7.3. If TEMPLE declines to file or maintain a patent application or an issued patent included within PATENT RIGHTS, COMPANY shall have the option, at its expense, of continuing to prosecute any such patent application, filing such patent application or keeping such issued patent in force, as applicable.

COMPANY agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend TEMPLE, its trustees, officers, employees and agents against any and all claims, excluding claims stemming from TEMPLE’s use of LICENSED PRODUCT as outlined in Paragraph 3.2, including legal fees and costs arising out of the exercise of any rights granted under this License Agreement, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, against any damages, losses or liabilities whatsoever including but not limited to death or injury to person or damage to property arising from the commercial sale and clinical research of LICENSED PRODUCT by COMPANY, its sublicensees or any customers of any of them in any manner whatsoever. TEMPLE shall give COMPANY written notice of any claim(s) related to LICENSED PRODUCT within **, and TEMPLE shall reasonably cooperate with COMPANY and its insurance carrier in the defense of any such claim(s).
