Daewoong shall, and shall ensure that its Sublicensees will, provide Ampio with copies of all final submissions and correspondence to and from all Regulatory Authorities relating to the Products in the Field within seven (7) days of submission or receipt, as applicable, and shall, and shall ensure that its Sublicensees will, provide Ampio a summary of each significant submission (such as application for approval for clinical trials, Regulatory Approval and fast track or orphan drug designation, the protocol for clinical trials and any modifications thereof) in English as soon as practicable but in any event within ten (10) business days after such submission. Each Party shall permit the other Party to access, and shall provide the other Party with rights to reference and use in association with the Products in the Field, all of its, its Affiliates’, and its or their licensees’ and Sublicensees’ regulatory, preclinical and clinical data documentation, Regulatory Filings, and Regulatory Approvals with respect to the Products in the Field.
7.6 Remedial Actions. Each Party will, and will ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees will, notify the other Party immediately, and promptly confirm such notice in writing, if it obtains information indicating that a Product may be subject to any recall, corrective action or other regulatory action with respect to a Product taken by virtue of applicable Law in the Territory (a “Remedial Action”). The Parties (or Daewoong’s Sublicensees and Ampio), as the case may be, will assist each other in gathering and evaluating such information as is necessary to determine the necessity of conducting a Remedial Action. Daewoong shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees will, maintain or have maintained adequate records to permit the Parties to trace the manufacture of the Product and the distribution and, to the extent feasible, the use of the Product. In the event Daewoong or its any Sublicensee determines that any Remedial Action with respect to a Product in the Field in the Territory should be commenced or Remedial Action is required by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the matter, Daewoong will, and will ensure that its Sublicensees will, as the case may be, control and coordinate all efforts necessary to conduct such Remedial Action. In the event Ampio determines that any Remedial Action with respect to a Product outside the Field in the Territory should be commenced or Remedial Action is required by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the matter, Ampio will control and coordinate all efforts necessary to conduct such Remedial Action. For clarity, as between the Parties, Ampio shall have sole discretion with respect to any matters relating to any Remedial Action in the Retained Territory. The cost and expense of a Remedial Action arising from the development, manufacture or commercialization of the Product in the Field in the Territory shall be borne solely by Daewoong or its Sublicensees.

Daewoong shall be responsible for all other costs incurred for any recall, field correction, or withdrawal of any released Product for the Territory. The procedures and consequences of such recalls shall be defined in the Supply Agreement. The Party having the right to control such recall pursuant to this Section 9.8 may, at its sole discretion, take appropriate courses of action, which shall be consistent with the internal SOPs of such Party; provided, however, that such controlling Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any recall action being considered and where practicable, consider the views of the non-controlling Party prior to taking any recall action. Daewoong shall maintain complete and accurate records of any recall according to its then current SOPs in the Territory for such periods as may be required by applicable Laws, but in no event for less than three (3) years.

20.3 Indemnification Procedures. A Party which intends to claim indemnification under Section 20.1 or 20.2 (the ”Indemnitee”) will promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any claim, suit, proceeding or action in respect of which the Indemnitee or any of the other Ampio Indemnitees or Daewoong Indemnitees, as applicable, intend to claim such indemnification within a reasonable period of time after the assertion of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide written notice of such claim within a reasonable period of time will not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure to provide prompt notice. The Indemnitor will have the right to assume the complete control of the defence, compromise or settlement of any such claim (provided that no settlement of any claim will include any admission of wrongdoing on the part of an Indemnitee or the other Ampio Indemnitees or Daewoong Indemnitees, as applicable, or materially and adversely effect the rights of the Indemnitee or the other Ampio Indemnitees or Daewoong Indemnitees, as applicable, in each case without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee, which such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnitor may, at its own expense, employ legal counsel to defend the claim at issue. The Indemnitee may, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, employ legal counsel to represent it and the other Ampio Indemnitees or Daewoong Indemnitees, as applicable (in addition to the legal counsel employed by the Indemnitor) in any such matter, and in such event legal counsel selected by the Indemnitee will be required to confer and cooperate with such counsel of the Indemnitor in such defence, compromise or settlement for the purpose of informing and sharing information with the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee will, at its own expense, make available to Indemnitor those Ampio Indemnitees or Daewoong Indemnitees, as applicable, whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary, useful or appropriate to assist the Indemnitor in evaluating, defending or settling any such claim; provided, however, that any such access will be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the businesses of Indemnitee or the other Ampio Indemnitees or Daewoong Indemnitees, as applicable; and will otherwise fully cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal counsel in the investigation and defence of such claim.
20.4 Insurance. Both Parties will procure and maintain adequate insurance in order to be able to cover claims under this Agreement. Upon request, each Party shall provide proof of adequate coverage to the other Party.
21 Non-assignability
This Agreement is personal to the Parties hereto and shall not be assignable to any Third Party by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that any Party may assign this Agreement in full to an Affiliate of such Party without prior written consent, but with prior written notice, and provided, further, that any Party may assign this Agreement to any entity with which such Party may merge or consolidate (or engage in some other form of corporate combination), or to which it may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates. All successors and permitted assignees of a Party shall be subject to, and will be bound by, all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
