Third Party Infringement If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, either Party shall become aware of any Third Party infringement or threatened infringement of any of the Patent Rights relating to GPEx® Cell Line, the following provisions shall apply:
A. The Party becoming so aware shall forthwith give written notice to the other of such infringement.
B. If there is disagreement as to whether the act complained of is in fact an infringement of any of the Patent Rights or whether such infringement proceedings stand a reasonable chance of success, the Parties shall refer such issue to a mutually agreed independent and experienced patent counsel, and the costs incurred in this regard shall be borne by the party whose view does not prevail. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on a suitable independent patent counsel within thirty days of a nomination of such counsel by a Party, the Parties shall submit such impasse to CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 which shall designate such independent counsel and under whose auspices the independent counsel shall render a decision.
C. With or without the advice of the independent patent counsel, Catalent shall have the right to litigate such alleged third party infringement in such country. Catalent shall notify Xencor within […***…] after the written notice described in (1) above (or, if later, […***…] after the decision of the patent counsel described in clause (2) above) whether it intends to so litigate. Xencor shall, upon request of Catalent and at Catalent’s expense, provide Catalent with all such assistance as it may reasonably require in the conduct of such claims or proceedings. Catalent shall bear the cost of such proceedings and shall be entitled to retain all sums recovered in such action for its own account; provided, however, that to the extent such recovery represents lost profits on Product sales arising from such infringement, […***…] ([…***…]%) of such amount shall be paid to Xencor
D. If Catalent (i) determines not to litigate in accordance with clause (C) above and the patent counsel described in clause (B) above has opined that the act complained of is, or most likely is, an infringement in such country or (ii) fails to reasonably pursue such litigation, then Xencor may, in its sole discretion and expense, bring suit in its name to restrain such Third Party infringement. In such event Xencor shall conduct such proceedings properly and diligently and shall keep Catalent timely apprised of the course of such litigation. The net proceeds of such action will be retained by Xencor.
E. In the event of any action permitted under this Section 8.2 by either party, the other party will provide the necessary and timely assistance in such action on reasonable terms and conditions to be agreed on at such time. In connection with any deliberations concerning the prospects for successfully bringing suit to enjoin such infringement, the parties shall promptly and fully make available to each other their information concerning the validity and enforceability of the relevant Patent Rights and any other relevant information.
F. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, as between the Parties, Xencor shall have the sole right to institute infringement actions with respect to any allegedly infringing activity involving a Product other than any such activity that infringes or is alleged to infringe the Patent Rights, and to retain all recoveries from such actions.
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.

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.

Third Party Patents If, after June 17, 2014, it was or is Necessary or Useful for Allogene (or Pfizer, to the extent identified by Pfizer prior to the Assignment) to license one or more Patent Rights from one or more Third Parties in order to Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize or use any Allogene Licensed Product, whether directly or through any Allogene Affiliate or Sublicensee, then Allogene may, in its sole discretion, negotiate and obtain a license under such Patent Right(s) (each such Third Party license, or any such Third Party license entered into as of the Effective Date by Allogene or by Pfizer and assigned to Allogene, referred to herein as an “Additional Third Party License”). Any royalty otherwise payable to Cellectis under this Agreement with respect to Net Sales of any Allogene Licensed Product by Allogene, its Affiliates or Sublicensees will be reduced by [***] of the amounts payable to Third Parties pursuant to any Additional Third Party Licenses, such reduction to continue until all such amounts have been expended, provided that in no event will the total royalty payable to Cellectis for any Allogene Licensed Product be less than [***] of the royalty amounts otherwise payable for such Allogene Licensed Product and in no event will the royalty payable to Cellectis for any Allogene Licensed Product be reduced below [***] (in each case, other than in the case of Cellectis’ breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder). For purposes of this Section 5.2.2(b), (i) “Necessary” means that, without a license to use the Third Party’s Patent Right, the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or use of any Allogene Licensed Product in the form such Allogene Licensed Product exists at the time that the Additional Third Party License is executed would, in Allogene’s opinion, infringe such Third Party’s Patent Right and (ii) “Useful” means that Allogene has determined in its discretion that use of such Third Party’s Patent Right would enhance the commercial potential of such Allogene Licensed Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree and acknowledge that this Section 5.2.2(b) will not apply with respect to royalties payable by Allogene to any Third Party under any agreement in existence as of June 17, 2014. Neither Party will intentionally negotiate with a Third Party an exclusive license that excludes sublicense rights to the other Party, in the event such Third Party rights are necessary, as determined by the negotiating Party, to Develop and Commercialize Allogene Licensed Products and Cellectis Products in connection with this Agreement in the Field.
