Agreement
Article 1. COMPONENTS and services for [***]
This Article 1 shall apply to COMPONENTS delivered for [***] but not for COMPONENTS delivered for MRgRT systems, which will continue to be governed by Section 2 of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT.
1.1 | VIEWRAY shall furnish to SIEMENS a forecast indicating its demand of COMPONENTS for the period of the next [***] following signature of this Contract Amendment No. 6. If SIEMENS does not object the forecast in writing within fifteen |
(15) Business Days after receipt of the forecast the forecast will be accepted by SIEMENS and SIEMENS will consider the forecast when planning its production capacities. In this case VIEWRAY may assume that SIEMENS will accept purchase orders within this scope. VIEWRAY shall place its orders in writing to SIEMENS and SIEMENS shall acknowledge these orders within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, as far as they do not exceed the forecast accepted by SIEMENS. Section 2.3-2.6 of the Supply Agreement, as well as Articles 2 to 16 of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT shall apply respectively to the delivery of COMPONENTS unless otherwise agreed in this Contract Amendment No. 6. |
1.2 | SIEMENS will consider reasonable requests for technical assistance services from VIEWRAY concerning COMPONENTS for the [***]. If VIEWRAY requests such technical assistance services and SIEMENS agrees to provide such technical assistance services itself, or through its wholly-owned indirect U.S. subsidiary, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., then VIEWRAY shall pay for such technical assistance services at the rates established at the commencement of each request for services pursuant to this Article 1.2. VIEWRAY shall [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, SIEMENS shall not be obligated to agree to the provision of technical assistance services. The provision of technical assistance services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of SIEMENS for the provision of services applicable at the commencement of such technical assistance services. |
Article 2. Deviations from the SUPPLY AGREEMENT
This Article 2 shall apply to COMPONENTS delivered for MRgRT systems as well as to COMPONENTS delivered for [***].
Article 10 of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT shall be deleted and replaced as follows:
“10.1 | BUYER shall be responsible for its use of COMPONENTS and shall verify whether such use infringes any third party patent, utility models or copyright (hereinafter “Protective Rights”). |
10.2 | If a third party raises claims against SELLER and/or its subsidiaries for infringement of Protective Rights that are based on BUYER’S use of the COMPONENTS in its MRgRT systems or[***] (including but not limited to inducement to infringement and/or contributory infringement), then BUYER shall indemnify and hold harmless SELLER and/or its subsidiaries of any damages, including reasonable attorney fees and other legal costs and expenses as well as appropriate license fees, incurred by SELLER; for the avoidance of doubt, BUYER shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless or defend SELLER and/or its subsidiaries against any claim if that claim is (i) solely based on the fact that the COMPONENT itself infringes a Protective Right and is (ii) independent from the use of the COMPONENT in the MRgRT systems or[***]. |
10.3 | SELLER does not assume any liability with regard to the MRgRT systems and/or[***] developed and/or sold by BUYER. Section 10.2 shall apply likewise in case |
[***] 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.
a third party raises claims against SELLER for personal injury, damages to property, loss of business or revenue and/or any other damages caused by the use of the MRgRT systems and/or[***]. |
10.4 | In any claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, SELLER must give BUYER prompt written notice of any claim or proceeding with respect to which it believes it is entitled to seek indemnification. The BUYER shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the BUYER and reasonably satisfactory to the SELLER, provided that (i) the SELLER agrees to that assumption of the defense, which agreement shall not be unreasonably be withheld and (ii) the BUYER acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the SELLER for the claim that is the subject of such notice and that (iii) the defense of such claim takes into account the reasonable interests of SELLER. Should the BUYER so elect to assume the defense of a claim, the BUYER shall also be liable to the SELLER for legal expenses which SELLER incurs if a separate representation of the SELLER in the settlement is appropriate because SELLER, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, has determined that a conflict of interest or reasonable business interests of SELLER make separate representation by the SELLER’S own counsel advisable. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the BUYER assumes such defense, the SELLER may, at its sole option and expense, participate in such defense and employ separate counsel, and further agrees to cooperate in the conduct of any such defense. |
If the BUYER assumes such defense, the BUYER shall have the right to settle such claim, in its discretion, with a full release of the SELLER and no admission of liability; provided that the BUYER shall obtain the written consent prior to settling any claim of the SELLER, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Parties agree that it would not be unreasonable withheld the consent if the SELLER would (i) become subject to injunctive or other equitable relief, or any monetary or in-kind obligations, or (ii) if the business of the SELLER would be adversely affected in any manner. |
The BUYER has no obligation to indemnify in connection with any settlement made by SELLER without the BUYER’S written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.” |
Article 3. Export Control
This Article 3 shall apply to COMPONENTS delivered for MRgRT systems as well as to COMPONENTS delivered for [***].
3.1 | If VIEWRAY transfers COMPONENTS delivered by SIEMENS or technical assistance services performed by SIEMENS or its wholly-owned indirect U.S. subsidiary, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. to a third party VIEWRAY shall comply with all applicable national and international (re-) export control regulations.

3.5 | VIEWRAY shall indemnify and hold harmless SIEMENS and its subsidiaries from and against any claim, proceeding, action, fine, loss, cost and damages arising out of or relating to any noncompliance with export control regulations by VIEWRAY, and VIEWRAY shall compensate SIEMENS and its subsidiaries for all losses and expenses resulting thereof. Section 10.4 shall apply. |
Article 4. Safety
