NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and sufficient consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement will remain in effect for the period of time set forth in Item 5 of the Cover Sheet.

Upon Purchasing Partners’ request, Seller shall provide Purchasing Partners with written notice of any Products in Exhibit A which are not manufactured by Seller (i.e., those Products which are manufactured by a third party), setting forth the Product name and the name of the actual manufacturer. Any additions or deletions of Products from Exhibit A shall not be effective unless evidenced by an amendment signed by both Parties. [...***...]

Seller hereby represents and warrants that the technology contained in the Products is the latest technology currently available from Seller with respect to the Products’ functions and any new versions of the Products or enhancements to the Products (including without limitation evolutionary versions, software and/or hardware upgrades or new releases) which offer improved effectiveness or functionality shall be referred to herein as “Improvements”. Additionally, Seller warrants that all Products covered under this Agreement, shall be capable of being upgraded to the next generation platform, whenever the next generation products become commercially available. In the event Seller begins marketing Improvements at any time within twelve months of the sale of any Products hereunder, Seller shall provide such Improvements free of charge to Participating Members which purchase or have purchased Products during such 12-month period under this Agreement which do not contain the Improvements.

Payment terms for Products purchased from an Authorized Distributor will be negotiated between each Participating Member and the Authorized Distributor.

6.3 Ordering Shipping Terms. Orders directly from Seller shall be placed by telephone, telecopier or through electronic order entry in accordance with the ordering instructions set forth hereto as Exhibit L. Order processing procedures for orders placed with Authorized Distributors will be negotiated between each Participating Member and the Authorized Distributor. Except as otherwise provided below, all shipments of products directly to Participating Members or to Authorized Distributors from Seller shall be Net F.O.B. origin, with all costs of transportation and insurance being paid by Seller, with the exception of special delivery and/or air shipments requested by Participating Members.

MINORITY, WOMAN-OWNED AND SMALL BUSINESSES POLICY

 

SELLER:    Masimo Corporation
CONTRACT NUMBER:    PP-NS-347
PRODUCT CATEGORY:    Pulse Oximeters

Purchasing Partners desires to promote an environment that facilitates equal opportunity and access by qualified diversity suppliers, (i.e., small, minority, and woman-owned businesses) desiring to provide quality goods and services to Participating Members. Purchasing Partners is committed to encouraging such access through its procurement efforts. Purchasing Partners believes that implementing this policy is good business practice consistent with its mission and that of its members. Furthermore, Purchasing Partners and its affiliates recognize and are sensitive to the high level of importance that Premier members place on the development of minority, woman-owned and small businesses in their local communities.

Purchasing Partners will make every effort to offer a diverse supplier portfolio that meets or exceeds its’ members’ supplier diversity policies. In the event that Purchasing Partners’ supplier diversity portfolio does not meet particular members’ needs, Purchasing Partners’ policy will be to recommend to the Group Purchasing Policy Committee (the “Committee”) that it grant compliance exemption requests from affected members to the extent necessary to enable such members to comply with applicable federal, state, local or self- imposed supplier diversity policies. Any such exemption request is subject to the Committee’s normal approval process.

Purchasing Partners’ contracted suppliers are encouraged to spend a minimum of three percent (3%) of their annual production and raw material costs with minority-owned businesses and a minimum of two percent (2%) of such costs with women-owned businesses. Seller acknowledges that, subject to Purchasing Partners’ compliance with its existing contractual obligations, Purchasing Partners may enter into group purchasing agreements with any diverse suppliers and that one of the main factors underlying Purchasing Partners’ decision to enter into such agreements could be contracted suppliers’ inability or unwillingness to comply with such supplier diversity expenditure targets. Seller shall consider working with any diversity supplier reasonably recommended by Purchasing Partners to assist Seller and Participating Members in complying with the objectives described in this policy.

Seller shall provide a bi-annual report, documenting its expenditures with respect to diverse suppliers. Reporting is to commence within six months of the Effective Date and shall comply with the reporting dates and format set forth in the Premier Business Partner’s website, located under Industry Initiatives and is labeled Supplier Diversity 2nd Tier Report. Only reported purchases from minority and women-owned businesses that are certified by a valid national, state or local certification agency shall qualify for consideration under this policy. Each reported small business entity must have completed a self certification available in the format set forth at www.premierinc.com/supplierdiversity in order to qualify for consideration under this policy.

Suggested certifying agencies are:

 

   

National Minority Suppliers Development Council (www.umsdcus.org)

 

   

Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (www.wbenc.com)

 

   

Small Business Administration (www.sba.gov)

Supplier Diversity Plan: Seller’s diversity plan and compliance with this policy will be discussed during Seller’s periodic business reviews with Purchasing Partners.
