If, on a country-by-country basis, neither the Product containing an Antibody or a set of Antibodies alone nor the other Non-Product Component(s) of the Combination Product are sold separately in such country, Gross Sales, for such Combination Product shall be determined by the Parties in good faith reasonably reflect the fair market value of the contribution of such Product in the Combination Product to the total fair market value of such Combination Product.

1.39 “Phase I Clinical Trial” means a human clinical trial in any country that is intended to collect data on safety of a Product for a particular indication or indications in patients with the disease or indication under study that would satisfy the requirements of 21 CFR §312.21(a) or its non-U.S. equivalent.

11.3 Procedure. If either Party intends to claim indemnification under this Article 11, including on behalf of any of its Affiliates or its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, such Party (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Claims of a Third Party for which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification.
