Non-exclusivity, Etc The rights of Indemnitee hereunder will be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Charter, the Bylaws or the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") or otherwise; provided, however, that to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any provision of the Charter or Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder, and provided, further, that to the extent that any change is made to the MGCL (whether by legislative action or judicial decision), the Charter and/or the Bylaws which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided under this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder. The Company will not adopt any amendment to the Charter or the Bylaws the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Indenmitee's right to indemnification under the Charter, the Bylaws, the MGCL or otherwise as applied to any act or failure to act occurring in whole or in part prior to the date upon which the amendment was approved by the Company's Board of Directors and/or its stockholders, as the case may be.
Patent Term Extension The Parties will cooperate in selecting a patent within the Patent Rights to seek a term extension for or supplementary protection certificate under in accordance with the applicable laws of any country. Each Party agrees to execute any documents and to take any additional actions as the other Party may reasonably request in connection therewith.
Exclusivity Without prejudice to the Company’s rights under Section 5.4, the Company agrees not to appoint any other depositary for issuance of depositary shares, depositary receipts or any similar securities or instruments so long as The Bank of New York Mellon is acting as Depositary under this Deposit Agreement.
Patent Term Extensions The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates, patent term restorations, and other extensions (collectively, “Extensions”) of the Acceleron Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights (including those available under the Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act). Each Party shall execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such Extensions. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in gaining Extensions wherever applicable to Acceleron Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights. The holder of the applicable NDA may determine what Extensions of any such Patent Rights shall be made; provided that, if in any country such holder has an option to extend the patent term for only one of several patents, the first Party shall consult with the other Party before making the election. If more than one patent is eligible for such an Extension, the Parties shall select in good faith a strategy that shall maximize patent protection and commercial value for each Licensed Product. All filings for such Extensions, as determined by the holder of the applicable NDA, shall be made by the Party to whom responsibility for Prosecution of the Acceleron Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights are assigned, and the owner of record of the applicable Patent Right shall assist with such filings; provided that, in the event that the Party to whom such responsibility is assigned elects not to file for an Extension, such Party shall (a) inform the other Party of its intention not to file, (b) grant the other Party the right to file for such Extension in the Patent Rights’ owner’s name, and (c) provide all necessary assistance in connection therewith. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) pursuant to the Shire Agreement, Shire and Acceleron will consult in selecting Patent Rights to extend the patent term with respect to “Licensed Products” under the Shire Agreement, and Shire shall make the decision in all countries of the world other than those of North America with respect to such “Licensed Products” under the Shire Agreement, and the filings for Extensions with respect thereto will be made by the party who is responsible for Prosecuting Patent Rights under the Shire Agreement, and, as such, Celgene’s rights under this Section 8.9 are subject to Shire’s prior rights; and (ii) Acceleron shall keep Celgene informed of all elections with respect to Extensions made pursuant to the Shire Agreement that affect Acceleron Patent Rights, and, to the extent that Shire is making any such elections, Acceleron shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Shire to take the actions specified by this Section 8.9 in a manner consistent with the Shire Agreement; provided that Acceleron will not be in breach of its obligations under this Section 8.9 if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by Shire.
Limited Exclusivity The Sub-Advisor agrees that it will not provide similar services to any other mutual fund which holds itself out to the public as “Environmentally Qualified” or otherwise “Socially Responsible” within the common meanings of those terms. Other than that, it is understood that the services of the Sub-Advisor are not exclusive, and that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Sub-Advisor from providing similar services to other investment advisory clients, including but not by way of limitation, investment companies or to other series of investment companies, including the Trust (whether or not their investment objectives and policies are similar to those of the Fund) or from engaging in other activities, provided such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere in a material manner with the Sub-Advisor’s ability to meet its obligations to the Fund hereunder. When the Sub-Advisor recommends the purchase or sale of a security for other investment companies and other clients, and at the same time the Sub-Advisor recommends the purchase or sale of the same security for the Fund, it is understood that in light of its fiduciary duty to the Fund, such transactions will be executed on a basis that is fair and equitable to the Fund. If the Sub-Advisor provides any advice to its clients concerning the shares of the Fund, the Sub-Advisor shall act solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way on behalf of the Trust or the Fund. The Sub-Advisor provides investment advisory services to numerous other investment advisory clients, including but not limited to other funds and may give advice and take action which may differ from the timing or nature of action taken by the Sub-Advisor with respect to the Fund. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon the Sub-Advisor any obligations other than those imposed by law to purchase, sell or recommend for purchase or sale, with respect to the Fund, any security which the Sub-Advisor, or the shareholders, officers, directors, employees or affiliates may purchase or sell for their own account or for the account of any client.
Patent Term Restoration The Parties hereto shall give reasonable cooperation to each other in obtaining patent term restoration or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country in the Territory where applicable to the Collaboration IP.
Mitigation; Exclusivity of Benefits (a) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any such benefits be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination or otherwise.

NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION (a) The rights of Indemnitee as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any Proceeding (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) or claim, issue or matter therein arising out of, or related to, any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter, the Bylaws or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
(b) The DGCL, the Charter and the Bylaws permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”) on behalf of Indemnitee against any liability asserted against Indemnitee or incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee or in such capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement or under the DGCL, as it may then be in effect. The purchase, establishment, and maintenance of any such Indemnification Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or of Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under any such Indemnification Arrangement.
(c) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees, partners, managers, managing members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, trustee, partner, managers, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise), the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(d) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(e) The Company’s obligation to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payments or advancement of expenses from such Enterprise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary except for Section 27, (i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or apportion any indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement, contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior to the Company’s satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall perform fully its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification, advancement, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage rights against any person or entity other than the Company.
