A
Person entitled to indemnification under Section 11.1 or 11.2 (the "Indemnified
Party") shall give prompt written notification to the Party from
whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying
Party") of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding
relating to a Third Party claim for which such indemnification may be
sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim against the
Indemnified Party by a Third Party (it being understood and agreed,
however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice of a
Third Party’s claim as provided for in this Section 11.3 shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this
Article XI except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is
actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give
notice).
|
|
(b)
|
Within
[******] after delivery of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon
written notice 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.
|
|
(c)
|
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 its 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 the Indemnified
Parties.
|
|
(d)
|
The
Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the
status and development of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the
defense thereof and shall consider reasonable recommendations made by the
other Party with respect thereto.
|
|
(e)
|
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, delayed or
conditioned. 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 any and all liabilities and obligations with
respect thereto or that imposes any liabilities or obligations on the
Indemnified Party.

trial insurance policies shall be required from CMIC only while the clinical
trials hereunder are ongoing. The product liability insurance or self-insured
arrangements shall insure against all reasonably anticipated liability for
personal injury, physical injury, property damage or any other injury or damage
arising in connection with the manufacture, sale, distribution or marketing of
Product in CMIC Territory. Such insurance shall not be construed to
create a limit of CMIC’s liability under the terms of this
Agreement. CMIC shall provide Dyax with a copy of the certificate of
such insurance and/or self insurance or other evidence of such insurance and/or
self-insurance, upon request. Furthermore, CMIC shall use

resolve any matter referred to it, either Party may refer such matter to
Executive Officers for resolution. If after discussing such matter,
or any other matter to be resolved pursuant to this Section 13.1 pursuant to
this Agreement, in good faith and attempting to find a mutually satisfactory
resolution to it, Executive Officers fail to come to consensus on it within
[******] after the date on which it is referred to Executive Officers, the
provisions of Section 13.2 shall
apply. The resolutions reached through the provisions of
Section 13.1
or 13.2 shall be
binding on the Parties.
13.2
Final
Decision-Making Authority Allocated to a Single Party. If
Executive Officers fail to come to consensus on any matter referred to them
according to Section 13.1 (other than the matters referred to the JSC under
Sections 3.4, 4.3 and 4.4) within the period for resolution set forth in Section
13.1,
then:
|
(a)
|
on
any matter solely relating to the Development, Regulatory Approval,
packaging and labeling and Commercialization of Product in Field in CMIC
Territory, CMIC shall have the final decision-making authority; provided
that:
|
|
(i)
|
with
respect to any matter that Dyax reasonably concludes could adversely
impact on any Regulatory Approval of Product outside of CMIC Territory
(including the timing of such Regulatory Approval), Dyax shall have the
final decision-making authority;

(d)
|
notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.2, neither Party
shall have the final decision-making authority pursuant to this
Section 13.2 with respect to
any matters (i) over which the other Party is expressly allocated the
final decision-making authority elsewhere in this Agreement and (ii) for
which this Agreement expressly provides that a decision shall not be made

Party.

13.3 Arbitration. Any
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not finally
resolved through the provisions of Section 13.1 or 13.2, including the
interpretation of this Agreement and any breach or alleged breach of this
Agreement, shall be resolved through binding arbitration as described below;
provided that the specific matters for which this Agreement expressly provides

13.3. Furthermore, the following procedures shall apply to all the
arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Agreement:
|
(a)
|
A
Party may submit such dispute to arbitration by notifying the other Party,
in writing, to that effect. Within [******] after receipt of
such notice by the other Party, the Parties shall designate in writing a
single arbitrator to resolve the dispute; provided that, if the Parties
cannot agree on such arbitrator within such [******] period, the
arbitrator shall be selected by the International Court of Arbitration of
the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC"). The
arbitrator shall be a lawyer knowledgeable and experienced in the law
concerning the subject matter of the dispute and a technical expert in the
applicable field if the subject matter of the dispute involves a technical
issue, and shall not be an employee, consultant, agent, officer, director
or stockholder of either Party or its Related
Parties.
|
|
(b)
|
Within

Parties shall meet, at which time the Parties shall be required to set
forth in writing all the disputed issues and their proposed ruling on the
merits of each such issue.
|
|
(c)
|
The
arbitrator shall set a date for a hearing, which shall be no later than
[******] after the submission of written proposals pursuant to Section
13.3(b), to
discuss each of the issues identified in such proposals by the
Parties. The Parties may be accompanied or represented by
counsel in the arbitration. Except as provided for herein, the
arbitration shall be governed by the Arbitration Rules of the ICC
applicable at the time of the notice of arbitration pursuant to Section
13.3(a); provided that the arbitration shall be conducted by a single
arbitrator.
|
|
(d)
|
The
arbitrator shall use his or her best efforts to rule on each disputed
issue within [******] after the completion of the hearings described in
Section 13.3(c) The determination of the arbitrator as to the
resolution of any dispute shall be binding and conclusive upon both
Parties. All the rulings of the arbitrator shall be in writing
and shall be delivered to the
Parties.
|
|
(e)
|
The
(i) attorneys' fees of the Parties in the arbitration, (ii) fees of the
arbitrator and (iii) costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne
by the Parties as determined by the
arbitrator.
|
|
(f)
|
Any
arbitration pursuant to this Section 13.3 (including the meeting under (b)
and the hearing under (c) of this Section 13.3) shall be conducted in
English in Paris, France.
|
|
(g)
|
Nothing
in this Section 13.3 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 14.1. Should
any Party seek such injunctive relief, then for the purposes of
determining whether to grant such injunctive relief, the dispute
underlying the request for such injunctive relief may be heard by a court
in accordance with Section 14.1.

14.3 Construction. This
Agreement has been prepared jointly by both Parties and shall not be strictly
construed against either Party. Any reference in this Agreement to an
Article, Section, clause, Exhibit shall be deemed to be a reference to a
Article, Section, clause, or Exhibit, of or to, this
Agreement. Except where the context otherwise requires, (a) any
definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document refers
to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such
amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference to
any laws refers to such laws as from time to time enacted, repealed or amended,
(c) the word “here” in the words "herein," "hereof", "hereunder," and any other
word ”here” followed by such suffix refers to this Agreement in its entirety and
not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and (d) the words "include,"
"includes" and "including" shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase "but not
limited to," "without limitation" or other phrase of a similar
meaning.
14.4 Severability. If,
under the applicable law or regulation, any provision of this Agreement is
invalid or unenforceable, or otherwise directly or indirectly affects the
validity of any other material provision(s) of this Agreement (such invalid or
unenforceable provision, a "Severed Clause"), it
is mutually agreed that this Agreement shall endure except for Severed
Clauses. Consulting one another, the Parties shall use their
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision
that is a reasonable substitute for a Severed Clause in view of the intent of
this Agreement.
14.5 Captions. All
the captions herein are for convenience only and shall not be interpreted as
having any substantive meaning.
14.6 Integration. This
Agreement (together with all Exhibits), constitutes the entire agreement between
the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
previous agreements between the Parties, whether written or
oral. This Agreement may be amended only in writing signed by the
properly authorized representatives of each of both Parties.
14.7 Independent Contractors; No
Agency. Neither Party shall have any responsibility for the
employment, dismissal or compensation of the other Party's employees, officers
and directors or for any employee benefits or other social-welfare systems for
the other Party. No employee, officer, director or representative of
a Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party for any sum
or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other
liability on the other Party without such other Party's written
approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, either Party’s legal relationship with the other
Party under this Agreement shall be that of an independent
contractor.
14.8 Assignment;
Successors. Neither Dyax nor CMIC may assign this Agreement in
whole or in part, any rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written
consent of the other Party; provided that:
|
(a)

punctual payment and performance of all such assigned obligations of the
Affiliate;
|
|

This
Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, all the
successors and assigns of this Agreement, provided that such succession or
assignment is permitted hereunder.
14.9 Execution in Counterparts;
Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which counterparts, when executed and delivered, shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall
constitute one and the same instrument even if both Parties have not executed
the same counterpart. Even though a copy of this Agreement is signed
by a Party and transmitted by facsimile, such transmitted copy shall be deemed
to be an original counterpart signed by the Party.
14.10 Waiver. The
waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder, or of the failure of the
other Party to perform this Agreement, or of a breach hereof by the other Party
shall not be deemed a waiver by such Party of any other right hereunder or of
any other breach or failure hereof by such other Party whether of a similar
nature or otherwise.
14.11 Performance by
Affiliates. To the extent that this Agreement imposes the
obligations on Affiliates of a Party, the Party agrees to cause such Affiliates
to perform the obligations. Either Party may use one or more of its
Affiliates to perform its obligations and duties hereunder and the Affiliates of
a Party are expressly granted certain rights herein; provided that each such
Affiliate shall be bound by the corresponding obligations of such Party and the
Parties shall remain liable hereunder for the prompt payment and performance of
all their respective obligations hereunder.
14.12 Force
Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable to the other Party
nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached the Agreement for failure or
delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement when such failure or
delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the
affected Party, which include embargoes, war, acts of war (whether declared or
not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor
disturbances, fire, floods, or other acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays
in acting by any governmental authority or the other Party. The
affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure circumstances
as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake all the reasonable
efforts necessary to cure such force majeure circumstances.
14.13 Export
Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions on
the export of products or technical information from the United States of
America or other countries which might be imposed upon or related to Dyax or
CMIC from time to time. Each Party agrees that it shall not export,
directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired by it from the other
Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a
location or in a manner that at the time of such export requires an export
license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written
consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental
entity.
14.14 Costs. Each
Party shall bear its own legal costs of and incidental to the preparation,
negotiation and execution of this Agreement.
