
Relief. Each of MedPro and GBO acknowledges that the other
party has no adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed if it
breaches or threatens to breach the provisions of this Article 8, and therefore,
both parties agree that the injured party shall be entitled to injunctive relief
to prevent any breach or threatened breach of those provisions and to specific
performance of the terms of each of such provisions in addition to any other
