ARTICLE 11 - REGULATORY ASSISTANCE

Licensee shall be solely responsible for, and shall solely own, all applications for Regulatory Approval with respect to Licensed Products. Should Licensee desire to file an IND or an application for Regulatory Approval, or equivalents of the foregoing, for a Licensed Product, SGI will use reasonable commercial efforts to provide at Licensee’s request, technical information reasonably required for Licensee, including information relating to the chemical structure of the ADC, the toxin used to create such ADC, and the linker and chemistry used to create such ADC, as well as documents necessary to compile the Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls section of any application for Regulatory Approval, or to provide other toxicity and safety data for such filings, and any other relevant information as the Parties may mutually agree. Licensee shall reimburse SGI for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by SGI in providing any such information plus an amount equal to SGI’s then current FTE Fee for SGI’s personnel engaged in such activities, as set forth in Section 6.1.2. If SGI has a drug master file with the FDA or equivalent that contains information related to Drug Conjugation Materials that is useful to support an IND or application for Regulatory Approval, Licensee shall have a right of reference or access to the contents of such drug master file on mutually agreeable terms.

ARTICLE 14 - INDEMNITY

14.1 Direct Indemnity.

14.1.1 Each Party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, (collectively, the “Liabilities”) resulting from all Third Party claims, suits, actions, terminations or demands (collectively, the “Claims”) that are incurred, relate to or arise out of (a) the breach of any material provision of this Agreement by the indemnifying Party (or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Party in this Agreement), or (b) the gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the indemnifying Party in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder.

14.1.2 Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless SGI from and against all Liabilities resulting from all Claims that are incurred, relate to or arise out of the development, manufacture or commercialization of Licensed Products by SGI for Licensee or by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, including any failure to test for or provide adequate warnings of adverse side effects, or any manufacturing defect in any Licensed Product; except in each case to the extent such Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct by SGI or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by SGI in this Agreement or from any other action for which SGI must indemnify Licensee under Section 14.1.3.

14.1.3 SGI shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee from and against all Liabilities resulting from all Claims that are incurred, relate to or arise out of any claims of infringement of Third Party rights arising out of the use of SGI Technology to make Antibodies that bind specifically to a Research Antigen or to make a Licensed Product (but not any other technology, including the composition or methods of making or using Antibodies or technology not relating to SGI Technology), except to the extent such Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct by Licensee or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Licensee in this Agreement or any other action for which Licensee must indemnify SGI hereunder.

14.2 Procedure. A Party (the “Indemnitee”) that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 14 shall promptly provide notice to the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) of any

Liability or action in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, which notice shall include a reasonable identification of the alleged facts giving rise to such Liability, and the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnitor so desires, jointly with any other Indemnitor similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other Party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. Any settlement of a Liability for which any Indemnitee seeks to be indemnified, defended or held harmless under this Article 14 that could adversely affect the Indemnitee shall be subject to prior consent of such Indemnitee, provided that such consent shall not be withheld unreasonably

ARTICLE 15 - FORCE MAJEURE

No Party (or any of its Affiliates) shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party (or any of its Affiliates), or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached the Agreement, for failure or delay by such Party in fulfilling or performing any term of the Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party (or any of its Affiliates), including fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, acts of God or acts, earthquakes, or omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (collectively, “Events of Force Majeure”); provided, however, that the affected Party shall exert all reasonable efforts to eliminate, cure or overcome any such Event of Force Majeure and to resume performance of its covenants promptly.

Any permitted assignee shall assume all rights and obligations of its assignor under this Agreement; [***]. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with this Article 16 shall be void and of no effect.

In case such alternative provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid provisions.

ARTICLE 18 - INSURANCE

During the Term and thereafter for the period of time required below, each Party shall maintain an [***]; and commencing not later than [***] and thereafter for the period of time required below, Licensee shall obtain and maintain on an ongoing basis [***] (including [***] coverage on Licensee’s [***] under this Agreement) in the amount of at least [***].
