8.4.3 Taxes; Withholding.

(a) Generally. Each Party shall pay any and all income taxes levied on account of all payments it receives under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.4.3 (Taxes; Withholding).

(b) Indirect Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following shall apply with respect to Indirect Taxes. All payments and consideration are stated inclusive of Indirect Taxes. If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable by the payer in respect of any payments or consideration due under this Agreement, the payee shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of any such payments or consideration, following the receipt, where applicable, of a valid Indirect Taxes invoice issued in the appropriate form by the payer in respect of those payments or consideration to which such Indirect Taxes relate. The Parties shall issue valid Indirect Tax invoices for all goods and services supplied under this Agreement consistent with the law governing such Indirect Tax, and to the extent any invoice is not initially issued in an appropriate form, the Parties shall cooperate to provide such information or assistance as may be necessary to enable the issuance of such invoice consistent with the law governing such Indirect Tax.

8.4.4 Late Payments. If Jemincare does not receive payment from RAPT of any sum due to it under this Agreement on or before the due date therefor, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to Jemincare from the due date until the date of payment at a [***] rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition or, if lower, the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law.

Prior to its inspection, the Auditor shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with both Parties having obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to the Confidential Information no less restrictive than those set forth in Article 10 (Confidentiality) and limiting the disclosure and use of such information by the Auditor to authorized representatives of the Parties and the purposes germane to Section 8.5.1 (Records). Jemincare shall ensure that Auditor shall only disclose to Jemincare the amount of underpayment or overpayment (if any), and the reasons for and methods of calculating such underpayment or overpayment (if any), and not any other Confidential Information of RAPT. Results of any such review shall be binding on both Parties absent manifest error. Jemincare shall treat the results of any Auditor’s review of RAPT’s records as Confidential Information of RAPT subject to the terms of Article 10 (Confidentiality). Jemincare shall pay the full cost of the audit unless the underpayment of amounts due by RAPT is greater than [***] of the amount due for the entire period being examined, in which case RAPT shall pay the reasonable cost charged by the Auditor for such review. In the event such audit reveals an underpayment by RAPT, RAPT shall, within [***] after receipt of such report from the Auditor, pay the amount of the discrepancy. In the event that such audit reveals an overpayment by RAPT, RAPT shall have the option to (a) have Jemincare reimburse RAPT for such excess payments or (b) credit the discrepancy against any future payments owed by RAPT under this Agreement.

good faith with RAPT with respect to any such certification, communications or notice under Applicable Law, including with respect to proceedings related thereto. At RAPT’s written request, Jemincare shall prepare such lists and make such responses at RAPT’s direction and cost, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Law. At RAPT’s cost, Jemincare shall (x) provide to RAPT, within [***] of RAPT’s request, all information, including a correct and complete list of Licensed Patents that is necessary or reasonably useful to enable RAPT to make such lists and communications with respect to the Licensed Patents solely to the extent not already provided under this Agreement, and (y) cooperate with RAPT’s reasonable requests in connection therewith, including reasonable requests to meet any submission deadlines, in each case, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Law.

9.7.2 Defense Actions. As between the Parties, except with respect to proceedings covered by the definition of Prosecution and Maintenance (which, for clarity, are addressed in Section 9.2 (Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents and Resulting Patents)), each Party shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of the validity and enforceability of the Licensed Patents and Resulting Patents for which such Party has the right to Prosecute and Maintain under Section 9.2 (Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents and Resulting Patents) at its sole cost and expense and using counsel of its own choice (such Party being referred to as the controlling Party and the other Party being referred to as the non-controlling Party).

9.7.3 Cooperation. The non-controlling Party may participate in any claim, suit or proceeding conducted by the controlling Party regarding the validity and enforceability with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense; provided that the

9.7.4 Settlement. The controlling Party shall have the right to settle the applicable claim, suit or proceeding; provided that neither Party shall enter into any settlement that admits to the invalidity, unpatentability, narrowing of scope or unenforceability of any Licensed Patent or any Joint Resulting Patent in any manner; incurs any financial liability on the part of the other Party; or requires an admission of liability, wrongdoing or fault on the part of the other Party; in each case, without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, further that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed to preclude, or require the consent of such other Party in connection with, a settlement that would or may result in reduced payments hereunder, but would not otherwise fall within the scope of the foregoing limitation.

Indemnitee”), it shall inform the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) of the claim giving rise to the obligation to indemnify pursuant to Section 12.1 (Indemnification by RAPT) or Section 12.2 (Indemnification by Jemincare), as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of or otherwise becoming aware of the claim (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”); provided that any delay or failure to provide such notice shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise limit, the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification under Section 12.1 (Indemnification by RAPT) or Section 12.2 (Indemnification by Jemincare), as applicable, except to the extent that such delay or failure prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against the relevant claims or results in increased Damages to the Indemnitor.

12.3.2 The Indemnitor shall have the right, upon written notice given to the Indemnitee within [***] 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 12.1 (Indemnification by RAPT) or Section 12.2 (Indemnification by Jemincare), as applicable, using appropriately qualified legal counsel.

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.
