Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Intellectual Property Licenses Except as set forth in Section 4.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company possesses adequate Intellectual Property to continue to conduct its business as heretofore conducted by it or as projected to be conducted in the Operating Plan, and all Intellectual Property existing on the date hereof, together with in the case of patents and Trademarks, the date of issuance thereof, is listed in Section 4.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter. With respect to Intellectual Property of the Company unless such Intellectual Property has become obsolete or is no longer used or useful in the conduct of the business of the Company:
(a) it is valid and enforceable, is subsisting, and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part;
(b) the Company has made all necessary filings and recordations to protect its interest therein, including, without limitation, recordations of all of its interest in its Patent Property and Trademark Property in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and, to the extent necessary for the conduct of the Company's business, in corresponding offices throughout the world;
(c) except as set forth in Section 4.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company is the exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property owned by it and no claim has been made that the use of any of its owned Intellectual Property does or may violate the asserted rights of any third party; and
(d) the Company has performed, and the Company will continue to perform, all acts, and the Company has paid and will continue to pay, all required fees and taxes, to maintain each and every item of such Intellectual Property in full force and effect throughout the world, as applicable. The Company owns directly or is entitled to use, by license or otherwise, all patents, Trademarks, copyrights, mask works, licenses, technology, know-how, processes and rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or of importance to the conduct of the Company's business.
Third Party Licenses If (a) in the opinion of outside patent counsel to Licensee, Licensee, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, cannot Exploit a Licensed Product in a country in the Territory without infringing one or more Patents that have issued to a Third Party in such country, or (b) as a result of any claim made against a Party, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, alleging that the Exploitation of a Licensed Product infringes or misappropriates any Patent or any other intellectual property right of a Third Party in a country in the Territory, a judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is taken within the time permitted for appeal, such that Licensee cannot Exploit such Licensed Product in such country without infringing the Patent or other proprietary rights of such Third Party, then, in either case, Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation to negotiate and to obtain a license from such Third Party as necessary for the Exploitation of any Licensed Product hereunder in such country; provided, however, that NovaDel shall have the sole right to seek any such license with respect to the Licensed Process and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a license in its own name from such Third Party in such country, under which NovaDel shall, to the extent permissible under such license, grant a sublicense to Licensee as necessary for Licensee, and any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees, to Exploit the Licensed Product as provided hereunder in such country. Licensee shall be solely responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all royalty and other obligations with respect to the Exploitation of the Licensed Product; provided, however, that Licensee shall have the right to credit fifty percent (50%) any royalties paid by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees under such license with respect to such country against the royalty payments to be paid by Licensee to NovaDel with respect to the sale of the Licensed Product(s) under Section 4.1; provided, however, that no royalty payment when due, regardless of the amount or number of credits available to Licensee in accordance with this Agreement, shall be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the amounts otherwise owed pursuant to Section 4.1 in any calendar quarter. Credits not exhausted in any calendar quarter may be carried into future calendar quarters.
