and (l) as of the Effective Date, the Actual Direct Net Cost for units of products which are comparable to Units of the Products and which are being sold by Senetek to its customers is approximately $[***] for units of 2 ounces or less and approximately $[***] for units of 4 ounces or more. 6.3 Obagi represents, warrants and covenants to Senetek that the Packaging License includes all the Intellectual Property rights necessary for Senetek to produce the packaging and labeling required by this Agreement. 6.4 Notwithstanding any representation or warranty made by Senetek in Section 6.2, (a) Obagi understands and agrees that, as of the Effective Date, Senetek has no patents or patent applications pending with regard to (i) the Products in any Secondary Territory or (ii) Product B in any Territory, and (b) Senetek makes no representation or warranty with regard to its Intellectual Property rights in the Secondary Territory or with regard to Product B, including without limitation, any representation and warranty that the sale or the use of Product B in any Territory or any of the Products in the Secondary Territory does not infringe upon the rights of any other person or entity. ARTICLE VII INDEMNIFICATION 7.1 Obagi shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Senetek, its officers, agents, employees, independent contractors, and Affiliates from any claim or action arising out of or related to a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Obagi herein, or the handling, possession, marketing or sale of the Products, in each case, by Obagi or its customers (including the use of the Packaging License), except insofar as such claims are related to or arise from Senetek's negligence or breach of this Agreement and except for Intellectual Property 12 [***] Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and such material has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. infringement, violation or other impairment (other than in respect of the Packaging License) and product liability claims (except to the extent such product liability claims relate to the packaging of the Products or the mishandling of the Products by Obagi or its customers). 7.2 Senetek shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Obagi, its officers, agents, employees, independent contractors, and Affiliates from any claim or action arising out of or related to a breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Senetek herein, or the handling or sale of the Products by Senetek or the manufacturer thereof, or the manufacture or use of the Products, or is based upon a claim that any Product, as such, infringes, violates or otherwise impairs any Intellectual Property rights or any other proprietary right of any third party, except insofar as (i) such claims are related to or arise from Obagi's negligence or breach of this Agreement or (ii) such claims relate to any matter to which Senetek expressly disclaimed any representation and warranty in Section 6.4 of this Agreement. 7.3 In the event of any such claim or action by any third party, the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") agrees: (i) to give the party required to indemnify the Indemnified Party (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") reasonably prompt notice of the claim or action; and (ii) to provide the Indemnifying Party with information, assistance and authority necessary, at the Indemnifying Party expense, to enable the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim or action. After receipt of any such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to (x) take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (y) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense, and (z) compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only after consultation and with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no such consent will be required if such settlement provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full. The Indemnified Party may participate in the investigation, trial and defense of any such third party action and any appeal arising therefrom at its sole cost and expense. 7.4 If any claim involving infringement, violation or impairment of any kind of Intellectual Property for which Senetek is obligated to indemnify Obagi pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement is resolved in a manner that precludes Senetek from granting any right included in the Intellectual Property, Senetek will, at Senetek's expense: (a) procure such license as is necessary for Obagi's past rights and future rights to continue to exercise all rights granted with respect to the Product(s) under this Agreement; (b) replace or modify the allegedly infringing item(s) to avoid the infringement, without materially impairing performance or compliance with the Product's specifications to Obagi's reasonable satisfaction, or 13 (c) if neither the procuring of such a license nor the replacement or modification as above-described are economically practicable, accept return of all the Product(s) purchased. 7.5 Each party's obligations under this Article VII shall survive the expiration of the Term indefinitely. 7.6 Each Indemnified party shall be entitled to offset against royalties or any other obligations owed by such party to the Indemnifying Party the sum of all Indemnifable Damages that such Indemnified party is entitled to pursuant to Article VII hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no Indemnified Party shall offset any amounts due by such party to the other party hereto unless and until such claim for Indemnifable Damages has been finally judicially determined to be a valid claim for indemnification under this Article VII (which judicial determination shall no longer be subject to appeal) or the parties mutually agree that such claim is a valid claim for indemnification. 7.7 Each party shall maintain at its expense commercial general liability insurance in a principal amount of not less than the coverage generally maintained by companies of similar size in its industry. Each party shall also maintain a product liability policy relating to any use of the Products at any time after the date of this Agreement with coverage of not less than [***] Dollars ($[***]) per occurrence and [***] Dollars ($[***]) in the aggregate. Each of the policies required under this Section 7.7 and maintained by any party shall name the other party as an additional insured and require the insurer to provide at least thirty (30) days written notice to such other party before any cancellation or material change to the limits, deductibles or terms of such policies. Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, each party shall furnish to the other party certificates evidencing its insurance, such other party's designation as additional insured, and such notice requirement. Any party may elect to suspend its performance under this Agreement until any insurance required to be maintained by the other party is in place and such certificates of coverage are provided, and may thereafter suspend its performance if it reasonably believes such insurance is not in place until the party required to maintain such coverage provides the other party reasonable assurance that such coverage is in place without any gap in coverage during the Term and will be maintained as required by this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX RECALLS 9.1 In the event any Product(s) must be recalled from the channel of distribution by reason of failure to meet any requirements of law or otherwise, Obagi shall have the sole responsibility to effect the recall. Senetek shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Obagi in implementing any such recalls to the extent such cooperation is necessary to effect the recall. 9.2 In the event the recall results from or is caused by an act or omission by Obagi, Obagi shall reimburse Senetek for any costs and/or expenses reasonably expended by Senetek as a consequence of the recall. Without limiting the general nature of the foregoing, Obagi shall bear the cost of (a) any Product involved in such recall, (b) any other raw materials used to produce recalled Products, and (c) the purchase price payable pursuant to Section 3.2 for any Products that are recalled and for any other finished Products that cannot be shipped due to the condition requiring the recall. 9.3 In the event the recall results from or is caused by an act or omission of Senetek, Senetek shall reimburse Obagi for any costs and/or expenses reasonably expended by Obagi as a consequence of the recall.
