Coherus shall solely control the defense of such a claim and shall also have the right to control settlement of such claim; provided, however, that any such settlement shall not adversely affect Licensee’s rights or interests without Licensee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

Without limiting the foregoing, the defending Party shall keep the other Party advised of all material communications and actual and prospective filings or submissions regarding such action, and shall provide the other Party copies of and an opportunity to review and comment on any such communications, filings and submissions before delivered or filed. Each Party shall keep the other reasonably informed of all claims and actions governed by this Section 8.6.

(d) In the event the Parties mutually agree that a settlement of any suit involving payment of prospective royalties is reasonable and necessary for continued Commercialization of Product in the Territory, the Parties shall consult in good faith and discuss a mutually satisfactory basis for sharing responsibility for such prospective royalties. In the absence of such agreement, the Parties shall share responsibility for such royalties as described in Exhibit 7.1 (Payment Structure).

(e) In the event Licensee is required to pay damages and/or lost profits pursuant to paragraph (a) above, Licensee shall be entitled to deduct from Coherus Royalty payments up to [***] of the amount of such damages and/or lost profits; provided, however, the amount of such deduction applied by Licensee when added to any Third Party Payments in any given Calendar Quarter shall not reduce the Coherus Royalty payment by more than [***] in such Calendar Quarter.

(b) Coherus shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute an infringement suit or take other appropriate action against such Third Party in the Territory.

Upon receipt of such notice or absent such notice within such sixty (60) days, Licensee shall have the right at its sole discretion to institute an Enforcement Action in the name of either or both Parties. Each Party shall execute all necessary and proper documents, take such actions as shall be appropriate to allow the other Party to institute and prosecute such infringement actions and shall otherwise cooperate in the institution and prosecution of such actions (including consenting to being named as a nominal party thereto).

10.2 Licensee’s Right to Indemnification. Coherus shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and representatives (the “Licensee Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Damages resulting from Third Party claims or actions, to the extent arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly: (a) the negligence, recklessness, or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of Coherus and its Affiliates and its or their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents, in connection with Coherus’ performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement; (b) any breach by Coherus of any obligation, representation, warranty, or covenant set forth in this Agreement; (c) the development (including Development), commercialization, transfer, importation or exportation, Manufacture, labeling, handling or storage, or use of, or exposure to, the Product by Coherus or any of its Affiliates, Sublicensees, agents, and contractors outside of the Territory; (d) [***] by Coherus or any of its Affiliates, sublicensees, agents, and contractors inside or outside of the Territory, and (e) the failure to comply with Applicable Laws by Coherus, or any of its Affiliates, agents, or subcontractors; except in any such case for Damages to the extent reasonably attributable to any Licensee Indemnitee (i) having committed an act or acts of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct; (ii) having failed to materially comply with Applicable Laws; (iii) having materially breached this Agreement; or (iv) to the extent such Damages result from or arise out of any act or omission for which Licensee is found to have an indemnity obligation under Section 10.1 (Coherus’ Right to Indemnification).

A claim to which indemnification applies under Section 10.1 (Coherus’ Right to Indemnification) or Section 10.2 (Licensee’s Right to Indemnification) shall be referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim”. If a party intends to claim indemnification under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, such Party (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any claim that may be an Indemnification Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice).

If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the Indemnification Claim as described in this Section 10.3 above, the Indemnitee may defend the Indemnification Claim but shall have no obligation to do so. The Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim in any manner that may have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s interests, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor at the Indemnitor’s expense and shall make available to the Indemnitor all pertinent information under the control of the Indemnitee, which information shall be subject to Article 11 (CONFIDENTIALITY).

Such insurance shall be in such amounts and subject to such deductibles as are prevailing in the biosimilar industry from time to time, provided that, each Party shall maintain a minimum of an aggregate of [***] and [***] in general comprehensive liability insurance and an aggregate of: (a) [***] in product liability insurance until receipt of the first Regulatory Approval in a country in the Territory; and (b) [***] in product liability insurance (or such other amount as is mutually agreed upon by the Parties) no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the first Regulatory Approval in a country in the Territory.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of each Party.

11.2 Degree of Care; Permitted Use.

Neither Party shall use or permit the use of any Confidential Information of the other Party except for the purposes of carrying out its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, and neither Party shall copy any Confidential Information of the other Party except as may be reasonably useful or necessary for such purposes.

[***] shall review such proposed publication or presentation in order to avoid the unauthorized disclosure of its Confidential Information and to preserve the patentability of Inventions and shall, as soon as reasonably possible, inform such Party if its proposed publication or presentation:

(i) contains Confidential Information of the other Party, in which case such Party shall delete such Confidential Information from its proposed publication or presentation; or

(ii) could be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Patent or Information of the other Party, then such Party shall delay such proposed publication or presentation sufficiently long to permit the timely preparation and first filing of Patent Application(s) on the Information involved.

(b) This Section 11.4 shall not apply to any disclosures pursuant to Section 11.3 (Authorized Disclosure).

- 56 -

14.1 Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism. In the event that the Parties cannot reach agreement on a matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any other agreement entered into pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including matters relating to any Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder and/or regarding the construction, interpretation, and enforceability of such agreements), the procedures set forth in this Article 14 shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any dispute, controversy, or claim in connection with this Agreement, the construction hereof, or the rights, duties or liabilities of either Party under this Agreement (collectively, “Disputes”) between the Parties or the JSC that may arise from time to time that cannot be resolved through good faith negotiation between the Parties, except as set forth in Section 14.4 (Preliminary Injunctions) and/or Section 14.5 (Patent Disputes) or unless otherwise set forth herein.

14.2 Resolution by Executive Officers. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event of any Dispute, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within ten (10) Business Days after one Party provides notice to the other Party of such Dispute, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, refer such Dispute to the Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation within thirty (30) days after such notice is received. In the event that any Dispute is not resolved under the foregoing provisions, each Party may, at its sole discretion, seek resolution of such Dispute in accordance with Article 3 (GOVERNANCE) or Section 14.3 (Arbitration), as applicable.

14.3 Mediation; Arbitration.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 14.4 (Preliminary Injunctions) and/or Section 14.5 (Patent Disputes), or unless otherwise set forth herein, any Dispute that is not resolved pursuant to Section 14.2 (Resolution by Executive Officers) shall be submitted to the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (“CPR”) for mediation, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to CPR for exclusive, final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.3.

(b) Any such mediation or arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, United States of America, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing. Each and any arbitration shall be administered by CPR pursuant to its Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”), as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or modified by this Section 14.3 or by agreement of the Parties. At any applicable hearing, the Parties may present testimony (either by live witness or deposition) and documentary evidence and have the right to be represented by counsel. The U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence will apply to any and all matters submitted to final and binding arbitration under this Agreement.

- 65 -

(c) Within ten (10) days after receipt of an arbitration notice from a Party, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on a single neutral arbitrator with relevant industry experience to conduct such arbitration. If the Parties do not agree on a single neutral arbitrator within ten (10) days after receipt of an arbitration notice, each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator and the two (2) Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator with relevant industry experience to constitute a panel of three (3) arbitrators to conduct the arbitration in accordance with the Rules.

Each and every arbitrator of the arbitration panel conducting the arbitration must and shall agree to render an opinion within thirty (30) days after the final hearing before the panel.

The arbitrator(s) shall, upon the request of any Party, issue a written opinion of the findings of fact and conclusions of law and shall deliver a copy to each of the Parties. Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorney’s fees, and the Parties shall equally bear the fees, costs, and expenses of the arbitrator(s) and the arbitration proceedings; provided, however, that the arbitrator(s) may exercise discretion to award costs, including attorney’s fees, to the prevailing Party. Without limiting any other remedies that may be available under Applicable Laws, the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award provisional remedies of any nature whatsoever, or special, indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, or any other similar form of damages (including damages resulting from loss of use, loss of profits, interruption or loss of business, or other economic loss).

14.4 Preliminary Injunctions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction as provided in Section 15.12 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction) in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a provisional basis, pending the decision of the arbitrator(s) on the ultimate merits of any Dispute.

14.5 Patent Disputes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any and all issues regarding the scope, construction, validity, and enforceability of any Patent or Patent Application in a country within the Territory shall be determined in a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction under the applicable patent laws of such country, as provided in Section 15.12 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction).

- 67 -

15.6 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for failure or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement for the time and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by epidemic, earthquake, riot, civil commotion, rebellion, insurrection, invasion, fire, acts of God, war, terrorist acts, strike, storm, flood, or governmental acts or restriction, or other cause that is beyond the reasonable control of the respective Party. The Party affected by such force majeure shall provide the other Party with all information relating thereto (including its best estimate of the likely extent and duration of the interference with its activities) as soon as reasonably and practically possible after its occurrence, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to overcome the difficulties created thereby and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable. In such event, the Parties shall meet promptly to determine an equitable solution to the effects of any such event, including the possibility of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.5 (Termination for Material Breach). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 15.6 shall excuse or suspend the obligation to make any payment due hereunder in the manner and at the time provided.

15.9 Waiver. The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

15.10 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery.

Any Disputes not subject to Section 14.3 (Mediation; Arbitration) shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York, U.S.A., and the Parties irrevocably accept the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts solely and specifically for the purpose of adjudicating such Disputes, and in no event shall any Party be deemed to have consented to such jurisdiction for any other purpose. Each Party further agrees that such courts provide a convenient forum for any such action, and waives any objections or challenges to venue with respect to such courts.
