11. INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Indemnification by AntriaBio. AntriaBio shall defend, indemnify and hold XOMA and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from any claims, demands, actions and other proceedings by any Third Party to the extent resulting from (a) AntriaBio’s or its Affiliates’ or sublicensees’ use of the Licensed Technology or negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, (b) AntriaBio’s breach of this Agreement, or (c) AntriaBio’s breach of the representations contained in Section 7.1, except in each case to the extent such Losses are subject to XOMA’s indemnification obligations under Section 11.2.
11.2 Indemnification by XOMA. XOMA shall defend, indemnify and hold AntriaBio and its and its’ Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all Losses to the extent resulting from any claims, demands, actions and other proceedings by any Third Party to the extent resulting (a) XOMA’s or its Affiliates’ negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, (b) XOMA’s breach of this Agreement, or (c) XOMA’S breach of the representations contained in Section 7.1 and 7.2, except in each case to the extent such Losses are subject to AntriaBio’s indemnification obligations under Section 11.1.
11.3 Procedure. The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) promptly shall notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent the Indemnifying Party so desires jointly with any other indemnitor similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnified Party, if representation of the Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. The indemnity obligations under this Section 11 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the prior express written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure to deliver notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after notice of any such claim or demand, or the commencement of any such action or other proceeding, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, shall relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 11 with respect thereto, but the omission so to deliver notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party other than under this Section 11. The Indemnifying Party may not settle or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, that diminishes the rights or interests of, or places any obligations upon, the Indemnified Party without the prior express written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding covered by this Section 11.

THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 11.4 SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO (I) ANY BREACH OF SECTION 8 OR (II) THE INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF A PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.4 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF A PARTY UNDER THIS SECTION 11 WITH RESPECT TO ANY DAMAGES OWED OR PAID TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD PARTY CLAIM.

Such policies will be written by insurance companies with an A.M. Best's rating of A:VIII or higher (or if such policies are not subject to the Best rating, then by carriers who are reasonably acceptable to XOMA).

12.11 Waivers. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by the other Party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
12.13 Enforcement. Each Party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed by the Parties in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right each party may have, each Party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.
