ARTICLE 7

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 From and after the Closing, Sellers shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Curadis and its officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents from and against all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Curadis and its officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents arising from or out of (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Sellers in this Agreement, or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Sellers in this Agreement, (c) the Assigned Contracts, other than the agreements between Sellers and the Liquidator of Savetherapeutics AG i.L., to the extent the liability or cause for such claim was existing before or on the Effective Date, or (d) any claim against Curadis by a party to the Assigned Contracts based on Sellers’ fraud or willful misconduct under such agreements.

7.2 From and after the Closing, Curadis shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents from and against all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Sellers and their officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents arising from or out of (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Curadis in this Agreement, (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Curadis in this Agreement, or (c) the Assigned Contracts to the extent the liability or cause for such claim was created after the Effective Date.

7.3 No obligation of indemnification shall arise relating to a third party claim or cause of action unless the indemnified Party making such claim shall: (a) notify the indemnifying Party of such claim promptly upon becoming aware of the existence or threatened existence of any such claim giving rise to, or that may give rise to a claim of indemnification hereunder, and (b) allow the indemnifying Party full control over the defense of such claim, and (c) cooperate in the defense of such claim at the indemnifying Party’s expense. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Article, the failure to so notify, provide information and assistance shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations to the indemnified Party hereunder unless, and then only to the extent that the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. If the indemnifying Party does not timely acknowledge its indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to such claim, or does not defend such claim, the indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend and settle such claim until such time as the indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to such claim or elects in writing to defend and settle such claim in accordance with the indemnification provisions herein. The indemnified Party shall, at its own cost, have the right to participate in any legal proceeding, settlement negotiation or other like event, and to contest and defend a claim and to be represented by legal counsel of its choosing, but shall have no right to settle a claim without the prior written approval of the indemnifying Party.

7.4 Each Party shall cooperate with and provide to the other all information and assistance which the latter may reasonably request in connection with any claim entitling any party to indemnification hereunder.

7.5 No party shall be responsible for or bound by any settlement that imposes any obligation on it that is made without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.6 For avoidance of any doubt, this Section applies to the situation when (a) all Parties are named defendants, as well as (b) any one Party is named a defendant and deems that it may have any right to recourse or indemnification against the other Party under this Agreement.

7.7 The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of or to the exclusion of, any statutory or common law remedy any Party may have for breach of representation, warranty, or covenant.

ARTICLE 8

CONFIDENTIALITY

8.1 For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean information and data in any medium, including oral, written or electronic, disclosed in connection with this Agreement, relating to the Purchased Assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, along with any trade secrets, business information, technical information, or marketing information that the party disclosing the information deems confidential and has appropriately marked as such prior to disclosing such information to the receiving party. The terms and conditions of this Agreement (but not its existence) are deemed to be Confidential Information that shall not be disclosed to third parties without the written consent of the Parties, with the exception of any regulatory filings (including, without limitation, Sellers’ obligation to file a report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and to issue a press release in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement), press releases as set forth in Section 9.12, or disclosures to investors or shareholderes that a Party may be required to make under either applicable laws and regulations. Irrespective of the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that (a) was reported as nonconfidential by either Party in writing prior to disclosure, (b) was lawfully in the public domain prior to Closing, or becomes publicly available other than through breach of this Agreement, (c) is publicly disclosed pursuant to legal, judicial or administrative proceedings or otherwise required by law (including, without limitation, regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), subject to Sellers giving all reasonable prior notice and assistance to Curadis to allow it to seek protective or other court orders, (d) is approved for release in writing by Curadis, and/or (e) Curadis will use in order to exercise its rights under this Agreement, including but not limiting to, required disclosure made to regulatory and other authorities, and disclosures made pursuant to confidentiality agreements to its Affiliate(s) and potential partners and licensees. From and after the Closing, all Confidential Information relating to the Purchased Assets shall be deemed to be Confidential Information belonging to Curadis.

8.2 Each Party shall:

(a) strictly protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information belonging to the other Party with at least a reasonable standard of care that is no less than that which they use to protect similar confidential information of their own;

(b) not disclose, nor allow to be disclosed, the Confidential Information belonging to the other Party to any person other than to employees, consultants and counsel, on a need to know basis; provided, however, that such recipients of the Confidential Information are bound by obligations of confidentiality no less strict than those contained herein;

(c) unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, not use the Confidential Information belonging the other Party for any purpose other than in relation to the exercise of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; and,

(d) take all necessary precautions to restrict access of the Confidential Information belonging to any other Party to unauthorized personnel; and immediately notify the Party to which the Confidential Information belongs in the event of any unauthorized disclosure or loss of such Confidential Information.

8.3 Sellers shall not publish or otherwise disclose any Confidential Information about or in relation to the Purchased Assets generated or known to them before or after the Effective Date, without the explicit prior written approval of Curadis.

8.4 No Party shall assert that anything disclosed or discussed constitutes a waiver of attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product.

8.5 The Parties acknowledge and agree that monetary damages may not be adequate in the event of a default under this Article and that the non-defaulting Party shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond, to seek injunctive relief by a court or other body granting such relief, in which event such relief or receipt of monetary damages shall not constitute an election of remedies; and the non-defaulting Party is independently entitled to each and every remedy available by law for a default under this Article.

8.6 The provisions of this Article, from and after the Effective Date, shall supersede and fully replace any confidentiality obligations established between the Parties in relation to the Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Date.
