Sponsor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend ARENSIA, ARENSIA Parties, and their respective independent contractors and subcontractors that are or have been involved in a relevant Study for any and all third party claims, damages, expenses and other liabilities, including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs, incurred in connection with any claim, action or proceeding (each a “Claim”) to the extent arising from or relating to (a) the use of the Other Sponsor Intellectual Property by Sponsor or its Affiliates; (b) any Sponsor Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct in performing obligations under this Agreement; (c) Sponsor’s breach of this Agreement, or (d) any injury to a Study Subject if such injury is caused by (i) a Study Investigational Medicinal Product dispensed and monitored in strict accordance with the applicable Protocol and Sponsor’s written instructions; or (ii) a non-standard of care procedure performed or administered in accordance with the applicable Protocol and Sponsor’s written instructions; provided however, that Sponsor shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to any Claim to the extent such Claim is related to:

the negligence or intentional misconduct on the part of ARENSIA, the ARENSIA Parties, the Project Manager, the members of ARENSIA’s clinical research personnel or any ARENSIA subcontractor; and/or

Breach by ARENSIA, the ARENSIA Parties, the Project Manager, the members of ARENSIA’s clinical research personnel or any ARENSIA subcontractor, of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any Work Order, any Protocol and/or any Applicable Laws and Regulations.

Any Party liable to provide indemnification under this Agreement shall be entitled, at its option and expense, to control the defense and settlement of any Claim on which it is liable, provided that the indemnifying Party shall act reasonably and in good faith with respect to all matters relating to the settlement or disposition of the claim as the disposition or settlement relates to the Party being indemnified. The Neither Party will be responsible or bound by any settlement of any claim or suit made without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent.

The indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice [***] of any matter upon which such indemnified Party intends to base a claim for indemnification under this Section 12.

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of at least [***] thereafter, each Party shall maintain professional liability insurance coverage and commercial general liability insurance coverage sufficient to cover the Party’s obligations hereunder and consistent with human clinical trial industry standards.

Sponsor agrees that failure of Sponsor to maintain the Minimum Insurance Limit shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

Upon execution of each relevant Work Order, or written request from a Party, each Party shall provide the other with a copy of its effective Certificate of Insurance or such other documented evidence offering that it has adequate coverage consistent with human clinical trial industry standards. If requested by Sponsor to contract with any third party contractors, Sponsor hereby authorizes ARENSIA to provide such contractors with a copy of Sponsor’s Certificate of Insurance.
