EXHIBIT 10.29
THIS INTERCOMPANY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of this 1st day of January, 2006, by Masimo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Masimo”) and Masimo Europe Limited, a corporation under the laws of the United Kingdom (“Subsidiary”).
WHEREAS, Subsidiary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Masimo;
(a) Masimo may from time to time by the mutual agreement of the parties provide to Subsidiary certain management and administrative services (the “Masimo Services”). Unless the parties agree otherwise, Subsidiary shall pay Masimo a fee equal to the costs expended by Masimo in rendering the Masimo Services hereunder plus a 5% xxxx-up on such costs (the “Management Fee”), such Management Fee payable in quarterly installments. In addition, Subsidiary shall reimburse Masimo for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Masimo in rendering the Masimo Services hereunder, including, but not limited to, reasonable reimbursement of attorneys’ fees incurred by Masimo, government fees, telephone, copying and the like. Subsidiary acknowledges that such compensation arrangement is no less favorable than could have obtained in an arm’s length arrangement with an unrelated third party. Masimo shall not be liable to Subsidiary for any loss, damage or injury, other than for gross negligence of its agents, or through contingencies beyond its control, arising out of the provision of any such services. Masimo’s liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the amount of consideration paid to Masimo for the Masimo Services provided hereunder. In no event, whatsoever, shall Masimo be liable for consequential or punitive damages.
(b) Masimo shall invoice Subsidiary for the Management Fee and out-of pocket expenses incurred by Masimo in rendering services hereunder at least once each fiscal quarter and payment shall be made by Subsidiary within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice.

(a) Masimo grants to Subsidiary a perpetual, worldwide license to (i) use Masimo’s technical information, inventions, concepts, products, components, trade secrets, know-how, techniques, designs, processes, communications protocols, software, and improvements; whether patentable or not, and all patents, patent applications, copyrights and all other Masimo intellectual property rights (“Masimo Technology”), solely as required in the performance of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

herein. In view of the proprietary and valuable nature of this information and the injury, which would arise in the event of a disclosure of such information, the parties agree that this shall be a continuing obligation that shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This restriction shall not apply to information that:
(i) is or becomes public knowledge (through no fault of the Recipient), or
(ii) is made lawfully available to the Recipient by an independent third party, or
(iii) is required by law, regulation, rule, act, or order of any governmental authority or agency to be disclosed by the Recipient; provided, however, that the Recipient gives the Disclosing Party sufficient advance written notice to permit it to seek a protective order or other similar order with respect to such information and thereafter discloses only the minimum information required to be disclosed in order to comply.
(d) Each party agrees to protect personal data of Subsidiary personnel in accordance with the terms and conditions of Schedule 3 hereto.
(d) Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any provisions thereof relating to conflict of laws.

(i) Neither party shall be responsible for any failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement where such failure is due to force majeure, which shall include, without limitation, fire, flood, explosion, strike, labor disputes, labor shortages, picketing, lockout, transportation embargo or failures or delays in transportation, strikes or labor disputes affecting supplies, or acts of God, civil riot or insurrection, acts of the Federal Government or any agency thereof, or judicial action. Specifically excluded from this definition are those acts of the Federal Government or any agency thereof or judicial action which could have been avoided by compliance with such laws or regulations as are publicly available and reasonably expected to be known by either party.
(ii) Upon the cessation of any cause operating to excuse performance of either party under this Section, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless or until otherwise terminated pursuant to this Agreement. If one or more of said causes is asserted by either party as a basis of that party’s nonperformance, the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith by giving written notice to that effect prior to the resumption of performance.

This provision does not apply to persons authorized or required by law or regulation to have access to the personal data.
(c) It has no reason to believe, at the time of entering into these clauses, in the existence of any local laws that would have a substantial adverse effect on the guarantees provided for under these clauses, and it will inform Subsidiary (which will pass such notification on to the authority where required) if it becomes aware of any such laws.

The request will be subject to any necessary consent or approval from a regulatory or supervisory authority within the country of Masimo, which consent or approval Masimo will attempt to obtain in a timely fashion.

IV. | Liability and third party rights |
(a) Each party shall be liable to the other parties for damages it causes by any breach of these clauses. Liability as between the parties is limited to actual damage suffered. Punitive damages (i.e. damages intended to punish a party for its outrageous conduct) are specifically excluded. Each party shall be liable to data subjects for damages it causes by any breach of third party rights under these clauses. This does not affect the liability of Subsidiary under its data protection law.
(b) The parties agree that a data subject shall have the right to enforce as a third party beneficiary this clause and clauses II(b), II(d), II(e), III(a), III(c), III(d), III(e), III(h), III(i), IV(a), VI, VII(d) and VIII against Masimo or Subsidiary, for their respective breach of their contractual obligations, with regard to his personal data, and accept jurisdiction for this purpose in
-18-
Subsidiary’s country of establishment. In cases involving allegations of breach by Masimo, the data subject must first request Subsidiary to take appropriate action to enforce his rights against Masimo; if Subsidiary does not take such action within a reasonable period (which under normal circumstances would be one month), the data subject may then enforce his rights against Masimo directly. A data subject is entitled to proceed directly against a data exporter that has failed to use reasonable efforts to determine that Masimo is able to satisfy its legal obligations under these clauses (Subsidiary shall have the burden to prove that it took reasonable efforts).
V. | Law applicable to the clauses |
These clauses shall be governed by the law of the country in which Subsidiary is established, with the exception of the laws and regulations relating to processing of the personal data by Masimo under clause III(h), which shall apply only if so selected by Masimo under that clause.
VI. | Resolution of disputes with data subjects or the authority |
(a) In the event of a dispute or claim brought by a data subject or the authority concerning the processing of the personal data against either or both of the parties, the parties will inform each other about any such disputes or claims, and will cooperate with a view to settling them amicably in a timely fashion.
(b) The parties agree to respond to any generally available non-binding mediation procedure initiated by a data subject or by the authority. If they do participate in the proceedings, the parties may elect to do so remotely (such as by telephone or other electronic means). The parties also agree to consider participating in any other arbitration, mediation or other dispute resolution proceedings developed for data protection disputes.
(c) Each party shall abide by a decision of a competent court of Subsidiary’s country of establishment or of the authority which is final and against which no further appeal is possible.
VII. | Termination |
(a) In the event that Masimo is in breach of its obligations under these clauses, then Subsidiary may temporarily suspend the transfer of personal data to Masimo until the breach is repaired or the contract is terminated.
(b) In the event that:
(i) the transfer of personal data to Masimo has been temporarily suspended by Subsidiary for longer than one month pursuant to paragraph (a);
(ii) compliance by Masimo with these clauses would put it in breach of its legal or regulatory obligations in the country of import;
(iii) Masimo is in substantial or persistent breach of any warranties or undertakings given by it under these clauses;
-19-
(iv) a final decision against which no further appeal is possible of a competent court of Subsidiary’s country of establishment or of the authority rules that there has been a breach of the clauses by Masimo or Subsidiary; or
(v) a petition is presented for the administration or winding up of Masimo, whether in its personal or business capacity, which petition is not dismissed within the applicable period for such dismissal under applicable law; a winding up order is made; a receiver is appointed over any of its assets; a trustee in bankruptcy is appointed, if Masimo is an individual; a company voluntary arrangement is commenced by it; or any equivalent event in any jurisdiction occurs then Subsidiary, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have against Masimo, shall be entitled to terminate these clauses, in which case the authority shall be informed where required. In cases covered by (i), (ii), or (iv) above Masimo may also terminate these clauses.
(c) Either party may terminate these clauses if (i) any Commission positive adequacy decision under Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC (or any superseding text) is issued in relation to the country (or a sector thereof) to which the data is transferred and processed by Masimo, or (ii) Directive 95/46/EC (or any superseding text) becomes directly applicable in such country.
(d) The parties agree that the termination of these clauses at any time, in any circumstances and for whatever reason (except for termination under clause VII(c)) does not exempt them from the obligations and/or conditions under the clauses as regards the processing of the personal data transferred.
VIII. | Variation of these clauses |
The parties may not modify these clauses except to update the description of data to be provided or of the use for which Masimo will use such data, in which case they will inform the authority where required. This does not preclude the parties from adding additional commercial clauses where required.
IX. | Description of the Transfer |
The personal data to be transferred include all data collected by Subsidiary or by Masimo in the course of employment and may include, without limitation, name, title, salary, job function, work experience, performance evaluations, office address, telephone number, and e-mail address, data relating to expenses charged to credit cards sponsored by Masimo or Subsidiary, age, sex, family status, social security number, education, and specific skills and qualifications. The parties agree that such personal data may contain confidential business information which they will not disclose to third parties, except as required by law or in response to a competent regulatory or government agency, or as required under clause II(e).

SCHEDULE 3
ANNEX A
DATA PROCESSING PRINCIPLES
1 Purpose limitation: Personal data may be processed and subsequently used or further communicated only for legitimate business purposes relating to the employee or subsequently authorized by the data subject.
2 Data quality and proportionality: Personal data must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, The personal data must be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which they are transferred and further processed.
3 Transparency: Data subjects must be provided with information necessary to ensure fair processing (such as information about the purposes of processing and about the transfer), unless such information has already been given by Subsidiary.
4 Security and confidentiality: Technical and organizational security measures must be taken by the data controller that are appropriate to the risks, such as against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, presented by the processing. Any person acting under the authority of the data controller, including a processor, must not process the data except on instructions from the data controller.
5 Rights of access, rectification, deletion and objection: As provided in Article 12 of Directive 95/46/EC, data subjects must, whether directly or via a third party, be provided with the personal information about them that an organization holds, except for requests which are manifestly abusive, based on unreasonable intervals or their number or repetitive or systematic nature, or for which access need not be granted under the law of the country of Subsidiary. Provided that the authority has given its prior approval, access need also not be granted when doing so would be likely to seriously harm the interests of Masimo or other organizations dealing with Masimo and such interests are not overridden by the interests for fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. The sources of the personal data need not be identified when this is not possible by reasonable efforts, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated. Data subjects must be able to have the personal information about them rectified, amended, or deleted where it is inaccurate or processed against these principles. If there are compelling grounds to doubt the legitimacy of the request, the organization may require further justifications before proceeding to rectification, amendment or deletion. Notification of any rectification, amendment or deletion to third parties to whom the data have been disclosed need not be made when this involves a disproportionate effort. A data subject must also be able to object to the processing of the personal data relating to him if there are compelling legitimate grounds relating to his particular situation. The burden of proof for any refusal rests on Masimo, and the data subject may always challenge a refusal before the authority.
6 Sensitive data: Masimo shall take such additional measures (e.g. relating to security) as are necessary to protect such sensitive data in accordance with its obligations under clause III.
-21-
7 Data used for marketing purposes: Where data are processed for the purposes of direct marketing, effective procedures should exist allowing the data subject at any time to “opt-out” from having his data used for such purposes.
(a) | (i) such decisions are made by Masimo in entering into or performing a contract with the data subject, and |
(ii) (the data subject is given an opportunity to discuss the results of a relevant automated decision with a representative of the parties making such decision or otherwise to make representations to that parties.
(b) | where otherwise provided by the law of Subsidiary. |
