12. INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 Notice. Recognizing the objectives of this Agreement, ZOLL agrees
that if it knows of or becomes aware of any patents that may be infringed by the
manufacture and sale of the MASIMO Products, it will promptly disclose such
information to MASIMO.
12.2 MASIMO will defend, indemnify and hold ZOLL harmless against any
and all liability, loss, damages, costs or expenses which ZOLL may hereafter
incur, as a result of any injury, illness or death of any person which is caused
by any MASIMO Product, to the extent that such injury, illness or death resulted
from (i) MASIMO's design or manufacture of the MASIMO Products or (ii) failure
of the MASIMO Products at the time of shipment to ZOLL to materially comply with
the specification. MASIMO shall have no liability or responsibility of any kind
to ZOLL under this Section 12 to the extent that MASIMO's ability to defend or
settle any such claim is prejudiced by ZOLL's failure to (a) promptly notify
MASIMO in writing of any claim relating to this section, (b) provide reasonable
assistance to MASIMO, at MASIMO's expense, in connection with the defense and
settlement of any such claim, and (c) permit MASIMO to control the defense of
any such claim. MASIMO shall have no liability for settlements made without
express written consent. Should ZOLL desire to have its own counsel participate
in any such action, the cost of such counsel shall be exclusively ZOLL's.
12.3 ZOLL will defend, indemnify and hold MASIMO harmless against any and
all liability, loss, damages, costs or expenses which MASIMO may hereafter
incur, as a result of any injury, illness or
12
16
death of any persons, or infringement or alleged infringement of any patent,
copyright, trademark, trade secret or any other proprietary right of any third
party, to the extent that such illness, injury, death or infringement results
from the Licensed Devices and results from technology or products not supplied
by MASIMO. ZOLL shall have no liability under this Section to the extent that
ZOLL's ability to defend or settle any such suit or claim is prejudiced by
MASIMO's failure to (a) promptly notify ZOLL in writing of any claim relating to
this Section, (b) provide reasonable assistance to ZOLL, at ZOLL's expense, in
connection with the defense and settlement of such claim, and (c) permit ZOLL to
control the defense of any such claim. ZOLL shall have no liability for
settlements made without its express written consent. Should MASIMO desire to
have its own counsel participate in any such actions, the cost of such counsel
shall be exclusively MASIMO's.
12.4 MASIMO will defend, indemnify and hold ZOLL and its customers
harmless against infringement or alleged infringement by the SpO(sub 2), Sensors
furnished under this Agreement, or by the MS-1 Boards or Accessories, of any
patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or any other proprietary right of any
third party. MASIMO shall have no liability under this section to the extent
that MASIMO's ability to defend or settle any such suit or claim is prejudiced
by ZOLL's failure to (a) promptly notify MASIMO promptly in writing of any such
claim or proceeding, (b) provide MASIMO reasonable assistance, at MASIMO's
expense, in connection with the defense and settlement of any such claim
including, but not limited to, where practical, to modify the SpO(sub 2) Sensors
and/or the MS-1 Boards to make them non-infringing or, where practical, to
obtain licenses under such intellectual property rights and (c) permit MASIMO to
control the defense of any such claim. MASIMO shall have no liability for
settlements made without its express written consent. MASIMO may, at its sole
discretion, modify the SpO(sub 2), Sensors and/or MS-1 Boards to make them
non-infringing, obtain a license to allow the continued use of the SpO(sub 2)
Sensors and/or MS-1 Boards or discontinue shipment of the SpO(sub 2) Sensors
and/or MS-1 Boards to ZOLL. In the event MASIMO discontinues shipment, and ZOLL
is restricted from selling Licensed Devices with MASIMO Products, ZOLL shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement and MASIMO agrees to buy back ZOLL's
inventory of MASIMO Products at the original transfer price. In the event that
ZOLL's ability to use the MASIMO Products is Genuinely Impaired by such a claim
under this Section and MASIMO does not, within ten (10) days after receipt of
notice of such impairment, procure for ZOLL the right to use such MASIMO
Products or replace such products with functionality equivalent products, ZOLL
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective upon written notice
to MASIMO. "Genuinely Impaired" shall mean that MASIMO is temporarily or
permanently enjoined from selling the MASIMO Products or an equivalent, or that
a substantial volume of orders from ZOLL's customers are canceled due to the
infringement claim, or an infringement claim or allegation which has a material
negative impact on ZOLL's ability to sell Licensed Devices, but shall not be a
mere allegation, claim or filing of an infringement suit.
12.5 Notwithstanding the above, Masimo shall have no indemnification
obligations under Section 12.4 for any infringement or claims of infringement
relating to Licensed Devices resulting solely from (a) modifications by Zoll or
any others to MASIMO Technology or the MASIMO Products, (b) from
electrical/electronics, software/firmware, sensors or product interface not
furnished by MASIMO, (c) the combination of the MASIMO Products with apparatus
not furnished by MASIMO, (d) use of products or components not supplied by
MASIMO, or the combination of MASIMO Technology with other technology not
furnished by MASIMO, (e) use of MASIMO Technology in products not permitted by
the license granted herein, or (f) for any claims not related directly to MASIMO
Technology or the MASIMO Products.
12.6 Patent Defense. ZOLL agrees that it shall notify MASIMO of any claim
by a third party that such third party believes that MASIMO Patents or Patent
Rights are invalid. ZOLL agrees to promptly notify MASIMO of any such claim
whether or not such claim is asserted in court by such third party.
12.6.1 During and after the term of this Agreement, ZOLL agrees
not to challenge the validity of any of the Patent Rights. During the
term of this Agreement, ZOLL agrees to disclose to MASIMO any prior art
or any other information that is material to the validity of any of the
Patent Rights or to the patentability of any pending MASIMO patent
application of which ZOLL is aware.

12.7 Regulatory Compliance
12.7.1 ZOLL shall be solely responsible for identifying and
obtaining, at its sole cost and expense, all FDA and United States
safety agency approvals and any other agency or regulatory approvals
which are required for the development, manufacture or sale of Licensed
Devices. MASIMO will reasonably cooperate with ZOLL by providing at no
charge to ZOLL any MASIMO data in its possession that is reasonably
required to obtain the regulatory approvals, including but not limited
to 51O(k) application materials submitted by MASIMO for its own products
that incorporate MASIMO SET. Disclosure by ZOLL of any such data shall
be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 9
("CONFIDENTIALITY"); provided however, that notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, MASIMO expressly acknowledges
and agrees that ZOLL will be applying for Food and Drug Administration
("FDA") approval for the Licensed Devices and ZOLL shall have the right,
without prior approval from MASIMO, to furnish the FDA any information
from MASIMO's 510-k submission and any information requested by the FDA
deemed by ZOLL to be necessary or advisable to secure FDA approvals for
the ZOLL Products. For additional MASIMO Confidential Information, ZOLL
shall first seek approval from MASIMO, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld.
12.7.2 ZOLL shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost and
expenses, (i) for identifying and obtaining any necessary approvals or
certifications by any non-U.S. governmental, safety or regulatory
entity, including testing or other procedures, for the sale by ZOLL of
Licensed Devices, (ii) for identifying and complying with any safety
precautions, safety markings, labels or consumer notices required for
ZOLL Product sales in any country other than the United States, and
(iii) for assessing the appropriateness of the ZOLL Product for any
particular Customer application. MASIMO will cooperate with ZOLL by
providing any data in its possession that is reasonably required to
obtain such approvals or certifications. Disclosure by ZOLL of any such
data to any third party shall be subject to the confidentiality
provisions of Article 9 ("CONFIDENTIALITY").
12.7.3 In the event of any recall of any product incorporating
MS-1 or SpO(sub 2), Sensors, the parties shall cooperate to the extent
reasonably necessary to conduct such recall in accordance with ZOLL's
policies and procedures.
12.7.4 Regardless of any disclosure to MASIMO by ZOLL of an
ultimate destination of the Licensed Devices or the Software, ZOLL shall
not transfer or re-export, whether directly or indirectly, the Software,
the MASIMO Products or Licensed Devices containing the Software, the
related documentation, or other related proprietary information to
anyone outside the U.S. as to which export may be in violation of the
United States Export Laws or regulations without first obtaining the
appropriate license from the U.S. Department of Commerce and/or any
agency or department of the U.S. government, as required.
13. INCIDENT REPORTING
13.1 MASIMO Reporting. MASIMO represents and warrants that all MASIMO
Products manufactured and sold to ZOLL pursuant to this Agreement shall be
manufactured materially in conformance with all applicable requirements of the
FDA and in accordance with all United States federal, state and local statutes,
ordinances and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.). If MASIMO is prevented from
shipping product to ZOLL (for any period of time in excess of 30 days) due to
regulatory actions imposed by FDA, the 80% commitment shall be excused for the
period of shut down plus six months. If ZOLL requests an evaluation and/or
investigation into an alleged failure of a MASIMO device, MASIMO shall promptly
perform such investigation and provide ZOLL with written results of the
investigation within 5 business days after receipt of the defective material.
13.2 ZOLL Reporting. ZOLL represents that in addition to being responsible
for all regulatory approvals for the Licensed Devices that should any incidents
of failure of the MASIMO Products which
14
18
result in bodily injury be reported to ZOLL, that it will promptly (i.e., within
two (2) business days) notify MASIMO of any such field performance problems or
deficiencies. ZOLL agrees to report to MASIMO any other incidents of failure
within a reasonable time.
13.3 Recall. If for any reason MASIMO determines that a recall of
Product(s) is (are) necessary as defined in FDA regulations (21, CFR Part 7),
MASIMO shall notify ZOLL of the possibility of Product recall. If MASIMO
notifies ZOLL that the Product must be recalled, ZOLL agrees that it shall as
expediently as possible issue a recall notice to all its customers recalling the
MASIMO Products in question. Provided that the MASIMO Products meet the
specifications specified in Exhibit G, MASIMO's liability for a Product recall
shall be the repair or replacement of the part that causes the recall. If the
MASIMO Products fail to meet MASIMO's specifications as set forth in Exhibit G,
then MASIMO's sole responsibility, subject to MASIMO's obligations under this
Agreement, including without limitation, MASIMO's indemnification obligations
under Section 12 hereunder, shall be the cost which it incurs for repairing
and/or replacing the Product in question and for the payment of all freight or
shipping charges involved with such recall.
14. TERM AND TERMINATION
14.1 This Agreement shall become effective as of the effective date
first set forth above, and shall remain in effect for Five (5) years, thereafter
this Agreement is renewable for one-year periods with mutual consent.
14.2 Termination
14.2.1 The default by one Party on a material obligation of such
Party under this Agreement shall entitle the other Party to give the
Party in default written notice describing such default in detail and
requiring it to remedy such default. If such default is not fully
remedied within ninety (90) days after the date of such notice, the
notifying Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by a
written notice to the defaulting Party.
14.2.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon
or after the filing against the other Party by any third party of a
petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or upon or after any adjudication
that the other Party is insolvent, or upon or after the filing by the
other Party of any petition or answer seeking reorganization,
readjustment or arrangement of the business of the other Party under any
law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or upon or after the
appointment of a receiver for all or substantially all of the property
of the other Party of any assignment or attempted assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or upon or after the institution of any
proceedings for the liquidation or winding up of the other Party's
business.
14.3 Rights Upon Termination. In the event of any valid termination of
this Agreement under Section 14.2 hereof ("Termination"), all of ZOLL's rights
under this Agreement shall be terminated. The termination of ZOLL's rights shall
include the termination of any rights of ZOLL to continue to use MASIMO
Technology, even though such technology may have entered the public domain prior
to or subsequent to termination. This restraint is agreed to be reasonable as
consideration for MASIMO's disclosing know-how to ZOLL prior to it entering the
public domain. No termination shall impact MASIMO's rights to collect for
accrued royalties and payment for delivered Product or either Parties rights to
pursue all available remedies in addition to those stated herein. ZOLL may
distribute existing inventory for a period not to exceed 12 months following
termination. Any outstanding purchase orders are automatically canceled on
termination by MASIMO.

19
cause of action shall be filed in any court in Orange County, California, U.S.A.

event that such action should be brought in a state court, ZOLL and MASIMO each
consents to personal jurisdiction in any action brought in Municipal Court or
Superior Court of the State of California in the County of Orange ("Notice") of

Boston, Massachusetts and MASIMO and ZOLL each consents to personal jurisdiction
and exclusive venue in any action brought in any court located in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section, either Party shall have the right to apply for injunctive relief for

SPECIFICATIONS FOR PRODUCTS
MS-1 is a complete pulse oximeter, based on Masimo SET, on a circuit board. The
circuit board interfaces directly to LNOP sensors, driving the LEDs in the
sensor to acquire the patient signal, calculates SpO2 and Pulse Rate, and
communicate the information off board.
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION:
RANGE Saturation (SpO2): 35-100%
Pulse Rate: 25-240 BPM (Beats Per Minute)
Perfusion: ( %) Transmission (dB)
greater than or equal to 1 greater than or equal to -50 dB
0.02 - 1 greater than or equal to -23.98-SS ( %) - 26.02
ACCURACY
Adults
SpO2 Range 70%-100% 0% to 69%
Accuracy (plus or minus 1 Std. Dev.)* plus or minus 2 digits Unspecified
Pulse Rate Range 25-240 BPM
Accuracy (plus or minus 1 Std. Dev.)* plus or minus 4 BPM
Neonates
SpO2 Range 70%-95% 0% to 69%
Accuracy (plus or minus 1 Std. Dev.)* plus or minus 3 digits Unspecified
Pulse Rate Range 25-240 BPM
Accuracy (plus or minus 1 Std. Dev.)* plus or minus 4 BPM
NOTE: The MS-1 pulse oximeter board is calibrated to read oxyhemoglobin
saturation (%SpO2) of functional hemoglobin as compared to a Nellcor N-200
pulse oximeter and/or a CO-Oximeter. Significant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglobin (e.g., methemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin) may affect the accuracy of
the instrument. Indocynnine green, methylene blue, and other intra-vascular
dyes, depending upon their concentrations, may interfere with the accuracy of
the instrument. MS-1 performance will be compromised if there is no arterial
blood at the test site due to excessive patient motion (e.g., squeezing at a
pressure close to subject's diastolic blood pressure), ultra low perfusion,
excessive electrosurgical interference, or intense environmental illumination.
* Testing is based on healthy adult volunteers in induced hypoxia studies with
LNOP(R) Adt sensors; during no motion. Testing to verify saturation
specifications is done against a Nellcor N-200 pulse oximeter and/or a
CO-Oximeter. Testing to verify pulse rate specification is done against a
Nellcor N-200 pulse oximeter and/or an ECG.
