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.

Intellectual Property Infringement To the knowledge of the Company and the Operating Partnership and except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has infringed or is infringing the intellectual property of a third party, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of a claim by a third party to the contrary, except for any such notice that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Patent Invalidity Claim If a Third Party at any time asserts a claim that any Agenus Patent Right, Incyte Program Patent Right or Joint Patent Right Covering a Product is invalid or otherwise unenforceable (an “Invalidity Claim”), whether as a defense in an infringement action brought by Agenus or Incyte pursuant to Section 6.3(b), in a declaratory judgment action or in a Third Party Infringement Claim brought against Agenus or Incyte, the Party Controlling such Patent Right (or Incyte with respect to any Joint Patent Right) shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend such Invalidity Claim and the other Party shall cooperate with the Party Controlling such Patent Right in preparing and formulating a response to such Invalidity Claim. If Agenus does not defend an Invalidity Claim brought against an Agenus Patent Right or Incyte does not defend an Invalidity Claim brought against an Incyte Program Patent Right or Joint Patent Right, the other Party may defend such Invalidity Claim and the coordination provisions of Section 6.3(b) shall apply to such Invalidity Claim, mutatis mutandis as they apply to Licensed IP Infringement suits. Neither Party shall, without the consent of the other Party, settle or compromise any Invalidity Claim in any manner which would (a) have an adverse effect on such other Party’s Patent Rights or such other Party’s Program Rights hereunder or (b) be an admission of liability on behalf of such other Party (provided, however, that the Party initiating such suit may settle such suit without such consent if such settlement involves only the receipt of money from, or the payment of money to, such Third Party and the Party initiating such suit makes all such payments to such Third Party). To the extent such Invalidity Claim is raised as a defense in an infringement action brought by Agenus or Incyte pursuant to Section 6.3(b), the expense provisions of Section 6.3 shall apply and counsel to the Party controlling the infringement action shall act as the ministerial liaison with the court. To the extent such Invalidity Claim is raised in a Third Party Infringement Claim brought against a Party, the expense provisions of Section 6.4 shall apply with respect thereto and the Party against whom the Invalidity Claim is brought shall act as the ministerial liaison with the court.
