expense to it, reasonably cooperate with and provide such reasonable
assistance to such Indemnifying Party as such Indemnifying Party may
reasonably request. Such reasonable assistance may include, without
limitation, providing copies of all relevant correspondence and other
materials that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The
obligations of an Indemnifying Party under Sections 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 are

split of the applicable expenses and
costs.
|
The
acting Party shall keep the other Party completely informed during the whole
application procedure as well as during the whole patent duration. The acting
Party shall provide the other Party advance copies of any official
correspondence related to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent
filings, and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment
on all correspondence received from and all submission to be made to any
government patent office or authority with respect to any such patent
application or patent, and shall consider in good faith the other Party’s
suggestions with respect to all submission made to any government office or
authority.
If either
Party (the “Declining Party”) at any time declines to share in the costs of
filing, prosecuting and maintaining any such Joint Patent Right, on a country by
country basis, the Declining Party shall provide the other Party (the
“Continuing Party”) with thirty (30) days prior written notice to such effect,
in which event, the Declining Party shall (i) have no responsibility for any
expenses incurred in connection with such Joint Patent Right and (ii) if the
Continuing Party elects to continue prosecution or maintenance, the Declining
Party, upon the Continuing Party’s request, shall execute such documents and
perform such acts, at the Continuing Party’s expense, as may be reasonably

right, title and interest in and to such Joint Patent Rights and (y) to permit
the Continuing Party to file, prosecute and/or maintain such Joint Patent
Right.
If MEDA

Joint Patent Right shall no longer be considered to be part of the ULURU
Intellectual Property Rights for purposes of this Agreement and thereafter shall
be part of MEDA’ s intellectual property.
If ULURU
is (i) the sole owner of a Joint Patent Right or (ii) is the Continuing Party,
such Joint Patent Rights shall no longer be considered to be part of MEDA’s
intellectual property for purposes of this Agreement and thereafter shall be
part of the ULURU Intellectual Property Rights.

|
Enforcement of
Intellectual Property
Rights.
|
12.5.1.
|
If
either Party becomes aware of any infringement of any of the Intellectual
Property Rights, the Trademark, the MEDA Trademark or the validity of any
of the Intellectual Property Rights, Trademark or the MEDA Trademark is
challenged by a Third Party in the Territory, such Party will notify the
other Party in writing to that effect. Any such notice shall include, as
applicable, evidence to support an allegation of infringement by such
Third Party.
|
12.5.2.
|
ULURU
shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take action to
obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against a Third
Party infringer of Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Trademark in
the Territory. Such right shall remain in effect until ninety (90) days
after the date of notice given under Section 12.5.1. In the event that
ULURU exercises such right, then: (a) ULURU shall not consent to the entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such an
action or suit without the prior written consent of MEDA (not to be
unreasonably withheld), and (b) ULURU shall bear all the expenses of any
such suit brought by ULURU claiming infringement of any Intellectual
Property Rights and/or the Trademark. If, after the expiration of the
ninety (90) day period, ULURU has not obtained, or is not diligently
pursuing, a discontinuance of infringement of the Intellectual Property
Rights and/or the Xxxx, filed suit against any such Third Party infringer
of the Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Trademark, or provided MEDA
with information and arguments demonstrating to MEDA’s reasonable
satisfaction that there is insufficient basis for the allegation of such
infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Trademark,
then MEDA shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit
against such Third Party infringer of the Intellectual Property Rights
and/or the Trademark and to join ULURU as a party plaintiff, provided that
MEDA shall bear all the expenses of such suit. In such event, MEDA shall
not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to such an action or suit without the prior written consent of
ULURU (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) if such judgment
or settlement includes a finding or agreement that such Intellectual
Property Right and/or the Trademark is invalid or would enjoin or grant
other equitable relief against
ULURU.
|
With
regard to the MEDA Trademark, it is in the sole discretion of MEDA, whether to
take action to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against a
Third Party infringer of the MEDA Trademark in the Territory or not to take any
action.
12.5.3.
|
Each
Party shall cooperate (including, without limitation, by executing any
documents reasonably required to enable the other Party to initiate such
litigation, testifying when requested or providing relevant documents)
with the other Party in any suit for infringement of Intellectual Property
Rights and/or the Trademark brought by the other Party against a Third
Party in accordance with this Section and shall have the right to consult
with the other Party and to participate in and be represented by
independent counsel in such litigation at its own
expense.
|
12.5.4.
|
Neither
Party shall be required pursuant to this Section 12.5 to undertake any
activities, including, without limitation, legal discovery at the request
of a Third Party except as may be required by lawful process of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
|
12.5.5.
|
Neither
Party shall incur any liability to the other Party as a consequence of any
such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom,
including, without limitation, any decision holding any of the patents
within the Intellectual Property Rights invalid or
unenforceable.
|
12.5.6.
|
Any
recovery obtained by either Party as a result of any such proceeding
against a Third Party infringer shall be allocated as follows: (a) such
recovery shall first be used to reimburse each Party for all litigation
costs in connection with such litigation paid by that Party; and (b) the
Party bringing the action shall receive the remaining portion of such
recovery after payment of the amounts specified in clause
(a).
|
12.6.
|
MEDA
Trademarks.
|
Subject
to the restrictions in Sections 3.1.4 and 12.1, MEDA shall select and own all
MEDA Trademarks in connection with the marketing, promotion and sale of the
Products in the Territory. MEDA hereby grants to ULURU a limited, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, fully paid, royalty free, sublicensable license in and to all
MEDA Trademarks and copyrights to be contained in any such labeling for the sole
purpose of manufacturing and applying such labels to the Products in the conduct
of ULURU’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, that ULURU
agrees to cooperate with and offer reasonable assistance to MEDA in facilitating
MEDA’s control of the quality of the Products branded with MEDA’s Trademarks
hereunder; but further provided that in no event is ULURU obligated to provide
such cooperation or assistance in any way that will (i) lower the quality of the
Products below that which ULURU deems acceptable for general commercial
distribution, (ii) be contrary to or in violation of any regulatory or statutory
obligations, or (iii) increase the cost of manufacturing and delivering the
Products hereunder beyond that contemplated by the Parties as of the Effective

comments with respect to such publications and presentations within ten
(10) business days of its receipt of such written copy. The review period
may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days in the event the non-
disclosing Party can demonstrate reasonable need for such extension. By
mutual agreement of the Parties in writing, this period may be further
extended.
|
12.7.4.
|
The
Parties acknowledge that as publicly held corporations, the Parties may
not lawfully disclose in advance certain information to any party,
including, without limitation, the other Party. This may affect the
Parties’ ability to submit for review certain proposed publications and
public presentations.
|
12.7.5.
