hold harmless DELTAGEN and its directors, officers, employees and agents from
and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages or expenses (collectively,
"Liabilities") that they may suffer as a result of any claims, demands, actions
or other proceedings (collectively, "Claims") made or instituted by any third
party and arising out of or relating to (a) a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of GLAXO under this Agreement or (b) GLAXO's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, except in each case to the extent such
Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
DELTAGEN.
12.2 DELTAGEN'S INDEMNIFICATION. DELTAGEN shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless GLAXO and its directors, officers, employees and agents from
and against any and all Liabilities that they may suffer as a result of any

(a) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of

12
DELTAGEN under this Agreement or (b) DELTAGEN's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, except in each case to the extent such Liabilities resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of GLAXO.
12.3 PROCEDURE. A Party (the "Indemnified Party") which intends to
claim indemnification under this Article 12, shall promptly notify the other
Party (the "Indemnifying Party") of any Claim with respect to which the
Indemnified Party intends to claim such indemnification. The Indemnifying Party
shall have the right to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel selected
by the Indemnifying Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel and the fees and expenses shall be paid
by the Indemnifying Party only 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 Article 12 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Liability if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. The failure of the
Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of a potential Claim
shall not constitute a waiver of, or result in the loss of, such Party's right
to indemnification under this Section 12.3, except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party's rights and/or its ability to defend such Claim is
prejudiced by the Indemnified Party's failure to notify the Indemnifying Party
of such Claim within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action. The
Indemnifying Party may not settle the action or otherwise consent to an adverse
judgment in such action that diminishes the rights or interests of the
Indemnified Party without the express written consent of the Indemnified Party,
which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. The Indemnified Party, its
employees and agents, shall cooperate fully with the Indemnified Party and its
legal representatives in the investigation of any Claim covered by this
indemnification.
13. TRADEMARKS AND PUBLICITY. Except as set forth in Section 5.3 above,
each Party agrees not to identify the other Party or any Affiliate of the other
Party in any promotion advertising or other promotion materials to be
disseminated to the public, or to use any trademark, service xxxx, trade name or
symbol of the other Party or any Affiliate of the other Party without the
express written consent of the other Party.
14. DELAYS OR FORCE MAJEURE.
14.1 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party shall be liable for the failure
or delay to perform its obligations under this Agreement or a Project if such
failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond such Party's
reasonable control, including but not limited to strikes or other labor
disturbances, embargoes, acts of God, omissions or delays in acting by any
governmental authority or the other party, lockouts, riots, wars, fires, floods,
earthquakes or storms. A Party claiming a right to excused performance under
this Section 14.1 shall immediately notify the other Party in writing of the
extent of its inability to perform, which notice shall specify the occurrence
beyond its reasonable control that prevents such performance, and such Party
shall exert reasonable efforts to eliminate, cure and overcome any such causes
and to promptly resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
14.2 DELAY. If GLAXO delays in performing its obligations under a
Project for any
