(a) $2,500,000 for Glucose

(b) $500,000 for any other Non-Vital Sign Parameter. However, if a Non-Vital Sign Parameter is merely a combination of already licensed Non-Vital-Sign Parameters, such will not require this additional exercise fee.

Such payments will be made in monthly installments in accordance with and subject to Section 3.2.

4.5. Certain Exceptions. The Parties understand that the exclusivity in the licenses to MASIMO under this Article will in no way preclude LABS from conducting testing and studies in the MASIMO or LABS Market relating to the Optioned Technology and making inadvertent sales to the MASIMO market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as expressly provided herein, neither LABS nor MASIMO shall knowingly sell any Products in the other Party’s Market.

4.6. Payment on Change in Control. Upon any Change in Control of MASIMO, the option for glucose shall be automatically exercised. Upon such Change in Control, MASIMO agrees to pay LABS the license fee for glucose immediately.

4.7. Termination of Exclusivity.

4.7.1. Reasonable Efforts. Subject to Section 4.7.2, the exclusivity of Section 2.2 and 4.2 and 4.3 shall terminate, as applicable, if MASIMO is not exercising commercially reasonable efforts to develop or marketing a device incorporating the applicable Optioned Technology or Rainbow Technology on a parameter-by-parameter basis within one (1) year of the grant of any such license.

MASIMO will pay to LABS royalties in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the Rainbow Royalty Base (as defined below) for MASIMO Licensed Devices, and sensors and accessories for measuring Non-Vital-Signs Parameters in MASIMO Licensed Devices in accordance with the following.

(a) Except for the handheld products, the “Rainbow Royalty Base” will include that portion of (i) a MASIMO Licensed Device Enabled to measure a Non-Vital-Signs Parameter, and (ii) sensors and accessories for measuring Non-Vital-Signs Parameters in MASIMO Licensed Devices. In other words, if a Masimo Licensed Device, sensor or accessory is Enabled to measure more than Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameters, then the difference between that standard product (the one that measures only Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameters) and the price charged for a similar type product that can also measure the Non-Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameter/s is the amount that will be multiplied by the 10% royalty. The differential is calculated base on the ASP on a region by region and product by product basis.

(b) For handheld products, such as Rad-57, the entire price of the product is multiplied by the 10% royalty.

(c) For multiparameter devices (i.e., a device that uses more than one sensor at a time), the Royalty Base will be (i) the Net Selling Price of the device, times (ii) the number of Non-Vital-Signs Parameter that the device is Enabled to measure, divided by (iii) the total number of Parameters that the device is Enabled to measure (excluding insignificant parameters such as temperature, PI, PVI, and Pulse Rate).

(d) Hospital Contracts. MASIMO will pay a 10% royalty on the fraction of all revenue from the contract signed after January 1, 2009 for the placement of Masimo Licensed Devices (for a committed sensor contract) in relation to the fraction of Enabled rainbow devices compared Masimo Licensed Devices with only Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameters Enabled as follows:

(10%)(Total revenue invoiced under contract on running basis)(# Masimo Licensed Devices on average with Non-Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameters Enabled.

(# Masimo Licensed Devices on average with Non-Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameters enabled + # Masimo Licensed Devices on average with only Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameters enabled).

(e) Non-Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameter upgrades and sensors sold separately or in addition by Masimo shall be considered a separate revenue source for which a 10% royalty shall apply. Royalties shall not be paid up front but shall be due after payments are made under the contract, on a quarterly basis, 30 days after each quarter end.

(f) At the later of (A) 20 years from the Effective Date or (B) expiration of the last to expire of any LABS patents covering the applicable parameter, the royalty rate shall reduce by 2%.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, beginning on a Change in Control, the royalty due to LABS from MASIMO on a particular product will not be less than the following minimum amount:

$0 per completed MASIMO Licensed Device

$0 on OEM Boards

$2 per disposable sensor capable of CO and/or MET

$3 per disposable sensor that includes hemoglobin capability

$25 per reusable sensor capable of CO and/or MET

$50 per reusable sensor that includes hemoglobin capability

$10 per cable if it permits a Non-Vital Sign Parameter

$50 per Non-Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameter to OEM for each Enabled parameter, $100 to end users for each parameter when Enabled

Royalties are payable within 30 days of the close of each quarter.

5.5. Minimum Royalties. MASIMO agrees to the aggregated minimum yearly royalties specified below (whether based on actual sales or in make-up payments by MASIMO) for the license to Rainbow Technology and/or the license back for Masimo Technology for use in Non-Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring developed by LABS or by MASIMO. Such royalties shall begin upon the first commercial sale of any MASIMO Licensed Device. Subsequent year payments are due within thirty (30) days after the end of each year. Failure to pay the minimum royalties by January 1, 2015 shall be a breach of this Agreement, subject to the notice and cure provisions herein, and if such cure is not provided, shall thereafter automatically convert MASIMO’s license to a non-exclusive license as the exclusive remedy. After January 1, 2015, failure by MASIMO to pay minimum royalties shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. The minimum royalties shall be an advance on that year’s running royalty obligations, but

shall not carry forward from year to year. While the CEO of Labs and Masimo are the same, the Minimum Royalties are payable to Labs as needed by Labs, with any amounts not paid in a given year carried forward. Minimum royalties are eliminated after the license becomes non-exclusive by the terms of this Agreement.


2007	2008	2009	2010 and beyond
$3.15 M	$3.5 M	$4 M	$5M

5.6. Notwithstanding Section 5.5, on a Change in Control of MASIMO, the acquiring entity shall pay the minimum royalties in accordance with the tables below instead of the table in Section 5.5 (with no maximum ceiling for aggregated Non-Vital-Signs Parameters). Minimum royalties are eliminated after the license becomes non-exclusive by the terms of this Agreement.

Aggregated Minimum Royalty for CO, Met, Fractional O2, Hb and/or Glucose


2007	2008	2009	2010 and beyond
$5 M	$7 M	$10 M	$15M

Additional Minimum Royalty Per Rainbow Parameter beyond CO, Met, Fractional O2, Hb and Glucose


Year 1*	Year 2	Year 3	Year 4	Year 5 & Beyond
$75,000	$250,000	$500,000	$1 M	$2M

*	Year 1 refers to the first year of commercial release of such parameter.

5.7. Royalties on Other Markets. LABS will pay to MASIMO a royalty of 10% on each product that includes Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring that is sold outside of both the LABS Market and the MASIMO Market, unless MASIMO licenses a third party the right to market outside of both the MASIMO Market and LABS Market, at which time the royalty is reduced to 3%. Similarly, MASIMO will pay LABS a royalty of 10% on each product that includes Non-Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring that is sold outside of both the LABS Market and the

MASIMO Market, unless LABS licenses a third party the right to market outside of both the MASIMO Market and LABS Market, at which time the royalty is reduced to 3%.

5.8. Quarterly Accounting. Each Party shall provide the other Party with a quarterly accounting of total Product shipments upon which a royalty is payable to the other Party, along with an accounting of the Net Selling Price for such products, if applicable.

5.9. Audit Rights. Each Party shall have the right to verify, at the requesting Party’s expense, and not more frequently than once per year and upon not less than ten (10) business days prior written notice to the other Party, the accuracy of the accounting reports provided by the other Party hereunder, through inspection of the other Party’s pertinent records and books of accounts maintained in the ordinary course of business. Such audit shall be conducted by a certified public accountant (the “CPA”) chosen by the requesting Party in its reasonable discretion, and which CPA is reasonably acceptable to the Party being audited. The requesting Party shall pay all costs, expenses and fees of the CPA unless the audited Party has understated royalties or other payments owing to the requesting Party by more than five percent (5%) during the period audited, in which event the CPA’s costs, fees and expenses shall be paid by the audited Party.

8. COMPATIBILITY

8.1. MASIMO Probes. LABS agrees that it will not modify Masimo’s SpO₂ Sensors to be used with other than the MASIMO Boards, other boards designed by MASIMO for Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring or boards made by Labs under the licenses herein. LABS will purchase Sensors for Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring applications exclusively from MASIMO unless the measurements for Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring applications and Non-Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring are best integrated in one sensor, as determined by LABS in its sole discretion. In such case, LABS may design, develop and manufacture (including manufacturing according to any MASIMO design) integrated sensors and pay MASIMO a royalty of ten percent (10%) of LABS’ Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring Portion of the Net Selling Price of integrated sensors; provided, however, that LABS undertakes all regulatory, service and warranty obligations with respect to such sensors and that such sensors pass MASIMO’s validation and verification process such that the full capability of MASIMO SET is obtained. LABS will pay for such validation and verification services at MASIMO’s standard rates then in effect for third party OEM products. MASIMO SET will be enabled for these SpO₂ Sensors or other sensors which include MASIMO Technology for Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring. The Xxxxx Xxxxx Monitoring Portion is the average selling price for the similar product that measures only Xxxxx Xxxxx Parameters. The differential is calculated base on the ASP on a region by region and product by product basis.

8.2. Engineering Support. During the period that MASIMO is funding LABS’ research and development, or there has been no Change of Control, MASIMO shall provide reasonable engineering support to LABS for the integration of MASIMO SET into LABS Licensed Devices and Stand Alone Licensed Devices and for the manufacturing of any Masimo Products as permitted under this Agreement, by assisting Labs with engineering and technical resources, sharing lab equipment, providing prototyping parts and components, legal and financial services, delivering a copy of all MASIMO Software for MASIMO Technology and sufficient information and documentation (such as circuit diagrams, source code and specifications) to permit LABS to reasonably make, use and modify such MASIMO Software and to reasonably make, use and modify the MASIMO Technology. After a Change in Control, MASIMO shall continue to deliver, as reasonably requested by LABS, sufficient information and documentation to permit LABS to reasonably use MASIMO Technology in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. After a Change of Control, if Labs asks MASIMO for more than what MASIMO believes in its sole discretion is reasonable engineering assistance, MASIMO may charge LABS for those services at its actual costs for such support. To the extent necessary, engineering support will apply in reverse with respect to any LABS Technology licensed to MASIMO on a pari passu basis.

9. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

9.1. Inspection/QA. Each Supplying Party shall provide and maintain an inspection procedure and quality assurance program for its Products and its production processes.

16. DISPUTE. If any dispute or difference shall arise between the Parties concerning the construction of this Agreement or the rights or obligations of either Party, the Parties shall strive to settle the same amicably. If LABS and MASIMO have the same CEO, and the common CEO determines that a conflict exists that he cannot resolve due to the diverging interests of Labs and Masimo, the common CEO at his option, will either 1) appoint an independent board member (if one exists) to represent each Party to discuss and negotiate resolutions to conflicts arising under this Agreement, with the CEO, or 2) the common CEO will resolve the issue to his best capability to balance the needs of both Masimo and Labs and seek Board approval of both Masimo and Labs for his decision. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement or amicably settle the dispute or difference within ninety (90) days after such dispute or difference has arisen, such dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration, applying the AAA rules. The prevailing Party will be entitled to recover, in addition to any other award of the arbitrators, its attorney’s fees and costs associated with the arbitration.

17. ESCROW

17.1. Escrow Deposit. When LABS and MASIMO no longer have the same CEO, either Party may request that each of MASIMO and LABS place in escrow with an independent third party copies of the LABS Technology and MASIMO Technology, respectively, pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement on commercially reasonable and standard terms. Such escrow agreement will be negotiated and agreed to by the Parties at such time as either party makes a written request upon the other. Each Party will pay its own fees and costs to establish the escrow, except that the Party requesting the escrow shall pay all costs of the escrow agent during the term of the escrow, notwithstanding the fact that both Parties will have technology placed in the escrow and both Parties will have rights to technology under the escrow. The escrow will include drawings and all necessary information available to each such Party for use of the technology pursuant to the License in Section 17.2. Each Party shall update its deposit in accordance with the escrow agreement.

17.2. License upon Release. In the event that a Party is in breach of an obligation under this Agreement that inhibits the other Party’s ability to make, use, offer for sell or sell products licensed under this agreement, and such breach is not cured within the time period provided herein, the nonbreaching Party is granted by the

breaching Party a revocable, license to use, maintain, develop and improve the technology in escrow for the intended purposes of this Agreement, provided that, the other Party shall have no right to access, maintain, develop or possess the deposited technology except in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement; and provided further, that all royalties and other obligations due under this Agreement shall not be reduced, waived or eliminated in any way during the time period that such license remains in effect. The license under this paragraph shall only apply during the continuation of the breach, and not after it has been cured, except that where significant investment of funds was made by the licensed Party, the period of license shall run until the investing party has recovered the amount invested, or the breaching party reimburses the licensed Party for its out of pocket costs associated with establishing its own manufacturing due to the failure to supply.

17.3. Intentions of Escrow. As a matter of clarity, the purpose of the escrow is only to reduce the risk of unavailability of necessary information to allow a licensed Party to continue to achieve the purposes anticipated by this Agreement by having the temporary license to such information in situations where there has been an uncured breach of this Agreement, and not alter existing economic or other obligations under this Agreement, or allow or provide for any permanent transfer of any rights or assets from one Party to the other as a result of a release of information from the escrow contemplated in this Article 17.

18. MISCELLANEOUS

18.1. Nonassignability. Neither MASIMO nor LABS may assign this Agreement except in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or business of such Party to which this Agreement relates. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and bind each Party’s successors and assigns.

18.2. Failure to Enforce. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time or for any period of time the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or of the right of such Party to enforce each and every such provision.
