Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
     WHEREAS, pursuant to that Amendment No. 1 to Development and License Agreement dated March 3, 2008, ADC and Insulet amended their original Development and License Agreement to provide for an exclusive relationship in the United States and Israel pursuant to which Insulet would not market, promote, offer for sale, sell or distribute a Product with any DBGM other than an ADC DBGM; and
     WHEREAS, in connection with that same Amendment No. 1 the parties agreed on certain commercial terms and conditions pursuant to which ADC would compensate Insulet for certain services performed by Insulet for New Customers and Upgrade Customers in the United States and Israel; and
     WHEREAS, ADC and Insulet now desire to further amend the Agreement to enable Insulet to, directly or indirectly, market and sell, on a non-exclusive basis in the Expansion Territory, the Product (which as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date is marketed and sold by Insulet as the OmniPod Insulin Management System) with a Remote Controller that includes an ADC DBGM (which as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date is (i) made up of the FreeStyle Glucose Engine and the FreeStyle Test Strip Port, and (ii) uses the FreeStyle Test Strip or the FreeStyle Lite Test Strip to measure blood glucose values); and
     WHEREAS, ADC and Insulet have also decided that they wish for Insulet to provide certain services for New Customers in the Expansion Territory, on such commercial terms and conditions as the parties deem appropriate in the Expansion Territory in consideration of the nature of the services and the markets and conditions in which they will be provided; and
     WHEREAS, ADC and Insulet desire to incorporate into the Agreement certain of the terms of that letter agreement dated May 27, 2010, and agreed and acknowledged on June 8, 2010 (“Letter Agreement”) regarding the provision by ADC to Insulet of certain no-charge meters for Insulet to provide to its end-user customers in the United States; and
