a.                                      In consideration of the Services, Client shall pay to RPS: (i) the Service Fees (as defined in Section 2 (b)); and (ii) the Pass Through Expenses (as defined in Section 2(c)).

f.                                        Upon the written request of Client, at the termination of this Agreement or at such earlier time as Client may specify, RPS shall either destroy or return to Client (except as required by regulatory obligations), as Client may request in its sole discretion, all copies of the Confidential Information.

a.                                      All inventions, data, processes and compounds involving the study drug(s) and/or product(s) covered by this Master Agreement and/or the Exhibit(s) that are conceived or reduced to practice as a direct result of the Project(s) (“Inventions”) shall be and remain the sole property of Client. RPS shall fully cooperate with Client in obtaining, at Client’s sole cost and expense, any patent protection as may be available for the Inventions, and shall execute all documents reasonably deemed necessary by Client for purposes of procuring such patent protection.

7.                                      Indemnification

a.                                      Client agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless RPS, its affiliated entities, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, demands, investigations, suits or actions (each, a “Claim”) for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs or expenses (including without limitation court costs, legal fees, awards or settlements) arising out of or in connection with this Master Agreement and/or Exhibit(s); provided, however, that Client’s indemnity obligations under this Section 7 shall not apply to the extent arising directly from the negligence or willful malfeasance of RPS.

b.                                      RPS agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Client, its affiliated entities, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any Claims for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs or expenses (including without limitation court costs, legal fees, awards or settlements) arising directly out of the negligence or willful malfeasance of RPS; provided, however, that RPS’ indemnity obligations under this Section 7 shall not apply to the extent arising directly from the negligence or willful malfeasance of Client.

c.                                       Each person or entity seeking indemnification under this Section 7 shall, as a condition thereto, notify Client within twenty (20) days after the receipt of notice of the Claim; provided, however, that Client shall not be released from its obligations under this Section 7 if the failure to notify Client within twenty (20) days does not materially prejudice the defense of such claim. Client shall have the right to select defense counsel and to direct the defense or, with the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) settlement of, any Claim. In the event that representation of an indemnified party and Client by the same counsel would be a conflict of interest for such counsel, the indemnified party may select its own independent counsel without relieving Client of its obligations under this Section 7. Under no circumstances shall an indemnified party settle or otherwise compromise any Claim without Client’s prior written consent.

8.                                      Limitations

b.                                      Both parties acknowledge that the Services constitute research and development. Accordingly, Client’s sole remedy for any breach or default hereof by RPS shall be termination of this Master Agreement or the applicable Exhibit as herein provided or a return of any Service Fees paid to RPS for Services improperly performed or not performed.

RPS and Client represent that they have full authority and right to enter into this Master Agreement, and that its terms will not conflict with any other agreement to which it is a party.

10.                               Restrictions on Announcements
