(c) AbbVie shall not be responsible for: (i) data contained in a CRF which is intentionally misleading
or inaccurate; or (ii) work performed in violation of the Protocol (provided, however, that actions
(including deviations from the Protocol) taken by Institution or Institution Personnel that are based
on generally accepted standards of clinical research and medical practice, necessary to treat a
condition that poses an immediate risk to the safety, life or well-being of a Study subject shall not,
in and of themselves, constitute a violation of the Protocol or this Agreement). If AbbVie has
previously paid for such work, the payment shall be deducted from the final payment due under
the Statement of Work (the “Final Payment”).
(d) In the event of any payment dispute under a Statement of Work, (i) AbbVie shall pay undisputed
amounts upon receipt of an invoice therefor, and (ii) the parties shall cooperate in good faith to
resolve such dispute in a timely manner. Following resolution of such dispute, Institution shall re-
invoice AbbVie and AbbVie shall pay for the amounts the parties mutually agree are due. In no
event may Institution or Institution Personnel withhold Study data or Records that are otherwise
required to be submitted to AbbVie hereunder, pending resolution of a payment dispute.
(e) AbbVie will make the Final Payment due under a Statement of Work and send a financial
reconciliation to Institution after completion of the performance of all work contemplated
thereunder and the delivery to AbbVie of all CRFs and all other items described in Section 6(a). If
AbbVie has paid Institution less than Institution is entitled at the time of financial reconciliation,
AbbVie shall pay the remaining amount due as part of the Final Payment. Any overpayment due
AbbVie at the time of final reconciliation, shall be made payable to AbbVie Inc. within ninety (90)
days of discovery of such overpayment along with an explanation of such overpayment, to the
AbbVie Study Contact (as defined below) set forth in the Statement of Work.
(f) Upon written notice to Institution, AbbVie may delegate certain payment obligations under a
Statement of Work to a contract research organization (“CRO”). In such event, Institution agrees
that as to any payments delegated by AbbVie to such CRO, Institution shall first seek redress
from the CRO for compensation. If after seeking redress from the CRO for such payments
Institution is not paid the amounts due under this Section 7, then AbbVie shall pay undisputed
amounts. Additionally, for any Study in which AbbVie has delegated certain Study obligations to a
CRO, AbbVie shall endeavor to require that its CROs either (a) use this Agreement or (b)
conform its clinical study template to the substantive provisions from this Agreement.

each case such party shall, to the extent practicable, give the other party written notice as soon
as reasonably possible in order to allow the affected party to take whatever action it deems
necessary to protect its Confidential Information. In the event that no protective order or other
remedy is obtained, or either party waives compliance with the terms of this Section 8, a
disclosing party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which it is legally
required to disclose. In addition, each party will permit the affected party to attempt to limit such
disclosure by appropriate legal means.
(g) Neither party will disclose to the other party any information which is confidential or proprietary to
a third party unless such party has first obtained the prior written approval of both such third party
and the other party.
(h) Within forty-five (45) days following completion or termination of the applicable Statement of
Work, each party will return or destroy all tangible materials that contain the other party’s
Confidential Information, provided, however, that each party will be permitted to retain one (1)
archival copy of the other’s party’s Confidential Information solely as required for regulatory, legal,
or insurance purposes or as permitted by this Agreement.

generated or developed by Institution or Institution Personnel that is made from use of the Study
Materials provided hereunder or made in the conduct of the Study (collectively, “Intellectual
Property”) shall be promptly disclosed to AbbVie, and Institution hereby assigns to AbbVie all of

on the Effective Date and shall continue for five (5) years following the Effective Date (“Term”).
(b) This Agreement may be terminated:
(i) by either AbbVie or Institution upon written notice to the other party if the other party has
breached a material term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15)

judgment, believes an adverse safety concern with respect to Study Product makes
continued testing unadvisable, provided that if Institution terminates for this reason, it shall be
after the Suspension Period (defined below) in accordance with Section 14(d).
(ii) by AbbVie (A) without cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Institution; or (B) as
otherwise permitted in the Statement of Work.
(d) In the event Institution or Principal Investigator have concerns about the health, safety and
welfare of the Study subject(s), Institution shall give prompt notice to AbbVie of such concerns,
and may suspend enrollment of Study subjects for a period not to exceed thirty (30) calendar
days (“Suspension Period”). During such Suspension Period, the parties shall evaluate the
concerns raised by Institution or Principal Investigator to determine whether the Statement of
Work should be terminated. In any event, Institution and Principal Investigator shall continue

monitoring and follow-up in strict adherence to the Protocol for currently enrolled Study subjects
during the Suspension Period. After the Suspension Period and following written notice including
a detailed written explanation, to AbbVie, Institution may terminate a Statement of Work if Study
subject health, safety, and welfare remain a concern to Institution of such magnitude to support
such termination.
(e) Termination or expiration of this Agreement or Statement of Work shall not affect any rights or
obligations which have accrued prior thereto or any other rights or remedies provided at law or
equity which either party may otherwise have. If the Study Term of a Statement of Work extends
beyond the termination or expiration date of this Agreement, the applicable terms and conditions

Work’s termination or expiration date. In the event of premature termination of a Statement of
Work, Institution shall (i) appropriately withdraw and discontinue all then-enrolled subjects if
medically permissible (ii) complete the Study for then-enrolled Study subjects where required by
accepted medical practice, or (iii) reasonably cooperate with AbbVie to arrange for then-enrolled
Study subjects to enroll at an alternative Study site.
15. Subject Injury; Indemnification.
(a) If under a Study any injury or illness occurs to a Study subject as a result of (i) the administration
of the Study Materials or (ii) the performance of Protocol- mandated procedures on Study
subjects that such Study subjects would not have received but for their participation in the Study
(“Procedures”) in each case in accordance with the Protocol (“Study Injury”), AbbVie agrees to
pay all reasonable medical expenses necessary to treat such Study Injury, provided that such
Study Injury is not due to the natural progression of any pre-existing disease or any underlying
illness. Institution shall not submit claims for such medical expenses for a Study Injury paid by
AbbVie to a third party payor.
(b) AbbVie shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Institution, System, their Regents, officers,
agents employees, Institution Personnel and Institution’s officers, trustees, and IRB members
(“Indemnitees”) in the conduct of a Study, for any liability, loss, and expense resulting from
judgments or claims against them (collectively, “Losses”) as a result of any claim or lawsuit made
by a third party as a result of (i) a Study Injury; (ii) AbbVie’s or its representatives negligent acts
or omissions, recklessness, or intentional misconduct during and/or in connection with the Study;
(iii) AbbVie’s use of the Study data and results (including Records); or (iv) AbbVie’s breach of any
provision of this Agreement. AbbVie’s indemnification obligation applies only if (A) Study
Materials are administered by Institution Personnel and Procedures are performed during the
Study in accordance with the Protocol (provided, however, that actions (including deviations from
the Protocol) taken by Institution or Institution Personnel that are based on generally accepted
standards of clinical research and medical practice, necessary to treat a condition that poses an
immediate risk to the safety, life or well-being of a Study subject shall not, in and of themselves,
constitute a violation of the Protocol), with accepted medical practice, and with any other
reasonable written instructions furnished by AbbVie, and (B) Study data and results
communicated to AbbVie by Institution Personnel are not intentionally misleading or, inaccurate.
(c) The foregoing agreement to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Indemnitees is conditioned
upon the following obligations of Indemnitees to:
(i) advise AbbVie of any claim or lawsuit, in writing addressed to AbbVie Inc., Attention: Risk
Management, Dept. 317, Bldg. AP34, 1 N. Waukegan Road, North Chicago, Illinois 60064-

prejudiced, provided, however, the failure to promptly notify AbbVie shall not relieve AbbVie
of its indemnification obligations unless the AbbVie is materially adversely affected by such
failure;

taken by Institution or Institution Personnel that are based on generally accepted standards of
clinical research and medical practice, necessary to treat a condition that poses an immediate
risk to the safety, life or well-being of a Study subject shall not, in and of themselves, constitute a
