Failure to make such assignment or grant subject to this Agreement shall render such assignment or grant void ab initio. Any breach of this Section 10.3(b) by a Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall be regarded as a material breach of this Agreement by such Party, and such Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party, its Subsidiaries and Authorized Third Parties for any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals), liabilities, damages and losses arising out of or resulting from any such breach of this Section 10.3(b), including from any Assertion of any Licensed Patent by a third party that would have been prevented by compliance with this Section 10.3.
