Prior to commencement of human clinical trials by Licensee, Licensee agrees to obtain and maintain a liability insurance program consistent with sound business practice, including commercial general liability and product liability insurance for Licensed Products utilizing documentation, information and materials, know-how, or the rights granted, transferred, or assigned to PHS by Wyeth under license agreements L-030-1987/1 and L-008-1989/1 as they relate to this Agreement , naming PHS and Wyeth and its affiliates, and their respective employees, students, fellows, agents, consultants, officers and directors as insured parties, sufficient to adequately provide such indemnification. Wyeth shall be given the right to enforce the indemnification and insurance rights and shall be named as a third party beneficiary to this agreement for such purpose. PHS disclaims any and all liability for the failure of Licensee , its sublicensees or assigns or any other party to satisfy their obligation to Wyeth. However, in the event of any failure of any such party to indemnify or provide or maintain insurance, in addition to any other remedies it may have against such party, Wyeth retains its rights to terminate the licenses granted to PHS in license agreements L-030-1987/1 and L-008-1989/1 as they relate to this Agreement.
