Recipient further waives any requirement for the posting of any bond in connection with any remedy. This remedy will be in addition to any other available remedies at law or in equity.

THIS AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”) dated this December 2, 2022 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), amends that certain Distribution Services Agreement and all amendments and/or addenda thereto by and between Dexcom, Inc.

The amount of the Freight Allowance is forty (40) basis points (0.40%) which will remain unchanged for two (2) years from the Amendment Effective Date (Initial Freight Allowance Term”). After the Initial Freight Allowance Term, the Freight Allowance may be revised on an annual basis in an amount to be negotiated between Supplier and ABC. The Freight Allowance shall be invoiced monthly separately from Supplier’s Distribution Services Fee and will invoice the Supplier for the Freight Allowance within thirty (30) days after the end of each month. The Supplier must pay such invoices within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. The Supplier will notify ABC of any disputed charges within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice covering these charges. In the absence of any dispute, all invoices will be deemed to be correct and due in full per the payment terms above. If the fees are not received within specified timeline, ABC reserves the right to
deduct the amount due from payment to Supplier. ABC and Supplier reserve the right to terminate Section 2(g) at any time with thirty (30) days prior written notice to Supplier. If ABC or Supplier terminates Section 2(g), all Sections of the Agreement which have been modified because of the Freight Allowance will revert back to the original language.
The Parties acknowledge that the fee set forth in this section assumes a certain volume of Product as discussed by the Parties. In the event of a sustained increase or decrease in the total average volume of Product resulting in unforeseen additional or reduced services, the Parties will meet in good faith to negotiate a corresponding increase or decrease to the Fee to continue to provide fair compensation to for the services provided hereunder.
