Third Party Infringement If any patent in the MEGABIOS ------------- ------------------------- Patent Rights in the Field is infringed by a third party, the party to this Agreement first having knowledge of such infringement shall promptly notify the other in writing. The notice shall set forth the facts of that infringement in reasonable detail. MEGABIOS shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement of the MEGABIOS Patent Rights, by counsel of its own choice, and LILLY shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in that action by counsel of its own choice. IF MEGABIOS fails to bring an action or proceeding within a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving written notice from LILLY or otherwise having knowledge of that infringement, LILLY shall have the right to bring and control any such action by counsel of its own choice, and MEGABIOS shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice at its own expense. [ * ] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. If one party brings any such action or proceeding, the second party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff and to give the first party reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit. The costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) of all suits brought by MEGABIOS or LILLY under this Section shall be reimbursed on a pro-rata basis to both parties out of any damages or other monetary awards recovered therein in favor of MEGABIOS and/or LILLY. Any remaining damages shall split [ * ] to the party initiating and prosecuting the action to completion and [ * ] to the other party. No settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section may be entered into without the joint consent of MEGABIOS and LILLY (which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 11.4 shall not apply to the extent it is inconsistent with the License Agreement dated May 9, 1996 between MEGABIOS and UC.

Third Party Infringement Claims If the production, sale or use of the any Licensed Product in or outside the Territory results in a claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement against Licensee or Licensor (or their respective Affiliates, licensees or Sublicensees) (collectively, “Infringement Actions”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto in writing. The Party subject to such Infringement Action shall have the right to direct and control the defense thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that (i) if such Infringement Action involves the Territory, Licensee shall have the right to assume the defense thereof in the Territory and to direct and control the defense thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice, (ii) if such Infringement Action involves Japan, Licensor shall have the right to assume the defense thereof within Japan and to direct and control the defense thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice, (iii) if such Infringement Action involves both the Territory and Japan, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith with respect to their respective defenses of such Infringement Actions, and (iv) in all cases the other Party may participate in the defense and/or settlement thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice. In any event, the Party that is defending the Infringement Action (the “Defending Party”) agrees to keep the other Party hereto reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such Infringement Action and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any such suit or Infringement Action. If Licensee is the Defending Party, Licensee agrees not to settle such Infringement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Infringement Action, in a manner that would adversely affect the Licensed Product or the manufacture, use or sale of the Licensed Product within or outside the Territory, without the prior written consent of Licensor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and similarly if Licensor is the Defending Party, Licensor agrees not to settle such Infringement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Infringement Action, in a manner that would adversely affect the Licensed Product, or the manufacturing, use or sale of the Licensed Product, in the Territory, without the prior written consent of Licensee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Non-Third Party Claims Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
INDEMNITY IN THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDINGS To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually, and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Indemnification in Third Party Proceedings Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding, for any and all expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding.
Infringement Action In the event a Party brings an Infringement action in accordance with this Section 7.3 (the “Controlling Party”), such Controlling Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such action, and the other Party shall cooperate fully with the Controlling Party, including by providing information and materials, at the Controlling Party’s request and expense and if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. The other Party shall cooperate fully, including, if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any Infringement action under this Section 7.3 relating to Joint Patent Rights without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has ever sought or obtained an opinion of counsel regarding any possible infringement, misappropriation, violation or unlawful use of another Person’s Intellectual Property Rights or the validity or enforceability of another Person’s Intellectual Property Rights.
Infringement Claims by Third Parties If the Manufacture, use or Commercialization of a Molecule or Product in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in, or may result in, any claim, suit, or proceeding by a Third Party alleging patent infringement by AbbVie or Galapagos (or their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees), the Party first receiving notice of such claim, suit, or proceeding shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing. AbbVie shall defend and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding at its own expense (except to the extent any such cost or expense is allocable to the Galapagos Territory, in which event such cost or expense, to the extent reasonable and reasonably incurred, shall be reimbursed by Galapagos in accordance with Section 7.9), using counsel of its own choice. Galapagos may participate in any such claim, suit, or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense. Without limitation of the foregoing, if AbbVie finds it necessary or desirable to join Galapagos as a party to any such action, Galapagos shall execute all papers and perform such acts as shall be reasonably required at AbbVie’s expense. Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit, or proceeding. Unless otherwise set forth herein, AbbVie shall have the right to settle such claim, including by entering into a license agreement pursuant to Section 7.6; provided, that AbbVie shall not settle any litigation under this Section 7.4 in a manner that diminishes or has a material adverse effect on the rights or interest of Galapagos, or in a manner that imposes any costs (except as set forth in the immediately following proviso) or liability on, or involves any admission by, Galapagos, without Galapagos’ express written consent; provided, further, that entering into an agreement with such Third Party pursuant to Section 7.6 shall not require the consent of Galapagos. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with copies of all pleadings filed in such action and to allow the other Party reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the claims. AbbVie shall be entitled to deduct […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the reasonable out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and court costs borne by AbbVie (and not reimbursed by Galapagos pursuant to Section 7.9) in defending such claim, suit, or proceeding brought by a Third Party alleging that a Molecule, Product or the Manufacturing Process (which Manufacturing Process AbbVie has not modified in any substantial part pertinent to the asserted claims in said proceeding) infringe one (1) or more Patents controlled by the Third Party. Such deduction shall be applied in a given Calendar Quarter from the sales-based milestones due to Galapagos pursuant to Section 6.4.1, and to the extent not exhausted within an […***…] ([…***…]) month period, may be deducted from royalties due to Galapagos pursuant to Section 6.5. Any recoveries by AbbVie of any sanctions awarded to AbbVie and against a party asserting a claim being defended under this Section 7.4 shall be applied as follows: such recovery shall be applied first to (i) reimburse AbbVie for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs of defending such claim, suit, or proceedings to the extent not deducted from sales-based milestones pursuant to the previous sentence, and (ii) reimburse Galapagos for sales-based milestones deductions pursuant to the previous sentence. The balance of any such recoveries shall be retained or provided to AbbVie and included in calculation of Net Sales for the relevant Product, except to the extent such recovery is attributable to the Galapagos Territory, in which event it shall be retained by or provided to Galapagos. ***Confidential Treatment Requested***
