INDEMNIFICATION
6.1 | Indemnification by Urovant. Urovant shall save, defend and hold Kyorin and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a Kyorin Indemnitee) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses and losses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys fees (collectively, Losses), to which any Kyorin Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Urovant Indemnitee in performing under this Agreement, (b) the breach by Urovant of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Urovant in this Agreement or (c) any activities by Urovant or its Affiliates or their respective sublicensees or subcontractors with respect to Vibegron, except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 6.2 (Indemnification by Kyorin). |
6.2 | Indemnification by Kyorin. Kyorin shall save, defend and hold Urovant, its Affiliates, its licensees and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a Urovant Indemnitee) harmless from and against any and all Losses to which any Urovant Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Kyorin Indemnitee in performing under this Agreement, (b) the breach by Kyorin of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Kyorin in this Agreement or (c) any activities by Kyorin or its Affiliates or their respective sublicensees or subcontractors with respect to Vibegron, except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 6.1 (Indemnification by Urovant). |
6.3 | Control of Defense. The Party entitled to indemnification under this Article 6 (Indemnification) shall give a written notice to the indemnifying Party of any Losses that may be subject to indemnification promptly after learning of such Losses (provided, however, that any failure or delay to notify shall not excuse any obligation of the indemnifying Party except to the extent such Party is actually prejudiced thereby), and the indemnifying Party shall assume (and have control over) the defense of such Losses with |
-13-
[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party and the indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with such defense (at the indemnifying Partys reasonable expense). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying Party with counsel so selected, the indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim with respect to such Losses without obtaining the indemnified Partys prior written consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified Party with respect to such Losses. For clarity, the indemnified Party may freely withhold its consent to a settlement of a claim with respect to Losses if (a) such settlement does not include a complete release from liability of the indemnified Party or if such settlement would involve undertaking an obligation (including the payment of money by an indemnified Party), (b) would bind or impair the indemnified Party or (c) includes any admission of wrongdoing or that any intellectual property or proprietary right of the indemnified Party or this Agreement is invalid, narrowed in scope or unenforceable. The indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim for which it is entitled to indemnification without obtaining the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, unless the indemnifying Party is in breach of its obligation to defend hereunder. |
ARTICLE 7
TERM AND TERMINATION
7.1 | Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue for so long as both Parties (or their sublicensees or Affiliate(s)) are Developing or Commercializing Vibegron, unless otherwise extended or terminated earlier by agreement of the Parties or as set forth in Section 7.2 (Termination for Material Breach), Section 7.3 (Termination for Change of Control), or Section 7.4 (Termination by Urovant Before Receipt of SAS Dataset). |
7.2 | Termination for Material Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other Party for the material breach of this Agreement, if such other Party has not cured such material breach within the sixty (60)-day period after the date of the receipt of such written notice. For clarity, any breach by Urovant of any of its obligations, representation or warranties under Section 4.4(a) and (b) shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, and in such case, this Section 7.2 (Termination for Material Breach) shall apply in addition to Section 4.4(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the allegedly breaching Party notifies the other Party within such sixty (60)-day period that it disagrees in good faith with such asserted basis for termination, this Agreement shall not terminate unless and until it has been finally determined in accordance with Article 5 (Dispute Resolution) that the allegedly breaching Party was in material breach with respect to such matter. During the pendency of any such dispute, each Party shall continue to perform its obligations hereunder. |
7.3 | Termination for Change of Control. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other Party if a Change of Control occurs to the other Party. |

Termination or expiration of this Agreement are neither Partys exclusive remedy and shall neither relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity |
-16-
[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED
with respect to any breach of this Agreement, nor prejudice either Partys right to obtain performance of any obligation. In the event that, following the effective date of termination under Section 7.2 (Termination for Material Breach), the Terminating Party fails to comply with the surviving provisions above, the Terminated Party shall have the right to terminate the Terminating Partys rights under Section 7.5(a)(ii) by following the procedures set forth in Section 7.2 (Termination for Material Breach). Following such termination, Section 7.5(a)(i) and (iii) shall apply mutatis mutandis (with the formerly Terminating Party deemed to be the Terminated Party, but for clarity, the formerly Terminated Party shall not be deemed to be the Terminating Party). |

Each Party shall be excused from liability for the failure or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement (other than failure to make payment when due) by reason of any event beyond such Partys reasonable control including acts of God, fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, pandemic flu, or other natural forces, war, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, accident, destruction or other casualty or any other event similar to those enumerated above; provided, that the affected Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and to mitigate the effect of such occurrence. Such excuse from liability shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance and provided that the Party has not caused such event(s) to occur. Notice of a Partys failure or delay in performance due to force majeure must be given to the other Party as promptly as is reasonably practicable after its occurrence and such Party shall provide the other Party with monthly status updates for the duration of the effect.

-19-
[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED
the Party waiving such term or condition.
