PRIOR AGREEMENT
PRIOR AGREEMENT
2.1 | Prior Agreement Novated. The terms and conditions of the Prior Agreement related to the sale by Lilly to InterMune of certain documents, rights, technology and Product Inventory as defined in the Prior Agreement, and InterMune’s payment at the Closing Date of the Prior Agreement have been fully performed and satisfied. This Agreement is a novation of the Prior Agreement and, except as expressly set forth herein, supersedes the Prior Agreement in its entirety. Lilly and Licensee hereby expressly release and forever discharge and covenant not to xxx the other party and its successor, assigns and predecessors, as well as all its directors, officers, employees, equity holders, representatives, agents and attorneys, from and for any and all debts, actions, accounts, suits, covenants, agreements, demands, claims, damages, causes of action and liabilities, whether liquidated or non-liquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, related to the Prior Agreement, that such party asserted, or could have asserted, against the other party by reason of any acts or omissions of the first party related to the Prior Agreement prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, payment by InterMune to Lilly of the Ten Million Dollar ($10,000,000) milestone due under Section 2.2 of the Prior Agreement “upon completion of Phase III Clinical Trials necessary to support first submission of NDA with FDA for Regulatory Approval,” except for Damages (as defined in the Prior Agreement) to the extent caused by or arising out of or in connection with (i) any claim for any breach of this Agreement; (ii) any breach by the Receiving Party of the requirements of the Prior Agreement with respect to Confidential Information (as defined in the Prior Agreement); (iii) any claim to the extent caused by or arising out of or in connection with the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Prior Agreement) prior to the Effective Date and (iv) obligations of indemnification under Article 11 of the Prior Agreement to the extent caused by or arising out of or in connection with such obligations prior to the Effective Date (items (ii) through (iv) the “Prior Claims”). | |
2.2 | Consent to Assignment. Pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Prior Agreement and this Agreement, by executing this Agreement Lilly hereby ratifies this Agreement and indicates its approval of the assignment to Targanta of all of Licensee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than the Prior Claims). Contingent upon the consummation of the proposed transaction with Targanta, InterMune will retain only the obligations associated with the Prior Claims and will have no other rights or obligations under this Agreement, and all such other rights and obligations under this Agreement |

shall be assumed by Targanta. For clarity, Targanta will not assume any of InterMune’s obligations under the Prior Agreement which are not expressly set forth herein or in the APA. For the avoidance of doubt, Lilly shall have no responsibility for Assumed Liabilities or for any Damages that are covered by indemnification obligations from and after the Closing Date of the Prior Agreement and such Assumed Liabilities and Damages are the responsibility and liability of InterMune if they are based on facts or circumstances first accruing from the Closing Date until the Effective Date and are the responsibility and liability of Targanta if they are based on facts or circumstances first accruing after the Effective Date. Similarly, InterMune shall have no responsibility for Excluded Liabilities (as defined in the Prior Agreement) or for any Damages that are covered by indemnification obligations prior to the Effective Date, and Targanta shall have no responsibility for Excluded Liabilities or for any Damages that that are covered by indemnification obligations subsequent to the Effective Date, and such Excluded Liabilities and Damages shall remain the responsibility and liability of Lilly under this Agreement and the Prior Agreement. |

3.3 | Royalty Payment. |
(a) Payments. Licensee will pay to Lilly the Royalty Payment within
[***]-[***] ([***]) [***] of the end of each Calendar Quarter, without regard to whether any
Permitted Seller’s customer has actually paid Licensee. For purposes of this Section 3.4, a
Net Sale of Product will be deemed to have been made as of the date of shipment of the
Product to the Permitted Seller’s customer, without regard to whether its customer has
actually paid Licensee. All payments to Lilly pursuant to this Section 3.4 will be made by
Licensee by an electronic funds transfer system designated or approved by Lilly unless
otherwise instructed by Lilly.
(b) Payment of Tiered Royalties. In calculating Royalty Payments payable in
accordance with Section 3.2 above, Net Sales occurring during a specific Calendar Year will
be aggregated at the end of each Calendar Quarter during such year, and the applicable
royalty percentage(s) will be applied to that portion of the Net Sales that occurred during
the most recently completed Calendar Quarter.

Licensee will mail such reports to the attention of: [***]. | |
3.5 | Taxes. If laws or regulations require the withholding of taxes on any Royalty Payment due Lilly, Licensee will deduct such taxes from the Royalty Payment and remit the tax to the proper tax authority. Licensee will provide Lilly with proof of payment within thirty (30) days after payment. Licensee will cooperate fully and promptly in pursuing a refund of such tax, if such refund is appropriate in Lilly’s determination. | |
3.6 | Late Payments. Any amounts not paid by Licensee when due under this Agreement and which are not subject to a good faith dispute will be subject to interest from and including the date payment is due through and including the date upon which Lilly has collected the funds in accordance herewith at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of [***] ([***]) plus the prime rate of interest quoted in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, calculated daily on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed by law. | |

3.8 | Currency of Payment. All payments to be made under this Agreement will be made in U.S. Dollars. | |
3.9 | Financial Audits. Licensee will keep full and accurate books and records relating to the performance required of it under this Agreement. Lilly will have the right, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to have such books and records of Licensee audited no more than one (1) time per Calendar Year so as to verify the accuracy of the information previously reported to Lilly. Lilly will, for purposes of such audit, utilize only the services of an independent certified public accounting firm selected by Lilly and approved by Licensee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Such audit may cover the two (2) Calendar Years preceding the date of the request for such audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no audit of Licensee pursuant to this Section 2.10 will cover any period of time preceding the Effective Date. Such accountants will keep confidential any information obtained during such audit and will, report to Lilly only their conclusions. The cost of such audit will be borne by Lilly; however, if such audit reveals an underpayment to Lilly of [***] [***] ([***]) or more, the cost of the audit will be borne by Licensee. Within thirty (30) days after both Parties have received a copy of an audit report, Licensee or Lilly, as appropriate, will compensate the other Party for payment errors or omissions revealed by the audit. Licensee will include in all sublicenses granted in accordance herewith, and any other agreements enabling a Third Person to be a Permitted Seller, an audit provision substantially similar to the foregoing requiring such Permitted Seller to keep full and accurate books and records relating to the |

3.10 | Compulsory License. If a Third Person obtains a Compulsory License (as defined below) in a specific country, then Lilly will promptly notify Licensee thereof. If the royalty percentage(s) payable by the grantee of the Compulsory License is less than the royalty percentage(s) applicable in such country as set forth in Sections 3.2, above, then such royalty percentage(s) will be reduced to the royalty percentage(s) under such Compulsory License for so long as sales of Product are made pursuant to the Compulsory License. “Compulsory License” means a compulsory license under the Licensed Patents obtained by a Third Person through the order, decree or grant of a competent governmental authority authorizing such Third Person to manufacture, use, sell, offer for sale or import the Product in a specific country. |

OF THE PARTIES
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.
OF THE PARTIES
7.1 | Compliance with Law. Licensee will comply with all Applicable Laws relating to its development, manufacture, distributing, marketing, promotion, selling, importing and exporting of the Product. | |
7.2 | Expenses. Lilly and Licensee will each bear their own direct and indirect expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and, except as set forth in this Agreement, the performance of the obligations contemplated hereby. | |
7.3 | Diligence. After the Effective Date, Licensee has sole responsibility for all aspects of developing, obtaining Regulatory Approval for, manufacturing and commercializing the Initial Product throughout the Territory. Licensee will devote Commercially Reasonable Efforts (as defined in the following sentence) to obtain and maintain Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product in the United States or to commercialize Initial Product in the United States. For purposes of this section only, “Commercially Reasonable Efforts” means the level of effort, expertise and resources that a similarly situated biopharmaceutical company would typically devote to commercialization of a product of similar marketing potential, profit potential or strategic value, based on conditions then prevailing. If Lilly believes that Licensee is not devoting Commercially Reasonable Efforts for the Initial Product in any country, Lilly will notify Licensee in writing detailing its specific concerns and recommendations, and the Parties will meet within [***] ([***]) [***] of such written notice to discuss such concerns and recommendations. After the last of such meeting(s), Licensee will have [***] ([***]) [***] to devote its Commercially Reasonable Efforts as set forth above. If Licensee subsequently defaults and does not devote Commercially Reasonable Efforts for the Initial Product in any country, Lilly will have the right to terminate the licenses granted in this Agreement to Licensee for such specific country pursuant to Section 10.1(c), below, [***] [***] ([***]) [***], and Licensee will grant to Lilly an exclusive license to all rights, Licensee Technology and data that are useful and necessary for Lilly to obtain (or maintain) Regulatory Approval to |

7.4 | Publicity. The Parties agree that no publicity release or announcement concerning this Agreement will be issued without the advance written consent of the other, except as such release or announcement may be required by law, in which case the Party making the release or announcement will, before making any such release or announcement, afford the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release or announcement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4 and Article 9 to the contrary, each Party may make filings that are required by Applicable Laws to the Securities and Exchange Commission (and any applicable securities exchanges) that discuss the subject matter of this Agreement or otherwise make reference to the other Party in any way whatsoever; provided, however, that such Party provides the other Party with no less than [***] ([***]) [***]; provided further, however, that, such Party will use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment by such security exchanges with respect thereto. | |
7.5 | Cooperation. If either Party becomes engaged in or participates in any investigation, claim, litigation or other proceeding with any Third Person, including the FDA, relating in any way to the Product, the other Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects with such Party in connection therewith, including, without limitation, using its reasonable efforts to make available to the other such employees who may be helpful with respect to such investigation, claim, litigation or other proceeding, provided that, for purposes of this provision, reasonable efforts to make available any employee will be deemed to mean providing a Party with reasonable access to any such employee at no cost for a period of time not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours (e.g., three (3) eight (8) -hour business days). Thereafter, any such employee will be made available for such time and upon such terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, compensation) as the Parties may mutually agree. | |
7.6 | Conflicting Rights. Neither Party will grant any right to any Third Person which would violate the terms of or conflict with the rights granted by such Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement. | |

7.8 | Intellectual Property Maintenance. Licensed Patents shall be filed, prosecuted and maintained worldwide by a third-party patent counsel acceptable to Licensee and Lilly. Licensee shall have the ultimate responsibility for and control over such matters and shall bear all expenses incurred in filing, prosecuting and maintaining Licensed Patents. Licensee or its designee shall keep Lilly fully informed of the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Licensed Patents, and shall furnish to Lilly copies of documents relevant to any such efforts in advance with sufficient time for Lilly to review and provide comments on such documents, and shall use its reasonable efforts to incorporate the comments and suggestions of Lilly. Licensee shall not, without providing Lilly with |

15
prior written notice and sufficient time for Lilly to review and provide comment, [***]. To the extent that Lilly does not agree with any such action that is desired by Licensee, in the case of a patent application affected by such action, Lilly may file and assume control of any patent application or foreign counterpart of a patent application filed by Lilly prior to the Closing Date that Lilly wishes to pursue at Lilly’s sole expense, provided that Licensee may retain control of the parent patent application so affected. Lilly shall provide Licensee with any assistance reasonably necessary to support the filing, prosecution or maintenance of Licensed Patents. If Licensee decides to allow any Licensed Patent that is an International Patent Application (filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty) or regional patent application (filed under the applicable regional patent convention treaty) pending as of the Closing Date to lapse without entry of the national phase in one or more countries designated in such application, or if Licensee wishes to abandon or allow to lapse any Licensed Patent that is a national patent application or patent pending or in force as of the Closing Date, Licensee shall notify Lilly in writing not less than sixty (60) days prior to taking such action, and Licensee shall thereby surrender to Lilly its rights under the patent or patent application in the country or countries so affected and Lilly may assume control of the same at Lilly’s sole expense. | ||
7.9 | No Fiduciary Relationship. The Parties hereby expressly agree and acknowledge that they do not intend to create any type of fiduciary relationship as a result of the provisions set forth in Section 7.8, above. Without limitation or condition of the foregoing, Lilly agrees to provide Licensee’s agent with any and all powers of attorney and other instruments necessary for Licensee to conduct the filing, prosecution or maintenance of the Licensed Patents as provided in Section 7.8, above, and Lilly acknowledges that any such power of attorney will make Licensee’s agent an attorney-in-fact for Lilly with respect to the matter specified in the power of attorney or other instrument but will not create an attorney/client relationship or any other fiduciary relationship between Lilly and Licensee’s agent. Lilly shall promptly inform Licensee as to all matters that come to Lilly’s attention that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of the Licensed Patents, including without limitation any prior art of which Lilly or any representative of Lilly knows or has reason to know is material to the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of the Licensed Patents, provided that Lilly will have no obligation beyond that required of Lilly under 37 CFR § 1.56 with respect to U.S. patent applications and that Lilly will have obligations of corresponding scope with respect to foreign patent applications as required under foreign patent regulations. | |
7.10 | Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. |
(a) Right to Seek Relief. Each Party will promptly notify the other of any
infringement or suspected infringement which may come to its notice of any intellectual
property rights relating to the Product, including, without limitation, the Licensed
Technology, and will provide such other Party with any information with respect thereto. If
a Third Person infringes any [***] the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Technology, Licensee
will have the first right (but not the obligation) to pursue any and all injunctive relief,
and any or all compensatory and other remedies and relief (collectively, “Remedies”),
against such Third Person. Should

16
Licensee determine not to pursue Remedies with respect to any such intellectual property
within [***] ([***]) [***] after receipt of written notice from Lilly requesting Licensee to
do so, then Lilly will have the right (but not the obligation) to pursue Remedies against
such Third Person; provided, however, that such written notice from Lilly to Licensee must
prominently state that Licensee must take action on the subject matter contained within the
notice within [***] ([***]) [***] of Licensee’s receipt thereof.
(b) Assistance and Cooperation. If a Party pursues Remedies hereunder, the
other Party will use all reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the Party pursuing
such Remedies. Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses relating to such pursuit.
Any damages or other amounts collected will be distributed, [***], to the Party that pursued
Remedies to cover its costs and expenses and, [***] the other Party to cover its costs and
expenses, if any, relating to the pursuit of such Remedies; any remaining amount will [***].
7.11 | Infringement of Third Person Rights. If a Third Person institutes a patent, trade secret or other infringement suit against Licensee, a permitted sublicensee or a Permitted Seller during the term of this Agreement, alleging that the manufacture, marketing, sale or use of the Product infringes one or more patent or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Person, then Licensee will have the first right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to assume direction and control of the defense of such claims. Should Licensee determine not to pursue the defense of a particular claim within [***] ([***] [***] after notice from Lilly, then Lilly will have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to assume direction and control of such claims. Licensee will not have the right to settle or otherwise dispose of any such claim without the consent of Lilly, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. | |
7.12 | No Liens. Licensee will keep the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology free from all liens and encumbrances. | |
7.13 | Debarment. If at any time a Party uses in any capacity the services of any Person debarred under subsections 306(a) or (b) of the GDE Act, such Party will immediately notify the other Party thereof. | |
7.14 | Licensee Technology. Licensee will be the sole owner of the Licensee Technology, subject to Section 7.3, above, and Section 10.2(a)(iii), below. | |
7.15 | Covenant Not to Xxx.

9.1 | Confidential Information. The Parties agree that, at all times during the term of this Agreement and for a [***] following its expiration or earlier termination, the Receiving Party will keep completely confidential, will not publish or otherwise disclose and will not use directly or indirectly for any purpose other than as contemplated by this Agreement any such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, whether such Confidential Information was received by the Receiving Party prior to, on or after the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 10
TERMINATION
TERMINATION
10.1 | Termination. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated as follows: |
(a) Expiration. The term of this Agreement will begin upon the Effective Date

on a country-by-country basis in the Territory until Licensee and its Permitted Sellers have
no remaining Royalty Payment obligations in a specific country under Section 3.2 above.
Upon expiration of the Agreement in any country pursuant to this Section, Licensee will
have: (i) a fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive (except as reserved by Lilly

competent jurisdiction by the other Party, or the other Party makes or executes any
assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(c) Termination for Default. Either Lilly or Targanta may terminate this Agreement

specifying in reasonable detail the alleged material breach or material default,
20
and if such alleged material breach or material default continues unremedied for a period of
[***]([***])[***] with respect to monetary breaches or defaults after the date of receipt of
the notification, or [***] ([***]) [***] with respect to non-monetary material breaches or
material defaults after the date of receipt of the notification or, if the non-monetary

be exclusive and will not be in lieu of any other remedies available to a Party hereto for
any breach or default hereunder on the part of the other Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent a material breach or material default of this Agreement by Targanta
affects Targanta’s performance and Lilly’s rights under this Agreement as it relates to one
or more jurisdictions, but not all jurisdictions, Lilly may terminate this Agreement in
accordance with this Section 10.1(c) as to the affected jurisdiction or jurisdictions only,
and in such case this Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to the
jurisdictions not so affected.
10.2 | Rights Upon Termination under Section 10.1. |
(a) Lilly’s Rights Upon Termination for Insolvency or Default of Licensee. If
Lilly terminates this Agreement under Section 10.1 (b) or (c), above, then the following
will take effect:
(i) Reversion of Licensed Patents and Licensed Technology. All rights under
the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology granted by Lilly to Licensee pursuant to
Article 4, above, will terminate and all rights granted therein will immediately revert to
Lilly with no further notice or action required on Lilly’s behalf; provided, however, that
if the termination relates only to a specific country, then only the licenses pertaining to
such country will revert to Lilly hereunder.
(ii) Reversion of Patent Maintenance Responsibilities. Upon the effective
date of the termination of this Agreement, the sole responsibility for preparing, filing,
prosecuting and maintaining the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology will revert
back to Lilly with no further notice or action required on Lilly’s behalf; provided,
however, that if the termination relates only to a specific country, then only the patent
maintenance obligations pertaining to such country will revert to Lilly hereunder. In such
case, Licensee will maintain its patent responsibilities for all other Licensed Patents and
Licensed Technology.
(iii) Non-Exclusive License and Access to Licensee Technology.
(A) Initial Product(s). Licensee will grant to Lilly a non-exclusive, world-wide,
[***] license, with a right to sublicense, under Licensee Technology to the extent that it
relates to Lilly’s ability to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell and import the
Initial Product solely in, and for use in, the country or countries in which Licensee’s
rights to the Initial Product were so terminated. In addition to the

it relates to Lilly’s ability to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell and import any
other Products (namely, any Products other than Initial Product) solely in, and for use in,
the country or countries in which Licensee’s rights to the Initial Product were so
terminated. Such license shall be [***] ([***]). In addition to the license granted under
this Section, Licensee also agrees to provide Lilly, at Lilly’s expense, reasonable access
and reference to, copies of, and use of Licensee Technology, [***], to the extent [***] to
make, use, offer to sell, sell and import such other Products in, and for use in, such
country or countries.
(ii) Disposition of Product Inventory Upon Termination. If Lilly terminates
this Agreement after Licensee has obtained a Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product,
Licensee will offer to sell to Lilly or its designee, [***] as determined by
Licensee’s records (maintained in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied) for the [***] prior to the termination, Licensee’s inventory of the Initial Product existing on
the date of termination (“Licensee Product Inventory”). Licensee will be entitled to finish
manufacturing any work-in-process into the Initial Product, and such newly made Initial
Product will be considered Licensee Product Inventory hereunder. If termination of this
Agreement relates only to a specific country, the provisions of this Subsection are
applicable only to Licensee’s Initial Product inventories for the country where such
termination occurred.
(b) Licensee Rights Upon Termination for Insolvency or Default of Lilly. If
Licensee terminates this Agreement under Section 10.1 (b) or (c), above, then (i) the
licenses under the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology granted by Lilly to Licensee
pursuant to Article 4, above, will, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, remain in full force and effect, and (ii) Licensee’s diligence obligations
under Section 7.3, above, will terminate. If the termination contemplated in this Section
10.2(b) is due to the default of Lilly, then in addition to the provisions of (i) and (ii),
above, [***] set forth in [***] above, will be [***]([***]) and [***].
10.3 | Termination of Sublicenses. If Lilly terminates this Agreement under Sections 10.1(b) or (c), above, and Licensee has granted sublicenses in accordance herewith, Lilly agrees |

10.4 | Continuing Obligations. Termination of this Agreement for any reason will not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior thereto and will be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of either Party with respect to any antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the foregoing and the rights upon termination set forth in Section 10.2, no termination of this Agreement, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, will serve to terminate the rights and obligations of the Parties hereto with respect to this Agreement as it relates to the jurisdiction(s) for which this Agreement has not been terminated, and, with respect to those jurisdictions terminated, the rights and obligations of the Parties hereto under Sections 7.4, 7.5, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and Articles 2, 3, 9, 11 and 12, and such obligations will survive any such termination. | |
10.5 | Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies set forth in this Article 10 or elsewhere in this Agreement will be in addition to, and will not be to the exclusion of, any other remedies available to the Parties at law, in equity or under this Agreement. |

INDEMNIFICATION: INSURANCE
INDEMNIFICATION: INSURANCE
11.1 | Indemnification by Lilly. Lilly will indemnify, defend and hold Licensee (and its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers and employees) harmless from and against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Licensee (and its directors, officers and employees) to the extent caused by or arising out of or in connection with: |
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Lilly in this Agreement; or
(b) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant, agreement or undertaking
on the part of Lilly contained in this Agreement;
except to the extent that such Damages are due to the negligence, gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Licensee, its Affiliates, or its or its Affiliates’ employees, agents
or contractors.
11.2 | Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee will indemnify, defend and hold Lilly (and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers and employees) harmless from and against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Lilly (and its directors, officers and employees) to the extent caused by or arising out of or in connection with: |

(b) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant, agreement or undertaking

use of the Product by such Licensee or a Permitted Seller after the Effective Date
including, but not limited to, any Third Person claim alleging breach of any express or
implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or asserting
strict liability, except to the extent such Damage is caused by a breach of this Agreement
by Lilly; or
(f) Such Licensee’s failure to comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws in
connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder;
except to the extent that such Damages are due to the negligence, gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Lilly, its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates’ employees, agents or
contractors.
11.3 | Notice and Opportunity To Defend. Promptly after receipt by a Party hereto of notice of any claim which could give rise to a right to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2, above, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) will give the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice describing the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice in the manner provided herein will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 11, except to the extent that such failure to give notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its option, to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Party seeking such indemnification; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may do so under a reservation of rights with respect to the obligation to indemnify. If the Indemnifying Party will undertake to compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it will promptly (and in any event not less than ten (10) days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s original notice) notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise or defend against any such asserted liability. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation will be borne by the Indemnifying Party subject to the Indemnifying Party’s reservation of rights. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend the asserted liability, or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to compromise or defend as herein provided, the Indemnified Party will have the right, at its option, to pay, compromise or defend such asserted liability by its own counsel and its reasonable costs, expenses, and any payment made therewith will be included as part of |
24
the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s reservation of rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim without consent of the other; provided, however, that consent to settlement or compromise will not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnified Party will make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense; provided, however, any such books, records or other documents within the control of the Indemnified Party which are made available to the Indemnifying Party hereunder will be held in strict confidence by the Indemnifying Party and will be disclosed by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party only to the extent that such books, records or other documents relate to the claim. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.3, (a) the Party conducting
the defense of a claim will (1) keep the other Party informed on a reasonable and timely
basis as to the status of the defense of such claim (but only to the extent such other Party
is not participating jointly in the defense of such claim), and (2) conduct the defense of
such claim in a prudent manner, and (b) the Indemnifying Party will not cease to defend,
settle or otherwise dispose of any claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
11.4 | Indemnification Payment Obligation. Neither Party will incur any indemnification obligations under this Article 11 until [***], at which time [***] such Damages will be covered. The provisions of this Section will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Indemnifying Party under any other Section. | |
11.5 | Indemnification Payment Adjustments. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article 11 will be reduced by the insurance proceeds received and any other amount recovered, if any, by the Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages; provided, however, that the foregoing will not under any circumstances reduce the Damages for which either Party is obligated to indemnify the other to the extent the insurance proceeds received result from a self-insurance program; provided further, however, that an Indemnified Party will not be subject to an obligation to pursue an insurance claim relating to any Damages for which indemnification is sought hereunder. To the extent the preceding sentence is applicable, if any Indemnified Party will have received any payment pursuant to this Article 11 with respect to any Damages and will subsequently have received insurance proceeds or other amounts with respect to such Damages, then such Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the difference (if any) between (a) the sum of the amount of those insurance proceeds or other amounts received and the amount of the payment by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 11 with respect to such Damages and (b) the amount necessary to fully and completely indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified |

Party from and against such Damages; provided, however, that in no event will such Indemnified Party have any obligation pursuant to this sentence to pay to such Indemnifying Party an amount greater than the amount of the payment by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 11 with respect to such Damages. | ||
11.6 | Indemnification Payment. Upon the final determination of liability and the amount of the indemnification payment under this Article 11, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Party, within ten (10) business days after such determination, the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder. | |
11.7 | Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED OR UPON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING A PARTY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ OWN NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR THE NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY’S OR A PARTY’S AFFILIATES’ EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS), ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OF, OR THE FAILURE TO PERFORM, ANY OBLIGATION(S) SET FORTH HEREIN. | |
11.8 | Insurance. Licensee will maintain at its own expense, [***] [***] to Lilly, full insurance coverage for Licensee, written on a per occurrence basis, which will [***], including, without limitation, errors and omissions insurance encompassing claims relating to Licensee’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement and comprehensive general liability insurance for claims for damages arising from bodily injury (including death) and property damages arising out of acts or omissions of Licensee, [***] [***]. Minimum limits of such insurance (not [***] [***]) will be [***] [***][***]) coverage. Maintenance of such insurance coverage will not relieve Licensee of any responsibility under this Agreement for damage in excess of insurance limits or otherwise. Licensee will provide Lilly with a certificate from the insurer(s), evidencing such insurance coverage and the insurer’s agreement to notify Lilly [***] [***] ([***]) [***] such insurance coverage. | |
11.9 | Survival. Each Indemnified Party’s rights under Article 11 will not be deemed to have been waived or otherwise affected by such Indemnified Party’s waiver of the breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant this Agreement, unless such waiver expressly and in writing also waives any or all of the Indemnified Party’s right under Article 11. |
