Any payments made by a Party to settle any such claim or action shall be at its own costs and expense, except in the event such payment was made with the prior written consent of an indemnifying Party, in which case such payment shall be subject to the obligations of the Parties as set forth in Sections 11.1 (Indemnification by Achaogen), 11.2 (Indemnification by Microgenics), and 11.3 (Conditions to Indemnification). 11.5 Limitation of Liability.

  Clause
  H.19: Information on Compliance With Animal Care Requirements
  Registration with the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) is required to use regulated species of animals for biomedical purposes. USDA is responsible for the enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2131 et. seq), http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/legislat/awa.htm
  The Public Health Service (PHS) Policy is administered by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/olaw/olaw.htm. An essential requirement of the PHS Policy, http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/olaw/references/phspol.htm is that every institution using live vertebrate animals must obtain an approved assurance from OLAW before they can receive funding from any component of the U.S. Public Health Service.
  The PHS Policy requires that Assured institutions base their programs of animal care and use on the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/labrats/ and that they comply with the regulations (9 C.F.R., subchapter A) http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/legislat/usdaleg1.htm issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the Animal Welfare Act. The Guide may differ from USDA regulations in some respects. Compliance with USDA regulations is an absolute requirement of this Policy.
  The Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC) http://www.aaalac.org is a professional organization that inspects and evaluates programs of animal care institutions at their request. Those that meet the high standards are given accredited status. As of the 2002 revision of the PHS policy, the only accrediting body recognized by PHS is the AAALAC. While AAALAC Accreditation is not required to conduct biomedical research, it is highly desirable. AAALAC uses the Guide as their primary evaluation tool. They also use the Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Agricultural Research and Teaching. It is published by the American Science Societies. http://www.fass.org.

  H.20: Requirements for Adequate Assurance of Protection of Vertebrate Animal Subjects
  The PHYS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals requires that applicant organizations proposing to use vertebrate animals file a written Animal Welfare Assurance with the Office for Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW), establishing appropriate policies and procedures to ensure the humane care and use of live vertebrate animals involved in research activities supported by the PHS. The PHS Policy stipulates that an applicant organization, whether domestic or foreign, bears responsibility for the humane care and use of animals in PHS-supported research activities. Also the PHS policy defines "animal" as "any live, vertebrate animal used, or intended for use, in research, research training, experimentation, biological testing or for related purposes." This policy implements and supplements the U.S. Government Principles for the Utilization and Care of Vertebrate Animals Used in Testing, Research, and Training, and requires that institutions use the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals as a basis for developing and implementing an institutional animal care use program. This Policy does not affect applicable State or local laws or regulations that impose more stringent standards for the care and use of laboratory animals. All institutions are required to comply, as applicable, with the Animal Welfare Act, as amended and other Federal statutes and regulations relating to animals. These documents are available from the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, (301) 496-7163. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/olaw.htm.
  No PHYS supported work or research involving vertebrate animals will be conducted by an organization, unless that organization is operating in accordance with an approved Animal Welfare Assurance and provides verification that the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) has reviewed and approved the proposed activity in accordance with the PHS policy. Applications may be referred by the PHS back to the institution for further review in the case of an apparent or potential violations of the PHS policy. No award to an individual will be made unless that individual is affiliated with an assured organization that accepts responsibility for compliance with the PHS Policy. Foreign applicant organizations applying for PHS awards for activities involving vertebrate animals are required to comply with PHS Policy or provide evidence that acceptable standards for the humane care and use of animals will be met. Foreign applicant organizations are not required to submit IACUC approval, but should provide information that is satisfactory to the Government to provide assurances for the humane care of such animals.
  H.21: Approval of Required Assurance by OLAW
  Under governing regulations, federal funds which are administered by DHHS, Office of Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) shall not be expended by the contractor for research involving live vertebrate animals, nor shall live vertebrate animals be involved in research activities by Company under this award unless a satisfactory assurance of compliance with 7 U.S.C. 2316 and 9 CFR Sections 2.25-2.28 is submitted within 30 days of the date of this award and approved by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW). Each performance site (if any) must also assure compliance, with the following restriction: Only activities which do not directly involve live vertebrate animals (i.e., are clearly severable and independent from those activities) may be conducted by the contractor or individual performance sites pending OLAW approval of their respective assurance of compliance.

  For prime or subcontract awards to domestic institutions that possess, use, and/or transfer Select Agents under this contract, the institution must comply with the provisions of 42 C.F.R. part 73, 7 C.F.R. part 331, and/or 9 C.F.R. part 121 ( http://www.aphis.usda.gov/programs/ag_selectagent/FinalRule3-18-05.pdf ) as required, before using NIH funds for work involving a Select Agent or Toxin. No government funds can be used for research involving a Select Agent or Toxin at a domestic institution without a valid registration certificate.
  For prime or subcontract awards to foreign institutions that possess, use, and/or transfer a Select Agent or Toxin, before using NIH funds for any work directly involving a Select Agent or Toxin, the foreign institution must provide information satisfactory to the government that safety, security, and training standards equivalent to those described in 42 C.F.R. part 73, 7 C.F.R. part 331, and/or 9 C.F.R. part 121 are in place and will be administered on behalf of all Select Agent or Toxin work supported by these funds. The process for making this determination includes inspection of the foreign laboratory facility by a government representative. During this inspection, the foreign institution must provide the following information: concise summaries of safety, security, and training plans; names of individuals at the foreign institution who will have access to the Select Agents and procedures for ensuring that only approved and appropriate individuals, in accordance with institution procedures, will have access to the Select Agents under the contract; and copies of or links to any applicable laws, regulations, policies, and procedures applicable to that institution for the safe and secure possession, use, and/or transfer of select agents. No funds can be used for work involving a Select Agent or Toxin at a foreign institution without written approval from Achaogen.
