14.1Indemnification by Legend. Legend shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Novartis and its Affiliates and Sublicensees, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants and agents (collectively, “Novartis Indemnitees”), from and against all Losses arising out of any Claim brought against any of them to the extent arising or resulting from:
(a)the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by Legend under this Agreement;
(b)the negligence or intentional misconduct of any Legend Indemnitees; or
56



(c)(i) [***];
except, (x) in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of any Novartis Indemnitees, or a breach by Novartis of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, or (y) [***].
14.2Indemnification by Novartis. Novartis shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Legend and its Affiliates, any Upstream Licensors and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants and agents (collectively, “Legend Indemnitees”), from and against all Losses arising out of any Claim brought against any of them to the extent arising or resulting from:
(a)the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by Novartis under this Agreement;
(b)[***] intentional misconduct of any Novartis Indemnitees; or
(c)the Exploitation of Licensed Products by or on behalf of Novartis or its Affiliates or Sublicensees or any other Novartis Indemnitee;
except, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of any Legend Indemnitees or a breach by Legend of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement.
14.3Indemnification Procedure.
(a)If either Party is seeking indemnification under Section 14.1 or Section 14.2 (the “Indemnified Party”), it shall [***] inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim giving rise to the obligation to indemnify pursuant to such Section (“Indemnification Claim Notice”) [***] after receiving notice of the Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that its ability to defend or resolve such Claim is adversely affected thereby. The Indemnification Claim Notice shall contain a description of the Claim and the nature and amount of the Claim and any Losses related thereto (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). Upon the request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall furnish [***] to the Indemnifying Party copies of all correspondence, communications and official documents (including court documents) received or sent in respect of any such Losses and Claims.
(b)Subject to the provisions of Sections 14.3(c) and 14.3(d), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] after receipt of the Indemnification Claim Notice to assume the direction and control of the defense and handling of any such Claim, [***], in which case the provisions of Section 14.3(d) below shall govern. The assumption of the defense of a Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as acknowledgement that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any indemnitee in respect of the Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. [***]. If the Indemnifying Party does not give written notice to the Indemnified Party, within [***] after receipt of the Indemnification Claim Notice, of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense and handling of such Claim, the provisions of Section 14.3(d) shall govern.
57



(c)Upon assumption of the defense of a Claim by the Indemnifying Party: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to and shall assume [***] control and responsibility for dealing with the Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party may, [***], appoint as counsel in connection with conducting the defense and handling of such Claim any law firm or counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnifying Party; (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party informed of the status of such Claim; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle the Claim on any terms the Indemnifying Party chooses; provided, however, that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, agree to a settlement of any Claim which [***]. The Indemnified Party shall, [***], cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Claim with its own counsel [***]. In particular, the Indemnified Party shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours by the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Claim, and making the Indemnified Party, the indemnitees and its and their employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any records or information provided.
(d)If the Indemnifying Party does not give written notice to the Indemnified Party as set forth in Section 14.3(b) or fails to conduct the defense and handling of any Claim in good faith after having assumed such, the Indemnified Party may, [***], select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party in connection with conducting the defense and handling of such Claim and defend or handle such Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party [***] apprised of the status of such Claim and shall not settle such Claim [***]. If the Indemnified Party defends or handles such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnified Party’s request [***], and shall be entitled to participate in the defense and handling of such Claim with its own counsel and [***].
14.4Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE FOR [***]. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 14.4 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) [***], (B) [***], OR (C) [***].
14.5Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain [***], with financially stable and reputable insurers, adequate insurance protection that is usual and customary for its respective business operations and such Party reasonably believes is reasonably necessary to cover its actual and potential insurable liabilities under this Agreement.  Any deductible associated with a Party’s third-party insurance policy is [***]. Legend acknowledges that Novartis may fulfill this obligation by [***], where permitted by law. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability, including with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 14.

Each of Legend and Novartis will consult with the other Party, to the extent practicable, in advance of participating in any substantive meeting or discussion with the FTC or DOJ with respect to any such filings, applications, investigation, or other inquiry and, to the extent permitted by the DOJ or FTC, give the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion. Legend and Novartis will each give the other Party the opportunity to review in advance, and will [***] the other Party’s reasonable comments in connection with, the content of any presentations, white papers or other written materials to be submitted to the FTC or DOJ. Notwithstanding any of the preceding, the final determination as to the appropriate course of action shall be made by [***]. For clarity, the Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder apply only in so far as they relate to this Agreement and to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.
