Parties except to the extent that such Losses arise out of, and are
allocable to any cause set forth in Section 11.2(a) or (b) or

11.2 By
Dyax. Dyax will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Defiante,
its Affiliates or Sublicensees and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents (the "Defiante Indemnified
Parties") from and against all Losses arising from or occurring as a
result of a Third Party's claim (including any Third Party product liability or
infringement claim), action, suit, judgment or settlement to the extent such

11.3 Claims for
Indemnification.
|
(d)
|
A
Person entitled to indemnification under Sections 11.1 or 11.2 (an "Indemnified
Party") shall give prompt written notification to the Party from
whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying
Party") of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding
relating to a Third Party claim for which indemnification may be sought
or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a Third Party (it
being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified
Party to give notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this Section
11.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification
obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such
Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to
give notice).
|
|
(e)
|
Within
[*****] after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may,
upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of
the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the
Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the
Indemnified Party shall control such
defense.
|
|
(f)
|
The
Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own
expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such
defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice
from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have
conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or
claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection
therewith; provided further that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party
be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any
one jurisdiction for all Indemnified
Parties.
|
|
(g)
|
The
Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the
status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof
and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect
thereto.
|
|
(h)
|
The
Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit,
proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, agree to any settlement of such action, suit,
proceeding or claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that
does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified
Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any
liability or obligation on the Indemnified
Party.
|
11.4 No Consequential or Punitive
Damages. NEITHER PARTY HERETO WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER, OR FOR LOST PROFITS
ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY
NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.4 IS INTENDED
TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER
PARTY WITH
RESPECT
TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, OR (B) ANY CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF A PARTY'S
OBLIGATIONS OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR NON-USE IN ARTICLE IX.
11.5 Insurance. During
the Term and for a period of three (3) years after the expiration of this
Agreement or the earlier termination thereof, each Party shall obtain and/or
maintain, respectively, at its sole cost and expense, product liability
insurance (including any self-insured arrangements); provided that clinical
trial insurance policies will be required only while trials are ongoing. Such
product liability insurance or self-insured arrangements shall insure against
all reasonably anticipated liability, including personal injury, physical injury
and/or property damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, distribution or
marketing of Product in such Party's Territory. Such insurance will
not be construed to create a limit of either Party's liability with respect to
its indemnification obligations under this Article XI. Each
Party will provide the other Party with a copy of the certificate of insurance
or other evidence of such insurance and/or self-insurance, upon
request. Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
provide the other Party with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to
the cancellation of, non-renewal of or material change in, such insurance or
self-insurance that materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party
hereunder.

Termination For
Breach.
|
|
(i)
|
Upon any
material breach of this Agreement by a Party (the "Breaching
Party"), the other Party (the "Non-Breaching
Party") may seek to terminate this Agreement by providing written
notice to the Breaching Party specifying the nature of the material breach
(a "Termination
Notice").
|
|
(ii)
|
The
termination shall become effective [*****] following receipt of the
Termination Notice by the
Breaching Party unless the Breaching Party cures the noticed material
breach during such notice period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) if such material breach, by its nature, is incurable,
the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon
receipt of the Termination Notice by the Breaching Party and (ii) if
such material breach (other than a payment breach), by its nature, is
curable, but not within the foregoing cure period, then such cure period
shall be extended if the Breaching Party provides a written plan for
curing such material breach to the Non-Breaching Party and uses
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such material breach in accordance
with such written plan; provided that no such extension shall exceed
[*****] without the written consent of the Non-Breaching
Party.
|
|
(iii)
|
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections 12.2(b)(i) and (ii), if either Party gives a
Termination Notice to the other Party pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i), and,
as of the end of the cure period set forth in Section 12.2(a)(ii) above,
the Parties are engaged in an arbitration pursuant to Section 13.3 in
which the Non-Breaching Party is disputing the basis for such termination
pursuant to this Section 12.2(b), then this Agreement shall not terminate
unless and until the arbitrator issues an award upholding such basis for
termination (or unless the Breaching Party is no longer disputing such
basis in good faith, if earlier, and the Breaching Party cures such
material breach within thirty (30) days after the issuance of such
award).
|
|
(c)
|
Termination for
Bankruptcy. A Party may terminate this Agreement should the other
Party commit an act of bankruptcy, be declared bankrupt, voluntarily file
or have filed against it a petition for bankruptcy or reorganization
unless such petition is dismissed within [*****] of filing or such
petition is for a reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
(as defined below) or any relevant foreign equivalent thereof and such
Party is not in default at the time of the filing of such petition or at
any time during such reorganization of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, enter into a procedure of winding up to dissolution, or should
a trustee or receiver be appointed for its business assets or operations.
All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are,
and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for the purposes of Section 365(n) of
Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, license rights to "intellectual property"
as defined under Section 101(60) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree
that any Party, as a licensee hereunder, shall retain and may fully
exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code or any
relevant foreign equivalent
thereof.

Nothing
in this Section 13.2 shall be construed as limiting in any way the right
of a Party to seek injunctive relief with respect to any actual or
threatened breach of this Agreement from, or to bring an action in aid of
arbitration in, a court in accordance with Section 14.8. Should
any Party seek injunctive relief, then for purposes of determining whether
