If, as a result of any inspection of the books and records of Sanofi or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, it is shown that Sanofi’s royalty payments under this Agreement were less than the amount which should have been paid, or that a sales milestone payment should have been paid or should have been paid earlier, then Sanofi shall make all payments required to eliminate any discrepancy revealed by said inspection within thirty (30) Business Days of the conclusion of such inspection. In addition, if such underpaid amount is in excess of *** of the amount that actually should have been paid by Sanofi, then Sanofi shall reimburse IMDZ for the reasonable cost of such audit. In the event of an overpayment, such amounts shall be deducted from IMDZ’s royalties until fully credited.

8.5 Taxes. IMDZ shall bear any and all taxes levied on account of any payment received under this Agreement. In the event that Sanofi is required, under Applicable Laws, to withhold any deduction or tax from any payment due to IMDZ under this Agreement, such amount shall be deducted from the payment to be made by Sanofi, paid to the proper taxing authority, provided that Sanofi shall take reasonable and lawful actions to avoid and minimize such withholding and promptly notify IMDZ so that IMDZ may take lawful actions to avoid and minimize such withholding. Sanofi shall promptly furnish IMDZ with copies of any tax certificate or other documentation evidencing such withholding as necessary to satisfy the requirements of the relevant Governmental Authority related to any application by IMDZ for foreign tax credit for such payment. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in claiming exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any agreement or treaty from time to time in effect.

14.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

14.1 Indemnification of IMDZ. Sanofi will indemnify IMDZ and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, and employees (each, an “IMDZ Indemnitee”), and defend and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) arising in connection with any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, or investigations by a Third Party (each a “Third Party Claim”) against an IMDZ Indemnitee, to the extent caused by or arising out of: (a) any breach by Sanofi of this Agreement; (b) the *** on the part of Sanofi, its Affiliates, or its or their Sublicensees or Service Providers in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement; or (c) the Research, Development, Manufacture, use, handling, storage, supply, Commercialization or other disposition of Licensed Products by Sanofi, its Affiliates or its/their Sublicensees or Service Providers.

14.2 Indemnification of Sanofi. IMDZ will indemnify Sanofi, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, and employees (each, a “Sanofi Indemnitee”), and defend and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses arising in connection with any Third Party Claim against a Sanofi Indemnitee, to the extent caused by or arising out of: (a) any breach by IMDZ of this Agreement; (b) the *** on the part of IMDZ, its Affiliates, or its or their Sublicensees or Service Providers in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement; or (c) from the Manufacture of *** by IMDZ, its Affiliates, or its or their Service Providers, in each case, excluding any Losses to the extent Sanofi has an obligation to indemnify IMDZ and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 14.1.

14.3 Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of any Sanofi Indemnitee or IMDZ Indemnitee seeking indemnity under Sections 14.1 or 14.2 (collectively, the “Indemnitees” and each an “Indemnitee”) will be made solely by the corresponding Party (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 14.1 or 14.2, but in no event will the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and

- 33 -

amount of such Loss are known at such time). Together with the Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim.

14.4 Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to indemnification as provided for in Sections 14.1 or 14.2, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within *** after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may select and appoint the lead legal counsel for the defense of the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or other Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 14.5.

14.5 Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 14.4, any Indemnitee will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment will be at the Indemnitee’s own expense unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (b) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 14.4 (in which case the Indemnified Party will control the defense).

14.6 Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnitee’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnitee in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, the Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, will deem appropriate. The Indemnifying Party will pay all amounts on behalf of the Indemnified Party at or prior to the time of the entry of judgment. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 14.4, the Indemnifying Party will have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will be at the Indemnified Party’s sole and absolute discretion). The Indemnifying Party that has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 14.4 will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnitee that is reached without the written consent of such Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, no Indemnitee will admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without first offering to the Indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 14.5.

- 34 -

14.7 Cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will, and will cause each other Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense thereof and will 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 with the defense of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation will include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for *** in connection with such cooperation.

14.8 Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim will be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

14.9 Insurance. During the Term, each Party will have and maintain such types and amounts of liability insurance, including self-insurance, as is normal and customary in the industry generally for similarly situated parties, and will upon request provide the other Party with a certificate of insurance in that regard, along with any amendments and revisions thereto.

Sanofi Licenses Immune Design’s GLAAS Platform to Explore Novel Approach to Treat Food Allergy

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and SEATTLE and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sanofi (EURONEXT:SAN) (NYSE:SNY) and Immune Design (Nasdaq:IMDZ), a clinical-stage immunotherapy company, today announced that they have entered into a licensing agreement for use of Immune Design’s GLAAS^TM discovery platform to develop therapeutic agents to treat a selected food allergy.

The incidence of food allergies is increasing worldwide in both developed and undeveloped countries, and especially in children.¹ Globally, experts believe 220-250 million people may suffer from food allergies.^2,3 In the United States alone, as many as 15 million people have food allergies,⁴ with allergic reactions resulting in an emergency room visit every three minutes and averaging more than 200,000 emergency room visits per year.⁵

“This is an exciting time in the area of immunology research, and our relationship with Immune Design is a great example of how Sanofi has changed our approach to R&D,” said Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, vice president and head of Global Bio Therapeutics Organization, Sanofi. “With this partnership, we are able to tap into breakthrough science that holds great potential to transform how food allergies are treated, and the lives of those people affected. This kind of innovation is central to our new approach.”

Under terms of the agreement, Immune Design has granted Sanofi an exclusive license to discover, develop and commercialize products to treat a selected food allergy. The company has received an undisclosed upfront payment and will be eligible to receive development and commercialization milestones totaling US $168 million, as well as tiered royalties on sales of approved products.

“Our fourth agreement for the use of the GLAAS platform further demonstrates the broad applicability of this approach not only in cancer and infectious diseases, but now in allergic diseases as well,” said Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, chief business officer at Immune Design. “Due to the immune dysfunction leading to allergic diseases, GLAAS’ mechanism of action is well suited to correct the imbalance, allowing for the potential of new therapeutics in the targeted indication that currently uses century-old technologies. We are pleased that Sanofi has decided to develop products for this often life-threatening and growing food allergy.”

Under an existing collaborative research arrangement, Sanofi and Immune Design have generated a large set of preclinical data demonstrating that certain formulations within GLAAS, when given prophylactically or therapeutically, can shift the immune responses in a way that may result in significant protection and reduction from allergy symptoms.

About Sanofi

Sanofi, an integrated global healthcare leader, discovers, develops and distributes therapeutic solutions focused on patients’ needs. Sanofi has core strengths in the field of healthcare with seven growth platforms: diabetes solutions, human vaccines, innovative drugs, and consumer healthcare, emerging markets, animal health and the new Genzyme. Sanofi is listed in Paris (EURONEXT:SAN) and in New York (NYSE:SNY).

About GLAAS

Immune Design’s GLAAS platform works in vivo and is based on a small synthetic molecule called GLA, which stands for glucopyranosyl lipid adjuvant. GLA selectively binds to the TLR4 receptor and causes potent activation of dendritic cells (DCs) leading to the production of cytokines and chemokines that drive a Th1-type immune response. When GLA is accompanied by an antigen and injected into a patient, the combination is taken up by DCs and leads to the production and expansion of immune cells called CD4 T helper lymphocytes with a Th1 phenotype. These CD4 T cells play a key role in boosting pre-existing CTLs that are specific to the same antigen; and providing help to other immune cells, including B lymphocytes that are the precursor to antibodies, and natural killer cells that are also important in the overall immune response. Immune Design believes that GLAAS product candidates have the potential to target multiple types of cancer, as well as infectious, allergic and autoimmune diseases. GLAAS-based product candidates have now been evaluated in over 1000 subjects in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials demonstrating an acceptable safety profile and efficacy.
