|
7.8.3 |
The Party controlling any defense under this Section 7.8 shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceedings to the extent permissible under applicable Laws and to be represented by its own counsel [***].

Neither Party shall have the right to settle any proceeding under this Section 7.8 in a manner that adversely affects, or diminishes the rights or interests of, the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. |

Infringement of Third Party Rights. If any Licensed Product used or sold by STA or its Affiliates or their Sublicensees or subcontractors becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of such Third Party’s Patent granted by a jurisdiction within the Territory, STA shall promptly notify PUMA, and the Parties shall, if so advised by their respective legal counsels, agree on and enter into a “common interest agreement” wherein the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute, and thereafter, the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action. Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, STA shall be solely responsible for defending against any such claim or assertion, [***]. STA shall keep PUMA fully informed of such claim and its defense, and shall reasonably consider and seek to accommodate any timely comments of PUMA with respect thereto. |
