faith appropriate adjustments to the price of Material hereunder to respond to such change in cost

initiatives.

CT and HDI for those three months. (If HDI has open purchase orders for a forward three month
period; the purchase orders will supersede the rolling forecast) CT acknowledges that forecast
quantities beyond three months are estimates only and are not binding on either party.

4.5 Orders – HDI shall issue a purchase order for Material deliveries. All terms and conditions of
such purchase orders are hereby incorporated into this Agreement, except that if the terms and
conditions of the purchase order are in conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

Section V : Confidential Information

5.1 From time to time during the term of the Agreement, Supplier may acquire confidential
information from HDI respecting the business of HDI and the manufacture and distribution of the
Products. Supplier shall not disclose and shall not allow access to any such confidential
information to or by any third person, firm, or corporation, excepting those of its employees,
sub-distributors, agents or representatives for whom such information is necessary for the
performance of their duties to distribute and then only to the extent such disclosure is necessary
and to the extent that the employees have agreed to be bound by the same confidentiality agreement
herein. At all times during the term hereof and thereafter, Supplier shall observe strict
confidentiality relating to any disclosed confidential information of HDI and shall require any
persons who are or become its employees, sub-distributors or agents to observe strict
confidentiality with respect thereto.

5.2 The following information is not considered Confidential Information:

	a)	 	information which, at the time of disclosure, can be proven is in the public domain;
	 
	b)	 	information which, after disclosure, becomes part of the public domain by publication or
otherwise, except by breach of this Agreement;
	 
	c)	 	information which the Supplier can establish by competent proof was in its possession at the
time of disclosure by HDI, and was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from HDI; or
	 
	d)	 	information which the Supplier received from third parties who had legal possession of such
Confidential Information; however, provided that such information was not obtained by said
party, indirectly or directly, from HDI.

 

 

5.3 The parties hereto have previously entered into a separate Confidentiality Agreement which is
attached hereto as Exhibit B. The terms of this Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to govern
the relationship of the Parties to this Agreement for all Confidential Information as that term is
used in the Confidentiality Agreement until the termination of this Agreement.

Section VI : Modifications

6.1 The Parties understand and agree that this Agreement cannot be modified or altered except by
another written agreement executed by each of the Parties hereto. In the case of HDI, written
authorization for any and all modifications to this Agreement must come from a current corporate
officer of HDI, regardless of what HDI officer may initially have executed this Agreement.

6.2 The ability to control modifications is a material consideration for HDI entering into this
Agreement. ANY MODIFICATIONS WHICH DO NOT STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION
SHALL NOT BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST HDI. Any invoices, proposals, or similar documents received by
HDI in relation to this Agreement, even though they may be received and even paid, are hereby
deemed by the Parties to be solely for administrative purposes and are not sufficient to modify any
portion of this Agreement whatsoever. To the extent that any such invoices, proposals, or similar
documents contain additional terms or conditions, they will not be binding in any respect upon HDI.
To the extent they may be received or paid without objection by HDI, they are being received or
paid solely as an accommodation to SUPPLIER.

Section VII : Waiver

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against HDI unless (1) it is in a
separate writing (not merely a part of an invoice, proposal, or similar document), (2) it is signed
by all Parties, and (3) it specifically references a waiver of this Agreement by name.

Section VIII : Time is of the Essence

Time is of the essence in this Agreement and is an important consideration for Home Diagnostics,
Inc. in entering into this Agreement.

Section IX : Assignments and Delegations

Neither the SUPPLIER nor HDI shall assign or transfer, or purport to assign or transfer, any of
their rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

 

All rights and obligations provided under XIV of this Agreement regarding warranties and
indemnification shall survive all assignments or transfers permitted under this section.

For purposes of this section, a change of 51% or more of ownership is deemed an assignment.

Section XI : Successors and Assigns

This Agreement binds and benefits the Parties and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, except for those purported
assignments prohibited or excluded under Section .

Section XII : Force Majeure

Either party may, without liability, delay performance on account of a force majeure or other
circumstances beyond its control including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, riot, fire,
earthquake, explosion, flood, strike, lockout, court injunction, or the unavailability of services,
personnel, products, or materials. In such event, however, the party seeking the delay must notify
the other party in writing within two days of the alleged event with sufficient particularity to
describe the condition and the efforts made to overcome it.

Agreement, by the Indemnitor, or consequent upon or arising from any acts, omissions, neglect or

shall select an arbitrator and such arbitrators shall then select a third arbitrator to serve as
sole arbitrator; provided that if either party, in such event, fails to select an arbitrator within
seven (7) days, such arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA upon application of either party.
Judgment upon the award of the agreed upon arbitrator or the so chosen third arbitrator, as the
case may be, shall be binding and shall be entered into by a court of competent jurisdiction. The
parties agree to abide by any decision rendered in any such arbitration as final and binding and
waive the right to submit the dispute to a public tribunal for a jury or non-jury trial.

     THIS

HOME DIAGNOSTICS, INC, a Delaware Corporation, with its offices at 2400 NW 55th Court,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309 (hereinafter a “PARTY” or the “PARTIES”).

     WHEREAS, the PARTIES are interested in exchanging information that both PARTIES consider
confidential and in which they have proprietary interests; and

     WHEREAS, the PARTIES desire to establish terms and conditions that shall govern the exchange of
such information between the PARTIES hereto;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein,  the PARTIES do
hereby agree as follows:

1. Confidential Information

1.1 As used in this AGREEMENT, “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” shall include, without limitation, all
business, economic, financial, investment, marketing, pricing or sales information, including any
forecasts, outlooks, plans, projections, prospects, recommendations, reports, studies or strategies
relating thereto, released or unreleased products, designs, processes, specifications, methods or
systems, customer information, research or development information, algorithms, programming codes,
formulas, hardware, software, scientific data, technical or test data, clinical or research data
and strategies, third party confidential information, trade secrets or any other know-how that is
disclosed to the undersigned either orally, through observation during visits to facilities of the
other party, or in diagram, electronic, written or other recorded form.

1.2 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION that is disclosed in diagram, electronic, written or other recorded
form shall be marked visibly as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “PROPRIETARY” or with any other appropriate
legend indicating the confidential nature of the information.

1.3 Oral disclosures of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or visual observation of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
during visits to a party’s facilities shall be identified by the disclosing party as CONFIDENTIAL,
and the PARTIES hereby agree to use reasonable efforts to provide written summaries of the
proprietary or confidential content of all oral disclosures or visual observations made during such
visits. Failure to provide such summaries shall not affect the nature of the CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION disclosed or detract from the protection afforded under this AGREEMENT if such
information was identified as confidential or proprietary when orally disclosed.

1.4 As used in this AGREEMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall also include the existence and terms of this AGREEMENT, the circumstances of the PARTIES leading to this
AGREEMENT and the terms of any business relationship that may result from entering into this
AGREEMENT.

 

 

1.5 Notwithstanding all of the above, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION excludes such information that: (a)
is at the time of disclosure, or thereafter, becomes a part of the public domain by publication or
otherwise without a beach of this AGREEMENT by the receiving party; (b) is known by the receiving
party at the time of disclosure or is developed independently by the receiving party and is
evidenced by documentation that was in the receiving party’s
possession before disclosure; or (c)
is disclosed by a third party with a lawful right to make such disclosure.

2. Use of Confidential Information

2.1 Each PARTY agrees to protect all disclosed CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION by using the same degree
of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as it would to protect its own CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION of a similar nature.

2.2 Each PARTY agrees to limit its use of any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION received from the
disclosing party for the purpose of evaluating the possibility of forming a joint business
relationship or other commercial arrangement between the PARTIES, and for no other purpose unless
the PARTIES shall otherwise agree in writing.

2.3 Each PARTY agrees not to disclose, disseminate, duplicate, reveal, transfer, license or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any portion of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
disclosed to it to any other business, individual, government agency, or firm without first obtaining written
permission from the disclosing party.

2.4 Each PARTY agrees to maintain in confidence and not to disclose any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
received from the disclosing party other than to those officers, employees or representatives of
the receiving party who have a need to know for the purposes provided herein.

2.5 Each PARTY further agrees not to make, use, sell or offer for sale any product or service
based upon the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION provided to it from the disclosing party without first
executing a written license agreement.

2.6 In addition, each PARTY agrees not to reverse engineer or disassemble any technology that is
disclosed to it by the disclosing party.

3. Ownership of Confidential Information

3.1 All CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is and remains the property of the disclosing party. Each PARTY
agrees to return to the disclosing party immediately upon termination of this AGREEMENT or upon
written request, all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed to it including all copies made thereof.

3.2 Nothing in this AGREEMENT shall be construed to establish or require the establishment of a
contract or agreement for any transfer, license, purchase or other commercial arrangement relating
to the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION between the PARTIES hereto.

3.3 Neither the execution of this AGREEMENT nor the furnishings of any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
hereunder shall be construed as granting either expressly or by implication, estoppel, or
otherwise, any license or other right or title to any invention, patent, trademark, or trade name or
other technology now or hereafter owned by the disclosing party.

4. Disclosure Required by Law

In the event a receiving party is requested or required either by oral questions, interrogatories,
requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or other process to
disclose any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION provided under this AGREEMENT, the receiving party shall,
unless prohibited by law, promptly notify the disclosing party of such request or requirement in
writing so that the disclosing party may seek an appropriate protective order, and/or waive
compliance with the terms of this AGREEMENT by the receiving party for this purpose.

5. Entire Agreement

5.1 This AGREEMENT constitutes the entire agreement between the PARTIES and supercedes all prior
agreements, written or oral, between the PARTIES relating to the subject matter of this AGREEMENT.

5.2 This AGREEMENT shall not be amended, changed or modified in whole or in part, except by a
subsequent agreement in writing executed by the PARTIES.

6. Representations or Warranties

6.1 The PARTIES make no representations or warranties with respect to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
disclosed under this AGREEMENT.

6.2 The PARTIES represent that there are no agreements or contracts with third parties that would
conflict with this AGREEMENT, or that would otherwise hinder the progression of discussions under this AGREEMENT.

7. Waiver

Neither party shall be deemed to have waived any term or provision of this AGREEMENT unless such
waiver is reduced to writing. The waiver of a term or provision of this AGREEMENT by a party on one
occasion shall not constitute a continuing waiver thereof or a waiver as to other terms or
provisions hereof.

8. Severability

The provisions of this AGREEMENT shall be severable, and if any of them is held to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to cure such
invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of one provision shall not affect any other
provision of this AGREEMENT.

9. Term and Termination of Agreement

This AGREEMENT shall commence as of the EFFECTIVE DATE specified above and will continue until
terminated in writing by the PARTIES.

exchanged via electronic facsimile machines, and an electronic facsimile of a party’s signature
shall be deemed an original signature for all purposes.
