At DexCom’s option, DexCom may pay cash to Verily and Onduo in lieu of delivering any DexCom Common Stock required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.2.1, which cash payment amount shall be the applicable number of shares of DexCom Common Stock set forth in Section 8.2.1 multiplied by Milestone Date VWAP for such Milestone Event.

(b) Verily will not assign or transfer any rights in the Verily Licensed Patents in a manner that would cause a license to be granted to a Third Party pursuant to [***];
(c) none of the agreements identified in Exhibit 1.63 grant any Third Party (i) any exclusive rights with respect to any of the Verily Licensed Patents in [***], (ii) any right to Verily Know-How in [***], (iii) any right to file applications for, prosecute, maintain, enforce or defend any of the Verily Licensed Patents in [***], or (iv) rights necessary to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize [***];

Section 801.10), is less than $84.4 million and has therefore concluded, taking into account the aggregation rules under the HSR Act, that the HSR Act’s size of transaction test will not be satisfied, with respect to the non-exempt assets DexCom will acquire under this Agreement.
11.1.8 Verily Service Covenants.

11.4 Indemnification.
11.4.1 Indemnification by Verily. Verily hereby agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify (collectively, “Indemnify”) DexCom and its Affiliates, and its and their agents, directors, officers and employees (the “DexCom Indemnitees”) from and against any liability or expense (including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”), resulting from suits, claims, actions and demands, in each case brought by a Third Party (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) arising out of (a) a breach of any of Verily’s covenants, representations or warranties hereunder, (b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct or omission of Verily or its Affiliates under this Agreement, (c) actual or alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of a Third Party by a Verily Service or deliverable of Verily under the Development Plan (“Verily Deliverable”), except to the extent that such infringement results from a modification, enhancement or improvement made or implemented by DexCom to the Verily Deliverable, or combination of the Verily Deliverable with materials not furnished by Verily. Verily’s obligation to Indemnify the DexCom Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 11.4.1 shall not apply to the extent that any such Losses arise from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of any DexCom Indemnitee, arise from any material breach by DexCom of this Agreement; or are Losses for which DexCom is obligated to Indemnify the Verily Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.4.3. Verily may, at Verily’s option, (i) obtain, at its expense, a license from such Third Party for the benefit of DexCom and its customers, and/or (ii) replace or modify the deliverable in question so that it is no longer infringing but provides comparable functionality. Verily’s obligation to indemnify under this Section 11.4.1 shall not extend to use of its deliverable or Verily Service after Verily has offered or implemented a technically reasonable non-infringing alternative design with comparable functionality.

a deliverable of DexCom under the Development Plan (“DexCom Deliverable”), except to the extent that such infringement results from a modification, enhancement or improvement made or implemented by Verily to the DexCom Deliverable, or combination of the DexCom Deliverable with materials not furnished by DexCom. DexCom’s obligation to Indemnify the Verily Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 11.4.3 shall not apply to the extent that any such Losses arise from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of any Verily Indemnitee, arise from any material breach by Verily of this Agreement or are Losses for which Verily is obligated to Indemnify the DexCom Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.4.1.
11.4.4 Procedure. The indemnified Party shall provide the indemnifying Party with prompt notice of the Third-Party Claim or [***] giving rise to the indemnification obligation pursuant to this Section 11.4 and, to be eligible to be Indemnified hereunder, the exclusive ability to defend (with the reasonable cooperation of the indemnified Party) or settle any such claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement that admits fault, wrongdoing or damages without the indemnified Party’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Such liability insurance or self-insurance shall be maintained on an occurrence basis to provide such protection after expiration or termination of the policy itself or this Agreement.

12.2 Termination for Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement in the event the other Party materially breaches this Agreement, and such material breach shall have continued for [***] days after written notice thereof was provided to the breaching Party by the other Party. Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such [***] day period unless the breaching Party has cured any such material breach prior to the expiration of the [***] day period, provided, however, in the event that, following the Launch of the first Product, a good faith dispute arises with respect to the existence of any material breach of a Party’s obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop, Manufacture, Launch, or Commercialize (which material breach, if existing, would give the other Party the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth herein), such termination right shall be tolled commencing on the date of receipt of written notice of such good faith dispute until such time as the dispute is resolved pursuant to Article 13. If this Agreement is terminated following a tolling period as described in this Section 12.2, then, for purposes of determining what constitutes Verily Background IP, the “Term” shall be deemed to end on the date on which such termination would otherwise have been effective in the absence of such tolling.
12.3 General Effects of Expiration or Termination.
12.3.1 Accrued Obligations.

14.4 Waiver. Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition. No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as a continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.
14.5 Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties as nearly as may be possible. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If a Party seeks to avoid a provision of this Agreement by asserting that such provision is invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such action shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement.

All references to the Original Agreement in any other agreement or other document between the Parties that pre-dates the Effective Date shall, on and after the Effective Date, be deemed to refer to this Agreement (except to the extent, if any, that such interpretation would conflict with the terms of this Agreement as they refer or pertain to the Original Agreement).
