3.5 Records; Inspection. Artiva shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the payments to be made under this Agreement.

Such records shall be open for inspection during such period by independent accountants, solely for the purpose of verifying payment statements hereunder for a period covering not more than [***] months prior to the date of request; provided that no period shall be subject to inspection under this section more than once and inspections with respect to payments on a Product under this Agreement shall be done concurrently with respect to payments on the same Product under the Option Agreement to avoid duplication. Such inspections shall be made no more than once each calendar year, on reasonable notice during normal business hours. The independent accountants will execute a reasonable written confidentiality agreement with Artiva and will disclose to GCLC only such information as is reasonably necessary to provide GCLC with information regarding any actual or potential discrepancies between amounts reported and actually paid and amounts payable under this Agreement. The auditor will send a copy of the report to Artiva at the same time it is sent to GCLC. The report sent to both Parties will include the methodology and calculations used to determine the results. Any unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid promptly by Artiva. Inspections conducted under this Section 3.5 shall be at the expense of GCLC, unless the inspection discloses an underpayment by Artiva of [***] or more of the amount due for any period covered by the inspection, whereupon all costs relating to the inspection for such period shall be paid promptly by Artiva. If the inspection discloses an overpayment by Artiva, then Artiva will deduct the amount of such overpayment from amounts otherwise owed to GCLC under this Agreement, unless no further payments are due hereunder, in which case the amount of such overpayment shall be refunded by GCLC to Artiva.

3.6 Income Tax Withholding. Except as otherwise provided herein, GCLC will pay any and all taxes levied on account of any payments made to it under this Agreement. GCLC shall be responsible for any transfer, documentary, sales use, stamp, registration, value added or other similar tax (“Transfer Tax”) that is imposed with respect to the payments or the related transfer of rights or other property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

To extent Artiva fails to withhold Withholding Taxes from, or apply and pay Transfer Taxes with respect to, any payment to GCLC and it is determined that Artiva should have withheld Withholding Taxes or applied and paid Transfer Taxes, GCLC agrees to indemnify and/or reimburse Artiva for any Withholding Taxes or Transfer Taxes, along with penalties and interest as applicable.

3.7 Tax Documentation. GCLC has provided a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E to Artiva.

Artiva shall cooperate with GCLC, in each case to the extent reasonably required to allow GCLC to assume the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance, of any Patent abandoned by Artiva pursuant to Section 4.2(a).

4.3 Patent Enforcement.

(a) Notification. If either Party becomes aware of any existing or threatened infringement of the Product Patents, Additional Joint Patents or Product Technology related to any Existing Third Party Agreements, or the filing of a BLA by a Third Party for a product that names a Product as a reference product (or similar filing in a country other than the U.S.), it shall promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect, and the Parties will consult with each other regarding any actions to be taken with respect to such infringement.

(b) Right to Enforce. Artiva shall have the first right, but shall not be obligated, to bring and control an infringement action with respect to any Product Patent or Additional Joint Patent in the Territory against any person or entity, at Artiva’s sole cost and expense. If Artiva does not bring such an action with respect to a Product Patent or Additional Joint Patent in the Territory (or settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such infringement) prior to the earlier of: (i) [***] days following Artiva’s receipt or delivery of the notice under Section 4.3(a), or (ii) [***] days before the deadline, if any, set forth in the applicable Laws for the filing of such actions, GCLC shall have the right to bring and control any such action, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Parties shall jointly bring and control an infringement action with respect to any Product Technology that is related to the [***], and equally bear the related expense.

(c) Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate fully with the enforcing Party in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable Laws to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts. The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the enforcing Party. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 4.3 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) Expenses and Recoveries. The enforcing Party bringing a claim, suit or action under this Section 4.3 shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such claim, suit or action. If such Party recovers monetary damages in such claim, suit or action, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a cost-sharing arrangement, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation, and any remaining amounts shall be shared as follows: [***].

(e) Enforcement Outside the Territory. GCLC shall have the sole right, but shall not be obligated, to bring and control an infringement action with respect to any Product Patent or Additional Joint Patent outside the Territory against any person or entity, at GCLC’s sole cost and expense. GCLC shall keep Artiva reasonably informed of the enforcement of Product Patents or Additional Joint Patents outside the Territory to the extent such activities could affect the Product Patents or Additional Joint Patents in the Territory.

4.4 Patent Oppositions and Other Proceedings.

(a) In the Territory. If a Product Patent or Additional Joint Patent in the Territory becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party in connection with an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof, then Artiva shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to control such defense at its own expense using counsel of its own choice. If Artiva decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, it shall notify GCLC reasonably in advance of all applicable deadlines, and GCLC shall thereafter have the right, but not the obligation, to assume defense of such action at its own expense. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Parties shall jointly control the defense of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party in connection with an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of any Product Technology that is related to the AbClon Agreement, and each Party shall equally bear the related expense.

(b) The Party controlling any defense under Section 4.4(a) shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceedings to the extent permissible under applicable Laws and to be represented by its own counsel at the non-controlling Party’s expense.

Neither Party shall have the right to settle any proceeding under this Section 4.4 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Outside the Territory. GCLC shall have the sole right, but shall not be obligated, to control any opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of any Product Patent or Additional Joint Patent outside the Territory, at GCLC’s own expense using counsel of its own choice. GCLC shall

keep Artiva reasonably informed of any such defense of Product Patents or Additional Joint Patents outside the Territory to the extent such activities could affect the Product Patents or Additional Joint Patents in the Territory.

4.5 Patent Marking. Artiva shall xxxx Product (or when the character of the product precludes marking, the package containing any such Product) marketed and sold by Artiva or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in accordance with all applicable Laws relating to patent marking.

4.6 Infringement of Third Party Rights. If any Product used or sold by Artiva or its Affiliates or Sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 4.6 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party without the written consent of such other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Any right to terminate under this Section 5.2 shall be stayed and the cure period tolled in the event that, during any cure period, the breaching Party shall have initiated dispute resolution in accordance with Article 13 of the Option Agreement with respect to the alleged breach, which stay and tolling shall last so long as the breaching Party diligently and in good faith cooperates in the prompt resolution of such dispute resolution proceedings. Each Party shall be entitled to offset, against amounts payable to the other Party under this Agreement, any amounts of damages determined, in a final decision by the applicable court action or other legal proceeding, to be owed to such Party by the other Party based on the other Party’s material breach of this Agreement.

(b) Remaining Inventories. Artiva or its Affiliates, to the extent that such parties continue to have stocks of usable Products that would be subject to payment of Product Royalties pursuant to Section 3.2, may continue to fulfill orders received for Products until [***] months following the date of termination.

5.8 Rights under Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws.

7.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by Artiva. Artiva shall defend, indemnify, and hold GCLC and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “GCLC Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages or other amounts payable by such GCLC Indemnitees, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees, taxes (including penalties and interest), and costs of litigation incurred by, such GCLC Indemnitees, to the extent resulting from claims, suits, proceedings, or causes of action brought by any Third Party (“Claims”) against such GCLC Indemnitees that arise from or are based on: (i) the development, manufacture or commercialization of any Product in the Territory, or performance of the CMC Activities, by or on behalf of Artiva or its Affiliates or Sublicensees (excluding in all cases GCLC or its Affiliates); (ii) the breach of any of Artiva’s obligations under this Agreement, including Artiva’s representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein; (iii) the use or application of a Third Party License in the development, manufacture, commercialization or other disposal of any Product in the Territory; or (iv) the willful misconduct or negligent acts of Artiva or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent to the extent that any of the Claims arises from, is based on, or results from any activity described in Section 7.1(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) for which GCLC is obligated to indemnify the Artiva Indemnitees under Section 7.1(b).

(b) Indemnification by GCLC. GCLC shall defend, indemnify, and hold Artiva and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Artiva Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages or other amounts payable by such GCLC Indemnitees, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees, taxes (including penalties and interest), and costs of litigation incurred by such Artiva Indemnitees, to the extent resulting from Claims against such Artiva Indemnitees that arise from or are based on: (i) activities of, or on behalf of GCLC or GCLC Subsidiaries, licensee or sublicensees (other than Artiva and its Affiliates and Sublicensees) for the development, manufacture or commercialization of any Product, that give rise to a Third Party claim against an Artiva Indemnitee; (ii) the breach of any

of GCLC’s obligations under this Agreement, including of GCLC’s representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein; or (iii) the willful misconduct or negligent acts of GCLC or any of GCLC Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent to the extent that any of the Claims arises from, is based on, or results from any activity set forth in Section 7.1(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) for which Artiva is obligated to indemnify the GCLC Indemnitees under Section 7.1(a).

(c) Indemnification Procedures. The Party seeking indemnification (individually, the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Claim. Such Claim for indemnity shall indicate the nature of the Claim and the basis therefor. Promptly after a Claim is made for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnity, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party, at its option and expense, to assume the complete defense of such Claim, provided that (i) the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense of any such Claim at its own cost and expense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will conduct the defense of any such Claim with due regard for the business interests and potential related liabilities of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not agree to any settlement that would admit liability on the part of the Indemnified Party or involve relief other than payment of money, without the approval of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that if it is reasonably likely that the Parties may have conflicting interests or if it is otherwise not advisable under applicable legal and ethical requirements for the Indemnifying Party’s defense counsel to represent both Parties, separate independent counsel shall be retained for each Party at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party will not, in defense of any such Claim, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect thereof. After notice to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party for such legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof at the request of the Indemnifying Party. As to those Claims with respect to which the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control of the defense, the Indemnified Party will afford the Indemnifying Party an opportunity to participate in such defense at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, and will not settle or otherwise dispose of any of the same without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

7.2 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 7.2 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 7.1 OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 9 OF THE OPTION AGREEMENT AS APPLIED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

7.3 Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder and which is consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during which any Product

is being clinically tested in human subjects or commercially distributed or sold. Each Party shall provide the other Party with evidence of such insurance upon request and shall provide the other Party with written notice at least [***] days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material changes in such insurance. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 7.
