Third Party Infringement In the event there is infringement by a third party of any Biochrom patent for the Product (“Third Party Infringement”) and GE Healthcare becomes aware of such infringement, GE Healthcare may give Biochrom written notice to that effect, including with such written notice evidence establishing a prima facie case of infringement by such third party. Biochrom shall bear all expenses of any suit brought by it based upon such infringement and shall retain all damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit. If, after the expiration of ninety (90) days from the date of such notice, Biochrom has not obtained a discontinuance of such infringement or brought suit against the third party infringer, then the parties shall appoint by mutual agreement an attorney with at least 15 years experience in litigating patent infringement lawsuits in the United States, who is a partner at a law firm with a nationally recognized intellectual property practice and who has no prior relationship with either party (“Independent Patent Counsel”). Such Independent Patent Counsel shall evaluate the identified Third Party Infringement and advise the parties in writing by not later than 60 days after his or her appointment whether he or she believes there is a reasonable likelihood of success in pursuing a claim for the Third Party Infringement. The cost of Independent Patent Counsel shall be shared equally by the parties. If Independent Patent Counsel determines that there is a reasonable likelihood of success and by the 30th day after such advice Biochrom has still not obtained a discontinuance of such infringement or brought suit against the third party infringer, then GE Healthcare shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such infringer. Biochrom will cooperate with GE Healthcare in any such suit for infringement brought by GE Healthcare against such third party, and shall have the right to consult with GE Healthcare and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. GE Healthcare shall bear all expenses of such suit, and shall retain any damages or other monies awarded or received in consequence of such litigation.
