10.1 Indemnification by Bolt. Bolt shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless EirGenix, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation) arising or resulting from any claims made or suits brought by a third party which arise or result from: [***], except in each case with respect to any matter for which EirGenix is obligated to provide indemnification under Section 10.2.

10.2 Indemnification by EirGenix. EirGenix shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bolt, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation) arising or resulting from any claims made or suits brought by a third party which arise or result from: [***], except in each case to with respect to any matter for which Bolt is obligated to provide indemnification under Section 10.1.

10.3 Indemnification Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification, on behalf of itself or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents

- 13 -

(each, an “Indemnitee”), under this Article 10 shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of the applicable claim, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not limit or otherwise reduce the indemnity provided for in this Agreement except to the extent that failure to give notice materially prejudices the rights of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall have the right, upon notice to the Indemnitee within [***] after the receipt of any such notice, to undertake the defense, settlement or compromise of such claim, and the failure of the Indemnitor to give such notice and to undertake the defense of or to settle or compromise such a claim shall constitute a waiver of the Indemnitor’s rights under this Section 10.3 and shall preclude the Indemnitor from disputing the manner in which the Indemnitee may conduct the defense of such claim. Upon such notice from the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense and/or settlement of such claim; provided that the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with counsel of its own choosing in the defense and/or settlement of such claim. The Indemnitor shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnification obligations of the Parties under this Article 10 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitee, and its employees, at the Indemnitor’s request and expense, shall provide full information and reasonable assistance to the Indemnitor and its legal representatives with respect to such claims covered by this indemnification.

10.4 Limitation on Liability.

Each Party shall maintain at its sole cost and expense adequate liability insurance (including product liability insurance) with reputable and financially secure insurance carriers to protect against potential liabilities and risks arising out of activities to be performed under this Agreement and upon such terms (including coverages and deductible limits) as are customary in the pharmaceutical industry for the activities to be conducted by such Party under this Agreement. The coverage limits set forth in any such insurance policy shall not create any limitation on a Party’s liability to the other Party under this Agreement. Each Party shall furnish to the other Party upon request certificates issued by the applicable insurance company(ies) setting forth the amount of such liability insurance.

ARTICLE 11 - CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” means all information and data that is disclosed or provided by or on behalf of a Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) or to any of the Receiving Party’s Affiliates or representatives in connection with this Agreement (including the information of a third party), including such information or data disclosed or provided prior to the Effective Date.

The Receiving Party shall not disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party other than to its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, licensees and professional advisors (collectively, “Recipients”) who have a need to know such information for purposes related to this Agreement, or the development, manufacture or commercialization of the applicable Product, are made aware of the non-disclosure and non-use obligations set forth in this Agreement and are bound by obligations of non-disclosure and non-use consistent with this Agreement.

11.3 Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include any information to the extent the Receiving Party can demonstrate by competent evidence that such information:

- 15 -

required to disclose as advised by the Receiving Party’s legal counsel. Any Confidential Information so disclosed shall maintain its confidentiality protection for all purposes other than such legally compelled disclosure.

11.5 Nondisclosure of Agreement. Each Party agrees not disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except to such Party’s professional advisors, existing and potential investors, licensees, collaborators and acquirers and others on a reasonable need-to-know basis under circumstances that reasonably ensure the confidentiality thereof, and provided that Bolt may inform its customers, suppliers and business contacts that EirGenix supplies the Antibody to Bolt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may make announcements concerning the subject matter of this Agreement to the extent required by Applicable Laws or any securities exchange, Regulatory Authority or tax authority.

11.6 Right to Injunctive Relief. Each Party agrees that breaches of this Article 11 may cause irreparable harm to the other Party and shall entitle such other Party, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to the right to seek injunctive relief enjoining such action.
