All costs incurred by such Party from activities relating to the creation or improvement of Developed Technology for Products on or after the Effective Date.

(b)

All costs incurred by such Party from activities relating to the creation or improvement of Developed Marketing Intangibles on or after the Effective Date.

The Parties may, throughout the term of this Agreement, review this Section 2.2(c) and if it is mutually determined that the Parties, acting at arm’s length, would not include stock- based compensation in such cost, then any amount of stock-based compensation previously included in the calculation of Development Costs shall be treated as an advance payment against future Development Costs at a date to be mutually determined by the Parties.

Section 2.3 Determination of Costs. The following principles shall apply in the determination of Development Costs:

(a)

Development Costs shall be determined in accordance with expenses recognized under US GAAP as applied by Masimo US for financial reporting purposes; provided, however, that (i) such costs shall not include any depreciation or amortization incurred or any US GAAP expense for stock-based compensation, and (ii) such costs shall include a reasonable rental charge for each item of tangible personal property used in connection with the Development Program.

(b)

Development Costs shall include direct costs of the relevant activities, and an allocable share of administrative or overhead costs. Where any indirect costs or direct costs benefit both Aggregate Allocable Development Costs and Specific Development Costs, an allocation shall be made using methods that are mutually agreed to be consistent, reasonable and in keeping with sound accounting practices.

(c)

The stock-based compensation portion of Development Costs shall be calculated in a manner consistent with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.482-7(d)(2)(iii)(B) and equal the amount allowable as a deduction for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

(d)

In the event that a Party acquires any intangible property relating to the Development Program from a Third Party by means of a purchase, license, merger, acquisition, or similar transaction, that intangible property, or any portion thereof, may be added to the Development Program and made available to the cost sharing arrangement only upon the Parties entering into a definitive agreement to include any or all of such intangible property to the Development Program.

Section 2.4 Development Costs Budget. Before or during each Fiscal Year, the Parties shall agree on a budget of Development Costs expected to be incurred pursuant to the Development Program during that Fiscal Year.

ARTICLE 3

DEVELOPMENT COST ALLOCATION

Section 3.1 Annual CSA Report. As soon as practical after each Fiscal Year End, the Parties shall each prepare necessary financial statements and forecasts, and shall jointly reconcile and consolidate such statements and forecasts into an “Annual CSA Report,” containing the information required by this Article 3.

Section 3.2 Determination of Aggregate Allocable Development Costs. The Annual CSA Report shall indicate the types and amounts of Development Costs incurred by each Party during the Fiscal Year, comprising the Aggregate Allocable Development Costs. Such Aggregate Allocable Development Costs shall be determined quarterly and paid in accordance with Sections 3.4 (Measure of Anticipated Benefits), 4.1 (Quarterly Payment Amount) and 4.3 (Timing of Payments) as well as reconciled annually in accordance with Sections 3.6 (Amendments and Compensating Adjustments) and 3.7 (Reconciliation of Prior Year Cost Shares).

Section 3.3 Financial Results and Forecasts. The Annual CSA Report shall include such financial information and forecasts as may be mutually agreed to be necessary to obtain the most reliable measure of benefits reasonably anticipated to be derived by each Party from the Developed Intangibles.

Section 3.4 Measure of Anticipated Benefits. The Parties agree to share the Aggregate Allocable Development Costs under the terms specified in this Agreement. Aggregate Allocable Development Costs of the Development Program shall be borne by each Party based upon the reasonably anticipated benefits to be derived by each Party as a result of exploitation of the Developed Intangibles derived from the Development Program. The Parties have determined that the most reliable basis for measuring reasonably anticipated benefits to be derived by them from Developed Intangibles is the Net Revenues projected to be derived by them for the then current and next two Fiscal Years. The Parties believe that the ratio of such revenue projections can be assumed to be related to income generated or costs saved by the Parties. The Parties agree to periodically adjust how Aggregate Allocable Development Costs are shared to appropriately reflect any changes in economic conditions, their business operations and practices, and the ongoing research and development efforts under this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Cost Share and Cost Share Percentage. A Party’s Cost Share Percentage shall be that Party’s reasonably anticipated benefits to be derived from exploiting the Developed Intangibles over the sum of each Party’s reasonably anticipated benefits to be derived from exploiting the Developed Intangibles, as determined under Section 3.4 (Measure of Anticipated Benefits) of this Agreement (“Cost Share Percentage”). A Party’s Cost Share for a particular Fiscal Year shall be the Aggregate Allocable Development Costs for that Fiscal Year multiplied by that Party’s Cost Share Percentage (“Cost Share”). The Annual CSA Report shall include a determination of each Party’s Cost Share Percentage and Cost Share.

Section 3.6 Amendments and Compensating Adjustments. The Parties anticipate applying and amending the calculations specified in Sections 3.2 (Determination of Aggregate Allocable Development Costs) and 3.5 (Cost Share and Cost Share Percentage) as follows:

(a) On, or at a reasonable time after, the first day of the Fiscal Year, the Parties shall calculate the current Fiscal Year amounts for each Party individually and the total for the Parties;

(b) Quarterly Payments of Aggregate Allocable Development Costs during the current Fiscal Year as specified in Section 4.1 (Quarterly Payment Amount) shall be paid by the Parties based upon the ratio calculated in Section 3.5 (Cost Share and Cost Share Percentage), utilizing the Net Revenues specified in Section 3.6(a) above;

(c) Upon completion of the current Fiscal Year and before the completion of income tax returns for the just completed Fiscal Year of either Party, the Parties may upon mutual written agreement amend the Annual CSA Report for the previous Fiscal Year to reflect the most reliable financial data and forecasts then available, and make an appropriate compensating adjustment. In the event of the application of this Section 3.6(c), the Parties shall update the calculation specified in
Section 3.6(a) as applied for the just completed Fiscal Year, utilizing actual financial results for the respective Parties that are determined in accordance with US GAAP as applied by Masimo US for financial reporting purposes; and

(d) The Parties shall continue to perform the calculation steps outlined in Sections 3.6(a) through 3.6(c) for successive Fiscal Years.

Section 3.7 Reconciliation of Prior Year Cost Shares. The Annual CSA Report shall include a reconciliation of all prior year Cost Share computations that relied on forecasts of the current and next two Fiscal Year financial results. The prior year Cost Share Percentages shall be recomputed replacing prior forecasts with most recent actual data and forecasts available for the current and next two Fiscal Year, as specified in Section 3.6(c). Potential adjustments shall be determined for all prior years, in accordance with the cumulative application of actual financial results specified in Section 3.6(c), for which either Party’s initial Cost Share Percentage differs by more than twenty percent (20%) from the recomputed percentage unless such difference is due to an extraordinary event, beyond the control of the Parties, that could not reasonably have been anticipated. Adjustments for prior years may also be determined upon mutual agreement by the Parties.

ARTICLE 4

PAYMENTS

Section 4.1 Quarterly Payment Amount. The Parties shall pay the net amount to reconcile their quarterly Development Costs incurred with their quarterly relative Cost Share Percentage as applied to the Aggregate Allocable Development Costs. Such amounts are specified in Sections 3.2 (Determination of Aggregate Allocable Development Costs) and 3.5 (Cost Share and Cost Share Percentage), respectively.

Section 4.2 Year-End Settlement Amount. The Parties shall pay the net amount to reconcile their annual Development Costs incurred with their annual relative Cost Share Percentage as applied to the Aggregate Allocable Development Costs. Such amounts are specified in Sections 3.2 (Determination of Aggregate Allocable Development, Costs) and 3.5 (Cost Share and Cost Share Percentage), respectively (the “Year-End Settlement Amount”).

When applicable, interest based upon Treasury Regulation Section 1.482-2(a) shall be applied.

If, as a result of any audit verification or certification, there is an adjustment in the amounts and allocations determined under this Article 4, settlement amounts resulting from such adjustments plus interest thereon at the U.S. LIBOR rate plus one-half percent (0.5%) shall be paid within forty-five (45) days of the next Quarterly Close Date.

(b)

Each Party shall comply with the reporting requirements, as prescribed under U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.482-7(j)(3), including but not limited to the following:

Section 4.6 Currency. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all payments contemplated hereby or made by the Parties in connection herewith shall be made in U.S. dollars. In determining Development Costs or making any calculation hereunder, any amount in currencies other than U.S. dollars shall be translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing bookkeeping rate used by Masimo US during the period in which the revenue or expense is recognized under US GAAP.

Section 4.7 Assumption of Development Risk. Each Party shall bear its Cost Share in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as provided in Section 3.4 (Measure of Anticipated Benefits) without regard to the success or failure of the Development Program or the commercial viability of the Developed Intangibles.

Section 5.3 Disclosure for Purposes of the Development Program. During the term of this Agreement, the Parties shall make available to each other all Developed Intangibles for the purpose of enabling each other to undertake and continue their respective participation in the Development Program. Developed Intangibles may be furnished in documentary or consultative form at such time and in such manner as may be mutually convenient to the Parties.

Section 5.4 No Waiver or Release. Making available Developed Intangibles under Section 5.3 (Disclosure for Purposes of the Development Program) shall not constitute any release or waiver by a Party of its rights in the Developed Intangibles.

ARTICLE 6

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Section 6.1 Definition of Confidential Information. The Parties acknowledge that, from time to time, one Party (the “Discloser”) may disclose to the other Party (the “Recipient”) information: (a) which is marked with “confidential” or a similar legend; or (b) which is described orally and designated as confidential; or (c) which would, under the circumstances, be understood by a reasonable person to be confidential; or (d) defined as confidential elsewhere in this Agreement (“Confidential Information”). Upon subsequent disclosure of previously disclosed Confidential Information to the Recipient by the Discloser, the information will remain Confidential Information even if not identified as Confidential Information at the subsequent disclosure.

Section 6.2 Confidentiality Obligations. The Recipient shall retain such Confidential Information in confidence, and shall not disclose it to any Third Party or use it for other than the purposes of this Agreement without the Discloser’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in the Discloser’s sole discretion. Each Party shall use at least the same procedures and degree of care with respect to such Confidential Information which it uses to protect its own confidential information of like importance, and in no event less than reasonable care. The Recipient will immediately give written notice to the Discloser of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Discloser’s Confidential Information, and the Recipient will assist the Discloser in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure.

Section 6.3 Compelled Disclosure. In the event that the Recipient or (to the knowledge of the Recipient) any of its representatives is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other similar processes) to disclose any of the Discloser’s Confidential Information, the Recipient shall provide the Discloser with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement sufficiently timely to allow the Discloser adequate time to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information to the extent that such information:

(a)

was generally available to the public at the time of its disclosure to the Recipient hereunder;

(b)

became generally available to the public after its disclosure other than through an act or omission of the Recipient (or one of its employees, agents or representatives) in breach of this Agreement; or

(c)

was subsequently lawfully and independently disclosed to the Recipient by a person other than the Discloser without an obligation of confidentiality.

In the event that the Recipient intends to disclose to a Third Party any of the Discloser’s Confidential Information under the exceptions (a), (b) or (c) above, the Recipient must first obtain the Discloser’s written permission to do so, which approval will be at the Discloser’s sole discretion.

Section 6.5 Third Party Contracts. Prior to the Recipient’s disclosure of any of the Discloser’s Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Recipient must require the Third Party to enter into a nondisclosure agreement (“NDA”) provided by the Discloser; the NDA will take precedence over the Third Party agreement.

Section 6.6 Ownership of Materials. The Recipient agrees that all Confidential Information received is and will remain the property of the Discloser and that such shall not be copied or reproduced without the express permission of the Discloser, except for such copies as may be reasonably necessary in order to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement. Upon written request of the Discloser, the Recipient shall immediately discontinue all use of all Confidential Information of the Discloser, other than such items of the Developed Intangibles as may specifically relate to improvements/refinements to the Developed Technology, and shall, at the Discloser’s option, either destroy or return to the Discloser all hard copies in its possession of such Confidential Information and any derivatives thereof (including all hard copies of any translation, modification, compilation, abridgement or other form in which the Confidential Information has been recast, transformed or adapted), and to delete all on-line electronic copies thereof; provided, however, that the Recipient may retain one (1) archival copy of the Confidential Information, which shall be used only in case of a dispute concerning this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be required to destroy or alter any computer-based back-up files generated in the normal course of its business, provided that such files are maintained confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full period provided for in Section 6.8 (Confidentiality Obligations Survival).

Section 6.7 Equitable Remedies. Since unauthorized use or disclosure of a Discloser’s Confidential Information will diminish the value to the Discloser of its proprietary interests in the Confidential Information, if the Recipient breaches any of its obligations under this Article 6, the Discloser shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests therein, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, as well as money damages.

Section 6.8 Confidentiality Obligations Survival. With respect to each item of Confidential Information transferred under this Agreement, the provisions of this Article 6 shall remain in effect until such time as the Recipient can demonstrate, using only legally admissible evidence, that such item of Confidential Information is publicly known or was made generally available through no action or inaction of the Recipient.

ARTICLE 7

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Section 7.1 Limitation on Damages. In no event will Masimo US have any liability for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, however caused and on any theory of liability, whether for breach of contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of or related to this agreement, including but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, loss of data, or loss of use, even if Masimo US has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Section 7.2 Disclaimer of Warranties. All Masimo US Intangibles are provided “as is” and without any warranty, express, implied or otherwise, regarding their accuracy or performance, and Masimo US expressly disclaims any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

Section 7.3 Representation and Warranty.

If Masimo Cayman incorporates any technology or other intellectual property right owned by a third party into any Developed Intangible, Masimo Cayman will identify all such third party rights and will obtain an assignment, license or written waiver and agreement from such third party as necessary for Masimo Cayman to comply with its obligations in Section 5.4 above.
