BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN - OUTLINE Command Medical Products, Inc. & KORU

The purpose of this document is to provide an outline for the specific risk management approach for sustaining/reinstating operations of KORU’s manufacturing lines located at Command Medical Products Nicaragua manufacturing facility in the event of a business interruption.  As contemplated by the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement to which this document is attached as an exhibit (MSA), a detailed final Business Continuity Plan materially consistent with this document will be established by both Command and KORU.

Command will maintain [***] months of raw materials on-hand and a [***]-month minimum of finished devices on-hand at Command’s [***] facility. KORU will maintain [***] months of finished devices at KORU’s warehouse(s). Based on the above, this strategy provides [***] months of finished devices inventory stock to draw from during a business interruption without impact to supply chain. The finished devices and raw material inventory levels in the Business Continuity Plan will be reviewed periodically and adjusted based on mutual agreement between KORU and Command; if necessary, to mitigate perceived risks.
Raw Material
	●	Subject to the requirements set forth above, raw material inventory may be maintained in two sites (US and Nicaragua) at varying levels depending on environmental conditions. Material concentration may be shifted or adjusted based on order surges, suspected risk and/or impending obsolescence as agreed to by both parties.
Finished Devices
	●	Command will maintain designated stock of finished devices products in their US [***] warehouse and all orders will be fulfilled from that facility and replenished with production units manufactured in Nicaragua.  This inventory will supplement any on -hand inventory maintained at KORU.
Second Site Manufacturing
	●	In the event of a significant business interruption in Command’s Nicaragua facility not within the reasonable control of Command that necessitates cease of manufacturing for at least [***] months, and if requested by KORU, manufacturing of KORU’s Products will promptly be transferred from Nicaragua to Command’s [***] facility to ensure supply chain is intact and KORU’s inventory is replenished.  Upon any such transfer, (i) pricing for Products shall be as set forth on Schedule I to this document in lieu of as set forth on Exhibit A to the MSA, and (ii) KORU may terminate the MSA thereafter without early termination penalty.
