Complaints and Investigations 1. This article applies to complaints or allegations made externally and not from normal supervisory activities.
Regulatory Investigations It shall be the Administrator’s duty and responsibility, and not the Owner Trustee’s duty and responsibility, to cause the Trust to respond to, defend, participate in or otherwise act in connection with any regulatory, administrative, governmental, investigative or other proceeding or inquiry relating in any way to the Trust, its assets or the conduct of its business.
Third Party Infringement Claims If a Third Party Infringement Claim occurs in the Territory with respect to one or more elements of the RLS Licensed Technical Information or RLS Licensed Software, or in Teletrac's opinion is likely to occur, Teletrac will use reasonable commercial efforts, at its option and expense, either to challenge such Third Party Infringement Claim or otherwise procure for Licensee the right to continue to use, maintain and provide support for the Radio Location System, or to replace or modify the alleged infringing element so that such element becomes non-infringing, provided that such replacement or modification does not materially affect performance of the Radio Location System. If Teletrac has spent, or anticipates that it will be required to spend, more than U.S. $100,000 for such efforts, then Teletrac may give Licensee a ninety (90) day option to pursue such efforts on its own and at its own expense. If Licensee elects to pursue such efforts on its own, then Licensee may deduct from the Annual Royalty Payments due to Teletrac in the future, the reasonable expenses Licensee has incurred in obtaining non-infringing elements, up to a maximum amount of U.S.$250,000. If Licensee has not elected to pursue such efforts on its own within such ninety (90) day option period, then Licensee must notify Teletrac in writing either (i) that this License Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such Third Party Infringement Claim and without any reduction in the Annual Royalty Payment, or (ii) that Licensee elects to terminate this License Agreement due to such Third Party Infringement Claim, which shall be deemed to be a termination under Section 7.1. If the use of any RLS Licensed Software or RLS Licensed Technical Information is enjoined and the foregoing remedies cannot reasonably be accomplished, or if Licensee elects to continue this License Agreement but fails to procure the right to use the infringing element or to replace or modify the infringing element so that it becomes non-infringing, then Teletrac may require the return of the infringing RLS Licensed Software or RLS Licensed Technical Information, and Licensee's right to use such RLS Licensed Software or RLS Licensed Technical Information shall thereupon terminate. In no event shall Teletrac have any obligation to repay or refund any amounts previously paid to it by Licensee.
Litigation and Investigations Promptly after (i) the occurrence thereof, notice of the institution of or any material adverse development in any material action, suit or proceeding or any governmental investigation or any arbitration, before any court or arbitrator or any governmental or administrative body, agency or official, against any Consolidated Company, or any material property of any thereof, or (ii) actual knowledge thereof, notice of the threat of any such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration;
Third Party Litigation The undersigned agrees to be available to the Company and its affiliates on a reasonable basis in connection with any pending or threatened claims, charges or litigation in which the Company or any of its affiliates is now or may become involved, or any other claims or demands made against or upon the Company or any of its affiliates, regardless of whether or not the undersigned is a named defendant in any particular case.
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.
Infringement Claims by Third Parties If the Exploitation of a 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 Mereo 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 this Section 9.4, the Party first becoming aware of such alleged infringement shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing.

AstraZeneca shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with Mereo, as Mereo may reasonably request from time to time, in connection with its activities set forth in this Section 9.4, 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 Mereo shall reimburse AstraZeneca for [***] costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Mereo shall keep AstraZeneca reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding. Mereo agrees to provide AstraZeneca with copies of all material pleadings filed in such action and to allow AstraZeneca reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the claims.

For clarity, if Mereo is required to make any payment to a Third Party to settle such Third Party Infringement Claim, such Third Party Payment shall be a Third Party Payment for the purposes of Section 8.5.3(c).
No Infringement of Third Party IP Rights The Company has never infringed (directly, contributorily, by inducement or otherwise), misappropriated or otherwise violated or made unlawful use of any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person. No Owned Company Software and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no Licensed Company Software infringes, violates or makes unlawful use of any Intellectual Property Right of, or contains any Intellectual Property misappropriated from, any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
Third Party Proceedings The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
