2.2 Notice of Closure. During the Term, Pharmexa will give IDM at least [. . . *** . . .]
prior written notice of any planned closure of Pharmexa’s Research Labs that would interfere with
Services being performed under this Agreement. In the event of such a planned closure, Pharmexa
agrees to provide IDM with reasonable access to such Pharmexa personnel with expertise in providing
the Services at such Research Labs as IDM may reasonably request. Such Pharmexa personnel shall
provide reasonable training to IDM to enable IDM to replicate the Services. Any such training
shall be provided at the rates set forth on Exhibit C.
3. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES.
3.1 Project Managers. Promptly following the Effective Date, each Party will identify one
representative (the “Project Managers”) to serve as its primary contact on day-to-day matters with
respect to this Agreement. Each Party shall have the right to substitute a new Project Manager as
needed upon written notice to the other Party.
3.2 Steering Committee. Promptly following the Effective Date, each Party will identify two
representatives to serve on a steering committee (the “Steering Committee”) with respect to this
Agreement. One of the Steering Committee representatives from each Party shall be its Project
Manager. Each Party shall have the right to substitute new representatives on the Steering
Committee as needed upon written notice to the other Party. The Steering Committee will meet, at a
minimum, each calendar quarter during the Term (each, a “Quarterly Meeting”), prior to the end of
the second month of each such quarter, and at such times and at such places as set by the Project
Managers. The Project Managers may agree for the Steering Committee to meet telephonically. Prior
to each Quarterly Meeting, IDM will submit to the Steering Committee members its non-binding
projected Task Orders and resource requirements for the succeeding twelve (12) months (the
“Projected Resource Requirements”). In addition to review of new Task Orders and the coordination
of the efforts required under such Task Orders as set forth in Section 3.3, the Steering Committee
shall also review progress and issues of concern, if any, on existing Task Orders, including
without limitation, any changes to scheduling that are required or with respect to the allocation
of resources. The Steering Committee shall determine whether any equipment should be added to the
equipment listed on Exhibit A, and shall make decisions concerning the retirement of equipment
listed therein that is not being utilized to perform Services. To the extent the Steering Committee
is unable to reach agreement on any matters before the Steering Committee, after good faith
attempts to resolve such matters, its members may refer such matters to the appropriate senior
executives of each Party for resolution. Such representatives of Pharmexa and IDM will attempt to
resolve such issues promptly. To the extent such executives are unable to reach agreement with
respect to any such matters, either Party may submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to Section
12.1.
3.3 Task Orders. During the Term, from time to time, IDM shall submit to Pharmexa Task Orders setting
forth the Services required by IDM hereunder. Each Task Order shall include any special
instructions with respect to the Services requested thereunder
| * | Confidential Treatment | |||
| Requested Under 17 C.F.R. §§ | ||||
| 200.80(b)(4) AND 240.24b-2(b)(1) |

and the projected timeline for completion. Each Task Order will be attached hereto and
incorporated herein. In the event of any discrepancy between this Agreement and a Task Order, this
Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in the Task Order. The Steering
Committee will discuss such Task Orders at the next scheduled Quarterly Meeting if timing of the
Services requested in such Task Order permits waiting for such meeting, or at an alternative
meeting arranged by the Project Managers if timing does not so permit. Such discussions will
include the schedule for completion of the Services named in the Task Order and appropriate
staffing. IDM shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at or prior to each Quarterly Meeting, to
provide Task Orders to Pharmexa for work to be conducted in the quarter beginning following such
Quarterly Meeting. To the extent that (a) Task Orders submitted by IDM are consistent with this
Agreement and (b) together with the Services to be provided pursuant to existing Task Orders, they
do not require in excess of [. . . *** . . .] FTEs per the applicable twelve (12) month period,
Pharmexa shall perform the Services for IDM as requested in the applicable Task Orders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that it is the intention of the Parties to
have the work of the [. . . *** . . .] FTEs spread over the course of each twelve (12) month period
as evenly as possible, and the Parties will work together in good faith to coordinate the Services
requested under the Task Orders to achieve this goal such that Pharmexa’s resources are not overly
burdened with IDM’s requirements at any point in time during the Term.
3.4 Scope. Pharmexa shall perform the Services in accordance with good workmanlike manner, as
well as the applicable Task Order, Applicable Law and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Subject to Section 3.5 and except as otherwise contemplated in this Section 3.4, Pharmexa shall
provide the facilities, Consumables and personnel necessary to complete the Services as provided
in the applicable Task Orders and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise
agreed by the Parties in writing, Pharmexa, at IDM’s request, shall subcontract at commercially
reasonable rates the performance of that portion of the Services on each Task Order comprised of
peptide synthesis to [. . . *** . . .]. IDM acknowledges that Pharmexa is not supervising [. . .
*** . . .] and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
Pharmexa will have no liability with respect to the portion of the Service performed by [. . . ***
. . .]. If either Party is dissatisfied with the work of [. . . *** . . .] it may propose an
alternate subcontractor to perform peptide synthesis work, subject to the other Party’s consent,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. IDM further agrees that the work performed by [. . .
*** . . .] or any successor subcontractor shall be applied towards Pharmexa’s obligation to provide
[. . . *** . . .] FTEs per twelve (12) month period to perform Services under this Agreement.
Pharmexa shall use methods to perform the Services that are consistent with industry standards and
shall ensure that its employees who perform Pharmexa’s obligations with respect to each Task Order
are appropriately trained and qualified to perform the applicable obligations in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
3.5 Proprietary Supplies. IDM and/or its agents or subcontractors shall provide Pharmexa with
sufficient amounts of the applicable proprietary supplies, including Antigens (“IDM Supplies”),
necessary to perform the Services pursuant to the relevant Task Orders. All IDM Supplies provided
hereunder are the property of IDM and shall remain so at all times. Pharmexa shall use IDM
Supplies solely for the purpose of performing Services
| * | Confidential Treatment | |||
| Requested Under 17 C.F.R. §§ | ||||
| 200.80(b)(4) AND 240.24b-2(b)(1) |
4
hereunder, and shall not transfer or disclose the IDM Supplies, or any portion thereof, to any
third parties (except to [. . . *** . . .], or any successor subcontractor, as necessary to perform
peptide synthesis as part of the Services). Pharmexa will, will cause its employees to, and will
instruct [. . . *** . . .] to, use the IDM Supplies in a safe manner and in compliance with
Applicable Law. Pharmexa shall retain the unused portion of all IDM Supplies during the period in
which Task Orders so require Pharmexa to have access to such IDM Supplies for the fulfillment of
the Services described therein. Upon the conclusion of such Services, Pharmexa shall provide
written notice to IDM that the IDM Supplies are no longer required and shall return or destroy such
materials as directed by IDM in writing, in either event at IDM’s sole expense. If IDM does not
respond in writing to any such notice from Pharmexa within thirty (30) days after receipt, then
Pharmexa may destroy such materials.
3.6 Reports of Results. Except to the extent the relevant Task Order provides for alternative
reporting, Pharmexa shall provide informal reports to the Steering Committee at the Quarterly
Meetings regarding the status of the Services being performed. Upon completing the Services
associated with each Task Order, Pharmexa shall promptly, and in any event within [. . . *** . . .]
days, provide to IDM any deliverables required under the relevant Task Order, as well as a final
written report summarizing all raw data generated or recorded in the performance of the Services
(the “Project Data”), and such other summary information as the Parties may agree, in electronic or
hard copy format, or both as requested by IDM.
3.7 Modification of Task Orders. If IDM requests any changes with respect to a particular
Task Order, IDM will prepare a proposed amended Task Order reflecting such changes. To the extent
the requested changes are for Services within the scope of this Agreement and do not require,
together with other outstanding Task Orders, for Services in excess of the [. . . *** . . .] FTE
support agreed upon herein, the Parties will work together in good faith to finalize such amended
Task Order, including making any adjustment to the appropriate FTE support for performing the
Services resulting from the change, as well as any resulting changes in the related deadlines.
Upon the Parties’ written approval of the amended Task Order, such Task Order shall be deemed
amended and incorporated herein, and Pharmexa shall perform the Services in accordance with such
amended Task Order. Pharmexa may request scheduling changes with respect to any Task Order, which
shall be considered in good faith by IDM and, if agreed upon by IDM, reflected in an amended Task
Order as described herein.
3.8 Quality Control. If the Steering Committee determines that Pharmexa has failed to perform
Services in accordance with the applicable Task Order, upon written request of IDM, Pharmexa shall
repeat the applicable Services at Pharmexa’s expense.
4. PAYMENT.
4.1 Research Fees. Pharmexa personnel, and [. . . *** . . .] (and any successor subcontractor)
personnel, that provide Services pursuant to Task Orders shall prepare written records of their
time spent performing Services, which such records shall be adequate to comply with United States
government contract reporting requirements. Subject to Section 4.2, Pharmexa shall invoice IDM
quarterly in advance or an amount equal to (a)
| * | Confidential Treatment | |||
| Requested Under 17 C.F.R. §§ | ||||
| 200.80(b)(4) AND 240.24b-2(b)(1) |
5
[. . . *** . . .] per twelve (12) month period per FTE, for [. . . *** . . .] FTEs per twelve (12)
month period, less (b) an amount, determined in good faith by the Parties, of the expected costs of
peptide synthesis services to be performed by [. . . *** . . .] or any successor subcontractor as
part of the Services and charged to Pharmexa per twelve (12) month period, plus an administrative
fee equal to [. . . *** . . .] of such agreed upon amount for such expected costs (the “Peptide
Synthesis Cost”), regardless of whether Task Orders require a full [. . . *** . . .] FTEs during
such period. Pharmexa will invoice IDM quarterly for the actual Peptide Synthesis Cost. Any
Services (other than peptide synthesis by [. . . *** . . .] or any successor subcontractor)
requested by IDM in excess of the FTEs paid for in advance per twelve (12) month period as provided
above shall be invoiced at a pro rata rate equivalent to [. . . *** . . .] per FTE. Such FTE rate
and corresponding hourly rate shall each be subject to the actual annual increase provided by
Pharmexa to its employees, not to exceed [. . . *** . . .] per year. Each invoice provided to IDM
pursuant to this Agreement shall be accompanied by a detailed report covering the previous quarter
showing, per Task Order, the number of individuals whose time was included, the number of hours per
individual and the function of each such individual. To the extent such report indicates that, in
the previous quarter, the prepaid amounts exceeded actual time spent by Pharmexa FTEs for Services
in such quarter, then such excess payments shall be carried forward for up to one (1) quarter and
applied toward the payment of Services received by IDM in such next quarter. To the extent that
such report indicates that, in the previous quarter, the prepaid amounts were deficient to pay for
the actual time spent by Pharmexa FTEs for Services in such quarter, then Pharmexa shall invoice
IDM for such additional time spent at the hourly rate set forth above. The foregoing rate per FTE
(a) includes all direct labor, fringe costs, overhead expenses and Consumables required to perform
the Services (subject to Section 3.7, above) and (b) shall apply to activities of personnel who
provide scientific services, and shall not apply with respect to personnel whose services are
currently treated by Pharmexa as administrative, and thereby considered overhead expenses,
consistent with Pharmexa’s billing practices prior to the Effective Date. For purposes of the
foregoing, the services of the personnel who handle and breed mice in the vivarium referred to
Exhibit A, and who otherwise conduct upkeep of such vivarium, as well as executive assistants,
shall not be considered to provide scientific services. IDM shall pay all undisputed amounts in
each invoice provided pursuant to this Agreement within [. . . *** . . .] of receipt, and shall
notify Pharmexa in writing of any amounts that are disputed in good faith. The Parties agree to
work together in good faith to resolve any such disputes promptly. All payments owed under this
Agreement shall be made in United States Dollars by check or by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by Pharmexa.
4.2 Initial Credit. As partial consideration for the assets obtained by Pharmexa from IDM in
connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, Pharmexa hereby grants to IDM a credit of USD$900,000
toward the receipt of Services during the [. . . *** . . .] of this Agreement. As a result, the
Services provided by Pharmexa to IDM during such period shall be evidenced by invoices to IDM which
are marked as “paid” until such USD$900,000 credit has been applied to amounts IDM would otherwise
owe to Pharmexa therefor.
4.3 Records; Audit. Pharmexa shall keep complete and correct records of the time and amounts
for which IDM is invoiced hereunder. Pharmexa will allow IDM to appoint
| * | Confidential Treatment | |||
| Requested Under 17 C.F.R. §§ | ||||
| 200.80(b)(4) AND 240.24b-2(b)(1) |
6
a firm of independent certified public accountants, reasonably acceptable to Pharmexa, to audit
such records. Pharmexa shall give such accountants access, during ordinary business hours and
subject to reasonable advance notice, to such records as are necessary to verify the accuracy of
any time and amounts for which IDM is invoiced under this Agreement for a period covering not more
than the preceding [. . . *** . . .]. Such access shall be granted no more than once in a [. . .
*** . . .], at IDM’s expense. The independent certified public accountants shall be under a
confidentiality obligation to Pharmexa to disclose to IDM in such accountants’ report only
information about the time and amounts for which IDM is invoiced under this Agreement. In the
event it is determined that the records indicate that IDM was invoiced by Pharmexa for more than
was appropriate, Pharmexa shall reimburse such amounts to IDM within [. . . *** . . .] of such
accountant’s report, and if that difference is greater, over the course of any three (3) month
period and by a margin of [. . . *** . . .] or more of the amounts that should have been invoiced,
then the costs and expenses of said independent certified public accountants shall be borne by
Pharmexa.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION.
5.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full
force and effect during the Term unless terminated early in accordance with this Section 5.
5.2 Termination by IDM. IDM may terminate this Agreement or any individual Task Order upon
written notice upon [. . . *** . . .] prior written notice to Pharmexa. Any such notice will
specify whether Pharmexa should complete any Task Orders in progress. IDM will reimburse Pharmexa
for any unrecoverable costs incurred by Pharmexa with respect to Task Orders in progress which are
cancelled by IDM.
5.3 Termination by Pharmexa. Pharmexa may terminate this Agreement at any time after the [. .
. *** . . .] hereof upon [. . . *** . . .] prior written notice to IDM. Pharmexa will complete any
Task Orders in progress as of the date it delivers notice of termination at IDM’s request, provided
that such request is submitted by IDM to Pharmexa in writing not later than [. . . *** . . .] after
the date on which IDM receives Pharmexa’s notice of termination.
5.4 Termination of Agreement for Material Breach. Each Party may terminate this Agreement if
the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and such breaching Party fails to cure the
breach within [. . . *** . . .] after receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party
specifying in detail the nature of such breach.
5.5 Survival. Termination of this Agreement shall terminate all Task Orders to the extent
specified in Section 5.2. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights
or obligations that have accrued prior thereto or in connection therewith. Sections 3.5 (last
sentence only), 5.5, 9.3, 12.1, 12.2, 12.7 and 12.15 and 12.16 (with respect to Sections 12.15 and
12.16, for the term specified in such Sections 12.15 and 12.16) and Articles 6, 7, 8 and 11 shall
survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall be binding upon the Parties’
respective successors and permitted assigns.

6. INSPECTIONS.
6.1 Regulatory Inspections. Pharmexa shall promptly notify IDM of any material regulatory
inspections relating to the Services by any government agency or other regulatory entity of which
it becomes aware. Pharmexa shall have the primary responsibility for preparing any responses
relating to the method of performing the Services and Pharmexa’s operations and procedures,
provided that (i) IDM will immediately notify Pharmexa if and when any such responses are required
by regulatory agencies and will cooperate with Pharmexa to obtain the maximum reasonable time for
the response to be prepared and (ii) Pharmexa will have the right to allocate its available
resources among its obligations under this Section 6.1 and its own regulatory responses in such
manner as it shall reasonably determine, at all times taking into consideration IDM’s regulatory
obligations.
6.2 Site Visits by IDM. IDM’s representatives may visit Pharmexa’s facilities at reasonable
times and with reasonable frequency during normal business hours to observe the performance of
Services, provided that such visits do not unreasonably interfere with Pharmexa’s operations and
that Pharmexa shall not be obligated to provide IDM personnel with access to any activities or
information not directly related to outstanding Task Orders. IDM will provide advance notice of
its intent to visit and Pharmexa will assist IDM in scheduling such visits.
7. OWNERSHIP.
7.1 Disclosure of Project Inventions. Pharmexa shall notify IDM in writing of any and all
discoveries, inventions and improvements, whether patentable or not, conceived or reduced to
practice by any employee or contractor of Pharmexa as a result of conducting the Services (each a
“Project Invention”) promptly after each such conception or reduction to practice. Inventorship of
Inventions shall be determined in accordance with the rules of inventorship under United States
patent laws. The foregoing definition of “Project Invention” specifically excludes anything that
falls within the definition of an “Invention” under the EIS License Agreement, the reporting and
ownership of which are described in the EIS License Agreement.
7.2 IDM Inventions. Pharmexa agrees and acknowledges that IDM shall own all right, title, and
interest in and to all Project Inventions conceived or reduced to practice in the performance of
Services, whether solely by employees or contractors of Pharmexa or IDM, or jointly by one or more
employees or contractors of Pharmexa and one or more employees or contractors of IDM, and all
intellectual property rights arising therefrom (the “IDM Project Inventions”). Pharmexa hereby
agrees to assign and transfer to IDM all right, title and interest in and to such IDM Project
Inventions (or if such assignment and transfer is not permitted by law, Pharmexa agrees to waive
such rights or grant to IDM an exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license
under such rights for any and all purposes) and agrees to take all further acts reasonably required
to evidence such assignment and transfer, or license, as applicable, to IDM at IDM’s expense;
provided that with respect to IDM Project Inventions conceived or reduced to practice by Pharmexa
employees and/or contractors, and any Patents obtained thereon, IDM shall grant to Pharmexa a
non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, worldwide license to use such IDM Project Inventions to
perform the Services.
8
Pharmexa has or shall, prior to the initiation of any Services, enter into an agreement with each
employee or agent of Pharmexa performing work in connection with the Services, pursuant to which
such person shall grant all rights in the IDM Project Inventions to Pharmexa such that Pharmexa may
assign and transfer or license, as applicable, such rights to IDM in accordance with this Section
7.2. All IDM Project Inventions and any information with respect thereto shall be IDM Confidential
Information subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 8.
7.3 Project Data. IDM shall own all right, title and interest in and to all Project Data, and
all reports and biological or chemical specimens generated by Pharmexa as a result of performing
the Services. All Project Data and any information with respect thereto shall be IDM Confidential
Information subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 8.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY.
8.1 Confidential Information. The Parties acknowledge that in connection with this Agreement,
the Parties may exchange Confidential Information. At all times during the term of this Agreement
and for a period of [. . . *** . . .] thereafter, each Party shall keep the other Party’s
Confidential Information secret and confidential and not use the other Party’s Confidential
Information for any purpose other than as permitted herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, consultants, subcontractors
and sublicensees in connection with the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights,
as applicable, under this Agreement, provided that the recipient Party must obtain the prior
written agreement of all such employees, agents, consultants, subcontactors and sublicensees to
whom it may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information not to use or disclose such
Confidential Information for any purpose other than those purposes permitted by this Agreement.
Each Party agrees that it will take the same measures to protect the confidentiality of the other
Party’s Confidential Information which it takes with respect to its own confidential and
proprietary information, but not less than reasonable care. Each Party will promptly notify the
other upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
8.2 Exceptions to Confidential Information. The obligations of a Party receiving Confidential
Information from the other Party shall not apply to any information to the extent it can be
established by the receiving Party by competent written proof that such information (a) was in the
public domain as of the Effective Date; (b) becomes part of the public domain subsequent to the
Effective Date by publication or otherwise, except by breach of Section 8.1 by the receiving Party
or its employees, agents, consultants or sublicensees; (c) is received by the receiving Party from
a third party that has the legal right to disclose such information without restriction; or (d) was
independently developed by employees of the receiving Party that did not have access to or
knowledge of the information disclosed by the disclosing Party.
8.3 Disclosure Required by Law. In the event a Party is required to disclose Confidential
Information of the other Party pursuant to a valid and effective subpoena or order issued by a
court of competent jurisdiction or other legal process or by law, rule or regulation, the receiving
Party will (i) immediately notify the disclosing Party that it is subject
| * | Confidential Treatment | |||
| Requested Under 17 C.F.R. §§ | ||||
| 200.80(b)(4) AND 240.24b-2(b)(1) |
9
to such legally required disclosure, (ii) consult with the disclosing Party on the advisability of
taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such compelled disclosure, (iii) reasonably
assist the disclosing Party, at the disclosing Party’s request and expense, in such disclosing
Party’s efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information, to the extent such
assistance is commercially reasonable, and (iv) limit disclosure to only the Confidential
Information the receiving Party’s legal counsel advises must be disclosed in order to comply with
the legal requirement.
8.4 Return of Confidential Information. Upon the termination of this Agreement, each Party
will return or destroy all tangible copies of any Confidential Information provided to it by the
other Party, provided, that each Party may retain one (1) copy of the Confidential Information for
use solely for the purpose of determining and monitoring their respective rights and obligations
under this Agreement.
8.5 Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party’s Confidential
Information constitutes unique and valuable trade secrets and that the unauthorized disclosure or
use of the Confidential Information would result in irreparable harm to the other Party for which
monetary damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Parties agree that in the event of any
breach or threatened breach of Section 8.1, the non-breaching Party will be entitled to obtain
injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to all other remedies available to it, and the
breaching Party will not claim as a defense thereto that the non-breaching Party has an adequate
remedy at law. In any such action for injunctive or equitable relief the non-breaching Party shall
not be required to post a bond or other security.
8.6 Disclosure of Agreement. Except as required by law or regulation, including, without
limitation, requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any exchange or market upon
which the securities of a Party are then traded or listed, neither Party shall release to any third
party or publish in any way any non-public information relating to this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event
a disclosure is required pursuant to this Section 8.6, the disclosing Party will give reasonable
advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure, will consult with the other Party as to the
provisions of the Agreement to be redacted in any filings, and will use reasonable efforts to
secure confidential treatment of such information.
9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
9.1 General Representations. Each Party hereby represents and warrants to the other as
follows:
(a) Authority. It is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, is qualified to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the

11. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
11.1 Indemnification by IDM. IDM shall indemnify, defend, and hold Pharmexa, its Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents (each, a “Pharmexa
Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, cost or expense,
including, without limitation, any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations,
audits, demands, assessments, fines, judgments, costs and other reasonable expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and other litigation expenses) incident to any of the foregoing
(collectively, “Losses”) incurred by such Pharmexa Indemnitee as a result of any third party claim,
action, suit, claim or proceeding attributable to or arising from
11
(a) any breach by IDM of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this
Agreement, (b) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of IDM in performing under this

Services, except to the extent that such Losses are attributable to the breach by Pharmexa of any
of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement or the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of a Pharmexa Indemnitee.
11.2 Indemnification by Pharmexa. Pharmexa shall indemnify, defend, and hold IDM, its
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents (each, an

result of any third party claim, action, suit, claim or proceeding attributable to or arising from
(a) any breach by Pharmexa of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this

this Agreement, except to the extent that such Losses are attributable to the breach by IDM of any
of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement or the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of an IDM Indemnitee.
11.3 Certain Procedures Regarding Indemnification. All claims for indemnification under this
Agreement shall be made as follows:
(a) In the event a claim is made against an Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee would be
entitled to indemnification hereunder (a “Claim”), the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor of
such Claim, specifying the nature and the amount of the Claim (the “Claim Notice”). The Claim
Notice must be delivered within [. . . *** . . .] after the Indemnitee becomes aware of the Claim,
provided that the failure of the Indemnitee to comply with such requirement shall not relieve the
Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder unless the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced in the
defense of the Claim due to such failure on the part of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor shall have
the right to undertake and control the defense of any Claim at its expense through counsel of its
own choosing (subject to the Indemnitee’s consent to such counsel, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Indemnitor undertakes the defense of a Claim: (i) the
Indemnitor shall not permit to exist any lien, encumbrance or other adverse charge upon any asset
of the Indemnitee; (ii) the Indemnitor may not settle such action without first obtaining the
written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
except for settlements solely covering monetary matters for which the Indemnitor acknowledges
responsibility for payment; and (iii) the Indemnitor shall permit the Indemnitee (at the
Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense) to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel
chosen by the Indemnitee.
(b) The Indemnitee agrees to preserve and provide access to all evidence in its possession or control
that may be useful in defending against a Claim and to provide reasonable cooperation in the
defense thereof or in the prosecution of any action against a third party in connection therewith
at the Indemnitor’s expense. The Indemnitor’s defense of any Claim or demand shall not constitute
an admission or concession of liability therefor or
| * | Confidential Treatment | |||
| Requested Under 17 C.F.R. §§ | ||||
| 200.80(b)(4) AND 240.24b-2(b)(1) |
12
otherwise operate in derogation of any rights the Indemnitor may have against the Indemnitee or any
third party. So long as the Indemnitor is reasonably contesting any such Claim in good faith, the
Indemnitee shall not pay or settle any such Claim.
(c) If the Indemnitor elects not to undertake the defense of the Claim, the Indemnitee shall
have the right to assume the defense of the Claim through counsel of its own choosing and contest,
settle or compromise the Claim in the exercise of its exclusive discretion at the expense of the
Indemnitor. All reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.3(c)
shall be reimbursed by the Indemnitor within [. . . *** . . .] of receipt of competent written
evidence of such expenses.
11.4 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in
no event shall either Party hereto have any liability for consequential, incidental, special or
punitive damages incurred by an Indemnitee; provided that amounts paid by an Indemnitee to a third
party pursuant to an arbitration or court award, including the foregoing types of damages that are
paid by the Indemnitee, shall be considered direct damages of the Indemnitee for which it will be
entitled to indemnification from the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article 11; provided further that
this Section 11.4 shall not restrict or limit a Party’s liability for breach of Section 8.1.
11.5 Resolution of Disputed Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnitor gives the Indemnitee
written notice contesting all or any portion of a Claim (a “Contested Claim”), then such Contested
Claim shall be resolved by either (i) a written settlement agreement or memorandum executed by the
Indemnitee and the Indemnitor or (ii) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement within
[. . . *** . . .] following receipt by the Indemnitee of the Contested Claim from the Indemnitor,
by binding arbitration between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor in accordance with the terms and
provisions of Section 12.1.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1 Arbitration.
(a) In the event any dispute, claim, question or difference between the Parties (a “Dispute”)
arises with respect to this Agreement or its performance, enforcement, breach, termination or
validity, other than Patent issues or the interpretation, application, termination or validity
thereof, the Parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to settle the Dispute. To this
end, they shall consult and negotiate with each other, in good faith and understanding of their
mutual interests, to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to all Parties. If the
Parties do not reach a solution to the Dispute within a period [. . . *** . . .] following the
first written notice of the Dispute by any Party to the other, then upon written notice by any
Party to the other, the Dispute may be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association then in effect based upon the following:
(i) the arbitration tribunal shall consist of [. . . *** . . .] appointed by mutual agreement of
the Parties;
| * | Confidential Treatment | |||
| Requested Under 17 C.F.R. §§ | ||||
| 200.80(b)(4) AND 240.24b-2(b)(1) |
13
(ii) the arbitration award shall be given in writing and shall be final and binding on the
Parties, and shall deal with the question of costs of arbitration and all related matters;
(iii) judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application
may be made to the court for a judicial recognition of the award or an order of enforcement, as the
case may be;
(iv) the arbitrator shall decide any dispute in accordance with the law governing this
Agreement, including equity, and may order specific performance, injunctions and other equitable
remedies; and
(v) the arbitration will be held in San Diego, California.
(b) Notwithstanding the commencement of arbitration under this Section 12.1, at any time
either Party may proceed directly to a court of competent jurisdiction for any available injunctive
or other equitable remedy to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo or preserve the
subject matter of an arbitration. The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur and that the
Parties may not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this
Agreement in any federal or state court located in the State of New York, this being in addition to
any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
(c) If any legal action, arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of
this Agreement, or because of any alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in
connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing Party shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred therein, in addition to
any other relief to which it or they may be entitled. The court or arbitrator shall consider, in
determining the prevailing Party, (x) which Party obtains relief which most nearly reflects the
remedy or relief which the Parties sought, and (y) any settlement offers made prior to commencement
of the trial in the proceeding. For any legal proceeding instituted hereunder, the parties consent
to the exclusive venue of the state and federal courts located in San Diego, California.
12.2 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written
consent of the other Party, provided this Agreement and its rights and obligations may be assigned
by either Party without such consent (a) to their respective Affiliates and (b) in connection with
the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the business to which the subject matter of
this Agreement relates to a third party, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or
otherwise. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement not in compliance with this Section 12.2
shall be null and void. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each
Party signatory hereto, its successors and permitted assigns. No assignment shall relieve either
Party of the performance of any accrued obligation that such Party may then have under this
Agreement.
14
12.3 Relationship of Parties. The relationship between the Parties is that of independent
contractors. Neither Party, nor any employee or agent of a Party, shall have the authority to bind
or act on behalf of the other Party without its prior written consent. No employee or agent of
Pharmexa shall be considered to be an employee of IDM or entitled to participate in any benefit
plan of IDM or its Affiliates. This Agreement shall not constitute, create, or in any way be
interpreted as a joint venture, partnership or business organization of any kind. Pharmexa
acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither federal, nor state, nor local income tax nor payroll tax
of any kind shall be withheld or paid by IDM on behalf of Pharmexa or the employees of Pharmexa;
(b) no workers’ compensation insurance shall be obtained by IDM concerning Pharmexa or any
employees of Pharmexa; and (c) Pharmexa is responsible to pay, according to applicable law,
Pharmexa’s income taxes.
12.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and all Task Orders attached hereto,
together with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements (as such term is
defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) shall constitute the entire understanding of the Parties
hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be changed or modified except in a writing
and signed by authorized representatives of the Parties. All prior agreements, whether written or
oral, between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof are superseded by this Agreement
and are of no further or effect as of the Effective Date. Except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, no subsequent amendment, modification or addition to this Agreement shall be binding
upon the Parties hereto unless reduced to writing and signed by the respective authorized officers
of the Parties.
12.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed void in whole or in
part for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any such provision with a valid and
enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement
may be realized.
12.6 Non-Waiver. No failure or delay of one of the Parties to insist upon strict performance
of any of its rights or powers under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any other single or partial exercise of such right or power preclude any other further exercise of
any rights or remedies provided by law.
12.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the
State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the
application of the laws of a different state.
12.8 Force Majeure. A Party shall be excused from performing its obligations under this
Agreement if its performance is delayed or prevented by any event beyond such Party’s reasonable
control, including but not limited to, acts of God, fire, explosion, weather, disease, war,
insurrection, civil strife, riots, government action, power failure, earthquake or terrorism,
provided that such performance shall be excused only to the extent of and during such event. The
affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure
15
circumstances as soon as reasonably practical and shall take reasonable efforts to remove the
condition constituting force majeure or to avoid its affects so as to resume performance as soon as
practicable.
12.9 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in
