The Liaison’s duties shall include responding promptly and fully to all reasonable requests from HCRI. The Liaison may consult informally with HCRI’s representatives, both in person and by telephone, regarding the Trial. All notices and approvals to be made by Sponsor pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by or through the Liaison, in accordance with Section 18(f) (“Notices”), and HCRI shall be entitled to look solely to the Liaison for such notices and approvals. The Liaison shall be Eli Bar, Vice President of Research and Development.

3.	Primacy of Health Care Mission.

Sponsor acknowledges that the primary mission of HCRI is health care, education and the advancement of knowledge and, consequently, all Clinical Trial Services, (described in Exhibit A), provided by HCRI under this Agreement shall be performed in a manner best suited to carry out that mission. Furthermore, HCRI does not guarantee specific results of the Trial.

4.	Data Ownership.

Sponsor shall have exclusive ownership rights to the Clinical Trial Data, as well as to the content of analyses and reports relating to the Trial which are delivered to Sponsor by HCRI. Sponsor shall be free to use the Clinical Trial Data and the content of such analyses and reports for its own business purposes, provided however that Sponsor agrees that it shall be solely liable for the content of the analyses or reports if it changes or otherwise modifies such analyses or reports in any way at any time from the form in which they were delivered to Sponsor. HCRI shall own all rights to the procedures, methodologies, computer programs, analytic tools, work papers, and know-how used and/or generated by HCRI in conducting such analyses relating to the Trial (collectively, “HCRI Know-How”). Sponsor agrees not to reproduce and/or disseminate such HCRI Know-How for its benefit or the benefit of any third party.

5.	Compensation.

Compensation and Payment. In consideration for its services which shall be performed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with industry good practice standards, HCRI will receive remuneration equal to an estimated fee of $$6,994,456 USD, as detailed in Exhibit A. Additional costs described in Exhibit A as “TBD” shall be agreed to in writing by the parties prior to being incurred. Sponsor and HCRI expressly agree that such fee represents an estimate arrived upon in good faith and based on the parties’ mutual understanding of the Scope of Work at the outset of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the conditions of Section 5(b) regarding changes in scope, it is hereby agreed that Sponsor shall not be required or obligated to pay any amount exceeding the aforesaid estimated amount including costs set forth in this Agreement unless agreed upon in writing between the parties and signed by their authorized signatory persons. This estimated fee will be invoiced according to the payment schedule provided in Exhibit B. Sponsor agrees to pay each undisputed invoice upon receipt. To the extent there is no good faith dispute as to the validity of the invoice, accounts not paid within forty-five (45) days of receipt thereof will be considered overdue. Overdue accounts will be charged 0.5% of the amount outstanding for each month that the invoice remains unpaid. Sponsor shall inform HCRI in writing of any disputed amounts invoiced within forty-five (45) days of receipt of invoice. Sponsor shall communicate such objection in a timely manner to HCRI after its discovery. Failure to inform HCRI as aforesaid shall not prejudice any of Sponsor's rights to disagree to any invoice at any time subject to statute of limitation.

Changes in Scope. Amounts paid by Sponsor under this Section 5 may be increased if the Scope of Work detailed in Exhibit A changes and if such amount increases the total contract value set forth above by more than $100,000 it should be pre approved in writing by Sponsor. If changes in scope are required, a Contract Change Order describing the modification to the Scope of Work and detailing the associated adjustment to the project costs will be issued by HCRI and agreed to in writing and signed by HCRI and Sponsor as soon as practicable. If requested by Sponsor in writing, or required by circumstances beyond either party’s control, HCRI may continue performing services outside the Scope of Work (provided that the charge for such services shall not increase the total costs described in Exhibit A by more than $100,000 without Sponsor's written pre-approval) prior to the parties’ execution of a Contract Change Order if interruption of performance would delay the Study or delivery of the Services contained in Exhibit A. Sponsor acknowledges that the timely continuation of Services is contingent upon Sponsor’s prompt review and execution of proposed Contract Change Orders. Additionally, Sponsor acknowledges that certain adjustments to the estimated fee may be necessary during the term of this Agreement along with a detailed explanation of same; provided that the charge for such services shall not increase the total costs described in in Exhibit A by more than $100,000 without Sponsor's written pre-approval. HCRI shall provide Sponsor with prompt notice of any adjustment deemed necessary. Further, the parties shall review and address any dispute relating to all such adjustments.

Sponsor represents, warrants and agrees that the Investigational Product will be produced in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Sponsor further represents, warrants and agrees that appropriate federal and state government authorization has been or will be obtained for the use of the Investigational Product for the Trial.

Adverse Reactions. Sponsor agrees that HCRI is not responsible for the costs of diagnosis, care and treatment of any undesirable side effects, adverse reactions, illness or injury to a participant in the Trial which result from participation in the Trial, except to the extent such costs arise directly from HCRI’s gross negligence or reckless or intentional misconduct. This section is not intended to create any third-party contractual benefit for any participants or Clinical Sites in the Trial.

Immediate Notification of Adverse Reactions. Sponsor shall immediately transmit to HCRI any information regarding any Serious Adverse Events associated with the use of the Investigational Product. HCRI shall immediately transmit to Sponsor, or its designee, any information regarding previously unreported Serious Adverse Events experienced by participants in the Trial.

8.	Confidentiality.

Confidential Information Defined. “Confidential Information” shall mean information provided by the party disclosing information (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Recipient”) pursuant to this Agreement, or in anticipation hereof, which is preferably marked “Confidential” when disclosed or is otherwise treated as confidential by the Disclosing Party, except as excluded from this definition in Section 8(b). If not in tangible form, the Disclosing Party agrees to identify such information as confidential when disclosed and make reasonable efforts to confirm in writing the confidential nature of the information within thirty (30) days of such disclosure. Confidential Information shall include any reports or documents created by the Recipient that include, summarize, or refer to Confidential Information. Examples of Confidential Information include, but are not limited to, any information, data, or know-how relating to the Disclosing Party’s business interests, products, procedures, pharmaceutical or device development efforts, trade secrets, information regarding marketing or pricing or vendors or suppliers, or other technological information. It is hereby acknowledged that all Clinical Trial Data and other materials prepared using the same or derived therefrom shall be treated as Confidential Information, and treatment of same will be in accordance with the Section entitled Publication.

Exclusions to Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information or materials: (i) which was available to the public prior to the disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (ii) which were not acquired directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party and which Recipient lawfully had in its possession prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement or any underlying confidentiality agreement between the parties, as demonstrated by proof in Recipient’s records before the Effective Date; or (iii) which Recipient can demonstrate was developed by or for Recipient independently of the disclosure of Confidential Information by the Disclosing Party, as demonstrated by proof in Recipient’s records.

Obligations of the Recipient. The Recipient of Confidential Information shall: (i) receive, maintain, and hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and use at least the same level of care in protecting it that it uses with its own confidential material of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care; (ii) take all reasonable steps necessary and appropriate to verify that Recipient’s employees, subcontractors, officers, and/or agents treat the Confidential Information as confidential and to verify that such employees, subcontractors, officers, and/or agents are familiar with and abide by the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) not utilize Confidential Information, except as provided for herein, without first obtaining the Disclosing Party’s written consent to such utilization. All obligations under this Section shall expire five (5) years after the termination of this Agreement.

Permitted Disclosure. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information only to the extent required by law or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that Recipient promptly provide the Disclosing Party with advance notice of such imminent disclosure and provide assistance in obtaining an order to limit the scope of information being disclosed and to protect such Confidential Information using its best efforts. Such permitted disclosure shall not otherwise negate the obligation for Recipient to maintain the confidentiality of such information for any other purpose under this Agreement.

Retention and Destruction. At any time upon the request of the Disclosing Party, Recipient shall return or destroy all Confidential Information in its possession (and have an officer certify the scope of such return or destruction), including copies, and/or any other form or reproduction and/or description and/or analysis thereof made by Recipient. However, Recipient reserves the right to retain one (1) copy of such Confidential Information for purposes of verifying the Confidential Information that was provided pursuant to this Agreement. Recipient shall, at minimum, retain such copy of the Confidential Information in accordance with the time periods proscribed by applicable law.

Limited Delivery of Sponsor Confidential Information. The free dissemination of information is an important policy of HCRI. To minimize questions concerning the confidentiality of disclosures, trade secrets, or proprietary data or information, Sponsor agrees to limit to the extent possible the delivery of Sponsor Confidential Information to HCRI.

Notwithstanding the foregoing but without derogating therefrom, the parties agree that nothing in this Agreement by implication or otherwise shall constitute a grant of rights to any Pre-Existing Intellectual Property, and that this Agreement is not intended to transfer any intellectual property rights that either party owned or in-licensed before entering this Agreement.

11.	Indemnification.

Sponsor Indemnification. Sponsor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless HCRI and its trustees, officers, medical and professional staff, employees, agents, subcontractors and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “HCRI Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) (collectively “Losses”) incurred by, or imposed upon, an HCRI Indemnitee arising out of performance of the Study, infringement of intellectual property rights, the Investigational Product, or Sponsor’s performance under this Agreement, except to the extent that such Losses are the direct result of an HCRI Indemnitee’s gross negligence, or intentional misconduct.

HCRI Indemnification. HCRI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sponsor and its trustees, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Sponsor Indemnitees) from and against any Losses incurred by, or imposed upon, a Sponsor Indemnitee arising out of HCRI’s gross negligence, wrongful act or omission, or willful malfeasance, except to the extent caused by a Sponsor Indemnitee’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Attorneys. The Indemnifying party agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to the indemnitee to defend against any actions brought or filed against any party indemnified hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.

Notice. Each party agrees to provide the other party with prompt written notice of any Losses which it has actual knowledge or a reasonable belief thereof. No party shall settle or pay any claim which may trigger an indemnification obligation without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent.

This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

12.	Insurance.

Sponsor Insurance. Sponsor shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain product/completed operations liability insurance coverage as required by law in the country where the Study is conducted if local admitted insurance is required. Where no local admitted insurance is required the following shall apply:

Sponsor shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain product/completed operations liability insurance coverage in amounts of five million ($5,000,000) dollars each and every loss and in the aggregate for the period of insurance which names the HCRI Indemnitees as additional isureds.

Such product/completed liability coverage will be maintained for three (3) years after the conclusion of the Study. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this Section shall not be construed to create a limit of Sponsor’s liability with respect to its indemnification under the preceding Section of this Agreement.

Proof of Insurance. Sponsor shall provide HCRI with written evidence of such insurance upon execution of this Agreement. Sponsor shall provide HCRI with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance.

Maintenance of Insurance. Sponsor shall maintain such comprehensive general liability insurance: (i) during the continuance of the Trial or the term of this Agreement, whichever is longer; and (ii) for a reasonable period after the period referred to in the preceding subpart (i), which in no event shall be less than six (6) years.

This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

13.	Limitation of Liability and Remedies.

IN THE EVENT OF ANY MATERIAL BREACH, OMISSION, OR NEGLIGENCE BY HCRI IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SPONSOR AGREES THAT ITS FIRST RECOURSE SHALL BE TO SEEK REPERFORMANCE BY HCRI OF THE SERVICES DETRIMENTALLY IMPACTED BY SUCH ERROR OR OMISSION AT THE SOLE COST AND EXPENSE OF HCRI.

EACH OF SUCH LIMITATIONS IS INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY OTHER EXCLUSIVE OR NON-EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Budget Companion

Study Start-Up

·	Protocol Review

The study protocol is reviewed by many operating departments at HCRI, as well as clinical experts from the therapeutic area being studied. This will assist Project Team personnel in understanding the important scientific elements of the study. The review process will help to confirm not only the completeness of the scientific and clinical justifications, but also the clearness of detail for site compliance and conformity with both US and outside of the US regulatory guidelines.

Medical Management

Medical Management will be performed by physicians at HCRI. Their responsibilities will include protocol and case report form review, oversight for Clinical Event Committee (CEC) and Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) services, consultation to InspireMD and the HCRI Team for trial strategy issues, provision of overall medical support to HCRI Project Teams, and clinical review of report deliverables generated by HCRI. In addition, these physicians will be available as members of the Project Team for additional medical support, to answer study related clinical questions, and to provide medical review of SAE Regulatory Reports.

Safety Management

·	SAE Review & Processing with Narratives

HCRI uses an Empirica™Trace database to track incoming SAEs which are received from sites through an e-mail notification system from the EDC database. InspireMD will also receive a notification of the SAE once it is received at HCRI. The SAE is entered into the Empirica™Trace database and MedDRA coded at the time of entry. We may contact the sites to gather sufficient information to generate a clear narrative of the event. If applicable, a Safety Regulatory Reporting document (MedWatch, CIOMS) may be generated for the SAE. All Safety Regulatory Reports will be sent to InspireMD, who will be responsible for submission to the appropriate regulatory authorities.

A coding review of adverse events will be performed on a periodic basis and prior to any report deliverable. This review will ensure that the appropriate medical concept is assigned through the standardized coding dictionary to every adverse event and that all events are coded in a consistent manner.

·	SAE Reconciliation

The SAEs entered in Empirica™Trace will be reconciled with the SAEs in the EDC database based on information obtained on the eCRF. A Reconciliation Plan will be created which details all data elements to be reconciled and a timeline for review. This Reconciliation Plan will be reviewed with InspireMD prior to inclusion into the Data Management Plan. According to the timeline outlined in the Reconciliation Plan, periodic listings of all SAEs will be generated from Empirica™Trace and matched/reconciled against the EDC database. Queries will be generated for any data elements pertaining to an SAE that are inaccurate or not consistent between the two databases.

·	Weekly Safety Reports & Monthly Cumulative Reports

Weekly Safety Reports provide an update for any UADE’s and Deaths received in the previous week, with password-protect Word narrative attachments for new and follow up cases. Monthly Cumulative Reports list all SAEs processed within a pre-determined reporting frequency (i.e., monthly). The Weekly Safety Reports are provided manually while the Monthly Cumulative Reports are pre-programmed. Examples of such reports can be provided upon request.

Medical Monitoring

The Medical Monitor (MM) will be an interventional cardiologist- boarded and active in this area of clinical research. Prior to assuming duties, the MM will first complete all document training on applicable HCRI SOPs with regard to trial medical monitoring, good clinical practice, safety reporting, clinical trial management as well as training on this study protocol and the investigator brochure and protocol referenced literature and source documents.

The Medical Monitor will provide the following essential services for this study during normal business hours (weekdays) unless contacted by the Sponsor or the clinical site personnel for after hour emergencies.

The MM will ensure compliance with study protocol, regulatory requirements, and the integrity of data and safety of Trial subjects and will determine causality assessments of SAE events and determine their relationship and clinical significance to the Trial using medical judgment. The MM will also perform review of case report forms for events, narrative, concomitant medication, medical history to identify trend, discrepancy and will consult with site Principal Investigators to clarify inclusion/exclusion criteria for potential Trial subjects and verify eligibility prior to site access to subject randomization system as applicable. This will also include consulting with site Principal Investigator and Site Coordinator(s) in cases of premature subject discontinuation.

The MM will be available to the trial DMC and the CEC on an as needed basis regarding any background information with respect to any significant safety or compliance issues. The MM will also perform laboratory data review of study subject and determine clinical significance in consultation with Sponsor and Investigator based on information in Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and scientific literature.

The MM will review any Trial protocol violations/deviations and initiate remedial action and site training to ensure corrective action is applied and the accuracy of the clinical trial data is intact. The MM will work with the Medical Director, Clinical Safety and the assigned Clinical Safety Associate of HCRI assigned to the Trial to monitor all Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) until resolution.

The MM also may be called upon to participate in meetings/teleconferences as required with the Sponsor, Study Team members and/or regulatory agencies as deemed appropriate.

Project Management

·	Project Oversight

A Project Manager (PM) will lead the HCRI team in completing HCRI’s Scope of Work for this project. The PM will facilitate communication among all team members and serve as InspireMD’s point of contact for all study-related activities performed by HCRI. In addition, the PM will manage HCRI personnel’s adherence to the study timelines, budgets and deliverables and provide review of study deliverables, including the CRFs, CRF completion guidelines, and reports. HCRI’s Project Management team will include Project Assistants who will provide services such as meeting minutes, meeting scheduling, and other study administrative needs.

Additionally, it is anticipated that HCRI’s PM will oversee the activities of the OUS Site Management and Monitoring vendor, but it is understood that InspireMD maintains responsibility for their performance unless the OUS vendor contracts directly with HCRI.

·	Internal/External Conferencing

HCRI’s Project Team will meet periodically to review all current matters relating to the study. The team members for this study will include the Project Manager, Project Assistant, Lead CRA, HCRI Physician, Data Manager, Clinical Reviewer, Safety Officer, Biostatistician, and Programmer, and EDC representative. In addition, a weekly conference call with InspireMD will be coordinated by the HCRI Project Manager and will include a review of study timelines and milestones as well as any other issues which may arise during the course of the study.

·	Investigators Meeting

Investigators Meeting costs have been removed from the budget and Agreement pending further discussion between HCRI and InspireMD related to logistics and responsibilities.

Data Management Electronic Data Capture

This Agreement and budget is based on using HCRI’s EDC resources and the InForm EDC system. In the event that HCRI’s EDC services are not used, costs for all resources are subject to modification and a Contract Change Order will be issued.

·	Data Management and EDC

Data management will be performed according to ICH-GCP and other applicable guidelines. HCRI will evaluate the trial in the design phase in order to create an efficient data management process specific to the study requirements, and in conjunction with EDC activities, that tracks toward delivering a clean, locked database within the required timelines. Every major element of the data management process is closely monitored by a lead Data Manager (DM) in accordance with HCRI’s standard operating procedures (SOPs).

The DM will create eCRF Specifications and Edit Check Specifications in conjunction with review by the Project Team. To ensure delivery of a database that reflects the specifications and meets the quality expectations of HCRI, the DM will coordinate the database testing process. Once the trial goes live, the DM will review the eCRF data, including automated and manual queries, and raise manual queries as necessary. A 10% manual query rate is assumed based on HCRI experience with similar trials. A higher query rate will incur additional cost. The DM will address the status of queries and follow up with the sites to close automated and manual queries. The DM will lock the eCRF forms in accordance with the scope and definition of the project. The DM will produce standard enrollment and eCRF status reports throughout the trial and provide them to study management as defined in the Data Management Plan. Custom reports are available at additional cost to InspireMD.

The DM will prepare a Data Management Plan (DMP) that defines and documents the data management activities being performed. The DMP covers the scope of DM activities for the trial and includes a description of the data collection process, the workflow, documentation on the logic and processes for data review and validation, critical timelines and milestones, types of and timing of management reports, description and timing of data transfers, and documentation of external data reconciliation, as applicable. Early development and approval of the DMP is intended to enhance communication between all parties concerned, thereby leading to more efficient and accurate data collection. This plan will be reviewed and updated during the course of the project.

The DM will compile eCRF Completion Guidelines (CCGs) to instruct sites on accurate completion of the eCRFs. The CCGs will be reviewed and finalized with input from InspireMD and may be updated during the course of the project. Two drafts and one final version of the CCGs are assumed for this Agreement and budget. Additional drafts will incur additional cost.

·	eCRF Design

HCRI will design eCRFs that capture the information needed to describe the eligible study population, patient characteristics, procedural details, safety and efficacy information of the investigational product, and of the study endpoints to be analyzed. It is assumed that HCRI standard eCRFs will be utilized. Changes to or requirements beyond the standard eCRFs may result in additional programming time and/or cost. eCRF specifications and versions will be developed collaboratively with InspireMD. Two iterations of drafts and one final draft with approval on the eCRF content and specifications are assumed for the purpose of providing this cost estimate. Additional changes may impact both cost and timelines for eCRF implementation.

·	Study Start-up and Database Build

Once specifications are approved, the eCRFs will be programmed and a database established. HCRI will outline edit check specifications for consistency and accuracy of the data as it is being entered to the EDC system. These specifications will be reviewed internally by the database design team and presented to InspireMD for input and review. Once approved, these specifications will be programmed and added to the EDC database.

HCRI will create a formalized test plan for InspireMD’s approval prior to database testing. Based on that plan, HCRI will develop test scripts and test data which will be executed internally to resolve any issues. InspireMD is invited to view and test the database during this timeframe. Once testing is complete and issues have been resolved, a Test Summary document will be prepared for review. After the final phase of trial verification occurs, HCRI will review and approve the documented process. The Project Team and InspireMD are required to approve the release of the study to the production environment.

·	Site Assessments and Support Documentation

HCRI will electronically assess each site to ensure internet access and compatibility. HCRI will also collect user information and establish the site and user database for the trial. System configuration settings will be reviewed by the Project Team and InspireMD before incorporation into the system. All documentation is kept in a secure electronic library with version control.

Training

InForm training will be provided using PhaseForward’s InStruct Online solution. This internet based training is an easy to use e-learning system that allows users to learn in a self-paced training environment and provides worldwide documented course certification and re-certification. Upon course completion and a formal testing process, users will receive a Certificate of Completion in electronic PDF format and each user receives access to the course materials for one (1) year.

Hosting

Hosting charges are based on the number of users and the number of patients in the study. Hosting is an ongoing monthly server charge, beginning at the “Go-Live” date, or the date the study is first made available for data entry. Hosting is terminated on the date the final study report is accepted by InspireMD at which point the server is decommissioned. If the study runs longer than projected, the monthly server charge is continued until the server can be decommissioned.

·	Data points/Licensing

The licensing charge is a one-time fee based on the total number of expected forms/data points. If additional forms are programmed per sponsor request and the number of data points increases, the licensing fee may increase. This fee is reflective of server space being sectored and dedicated for this trial and is incurred in full at the time the trial goes live. Due to server and data integrity issues, the sectored database is “fixed”; this fee may not be reduced, and may be increased if the volume of data points increases from that shown in the Parameter Table in this Agreement.

Help Desk

The technical Help Desk for EDC trials is billed monthly based on the number of sites. Help Desk is available in multiple languages and has been priced for 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The Help Desk charge has been calculated from the “Go-Live” month until the trial is locked. An extended requirement for Help Desk services will incur additional costs.

·	EDC Database Administration/Maintenance

EDC administration covers the required time to support the EDC system throughout the trial on teleconference and responding to questions from InspireMD and users. HCRI also monitors Help Desk and server issues, escalating or researching problems that may occur.

Changes to the database after “Go-Live” may result in a contract change order for out-of-scope requests. Changes that are made to forms or edit checks as a result of a protocol amendment or per client request will incur additional charges.

·	Study Portal

The study portal is a central repository for site users to access the most recent versions of the protocol, CRF completion guidelines, and contact information. In addition, memos, newsletters, and FAQs can be posted on the portal for ease of access by all study users.

·	Submission Closeout

Once the final study report has been issued, and the trial is ready to be archived, site-specific study data will be provided to each site and a complete set of data will be created for InspireMD. This data will be provided as a PDF (or other universally acceptable format) for easy navigation and to meet the applicable regulatory guidelines.

Statistical Analysis & Reporting

·	Statistical Analysis Plan

The Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) is a comprehensive and detailed description of the statistical methods and presentation of data analyses proposed for a clinical trial. The SAP is finalized prior to database locking and treatment code unblinding, in order to avoid post hoc decisions that may affect the interpretation of the statistical analysis. The SAP includes templates of tables, listings, and figures to be presented in the statistical report as well as definitions of all the populations to be analyzed (e.g., intention-to-treat, as-randomized, per-protocol). A unique SAP is designed for every study at HCRI.

·	Statistical Reports

Statistical reports will be prepared based on the approved SAP. The statistical report includes tables, listings and graphs, as referenced in the study parameters above, generated using SAS and output using the ODS feature in SAS. A brief description of the study, statistical methods used in the analysis, results of the study and conclusions are also included. The report will also contain the event narratives, safety information, and a medical conclusion.

The tables and graphs are validated using double programming and 100% QC of all the statistics displayed. The listings are validated by checking 10% of the data displayed in the listings. The statistical report undergoes internal review at HCRI prior to being released.

HCRI has budgeted for 1 interim report, 1 primary endpoint report at 12 Months, and 1 annual report.

Clinical Events Committee (CEC) Services

HCRI has established a standing Clinical Events Committee under the guidance of the Executive Director of Clinical Investigations, Donald Cutlip, MD. The CEC will be responsible for adjudicating complications reported during the study that are related to the study endpoints.

This committee is comprised of 3-5 physicians with experience in clinical trial event adjudication, including at least one physician with expertise in each area of the study, who are not participants in the study and who meet regularly throughout the study to adjudicate events in an ongoing fashion. CEC members are chosen based on their clinical expertise and have no association with any trial for which they adjudicate events. The CEC is blinded to treatment assignment during all deliberations. Three voting members comprise a quorum.

The CEC drafts and agrees upon its working charter for each study prior to performing any work. This includes explicit rules outlining the minimum amount of data required, and the algorithm followed in order to classify a clinical event. HCRI will prepare the CEC Manual of Operations (MOP) based on this information and the CEC MOP will serve as the guideline for adjudication for the specific trial under review.

Clinical events related to the primary and secondary endpoints are identified through the use of pre-specified edit checks which identify potential endpoint related events. After review of the identified events by HCRI, support documentation for identified events is obtained from the site, if necessary, and a summary is written to describe the significant details of the event. These summaries, with appropriate support documentation, are presented to the physician members of the CEC. The results of the adjudications are entered into the Complications database as well as on an Adjudication eCRF within the Inform database after the CEC meeting. The Complications database is specifically created within the overall study database and is used in the preparation of DMC reports, as well as in all analyses of endpoint results.

CEC meetings are held approximately 3 times per month at HCRI’s offices in Boston, MA. As documentation of the CEC meeting and each event under review, HCRI provides to InspireMD relevant supporting documentation and/or meeting minutes. The format of the information will vary depending on whether or not HCRI is involved with event narration.

Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) Services & Reporting

HCRI will manage Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) services for this study. A DMC charter will be generated by HCRI, for approval by the DMC. DMC members will be identified (either by InspireMD or InspireMD and HCRI), and HCRI will negotiate and execute confidentiality and consulting agreements with the members.

The PM will provide oversight for all DMC-related activities including:

Holding meetings with the HCRI Project Team as well as with relevant Sponsor representatives prior to initiating contact with the DMC.

Assuring that all members who accept the DMC invite are vetted through the HCRI Conflict of Interest process.

Inviting potential DMC Members to participate on the DMC.

Holding an initial kick-off meeting/teleconference with DMC Members to review the DMC Charter.

Scheduling and facilitating the DMC Meetings/Teleconferences that occur at a mutually acceptable time for the DMC Members and the InspireMD.

Distributing DMC Reports to the DMC Members for review and distributing feedback to InspireMD.

Addressing any post-DMC Meeting/Teleconference questions or correspondence with regard to questions on the DMC Report or data integrity.

Prior to initiating contact with the DMC, the PM will schedule a teleconference with the relevant Sponsor representatives in order to discuss the process utilized by HCRI for DMC Management. Topics should include:

Reviewing the overall HCRI DMC process.

Describing the DMC Charter generation and review process.

Identifying any potential concerns in advance of the first DMC meeting.

Reviewing the process of inviting potential DMC Members.

Participating in Open and Closed Session of DMC Meetings/Teleconferences.

Recording DMC Meeting/Teleconference minutes.

Ensuring that the DMC Meeting/Teleconference minutes are distributed and communication occurs between the DMC and InspireMD per the DMC Charter.

Distributing the DMC Report to the DMC Members within the timeframe specified in the DMC Charter.

·	DMC Charter

A study-specific DMC Charter will be created to guide the DMC. A Medical Writer drafts the DMC Charter upon reviewing the protocol and receiving specific guidance from InspireMD with respect to such issues as membership and number of meetings. Following internal review by HCRI team members, the draft is reviewed by InspireMD before being sent to the DMC via the Chair so that the DMC can review and provide feedback.

·	DMC Reports

The DMC reports are usually generated from live data, which has not completed the “cleaning” process. HCRI will provide a dataset to a statistician who is not a member of the Project Team for analysis. This independent statistician will generate the unblinded tables and listings. The DMC report will undergo independent medical review by an HCRI physician and statistical review by an independent statistician before being distributed to the DMC. The HCRI Project Team and InspireMD will remain blinded to the interim analysis results.

This Agreement budgets for 3 DMC Reports and 4 DMC Meetings. Additional meetings or reports will result in additional costs.

Clinical Site Management and Monitoring (US ONLY)

HCRI will have managerial oversight of the study from study start-up through close-out as described below.

This study will be staffed with an experienced in-house team and with regionally-based contract monitors with an expertise in monitoring medical device studies. Each contract monitor assigned to the study will go through an interview process to ensure that they have the necessary background and experience to meet the needs of the study. InspireMD may also be involved in the interview process, if requested. All monitors assigned to the study will have extensive experience in training sites and conducting site visits in accordance with FDA Regulations and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH )guidelines.

·	Investigator Selection

HCRI will collaborate with InspireMD to identify a list of potential Investigators with proven experience at successfully enrolling patients and providing quality data. As soon as InspireMD approves the first list of Clinical Sites and Investigators, HCRI will begin contacting those Clinical Sites to assess their interest and capabilities to conduct the study. HCRI will develop a site selection questionnaire that will focus on the following areas:

Key IRB timelines

Budget requirements

Once the site selection questionnaire has been returned to HCRI, it will be reviewed in collaboration with InspireMD. After a final list of Clinical Sites has been agreed upon and approved by InspireMD, a Confidential Disclosure Agreement (CDA) will be forwarded to each Clinical Site for signatures so the study start-up process can begin.

·	Informed Consent

HCRI can assist InspireMD as needed with drafting a template informed consent in English to be used by each Clinical Site for submission to its Institutional Review Board (IRB). The informed consent will meet the ICH Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice as published in the Federal Register May 9, 1997. HCRI will review each Clinical Site’s informed consent template to ensure it meets regulatory standards prior to IRB submission.

·	Study Start-Up and Clinical Site Qualifications

Per Sponsor request, a combination QSA/Initiation visit will be conducted if HCRI or InspireMD has previously qualified the Clinical Site for the same indication.

Clinical Sites selected will receive a complete regulatory document packet customized for the study to assist with IRB submissions. HCRI will collect and review all regulatory documents for accuracy, completeness, and regulatory compliance. Once each Clinical Site has all its regulatory documents in order, an Investigator Study Binder will be provided to each Clinical Site to store all study related documents as well as house instructional manuals and study tools.

Once a Clinical Site has been approved to commence enrollment, a combination Qualification/Initiation Visit will be conducted. This visit will ensure that the study staff understands all aspects of the study, including protocol and CRF review, review of regulatory requirements, specific study procedures, the informed consent process, and device accountability. This visit will be conducted once each site has received IRB approval and has executed a clinical study agreement with InspireMD, and once all study supplies, including study device, have been received by the site. An Initiation Visit report will be submitted to InspireMD.

·	Clinical Site Study Aids

HCRI will work with InspireMD to develop any study aids for the Clinical sites. These include such aids as inclusion and exclusion cards, source document worksheets, and protocol flip cards.

·	Clinical Site and Study Metrics

Study metrics will be provided to InspireMD on an agreed upon schedule. The metrics will include an overview of Clinical Site status, enrollment by site, a monitoring visit schedule and completed visits. HCRI will work with InspireMD at the start of the study to determine the preferred metrics and timeframes for providing these metrics.

·	Interim Monitoring Visits

Interim monitoring visits will be conducted at each Clinical Site at a regular frequency according to the study needs during enrollment and follow-up. Each visit can last anywhere from 6-8 hours and will be dependent upon the Clinical Site’s patient enrollment rates and the complexity of the source document verification. Between monitoring visits, the Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) will contact Clinical Sites to assess enrollment activity, answer study related questions, resolve queries and assist with any other issues regarding study conduct. This contact will occur every one to two weeks. If additional onsite interim monitoring visits are needed, InspireMD will be consulted for approval. Interim Site Visit Reports will be submitted to InspireMD following each visit.

At the Interim Monitoring Visits the CRA will:

Assess enrollment and continuing protocol adherence;

Review all relevant source documents, in accordance with the Monitoring Plan;

Report any previously unreported SAEs to HCRI and InspireMD;

Investigate and resolve any outstanding queries;

Ensure that the investigational product is accounted for and that records are accurate;

Conduct a continuing review of the Investigator study file for regulatory adherence and to ensure that GCP/ICH guidelines are being followed, and

Perform 100% source documentation of the data entered, unless otherwise specified by InspireMD.

·	Close-Out Monitoring Visits

A Closeout Monitoring Visit will be performed at each Clinical Site at the end of the study to ensure regulatory compliance with regard to record retention, proper disposition and accountability of the study device, and, most importantly, that the site is audit-ready. A Close-Out Visit report will be submitted to InspireMD.

·	Clinical Site Contracts & Clinical Site Payments

HCRI will negotiate Clinical Site contracts and budgets on behalf of InspireMD. HCRI will also administer grant payments to the Clinical Sites to include IRB fees, startup fees, and per-patient stipends for US Clinical Sites and at the request of InspireMD may do payments for the OUS vendor, subject to an agreed upon CCO. Site budget estimates have been included in this Agreement.

·	Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS)

HCRI has an in-house Clinical Trial Management System to manage and monitor Clinical Site information and status, Clinical Site documentation, subject screening and enrollment and Clinical Site monitoring. Internal HCRI employees will utilize the system for tracking study related activities. Contracted Clinical Site monitors will utilize the system to document all Clinical Site visits and submit site visit reports.

·	OUS Site Management and Monitoring

InspireMD will subcontract site management and monitoring services for OUS Clinical Sites to a yet-to-be-determined OUS vendor.

ECG Core Laboratory Services

Incoming 12 lead ECGs will be evaluated for demographic consistency and recording quality. ECG tracings will be manually evaluated by board certified Cardiologists/Electrophysiologist. ECG tracings will be read and interpreted with the comprehensive evaluation of rhythm, conduction intervals, and morphology. ECGs will be evaluated at pre-procedure, hospital discharge, and events.

Budget Assumptions & Notes

Estimates Contained Herein:

The Estimated Budget for the Agreement is based upon the Project Parameters and Task Matrix detailed above. Should any of these Parameters or Responsibilities change, HCRI will prepare a Contract Change Order.

Timelines

InspireMD acknowledges and agrees that HCRI’s ability to meet agreed upon timelines will be critically dependent upon the actions, approvals, directions and/or information of or to be provided by InspireMD or its agents that directly or indirectly impact HCRI Services. If HCRI considers any such actions, approvals, directions and/or information or omissions of same problematic and potentially having an adverse effect on its ability to provide Services and meet established timelines, HCRI will promptly advise InspireMD of such concerns. InspireMD agrees to provide any reasonable assistance and take any related actions to address the concerns presented by HCRI with regard to InspireMD’s requests. In the event that HCRI does not receive adequate assistance to address the concerns presented as required to meet established timelines, the timelines will be revised by InspireMD, if necessary, subject to mutual agreement by HCRI. In the event that the project duration or other factors vary from those estimated for this Agreement, HCRI may renegotiate the timing and amounts of the payment schedule to reflect actual conduct of the project.

Documents and Deliverables:

All study documents and deliverables shall be delivered by HCRI in accordance with timelines established. The determination of deliverable timelines shall reflect the reporting requirements of InspireMD together with the operational requirements and capabilities of HCRI. All study deliverables will require two (2) drafts before finalization. InspireMD will submit one (1) set of consolidated comments for the review of all draft documents and deliverables.

InspireMD recognizes that any delay by InspireMD or a 3rd party relied on by InspireMD for the purpose of this Study may result in delays in HCRI deliverables and/or the overall timeline which may result in a change in scope.
