 Exhibit 10.35 
 SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 This SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and
effective January 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Masimo Laboratories, a Delaware corporation (“Labs”), and Masimo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Corp”) (each a
“Party,” and collectively the “Parties”). 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, Corp is in the business of, among other things, developing and distributing products in connection with the non-invasive measurement and
monitoring of vital signs; 
 WHEREAS, Labs was formed for the purpose of, among other things, developing non-invasive non-vital signs
technologies; and 
 WHEREAS, Corp and Labs are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Cross-Licensing Agreement dated as of
approximately the date of this Agreement (the “Cross License Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this
Agreement, pursuant to which Corp shall provide to Labs certain management support services, such as purchasing, accounting, tax, human resources (“HR”), legal and other services. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1 
 DEFINITIONS 
 Section 1.1 Unless
otherwise defined herein, all terms shall have the same meaning as defined in the Cross License Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 2 
 SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 Section 2.1
Engagement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Labs may from time to time engage Corp to perform certain professional and management support services (the “Services”) on Labs’ behalf. In engaging Corp
to perform particular Services, the Parties may enter into one or more written statements of work (each a “Statement of Work”) pursuant to which such Services shall be performed. Upon execution thereof by authorized representatives
of Labs and Corp, each Statement of Work shall be deemed incorporated herein in its entirety. Any Services commenced during the Term (as defined in Section 7.1) of this Agreement or performed pursuant to a Statement of Work entered into by the
Parties during the Term of this 








 
Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to any modifications of such terms and conditions pursuant to a Statement
of Work for such Services. Labs hereby engages Corp to perform the Services described in the initial Statement of Work attached as Exhibit A. Unless otherwise specified in a Statement of Work, any project work under a Statement of Work will be
billed at the completion of the work, or taken as a deduction from amounts due to Labs from Corp. It is contemplated that Services on the initial Statement of Work will be paid or deducted from amounts due on a quarterly basis; provided, however,
that the Parties may agree to modify this arrangement pursuant to request by either Party and as determined after good faith discussions 
 Section 2.2 Project Requirements. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to establish each Statement of Work, which shall describe the Services to be performed under such Statement of Work, and the detailed requirements of such
Services. 
 Section 2.3 Conflict. In the event that the provisions of a Statement of Work conflict with the provisions of this
Agreement, the provision of the Statement of Work shall govern solely to the extent of any such conflict, and solely with respect to the particular Services being performed under such Statement of Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
any Statement of Work conflicts with the provisions of the Cross License Agreement, the provisions of the Cross License Agreement shall prevail. 
 Section 2.4 Modifications to Statements of Work. Labs may at any time make reasonable changes to the scope and requirements of the Services, or request Corp to perform additional Services. Labs shall promptly communicate such changes
to Corp, and Corp shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, provide Labs with a revised Statement of Work reflecting the changes and related costs of the changes as requested by Labs, and a schedule for completion of such Services. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 PERSONNEL 
 Section 3.1 Project Managers. Upon request, each Party shall designate a manager for the Services to be performed under each Statement of Work
(each a “Project Manager”). Each Project Manager shall be deemed to have authority to issue, execute, grant or provide any approvals, requests, notices or other communications required hereunder or requested by the other Party in
connection with the Services under such Statement of Work. The requirements under this Section are not necessary while Labs and Corp share the same CEO. 
 Section 3.2 Work Policy. Personnel of Corp working on Labs’ premises shall (i) comply with Labs’ safety, security and other regulations and policies applicable to its outside contractors, and
(ii) be advised by Corp of the confidentiality obligations hereunder. Personnel of Corp, when deemed appropriate by Labs, shall be issued visitor identification cards. Corp and its Personnel, upon demand by Labs, shall surrender each such card
to Labs. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Personnel of Corp shall observe the working hours, working rules, and holiday schedules of Labs while working on Labs’ premises. The obligations of this paragraph apply similarly to Labs
employees.

 Section 3.3 Independent Contractor. Corp shall be acting as an independent contractor in
performing the Services and shall not be considered or deemed an agent, employee, joint venturer, or partner of Labs. Neither Party has, or shall represent that it has, any power, right or authority to bind the other Party to any obligation or
liability, or to assume or create any obligation or liability on behalf of the other Party. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 PAYMENT AND OTHER TERMS 
 Section 4.1
Basis for Payment. Corp’s fees for performing Services (“Service Fees”) shall be either on a “time-and-materials” basis, a “cost-plus” basis or on a “fixed-fee” basis, or on a combination
thereof, as specified in the Statement of Work applicable to such Services, provided, however, that the total of all Service Fees and Expenses (as defined in Section 4.2) invoiced to Labs under a Statement of Work shall not exceed any
cap set forth in such Statement of Work. If unspecified, Corp’s fees for performing Services shall be on a “cost-plus” basis. 
 Section 4.2 Expenses. To the extent a Statement of Work does not specifically specify otherwise, Corp shall be reimbursed by Labs for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Corp in the performance of Services
(“Expenses”). 
 Section 4.3 Service Fees and Invoices. Corp shall invoice Labs quarterly for Service Fees and
Expenses (i) as incurred, for “cost-plus” and “time-and-materials” Services, or (ii) pursuant to the milestone and/or payment schedule set forth in the Statement of Work for “fixed-fee” Services. Labs shall
pay all amounts due on each invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof. 
 Section 4.4 Disputes Regarding Invoices. In
the event that Labs in good faith disputes an invoice submitted by Corp, Labs may withhold payment of any amount subject to the dispute, and if Corp owes Labs at the time, Corp may deduct the same from amounts due to Labs; provided,
however, that (i) Labs shall continue to pay all undisputed amounts in accordance with the terms hereof, and (ii) Corp shall continue to perform its obligations hereunder. In the event of a dispute regarding the amount of any
invoice, the Parties shall utilize the same dispute resolution terms as set forth in the Cross License Agreement, which provides for binding arbitration. No failure by Labs to identify contested charges prior to payment thereof shall limit or waive
any of Labs’ rights or remedies with respect to such charges. Unpaid fees that are in good-faith dispute shall not be considered a basis for default hereunder 
 Section 4.5 Taxes. Each Party shall be responsible for payment of its own taxes arising out of its activities in connection with this Agreement, including federal and state taxes, social security taxes,
unemployment insurance taxes and any other taxes or business license fees that may be required. 
 Section 4.6 Audits. As Corp’s
services to Labs will include accounting and the creation of financial statements, Labs shall have the right to conduct an audit of the relevant books of Labs as prepared by Corp through an independent third-party accounting firm at any time up to


  

 3 








 
three (3) months after termination of this Agreement. Corp shall provide reasonable assistance to Labs in connection with any such audit. If any such
audit reveals that Corp has over-billed Labs, Corp shall promptly refund to Labs such over-billed amount plus interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum. If any such audit reveals that Corp has under-billed Labs, Labs shall promptly
refund to Corp such under-billed amounts plus interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum. 
 Section 4.7 Insurance. Corp
shall provide insurance coverage, as requested by Labs in any Statement of Work. Corp shall not be responsible for any damages or losses incurred by Labs to the extent such insurance does not fully cover any such damages or losses incurred by Labs.

 Section 4.8 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO INSTANCES OF WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NEITHER PARTY HERETO SHALL HAVE
ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF CORP UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CLAIMS, INDIVIDUALLY OR IN THE
AGGREGATE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF SERVICE FEES RECEIVED BY CORP IN THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE ACCRUAL OF SUCH CLAIM. CORP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE QUALITY OR RESULTS OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT 
 ARTICLE 5

 EXHIBIT A 
 STATEMENT OF WORK

of Labs. Examples of such expenses include: 
  

	 	•	 	 Direct Payroll and related payroll expenses for Corp employees dedicated to Labs, or for Labs employees for which Corp treats as Corp employees.



  

	 	•	 	 Outside Consulting Fees for Labs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Engineering Supplies directly related to Labs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Legal/Patent fees directly related to Labs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Tax fees directly related to Labs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Accounting fees directly related to Labs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Travel and Entertainment expenses directly related to Labs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Office Supplies directly related to Labs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Capital equipment purchases specified for Labs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Stock Options (FAS123R) expenses related directly to employees dedicated to Labs incurred by Corp. 


  

	 	•	 	 Insurance expenses for business and employees. 


  

	 	•	 	 Costs to file tax returns, and amounts for taxes paid. 


  

	 	•	 	 Third party audit costs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Stock option charges and costs, if any. 


 These
direct charges will be consolidated by Corp on a quarterly basis and will provide the support to the quarterly billing from Corp to Labs. 
 2. Indirect
Charges – Miscellaneous support and infrastructure charges based on services provided by Corp employees (i.e., not costs incurred by third parties) to Labs, including without limitation: 
  

	 	•	 	 Engineering support activities 


  

	 	•	 	 Human resources 


  

	 	•	 	 Accounting and Tax 


  

	 	•	 	 Legal 


  

	 	•	 	 MIS 


  

	 	•	 	 Facility 


  

	 	•	 	 Depreciation allocation for Corp assets used by Labs 


 Note: The Engineering, HR, Accounting and Tax, Legal and MIS support activities reflect what is considered to be “normal,” routine support. 
 Based on an analysis performed in January 2007, the allocation cost for these indirect charges will be based on 50% of the direct payroll expenses for Corp employees dedicated to Labs, and the Labs employees treated as Corp employees for
support.

 These indirect charges will be consolidated by Corp on a quarterly basis and will provide the support for the quarterly
billing from Corp to Labs.
