Any purported assignment by a party of this Agreement, or any of such party’s rights or obligations hereunder, in violation of this Article 17 shall be void.

ARTICLE 18. INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

18.1 Indemnity by AgeX. AgeX shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BioTime, its Affiliates (other than AgeX and AgeX’s subsidiaries), and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each a “BioTime Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all Claims arising from or occurring as a result of the death or injury of any person caused or resulting (or allegedly caused or resulting) from the use of any AgeX Product:

(a) any default by AgeX of its obligations under this Agreement;

(b) any breach by AgeX of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, AgeX shall not be required to indemnify BioTime, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any Claim to the extent such Claim are attributable to any of the matters as to which BioTime has an obligation to indemnify AgeX or for which the negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of any law by any Person other than AgeX an AgeX Indemnified Party contributed to the death or injury that is the subject of the Claim.

Execution Version

18.2 Indemnity by BioTime. BioTime shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AgeX, its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all costs, claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of legal proceedings) (collectively, “Claims”), in connection with any and all suits, actions, investigations, claims or demands of Third Parties arising from or occurring as a result of death or injury of any person caused or resulting from the use of any BioTime Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BioTime shall not be required to indemnify AgeX, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any Claims to the extent such Claims are attributable to any of the matters as to which AgeX has an obligation to indemnify BioTime or for which AgeX’s negligence or willful misconduct contributed to the Claim.

18.3 Indemnification Procedures.

a) Notice of Claim. In the event of any claim, action or proceeding for which a Person is entitled to indemnity hereunder, the Person seeking indemnity (“Claimant”) shall promptly notify the relevant Party (“Indemnitor”) of such matter in writing, but in no event shall the Indemnitor be liable for any Claim that result from any delay in providing such notice.

b) Control of Defense. As its option, Indemnitor may then assume responsibility for and shall have full control of such matter by giving notice to Claimant within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitor’s receipt of notice from Claimant. The assumption of the defense of a Claim by the Indemnitor shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that Indemnitor is liable to indemnify Claimant in respect of the Third Party claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by Indemnitor of any defenses it may assert against Claimant’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party claim, Indemnitor may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Claim any legal counsel selected by Indemnitor. In the event Indemnitor assumes the defense of a Third Party claim, Claimant shall immediately deliver to Indemnitor all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by Claimant in connection with the Third Party claim. Should Indemnitor assume the defense of a Third Party claim, except as provided below, Indemnitor shall not be liable to Claimant for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Claimant in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitor is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Claimant from and against the Third Party claim, Claimant shall reimburse Indemnitor for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Third Party claims incurred by Indemnitor in its defense of the Third Party claim. Without limiting the foregoing, any Claimant shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at Claimant’s own expense unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Indemnitor in writing, (b) Indemnitor has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with this Section 14.4.2 (in which case Claimant shall control the defense) or (c) the interests of Claimant and Indemnitor with respect to such Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under applicable law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

Execution Version

c) Settlement. With respect to any Claim relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Claim and that shall not result in Claimant’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affecting the business of Claimant in any manner, and as to which Indemnitor shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify Claimant hereunder, Indemnitor shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Claim, on such terms as Indemnitor, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Claim, where Indemnitor has assumed the defense of the Claim in accordance with Section 9.4(b), Indemnitor shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Claim, provided it obtains the prior written consent of Claimant (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Claim by Claimant that is reached without the written consent of Indemnitor. Regardless of whether Indemnitor chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party claim, no Claimant shall admit any liability with respect to or settle, compromise or discharge, any Claim without the prior written consent of Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

d) Cooperation. Regardless of whether Indemnitor chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party claim, Claimant shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to Indemnitor to, and reasonable retention by Claimant of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party claim, and making employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and Indemnitor shall reimburse Claimant for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

e) Expenses. Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by Claimant in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis by Indemnitor, without prejudice to Indemnitor’s right to contest Claimant’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event Indemnitor is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify Claimant.

18.4 Limitation of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL A PARTY HERETO BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ALL AMOUNTS THAT AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS REQUIRED TO PAY TO ANY THIRD PARTY AS THE RESULT OF A MATTER FOR WHICH SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO BE DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH ARE INDEMNIFIABLE HEREUNDER.

Execution Version

ARTICLE 24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

24.1 Good Faith Discussions. In the event that any controversy or claim shall arise between the Parties under, out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, the Party initiating such controversy or making such claim shall provide to the other Party written notice containing a brief and concise statement of the initiating Party’s claims, together with relevant facts supporting them. During a period of sixty (60) days, or such longer period as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties, following the date of said notice, the Parties shall make good faith efforts to settle the dispute.

24.2 Arbitration. In the event that the Parties have been unable to reach accord using the procedures set forth in Section 13.1 and only if such is the case, either Party may seek final resolution of the matter through binding arbitration, and only through binding arbitration. The failure of a Party to comply with the provisions of Section 13.2 with respect to any controversy or claim shall constitute an absolute bar to the institution of any proceedings, by arbitration or otherwise, with respect to such controversy or claim. Any such arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California in the English language before a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with the then existing Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered or enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Execution Version
