10.1    Inventions.
10.1.1    Regeneron will retain sole ownership of all Regeneron Inventions and MTPC shall retain sole ownership of all MTPC Inventions. Each Party shall retain joint ownership of any Joint Inventions. During the Term, each Party shall have full rights to exploit and license such Joint Inventions (and any patent rights or other intellectual property rights therein or thereto), without the consent of the other Party or any obligation or requirement of an accounting to the other Party, (a) in the case of MTPC, solely in the Territory (subject to Regeneron’s reservation

of rights under Section 2.10), and (b) in the case of Regeneron, solely outside the Territory. During the Term, neither Party shall exploit and/or license any such Joint Inventions (and any patent rights or other intellectual property rights therein or thereto), without the consent of the other Party, (x) in the case of MTPC, outside the Territory, and (y) in the case of Regeneron, in the Territory. Following the Term, each Party shall have full rights to exploit and license any Joint Invention (and any patent rights or other intellectual property rights therein or thereto) anywhere in the world, without the consent of the other Party or any obligation or requirement of an accounting to the other Party, and each Party hereby grants to the other Party any consents necessary to exploit and license any Joint Invention in accordance with this sentence, without prejudice to the need for such consents to be separately and expressly granted under this Section 10.1.1 or Section 10.1.3. The Parties shall mutually determine, on a case-by-case basis, which Party shall have primary responsibility for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any patents or patent applications claiming or covering Joint Inventions. MTPC shall bear all external fees and costs incurred with respect to preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents or patent applications for Joint Inventions in the Territory and Regeneron shall bear all fees and costs incurred with respect to preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents or patent applications for Joint Inventions outside of the Territory. The Party who is responsible for filing any such patent applications for the Joint Inventions will be termed the “Lead Party”. The Lead Party shall confer with and keep the non-Lead Party reasonably informed regarding the status of such activities, including by providing the non-Lead Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on in advance any material filings and correspondence with applicable patent offices. The Lead Party and non-Lead Party shall agree in advance on a general patent prosecution strategy for Joint Inventions addressing, among other things, the scope of claims to be pursued and the countries in which patents covering Joint Inventions will be filed and prosecuted. If the Parties do not agree in advance on such strategy or on the content of any such filings, the Lead Party shall have the right to make the decision using its reasonable judgment as necessary to obtain appropriately broad coverage for the applicable Joint Invention; provided that Lead Party shall reflect any reasonable comments offered by non-Lead Party in any final filings submitted to Governmental Authority to the extent such comments are intended to prevent any detrimental effect on the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of patents owned or Controlled by such non-Lead Party for the Product, unless the Lead Party reasonably determines such comments to be detrimental to the prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of any patents owned or Controlled by Lead Party for the Product. In the event that the Lead Party desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application claiming or covering any Joint Invention, such Party shall provide prompt notice to the non-Lead Party of such intention. In such case, no later than thirty (30) days after such notice from the Lead Party intending to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance, upon the non-Lead Party’s written election, such non-Lead Party shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such patent or patent application at its’ own expense.
10.1.2    Each Party will cause all Persons who perform clinical development activities or regulatory activities for such Party or its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors or MTPC Distributors under this Agreement to be under an obligation to assign their rights in any inventions resulting therefrom to such Party, except where Applicable Law requires otherwise and except in the case of governmental, not-for-profit and public institutions which have standard

policies against such an assignment (in which case a suitable license, or right to obtain such a license, shall be obtained).
10.1.3    Each Party will promptly disclose to the other Party, in writing, and will cause its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors, MTPC Distributors, agents, and independent contractors to so disclose to the other Party, any Regeneron Invention relating to Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Territory, Joint Inventions or MTPC Inventions conceived, made or generated by such Party which are, in such Party’s reasonable judgment, potentially patentable. MTPC will have the option but not the obligation to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain MTPC Inventions on a worldwide basis, at MTPC’s sole cost and expense. MTPC will consider in good faith any requests and suggestions of Regeneron with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting MTPC Inventions outside of the Territory and will keep Regeneron informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of MTPC Inventions. For clarity, all MTPC Inventions preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance in the Territory shall be in MTPC’s sole discretion. MTPC hereby grants to Regeneron, a non-exclusive, fully paid, irrevocable, fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license, under the MTPC Inventions and Joint Inventions (and any patents or other intellectual property rights therein or thereto), to research, develop, use, make, have made, import, offer for sale, sell and otherwise commercialize Products outside the Territory during the Term. Following the Term, the license in the previous sentence shall automatically become perpetual and worldwide, except in the cases of termination pursuant to Section 15.5 by MTPC upon Regeneron’s material breach, or by Regeneron under Section 15.6. If MTPC wants to exploit or license any Joint Invention or MTPC Invention outside the Territory, MTPC shall obtain Regeneron’s prior written consent. In the event that MTPC desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application claiming or covering any MTPC Invention outside Territory, MTPC shall provide prompt notice to the Regeneron of such intention. In such case, no later than thirty (30) days after such notice from MTPC intending to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance, upon Regeneron’s written election, Regeneron shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such patent or patent application at its’ own expense. In such case, Regeneron shall keep MTPC reasonably informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent for such MTPC Invention, including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such patent for such MTPC Invention. Regeneron will provide MTPC with copies of, and an opportunity to review and provide comment on, any material filings and correspondence with applicable patent offices. The Parties will discuss in good faith the incorporation of MTPC’s proposed comments to avoid any inconsistency with MTPC’s global patent strategy. If Regeneron does not provide such election within thirty (30) days after such notice from MTPC, MTPC may, at its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such patent for the MTPC Invention or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such patent for the MTPC Invention.
10.2    Patent Prosecution and Maintenance. Regeneron will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain (a) the Patents and (b) any patent or patent application claiming or covering a Regeneron Invention directed to the use or planned use of the Product in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement, in each case, at Regeneron’s sole cost and expense. Regeneron will consider in good faith any requests and suggestions of MTPC with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting the Patents in the Territory and will keep MTPC

informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patents. In the event that Regeneron desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Patents in the Territory, Regeneron shall provide prompt notice to MTPC of such intention. In such case, no later than thirty (30) days after such notice from Regeneron, upon MTPC’s written election, MTPC shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such Patent at MTPC’s expense; provided however that MTPC shall have no right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such Patent unless abandonment of such Patent causes substantial loss of patent rights for the Product in the Territory. In such case, MTPC shall keep Regeneron reasonably informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent, including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such Patent. MTPC will provide Regeneron with copies of, and an opportunity to review and provide comment on, any material filings and correspondence with applicable patent offices. The Parties will discuss in good faith the incorporation of Regeneron’s proposed comments to avoid any inconsistency with Regeneron’s global Patent strategy. If MTPC does not provide such election within thirty (30) days after such notice from Regeneron, Regeneron may, at its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such Patent or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such Patent.
10.3    Enforcement of Patents against Infringement in the Territory.
10.3.1    Initiation. MTPC and Regeneron will each promptly notify the other in writing of any alleged or threatened infringement of the Patents by a Third Party, or any alleged or threatened assertion of invalidity of any of the Patents by a Third Party wherein such infringement is based upon the development, commercialization or an application to market any Anti-NGF Antibody Product by a Third Party in the Field in the Territory and of which such Party becomes aware. The notifying Party shall provide all relevant evidence of such infringement of which they are aware. Regeneron will have the first right, but not the obligation, to prosecute any such infringement at its own expense. MTPC shall have the right to join as a party to such suit, if permitted by Applicable Law, to recover its damages and participate with its own counsel; provided that Regeneron shall retain control of the prosecution of such suit. If Regeneron (i) does not commence an infringement action against such alleged or threatened infringement prior to the first to occur of (a) the expiration of the [***] following the first notice provided above with respect to such alleged infringement, or (b) if such [***] period would exceed the time limit set forth in appropriate laws and regulations for filing of such actions, the beginning of the [***] period before such time limit; or (ii) notifies MTPC in writing that it has no intention of commencing an infringement action against such alleged or threatened infringement, whichever comes first, then [***].
10.3.2    Cooperation.
(a)    In the event Regeneron brings an infringement action in the Territory of [***] pursuant to this Section 10.3, MTPC will cooperate fully, including, the furnishing of a power of attorney solely for such purpose or to join or be named as a party to such action if permitted by Applicable Laws. Regeneron shall have the sole and exclusive right to, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, initiate, defend and/or settle and to take other actions that Regeneron, in its sole discretion, deems to be proper, justified or necessary in any such infringement

action, including any proceeding involving the infringement, suspected infringement or validity of the Patents; provided, however, that Regeneron shall not have the right to settle such patent infringement litigation in a manner that imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by, MTPC without the express written consent of MTPC, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Regeneron will provide MTPC with copies of all pleadings and other documents filed with the court and will consider reasonable input from MTPC during the course of the proceedings.
(b)    [***].
10.3.3    Recovery. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a cost sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of such litigation described in Section 10.3.1 (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) will be (a) first, allocated to reimbursement of unreimbursed legal fees and expenses incurred by the Party paying for the proceeding, then toward reimbursement of any of unreimbursed legal fees and expenses (if any) of the other Party reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, and (b) second, the remainder will be divided between the Parties as follows: [***].
10.4    Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions. If a Third Party asserts, as a defense or as a counterclaim in any action or proceeding with respect to an infringement action under Section 10.3, that any Patent is invalid or unenforceable, then Regeneron, through the counsel engaged by Regeneron pursuant to Section 10.3, shall respond to such defense or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable); provided, that the Parties shall fully discuss and seek to agree on the strategy of such response, considering and accommodating MTPC’s and Regeneron’s global intellectual property litigation positions in all such decisions that may impact such global positions. The Parties’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of conducting any such action or proceeding shall be entirely borne by the Party that is paying for such infringement action under Section 10.3.
10.5    Administrative Patent Proceedings. Each Party will notify the other within ten (10) days of receipt by such Party of information concerning the request for, or filing or declaration of, any reissue, post-grant review, inter partes review, derivation proceeding, supplemental examination, interference, opposition, reexamination or other administrative proceeding relating to Patents in the Territory. The Party controlling the prosecution of the respective Patents shall control the course of action with respect to any such proceeding, but the Parties will reasonably consult with one another in an effort to agree with respect to decisions on whether to initiate or how to respond to such a proceeding, as applicable, and the course of action in such proceeding, including settlement negotiations and terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any proceeding under this Section 10.5 involves Patents involved in an infringement action under Section 10.3, any decisions on whether to initiate or how to respond to such a proceeding, as applicable, and the course of action in such proceeding shall be made by the Party controlling such Third Party infringement action in consultation with the other Party. All costs incurred in connection with any proceeding under this Section 10.5 relating to the Patents shall be borne solely by the Party that is controlling such activities.

10.6    Joint Inventions. If a Third Party asserts, as a defense or counterclaim in any action or proceeding with respect to patent rights in a Joint Invention, that any such patent right is invalid or unenforceable, then Regeneron shall respond to such defense or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable) if the proceeding is with respect to patent rights outside the Territory, and MTPC shall do so if the proceeding is with respect to patent rights inside the Territory. If either party wishes to initiate an infringement or other action with respect to patent rights in a Joint Invention, the Parties will review and confer as to the appropriate strategy before commencing such action.
10.7    Third Party Infringement Claims. In the event that a Third Party makes any claim, gives notice, or brings any suit or other inter partes proceeding against MTPC, its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors or MTPC Distributors, that the Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Territory infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property rights of such Third Party ("Third Party Infringement Claim"), in each case, Regeneron will cooperate with MTPC as to potential strategies to defend against any Third Party Infringement Claim, consistent with the overall goals of this Agreement, including by being joined as a party and/or asserting any Know-How or Patents against such Third Party. Regeneron shall reasonably cooperate with MTPC in connection with any such defense. In such event, MTPC shall not enter into settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of such claim without consent of Regeneron, if such settlement imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by Regeneron, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event that a Third Party makes any claim, gives notice, or brings any suit or other inter partes proceeding in the Territory against Regeneron or its Affiliates, that the Manufacture of the Product inside or outside the Territory infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property rights of such Third Party in the Territory, Regeneron will defend against such claim, consistent with the overall goals of this Agreement. In such event, Regeneron shall not enter into settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of such claim without consent of MTPC, if such settlement imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by MTPC, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
10.8    Trademarks.
10.8.1    Global Brand and Trademarks. The goal of the Parties is to obtain and maintain consistent global branding and Trademarks for the Product. Through the JSC, Regeneron shall consider recommendations provided by MTPC to Regeneron regarding the selection of the names, marks and logos to be used for Products outside the Territory for purposes of selecting such names, marks and logos that can also be used within the Territory as part of a global brand, but Regeneron is under no obligation to adopt or use any such recommendations. Regeneron shall be free to select any Trademarks that it Controls for use in the Field with the Product outside of the Territory in its sole discretion.
10.8.2    Potential Trademark License. In the event that the Regeneron decides to offer MTPC the right to use, in the Territory and the Field with respect to the Commercialization of the Product, any Trademark Controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates, Regeneron will offer a license to such Trademark in a Notice under this Agreement naming the relevant Trademark. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Regeneron to offer or grant such a Trademark license.

10.8.3    Trademark License. Following such Notice from Regeneron, and effective immediately upon MTPC’s provision of Notice that it accepts such license from Regeneron naming the relevant Trademark, Regeneron hereby grants to MTPC an exclusive, royalty-free license to use such Trademark solely in connection with MTPC’s Development and Commercialization of Product in the Field in the Territory in compliance with this Agreement (the “Trademark License”) and quality standards required by Regeneron. Such Trademark Controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates shall be considered, solely with respect to the Territory, a “Regeneron Product Trademark.” Any and all goodwill derived from the use of such Trademark Controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates shall inure solely to the benefit of Regeneron or its Affiliates. Unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Parties, Regeneron (or its Affiliate, as appropriate) shall own and retain all right, title and interest, and all goodwill, in and to such Trademark Controlled by Regeneron (or such Affiliate). Upon request by either Party, the other Party shall (or shall cause its Affiliates, as appropriate, to) execute such documents as may reasonably be required for the purpose of recording with any Governmental Authority the Trademark License.
10.8.4    MTPC Selected Trademark. If MTPC does not accept the foregoing offer of a license to a Trademark Controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates from Regeneron, or if Regeneron does not make such a license offer, including if MTPC reasonably determines that it is not appropriate, due to local considerations in the Territory, to use such Trademark in connection with MTPC’s Development and Commercialization of Product in compliance with this Agreement, then MTPC will select, considering the global positioning for the Product, other Trademark(s) for sale of the Product in such country in the Territory, subject to Regeneron’s prior approval at its reasonable discretion, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If approved, each such Trademark selected by MTPC shall be an “MTPC Product Trademark.”
10.8.5    Trademark Usage. MTPC agrees that its and its Affiliates’, MTPC Contractors and MTPC Distributors’ use of any Product Trademarks and Regeneron Trademarks shall comply with this Agreement, all Applicable Law and Regeneron’s Trademark policies. MTPC will refrain from any use of Product Trademarks and Regeneron Trademarks in a manner that threatens to damage the goodwill associated with the respective Trademarks or which threatens to tarnish the reputation or otherwise reflect unfavorably upon the owner of the Trademarks. MTPC shall not during or after the term of the Agreement, anywhere in the world, take any action that in Regeneron’s sole and absolute discretion impairs or contests or is likely to impair or contest the validity of the Regeneron’s right, title and interest in and to any Product Trademarks or Regeneron Trademarks including, but not limited to, using, or filing an application to register, any word, mark, symbol or device, or any combination thereof, that is confusingly similar to or dilutes the distinctiveness of any of Product Trademarks or Regeneron Trademarks. If MTPC takes any such action, then Regeneron has the right to terminate the Trademark License immediately upon notice to MTPC.
10.8.6    Ownership, Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance for Product Trademarks. MTPC will coordinate and collaborate with Regeneron to secure all rights to Regeneron or MTPC (taking into account Applicable Law, the requirements of applicable Regulatory Authorities, and the interests of the then-current owner of the Product Trademark as between the Parties), in the Product Trademarks for use in connection with the Commercialization

of Products in the Territory for use in the Field. The Party that owns Product Trademarks will be responsible for (and shall control) the filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense of all registrations of the Product Trademarks in the Territory, and will be responsible for the payment of any costs incurred by such Party relating to filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Product Trademarks in the Territory; provided, however, that the non-owning Party may elect at its expense to participate in the defense or enforcement of the Product Trademarks in the Territory (and shall have the right to lead such defense or enforcement in the event the owning Party fails to do so). In any event, each Party will provide to the other Party prompt written Notice of any actual or threatened infringement of Product Trademarks in the Territory.
10.8.7    Product Labeling and Patent Rights Marking. Subject to Applicable Law, MTPC will identify Regeneron as the manufacturer of the Product (including on package inserts, packaging and trade packaging for, and samples of, Product), using the Regeneron Trademarks designated by Regeneron for such use, in a manner approved in advance in writing by both Parties and in accordance with (and subject to) the Trademark License. To the extent reasonable and customary in the industry for such Products, MTPC will mark all Products sold by MTPC with appropriate Product Trademarks and patent numbers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law in the country within the Territory where such Product is sold. Any and all goodwill derived from the use of the Regeneron Trademarks shall inure solely to the benefit of Regeneron. MTPC may, in its sole discretion, include any MTPC Trademarks on the Product, and on the labels, packaging, promotional materials and other materials therefor. Any and all goodwill derived from the use of the MTPC Trademarks shall inure solely to the benefit of MTPC.
10.8.8    Quality Control. All use by MTPC, its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors and MTPC Distributors of the Product Trademarks and Regeneron Trademarks shall be in accordance with (a) rules established by the JCC and (b) quality standards established by the JCC which are reasonably necessary in order to preserve the validity and enforceability of the Product Trademarks and Regeneron Trademarks. During the Term, MTPC shall submit samples of promotional materials, Product-related materials, package inserts, packaging, trade packaging, and the like to Regeneron for its prior approval, including approval of the usage of any Product Trademarks or Regeneron Trademarks, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at least thirty (30) days before dissemination of such materials. Failure of Regeneron to object within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute approval of such MTPC materials. If Regeneron objects within such thirty (30) day period, then the Parties shall discuss changes to such MTPC materials in good faith and shall resolve any dispute regarding such changes through the dispute resolution procedures applicable to a Legal Dispute in Article XVI.

ARTICLE XIV
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
14.1    Indemnity By MTPC. MTPC hereby agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify Regeneron and its Affiliates, licensees and development partners, and its and their agents, directors, officers and employees (the “Regeneron Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Third Party suits, claims, actions and proceedings and associated expenses (including court costs, legal expenses and attorneys’ fees) and damages and recoveries awarded with respect thereto (collectively “Losses”) incurred by a Regeneron Indemnitee in connection with any and all Third Party claims arising or resulting from: (a) any breach (or alleged breach) of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by MTPC or obligations of MTPC under this Agreement, or (b) the Development or Commercialization of any Product in the Field in the Territory by or on behalf of MTPC or its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors or MTPC Distributors, or the use of any Regeneron Trademarks in connection therewith, except, in the case of either (a) or (b), to the extent such Losses arise from negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Regeneron Indemnitee.
14.2    Indemnity by Regeneron. Regeneron hereby agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify MTPC and its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors and MTPC Distributors and its and their agents, directors, officers and employees (the “MTPC Indemnitees”) from and against any and all

60
 

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.



Losses incurred by a MTPC Indemnitee in connection with any and all Third Party claims arising or resulting from (a) any breach (or alleged breach) of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by or obligations of Regeneron under this Agreement, (b) the development or commercialization of the Product by or on behalf of Regeneron or its Affiliates or licensees outside the Territory, (c) any product liability caused by a defect in Manufacture caused by Regeneron (but not any Third Party Fill/Finish Provider) or (d) any product liability caused by a defect in Manufacture caused by a Third Party Fill/Finish Provider, except, in the case of (a) to (d), to the extent such Losses arise from negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of a MTPC Indemnitee; provided that, Regeneron’s indemnity obligation under clause (d) shall be limited to [***].
14.3    Procedure for Indemnification. If a Regeneron Indemnitee or a MTPC Indemnitee (as the case may be, an “Indemnitee”) wishes to seek indemnification hereunder, such Indemnitee will provide Notice to the Party obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third Party claim giving rise to the obligation to indemnify as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of such Third Party claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume and control the defense of any such Third Party claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement. The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (and its insurer) as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee will have the right to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differences in the interests of such Indemnitee and any other Party represented by such counsel. In all other cases, the Indemnitee will have the right to participate in such defense, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s control, using its own counsel at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party will have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnitee in connection with any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent; provided, that the Indemnifying Party does not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay any such written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall seek the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party for any settlement of a Third Party claim subject to indemnification hereunder (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement would materially diminish or materially adversely affect the scope, exclusivity or duration of the Patents or Know-How, would require any payment by such Indemnified Party, would require an admission of legal wrongdoing in any way on the part of an Indemnified Party, or would effect an amendment of this Agreement (otherwise, no such consent shall be required). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the claim in any manner the Indemnitee may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnitee as provided in this ARTICLE XIV.
14.4    Insurance. During the Term and for a minimum period of five (5) years thereafter and for an otherwise longer period as may be required by Applicable Law, each of Regeneron and MTPC will (i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure and maintain appropriate commercial general liability and product liability insurance in an amount not less than [***] United

States Dollars ($[***]) per occurrence and in the annual aggregate or (ii) procure and maintain adequate insurance by means of self-insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are consistent with normal business practices of large pharmaceutical companies in the life sciences industry. Such insurance shall insure against liability arising from this Agreement on the part of Regeneron or MTPC, respectively, or any of their respective Affiliates, due to injury, disability or death of any person or persons, or property damage arising from activities performed in connection with this Agreement. Any insurance proceeds received by a Party in connection with any Losses shall be retained by such Party and shall not reduce any obligation of the other Party.

With respect to efforts to terminate this Agreement for non-payment or breach under Sections 15.2 or 15.5, if the alleged breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence of a breach specified in a Notice provided by the other Party and/or the right to terminate this Agreement, then the non-breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement hereunder unless and until such Dispute is resolved in accordance with ARTICLE XVI, and it has been determined that the alleged breaching Party has materially breached this Agreement and such Party fails to cure such breach within ninety (90) days following such decision (except to the extent such breach involves the failure to make a payment when due, which breach must be cured within fifteen (15) days following such determination), and it is understood and agreed that during the pendency of such Dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder; provided, however, under no circumstance shall either Party be required to continue to conduct any activities under this Agreement if in the reasonable judgment of such Party, doing so would constitute a violation of Applicable Law or would raise material safety concerns.
