(b) Upon the expiration of twenty four (24) months following the end of any year for which Hanmi or Kinex has made payment in full of amounts payable with respect to such year, and in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct of Hanmi or Kinex or a contrary finding by an accounting firm pursuant to Section 4.5(a), such calculation shall be binding and conclusive upon Hanmi or Kinex, and Hanmi or Kinex, as applicable, shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to royalties or other payments for such year.

(e) For any legal action or defense contemplated by this Section 6.3, in the event that any Party is unable to initiate, prosecute, or defend such action solely in its own name, the other Party will join such action voluntarily and will execute all documents necessary for the Party to prosecute, defend and maintain such action. In connection with any such action, the Parties will cooperate fully and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either reasonably may request. Any recovery or award obtained by either Party as a result of any such action or settlement shall be shared as follows:

(i) the Party that initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action shall recoup all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the action, whether the recovery is by settlement or otherwise;

In addition, Kinex shall pay all damages awarded or settlement payments made (including future royalty or similar payments) to such Third Party.

(c) Termination by Either Party. Either Party may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it under this Agreement or at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement prior to expiration of the Agreement Term in the event that any of the following occurs:

(i) The other Party (as used in this subsection, the “Breaching Party”) shall have materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder (including a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement), and has not cured such breach within (i) thirty (30) days after notice of such breach is provided to the Breaching Party in case the breach is a non-payment of any amount due under this Agreement that is not being disputed in good faith (which shall be deemed a material breach of a material obligation) and (ii) sixty (60) days after notice of such breach is provided to the Breaching Party for other cases of breach (or, if such default cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period, if the Breaching Party does not commence and diligently continue actions to cure such default during such sixty (60) day period). The termination shall become effective at the end of the (i) thirty (30) day period in case the breach is a non-payment of any amount due under this Agreement that is not being disputed in good faith if the Breaching Party has not cured such breach by such date, or (ii) for other cases of breach, sixty (60) day period unless (a) the Breaching Party cures such breach during such sixty (60) day period, or (b) if such breach is not susceptible to cure within such sixty (60) day period, the Breaching Party has commenced and is diligently pursuing a cure (unless such breach, by its nature, is incurable, in which case the Agreement may not be terminated unless the Breaching Party fails to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a similar subsequent breach). The right of either Kinex or Hanmi to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 8.2(c)(i) shall not be affected in any way by such Party’s waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous breach or default.

9.3 Kinex Indemnification. Kinex shall defend the Hanmi Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims, in each case that are brought by a Third Party, and shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Hanmi Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses that arise out of such Claims that are attributable to, (i) Kinex’s gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in exercising or performing any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) a material breach by Kinex of any of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement; provided, however, that Kinex shall not be obligated under this Section 9.3, to the extent it is shown by evidence acceptable in a court of law having jurisdiction over the subject matter and meeting the appropriate degree of proof for such Claim that the Claim arose out of the negligence or wrongdoing on the part of Hanmi.

9.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Claim. Concurrent with the provision of notice pursuant to this Section 9.4(a), the Indemnified Party shall provide to the other Party copies of any complaint, summons, subpoena or other court filings or correspondence related to such Claim and will give such other information with respect thereto as the other Party shall reasonably request. The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to such Claim. Failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve any Party of the duty to defend or indemnify unless such failure materially prejudices the defense of any matter. Each Party agrees that it will take reasonable steps to minimize the burdens of the litigation on witnesses and on the ongoing business of the Indemnified Parties including making reasonable accommodations to witnesses’ schedules when possible and seeking appropriate protective orders limiting the duration and/or location of depositions.

(b) Should either Party dispute that any Claim or portion of a Claim (“Disputed Claim”) of which it receives notice pursuant to Section 9.4(a), is an indemnified Claim, it shall so notify the other Party providing written notice in sufficient time to permit such other Party to retain counsel and timely appear, answer and/or move in any such action. In such event, such other Party shall defend against such Claim; provided, however, that such other Party shall not settle any Claim which it contends is an indemnified Claim without providing the Indemnifying Party ten (10) Business Days’ notice prior to any such settlement and an opportunity to assume the defense and indemnification of such Claim pursuant to this Agreement. If it is determined that a Disputed Claim is subject to indemnification, the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of the Indemnified Party.

The Indemnifying Party under Sections 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, shall have the sole authority to settle any Indemnified Claim without the consent of the other Party; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the other Party, as part of any settlement or compromise (i) admit to liability on the part of the other Party; (ii) agree to an injunction against the other Party; or (iii) settle any matter in a manner that separately apportions fault to the other Party. The Parties further agree that as part of the settlement of any Indemnified Claim, an Indemnifying Party shall obtain a full, complete and unconditional release from the claimant on behalf of the Indemnified Parties.

Any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any court sitting in Singapore or other court of competent jurisdiction in the Territory, and the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive any defense of any inconvenient forum or alternative forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding, including any decision by such court regarding the substantive issues involved in the underlying dispute.

or relating to this Agreement. Except as provide in Section 10.5, with regard to actions of specific performance, all disputes which arise in connection with this Agreement and its interpretation shall be settled in amicable way between the Parties. If the dispute cannot be settled in an amicable manner, it will be settled by arbitration to be held in Republic of Singapore in conformity with commercial arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce. The award rendered by arbitration shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto.

10.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter. All express or implied agreements and understandings, either oral or written, heretofore made, including any offering letters, letters of intent, or term sheets, are expressly superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument duly executed by all Parties hereto.

10.9 Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that the Parties shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency.
