Infringement of Third Party Patents (a) If a third party asserts that a patent or other proprietary right owned by it is infringed by the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of a Licensed Product in the Field and in the Territory and such alleged infringement arises in whole or in part from Alcon's use of the Pharmacyclics Technology (a "Claim"), the Party against whom such a Claim was asserted shall immediately provide the other Party notice of such Claim and the related facts in reasonable detail. Unless it is mutually agreed that the Parties should proceed jointly in defending such an action, the Party sued shall defend such action. The other Party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall have the right to be represented separately by counsel of its own choice, at its own expense. The entity (whether Pharmacyclics or Alcon) that controls the defense of such a Claim with respect to the Licensed Product in the Field and in the Territory shall also have the right to control settlement of such Claim; provided, however, that no settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the other Party. To the extent that any of the costs set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence are attributable to infringement arising from Alcon's use of the Pharmacyclics Technology, Alcon shall have the right to deduct from and offset against royalties otherwise payable to Pharmacyclics under Section 4.4(a), the following: (i) all litigation costs related to such Claim; (ii) any money damages paid by Alcon or its Affiliates pursuant to any judgment or settlement resulting from such Claim; and (iii) any royalty that Alcon and/or its Affiliates and sublicensees are required to pay to a third party in settlement of such Claim in order to continue to exercise Alcon's license rights as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall royalties owed Pharmacyclics under Section 4.4(a) be reduced by more than (*) in any given royalty period.
Joint Patent Rights If not already established under the Research Collaboration Agreement, prior to either Party filing any Patent Right disclosing Joint Program Technology or Joint TAP Platform Improvements, the Parties shall establish a patent committee (the “Patent Committee”) comprised of at least one (1) representative of each Party for the purpose of facilitating the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of Joint Patent Rights. As agreed upon by the Parties, meetings of the Patent Committee may be face-to-face or may be conducted by teleconferences or videoconferences, from time to time as needed. The Patent Committee will be the forum through which the Parties coordinate their respective obligations to each other described in Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 hereof and in this Section. In the event the Parties conceive or generate any Joint Program [***] Certain information contained herein has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. Confidential Treatment Requested by CytomX Therapeutics, Inc. Technology or Joint TAP Platform Improvements, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss and determine, based on mutual consent, whether to seek patent protection thereon, which Party will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents and how to pay for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents. It is presumed that CytomX will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Program Technology or Joint Unconjugated Probody Platform Improvements, and that ImmunoGen will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint TAP Platform Improvements or Joint Conjugation Probody Platform Improvements. Neither Party will file any Joint Patent Right without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Party controlling filing and prosecution of any such Joint Patent Right (a) shall keep the other Party informed regarding each Patent Right, (b) shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right and (c) shall not unreasonably refuse to incorporate any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to such filing, prosecution or maintenance.

Joint Patents Neither Party shall have any obligation to file or prosecute any Joint Patent. To the extent a Party wishes to prosecute a Joint Patent, the Parties will mutually agree upon which Party will have the first right to prosecute such Joint Patent, based on the contribution of each Party to such invention and each Party’s potential interest in products based upon such invention. If the Party having such first right does not wish to prosecute such Joint Patent, it shall inform the other Party promptly, but in any event no later than [***] after the Parties have agreed upon which Party had the first right to prosecute such Joint Patent.
