10.3.1.    In order for a NeuroMetrix Indemnified Party or a GSK Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party must notify, with respect to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1, NeuroMetrix, or, with respect to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2, GSK (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third Party Claim (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claim(s), including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known or reasonably ascertainable by such Indemnified Party, and, if not then known or reasonably ascertainable, the maximum amount of such damages reasonably estimated by the Indemnified Party) within [***] Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of actual notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

10.3.2.    The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense or opposition to a Third Party Claim of which it has been notified in accordance with Section 10.3.1, with counsel selected by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days after it has been notified of the Third Party Claim, that it will defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim and that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses related to such Third Party Claim; (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages, does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (iii) the Indemnified Party has not been advised in writing by outside counsel that a legal conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party commits in writing to the Indemnified Party to diligently and vigorously and in good faith conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim using counsel selected and retained by Indemnified Party at its own expense. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party unless (1) the claimant in such Third Party Claim provides to such other Party an unqualified release of such other Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (2) such settlement does not involve any injunctive relief binding upon such other Party, (3) such settlement does not encumber any of the assets of such other Party or impose any restriction or

condition that would apply to or materially affect such other Party or the conduct of such other Party’s businesses and (4) such settlement does not involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing by such other Party.

If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes the indemnity claimed by the Indemnified Party under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, such indemnity claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability to be indemnified under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 and the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the amount of the Losses stated in such notice to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the Losses (or any portion thereof) are estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Losses (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

12.3.    Consents and Approvals    . For any matter under this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of either Party to be valid and binding on the Party, such consent or approval must be in writing.

12.4.    Counterparts    . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission in .pdf, .tiff or any similar format),

all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party.

12.5.    Entire Agreement    . Before signing this Agreement, the Parties had numerous conversations, including preliminary discussions, formal negotiations and informal conversations at meals and social occasions, and have generated correspondence and other writings, in which the Parties discussed the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement and their goals and objectives related thereto. In such conversations and writings, individuals representing the Parties may have expressed their judgments and beliefs concerning the intentions, capabilities, and practices of the Parties, and may have forecasted future events. The Parties recognize that such conversations and writings often involve an effort by both Parties to present a positive and optimistic outlook about the prospects for a transaction such as the contemplated transactions. However, the Parties also recognize that business transactions contain an element of risk, as do the contemplated transactions, and that it is normal business practice to limit the legal obligations of contracting parties to only those promises and representations which are essential to their transaction so as to provide certainty as to their respective future rights and remedies. Accordingly, other than the Transaction Agreements (as defined the Asset Purchase Agreement), the Confidentiality Agreements, and the other related documents, this Agreement is intended to define the full extent of the legally enforceable undertakings of the Parties, and no promise or representation, written or oral, which is not set forth explicitly in this Agreement is intended by either Party to be legally binding. Each of the Parties acknowledges that, in deciding to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the contemplated transactions, none of them has relied upon any statements or representations, written or oral, other than those explicitly set forth herein or therein.

12.6.    No Third-Party Beneficiaries    . This Agreement and other related documents are not intended to and do not confer upon any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable rights.

12.7.    Assignment    . Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that (a) GSK, upon prior written notice to NeuroMetrix, may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, but no such assignment shall relieve GSK of any of its obligations hereunder; provided that any such assignee of GSK shall be primarily liable with respect to the obligations hereunder and the liability of GSK shall be secondary; and (b) NeuroMetrix or GSK and its Affiliates, as applicable, may assign, in their sole discretion, all their rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to a Third Party in connection with any transaction or series of transactions in which such Third Party directly or indirectly acquires the Business, the Device or the other assets purchased under the Asset Purchase Agreement (whether by merger, stock sale or other similar transaction) or substantially all its assets or business. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

12.8.    GOVERNING APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REGARDLESS OF THE APPLICABLE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF APPLICABLE LAWS THEREOF.

12.9.1.    Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the state courts of New York located in New York County, and (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein. Each Party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the state courts of New York located in New York County. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by the U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 12.9. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (x) the state courts of New York located in New York County, and (y) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

12.9.2.    EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY. Each Party certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement, by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 12.9.2.

12.9.3.    Except for purposes of any right to indemnity under Article 10, each Party waives (i) with the exception of relief mandated by statute, any claim to punitive, exemplary, or multiplied damages and (ii) any claim for attorney fees, costs and prejudgment interest.

12.9.4.    The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at Applicable Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the state courts of New York located in New York County, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Applicable Law or in equity and as further set forth in this Section 12.9.

12.10.    Severability    . If any term or other provision of this Agreement or any related document is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Applicable Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement or such related document shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement or such related document so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

12.11.    Amendment    . This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

12.12.    Extension; Waiver    . As it relates to any obligation under this Agreement or any related document to be performed at any time after the Effective Date, the Parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any related document or (c) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of either Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

12.13.    Equitable Relief.     Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section 3.10 and Articles 7 and 8 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity. Both Parties agree to waive any requirement that the other (i) post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief and (ii) show irreparable harm, balancing of harms, consideration of the public interest or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy. Nothing in this Section 12.13 is intended or should be construed, to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of any other provision of this Agreement.

The GSK Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy (POL-GSK-007) requires compliance with the highest ethical standards and all anti-corruption laws applicable in the countries in which GSK (whether through a third party or otherwise) conducts business. POL-GSK-007 requires all GSK employees and any third party acting for or on behalf of GSK to ensure that all dealings with third parties, both in the private and government sectors, are carried out in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and with the standards of integrity required for all GSK business. GSK values integrity and transparency and has zero tolerance for corrupt activities of any kind, whether committed by GSK employees, officers, or third-parties acting for or on behalf of the GSK.

Corrupt Payments – GSK employees and any third party acting for or on behalf of GSK, shall not, directly or indirectly, promise, authorize, ratify or offer to make or make any “payments” of “anything of value” (as defined in the glossary section) to any individual (or at the request of any individual) including a “government official” (as defined in the glossary section) for the improper purpose of influencing or inducing or as a reward for any act, omission or decision to secure an improper advantage or to improperly assist the company in obtaining or retaining business.

Government Officials – Although GSK´s policy prohibits payments by GSK or third parties acting for or on its behalf to any individual, private or public, as a “quid pro quo” for business, due to the existence of specific anticorruption laws in the countries where we operate, this policy is particularly applicable to “payments” of “anything of value” (as defined in the glossary section), or at the request of, “government officials” (as defined in the glossary section).

Facilitating Payments – For the avoidance of doubt, facilitating payments (otherwise known as “greasing payments” and defined as payments to an individual to secure or expedite the performance of a routine government action by government officials) are no exception to the general rule and therefore prohibited.

The terms defined herein should be construed broadly to give effect to the letter and spirit of the ABAC Policy. GSK is committed to the highest ethical standards of business dealings and any acts that create the appearance of promising, offering, giving or authorizing payments prohibited by this policy will not be tolerated.

Anything of Value: this term includes cash or cash equivalents, gifts, services, employment offers, loans, travel expenses, entertainment, political contributions, charitable donations, subsidies, per diem payments, sponsorships, honoraria or provision of any other asset, even if nominal in value.

Payments: this term refers to and includes any direct or indirect offers to pay, promises to pay, authorizations of or payments of anything of value.

Government Official shall mean:
