15.INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE

15.1By CSPC. Subject to Section 15.3 (Procedure), CSPC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Elevation and its Affiliates and Sublicensees, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Elevation Indemnitee”) from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, losses, liabilities and damages, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”) to which any Elevation Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding

by any Third Party (a “Claim”) to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of CSPC or its Affiliates and their respective officers and directors in connection with its activities under this Agreement; (b) the material breach of this Agreement by CSPC or the breach of representations, warranties and covenants made hereunder by CSPC; or (c) CSPC’s Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Excluded Territory, except, in each case, to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of or breach of this Agreement by Elevation or any Elevation Indemnitee.

15.2 By Elevation. Subject to Section 15.3 (Procedure), Elevation shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless CSPC, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “CSPC Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any CSPC Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Elevation or its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, and Sublicensees in connection with its activities under this Agreement; (b) the material breach of this Agreement by Elevation or the breach of representations, warranties and covenants made hereunder by Elevation; or (c) Elevation’s Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Territory; except, in each case, to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of or breach of this Agreement by CSPC or any CSPC Indemnitee.

15.3Procedure. A Party or any of its indemnitees that intends to claim indemnification under this Section 15 (Indemnification; Insurance) (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Claim shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Section 15 (Indemnification; Insurance). The Indemnitor has sole control of the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action with respect to a Claim covered by this indemnification. The Indemnitee may participate at its expense in the Indemnitor’s defense of and settlement negotiations for any Claim with counsel of the Indemnitee’s own selection. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. So long as the Indemnitor is actively defending the Claim in good faith, the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above: (a) the Indemnitee may defend against, consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement with respect to such Claim in any manner the Indemnitee may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnitor in connection therewith); and (b) the Indemnitor shall remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnitee as provided in this Section 15 (Indemnification; Insurance).

15.4 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE (AND, FOR CLARITY, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL BE

ENTITLED TO RECOVER FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR LOST REVENUE DAMAGES WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED AS DIRECT OR INDIRECT DAMAGES), ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 15.4 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) IS INTENDED TO OR WILL LIMIT OR RESTRICT: (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 15.1 (BY CSPC) AND SECTION 15.2 (BY ELEVATION); OR (B) DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-USE OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12 (CONFIDENTALITY). EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR BREACH OF SECTION 12 (CONFIDENTIALITY) OR CSPC’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 15.1 (BY CSPC), IN NO EVENT WILL THE TOTAL COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF CSPC UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED [*].

15.5Insurance. During the Term of this Agreement, each Party shall maintain such types and amounts of liability insurance as is normal and customary in the industry generally for similarly situated Parties and adequate to cover its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall provide the other Party with evidence of such insurance upon request. Such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Section 15 (Indemnification; Insurance) or otherwise.

16.DISPUTE RESOLUTION

16.1Dispute Escalation. Except as provided in Section 7.1.4(b) (Final Decision Authority) and Section 16.5 (Patent and Trademark Disputes), upon the written request of either Party to the other Party, either Party may refer any claim, dispute, or controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement (a “Dispute”) to the Executive Officer of Elevation and the Executive Officer of CSPC for resolution. If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve such matter within [*] after the initial written request, then, upon the written demand of either Party, the Parties shall resolve such matter by binding arbitration, as provided in Section 16.2 (Arbitration). Any disputes about the propriety of commencing arbitration or the scope or applicability of the agreement to arbitrate shall be finally settled by the arbitral tribunal.

16.2 Arbitration

(a)Any Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the commercial arbitration procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and administered by AAA in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules as then in effect (the “Rules”), except as they be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the Parties.

(b)The arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) or more arbitrator(s) appointed in accordance with the Rules; provided that: (i) such arbitrator(s) is

not a current or former employees or directors, or current stockholders, of either Party, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their Sublicensees; and (ii) each arbitrator(s) has experience and familiarity with commercial licensing practices in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Delaware, USA, and all proceedings and communications shall be in the English language.

(c)The arbitral tribunal shall permit discovery (including both the production of documents and deposition testimony) as reasonably necessary for an understanding of any legitimate issue raised in the arbitration, while also taking into account the desirability of making discovery efficient and cost-effective, and, in addition to the authority conferred upon the arbitral tribunal by such Rules, the arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to order production of documents in accordance with the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration as current on the commencement of the arbitration.

(d)The arbitral tribunal shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief that it deems appropriate, whether provisional or final, including but not limited to conservatory relief and injunctive relief, provided that the arbitral tribunal’s authority to award special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages is subject to the limitation set forth in Section 15.4 (Limitation of Liability), except to the extent the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, United States, do not permit such limitation. The award shall be rendered within [*] of the appointment of the arbitral tribunal unless the Parties jointly request an extension, or the arbitral tribunal determines, in a reasoned decision that the interest of justice or the complexity of the case requires that such limit be extended.

(e)The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties, and the Parties undertake to carry out the award without delay. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)During the pendency of the arbitration, each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitration and the arbitral tribunal shall fix costs in the arbitral award in accordance with the Rules.

16.3Confidentiality of Arbitration. The existence and content of the arbitral proceedings and any rulings or awards shall be kept confidential by the Parties and the arbitral tribunal except: (a) to the extent that disclosure may be required of a Party to fulfill a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a state court or other judicial authority; (b) with the consent of all Parties; (c) where needed for the preparation or presentation of a claim or defense in this arbitration; (d) where such information is already in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this clause; or (e) by order of the arbitral tribunal upon application of a Party.

16.4 Injunctive Relief; Court Actions. Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim injunctive or other

interim relief in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the Parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding. In addition, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of Patents or other intellectual property rights, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 16.2 (Arbitration).

16.5Patent and Trademark Disputes. Any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patents or trademarks covering the Manufacture, use, Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.

17.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, pandemics, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party will not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a Force Majeure Event affecting such Party. If a Force Majeure Event persists for more than [*], the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure Event.
