Thanks. Love ya tons, wendie.”

Surrogacy Agreement What it all boils down to: Rights and Obligations of the Parties - Following Doctor’s orders, including dietary, lifestyle and travel restriction - IPs will be parents of any resulting child(ren), Surro will cooperate The Parties’ agreement on termination of pregnancy or reduction of pregnancy Risks of the Parties Surrogate Insurance Trust Account Funding Schedule Financial Arrangement

Surrogacy Agreement Topics for Discussion and Forward Thinking Zika Marijuana Abortion/Reduction - willing to travel Language to describe defects (which could trigger an IP request to terminate/reduce) – any medical reason, including but not limited to genetic, physical, physiological or chromosomal as determined by the then-treating physician (or second opinion) [[[i.e., anything except gender or change of heart]]] Insurance review for existing maternity healthcare policies - required in CA but not everywhere - best practice – even if we THINK it was a policy that has been safe so far…. Full payment fee triggers Insurance – Life, Disability, Loss of Reproductive Organs

EGG DONATION Agreement GENERAL AGREEMENT REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES GENETIC HISTORY EVALUATION PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION PHYSICAL EVALUATION DONOR'S CONDUCT PROCEDURE MATERNITY AND PATERNITY TERMINATION OF CUSTODY AND PARENTAL RIGHTS CONFLICTING MEDICAL CONSENT FORMS DEATH OF INTENDED PARENTS CONSIDERATION HEALTH INSURANCE / OOCYTE DONOR ACCIDENT INSURANCE ASSUMPTION OF RISKS & GENERAL RELEASE MATERIAL BREACH CONFIDENTIALITY/PRIVACY RIGHTS LIMITED FUTURE CONTACT CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES ANONYMITY TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT AND/OR CANCELLATION OF CYCLE TERM LEGAL REPRESENTATION CONFLICT WAIVER TAXES NOTICE AGENCY, PARTNERSHIP, EMPLOYMENT, OR JOINT VENTURE GOVERNING LAW / JURISDICTION ATTORNEY’S FEES

EGG DONATION Agreement CONSTRUCTION COUNTERPARTS ENFORCEABILITY OF AGREEMENT SURVIVAL AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE INTEGRATION HEIRS AND ASSIGNS CONDITIONS TO PERFORMANCE FURTHER ASSURANCES

Egg Donation Agreement What it all boils down to: Rights and Obligations of the Parties - Following Doctor’s orders, including dietary, lifestyle and travel restriction - IPs are presumptive parents of any resulting child(ren) The Parties’ agreement on ownership of all eggs upon retrieval, all embryos created and disposition of any unfertilized eggs or remaining embryos Future Contact / Medical Information Risks of the Parties Financial Arrangement – Fees/Expenses Egg Donor Insurance Trust Account Funding

Egg Donation Agreement Topics for Discussion and Forward Thinking Donor Sibling Registry In-House programs – skipping contract process, telling IPs/Donors they don’t need a lawyer and that the medical consent forms are enough (wrong) Insurance – out of pocket responsibility of the IPs
