The decision of the JSC or the Chief Executive Officers, if the referral is made to them, shall be final, provided that such decision shall always be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 11.1 hereof and shall be made with reasonable regard for the interests of the Non-Publishing Party and provided further that no decision shall be made to publish or present information if the publication or presentation would have a material adverse effect on the commercial prospects of any Product Candidate or Product.

Except to the extent due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Janssen or its Affiliates, and subject to Section 12.3.5, Vertex shall indemnify, defend and hold Janssen and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims of damages (except to the extent arising from any claims of intellectual property infringement), bodily injury, death, or property damage made by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) to the extent arising from: (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of Vertex under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement; (ii) the material breach by Vertex of any material warranty, representation or obligation of Vertex under this Agreement; or (iii) any product liability claims related to the Product and arising from Commercialization in North America and the Far East.

If a Party (the “Indemnitee”) intends to claim indemnification under this Section, it shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The failure of the Indemnitee to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action shall relieve the Indemnitor of any obligation to the Indemnitee under this Section with respect to any such action, to the extent that the failure prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend a Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor to control the litigation and/or settlement of such Third Party Claim, and cooperate fully with Indemnitor in all matters related thereto, provided that unless agreed by Indemnitee (i) counsel appointed by Indemnitor to defend Indemnitee shall not take any position which, if sustained, would cause Indemnitee not to be indemnified by Indemnitor and (ii) no settlement will involve any terms binding on Indemnitee except payment of money to be paid by Indemnitor.

Arbitration then pertaining of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (available at http://www.cpradr.org/arb-intro.asp?M=9.3) or its successor (“CPR”), except where those rules conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. This dispute resolution provision will be binding on any corporate parent, subsidiary, affiliate under common control, director or officer of the Parties hereto. All proceedings will be conducted in the English language.

14.5.2The arbitration will be held in Boston, MA.

14.5.3The panel shall consist of [***] arbitrators chosen from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals (or, by agreement, from another provider of arbitrators) each of whom is either a lawyer [***]  In the event the aggregate damages sought by the claimant are stated to be less than [***], and the aggregate damages sought by the counterclaimant are stated to be less than [***] then a [***] shall be chosen, having the same qualifications and experience specified above. Each arbitrator shall be impartial and independent of the Parties and shall abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes then pertaining (available at http://www.adr.org/EthicsAndStandards).

14.5.4The Parties agree to cooperate (1) to attempt to select the arbitrator(s) by agreement within [***] of initiation of the arbitration, including jointly interviewing the final candidates, (2) to meet with the arbitrator(s) within [***] of selection and (3) to agree at that meeting or before upon procedures for discovery and as to the conduct of the hearing which will result in the hearing being concluded within no more than [***] after selection of the arbitrator(s) and in the award being rendered within [***] of the conclusion of the hearings, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within [***] after the conclusion of the hearings.

14.5.5 In the event the Parties cannot agree upon selection of the arbitrator(s), the CPR will select arbitrator(s) as follows:  CPR shall provide the Parties with a list of no less than [***] proposed arbitrators ([***] if a single arbitrator is to be selected) having the credentials referenced above. Within [***] of receiving such list, the Parties shall rank at least [***] of the proposed arbitrators on the initial CPR list, after exercising cause challenges. The Parties may then interview the [***] candidates ([***] if a [***] arbitrator is to be selected) with the highest combined rankings for no more than [***] each and, following the interviews, may exercise [***] each. The panel will consist of the remaining [***] candidates (or [***], if [***] is to be selected) with the highest combined rankings. In the event these procedures fail to result in selection of the required number of arbitrators, CPR shall select the appropriate number of arbitrators from among the members of the various CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals, allowing each side [***] each.

14.5.6In the event the Parties cannot agree upon procedures for discovery and hearing, then the arbitrator(s) shall set dates for a hearing, any post-hearing briefing, and the issuance of the award.

14.5.7The arbitrator(s) are expressly empowered to decide dispositive motions, including but not limited to pre-hearing motions to dismiss and summary judgment motions, and shall endeavor to decide such motions as would a U.S. District Judge of the District where the hearings are to be held.

14.5.8The arbitrator(s) must render their award by application of the substantive law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and are not free to apply “amiable compositeur” or “natural justice and equity.”  The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law with the reasons therefor stated. A transcript of the evidence adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall, upon request, be made available to either Party. The arbitrator(s) shall have power to exclude evidence on grounds of hearsay, prejudice beyond its probative value, redundance, or irrelevance and no award shall be overturned by reason of such ruling on evidence. To the extent possible, the arbitration hearings and award will be maintained confidential.

14.5.9In the event the panel’s award exceeds [***] in monetary damages or includes or consists of equitable relief, or rejects a claim in excess of that amount or for that relief, then the losing Party may obtain review of the arbitrators’ award or decision pursuant to the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure then pertaining by a single appellate arbitrator (the “Appeal Arbitrator”) selected from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals by agreement or, failing agreement within [***] working days, pursuant to the selection procedures specified in Section 14.5.5. If CPR cannot provide such services, the Parties will together select another provider of arbitration services that can do so. No Appeal Arbitrator shall be selected unless he or she can commit to rendering a decision within [***] following oral argument; any such review must be initiated within [***] following the rendering of the award referenced in Section 14.5.8.

14.5.10 The Appeal Arbitrator will make the same review of the arbitration panel’s ruling and its bases that the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Circuit where the arbitration hearings are held would make of findings of fact and conclusions of law rendered by a district court after a bench trial and then reverse, modify, vacate or affirm the arbitration panel’s award or decision accordingly, or remand to the panel for further proceedings. The Appeal Arbitrator will consider only the arbitration panel’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, pertinent portions of the hearing transcript and evidentiary record as submitted by the Parties, opening and reply briefs of the Party pursuing the review, and the answering brief of the opposing Party, plus a total of no more than [***] or oral argument evenly divided between the Parties. The Party seeking review must submit its opening brief and any reply brief within [***] respectively, following the date of the

award under review, whereas the opposing Party must submit its responsive brief within [***] of that date. Oral argument shall take place within [***] after the date of the award under review, and the Appeal Arbitrator shall render a decision within [***] following oral argument. That decision will be final and not subject to further review, except pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.

14.5.11 The Parties irrevocably consent to and submit their person to the jurisdiction of the U. S. District Court for the District in which the arbitration is held for the enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered hereunder (including after review by the Appeal Arbitrator where such an appeal is pursued). Should such court for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with jurisdiction shall act in the same fashion.

14.5.12Each Party has the right before, or if the arbitrator(s) cannot hear the matter within an acceptable period, during the arbitration to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, repelevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration.

14.5.13 EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY.

14.5.14 EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR MULTIPLIED DAMAGES FROM THE OTHER.

14.5.15 EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FROM THE OTHER.

14.5.16 EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS AND PREJUDGMENT INTEREST FROM THE OTHER, EXCEPT THAT THE COST OF THE ARBITRATORS AND ANY FEES AND EXPENSES PAYABLE TO CPR SHALL BE BORNE BY THE PARTY AGAINST WHOM THE MATTER AT ISSUE IS ULTIMATELY RESOLVED.
