ASD shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Dyax and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Dyax Indemnitees”) against any liability, damage, loss, penalty, fine or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by or imposed upon the Dyax Indemnitees or any of them in connection with any claims, suits, demands, investigations, enforcement actions, or judgments, in each case initiated by a third party (including any governmental or regulatory agency) (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) which arise out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of ASD in connection with this Agreement; or (b) the breach of this Agreement by ASD, in each case except for those Losses for which Dyax has an obligation to indemnify ASD pursuant to Section 12.2(b), as to which Losses each party shall indemnify the other to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

(i) This Agreement may be terminated by either party on written termination notice to the other party in the event of any material breach of this Agreement by the other party (other than a breach by ASD Section 8.1, which is governed by clause (ii) below), which breach is not cured within [*****] after delivery of written notice by the non-breaching party specifying such breach and requiring cure. Notwithstanding the right to cure provided by the foregoing sentence, ASD shall have the right to cure only two (2) material breaches of any particular obligation hereunder, and this Agreement may be terminated by Dyax immediately on written notice to ASD in the event of any additional material breach of such obligation by ASD.

(ii) This Agreement may be terminated by Dyax immediately on written notice to ASD in the event of any material breach by ASD of Section 8.1.

In the event that any of (a) the Distribution Services Agreement of even date herewith between Dyax and US BIOSERVICES CORPORATION, or (b) the Distribution Services Agreement of even date herewith between Dyax and Integrated Commercialization Solutions, Inc. is terminated for any reason, then (i) this Agreement may be terminated by Dyax immediately upon written notice to ASD; and (ii) if not terminated, ICS will notify Dyax of any applicable adjustment to Fees based upon such termination.

(e) Supervening Illegality.

(i) This Agreement shall terminate if both: (A) as a result of the enactment of any new applicable federal or state law or regulation, or any change in any existing applicable federal or state law or regulation or any new interpretation of any applicable federal or state law or regulation by any legislative body, court or regulatory agency, the performance by a party of any material obligation under the Agreement would be rendered illegal or any material provision of the Agreement would be rendered invalid or unenforceable, and (B) the parties are unable to negotiate a mutually acceptable amendment to the Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(e)(iii) below. If any immaterial provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete such provision, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of the Agreement in the particular jurisdiction in which such provision is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(ii) The parties agree that the party affected by the new law or regulation or the change in law or regulation or the interpretation of a law or regulation shall use reasonable efforts to give the other party at least [*****] prior written notice of the effective date of such new law, change, or interpretation.

(iii) The parties agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, either party may, within ten (10) business days of giving or receiving notice of the new law, change or interpretation, notify the other party of its wish to renegotiate the applicable terms of the Agreement (“Renegotiation Notice”), in which event the parties shall negotiate in good faith, for a period of sixty (60)

days from delivery of the Renegotiation Notice, an amendment to the Agreement that addresses the portion of the Agreement rendered illegal, invalid or unenforceable by the new law, change or interpretation while preserving to the greatest extent possible the original intent of the Agreement. If the parties successfully conclude such negotiations prior to the effective date of the new law, change or interpretation, the Agreement shall not terminate and shall be amended to reflect the negotiated terms. If the parties are unable to successfully conclude such negotiations prior to the effective date of the new law, change or interpretation and such effective date is within the sixty (60) day negotiation period, the Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete such portion rendered illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of the Agreement in the particular jurisdiction in which such portion is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and the remainder shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

The provisions of Sections 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 13.3, 15.10 and 15.11 and Articles 10, 12 and 14, together with and any other provisions which by their express terms extend beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

13.4 Termination of Exclusivity. In the event that (i) Dyax has the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason (except pursuant to Section 13.2(a) (Termination for Convenience), Dyax, on

immediate written notice to ASD, may terminate Section 2.3(a), which shall have no further force or effect from and after the delivery of such notice by Dyax.

14.2 Arbitration. If chief executive officers (or their representatives, it being agreed that the chief executive officer of either party may designate a representative, provided such representative is empowered with decision making in the dispute) of the parties fail to resolve any dispute as provided in Section 14.1 within [*****], then such dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration as follows:

The arbitration shall be held, and Dyax and ASD irrevocably consent to arbitrate, in New York, NY, unless they mutually agree upon an alternative location. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. In rendering the award the arbitrator must apply the substantive law of the State of Delaware (except where that law conflicts with this clause); however, the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator shall render a written opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law with the reasons therefor stated. Under no circumstances shall the arbitrator award damages in excess of or inconsistent with any limitations of liability contained in this Agreement. Any court with jurisdiction shall enforce this clause and enter judgment on any award.

(b) The arbitration proceedings shall be confidential, and neither party shall publicize the nature of any dispute or the outcome of any mediation or arbitration proceedings except to the extent required by law, provided in such case the party required to make any disclosure informs the other party of such requirement to allow the other party to seek a

protective order. The mediator or arbitrator, as the case may be, shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each party’s confidential information.

(c) Each party has the right before or during the mediation or arbitration to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, an injunction, replevin, etc., to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration.

15.5 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified only by means of a written instrument signed by both parties.
