Purchase Agreement

by and between

VARIAN, INC. ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING

(“VEM”)

and

MASIMO CORPORATION

(“Masimo”)


PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into this 26th day of July 2001 by and between Varian, Inc. Electronics Manufacturing, a Delaware corporation having its place of business at 615 South River Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85281 (“VEM”) and Masimo Corporation, having its place of business at 2852 Kelvin Avenue, Irvine, CA 92614 (“Customer”).

Customer has created a market for Customer’s Products and is solely responsible for the sales and marketing of the Products. VEM has developed processes and practices for manufacturing products for many different electronic applications and at Customer’s request desires to manufacture Customer’s Products in accordance with Customer’s specifications. Customer acknowledges that VEM’s expertise is manufacturing and that VEM’s responsibility related to the Customer’s Products is limited to this extent. The parties agree as follows:

1.0 WORK, LICENSE

VEM agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to perform the work (hereinafter “Work”) pursuant to purchase orders or changes thereto issued by Customer and accepted by VEM. Work shall mean to procure labor, components, materials, equipment and other supplies and to manufacture, assemble, and test printed circuit board products more particularly described on Exhibit 1.0 (hereinafter “Products”) pursuant to detailed written specifications for each such Product which are provided by Customer and accepted by VEM and to deliver such Products. For each Product or revision thereof, written specifications shall include but are not limited to bill of materials, designs, schematics, assembly drawings, process documentation, test specifications, current revision number, and approved vendor list (hereinafter “Specifications”).

VEM is granted by Customer a non-exclusive license during the term of this Agreement to use Customer’s patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property as necessary to perform VEM’s obligations under this Agreement.

2.0 FORECASTS, ORDERS, MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

2.1 Forecast. Customer shall provide VEM, on a monthly basis, a rolling six (6) month Product order forecast.

2.2 Purchase Orders. Customer will issue written purchase orders once per calendar month which specify all Work to be completed within a minimum four (4) month period commencing on the date of the purchase order. Each purchase order shall reference this Agreement and the applicable written Specifications as described in Section 1.0. Purchase orders shall normally be deemed accepted by VEM, provided however that VEM may reject any order that represents a significant deviation from Customer’s most recent rolling Product order forecasts for the same time period. VEM shall notify Customer of rejection of any purchase order within five (5) working days of receipt of such order.

Customer may use its standard purchase order form to release items, quantities, prices, schedules, change notices, specifications, or other notice provided for hereunder. The parties agree that the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall prevail over any terms and

 

-1-


conditions of any purchase order, acknowledgment form or other instrument used for ordering Work under this Agreement.

2.3 Material Procurement. Customer’s accepted purchase orders will constitute authorization for VEM to procure, using standard purchasing practices, the labor, and the “Inventory” necessary for the manufacture of Products covered by such purchase orders. The Inventory includes components, materials and supplies.

In addition, Customer authorizes VEM to purchase, components, materials, and supplies: (i) with lead times exceeding the period covered by the accepted purchase orders for the Products to the extent necessary for the manufacture of additional Product covered by the Customer’s forecast (“Long Lead Time Components”) and, (ii) purchased in quantities above the required amount for purchase orders to achieve price targets (“Economic Order Inventory”), and (iii) purchased in excess of requirements for purchase orders because of minimum lot sizes available from manufacturers (“Minimum Order Inventory”). Together these are called “Special Inventory”.

The term “lead time” in this Section shall mean the lead time recorded on VEM’s MRP system at the time of procurement of Inventory and Special Inventory or at the time of the cancellation of the purchase order or termination of this Agreement whichever is greater.

VEM may purchase Long Lead-Time Components sufficient to meet all deliveries under the purchase orders and Product forecast in effect at the time the order with the supplier is placed, and may reasonably purchase Minimum Order Inventory even if greater than the amount necessary to meet purchase orders and Product forecast. Economic Order Inventory shall be purchased by VEM only with the prior approval of Customer.

In addition upon Customer’s written request, VEM may from time to time hold Long Lead-Time Components and finished Products in inventory to increase Customer’s sourcing flexibility. The components and quantities of all such inventory and the associated cost will be documented in a separate letter and signed by both VEM and Customer.

Customer will be responsible under the conditions provided elsewhere in this Agreement for all Inventory and Special Inventory purchased by VEM under this Section 2.3.

2.4 Preferred Supplier. Customer shall provide a list of vendors currently approved to provide the materials and components specified in the bill of materials for the Product (the “Approved Vendor List” or “AVL”). VEM shall purchase from vendors on a current AVL the materials and components required to manufacture the Product. Customer shall give VEM every opportunity to be included on AVL’s for materials and components that VEM can supply, and if VEM is competitive with other suppliers with respect to reasonable and unbiased criteria for acceptance established by Customer, VEM shall be included on such AVL’s. If VEM is on an AVL and its prices and quality are competitive with other vendors, Customer will raise no objection to VEM sourcing materials and components from itself. For purposes of this paragraph only, the term “VEM” includes any companies affiliated with VEM.

3.0 SHIPMENTS, SCHEDULE CHANGE, CANCELLATION

3.1 Shipments. All Products delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be suitably packed for shipment in accordance with Customer’s Specifications, marked for shipment to Customer’s destination specified in the applicable purchase order and delivered to a carrier or forwarding agent. Shipment will be F.O.B. VEM’s facility at which time risk of loss and title will pass to Customer. All freight, insurance and other shipping expenses, as well as any special packing expenses not included in the original price quotation for the Products, will be. paid by Customer.

3.2 Quantity Increases and Shipment Schedule Changes. For any accepted purchase order, Customer may (i) increase the quantity of Products, or (ii) reschedule the quantity of Products and their shipment date as provided in the table below:

Maximum Allowable Variance From Purchase Order Quantities/Shipment Dates

 

# of days before Shipment

Date on Purchase Order

61-90

   35%    30%    30 days

91-120

   50%    50%    60 days

Any purchase order quantities increased or rescheduled pursuant to this Section may not be subsequently increased or rescheduled without the prior written approval of VEM. Allowable quantity increases are subject to material availability. VEM will use reasonable commercial efforts to meet quantity increases.

All other changes in quantity or shipment date beyond the permitted variances set for above, require VEM’s prior written consent and shall be subject to an inventory carrying charge of 1.5% per month of the cost of finished Product, and Inventory and Special Inventory procured to support the changed quantity.

If there are extra costs to meet a reschedule or increase in excess of the above limits, VEM will inform Customer for its acceptance and approval in advance.

3.3 Cancellation. Customer may not cancel any portion of Product quantity of an accepted purchase order without VEM’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the parties agree upon a cancellation, Customer will pay VEM for Products, Inventory, and Special Inventory affected by the cancellation as follows: (i) 100% of the current price for all finished Products in VEM’s possession, (ii) 110% of the cost of all Inventory and Special Inventory in VEM’s possession and not returnable to the vendor or usable for other customers,

whether in raw form or work in process, less the salvage value thereof, (iii) 110% of the cost of all Inventory and Special Inventory on order and not cancelable, and (iv) any vendor cancellation charges incurred with respect to Inventory and Special Inventory accepted for cancellation or return by the vendor.

The term “cost” as it relates to Inventory and Special Inventory in this subsection shall mean the cost represented on the bill of materials supporting the most current Product price at the time of cancellation or termination.

VEM will use reasonable commercial efforts to return unused Inventory and Special Inventory and to cancel pending orders for such inventory, and to otherwise mitigate the amounts payable by Customer. Customer shall pay amounts due under this section within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice. VEM will ship the Products, Inventory and Special Inventory paid for by Customer under this section to Customer promptly upon said payment by Customer. In the event Customer does not pay within ten (10) days, VEM will be entitled to dispose of Products, Inventory and Special Inventory in a commercially reasonable manner and credit to Customer any monies received from third parties. VEM shall then submit an invoice for the balance amount due and Customer agrees to pay said amount within ten (10) days of its receipt of the invoice.

4.0 ENGINEERING CHANGES

Customer may request, in writing, that VEM incorporate engineering changes into the Product. Such request will include a description of the proposed engineering change sufficient to permit VEM to evaluate its feasibility and cost. VEM’s evaluation shall be in writing and shall state the costs and time of implementation and the impact on the delivery schedule and pricing of the Product. VEM will not be obligated to proceed with the engineering change until the parties have agreed upon the changes to the Product’s Specifications, delivery schedule and Product pricing and upon the implementation costs to be borne by the Customer including, without limitation, the cost of Inventory and Special Inventory on-hand and on-order that becomes obsolete.

5.0 TOOLING, NON-RECURRING EXPENSES, MANUFACTURING SOFTWARE

VEM shall provide tooling that is not Product-specific at its expense. Customer shall pay for or obtain and consign to VEM any Product specific tooling and other reasonably necessary non-recurring expenses, to be set forth in VEM’s quotation. If VEM is to conduct Product testing, Customer will provide VEM with applicable and required board-level and completed unit test software and procedures necessary to perform testing of Products. All software related to manufacture or testing of the Products that Customer provides to VEM is and shall remain the property of Customer. Customer grants VEM a license to copy, modify and use such software required to perform VEM’s obligations under this Agreement. All software developed by Customer that is used or useful in connection with the Products shall remain the property of Customer and VEM shall have no right or license to use, copy, modify or distribute any such software.

6.0 PRODUCT TITLE, INSPECTION AND WARRANTY

6.1 Product Title. The Products delivered by VEM will be inspected as required by Customer within ten (10) days of receipt per Customer’s incoming Acceptance Procedure. If Products are found to be defective in […***…] or workmanship, Customer has the right to reject such Products during said period. Customer may return defective Products.
