Each Party, at its own costs, shall be responsible for archiving all relevant and required original documentation, notebooks and raw data in relation to the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products. Each Party shall adhere to its internal document and/or records retention policies relating to Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of Licensed Products consistent with applicable Laws. |
4.3. | Right of Reference. Upon Zosano’s request, Lilly shall in good faith reasonably consider granting Zosano a right of reference and access, in the Field and in the Territory, to regulatory filings and clinical data information (“Lilly Regulatory Filings”) Controlled by Lilly or its Affiliates that is necessary to obtain a Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product or is specifically requested by a Regulatory Authority related to the research, Development, use, Manufacture or Commercialization by Zosano, its Affiliates or their respective sublicensees of Licensed Products under this Agreement. Any such right of reference shall not survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Lilly hereby covenants that, during the Term and following the termination (other than by Lilly pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof) or expiration of this Agreement, neither it nor any Affiliate, nor any agent acting on its or its Affiliate’s behalf, shall file, cause to be filed or otherwise assert, or join or assist in any way, financially or otherwise, any party filing or asserting, against Zosano or any Affiliate, or any of their respective Subcontractors, manufacturers, distributors, sublicensees or agents, any administrative or judicial proceeding or claim of infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property right that Covers a Licensed Product, or any other claim interfering with Zosano’s right to Develop or Manufacture the Licensed Technology in the Field in the Territory or seek Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Products under this Agreement (except as precluded under Sections 2.4 and 9.5.4) pursuant to Section 505(b)(2) of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the right |
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. DOUBLE ASTERISKS [**] DENOTE OMISSIONS
6
of reference granted under this Section 4.3 shall continue following termination for this purpose.

4.4. | Letter of Authorization. Pursuant to any right of reference and access provided under Section 4.3, Lilly shall provide a letter of authorization to Zosano, and/or the applicable regulatory agency, as appropriate under applicable Law, in a form mutually acceptable to Zosano and Lilly, within fifteen (15) days of request from Zosano, in respect of the Lilly Regulatory Filings, for use solely in connection with the research, Development, use and Manufacture (including obtaining of Regulatory Approvals) of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly shall not be obligated to provide Zosano copies of any Lilly Forteo® Regulatory Filings to the United States Food & Drug Administration for more than the past five (5) years and such copies shall be limited to the IND Annual Report, Developmental Safety Update Report (DSUR) and Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR). Lilly shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect such letter of authorization and right of reference and access. |
4.5. | Regulatory Diligence. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under the Development Plan in a professional and timely manner with respect to regulatory obligations. Lilly shall have a right but not an obligation to audit or review clinical quality systems, clinical study data and clinical research organizations engaged by Zosano in carrying out the Development Plan. |
4.6. | Regulatory Approval Transfer. Zosano shall exclusively transfer the Regulatory Approvals for Licensed Products to Lilly in order that Lilly can Commercialize the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory in compliance with applicable Law and the Licensed Product’s approved label. The transfer of the Regulatory Approvals shall occur as soon as possible to permit Lilly to timely Commercialize the Daily Product/Licensed Product pursuant to and in compliance with applicable Law. The Parties will work together to minimize launch timing and optimize commercialization by determining the most efficient manner to transfer the Regulatory Approval, including but not limited to, transition activities to be conducted by one or both Parties, at each Party’s expense, prior to the receipt of Regulatory Approval. Lilly hereby grants to Zosano a right of reference and access to such transferred Regulatory Approvals (including all clinical data information referenced therein) solely for purposes outside the Field and unrelated to the treatment of osteoporosis. Zosano shall be permitted to retain copies of such transferred Regulatory Approvals (including clinical data information). Lilly shall provide a letter of authorization to Zosano, in a form mutually acceptable to Zosano and Lilly, within fifteen (15) days of request from Zosano, in respect of such transferred Regulatory Approvals. Lilly shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect such letter of authorization and right of reference and access. This right of reference and access, and Lilly’s obligations under this Section 4.6, shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. |

All requests for support or information from one Party to the other will be routed through and managed by the Alliance Manager in order to minimize disruption to both Parties. Alliance Managers shall be active participants and attend meetings of the JCC and, as appropriate or requested, any subcommittees (and will help set agendas and facilitate meetings, but will not be the chairman, secretary (except with respect to the JCC) or a voting member of any subcommittee). Each Party may change its designated Alliance Manager from time to time upon written notice to the other Party. |

9.2. | Termination by Zosano. Zosano may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3.4 on a country-by-country basis upon written notice to Lilly in the event it determines, in its sole discretion, that it is commercially or scientifically unreasonable to pursue a CSF and discontinues the development of the Daily Product. In accordance with Section 3.3.4, Zosano’s right to terminate under this Section 9.2 expires once Lilly makes the first Development Milestone payment under Section 8.2. |
9.3. | Termination by Lilly. Lilly may terminate this Agreement (i) pursuant to Section 3.3.3 upon written notice to Zosano in the event Zosano is not successful in meeting a CSF or (ii) at any time after the first Development milestone payment has been made under Section 8.2, and upon six (6) months’ prior written notice to Zosano. |
9.4. | Termination for Material Breach. Upon or after the material breach of any provision of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within a sixty (60) day period following written notice of such breach by the non-breaching Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a non-monetary default, if the default is not reasonably capable of being cured within the sixty (60) day cure period by the defaulting Party and such defaulting Party makes a good faith effort to cure such default, the cure period shall be extended from sixty (60) days to ninety (90) days from such original notice of default. If a breach remains uncured after the aforementioned periods of time to cure such breach, then the non-breaching Party shall have the option of terminating this Agreement or continuing under this Agreement (in which case the non-breaching Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement), but in either case the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to recover damages incurred as a result of such breach from the breaching Party pursuant to Section 16.1. If a breach remains uncured after the aforementioned periods of time to cure such breach and the non-breaching Party decides to terminate this Agreement, then all licenses granted hereunder shall automatically terminate and the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to recover damages incurred as a result of such breach from the breaching Party. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as hereinabove provided shall not be affected in any way by its waiver of, or failure to take action with respect to, any previous default. |
9.5. | Effect of Termination. |
9.5.1. | Upon termination of this Agreement by Zosano under Section 9.2, (i) all licenses hereunder shall automatically terminate and (ii) Lilly shall retain the right of reinstatement (as described in Section 9.5.3) and the Proposal (as described in Section 9.5.4). |

15
9.5.2. | Upon termination by Lilly pursuant to Section 9.3, (i) all licenses hereunder shall automatically terminate, (ii) Zosano shall retain all rights to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize, and otherwise use and exploit, Licensed Products, and (iii) the right of reinstatement (as described in Section 9.5.3) and the Proposal (as described in Section 9.5.4) shall each terminate and be of no further force and effect. |
9.5.3. | Right of Reinstatement. In the event Zosano terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 and subsequently wishes to restart Development activities of a Daily Product, then it shall offer Lilly the right to reinstate the terms of this Agreement by providing written notice to Lilly (the “Reinstatement Offer”). If Lilly accepts the Reinstatement Offer by providing written notice of acceptance to Zosano within thirty (30) days after Lilly’s receipt of the Reinstatement Offer, then the terms of this Agreement shall be reinstated automatically. If Lilly does not accept the Reinstatement Offer but instead proposes to Zosano in writing within thirty (30) days after Lilly’s receipt of the Reinstatement Offer new financial terms for the Daily Product, and Zosano accepts such new financial terms, then this Agreement will be reinstated with such new financial terms. If Zosano does not accept Lilly’s proposed new financial terms, then Zosano shall not enter into an agreement to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize a Daily Product with any Third Party prior to August 19, 2019. If Lilly refuses the Reinstatement Offer or fails to propose to Zosano in writing within thirty (30) days after Lilly’s receipt of the Reinstatement Offer new financial terms for the Daily Product, then this Agreement shall remain terminated, Lilly shall have no further rights of reinstatement hereunder and Zosano shall not Commercialize a Daily Product prior to August 19, 2019. |
9.5.4. | New Dosing Duration Proposal. If Zosano determines in good faith during the Term of this Agreement, that a Licensed Product with a New Dosing Duration would be more successful than the Daily Product, then Zosano shall provide written notice thereof to Lilly. If Lilly and Zosano mutually agree to proceed with such New Dosing Duration, then they shall attempt to negotiate new financial terms for the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of such Licensed Product. If Zosano accepts such financial terms, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a definitive agreement for the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of such Licensed Product with a New Dosing Duration (a “Definitive Agreement”). If a Definitive Agreement cannot be entered into or Lilly refuses the initial written notice, then the Parties will not Develop such Licensed Product with a New Dosing Duration during the Term of this Agreement. |
9.5.5. | Accrued Rights. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Parties shall terminate upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any rights or obligations accruing prior to such expiration or termination. |
9.5.6. | Return of Confidential Information. Within thirty (30) days following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party or destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party (and all copies |
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. DOUBLE ASTERISKS [**] DENOTE OMISSIONS
16
and reproductions thereof). In addition, each Party shall destroy (a) that portion of any notes, reports or other documents prepared by such Party which contain Confidential Information of the other Party, and (b) any Confidential Information of the other Party (and all copies and reproductions thereof) which is in electronic form or cannot otherwise be returned to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party and its Representatives (i) may retain solely for compliance purposes copies of the Confidential Information of the other Party in order comply with law or regulation, and (ii) need not destroy electronic archives and backups made in the ordinary course of business where it would be commercially impracticable to do so. Moreover, notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information of the other Party, each Party and its Representatives shall continue to be bound by their obligations of confidentiality and other obligations hereunder. |
9.5.7. | Remedies. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not preclude either Party from claiming any other damages, compensation or other remedies available at law that it may be entitled to upon such expiration or termination. |
9.5.8. | Rights in Bankruptcy. The occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to Zosano, will not, in itself, impact either Party’s license rights under this Agreement, or adversely impact the right of Zosano to receive royalties or milestones. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by either Party to the other Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that each Party, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Subject Party”), the other Party (the “Non-subject Party”) shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, shall be promptly delivered to the Non-subject Party (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the Non-subject Party’s written request therefor, unless the Subject Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Subject Party upon written request therefor by the Non-subject Party. Lilly agrees that in consideration of the rights granted under the license set forth in Section 2.1 it will pay to Zosano all royalty and milestone payments which would have been payable under this Agreement by Lilly with respect to the exercise of its rights under the license granted in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.5.8 are without prejudice to any rights that either Party may have arising under any applicable insolvency statute or other applicable law. |
9.5.9. | Surviving Provisions. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement that expressly provide for certain rights or obligations under this Agreement to survive any termination or expiration of this agreement, the provisions of Sections 1, 2.2, 4.2, 4.3, 4.6, 9.5, 10, 11.1, 13, 14.4, 14.5, 15 and 16 and any accrued rights and obligations under this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms. |

10. | Records And Audit Rights |
10.1. | During the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Lilly shall keep (and cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to keep) complete and accurate books and records pertaining to the sale or other disposition of Licensed Products, in sufficient detail to permit Zosano to confirm the accuracy of payments due to Zosano hereunder, for at least three (3) years following the calendar quarter to which information relates. |
10.2. | Within the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Zosano shall have the right to have a neutral, nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm selected by Zosano subject to approval by Lilly (such approval to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) inspect, not more than once each year, Lilly’s records for the three (3) preceding years for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the royalty and milestone payments to Zosano hereunder. No period will be audited more than once.

If it is determined that additional royalties are owed, or that royalties were overpaid, during such period, Lilly will pay Zosano the additional royalties, or Zosano will pay Lilly the overpaid royalties within thirty (30) days of the date the independent certified public accountants written report is received by the paying party. The fees charged by such accounting firm will be paid by Zosano unless any additional royalties owed exceed five percent (5%) and $100,000 of the royalties paid for the royalty period subject to the audit, in which case Lilly will pay the reasonable fees of the accounting firm. |
10.3. | Within the Term of this Agreement and for a period one (1) year thereafter, Lilly shall have the right to have a neutral, nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm selected by Lilly subject to approval by Zosano (such approval to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) inspect, not more than once each year, Zosano’s records for the three (3) preceding years for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the Manufacturing Costs for such Daily Product or Product Patch hereunder as it may relate to Lilly’s purchase of Daily Product or Product Patch pursuant to Section 6. No period will be audited more than once. Lilly shall submit an audit plan, including audit scope, to Zosano for Zosano’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, prior to audit implementation. The independent certified public accountants shall keep confidential any information obtained during such inspection and shall report to Zosano and Lilly the amounts of Manufacturing Costs. If it is determined that additional money is owed |

or was overpaid during such period, as it may relate to Lilly’s purchases of Daily Product/Product Patch pursuant to Section 6 and the Supply Agreement, then the owing Party shall make payment within thirty (30) days of the date the independent certified public accountants written report is received by the paying party. The fees charged by any such accounting firm will be paid by Lilly unless any overage discovered exceeds five percent (5%) and $100,000 of the amount paid for the Daily Product or Product Patch subject to the audit, in which case Zosano will pay the reasonable fees of the accounting firm. |
11. | Ownership and Prosecution of Intellectual Property |
11.1. | Ownership of Intellectual Property. Zosano shall own exclusively the Licensed Technology. Lilly hereby assigns and agrees to assign its right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Technology to Zosano and shall cause any employees, agents, representatives, advisors or consultants of Lilly and its Affiliates, and their respective sublicensees, to execute formal assignments and any such instruments prepared by Zosano, which Zosano deems necessary to vest its ownership of the Licensed Technology. |
11.2. | Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents. Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2 and any written agreements existing as of the Effective Date with respect to the prosecution of the Licensed Patents, Zosano, at its sole discretion and expense, will file, prosecute, maintain and determine the strategy of prosecution of the Licensed Patents. If requested by the JCC, Zosano shall timely provide the JCC with copies of all material correspondence from any Patent Authority regarding Licensed Patents, provided such material correspondence cannot be obtained from a Patent Authority website. Zosano shall provide Lilly with a copy of any proposed filing with any Patent Authority in connection with proceedings before any Patent Authority with Licensed Patents and shall provide to Lilly a reasonable opportunity (at least ten (10) calendar days) to comment on any such proposed filing with respect to such Licensed Patents, which comments Zosano shall consider in good faith. If Zosano elects to discontinue prosecution or maintenance of any Licensed Patent, Zosano shall so advise Lilly in writing at least sixty (60) calendar days in advance of such discontinuance and, if requested by Lilly, shall discuss with Lilly Zosano’s reasons for such discontinuance. If requested by Lilly, at Lilly’s cost, Zosano will or will authorize Lilly to take action to prevent such abandonment of such Licensed Patent, unless Zosano has a material business or legal reason for not taking such action. |
12. | Enforcement of Intellectual Property |
12.1. | Notice of Infringement; Enforcement of Intellectual Property. Each Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) below) report in writing to the other Party during the Term (i) any known or suspected infringement of, or unauthorized use of, or challenge to, any of the Licensed Technology, (ii) any certification filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(2)(A)(vii) or 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii) (or any amendment or successor statute thereto) claiming |
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. DOUBLE ASTERISKS [**] DENOTE OMISSIONS
19
that any Patent Rights within the Licensed Technology are invalid or otherwise unenforceable, or that infringement will not arise from the manufacture, use, import, offer for sale, or sale of a product by a Third Party, or (iii) without limiting the generality of Section 13, any claim by a Third Party that the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product or the practice by either Party of the Licensed Technology infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of such Third Party, and shall provide the other Party with all available evidence supporting such known or suspected infringement or unauthorized use. For any of the disclosure or notification obligations of the Parties under this Section 12.1, it is understood that all information disclosed under such obligations is covered by the provisions of Section 15, and further that neither Party shall be required, by such obligations, to disclose legally privileged information or information with respect to which such Party is subject to confidentiality or other contractual obligations to Third Parties, unless required to do so by operation of law. |
12.2. | As between Zosano and Lilly, Zosano shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to enforce and/or defend the Licensed Patents. If requested to do so by Zosano, Lilly shall reasonably cooperate with Zosano, at Zosano’s cost, in the enforcement or defense of the Licensed Patents and provide Zosano Reasonable Assistance. Lilly shall be kept reasonably advised at all times of such suit or proceedings brought by Zosano with respect to the Licensed Patents. Within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of an infringement or a lawsuit on the validity of a patent (or, in the case of a certification received pursuant to either 21 U.S.C. §§ 355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or (j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or its successor provisions, or any similar provision in a country in the Territory other than the United States, within ten (10) business days), Zosano shall determine if it or a Third Party shall institute legal action and shall notify Lilly of such determination. If Zosano fails to institute legal action to enforce and/or defend the Licensed Patents within the aforementioned period, then subject to any rights of any Third Party to enforce the Licensed Patents, Lilly shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Zosano to initiate and to conduct such legal action, at Lilly’s sole cost and expense. If Zosano does institute such legal action, but desires at any point in such legal action to cease to continue with such action and no Third Party exercises its right to enforce the Licensed Patents, then Zosano will provide a reasonable written notice to Lilly prior to discontinuing such action. The foregoing will be subject in its entirety to the rights of any Third Party to enforce the Licensed Patents under any written agreement existing as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, to ALZA Corporation’s rights under Sections 7.4 and 7.5 of the ALZA Agreement relating to infringement claims. |
12.3. | Conduct of Enforcement. If Lilly is required under any law to join any such legal action initiated by Zosano or if the failure of Lilly to become a party to such suit, action or proceeding would in the opinion of counsel to the Zosano risk dismissal thereof, Lilly shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to permit the litigation to be initiated or conducted (including initiating a suit before a court or tribunal at the Zosano’s request or permitting Zosano or any Third Party with rights to enforce the Licensed Patents under written agreement with Zosano as of the Effective Date, initiate a legal action in the name of itself and |
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. DOUBLE ASTERISKS [**] DENOTE OMISSIONS
20
Lilly), and Zosano shall reimburse Lilly for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses relating to its joining thereto and participation therein. If Lilly is required to be joined as a party in any action initiated by Zosano, then upon the request of Zosano, Lilly shall waive any objection to such joinder on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue, or forum non conveniens. |
12.4. | Settlement and Recoveries. The party enforcing and/or defending the Licensed Patents may enter into any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any action contemplated by this Section 12.2 without Lilly’s prior consent; provided, however, that (i) Lilly receives a general release of any claims against it in such proceeding and is promptly provided thereafter a copy of such settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition, and (ii) such settlement does not have a material adverse impact on the rights granted to Lilly hereunder or on the scope or enforceability of the Licensed Patents or result in a payment or other liability or admission by Lilly to a Third Party. Any other settlement, consent judgment or voluntary final disposition of any proceeding under Section 12 by the Party enforcing and/or defending the Licensed Patents shall require the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to any suit or action regarding the Licensed Technology as set forth in the above, any recovery obtained by Lilly or Zosano as a result of any such proceeding, by settlement or otherwise, shall (x) first be used to reimburse Lilly and Zosano for their reasonable costs and legal fees incurred in the conduct of such proceedings, and (y) any remaining proceeds shall be allocated equally (50/50) between the Parties. |
12.5. | Trademarks. Lilly shall have the sole right to develop trademarks and trade dress in connection with the Commercialization of any Licensed Product in the Territory, and Lilly shall own such trademarks and trade dress, and all associated goodwill, and shall prosecute, maintain and enforce such trademarks and trade dress at its own cost and discretion. Lilly shall provide Zosano with the trademark and trade dress information necessary to apply for Regulatory Approvals and the parties shall cooperate in the preparation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zosano shall promptly notify Lilly of any known, threatened or suspected infringement, imitation or unauthorized use of or unfair competition relating to such trademarks and trade dress, and shall cooperate with Lilly and use reasonable efforts to assist Lilly in the protection of such trademarks and trade dress, if such additional cooperation or assistance is reasonably requested by Lilly and at Lilly’s cost. |
12.6. | Inventorship. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, inventorship shall be determined in accordance with U.S. patent law. |
13. | Indemnification |
13.1. | Indemnification by Lilly. Lilly agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Zosano and its Affiliates, and their respective sublicensees, officers, directors, employees, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Zosano Indemnitees”), from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including reasonable legal costs (“Losses”), to which the Zosano |

13.2. | Indemnification by Zosano. Zosano shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lilly and its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees, officers, directors, employees, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Lilly Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses to which the Lilly Indemnitees may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party (a) arising out of (i) the negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of Zosano, its Affiliates and/or its sublicensees (excluding Lilly) and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, in connection with Zosano’s performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement; (ii) the Development and Manufacture of Licensed Products by Zosano, its Affiliates or Subcontractors; or (iii) any breach by Zosano of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses result from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lilly, or (y) material breach of this Agreement by Lilly, or (z) any claim by a Third Party alleging that the grant of rights by Lilly to Zosano under this Agreement violates or conflicts with the terms of any license or other grant of rights by Lilly to such Third Party. |
