respect of the Licensed Products sold utilizing the Licensed Elements.
C. INDEMNIFICATION. Each of Licensee and Licensor shall at all times
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other and the other's trustees or
directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all third
party claims, damages and liabilities, and reasonable costs and expenses,
growing out of or arising from the fault of the indemnitor, whether or not
occurring in the course of performance under this Agreement, or any actual or
alleged breach or default by the indemnitor of its agreements, covenants,
-6-
representations, or obligations under this Agreement. If an indemnitee hereunder
becomes aware of any matter it believes is indemnifiable hereunder involving any
claim, action, suit, investigation, arbitration, or other proceeding against the
indemnitee by any third party, the indemnitee shall give the indemnitor prompt
written notice of such claim. Such notice shall provide the basis on which
indemnification is being asserted and be accompanied by copies of all relevant
pleadings, demands, and other papers related to the claim and in the possession

of such notice to respond. If the indemnitor elects to defend the claim or does
not respond within the requisite 10-day period, the indemnitor shall be
obligated to defend the claim, at its own expense, and by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnitee. The indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense
of the indemnitor, with the indemnitor and its counsel in the defense, and the
indemnitee shall have the right to participate fully, at its own expense, in the
defense of such claim. If the indemnitor responds within the required 10-day
period and elects not to defend such claim, the indemnitee shall be free,
without prejudice to any of the indemnitee's rights hereunder, to compromise or
defend (and control the defense of) such claim. In such case, the indemnitor
shall cooperate, at its own expense, with the indemnitee and its counsel in the
defense against such claim, and the indemnitor shall have the right to
participate fully, at its own expense, in the defense of such claim. Any
compromise or settlement of an claim or action shall require the prior written
consent of both parties hereunder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Despite the foregoing, if at any time it appears that any
intellectual property right of a party will be in issue as part of such claim,
such party shall have the right to defend such right at its own expense, except
that such defense shall be at the expense of the party whose act or omission
caused such intellectual property right to be in issue.
7. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party shall assign, sublicense, encumber, pledge, or
otherwise transfer any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
without the other party's prior written approval in its sole discretion,
provided, however, that Licensee may assign this Agreement without the consent
of Licensor to any entity under common control with Licensee. Despite any such
approved assignment or other transfer, the assignor or transferor shall, after
such assignment or transfer, continue to guarantee its obligations under this
Agreement and shall ensure that its permitted assignee or transferee agrees in
writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. No assignee or
transferee shall acquire any rights greater than those of the assignor or
