13.1    Indemnification by Lonza. Lonza shall indemnify the Customer, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“Customer Indemnitees”) from and against any loss, damage, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that Customer Indemnitees may suffer as a result of any Third Party claim arising out of (i) any material breach of the warranties given by Lonza in Clause 12.1 above or (ii) any claims alleging that the Services (excluding use by Lonza of Customer Information and Customer Background Intellectual Property) infringe any Intellectual Property rights of a Third Party or (iii) the negligence or intentional misconduct of Lonza; except, in each case, to the extent that such claims resulted from the negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Agreement by any Customer Indemnitees.

13.3    Indemnification Procedure. If the Party to be indemnified intends to claim indemnification under this Clause 13, it shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (“Indemnitor”) in writing of such claim. The Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defense and settlement thereof; provided, however, that: (i) the Indemnitor must obtain the prior written consent of the indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party claim; (ii) any indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense; and (iii) if the amount sought in any Third Party claim (alone or in aggregate with all other Third Party claims) (collectively, “Covered Claims”) exceeds the amounts payable by the Indemnitor pursuant to Clause 13.5 or the indemnitee otherwise believes that the total amount payable pursuant to the Covered Claims may exceed the amounts payable by the Indemnitor pursuant to Clause 13.5, then the Parties shall discuss and use reasonable efforts to agree who has conduct and control of the Covered Claims, provided that if the Parties are not able to agree within thirty (30) days after the indemnitee provides Indemnitor with notice of its desire to take over control of such Covered Claims (or such shorter period as necessary to preserve all of the indemnitee’s rights), the indemnitee may, at its election, retain full control over the such Covered Claims unless the Indemnitor executes a separate agreement with the indemnitee agreeing that it shall pay all amounts payable in connection with such Covered Claims irrespective of the limitation of liability in Clause 13.5.

14.3.3    as the Receiving Party can establish by competent proof, was rightfully in its possession at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party and had not been received from or on behalf of Disclosing Party or, in the case of Lonza as the Receiving Party, had also not been received from or on behalf of Isotechnika under the Isotechnika Agreements; or
14.3.4    is supplied to a Party by a Third Party which was not in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to Disclosing Party or any other party; or
14.3.5    is developed by the Receiving Party independently from and without use of the Confidential Information, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records.

addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and any other relief deemed appropriate by the Disclosing Party.
14.8    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may use and disclose the Lonza Information, to the extent incorporated into the manufacturing process, as necessary to exploit Customer’s rights under any license to be granted in accordance with Clause 11.5 or 11.8.
