• Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions In the event that a Third Party or Sublicensee asserts, as a defense or as a counterclaim in any infringement action under Section 8.4.1, that any Ambit Licensed Patent or Program Patent is invalid or unenforceable, then the Party pursuing such infringement action shall promptly give written notice to the other Party. Where such allegation is made in an opposition, reexamination, interference or other patent office proceeding, the provisions of Section 8.3.7 shall apply. Where such allegation is made in a counterclaim to a suit or other action brought under Section 8.4.1, the Party with the first right to enforce the Patent Rights at issue shall have the first right to respond to such defense or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable) and the provisions of Section 8.4.1 (including step-in rights and control over settlement) shall apply. In all other cases, including any declaratory judgment action or similar action or claim filed by a Third Party asserting that any Ambit Licensed Patent or Program Patent is invalid or unenforceable, Astellas shall have the first right to defend such action, at Astellas’s expense, and Ambit will cooperate with Astellas, at Astellas’s expense in such defense. In the event Astellas does not so elect to defend an action with respect to any Ambit Licensed Patent or Program Patent under this Section 8.3.8, it shall so notify Ambit in writing, and Ambit shall have the right to so defend such action, at Ambit’s expense; provided, however, that Ambit shall obtain the written consent of Astellas prior to ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise compromising such defense or counterclaim if such action is likely to materially adversely affect Astellas’s interests in the applicable Ambit Licensed Patent or Program Patent or rights under this Agreement. Each Party shall provide to the Party defending any such rights under this Section 8.3.8 all reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such defending Party’s request and expense. The defending Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such efforts, and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts.
