[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request. An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

upon the assertion of any such Claim by a Third Party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 11.3.1 (Indemnification Procedures; General) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement, except and only to the extent that, such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). Within [**] after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that if a Party believes that a Claim presented to it for indemnification is one as to which the Party seeking indemnification is not entitled to indemnification under, as applicable, Section 11.1 (Indemnification by Agenus) or Section 11.2 (Indemnification by Licensee), then it will so notify the Party seeking indemnification and shall not be so entitled to assume the defense of such Claim. Nothing in this Section 11.3.1 (Indemnification Procedures; General) shall override [**].

11.3.2Defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party and any other Agenus Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee, as applicable, may participate in such defense at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or any other Agenus Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee, as applicable, have conflicting interests with respect to such Claim under Applicable Law or ethical rules, then the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party or any other Agenus Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee, as applicable, solely in connection therewith.

11.3.3Cooperation. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof and will consider recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause or any other Agenus Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee, as applicable, to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in its defense of any claim for which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense.

11.3.4Settlement. The Indemnified Party will not, and will cause any other Agenus Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee, as applicable, not to, agree to any settlement of such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party will not agree to any settlement of such Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and any other Agenus Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee, as applicable, from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or any other Agenus Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee, as applicable, or adversely affects the Indemnified Party or any other Agenus Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee, as applicable, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

If the Designated Officers cannot reach resolution of the Dispute within [**] after such referral, the Dispute will be referred to the Parties’ designated executive officers or their delegates for attempted resolution. In the event the designated executive officers or their delegates are not able to resolve such Dispute within such [**] period after receipt of written notice, then either Party may submit such Dispute, or the unresolved portion thereof, for resolution by arbitration in accordance with Section 15.3 (Arbitration).

15.3.1General. If the Parties fail to resolve any Dispute through escalation to the Designated Officers or escalation to the designated executive officers under Section 15.1 (Disputes), and a Party desires to pursue resolution of such Dispute, except as set forth in [**], [**] or [**], such Party will provide the other Party with a demand for arbitration, and the Dispute will be submitted by either Party for final resolution by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or the AAA International Arbitration Rules, if recommended under the AAA guidelines), as such rules may be modified by this Section 15.3 (Arbitration) or otherwise by subsequent written agreement of the Parties. Any disputes concerning the propriety of the commencement of the arbitration or the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate will be finally settled by the arbitral tribunal. The arbitration will be conducted by a tribunal of [**] arbitrators, each of which will be independent, conflict-free and having at least [**]. An arbitrator will be deemed to meet this qualification unless a Party objects within [**] after the arbitrator is nominated.

The Parties agree that any award or decision made by the arbitral tribunal will be final and binding upon them and may be enforced in the same manner as a judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Parties undertake to carry out any award without delay. The arbitral tribunal will render its final award or decision within [**] from the date on which the request for arbitration by one of the Parties wishing to have recourse to arbitration is received by the AAA.

Without prejudice to such provisional or interim remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a competent court, the arbitral tribunal will have full authority to grant provisional or interim remedies and to award damages for the failure of any Party to the dispute to respect the arbitral tribunal’s order to that effect.

15.3.5Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15.3 (Arbitration), in the event of a Dispute with respect to (a) [**], (b) [**], or (c) [**], such Dispute will not be submitted to an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 15.3 (Arbitration), unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing or specified in (a), and instead, either Party may initiate litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction in any country in which such rights apply.

In the event of a prolonged condition of Force Majeure that makes it unreasonable to continue to perform other activities then being performed by the Parties and their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties will consult with each other and may appropriately scale back their respective activities in order to avoid waste or inappropriate usage of resources under the circumstances, and neither Party will be liable for any such reasonable scale back, or be considered in breach of its obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations to make payments of money to the other Party), in each case, as a result of such reasonable scale back.
