BBIL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Ocugen, its Affiliates, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Ocugen Indemnitees”), against all Losses incurred by or imposed upon the Ocugen Indemnitees, or any of them, including as a direct result of Claims of third parties, including personal injury and product liability claims (collectively, “Ocugen Indemnity Claims”), to the extent arising out of: (a) any breach of this Agreement by BBIL or any of its Affiliates or agents, including its representations, warranties and covenants; or (b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of or fraud by any BBIL Indemnitee or agent of BBIL, excluding any BBIL Indemnity Claim or Losses for which Ocugen has an obligation to indemnify BBIL Indemnitees pursuant to Section 13.1, as to which Claims or Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for such Losses.
13.3. Conditions to Indemnification. A Person seeking indemnification under this Article XIII (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of a BBIL Indemnity Claim or an Ocugen Indemnity Claim, as applicable (each, an “Indemnity Claim”) shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnity Claim to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, that the Indemnifying Party is not contesting its obligation under this Article XIII, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to control the investigation, defense and settlement of such Indemnity Claim; and further provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall (a) act reasonably and in good faith with respect to all matters relating to the settlement or disposition of such Indemnity Claim as the settlement or disposition relates to such Indemnified Party and (b) not settle or otherwise resolve such Indemnity Claim without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in its investigation, defense and settlement of any such Indemnity Claim in all reasonable respects and shall have the right to be present in person or through counsel at all legal proceedings with respect to such Indemnity Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Indemnity Claim as provided above, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement with respect to such Indemnity Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided in this Article XIII. The Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any settlement of Indemnity Claims entered into by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13.4 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER SECTIONS 13.1 OR 13.2, FOR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR A PARTY’S MATERIAL BREACH OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OBLIGATIONS IN Article IX OR THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 11.1.

13.6. Maximum Liability. Except to the extent of a Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of this Agreement, or to the extent any BBIL Indemnity Claim or Losses in respect of a BBIL Indemnity Claim relates to or arises from or is in any way connected to the Ocugen Territory ([***]), the maximum aggregate liability of either Party in respect of any Claim, including an Indemnity Claim, under this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to [***] preceding the date on which the action or omission alleged to have caused such Claim or Indemnity Claim occurred.
13.7. Otherwise Compensated. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment by way of Losses in respect of a Claim under this Agreement (“Damages Payment”) and the Indemnified Party subsequently receives any monetary payment (exclusive of payments from the Indemnifying Party), which payment compensates the Indemnified Party for the same Loss as the Damages Payment, the Indemnified Party shall, once it has received such monetary payment, forthwith repay (net of any taxes actually paid or withheld with respect thereto) to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the amount (if any) by which the amount of the Damages Payment, aggregated with the amount of such monetary payment, exceeds the total amount of the Losses suffered by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim.
13.8. No Double Recovery. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once for the same loss, damage, deficiency or breach.
13.9. Mitigation Not Affected. Both Parties shall procure that commercially reasonable steps are taken and commercially reasonable assistance is given to avoid or mitigate any Losses which, in the absence of mitigation, might give rise to a liability in respect of any Claim.

BBIL shall not be liable for any Claim unless a notice of the Claim is given by Ocugen to BBIL specifying the matters set out in Section 13.11 and in the case of any Claims of third parties, including personal injury and product liability claims, within twelve (12) months from the expiry date of the shelf life of the Clinical Trial Materials or the Product supplied by BBIL under the Development Supply Agreement or Commercial Supply Agreement specified in Section 7.1 and 7.2, as the case may be.
13.11. Notification of Claims.
