INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
5.1 Indemnity.
(a) Indemnification by Idun. Idun shall indemnify and hold harmless Conatus and each of its Representatives (each a “Conatus Indemnitee”) from and against (i) any and all liabilities, losses and damages (“Losses”) finally awarded to a Third Party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a settlement approved by Idun that result from any Claim made or brought against a Conatus Indemnitee by or on behalf of such Third Party, and (ii) subject to Section 5.1(c), any direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Litigation Costs”) incurred by a Conatus Indemnitee while investigating or conducting the defense of such Third Party Claim, in any such case (i) and (ii), solely to the extent such Claim is directly based on or directly arises out of (a) the material breach by Idun of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; or (b) the Excluded Liabilities; provided, that such indemnification right shall not apply to any Losses or Litigation Costs for which Conatus is obligated to indemnify Idun under Section 5.1(b).
(b) Indemnification by Conatus. Conatus shall indemnify and hold harmless Idun and each of its Representatives (each an “Idun Indemnitee) from and against (i) any and all Losses finally awarded to a Third Party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a settlement approved by Conatus that result from any Claim made or bought against an Idun
6
Indemnitee by or on behalf of such Third Party, and (ii) subject to Section 5.1(c), any Litigation Costs incurred by an Idun Indemnitee while investigating or conducting the defense of such Third Party Claim, in any such case (i) and (ii), solely to the extent such Claim is directly based on or directly arises out of (a) the material breach by Conatus of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; or (b) the Assumed Liabilities; provided, that such indemnification right shall not apply to any Losses or Litigation Costs for which Idun is obligated to indemnify Conatus under Section 5.1(a).
(c) Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by a party seeking indemnification under this Section 5.1 (an “Indemnitee”) of notice of any pending or threatened Claim brought by a Third Party against it, such Indemnitee shall give written notice to the party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.1 (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement thereof; provided, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Claim and, to the extent that it elects within seven (7) days of its receipt of notice of the Claim from the Indemnitee, to assume control of the defense and settlement of such Claim (unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such proceeding and the Indemnifying Party has asserted a cross claim against the Indemnified Party or a court has otherwise determined that such that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to defend the Indemnitee in such Proceeding) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnitee for any Litigation Costs subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee. No compromise or settlement of any Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, no consent shall be required if (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee, (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and (C) the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are not restricted by such compromise or settlement.

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”), dated as of January 10, 2013 (“Effective Date”), is by and between Idun Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Idun”), and Conatus Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Conatus”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Idun and Conatus have simultaneously herewith entered into that certain Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Agreement, Conatus has agreed to, among other things, provide certain managerial and administrative services to Idun to assist Idun in the conduct of its business pertaining to the Excluded Assets;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
SERVICES
Section 1.01. Services.
(a) Conatus hereby agrees to provide to Idun the services set forth on Schedule A-1 (the “Services”) unless Idun advises Conatus reasonably in advance of the date that the performance of any of the Services is not needed by Idun.
(b) Conatus shall provide the Services in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with industry practice. Conatus shall have the sole authority to hire and terminate the services of all employees and consultants, as it deems necessary or advisable to perform its obligations under this TSA. Conatus shall have the obligation to pay all salaries and employee benefit expenses to the employees and consultants it engages in connection with this TSA.
Section 1.02. Expenses. Conatus shall be entitled to all reasonable, allocable, and allowable costs, including direct costs, overhead and general and administrative expenses (but without profit or fee) in accordance with its disclosed practice (collectively, the “Service Costs”). As necessary, Conatus shall invoice Idun for the Services at such rates as are agreed upon in advance by the parties from time to time. Properly documented invoices are due and payable within forty-five (45) calendar days of the invoice date. Payment shall be made in immediately available U.S. Dollars via wire transfer or check. A late fee for late payment of an invoice for Service Costs shall be assessed at the amount of one percent (1%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less. Idun shall have the right to audit the books and records of Conatus related to services provided under this TSA, such audit to be limited to verification of invoiced amounts and any necessary adjustments thereto, and performed by Conatus’ independent accounting firm at Idun expense, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice (but no more frequently than annually).
1
Section 1.03. Work Products and Related Expenses. Any data, research, analysis, discoveries, ideas, concepts, designs, devices, drawings, materials, developments, processes, procedures, trade secrets, Proprietary Information, know-how, improvements and work or intellectual property rights (altogether, “Work Product”) that is discovered or made or acquired by or on behalf of Conatus (including its employees and consultants) in connection with the provision of Services shall be the sole property of Idun. Conatus hereby assigns all right, title and interest to any such Work Products (including all rights to xxx for infringement, including past infringement) to Idun. Conatus hereby agrees to sign all necessary papers and do all lawful acts reasonably requisite in connection with the prosecution and assignment of each and every patent application related to any such Work Products, without further compensation, but at the expense of Idun or its successors and assigns.
ARTICLE 2
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 2.01. Nondisclosure. Except as otherwise provided in this TSA, each party (the “Receiving Party”) shall hold in confidence using at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of like importance, but not less than reasonable care, shall not use except for the purposes expressly permitted under this TSA, and shall not disclose to any third party (except as expressly permitted by this TSA) any nonpublic business or technical information that is disclosed to it by the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) orally or in a tangible form and is marked “Confidential,” orally designated as confidential, or due to the circumstances surrounding the disclosure would reasonably be construed as confidential (“Proprietary Information”). All Work Product shall be deemed to be the Proprietary Information of Idun. Proprietary Information of a party shall not include:
(a) Information which at the time of disclosure under this TSA is published or otherwise generally known or available to the public;
(b) Information which, after disclosure by the Disclosing Party under this TSA, is published or becomes generally known or available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party;
(c) Information which the Receiving Party can document by contemporaneous written records was in its possession at the time of disclosure and was not acquired directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party;
(d) Information which was independently developed by the Receiving Party outside of the scope of this TSA and without any use of the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information; or
(e) Information which becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from a source (other than the Disclosing Party) rightfully in possession of the information and under no confidentiality or fiduciary obligation not to make the disclosure.
2
Section 2.02. Exceptions. If the Receiving Party becomes compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction to disclose any Proprietary Information, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If such a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if compliance with the provisions hereof is waived by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information that is legally required and will exercise all reasonable business efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Proprietary Information.
ARTICLE 3
TERM AND TERMINATION
Section 3.01. Term. The initial term of this TSA shall commence as of the Effective Date and unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Article 3, shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2013. This TSA shall automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year unless terminated (i) by either party with ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party, or (ii) earlier pursuant to this Article 3.

Section 3.02. Termination By Either Party.
(a) For Cause.
(i) Breach. In the event of a material breach of this TSA, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to terminate this TSA by written notice to the breaching party, if such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice is given to the breaching party, specifying the breach.

If any event as specified in the previous sentence is not cured, or an acceptable plan for such cure is not proposed, within sixty (60) days after written notice from the unaffected party specifying the nature of the event, the unaffected party shall have the right to terminate this TSA, unless prevented to do so by law, by giving written notice of termination to the affected party.
(b) For Convenience. Idun may terminate this TSA, without cause, upon providing Conatus at least three (3) months prior written notice of its intent to do so.
Section 3.03. Survival.

4
Section 4.05 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid by a court of last resort or by any court or other governmental body from the decision of which an appeal is not taken within the time provided by law, then and in such event, this Agreement will be deemed to have been terminated only as to the portion thereof that relates to the provision invalidated by that decision and only in the relevant jurisdiction, but this Agreement, in all other respects and all other jurisdictions, will remain in force; provided, that if the provision so invalidated is essential to the Agreement as a whole, then the parties will negotiate in good faith to amend the terms hereof as nearly as practical to carry out the original intent of the parties.
Section 4.06 Assignment. Neither this TSA nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other party other than in connection with the sale or transfer by a party of all or substantially all of the assets to which this TSA relates.

Section 4.08 Injunctive Relief. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this TSA, either party’s breach of confidentiality obligations or provisions relating to intellectual property rights will cause irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that the other party will therefore be entitled to seek timely injunctive relief to protect such party’s rights under this TSA, in addition to any and all remedies available at law.
