                          STIPULATION BY AND BETWEEN
             OWENS & MINOR DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

             This stipulation (this “Stipulation”) is entered into between Owens & Minor Distribution,

                                                     Recitals

             A.     On June 9, 2024, Vyaire Medical, Inc. and several of its affiliates (collectively, the

“Debtors”) each filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States

Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware

(the “Bankruptcy Court”).

             B.     On December 27, 2024, O&M filed claim no. 223 (the “Claim No. 223”) against

        C.     On November 14, 2024 the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order

confirming the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Vyaire Medical, Inc.

on November 27, 2024 (the “Plan Effective Date”). See Docket No. 810.

        D.     Upon the Plan Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of the Plan and Confirmation

deadline and counsel to O&M informally responded to the Claim Objections.
