(a) each Indemnitee that intends to claim indemnification under this Section shall:

i) notify Licensee of an Indemnified Claim promptly after the Indemnitee’s receipt of notice of the claim, except that the Indemnitee’s Failure to provide prompt notice to Licensee of an Indemnified Claim shall not relieve Licensee of its obligations to indemnify the Indemnitee, except to the extent that Licensee is actually prejudiced by such failure; and

ii) provide Licensee, at no cost to the Indemnitee, with all reasonably necessary assistance, information, and authority to perform the above.

(b) upon the notice contemplated by paragraph 10.3(a)(i), above, Licensee may, at its option, exercise control over and choose counsel for the defense of the Indemnified Claim, and all related settlement negotiations. However, the Indemnitee will be entitled to employ counsel separate from Licensee’s counsel if the Indemnitee and Licensee or a court of competent jurisdiction reasonably determine that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation by Licensee’s chosen counsel not advisable or permitted; provided, however that the Indemnitee shall seek Licensee’s consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, to the appointment of the Indemnitee’s counsel and the rates to be charged. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Indemnitees’ counsel will be paid by Licensee.

10.4. Legal Compliance.

(a) Licensee acknowledges that it is subject to United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes and other commodities (including the Arms Export Control Act, as amended and the United States Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations). The transfer of such items may require a license from the cognizant Agency of the United States Government and/or written assurances by Licensee that Licensee shall not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of such agency. LightLab neither represents that a license shall not be required nor that, if required, it shall be issued.

(b) Licensee shall:

i) comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including all United States laws and regulations controlling the export of commodities

and technical data, shall be solely responsible for any violation of such laws and regulations by Licensee or its Affiliates, and shall defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless in the event of any legal action of any nature occasioned by such violation;

ii) obtain all regulatory approvals required for the manufacture and sale of Licensed Products and Licensed Processes;

iii) register or record this Agreement as is required by law or regulation in any country where the license is in effect.

SECTION 11: INSURANCE

11.1. Requirement of Insurance. Beginning at the time any such product, process or service is being commercially distributed or sold by Licensee or by an Affiliate or agent of Licensee, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, and subject to MIT’s approval, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per incident and three million dollars $3,000,000 annual aggregate and naming the Indemnitees, MIT, MGH, and the MEEI as additional insureds. During clinical trials of any such product, process or service, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in such equal or lesser amount as LightLab shall require, naming the Indemnitees as additional insureds. Such commercial general liability insurance shall be written by a reputable insurance company authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall provide at least: (i) product liability coverage; and (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for Licensee’s indemnification under this Agreement. If Licensee elects to self-insure all or part of the limits described above (including deductibles or retentions which are in excess of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) annual aggregate) such self-insurance program must be acceptable to LightLab, MIT, MGH, MEEI, and the Risk Management Foundation, under their sole discretion. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required shall not be construed to create a limit of Licensee’s liability with respect to its indemnification under this Agreement.

11.2. Evidence and Replacement. Licensee shall provide LightLab with written evidence of the insurance described in Section 11.1 upon request of LightLab. Licensee shall provide LightLab with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance; if Licensee does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage within such fifteen (15) day period, LightLab shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of such fifteen (15) day period without notice or any additional waiting periods.

11.3. Maintenance Beyond Termination. Licensee shall maintain the commercial general liability insurance described in Section 11.1 beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during: (a) the period that any product, process, or service, relating or developed pursuant to this Agreement is being commercially distributed or sold by Licensee or by an Affiliate or agent of Licensee; and (b) a reasonable period after the period referred to in Subsection 113(a), above, which in no event shall be less than fifteen (15) years.

SECTION 12: CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1. Designation. Confidential Information that is disclosed in writing shall be marked with a legend indicating its confidential status (such as “Confidential” or “Proprietary”). Confidential Information that is disclosed orally or visually shall be documented in a written notice prepared by the Disclosing Party and delivered to the Receiving Party within thirty (30) days of the date of disclosure; such notice shall summarize the Confidential Information disclosed to the Receiving Party and reference the time and place of its disclosure.

12.2. Obligations.
