As you start the process, Seattle Sperm Bank is here to support you every step of the way. Our role is to provide the guidance and expertise you need to find the best donor for you. This catalog provides an overview of the process highlighting the support and service that we provide to you along the way. Our goal is to get to know you so that we can help guide you to your donor of choice. We encourage you to contact us for a more in-depth consultation or to visit our website at www.seattlespermbank.com. 3 ABOUT SEATTLE SPERM BANK: Guiding. Facilitating. Reassuring. The goal of our team is to help you achieve your dreams of conception, pregnancy and motherhood. Our focus is about combining a personal, compassionate approach with uncompromising medical expertise and the very best in donor selection. We are one of the nation’s leading sperm banks. Our partners are the country’s most well-regarded fertility clinics – professionals who provide couples and individuals like you quality guidance and support. They think like we do – that you need to make important decisions when choosing a donor. Our role is to be there for you and help you make those decisions. With worldwide distribution, we take our donors through rigorous screening procedures that meet or exceed those standards outlined by FDA and state regulations for sperm banks as well as any additional applicable requirements for our international clients. We are honored that you are considering us to be a partner in this big decision. We encourage you to call or visit us online today to set up a phone or in-person consultation to discuss your choices. Sincerely, Greg Moga, Managing Director 4 OUR DEDICATION TO QUALITY The first steps: set high standards, then keep them. Finding the right donor and acquiring a quality donor sperm sample are the two most important parts in this journey as they are both keys in your successful insemination. Our top priority is to provide the donor sperm that is most ideal for you. We stand behind our products with pride and confidence. To ensure that our clients and the chosen fertility clinic have the best possible donor sperm, we guarantee that every IUI vial contains at least 10 Million motile cells in a 0.5 ml volume and that every ICI vial contains at least 15 Million motile cells in a 1.0 ml volume. Both measurements have been proven as favorable numbers of sperm used to attain pregnancy. ICI vials often have more motile cells per vial since clinics will often wash the sample themselves. The extra motile cells provide a margin for clinics since a portion of the cells are lost during processing.

My doctor’s office was greatly impressed by the numbers in the sperm sample that you had sent to us. I have to say I was too!! You guys have been so great. We think you are just awesome to work with!!! We are so thankful for all of your help. – Sally R., Washington 5 OUR APPROACH People matter. Each one of us is important. The approach that built Seattle Sperm Bank into a reliable, go-to resource for our clients is to always put the individual first, whether it is our staff, our donors or our clients. The fertility clinics we work with share this view. As professionals, it is especially important to be there for you, providing support, guidance and advice. We approach each client’s journey as an opportunity to create positive impact in your and your family’s life. Having had the opportunity to serve thousands of clients over the years, we have come to believe that a simple, straightforward process often results in a successful choice for our clients. 1 PERSONAL CONSULTATION Once you and your family have consulted your physician and made the decision to move forward with finding a donor, we are here to support and guide you. We value the opportunity to start with a personal consultation. It helps you get to know us, and it allows us to get to know you and learn about what the best donor might look like for you. (This step is voluntary and not required.) 6 2 IDENTIFY & CHOOSE THE RIGHT DONOR 3 The biggest responsibility for us, along with providing the highest quality product, is to help guide you through the process of choosing a donor. We work closely with you to consult you on detailspecific search functions and on identifying what donor characteristics are the most important to you. This will help you narrow your options and feel good and confident about your choice. PLACE YOUR ORDER Once a donor is chosen, we will guide you through the process of placing an order, including vial type, quantities, shipping and storage options along with the necessary paperwork. An order can be placed in person, over the phone or on our website at seattlespermbank.com. 4 CLIENT FOLLOW-UP At the end of your journey, the goal is to bring a new life to the world and nothing makes our jobs more rewarding than seeing the ‘results’ of our efforts. We recommend a follow-up meeting to discuss and record your pregnancy/birth. It is not just a great reward for us, but it also helps other families by allowing us to compile the most up-to-date and accurate records. There isn’t much data collected on births from sperm donors, which makes the sperm bank the most logical party to gather and track this information. Please assist us in our efforts to keep a definitive record of pregnancies and births. Any information you provide is kept strictly confidential. FINDING THE BEST DONOR Above all, you and your donor need to match. Finding the right donor can take time. No one should ever feel rushed or that they are missing details. We offer extensive information on each of our donors. We strongly suggest a thorough review of a donor’s Extended Profile before making your final decision. We have made it easy to get a comprehensive view of each available donor. SSB offers a $50 All-Access Donor Subscription that includes unlimited online access to detailed information for each donor. • Free Photo Matching • Extended Donor Profile • Childhood Photo • Audio Interview • Staff Impressions • Keirsey Temperament Sorter Result • Hand-Written Donor Note • Medical History To view our available donors, begin by entering a couple of your preferred donor characteristics such as ethnicity, eye color, height, blood group, etc. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call or email us at any time. Through the entire process, working with you all has been smooth, delightful and educational.Choosing from the list of donors was the most difficult part (as I am sure is the case for most)! The information offered throughout the membership is extensive and most appreciated. The prices are competitive and reasonable. The customer service is outstanding! We appreciated the staff's prompt responses via email, their knowledge of the product, policies and procedures of the market. I do not recommend any other facility to others and will continue to do so! We are more excited than words can describe and are so thankful for the time and efforts the staff puts forth daily to help create families. Thank you! – Maria C., Mason, Ohio 7 OPEN ID DONORS, A CHOICE FOR ALL FUTURES WHAT IS AN OPEN ID DONOR? This term means that a donor has agreed to at least one form of contact with any donation-born offspring once the child turns 18. In America, this is the fastest growing trend among sperm banks due to the transparency and comfort it provides. Seattle Sperm Bank was the first in the U.S. to specialize in providing this option to donor-conceived children. We feel that it’s an important option for our clients and their families, and our catalog consists mostly of donors listed as such. WHY WE FOCUS ON OPEN ID DONORS. Why is it important to us? As children conceived from anonymous donors grow into adulthood, many lament the fact that policies of anonymity cut them off from half of their genetic inheritance. They may hunger to know more about their donor’s story from family traits, to life histories, even whether he or she was musically inclined. Such a sense of belonging is taken for granted by most of us, but for these kids it can be sorely missed. Open identity sperm donation is intended to address this basic human desire, and that is why Seattle Sperm Bank specializes in Open ID donors. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOUR CHILD? When a donor child reaches 18 years old, he or she may request to initiate contact with the donor through our bank. We will make the connection and arrange a mutually agreed-upon method of contact. It could be a meeting, a phone call or simply an exchange of information. It will be a communication between two adults who will be able to decide how they best want to move forward. The child must initiate the contact, as patient and child identities are confidential and are never released to the sperm donors. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOUR DONOR? All donors are required to go through a maturity evaluation by the sperm bank’s managing director and donor coordinator. This is to ensure they understand the parameters and responsibilities associated with their decision of becoming an Open Identity Donor. Once the paperwork is submitted to Seattle Sperm Bank, an Open ID donor cannot switch to become an anonymous donor. Sperm donors have no legal rights, responsibilities or obligations to any children born through the use of their semen. There is no requirement that the donor commit to a long-term relationship with the child, although he and the child may arrange to have further communication. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU? While prospective parents don’t get to meet their selected sperm donor, there is a lot to learn about donors through profile information. At Seattle Sperm Bank, we have found that the Open Identity Donors are usually willing to provide more detailed content such as baby photos and extended essays to us. Many potential parents find security in knowing their child will be able to have some contact with their donor. However, even as an Open Identity Donor, there is no guarantee that the donor will have the same wishes as the parent and child beyond an initial contact. For more information/questions, please let us know and we will guide you through the process that our Open ID Donors experience. 8 DONOR QUALIFICATION We built our reputation on donor qualification. In addition to our Open ID donor policy, we use industry-leading donor screening and extensive testing procedures to evaluate each donor to ensure that the donor sperm that we offer clients and fertility clinics is of the highest possible quality. We adhere strictly to FDA regulations of sperm banks as well as several international health authorities’ screening guidelines. 1000 In every , of our applicants, only qualify for donation. 9 0.9% QUALIFY. Initially our donors are selected by our in-house staff based on a number of specific parameters: For donors with Ashkenazi Jewish Ancestry indicated, the below genetic screens are also performed: • Sperm Quality •Age •Personality •Education • Criminal Background Check • 4-Generation Family Health History • • • • • • • Further screening includes blood and urine analysis: • Chemistry Panel • Hemoglobin Fractionation • Complete Blood Count •Urinalysis • ABO-Rh Blood typing •HIV • HTLV I/II • Hepatitis B Surface Antigen • Hepatitis B Core Antibody • Hepatitis C Viral Antibody • Syphilis (RPR) • CMV IgG/IgM •Chlamydia •Gonorrhea The STANDARD genetic testing for all donors includes: • 4-generation family medical history, which is reviewed by a trained Genetic Specialist and a medical doctor • Cystic Fibrosis screening for 32-97 mutations • Chromosome analysis • Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) •Sickle Cell Disease.

All donors, regardless of when they entered our program, have been screened for Karyotyping, Cystic Fibrosis and Spinal Muscular Atrophy. 9 DONOR APPLICATION PROCESS: 1 Each donor applicant completes an initial written application. { Age and weight are common reasons for disqualification. } 2 Donor applicants visit office for first in-person screening. { Unsatisfactory semen quality is the most common reason for disqualification at this stage. } 3 Applicants have their second office visit for genetic history interview. { His medical history or that of his family are common reasons for disqualification here. } 4 Applicants undergo blood chemistry, urine, genetic and infectious disease testing. { Out-of-range lab results or positive diagnosis are common reasons for disqualification. } 5 Applicants are screened by a Licensed Genetic Counselor. { Positive carrier status for concerning genetic indicators result in applicant disqualification. } 6 Final review and approval by our Medical Director. { Applicants are disqualified in this step based on suitability concerns by licensed physician. } Once qualified and accepted into the program, donors are subjected to ONGOING SCREENING. EVERY DONATION EVERY 2 MONTHS EVERY 3 MONTHS EVERY 6 MONTHS 10 > > > > screen analysis, review of health and sexual changes test for gonorrhea and chlamydia test for infectious diseases, update assessments physical exam by licensed physician for release of quarantined vials WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CMV CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, or CMV,, is a member of the herpes virus family which includes cold sores, chicken pox and infectious mononucleosis. It is a common virus known to infect people from all populations and ages. In developed countries, 50%-85% of adults have been infected by age 40. Once a person becomes infected and passes the initial illness, the virus lies dormant in their body for the rest of their life with little risk of recurrent infection or reactivation. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine for CMV. In healthy adults and children, symptoms of an active CMV infection are usually mild and could be mistaken for a cold or the flu. The affected person should fully recover in a week or two with no lasting effects. During an active infection, the virus is shed in body fluids, which means it can be contracted through exposure to urine, saliva, blood, tears, breast milk and semen. Couples in which one partner contracts the virus will typically pass it on to the other through kissing and intimate contact which results in both partners sharing the same CMV status and mutual, natural immunity. However, it is impossible to be certain of your CMV status without obtaining a blood test. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT REGARDING PREGNANCY AND DONOR SPERM CHOICE? If a woman has never encountered CMV and has her first exposure during pregnancy, there is a 30%-40% chance of her fetus being infected as well. The majority of children who experienced a CMV infection before birth are healthy and normal, however, 10%-15% may have complications such as hearing loss, neurological abnormalities or decreased motor skills. Note that infants who are infected with CMV after birth rarely experience any long-term complications. To reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, any woman planning to use donor sperm to conceive should have her CMV status tested. WHAT TYPE OF CMV TESTING DO SPERM DONORS GO THROUGH? Donors are given an initial CMV screening to determine their CMV status. All donors with an active infection are barred from donating until the donor tests IgM negative. Any potentially affected vials are discarded. Donors are tested every 3-6 months for their CMV status. For more in-depth information on CMV, please consult your physician and refer to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/cmv/index. html) for more information. 11 THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF INSEMINATION There are several options when it comes to insemination. It is best to consult with your healthcare professional about which method is most appropriate for your circumstances. Your medical provider can provide guidance on the type and quantity of vials recommended for the procedure you will be undergoing. CLINIC INSEMINATIONS The procedures used for intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intracervical insemination (ICI) are somewhat similar. Inseminations must be precisely timed based on a woman’s natural cycle or in conjunction with fertility medications intended to induce ovulation. The woman is normally positioned on an examination table as if in preparation for a pelvic exam. A speculum is placed in the vagina so the cervix is visible. A sperm sample is then inserted through the cervical opening using an insemination catheter attached to a syringe. For an ICI procedure, the sample is injected into the cervix. For an IUI procedure, the sample is injected directly into the uterus. Of the two procedures, IUI is commonly believed to have a slightly better success rate than ICI. HOME INSEMINATION Artificial insemination can be done at home and performed on oneself or by their partner with either vial type. Home inseminations involve the use of either a syringe or a cervical cap to place the sperm as close to the cervix as possible at the correct time in the woman’s cycle. For women who are free of fertility issues, home insemination can save on cost due to the absence of medical office fees, although a licensed practitioner must agree to sign the required release paperwork. Despite pregnancy rates not being as high with this method, many women choose to make this a starting point in their fertility journey and do find success. IN VITRO FERTILIZATION In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which fertilization is performed outside of the body. IVF may involve any combination of your own eggs and sperm or those from a donor. After egg and sperm cells have been harvested from the patient or obtained from a donor source, they are brought together in a laboratory environment under optimal conditions to allow the sperm to fertilize the eggs. About 2 to 5 days after fertilization, one or more of the best embryos are inserted into the uterus with a catheter. The remaining embryos may be cryopreserved for future use. For any ART/IVF procedures, ART-ICI samples can be purchased from SSB, but as with our premium ICI vials, they must first be “washed” by your fertility professional. Due to the extensive preparation and delicate nature of an IVF cycle, fertility clinics will frequently require you to provide two samples – one for immediate use and an extra one for backup. 12 SPECIMEN TYPES Seattle Sperm Bank offers different vial types for different applications and fertilization techniques. • IUI: Specimens prepared for Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) • ICI: Specimens prepared for Intracervical Insemination (ICI) • ART: Both ICI and IUI preparations, specially designed for use in Assisted Reproductive Technologies such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION Semen that has been prepared for Intrauterine Insemination is known as an IUI specimen. These vials are sold in a .5ml volume and when properly stored and thawed, are guaranteed to contain at least 10 million motile cells. They are also referred to as “washed” samples because the processing they are put through separates the live sperm from the seminal fluid. That fluid is then replaced with a cryopreservant before the sample is frozen. This type of specimen is required for IUI procedures because the dead sperm, white blood cells and prostaglandins found in unwashed semen not only interfere with the fertilization process, they can cause cramping and pain when inserted directly into the uterus. INTRACERVICAL INSEMINATION Semen that has been prepared for Intracervical Insemination is known as an ICI specimen. These vials are sold in a 1.0ml volume. When properly stored and thawed, they are guaranteed to contain at least 15 million motile cells. These vials can also be referred to as “unwashed” because they are not processed. These samples retain all of the naturally occurring seminal fluid and cells. There will be plenty of motile sperm but dead sperm are also still present. The cervix and cervical fluid will only allow the highly motile sperm cells to make it into the uterus and fallopian tubes, just as it happens through intercourse. Due to the nature of raw semen, these samples are suitable for intracervical and at-home inseminations only, unless they are washed by your fertility specialist. ART In addition to our core vial options, Seattle Sperm Bank also offers what are known as ART samples per special request. Available in both IUI and ICI preparations, these vials are priced at a significant discount because they contain fewer total motile cells than our guaranteed premium vials. IUI ART vials contain 4-9 million motile sperm in a .5ml volume and ICI ART vials contain 5-14 million motile sperm in a 1.0ml volume. These numbers are more than sufficient for use in Assisted Reproductive Technology procedures such as IVF, ICSI, GIFT & ZIFT. In other circumstances, ART vials can be used successfully on their own or combined in multiples for standard insemination techniques. Please speak with your physician to determine the right product for you. We will then work with you to match the product and requested donor for a final product sample. 13 DONOR SEARCH It's time to find the match. Selecting a donor is a big decision and one that our clients may find to be difficult from time to time. There is no one-size-fits-all donor choice, but instead one that you will make based on what works best for you based on the criteria that you and your family have prioritized. We are here to work with you in selecting the specifics that are important to you, and we will guide you through the selection process to make sure that you feel confident in your decision. DONOR LIBRARY For you to have an opportunity to find the perfect donor for you, we are committed to having the best donor options available to you at all times. Our donors are more than just a number to us, and we dedicate the time we need to get to know each donor on a personal level which also allows us to provide insightful staff evaluations and in-depth materials to better help you choose the right donor for your family. To make selecting your donor easy and affordable, we developed an online library that grants you unlimited info on every donor in our current catalog. You can peruse basic information on each donor, or choose to purchase an All-Access Donor Subscription that allows for extended profiles, downloads of all baby photos, audio interviews, Keirsey Personality evaluations and hand written messages. The cost for our All-Access Donor Subscription is $50 and can be accessed on our website at seattlespermbank.com. We have loved working with SSB. The staff has been universally helpful, engaging, smart, caring, genuine and truly, in our minds, continues to reaffirm our decision to work alongside Seattle Sperm Bank in our most cherished and significant adventure yet. We are currently expecting and couldn’t be more thrilled to embrace all the wonder and challenges to come. - Michelle B.; Monroe, WA 14 DONORS DONOR LIST This section is your opportunity to review available donors, their basic information, background and history.

Purchasing enough vials for your needs up front ensures access to your chosen donor when you are ready, and our buy-back program allows you to exchange or return unused vials if needed. VIAL EXCHANGE There are occasions when a client chooses to exchange a vial, most commonly because another donor has become available. In these situations, there is no cost to you for exchanging comparable vials as we want to make sure you are 100% confident in your donor selection. BUY-BACK As part of our ongoing commitment to you as a client, our buy-back option was implemented to offer the option to return a purchase vial for 75% of the original purchase price. Please note: In an effort to ensure the quality of the product that we offer our clients, all vials must have been purchased and stored at Seattle Sperm Bank in order to be eligible for the buy-back program (or the vial exchange). Samples that have left our facility are no longer eligible for the exchange or buy-back feature. For additional information on the vial exchange program, please contact us at [email protected] or 1.800.709.1223. PURCHASE, SHIPPING AND STORAGE Once you have found your donor of choice, you can either purchase vials on the Website or call us at 1.800.709.1223. Prior to shipping the vials, the necessary agreements and releases need to be completed. Our Recipient Semen and Storage Agreement outlines the terms you and Seattle Sperm Bank agree to in purchasing, storing and/or using donor semen. Every client is asked to complete this form and return it to us before vials are received. The Clinic Release form provides prior written authorization from the licensed health care professional you are working with. This document applies to purchases from clients who request to have vials delivered to any location in New York State or a location that is not a clinic (i.e. for an at-home insemination). For New York State clients, this form can only be signed by a physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner. For at-home inseminations, it can be completed by a physician or other licensed health care personnel. Both forms may be submitted via fax or email. We offer several options for you in shipping and/or storing your vials. We ship to any worldwide destination and will work with you on where/when to send your product. SHIPPING: Two-Day Shipping with Return $150 – to WA/OR $180 – all other states In addition, we offer options for a long term plan such as when you purchase multiple vials or want to reserve ahead of time. These range from a minimum of 1 month of free storage to longer-term options. 22 Thank you for allowing us to walk you through the process. The team of professionals at Seattle Sperm Bank love hearing about happy families we help create. Our goal is to be here for you as you take this life-changing step. We offer the resources of larger clinics, but we operate on a first-name basis with our moms-to-be. So many questions are in your head already. Our team will be communicative and straightforward while we help you find the ideal match. Please talk to us if you have questions about our testing process, library of donors, our Open Identity program or any questions about your next steps. 1.800.709.1223 SeattleSpermBank.com My partner and I are still talking about how appreciative we are of the great customer service we experienced at Seattle Sperm Bank.
