Notice of Litigation, Right to Prosecute, Etc No Fund shall be liable for indemnification under this Section 5.03 unless a Person shall have promptly notified such Fund in writing of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding brought against such Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 5.03. With respect to claims in such litigation or proceedings for which indemnity by a Fund may be sought and subject to applicable law and the ruling of any court of competent jurisdiction, such Fund shall be entitled to participate in any such litigation or proceeding and, after written notice from such Fund to any Person, such Fund may assume the defense of such litigation or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense in respect of that portion of the litigation for which such Fund may be subject to an indemnification obligation; provided however, a Person shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) at its own cost and expense, the defense of any such litigation or proceeding if such Fund has not acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Person with respect to such litigation or proceeding. If such Fund is not permitted to participate or control such litigation or proceeding under applicable law or by a ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction, such Person shall reasonably prosecute such litigation or proceeding. A Person shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in any such litigation or proceeding without providing each applicable Fund with adequate notice of any such settlement or judgment, and without each such Fund's prior written consent. All Persons shall submit written evidence to each applicable Fund with respect to any cost or expense for which they are seeking indemnification in such form and detail as such Fund may reasonably request.
Right to Defend Upon receipt of notice of any matter for which indemnification might be claimed by an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such matter at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party must cooperate in any such defense or other action. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party be entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter. In the event the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect in a timely manner against any matter, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the reasonable cost thereof from the Indemnifying Party including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable judgment, within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice. Failure to reject such notice within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an acceptance of such settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to effect a settlement or compromise over the objection of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party is contesting such claim in good faith or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party waives any right to indemnity therefor. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such matters, the Indemnified Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party does not abandon the defense thereof, be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
Company Right to Prosecute So long as Company remains the only licensee of the Patent Rights and Biological Materials in the Field, Company shall have the right, under its own control and at its own expense, to prosecute any third party infringement of the Patent Rights in the Field or, together with licensees of the Patent Rights in other fields (if any), to defend the Patent Rights in any declaratory judgment action brought by a third party which alleges invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of the Patent Rights. Prior to commencing any such action, Company shall consult with Medical School and shall consider the views of Medical School regarding the advisability of the proposed action and its effect on the public interest. Company shall not enter into any settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of any infringement action under this Subsection without the prior written consent of Medical School, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any recovery obtained in an action under this Subsection shall be distributed as follows: (i) each party shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in the action (including the amount of any royalty payments withheld from Medical School as described below), (ii) as to ordinary damages, Company shall receive an amount equal to its lost profits or a reasonable royalty on the infringing sales (whichever measure of damages the court shall have applied), less a reasonable approximation of the royalties that Company would have paid to Medical School if Company had sold the infringing products and services rather than the infringer, and (iii) as to special or punitive damages, the parties shall share equally in any award. Company may offset a total of fifty percent (50%) of any expenses incurred under this Subsection against any royalty payments due to Medical School under this Agreement, provided that in no event shall the royalty payments under Section 4.5. and 4.7., when aggregated with any other offsets and credits allowed under this Agreement, be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) in any Royalty Period.
No Infringement of Third Party IP Rights Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating, or has ever infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated, any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person. The conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries has not infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person or constituted unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction, and when conducted in substantially the same manner after the date of this Agreement will not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person, including patents issuing on patent applications filed as of the date of this Agreement, or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction (except to the extent due to Company’s ownership by Buyer or its affiliates). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) no product or service ever produced, distributed, used, provided or sold by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has ever infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person; (ii) no infringement, misappropriation or similar Action, or any Action alleging unfair competition or trade practices, is pending or has been threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary or against any other Person who may be entitled to be indemnified, defended, held harmless or reimbursed by the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to such Action; (iii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice or other communication (in writing or otherwise) relating to any actual, alleged or suspected infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Right of another Person, or any actual, alleged or suspected engagement by the Company or any Subsidiary in unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction; (iv) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is bound by any Contract to indemnify, defend, hold harmless or reimburse any other Person with respect to any infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Right (other than as set forth in Section 3.13(h) of the Disclosure Schedule); and (v) no Action involving any Licensed IP is pending or has been threatened, except for any such Action that, if adversely determined, would not adversely affect (A) the use or exploitation of such Licensed IP by the Company or any Subsidiary or (B) the distribution, hosting, delivery or sale of any Company Product. 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.
Right to Contest and Defend The indemnifying party shall be entitled at its cost and expense to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any Indemnity Claim with respect to which it is called upon to indemnify the indemnified party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that notice of the intention to so contest shall be delivered by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party within 20 days from the date of receipt by the indemnifying party of notice by the indemnified party of the assertion of the Indemnity Claim. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the indemnifying party or the indemnified party as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted and prosecuted diligently to a final conclusion or settled in accordance with this Section 7.4 by reputable counsel employed by the indemnifying party and not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party, but the indemnified party shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not have the authority to subject the indemnified party to any obligation whatsoever, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks or obligations not involving material expense. If the indemnifying party does not elect to contest any such Indemnity Claim or elects to contest such Indemnity Claim but fails diligently and promptly to prosecute or settle such claim, the indemnifying party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of an Indemnity Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of an Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Indemnity Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Indemnity Claim and which would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnity Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Indemnity Claim) if the Indemnity Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified party which the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Indemnity Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.
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.
Notice; Right to Defend Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5 deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and if the indemnifying party agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages and losses incurred by the indemnified party with respect to such claim, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party reasonably believes that representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Agreement only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Agreement.
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.
Right to Contest Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted diligently and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Imposition other than Insurance premiums and Ground Rent (if applicable), if: (i) Borrower notifies Lender of the commencement or expected commencement of such proceedings, (ii) the Mortgaged Property is not in danger of being sold or forfeited, (iii) if Borrower has not already paid the Imposition, Borrower deposits with Lender reserves sufficient to pay the contested Imposition, if requested by Lender, and (iv) Borrower furnishes whatever additional security is required in the proceedings or is reasonably requested by Lender, which may include the delivery to Lender of reserves established by Borrower to pay the contested Imposition.
