Aptamera shall have no rights with respect to any infringement or misappropriation of Licensed IP Rights that occurs outside of the Field except the right to receive notice pursuant to this Section 11.3.1; provided however, that, to the extent within the control of Archemix, Archemix shall not enter into any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition with respect to any such infringement or misappropriation if it would have a material adverse effect on any Licensed IP Rights within the Field without the prior consent of Aptamera, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

11.3.2		Enforcement of Licensed Patent Rights. With respect to any infringement of Licensed Patent Rights within the Field or with respect to any Products within the Field, Aptamera shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to initiate, prosecute and control any action with respect to such infringement, by counsel of its own choice, to secure the

cessation of the infringement or to enter suit against the infringer. Archemix and/or Gilead shall have the right to participate in any such action and to be represented by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense. If Aptamera fails to exercise its right to bring an action or proceeding to so enforce a Licensed Patent Right within a period of [***] days after receipt of written notice of infringement of such Licensed Patent Right, then Archemix shall have the right to bring and control any such action by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense. If both Aptamera and Archemix fail to exercise its right to bring an action or proceeding to so enforce a Licensed Patent Right within a period of [***] days after receipt of written notice of infringement of such Licensed Patent Right, then Gilead shall have the right to bring and control any such action by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense. In such an event, Gilead shall have the right to extend the right to participate in and control, as applicable, any such action to its Affiliates and sublicensees, as Gilead in its sole discretion deems necessary to satisfy its obligations to such other sublicensees of the Licensed Patent Rights. If any such action or proceeding is brought by an Interested Party hereunder, the other Interested Parties agree to be joined as necessary as party plaintiffs and to give the Interested Party bringing suit reasonable assistance and authority to control, file and prosecute the suit as necessary, at the sole expense of the Interested Party bringing suit. The costs and expenses of the Interested Party bringing suit under this Section 11.3.2 (including the internal costs and expenses specifically attributable to such suit) shall be reimbursed first out of any damages or other monetary awards recovered in favor of the Interested Parties, and any remaining damages shall be paid to the Interested Party that controlled such action. No settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 11.3.2 relating to a Licensed Patent Right may be entered into without the consent of the Interested Parties not controlling such action, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

11.4

Infringement of Third Party Rights.

	11.4.1		Notice of Claim. If the practice of the Licensed IP Rights by Aptamera, its Affiliates or sublicensees, in accordance with the licenses granted under Section 3 hereof, results in a claim of patent infringement against Aptamera, its Affiliates or sublicensees, the Party to this Agreement first having notice of that claim shall promptly notify the other Party and Gilead in writing. The notice shall set forth the facts of the claim in reasonable detail.

	11.4.2		Resolution of Claims. If a Third Party asserts that a patent or other right owned by or licensed to it is infringed within a country by the practice of the Licensed IP Rights by Aptamera, its Affiliates or sublicensees, in accordance with the licenses granted under Section 3 hereof, Aptamera may attempt to resolve the asserted infringement; provided, however that Archemix and/or Gilead shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to participate in any such resolution and to be represented by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense. Aptamera shall control the process to resolve any such infringement. The matter shall be deemed resolved if Aptamera obtains: (i) a license permitting Aptamera to manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and sell Products in that country on a royalty-free basis (ii) a legally binding statement or representation from the Third Party

that: (A) no action will be taken against Aptamera, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, or (B) that the patent or other right is not infringed by the practice of the Licensed IP Rights by Aptamera, its Affiliates or its sublicensees in such country; or (iii) a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal has or can be taken that the Third Party’s patent(s) alleged to be infringed is invalid, or the Third Party’s patent(s) or other right(s) are unenforceable or not infringed by the practice of the Licensed IP Rights by Aptamera, its Affiliates or sublicensees. Aptamera shall have the primary right to defend any such claim. Archemix and/or Gilead shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such suit at its sole option and at its own expense. Each Interested Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Interested Parties conducting the defense of the claim. The Interested Party conducting the defense shall not enter into any settlement that affects the other Interested Parties’ rights or interests without such other Interested Parties’ prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

TERMINATION

	12.1		Expiration. Subject to the provisions of Sections 12.2 and 12.3 below, this Agreement shall expire on the expiration of Aptamera’s obligation to pay royalties to Archemix under Section 4.1 above.

	12.2		Termination for Cause. A Party may terminate this Agreement upon or after the material breach of this Agreement by the other Party if the other Party has not cured such material breach within [*] days after written notice thereof by the non-breaching Party; provided, however, if any material breach is not capable of being cured within such [*] day period and the other Party is diligently undertaking to cure such material breach as soon as commercially feasible thereafter under the circumstances, the non-breaching Party shall have no right to terminate this Agreement.

	12.3		Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration of this Agreement under Section 12.1, Aptamera shall have a paid up, exclusive, worldwide license under the Licensed Know-How Rights for use in the Field. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to or upon such expiration or termination, and the provisions of Sections 10, 11 and 13 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

	12.4		Rights Upon Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement under Section 12.2 the license granted by Archemix to Aptamera shall immediately terminate.

INDEMNIFICATION

13.1

Indemnification. Aptamera shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Gilead, its Affiliates and UTC and any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Gilead Indemnitee”), and Archemix, and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Archemix Indemnitee”) from and against any Damages that are incurred by a Gilead Indemnitee or Archemix Indemnitee as a result of Third Party claims, demands, actions or proceedings (collectively, the “Claims”) to the extent such Claims arise out of:

	i.		the breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty by Aptamera hereunder;

	ii.		failure to perform duly and punctually any of Aptamera’s covenants or undertakings under this Agreement, including, without limitation Aptamera’s covenants in Section 2 hereof;

	iii.		the possession, research, development, manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or other commercialization, distribution, administration, storage or transport, by Aptamera or its Affiliates or sublicensees of (A) any Aptamers or Products or (B) any other products, services and activities developed by Aptamera relating to the Licensed IP Rights, including any Products or Aptamers; and

	iv.		manufacture, use, sale or promotion of the Products.

13.2

Procedure. Archemix promptly shall notify Aptamera of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding for which Archemix intends to claim indemnification. Aptamera shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent Archemix so desires jointly with any other indemnitor similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by Aptamera; provided, however, that Archemix shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by Archemix. The indemnity obligations under this Section 13 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the prior express written consent of Aptamera, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure to deliver notice to Aptamera within a reasonable time after notice of any such claim or demand, or the commencement of any such action or other proceeding, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to Archemix under this Section 13 with respect thereto, but the omission so to deliver notice to Aptamera shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to Archemix other than under this Section 13. Aptamera may not settle or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, that diminishes the rights or interests of Archemix without the prior express written consent of Archemix, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Archemix, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with Aptamera and its legal representatives

			in the investigation of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding covered by this Section 13.

	13.3		Insurance. Aptamera shall maintain insurance with respect to the research, development and commercialization of Products by Aptamera in such amount as Aptamera customarily maintains with respect to the research, development and commercialization of its similar products. Aptamera shall maintain such insurance for so long as it continues to research, develop or commercialize any Products, and thereafter for so long as Aptamera customarily maintains insurance covering the research, development or commercialization of its similar products.

	14.5		Independent Contractors. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the Parties shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither Party shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other Party, without the prior consent of the other Party to do so.

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

	14.7		Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement to the extent, and for so long as, such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party including but not limited to fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other Party.
