settlements, demands, causes, judgments, expenses, and cost (including reasonable attorney fees) arising under or in connection with this Agreement (collectively, referred to as “Claims”) in the event that such Claims are caused by a)
diaDexus’ breach of any of its warranties in this Agreement, b) the failure of Products to function properly for the Permitted Use by Lab under this Agreement, c) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of diaDexus, or d) any other liability
resulting from Lab’s use of the Products within the Permitted Use under this Agreement. However, the foregoing rights to indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such Claims result from Lab’s negligence or willful misconduct,
including, without limitation, the negligence of Lab’s employees, or from the modification of any Product of diaDexus by Lab or a third party not within diaDexus’s control or without diaDexus’ express written permission. The
obligation of diaDexus to defend, indemnify and hold harmless shall also include, but is not limited to, any such third-party claims, losses, damages, lawsuits, settlements, demands, causes, judgments, expenses and costs (including reasonable

For purposes of this Paragraph R, the indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any suits, claims,
or demands by third parties or the indemnified party that may give rise to any Claim for which indemnification may be required under this Paragraph R; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligation to provide indemnification hereunder except if and to the extent that such failure materially affects the ability of the indemnifying party to defend the applicable Claim.

at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own cost in such matters. In the event that the indemnifying party declines to or fails to
timely assume control of any such Claim, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume such control, conduct the defense of, and settle such Claim, all at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying party.

relationship with the other party in any press release, advertising, marketing, and promotional materials or other publications or materials without first obtaining the prior written approval of the other party. Without limiting the foregoing,
diaDexus agrees not to use any name or mark of Lab or to quote the opinion of any of Lab’s employees in any advertising or other publicity, including in client lists or on diaDexus website, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lab.


  

	U.	 Lab shall label the Product as the PLAC® Test for Lp-PLA2, PLAC® Test, or Lp-PLA2 on its test requisition order forms. If
Lab wishes to market the diaDexus Product using the associated marks, diaDexus hereby grants to Lab a non-exclusive, non-sublicensible license to use its trademarks solely for the Permitted use. 



 

	V.	[*]. 

  

	W.	The parties have provided to each other prior to entering into this Agreement, and in connection with this Agreement may in the future provide to each other,
confidential information, including but not limited to each party’s know-how, inventions, improvements, discoveries, patent applications, trade secrets, devices, compositions, formulas, ideas, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques,
data, computer programs, processes, customer lists, product prices, discounts, sales data, marketing, product development and other business plans, legal affairs and financial and technical information and material embodiments thereof (collectively,
the “Confidential Information”). The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be Confidential Information of the parties, and subject to the terms of this Paragraph W. 


The receiving party shall maintain the Confidential Information of the disclosing party in confidence, shall not disclose such
Confidential Information to any third party, and shall not use such Confidential Information for any purpose except as expressly permitted under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the receiving party
may disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing party to its employees, agents, consultants, and professional, scientific, medical, and legal advisors who have a need to know such Confidential Information; provided that any such
person to whom disclosure is made is bound by obligations of non-disclosure and non-use no less restrictive then those set forth herein. The receiving party shall take the same degree of care that such party uses to protect its own confidential and
proprietary information of a similar nature and importance, but in no event shall such care be less than reasonable care. 
  

	[*]	Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested
with respect to the omitted portions. 


  

					
		 	Page 4 of 12	 	









  
 The obligations of
non-disclosure and non-use under this Paragraph W will not apply as to particular Confidential Information of a disclosing party to the extent that such Confidential Information: (a) is at the time of receipt, or thereafter becomes,
through no fault of the receiving party, published or publicly known or available; (b) is known by the receiving party at the time of receiving such information, as evidenced by written records; (c) is hereafter furnished to the receiving
party by a third party without breach of a duty to the disclosing party; or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the receiving party without use of, application of, access to, or reference to Confidential Information of the
disclosing party as evidenced by written records. Both parties shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) use the Confidential Information to guide or aid a search and/or evaluation of publicly available information for purposes of either showing
the Confidential Information is in the public domain or to recreate the knowledge or logic contained within the Confidential Information from non-protected sources and/or (b) disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise use the Confidential
Information as a guide or template to otherwise recreate the logic or knowledge contained within the Confidential Information and/or to directly or indirectly offer or use a product and/or service that incorporates or uses the functionality of
anything disclosed in the Confidential Information or substantially equivalent to or substituting for, any functionality disclosed by the other party in the Confidential Information of such other party or for any other purpose. 

Disclosure of Confidential Information shall not be precluded if such disclosure (i) is in response to a valid order of a court or
other governmental body or (ii) is required by law or regulation; provided, however, that the receiving party shall first have given reasonable prior notice to the disclosing party and shall have made a reasonable effort to obtain
a protective order, or to cooperate with the disclosing party’s efforts, as applicable, to obtain a protective order limiting the extent of such disclosure and requiring that the Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the
purposes for which such order was issued or as required by such law or regulation. 
 The receiving party agrees that its
obligations under this Paragraph W are necessary and reasonable to protect the disclosing party’s business interests and that the unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information of a disclosing party will cause irreparable harm
and significant injury, the degree of which may be difficult to ascertain. The receiving party further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach of this Paragraph W, the disclosing party may have no adequate
remedy at law and, accordingly, that the disclosing party will have the right to seek an immediate injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Paragraph W, as well as the right to pursue any and all other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. 
 All obligations of non-disclosure and non-use imposed
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph W shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect for a period of ten (10) years after the effective date of such expiration or such
termination. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party determines that it is required by applicable law to
publicly file, register or notify this Agreement with a governmental authority, including public filings pursuant to securities laws, it will provide the proposed redacted form of the Agreement to the other party with a reasonable amount of time for
the other party to review such draft and agree upon such redacted form of the Agreement. Such party shall not unreasonably withhold or delay providing such consent. The party making such filing, registration or notification will request, and use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, confidential treatment of all terms redacted from this Agreement for a term of at least five years. Each party will be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such
filing, registration or notification. 
  

	X.	This Agreement is made in accordance with, and this Agreement and any dispute arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed and
construed under, the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any State other than the State of California. If any claim,
dispute, or controversy arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement is not resolved by informal discussion of the parties within thirty (30) business days after each party is notified of
such dispute, the dispute shall be referred to the CEOs of each party. Upon such referral, these two individuals shall undertake good faith discussions, and shall be empowered to reach a prompt, final resolution of the issue that shall be binding
upon both parties. If these two individuals do not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after such referral, and the parties do not mutually agree in writing to extend such resolution period, the matter may be submitted for adjudication
to the United States District Court, Northern District of California, or in the event that subject matter jurisdiction does not exist in such Court, to the state court sitting within the territory of the Northern District of California. Each party
hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in these courts. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the
parties and the subject matter of the dispute as necessary to protect either party’s name, proprietary information, trade secret, know-how or any other proprietary right. 


 

	Y.	The relationship of the parties established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be constructed to create any other
relationship between the parties. Neither party shall have any right, power, or authority to bind the other or assume, create, or incur any expense, liability, or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party. This Agreement is
neither expressly nor impliedly made for the benefit of any party other than those executing it. 


  

					
		 	Page 5 of 12	 	









  

	Z.	The failure of a party to enforce any rights or provisions of the Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such rights or provisions, or a waiver by such
party to thereafter enforce such rights or provision or any other rights or provisions hereunder. No trade customs, courses of dealing or courses of performance by the parties shall be relevant to modify, supplement, or explain any term(s) used in
this Agreement. 

  

	AA.	If any term, condition or provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, it shall be interpreted to achieve the intent of the parties to this
Agreement to the extent possible rather than voided. In any event, all other terms, conditions, and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the full extent. 


 

	BB.	Each party shall carry out its activities pursuant to this Agreement in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, and
guidelines. 

  

	CC.	Upon the execution of this Agreement, diaDexus shall simultaneously execute a Business Associate Agreement with Lab in a form substantially similar to the ones attached
hereto as Exhibit A. 

  

	DD.	This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.


  

	EE.	To the extent that there is any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any purchase order, the attached Product Addendum, or any other document pertaining
to the supply of Product, the terms of this Agreement shall govern unless specifically acknowledged and agreed to in writing by each of the parties. 

  

	FF.	 Each party to this Agreement represents that (i) it has not been convicted of a criminal offense related to health care, or (ii) is not
currently listed by a federal agency as debarred, excluded or otherwise ineligible for participation in federally funded health care programs. Either party will notify the other in writing within five days of any change in this representation or if
circumstances change to render this representation false during the term of this Agreement. Such change in circumstances will constitute cause by the other party to immediately terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, a party is
defined as the entities entering into this contract, and/or its principals, directors and officers.

 Article II.
Obligations of Contractor 
 2.01 HIPAA Obligations. Contractor acknowledges that federal regulations relating to
the confidentiality of PHI requires Covered Entities and Business Associates to comply with HIPAA. HIPAA requires BHL to ensure that Business Associates who receive confidential information in the course of providing services on behalf of BHL comply
with certain HIPAA obligations regarding the confidentiality of PHI. Accordingly, Contractor shall only use and/or disclose PHI in a manner consistent with this Agreement, the Underlying Agreement, the Privacy Rule, the Security Rule or as Required
by Law and only in connection with providing services hereunder. 
 2.02 Permitted Uses and Disclosures. In connection
with the services provided by Contractor to BHL, Contractor may not use or disclose PHI received or created pursuant to this Agreement as set forth in this Section 2. Contractor shall maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure that PHI is not
used or disclosed other than as provided by this Agreement or as required by Law. Except as may be limited by this Agreement, Contractor may use or disclose PHI it obtains or creates in its capacity as Contractor for the proper management and
administration of the Contractor, to carry out Contractor’s legal responsibilities under the Underlying Agreement and this Agreement; provided that any disclosures are Required by Law. Contractor shall, if it makes a disclosure as permitted
hereunder, (i) provide training to members of Contractor’s workforce regarding the confidentiality requirements in the Privacy Laws, the Security Rule and this Agreement; and (ii) obtain reasonable assurances from the person to whom
the information is disclosed that it will remain confidential and used or further disclosed only for the purpose for which it was disclosed to such person and in accordance with the Privacy Laws, and such person will notify Contractor of any
instances of which it is aware in which the confidentiality of such PHI has been breached. Further, Contractor shall ensure that any use or disclosure of PHI are subject to the principle of “minimum necessary use and disclosure,” i.e.,
only the PHI that is the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of the use, disclosure, or request may be disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Contractor may use PHI to report violations of law to
appropriate federal and state authorities, consistent with 45 C.F.R. §164.502(j)(1), but only to the extent such reports are required by Law and provided that (a) a copy of each such report is provided to BHL and (b) a complete and
accurate summary of any oral disclosure is provided to BHL. 
 Contractor shall require the recipient of any PHI to agree to the
same restrictions and conditions that apply to Contractor under this Agreement as to the PHI, unless BHL agrees to the contrary in writing with respect to a specific release of information. 

2.03 Withdrawal of Authorization. If the use or disclosure of PHI in this Agreement is based upon an individual’s specific
authorization for the use of his or her PHI, and such individual revokes such authorization in writing, or the effective date of such authorization has expired, or the authorization is found to be defective in any manner that renders it invalid, BHL
shall notify Contractor of such revocation, expiration or defect in the authorization and thereafter, Contractor shall cease the use and disclosure of any such individual’s PHI except to the extent it has relied on such use or disclosure, or
where an exception under the Privacy Laws expressly applies. 
 2.04 ePHI Security. Contractor shall do all the
following: 
 (a) Implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately
protect the confidentiality, security, integrity and availability of ePHI that Contractor creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of BHL, which in any event shall be no less than the HIPAA-related implementation recommendations of
the NIST/URAC/WEDI Health Care Security Workgroup (see www.wedi.org; keyword search “NIST” or “URAC”) ; 
 (b) Ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom Contractor provides ePHI agrees in writing to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect ePHI; and

2.05 Access to PHI by Individuals. Contractor shall cooperate with BHL to fulfill all requests by individuals for access to the
individual’s PHI in a Designated Record Set that are approved by BHL. Contractor shall cooperate with BHL in all respects necessary for BHL to comply with applicable Privacy Laws. Because California law requires that copies of requested records
be forwarded to patients within fifteen (15) days of their request, Contractor agrees to forward any copies requested by BHL for this purpose within 5 business days. If Contractor receives a request from an individual for access to PHI,
Contractor promptly shall forward such request to BHL and await BHL’s instructions with respect to denial or approval of such request. BHL shall be solely responsible for determining the scope of PHI and Designated Record Set with respect to
each request by an individual for access to PHI. Upon instruction from BHL, Contractor shall deny such individual’s request or fulfill such individual’s request by providing such individual’s PHI to such individual. BHL shall
reimburse Contractor a portion of the fee charged by BHL to the individual that is proportional to the amount of PHI produced by Contractor in relation to the amount of PHI produced by BHL, less reasonable BHL administrative expenses. 

2.06 Amendment of PHI. As directed and in accordance with the time frames reasonably specified by BHL, Contractor shall
incorporate all amendments or addenda to PHI received from BHL, pursuant to 45 C.F.R. §164.526 and similar applicable Privacy Laws. Within ten (10) business days following Contractor’s amendment of PHI as directed by BHL,
Contractor shall provide written notice to BHL confirming that Contractor has made the amendments or addenda to PHI as directed by BHL and containing any other information as may be necessary for BHL to provide adequate notice to the individual in
accordance with 45 C.F.R. §164.526 and similar applicable Privacy Laws. 
 2.07. Disclosure Accounting. In the event
that Contractor makes any disclosures of PHI that are subject to the accounting requirements of 45 C.F.R. §164.528, Contractor promptly shall report such disclosures to BHL. The notice by Contractor to BHL of the disclosure shall include the
name of the individual, the recipient, and the reason for disclosure, and the date of the disclosure. Contractor shall maintain a record of each such disclosure, including the date of the disclosure, the name and, if available, the address of the
recipient of the PHI, a brief description of the PHI disclosed and a brief description of the purpose of the disclosure. Contractor shall maintain this record for a period of six (6) years and make available to BHL upon request in an electronic
format so that BHL may meet its disclosure accounting obligations under 45 C.F.R. §164.528. 
 2.08 Reporting and
Mitigating Unauthorized Uses and Disclosures of PHI. Promptly following its notice of the same, Contractor shall report to BHL any uses, disclosures or risks of disclosure of PHI not authorized by this Agreement of which it becomes aware and,
with respect to ePHI, any security incident, including any attempted or successful unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of ePHI or interference with information system operations all as required by
applicable Privacy Laws and applicable state identity theft laws (e.g., Cal. Civ. Code §1798.82). Contractor agrees to mitigate, to the extent practicable, the deleterious effects of any use or disclosure of PHI not authorized by this
Agreement. 
 2.09 Ownership of Information. As between Contractor and BHL, all PHI and ePHI shall be deemed owned
by BHL unless otherwise agreed in writing by BHL. During the term of this Agreement, Contractor and any authorized subcontractors shall have the right to use the PHI and ePHI solely for the purposes of this Agreement. Contractor and its
agents shall not have the right to de-identify the PHI and/or ePHI unless agreed in writing by BHL. 
 2.10 Internal
Practices, Books, and Records. Contractor shall make available its internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and disclosure of PHI received from, created, or received by Contractor on behalf of BHL to the U.S. Department of
Heath and Human Services or his designee for the purpose of determining BHL’s compliance with 45 C.F.R. pt. 160 and 164, subparts A and E and amendments thereto.

 2.11 BHL’s Obligations.

 (a) BHL shall notify Contractor of any limitation(s) in its notice of privacy practices of BHL in accordance with 45 C.F.R.

affiliates. If the parties determine that returning or destroying the PHI is infeasible, Contractor shall provide to BHL notification of the specific conditions that make return or destruction infeasible. Contractor shall extend the protections
provided under this Agreement to such PHI and/or ePHI, and limit further use or disclosure of such PHI and/or ePHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction of the PHI and/or ePHI infeasible. Contractor shall require
that its agents, affiliates, subsidiaries and subcontractors agree to the extension of all protections, limitations and restrictions required of Contractor hereunder to the extent such agents, affiliates, subsidiaries or subcontractors are in
possession of such PHI and/or ePHI. This Section 3.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
