 7. Miscellaneous. 
 7.1 Confidentiality. The
parties recognize that in connection with the performance of this Agreement, the parties may furnish and disclose to each other confidential and proprietary information including, without limitation, information relating to the parties’
respective organization, personnel, business activities, policies, finances, costs, marketing plans, projected revenues, technology, rights, obligations, liabilities, strategies and customer lists (collectively, “Confidential
Information”). Each party, to the extent it comes into possession of Confidential Information of the other party, agrees that, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, it shall not directly or indirectly use such Confidential
Information for its own benefit or in connection with its business relationships with patients/customers/clients of the owner of the Confidential Information, and shall take all reasonable care to ensure that such Confidential Information shall not
be disclosed to any third party, including imposing reasonable confidentiality requirements with respect to such Confidential Information on its employees, agents, counsel, accountants and other representatives, except insofar as:
(i) disclosure may be specifically authorized in writing from time to time by the owner of the Confidential Information; (ii) such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed in connection with performance of this Agreement, or
pursuant to any right or license granted by the owner of the Confidential Information; (iii) the recipient of the Confidential Information can demonstrate, by independent documentation, that such Confidential Information was previously made
public by the Confidential Information’s owner; (iv) the recipient of the Confidential Information can demonstrate, by independent documentation, that such Confidential Information was in the public domain, prior to its disclosure
hereunder and otherwise than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations hereunder; (v) the recipient of the Confidential Information can demonstrate, by independent documentation, that such Confidential Information was known by the
recipient prior to its disclosure hereunder or was independently developed by the recipient without the aid or use of any information disclosed hereunder; or (vi) such disclosure is required under compulsion of law, including subpoena, civil
investigative demand, oral questions or interrogatories, or other compulsory process; provided that, the Confidential Information’s owner shall be given notice of service of such demand or process and a reasonable opportunity to defend against
such demand or process, and the party against whom such demand or process is asserted provides all reasonable cooperation in opposing the same to the fullest extent permitted by law. The obligations of each party under this Section 7.1 shall
survive any termination of this Agreement and expire upon the fifth (5th) anniversary of the effective date of such termination. Each of the parties, for itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges that any violation of this
Section 7.1 would seriously and irreparably injure the owner of the Confidential Information. In addition to all other remedies permitted by law or in equity and without limiting any action at law or in equity to which such owner may be
entitled, the owner of any Confidential Information shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, without bond, to enforce the terms and conditions stated herein. 
 7.2 Assignability. This Agreement is assignable by I-Flow without restriction. This Agreement may not be assigned by InfuSystem, except with the written consent of I-Flow, which 

  

 6 








 
consent may be withheld in I-Flow’s sole and exclusive discretion, or to a successor to all, or substantially all of InfuSystem’s assets. Any
purported assignment by InfuSystem in violation of the foregoing shall be void. 
 7.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Michigan, without giving effect to the choice of law rules thereof. 
 7.4 Attorneys’ Fees. If any Party to this Agreement shall bring any action, suit, arbitration, mediation, counterclaim or appeal for any relief against any other Party, declaratory or otherwise, to enforce the terms hereof or to
declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party in such action shall be entitled to recover as recoverable costs in any such action its actual attorneys’ fees and costs (including reasonable fees and costs for in-house counsel), all expert fees
and costs, all court and arbitration expenses, and any other costs reasonably and properly incurred, including any fees and costs incurred in bringing and prosecuting such action and enforcing any order, judgment, ruling, or award granted as part of
such action. As used in this Section, “Prevailing Party” shall include, without limitation, a Party which obtains substantially the relief sought by it. 
 7.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. 
 7.6 Severability. Should any part or provision of this Agreement be rendered or declared invalid by reason of any
law or by decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of any other term, clause, or provision shall not be affected provided that such invalid or unenforceable provision is and can be replaced with an enforceable clause which most
closely achieves the result intended by such invalid clause. 
 7.7 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for reference
only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. 
 7.8 Drafting. The Parties agree that
this Agreement shall not be construed against either Party as the drafter. 
 7.9 Waiver. No waiver or delay by either Party of any
breach of the covenants contained herein to be performed by the other Party shall be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other covenants or conditions hereof. 
 7.10 Entirety of Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, and any contemporaneous
oral agreements, between the Parties hereto in regard to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the Parties in regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be changed or modified orally, but only by an
agreement, in writing, signed by both parties hereto.
