Claimed Infringement Each Party will promptly notify the other Party if a Third Party brings any Action alleging patent infringement by Lian or Landos or any of their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product or Joint Patent Rights (any such Action, an “Infringement Claim”) in the Territory. Lian will have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense and response to any such Infringement Claim in the Territory with respect to Lian’s activities, at Lian’s sole cost and expense, and Landos will have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such Infringement Claim in the Territory by counsel of its own choice. Landos will have the sole right, but not the obligation, to control the defense and response to any such Infringement Claim with respect to Landos’ activities, including any such Infringement Claim in the Territory or outside of the Territory. Upon the request of the Party controlling the response to the Infringement Claim, the other Party will reasonably cooperate with the controlling Party in the reasonable defense of such Infringement Claim. The other Party will have the right to consult with the controlling Party concerning any Infringement Claim and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in any associated litigation. If the Infringement Claim is brought against both Parties, then each Party will have the right to defend against the Infringement Claim. The Party defending an Infringement Claim under this Section 7.4 (Claimed Infringement) will (a) consult with the other Party as to the strategy for the prosecution of such defense, (b) consider in good faith any comments from the other Party with respect thereto and (c) keep the other Party reasonably informed of any material steps taken and provide copies of all material documents filed, in connection with such defense. The Party controlling the defense against an Infringement Claim will have the right to settle such Infringement Claim on terms deemed reasonably appropriate by such Party, provided, that, neither Party will have the right to settle any Infringement Claim under this Section 7.4 (Claimed Infringement) in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party under this Agreement without the consent of such other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
Defense of Infringement Claims In the event Licensee or Licensor becomes aware that Licensee’s or any of its Affiliates’ or any Sublicensees’ practice of the Licensed Patents is the subject of a claim for patent infringement by a Third Party, that Party shall promptly notify the other, and the Parties shall consider the claim and the most appropriate action to take. Licensee shall cause each of its Affiliates and each Sublicensee to notify Licensee promptly in the event such entity becomes aware that its practice of the Licensed Patents is the subject of a claim of patent infringement by another. To the extent Licensor takes any action, Licensor (or the ReGenX Licensors) shall have the right to require Licensee’s reasonable cooperation in any such suit, upon written notice to Licensee; and Licensee shall have the obligation to participate upon Licensor’s request, in which event, Licensor shall bear the cost of Licensee’s participation. Without Licensor’s prior written permission, Licensee must not settle or compromise any such suit in a manner that imposes any material obligations or restrictions on Licensor or the ReGenX Licensors or grants any rights to the Licensed Patents other than rights that Licensee has the right to grant under this Agreement.

Third Party Infringement Claims If a Third Party Infringement Claim occurs in the Territory with respect to one or more elements of the RLS Licensed Technical Information or RLS Licensed Software, or in Teletrac's opinion is likely to occur, Teletrac will use reasonable commercial efforts, at its option and expense, either to challenge such Third Party Infringement Claim or otherwise procure for Licensee the right to continue to use, maintain and provide support for the Radio Location System, or to replace or modify the alleged infringing element so that such element becomes non-infringing, provided that such replacement or modification does not materially affect performance of the Radio Location System. If Teletrac has spent, or anticipates that it will be required to spend, more than U.S. $100,000 for such efforts, then Teletrac may give Licensee a ninety (90) day option to pursue such efforts on its own and at its own expense. If Licensee elects to pursue such efforts on its own, then Licensee may deduct from the Annual Royalty Payments due to Teletrac in the future, the reasonable expenses Licensee has incurred in obtaining non-infringing elements, up to a maximum amount of U.S.$250,000. If Licensee has not elected to pursue such efforts on its own within such ninety (90) day option period, then Licensee must notify Teletrac in writing either (i) that this License Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such Third Party Infringement Claim and without any reduction in the Annual Royalty Payment, or (ii) that Licensee elects to terminate this License Agreement due to such Third Party Infringement Claim, which shall be deemed to be a termination under Section 7.1. If the use of any RLS Licensed Software or RLS Licensed Technical Information is enjoined and the foregoing remedies cannot reasonably be accomplished, or if Licensee elects to continue this License Agreement but fails to procure the right to use the infringing element or to replace or modify the infringing element so that it becomes non-infringing, then Teletrac may require the return of the infringing RLS Licensed Software or RLS Licensed Technical Information, and Licensee's right to use such RLS Licensed Software or RLS Licensed Technical Information shall thereupon terminate. In no event shall Teletrac have any obligation to repay or refund any amounts previously paid to it by Licensee.
Third Party Claims If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure.

Third Party Infringement In the event there is infringement by a third party of any Biochrom patent for the Product (“Third Party Infringement”) and GE Healthcare becomes aware of such infringement, GE Healthcare may give Biochrom written notice to that effect, including with such written notice evidence establishing a prima facie case of infringement by such third party. Biochrom shall bear all expenses of any suit brought by it based upon such infringement and shall retain all damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit. If, after the expiration of ninety (90) days from the date of such notice, Biochrom has not obtained a discontinuance of such infringement or brought suit against the third party infringer, then the parties shall appoint by mutual agreement an attorney with at least 15 years experience in litigating patent infringement lawsuits in the United States, who is a partner at a law firm with a nationally recognized intellectual property practice and who has no prior relationship with either party (“Independent Patent Counsel”). Such Independent Patent Counsel shall evaluate the identified Third Party Infringement and advise the parties in writing by not later than 60 days after his or her appointment whether he or she believes there is a reasonable likelihood of success in pursuing a claim for the Third Party Infringement. The cost of Independent Patent Counsel shall be shared equally by the parties. If Independent Patent Counsel determines that there is a reasonable likelihood of success and by the 30th day after such advice Biochrom has still not obtained a discontinuance of such infringement or brought suit against the third party infringer, then GE Healthcare shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such infringer. Biochrom will cooperate with GE Healthcare in any such suit for infringement brought by GE Healthcare against such third party, and shall have the right to consult with GE Healthcare and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. GE Healthcare shall bear all expenses of such suit, and shall retain any damages or other monies awarded or received in consequence of such litigation.
