2.1.3Β Β Β Β Prothena Activities in Support of Licensed Program. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1.1, as and to the extent requested by Celgene in writing, Prothena shall conduct the following activities as reasonably directed by Celgene:
(a)Β Β Β Β Ongoing Clinical Trials.

9.2Β Β Β Β Indemnification by Xxxxxxxx. Prothena shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Celgene, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the βCelgene Indemniteesβ), from and against any and all Third Party Damages to the extent arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, any Third Party Claim based upon:

Indemniteeβs rights to indemnification under Section 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable, except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices the Indemnitorβs ability to defend against the relevant claims).

During the Term and for a period of [***] years thereafter, each Party shall maintain, at its cost, a program of insurance and/or self-insurance against liability and other risks associated with its activities and obligations under this Agreement (including, with respect to its Clinical Trials), and its indemnification obligations hereunder, in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and on such terms as are customary for such Party for the activities to be conducted by it under this Agreement. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit on either Partyβs liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 9, or otherwise.

(a)Β Β Β Β on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, this Agreement shall expire on the date of the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to such Licensed Product in such country; and
(b)Β Β Β Β in its entirety upon the expiration of all applicable Royalty Terms under this Agreement with respect to all Licensed Products in all countries in the Territory.
10.1.2Β Β Β Β Effect of Expiration. After the expiration of the Term pursuant to Section 10.1.1 above, the following terms shall apply:

For clarity, but subject to Section 10.2.2, the Cure Period for any allegation made as to a material breach under this Agreement will run from the date that written notice was first provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party. Any such termination of this Agreement under this Section 10.2.1 shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the breaching Party has cured such breach prior to the expiration of such Cure Period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the Cure Period, then such Cure Period shall be extended for an additional [***] days so long as the breaching Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such material breach during such extension period. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.2.1 shall terminate the Master Collaboration Agreement solely with respect to the Licensed Program but shall not terminate the Master Collaboration Agreement with respect to any other Programs or any U.S. License Agreement or other Global License Agreement for any other Program.

10.4Β Β Β Β Termination for Bankruptcy. If either Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of, or an arrangement or composition generally with, its creditors, appoints or suffers appointment of an examiner or of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all of its property, passes a resolution for its winding up or files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or law or has any such petition filed against it which is not dismissed, discharged, bonded or stayed within [***] days after the filing thereof (each, an βInsolvency Eventβ), the other Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, effective immediately upon written notice to such Party, provided that, in connection therewith, the provisions of Section 6.5 shall apply.

If a Sublicensee of Celgene with respect to any Prothena IP challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Patent included in such Prothena IP under which such Sublicensee is sublicensed, in each case through a formal proceeding (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law, request or order) then Celgene shall, upon written notice from Prothena, terminate such sublicense.
10.6Β Β Β Β Effects of Expiration or Termination; Additional Remedies.
