Infringement of Third Party Rights Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the activity of either of the Parties hereunder infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party. Genentech shall have the first right but not the obligation to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Genentech’s activities under this Agreement at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Curis shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If Genentech fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, Curis shall have the right but not the obligation to control any such defense of such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Curis shall have the first right but not the obligation to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Curis’ activities under this Agreement at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If Curis fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation to control any such defense of such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Curis shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any infringement action under this Section 10.5 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party hereunder without the consent of such Party.
Infringement Section 5.1 Either Party shall promptly inform the other Party in writing of any alleged infringement of the any patent applicable to the Protector by a third party and shall provide the other Party with any available evidence thereof. Neither Party shall notify a third party of the infringement or alleged infringement of any patent applicable to the Protector without first consulting with the other Party. Both Parties shall use reasonable efforts and cooperation to terminate infringement without litigation, but, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Party shall determine that it is in its best business interest to commence or threaten to commence litigation against an infringing third-party, then the other Party shall cooperate fully in assisting in such litigation proceeding.
Section 5.2 During the term of this License Agreement, Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prosecute at its own expense all infringements of any patent applicable to the Protector and, in furtherance of such right, the Licensor hereby agrees that Licensee may include the Licensor as a party plaintiff in any such suit, without expense to the Licensor provided, however, that such right to bring such an infringement action shall remain in effect only for so long as the License granted herein remains exclusive. The total cost of any such infringement action commenced or defended solely by Licensee shall be borne by Licensee. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit may be entered into without the consent of the Licensor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. Licensee shall indemnify the Licensor against any order for costs that may be made against the Licensor in such proceedings.
Section 5.3 If, within six (6) months after having been notified of any alleged infringement, Licensee shall have been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist and shall not have brought and shall not be diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or if Licensee shall notify the Licensor at any time prior thereto of its intention not to bring suit against any alleged infringer then, and in those events only, the Licensor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense any infringement of any patent applicable to the Protector, and the Licensor may, for such purposes, use the name of Licensee as party plaintiff.
Section 5.4 In any infringement suit as either Party may institute to enforce any patent rights applicable to the Protector pursuant to this License Agreement, the other Party hereto shall, at the request and expense of the Party initiating such suit, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like.
Third Party Claims With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense and with counsel of its choice satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, to defend and, upon written request from the Indemnified Party, shall defend the Claim (including the negotiation and settlement thereof). If the Indemnifying Party elects or is required to assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim and to retain separate counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party consents to the retention of such counsel or unless the named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential conflicting interests between them (such as the availability of different defenses). If the Indemnifying Party, having assumed such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume control of such defense and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable law to make a payment to any Third Party with respect to the Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for such payment. If the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount that was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference, without interest, to the Indemnifying Party.
Defense of Third Party Claims The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, at its own expense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that, if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may hire its own separate counsel (provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party) with respect to such Third Party Claim and the related action or suit, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such action or suit through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party and, except in the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim (which shall all be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim).
