6.4.3.3 As soon as commercially practicable following each Neose Improvement Meeting and the agreement upon Neose Improvement Claims to be filed, Novo will, at Neose’s sole cost and expense, with respect to any agreed-upon Neose Improvement Claim, subject to this Section 6.4.3, file, prosecute, maintain, and extend, in the jurisdictions chosen by Neose, one or more new or continuation/divisional applications consisting only of the agreed-upon Neose Improvement Claims, claiming priority (each a “Neose Improvement Claim Application”), as appropriate, to one or more pending Novo patent applications.

6.4.3.4 Each Neose Improvement Claim Application will be owned by Novo and licensed to Neose pursuant to Section 5.2 and, subject to Novo’s obligations in this Section 6.4, managed by Novo throughout its prosecution and prosecuted by patent counsel appointed by Novo.

6.4.3.5 With respect to all Neose License Claims, the Parties shall agree on the scope and language of the claims to be filed.  Novo will, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt, provide Neose with copies of all correspondence from any patent authority or regulatory agency, and any proceedings (including, but not limited to, opposition proceedings, interference proceedings, protests in re-examination proceedings, and inter partes re-examination proceedings, and the like), relating to filed Neose Improvement Claims, and shall notify Neose in writing of any oral communications regarding filed Neose License Claims within thirty (30) days after receipt of any such communications.  Notwithstanding Section 6.4.2 and Section 6.4.3,  with respect to Restriction Requirements, Novo will provide Neose with a copy of the patent authority communication and Novo’s proposed response as soon as is commercially reasonable.

6.4.3.6 In connection with any proceedings before a patent authority regarding any Neose License Claims,  Novo shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) provide Neose with a copy of any proposed filing with such patent authority regarding any Neose License Claims, and, (ii) inform Neose of any planned, non-written substantive communication to such patent authority in connection with any Neose License Claims, at least

efforts to extend the term of such patent for a product containing a Neose Exclusive Compound, including diligently supplying all information relating to such extension, and executing supporting documents required to comply with all laws pertaining to the extension of patent term.

6.4.3.13 In the event the Patent Representatives are unable to agree upon (i) a Neose License Claim, (ii) the scope, language or prosecution strategy therefor, or (iii) any other matter under this Section 6.4.3, the Parties will do the following to resolve the dispute:

(a) Any disagreement will be referred to the Steering Committee for a period of 15 business days.

(b) If the Steering Committee is unable to resolve the dispute within such 15 business day period, the dispute will be referred to the Designated Representatives of the Parties for resolution.  If the dispute is not resolved by the Designated Representatives within 15 business days, the dispute may be referred to arbitration in accordance with Section 13.2.

reasonable, documented costs of such cooperation with regard to Neose Technology and Neose License Claims, unless such infringement or misappropriation is by an Affiliate or Sublicensee of Novo and Novo shall reimburse Neose for its reasonable, documented costs of such cooperation with regard to Carved Factor IX Claims, unless such infringement or misappropriation is by an Affiliate or Sublicensee of Neose.

6.6.2 Right to Institute Suit.  Neose shall have the sole right to initiate an infringement or other appropriate suit against any Third Party who at any time has infringed or is suspected of infringing or misappropriating, the Neose Technology and any Neose  Improvement Claims  and Novo shall have the sole right to initiate an infringement or other appropriate suit against any Third Party who at any time has infringed or is suspected of infringing or misappropriating, the Carved Factor IX Claims and any Other Neose License Claims.  Prior to initiating any such suit, the Designated Representatives shall consult with each other on an expedited basis, and the party initiating such suit (as such the “Enforcing Party”) shall give due consideration to any reasonable requests the other party may make relating to the advisability of bringing the suit. The Enforcing Party shall not enter into any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of such suit that would adversely affect the other party’s rights under this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with the proviso that no such consent will be required in the case of a settlement by Novo related to Carved Factor IX Claims unless such settlement could have an adverse effect on any of Neose’s Patent Rights. In the event that the Enforcing Party recovers any sums in such suit by way of damages or in settlement thereof, the Enforcing Party shall be entitled to retain the same.

6.6.3 Cooperation.   In a suit initiated by one party, if it is legally required for the other party to join any such suit, or if failure of the other party to join such suit would result in dismissal thereof, the other party shall waive any objection to such joinder on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens and shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to permit the litigation to be conducted.

6.6.4 Continued Infringement.

6.6.4.1 If Neose fails to either bring suit against or enter into negotiations for settlement with such Third Party within six (6) months after receipt of notice of such infringement and Novo is of the opinion that the alleged infringement or misappropriation of Neose Technology is occurring in the Field of Use then, upon Novo’s written request, the Parties shall seek the opinion of patent counsel acceptable to both Parties as to whether there has been or continues to be a misappropriation or infringement of the Neose Technology in the Field of Use by such Third Party. If such patent counsel concurs with Novo’s opinion, Novo shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such Third Party under the Neose Technology and to join Neose as a party plaintiff.  Neose will cooperate with Novo in any such suit brought against a Third Party and shall have the right to consult with Novo and to participate in and be represented by counsel in such suit at its own expense.  In the event that Novo recovers any sums in such suit by way of damages or in settlement thereof, such sums shall be used first to reimburse each of Novo and Neose for their documented, out-of-pocket legal expenses, with Novo retaining any remaining amounts.

If such patent counsel concurs with Novo’s opinion, Novo and Neose shall co-operate to obtain such a license for the benefit of Novo and, as the case may be, also for Neose, in accordance with the following provisions:

7.4.1.1 Neose shall be primarily responsible for obtaining any such Third Party license at its own expense.  The matter shall be deemed resolved if Neose is granted a license, ******, under the relevant Blocking Patent that would make the continued exercise of the rights granted to Novo by Neose hereunder non-infringing with respect to ******.  ****** shall be solely responsible for ****** under such license.

7.4.1.2 However, in the event that Neose is unable to resolve the matter in accordance with Section 7.4.1.1 within one hundred twenty (120) days from receipt of notice from Novo upon terms that are commercially reasonable to Neose at Neose’s discretion, then Novo shall be entitled to negotiate a license in favor of Novo under such Blocking Patents; provided that to the extent that Novo must ****** under such license, Novo may ****** payments owed under Sections 4.1 or 4.2, provided that no payment owed under Section 4.1or 4.2 shall be ****** more than ****** as a result of the operation of this Section 7.4.1.2.

7.4.1.3 In relation to the negotiation and contracting of any such Blocking Patent license, the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall prevail over the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.3.
