47


as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of the claim (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”); provided, that any delay or failure to provide such notice will not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise limit, the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification under Section 14.1 or Section 14.2, as applicable, except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against the relevant claims.
14.3.2    The Indemnitor will have the right and obligation within [***] days after receipt of the Indemnification Claim Notice, to assume the defense of any such claim for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 14.1 or Section 14.2, as applicable.

The Jounce policy(ies) shall name Gilead, its officers, directors, employees and volunteers, as Additional Insured. [***]. Such insurance will not be construed to create a limit on either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 14, or otherwise.

Article 16

MISCELLANEOUS
16.1    Severability. If one (1) or more of the terms or provisions of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction, and such term or provision will be considered severed from this Agreement solely for such situation and solely in such jurisdiction, unless the void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision is of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision. If the final judgment of such court declares that any term or provision hereof is void, invalid, or unenforceable, the Parties agree to: (a) reduce the scope, duration, area, or applicability of the term or provision or to delete specific words or phrases to the minimum extent necessary to cause such term or provision as so reduced or amended to be enforceable; and (b) make a good-faith effort to replace any void, invalid, or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.
16.2    Notices.

Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of facsimile by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg, or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) will be treated in all manners and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party hereto will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

The Parties further agree not to raise as a defense or objection to the request or granting of such relief that any breach of this Agreement is or would be compensable by an award of money damages. No remedy referred to in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive, but each will be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to in this Agreement or otherwise available under Applicable Law.

Accordingly, in interpreting this Agreement or any provision hereof, no presumption will apply against any Party as being responsible for the wording or drafting of this Agreement or any such provision, and ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement will not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision.
