OxySure and Distributor intend to establish Distributor as a distributor of those products (the “Products”) identified in Exhibit A within the territory (the “Territory”) and channel (the “Channel”) identified in Exhibit B. Accordingly, OxySure and Distributor agree as follows:
1. | Appointment and Term |
1.1 | For the term of this Agreement, OxySure appoints Distributor as a non-exclusive distributor for the Products in the Territory and Channel. Distributor’s appointment is for an initial term of one (1) year from the Effective Date, renewable thereafter for successive one-year periods unless terminated in terms hereof. |

2. | Distributor Responsibilities |
2.1 | Both parties acknowledge that open communications and the sharing of information are important to fully develop the market, gain insight into the market’s needs and develop appropriate market strategies. It is a further desire of OxySure to facilitate an open and direct communication between the end-user customer (“Customer”) and OxySure. To this end, the parties agree to cooperate and openly communicate with each other in furtherance of these objectives, and Distributor further agrees to use its best efforts to facilitate such communication and contact between Customer and OxySure. |

Distributor will make no representations as to Product quality, performance, capabilities and the like except as OxySure expressly authorizes in writing, such as through published, product specifications. |
2.4 | Distributor agrees to avoid all activities that might place Distributor in a position of adverse interest or divided loyalty with OxySure or Distributor’s obligations as defined herein. |

Distributor will also maintain all books of accounts, documents, correspondence, records, or the like, relating to any transaction involving the Products. In the event OxySure desires to communicate regulatory or other information to Customers, or otherwise notify Customers for any reason, Distributor will use the Customer information that it maintains to send such notice or communication on behalf of OxySure in a timely manner. Further, Distributor will make such Customer information available to OxySure to the extent necessary for OxySure to comply with relevant laws, rules, regulations, and judicial or administrative orders. |
2.7 | Distributor shall furnish to OxySure copies of all proposed advertising, technical, sales, and other materials relating to the Products and refrain from and/or discontinue the use of any such materials which in the opinion of OxySure are false or misleading or may subject OxySure to liability. |
2.8 | Distributor agrees to carry out all of its obligations to OxySure promptly and in good faith. |
2.9 | Distributor shall not take any action that may result in denigrating, tarnishing or otherwise adversely affecting the reputation or goodwill of OxySure.

For credit, Distributor will submit a written credit request within one (1) month from the date of Distributor’s invoice for the related transaction.

ATTACHMENT B-1
International Terms
If the Territory includes any country other than the United States, then this Attachment B-1 will be incorporated into and made part of the Distribution Agreement between OxySure® and Distributor. All capitalized terms not defined in this Attachment have the definitions set forth in the Distribution Agreement
1. Distributor shall be responsible for translating at its expense all marketing and promotional materials provided by OxySure®, including any manuals, into the language or languages used in the Territory. Distributor shall promptly deliver to OxySure® a copy of such translation in the formats reasonably requested by OxySure®. Such translations will be deemed a “work for hire” as such term is used in United States copyright law, and OxySure® will be considered the author and owner of all rights in and to such translation. To the extent the translation is not a work for hire, Distributor hereby assigns to OxySure®, and agrees that OxySure® will have, all ownership rights in the manuals and translations created or provided by Distributor. Distributor shall provide all documentation (including written assignments) reasonably requested by OxySure® to confirm its ownership of the manuals and translations. Distributor shall make such changes to the marketing and promotional materials as are required to comply with the law of the countries, or political subdivisions in the Territory, but only with the prior approval of OxySure®. Ownership of all marketing and promotional materials remain with OxySure®.
2. OxySure® shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ship Products sold hereunder within the period and by a carrier designated in each accepted purchase order, and FOB the relevant OxySure® facility determined by OxySure®. Distributor shall be responsible for obtaining all licenses required to import Products into the Territory. OxySure® shall be responsible for obtaining all licenses required to export products from the United States. All freight, transportation, rigging, crating, packing, drayage, insurance, and handling charges, as well as any other expenses that are not specifically allocated to OxySure® in this Attachment B-1, will be paid by Distributor. Title, possession and risk of loss shall pass to Distributor upon delivery of the Products by OxySure to the designated carrier or freight forwarder.
3. OxySure® and Distributor agree that if it is required by applicable law, this Agreement shall be approved by and/or registered with the appropriate governmental authorities. The rights and obligations of OxySure® and Distributor under this Agreement are subject to any such government approval, registration or recordation, including import and export certificates (“Approvals”). Distributor is responsible and shall bear the cost for promptly obtaining and maintaining any such Approvals from requisite government agencies in the Territory for Distributor and OxySure® to advertise, market, sell, distribute, license, and support the Products in the Territory. To the extent additional Approvals are required for new or existing OxySure® Products, or to the extent countries other than those set forth in the Territory are now or hereafter included in the Territory, then Distributor shall bear the sole cost and responsibility for promptly obtaining such Approvals, including compliance with all local content requirements, effective as of the date of this Agreement, or as such requirements may subsequently be modified. All costs of compliance, and whatever actions may be required (whether legal, manufacturing, assembly or otherwise) shall be the sole financial responsibility and obligation of Distributor. To the extent any governmental approval would require OxySure® to change or modify its Products, OxySure® shall have no obligation to do so, and may at its discretion terminate this Agreement with Distributor with no further obligation hereunder, in order to avoid the threat of non-compliance with governmental regulations. Distributor agrees that it shall not submit any information to governmental authorities with respect to this Agreement without the prior written approval of OxySure®; provided however, that the foregoing shall not apply in the event that formal or informal proceedings are instituted against Distributor or in the event that a dispute between OxySure and Distributor is submitted to any tribunal having jurisdiction over such matters.
4. Distributor shall provide OxySure® with evidence of all government permits, certificates or approvals.
