Common use of Enforcement by EXEL Clause in Contracts

Enforcement by EXEL. If PDL elects not to bring any action for infringement or to defend any proceeding described in Section 10.4(c)(i) and so notifies EXEL, then EXEL may bring such action or defend such proceeding at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. PDL will reasonably assist EXEL in any action or proceeding being prosecuted or defended by EXEL, if so requested by EXEL or required by law [ * ]. PDL shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense. No settlement of any such action or defense which restricts the scope or affects the enforceability of a Joint Patent that covers a Co-Funded Product or PDL Product may be entered into by EXEL without the prior consent of PDL, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
