3. The US Commercialization Agreement is hereby amended to add a new section 2.05 as follows:
“2.05 Hybrid Transmitter Exclusivity. Without the prior written consent of Animas, DexCom shall not, directly or indirectly, sell or provide any rights (including by means of a license) to the Hybrid Transmitter or any derivative transmitter product utilizing [*****] to any third party or its Affiliates (including any third party that may acquire all or part of DexCom’s business) that makes or sells devices in the Territory that are capable of delivering insulin continuously and subcutaneously.”

Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall limit any of DexCom’s obligations under Section 2.01(e).”
5. Sections 5.01(a) and (c) of the US Commercialization Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
“(a) Each party shall determine in its sole discretion whether the Integrated System shall be launched commercially in the Territory. If the parties disagree, they will refer the disagreement to the President of Animas and the President and CEO of DexCom for discussion. If such officers are not able to reach an agreement within [*****]of the referral to them of the disagreement, neither party will be obligated to launch the Integrated System in the Territory. If the parties agree upon the commercial launch of the Integrated System in the Territory, the Commercialization Steering Committee will be responsible for selecting the Commercial Launch Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Animas desires to launch the Integrated System in the Territory and DexCom does not, then, subject to Animas’ fulfillment of its financial responsibilities under Section 3.2 of the Joint Development Agreement, Animas may proceed with such launch, and DexCom shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to support such launch throughout the Term of this Commercialization Agreement, including by supplying Sensors and Transmitters to users of the Integrated System and otherwise fulfilling its obligations under this Commercialization Agreement.”
“(c) DexCom shall be solely responsible for the sales of the Starter Kits, Sensors and Transmitters and shall determine the pricing of the Sensors and Transmitters in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commercialization Steering Committee may establish a framework under which the Animas sales organization shall distribute the

DexCom shall determine in its sole discretion and in accordance with its normal business practices the amount of resources that it shall expend on sales activities for Integrated System (subject to the obligation to support the commercial launch of the Integrated System in accordance with Section 5.01(a)). Following the commercial launch of the Integrated System, DexCom shall make Sensors available for sale to purchasers of the Integrated System that are compatible with the Hybrid Transmitter for a period beginning on such launch and lasting [*****] (unless DexCom agrees to a longer period) following the first commercial sale of DexCom’s first Transmitter released subsequently to the Hybrid Transmitter (“Next-Gen Transmitter”); provided, that if the Next-Gen Transmitter has not been launched prior to the expiration or termination of this Commercialization Agreement, then DexCom shall make Sensors available for sale to purchasers of the Integrated System for a period of [*****] (unless DexCom agrees to a longer period) from the date of expiration or termination (such period of Sensor supply being the “Sensor Supply Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, the supply obligation set forth in the immediately prior sentence shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.”

DexCom shall also prepare and file, at Animas’ expense, all required PMA supplements modifying the Integrated System as approved at the time of termination of this Agreement solely to accommodate changes affecting the safety and efficacy of the Enabled Pump (as opposed to feature changes).”
8. Section 6.06 of the OUS Commercialization Agreement is hereby amended to add the following text at the end:
“The parties’ obligations under the Quality Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to allow each party to fulfill any post-termination customer service, warranty and regulatory obligations with respect to the Integrated System, and they shall reasonably cooperate with one another to allow each such party to fulfill such obligations, including by providing any information reasonably requested by a party.
