making, using or selling of a Development Product that infringes the intellectual property of a third party which would only be infringed (i) by reason of the use by PBM of technology that is incorporated in, or which is used to develop the
Development Product by PBM, other than the NANOGEN Reagents or (ii) by reason of label claims for the Development Product if the Regulatory Approval for the Development Product is owned by PBM. 

  

 25 









	 	c)	Except in the event that such claims, suits, losses, damages, costs, fees or expenses arise from (i) any negligent or wrongful act or omission of PBM or its agents,
distributors, or customers, (ii) the failure of the Development Products to meet the Development Products Specifications, or the Reader to meet Reader specifications, or (iii) an act requiring PBM to identify NANOGEN under
Section 11.1 b), then NANOGEN agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the PBM Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, suits, losses, damages, costs, fees and expenses resulting from or arising out of the use, handling,

indirectly from the NANOGEN Inventory by any person other than a PBM Indemnitee, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing any damages, losses or liabilities whatsoever with respect to death or injury of a person or the damage to
property of a person, provide that PBM provides NANOGEN with prompt notice of any such claim and the exclusive ability to defend (with the reasonable cooperation of PBM) or settle any such claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Nanogen will indemnify PBM under this section (i) for the underpayment by NANOGEN to PBM of royalties on sales of Development Products by NANOGEN and its subdistributors for which PBM owes a royalty and (ii) for the non-payment of

the foregoing, any damages, losses or liabilities whatsoever with respect to death or injury to person or damage to property, provided that NANOGEN provides PBM with prompt notice of any such claim and the exclusive ability to defend (with the
reasonable cooperation of NANOGEN) or settle any such claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, PBM will indemnify NANOGEN under this section (i) for the underpayment by PBM to NANOGEN of royalties on sales of Development
Products by PBM and its subdistributors for which NANOGEN owes a royalty and (ii) for the non-payment by PBM of royalties to PBM’s licensors on sales of Development Products by NANOGEN and its distributors to the extent that PBM received

	 	e)	In the event that the Parties cannot in good faith agree as to the application of subsections a), b) c) or d) above to any particular loss or claim, the Parties may (i) after
the Executives’ Meetings provide for by Section 12.2 hereof, by mutual agreement proceed to arbitration, or, alternatively, in the discretion of the Party seeking indemnification, (ii) conduct separate defenses of such claim and that
Party shall be relieved of its obligation to tender to the indemnifying Party the exclusive ability to defend such claim or suit as a condition of indemnification. The exercise by a Party of the right to defend a claim against it as provided in this
subsection c) shall not constitute a waiver of the right to indemnification by the other Party 

  

	 	11.2	Expenses. 

 No Party shall be required to pay
over to another amounts called for under this Article until the final resolution of the claim, suit or proceeding from which the right to such payment arose.

action instituted against it, in respect of the agreements contained in this Agreement, shall promptly give written notice of such claim, or the commencement of such action, or threat thereof to the Party from whom indemnity shall be sought
hereunder; provided, however, the failure to provide such notice within a reasonable period of time shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such
failure; 

  

	 	b)	The indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its own expense to participate in the defense of such claim or action, or, if it shall elect, to assume such defense, in which event such
defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such indemnifying Party, which counsel may be any counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party against whom such claim is asserted, or who shall be the defendant in such action, and such
indemnified Party shall bear all fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it; 

  

 27 









	 	c)	Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if the named parties in such action (including impleaded parties) include the indemnified and the indemnifying Parties have been
advised by counsel that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party in conducting the defense of such action, or that there are legal defenses available to such indemnified Party different from
or in addition to those available to the indemnifying Party, then the indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its election, to conduct such separate defense as is necessary to protect its own interests, at its own expense, if it is determined by
agreement of the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party or by a court of competent jurisdiction that the indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder for the Indemnified Amounts giving rise to such action;


  

	 	d)	If the indemnifying Party shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or action, such indemnifying Party shall reimburse such indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and
expenses of any counsel retained by it, and shall be bound by the results obtained by the indemnified Party in respect of such claim or action if it is determined by agreement of the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party or by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder for the Indemnified Amounts giving rise to such action; provided, however, that no such claim or action shall be settled without the written consent of the
indemnifying Party. 

  

	 	11.5	Survival of Indemnification Obligations. 

 The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiry or termination of this Agreement. 
  

	 	11.6	Disclaimer of Consequential Damages.

 The Parties agree to pay Royalties to Roche Diagnostics and Ottawa Heart Institute for
the SYN.X Licensed Products. The Parties understand and agree that additional Royalties to other Third Parties may arise during the term of this agreement and the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith royalty terms similar to those in this
Section. 
 Royalty Payable to Roche Diagnostics GmbH 
 The
royalty is [***]% of Net Sales. Nanogen shall advise PBM about the applicable rate by written notice. 
  

	1.	“Net Sales” is defined in the Roche Agreements as follows: 

 “’Net Sales’ shall mean ... gross sales of SYN-X Licensed Products to a Third Party less VAT/sales tax, GST tax, PST tax, and any other taxes, and less other deductible expenses including returns, rebates, allowances,
transport, freight, insurance, duties, taxes, credits and other charges, provided that in no event the deductions in aggregate, excluding taxes, shall exceed [***]%, which SYN-X or its Affiliate or Distributor may deduct on a lump sum basis. It is
understood that a SYN-X Licensed Product may be sold in a Combination Product: 
 “(i) In the event that a Combination Product contains other products
in addition to SYN_X Licensed Products, each of which is otherwise sold separately, Net Sales for determining
royalty payments of the Combination Product, shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of that Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where ‘A’ is the list selling price of SYN-X Licensed Product, during the royalty period
being considered, and ‘B’ is the list selling price of the other products sold separately during the royalty period being considered. 
 “(ii)
If the Combination Product contains other products which are not sold or offered for sale separately in a particular market or during the royalty period being considered, the Net Sales of that Combination Product shall be determined as sales of a
Licensed Product alone.” 
  

	2.	“Combination Product” is defined in the Roche Agreements as follows: 

 “‘Combination Product’ shall mean a SYN-X Licensed Product sold in combination with any other products and/or services, whether packaged together or separately, in particular a SYN-X Licensed Product designed to also measure
other parameters, whether packaged together or separately, if such SYN-X Licensed Product and such other products and/or services are offered for Sale at a one unit price.”

 “‘Third Party’ shall mean a natural person, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, any governmental authority or other business entity or organization, and any other recognized organization other than the Parties
