Defense of Third Party Claims In the case of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right: (a) to control and conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith and necessary or appropriate to defend the claim, (b) to take all other reasonable steps or proceedings to settle or defend any such Third-Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and (c) to employ counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party to contest any such Third-Party Claim in the name of the Indemnified Party or otherwise. The Indemnifying Party shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a Third-Party Claim Notice (the “Indemnity Notice Period”), give written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver to the Indemnified Party within the Indemnity Notice Period written notice that the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may defend against any such Third-Party Claim in any such manner as it may deem appropriate, provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to fully participate in (but not control) such defense (including with counsel of its choice), at its sole expense, and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation. In the event that either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided above (the “Controlling Party”), the non-Controlling Party shall have the right to fully participate (but not control) in such defense (including with counsel of its choice), at its sole expense, and the Controlling Party shall reasonably cooperate with the non-Controlling Party in connection with such participation; provided, however, that Buyer and Seller shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts with respect to any information shared pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) to preserve attorney-client privilege.
Indemnification of Third Party Claims The obligations and liabilities of any party to indemnify any other under this Article 6 with respect to Claims relating to third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
Indemnification Against Third-Party Claims Each Party (the Indemnifying Party) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party (the Indemnified Party) and the other Party’s Subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, Affiliates, and assigns, and all current and former officers, directors, members, shareholders, agents, contractors and employees of all such persons and entities (collectively, with Indemnified Party, the “Indemnitee Group”), from any and all Claims (as hereinafter defined). 22.1.1 For purposes of this Section 22, Claim means any action, cause of action, suit, proceeding, claim, or demand of any third party (and all resulting judgments, bona fide settlements, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees), (a) based on allegations that, if true, would establish (i) the Indemnifying Party’s breach of this Agreement; (ii) the Indemnifying Party’s misrepresentation, fraud or other misconduct; (iii) the Indemnifying Party’s negligent or willful misconduct or omissions; (iv) infringement by the Indemnifying Party or by any Indemnifying Party product or service of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade name, right of publicity or privacy, trade secret, or any other proprietary right of any third party; (v) the Indemnifying Party’s liability in relation to any wrongful disclosure of private or personal matters or material which is defamatory; or (vi) the Indemnifying Party’s wrongful use or unauthorized disclosure of data; or (b) that arises out of: (i) any act or omission of the Indemnifying Party or its subcontractors or agents relating to the Indemnifying Party’s performance or obligations under this Agreement or the Indemnifying Party’s use of any services or facilities obtained from or provided by the other Party under this Agreement; (ii) any act or omission of the Indemnifying Party’s customer(s) or End User(s) pertaining to the services or facilities provided under this Agreement; (iii) the bodily injury or death of any person, or the loss or disappearance of or damage to the tangible property of any person, relating to the Indemnifying Party’s performance or obligations under this Agreement; (iv) the Indemnifying Party’s design, testing, manufacturing, marketing, promotion, advertisement, distribution, lease or sale of services and/or products to its customers, or such customers’ use, possession, or operation of those services and/or products; or (v) personal injury to or any unemployment compensation claim by one or more of the Indemnifying Party’s employees, notwithstanding any protections the Indemnifying Party might otherwise have under applicable workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance law, which protections the Indemnifying Party waives, as to the Indemnified Party and other persons and entities to be indemnified under this Section (other than applicable employee claimant(s)). 22.1.2 For purposes of this Section, Reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, as used in this Section, includes without limitation fees and costs incurred to interpret or enforce this Section. 22.1.3 The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonably prompt written notice of any Claim. At the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the Indemnified Party will provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim. The Indemnified Party may, at its expense, employ separate counsel to monitor and participate in the defense of any Claim.
Infringement Claims by Third Parties If the Exploitation of a Licensed Product in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in, or is reasonably expected to result in, any claim, suit or proceeding by a Third Party alleging infringement by Licensee or any of its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees, (a “Third Party Infringement Claim”), including any defense or counterclaim in connection with an Infringement action initiated pursuant to Section 6.3.2, the Party first becoming aware of such alleged infringement shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing. As between the Parties, Licensee shall be responsible for defending any such claim, suit or proceeding, at its sole cost and expense using counsel of Licensee’s choice, in relation to technology licensed under any Exclusive Licensed Technology, and MedImmune shall be responsible for defending any such claim, suit or proceeding at proceeding at its sole cost and expense, using counsel of MedImmune’s choice in relation to technology licensed under any Non-Exclusive Licensed Technology. MedImmune shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with Licensee, as Licensee may reasonably request from time to time, in connection with its activities set out in this Section 6.4, including where necessary, furnishing a power of attorney solely for such purpose or joining in, or being named as a necessary party to, such action, providing access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided that Licensee shall reimburse MedImmune for its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Licensee shall keep MedImmune reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding. Licensee agrees to provide MedImmune with copies of all material pleadings filed in such action and to allow MedImmune reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the claims. Any damages, or awards, including royalties incurred or awarded in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim defended under this Section 6.4 shall be [***].
Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims Promptly following the earlier of (a) receipt of notice of the commencement by a third party of any Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (b) receipt of information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 6.07 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (a) acknowledge, as between the parties hereto, liability for, and at its option elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense or (b) object to the claim of indemnification set forth in the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.07 setting forth the grounds therefor; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not within the same thirty (30) day period give the Indemnified Party written notice acknowledging liability or objecting to such claim and setting forth the grounds therefor, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged, as between the parties hereto, its liability to the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. Any contest of a Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for; in all other events, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification under Article VI, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any) within 15 days after the final resolution of such Third Party Claim (whether by the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), or, in the case of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged liability, within 15 days after such Indemnifying Party’s objection has been resolved by settlement, compromise or the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Third Party Claims Each Notice of Claim given by Acquiror, which involves a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), shall be resolved as follows: (a) If, within thirty (30) days after a Notice of Claim is delivered to the Seller Representative, (x) the Seller Representative produces a notice of election and (y) such notice of election includes a written acknowledgment from the Seller Representative on behalf of the Seller Guarantors and the Sellers (the “Indemnifying Persons”) that the Indemnifying Persons would be required to indemnify the Acquiror Indemnified Persons for all Damages in connection with such Third Party Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Persons shall have the right, but not the obligation to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of their own choice (subject to the approval of Acquiror, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Persons’ sole cost and expense, and (iii) compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of Acquiror; provided, that such consent will not be required if such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Acquiror Indemnified Persons and provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Acquiror Indemnified Persons will be indemnified in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Persons shall not have the right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if (1) the Indemnifying Persons fail to actively and diligently conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), (2) the Acquiror Indemnified Persons have received advice from counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Acquiror Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, (3) such Third Party Claim seeks a finding or admission of a violation of any criminal Law by an Acquiror Indemnified Person, (4) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable remedies in respect of an Acquiror Indemnified Person or its business, (5) such Third Party Claim relates to a Material Customer or Material Supplier, or (6) such Third Party Claim is reasonably likely to result in Damages that, taken with any other then existing claims under this Article 12, would not be not be fully indemnified hereunder. (b) In the event that the Indemnifying Persons defend the Acquiror Indemnified Persons against a Third Party Claim, the Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the Indemnifying Persons’ request, with the Indemnifying Persons and their attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom, including, if appropriate and related to such Third Party Claim, in making any counterclaim against the third party claimant, or any cross complaint against any Person, in each case, at the expense of the Indemnifying Persons. The Acquiror Indemnified Persons may, at their own sole cost and expense, monitor and further participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Indemnifying Persons do not assume such defense and investigation or does not acknowledge in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice its obligation to indemnify the Acquiror Indemnified Persons against any Damages arising from such Third Party Claim, then the Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall have the right to retain separate counsel of their choosing, defend such Third Party Claim and have the sole power to direct and control such defense (all at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Persons if it is ultimately determined that the Acquiror Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification hereunder); it being understood that the Acquiror Indemnified Persons’ right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whether or not the Indemnifying Persons shall have assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall not settle, compromise or pay such Third Party Claim for which they seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Persons, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (d) The Acquiror Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 8.1(d) shall exclusively govern S Corporation Tax Proceedings.
Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.
Settlement of Third Party Claims Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Third Party Infringement Claims In the event any claim or action for infringement of any patent, trademark, or other intellectual property right shall be made or brought by a third party against Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates because of, or in anticipation of, the manufacture and supply of Product by Seller to Purchaser hereunder, or the marketing, sale or distribution of such Product to Purchaser Customers in the Territory by Purchaser hereunder (a “Third Party Infringement Claim”), the party first receiving such notice of the Third Party Infringement Claim shall promptly notify the other party. With respect to the Third Party Infringement Claim, Seller and Purchaser each hereby agrees that all Damages arising from or related to the Third Party Infringement Claim (including any legal fees and associated costs incurred in defending the Third Party Infringement Claim and any fees, royalties or other amounts paid in settlement or upon judgment) shall be shared as follows: (a) Except as provided in clause (b) below, Seller shall be 100% responsible for all Damages arising from any Third Party Infringement Claim, including any fees, royalties or other amounts agreed to be paid in settlement or upon judgment of the Lawsuit or otherwise; and (b) Purchaser shall be 100% responsible for all Damages arising from any Third Party Infringement Claim with respect to the use of Purchaser Trademarks. Each party agrees to indemnify the other party to ensure that Damages arising from any Third Party Infringement Claim are allocated in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, Seller shall control the defense any Third Party Infringement Claim described in clause (a) above and Purchaser shall control the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim described in clause (b) above. The party controlling the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim shall have the sole right to defend or settle any such Third Party Infringement Claim; provided, however, that such settlement does not impose any obligation or burden on the other party without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The party controlling the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim shall keep the other party, at its request, materially informed of the status and progress of the defense of the Third Party Infringement Claim. No Third Party Infringement Claim shall be settled by the party who is not controlling the defense of such Third Party Infringement Claim without the prior written consent of the party controlling such defense. The non-controlling party, its employees, agents and Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with the party (and its legal representatives) controlling the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim in the investigation and defense of such Third Party Infringement Claim. Notwithstanding the above, and by way of clarification, neither party shall be obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder for modification or misuse of the Product by the other party or by wholesalers or the customers of either party. The provisions of this Section 17.4 shall be notwithstanding any conflicting provisions set forth in this Agreement, including Sections 17.1, 17.2 and 17.3.
Non-Third Party Claims Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
