Such records need only be kept and maintained for at least [**] after the end of any Calendar Year.
(b) Upon the written request of Xxxxx and not more than [**], Telix shall permit (and Xxxxx shall have the right to have) an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing selected by Xxxxx and reasonably acceptable to Telix, at Xxxxx’x expense, to have access during normal business hours to inspect the records of Telix, its Affiliates, and Sublicensees as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder for any Calendar Year ending not more than [**] prior to the date of such request.

This right to audit shall remain in effect throughout the Term of this Agreement and for a period of [**] after the end of the Calendar Year in which the termination or expiration of this Agreement occurs. If such accounting firm identifies an underpayment of royalties (including Sublicense Revenue Royalties) by Telix during such period, Telix shall pay Lilly the amount of the underpayment within [**] of the date the accounting firm delivers to Telix such accounting firm’s written report so concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by Xxxxx unless the underpayment exceeds [**] percent ([**]%) of the amount owed by Telix to Lilly for any Calendar Year subject to such audit, in which case, the reasonable, documented out- of-pocket expense of the accounting firm to conduct such audit shall be borne by Telix.

If such accounting firm identifies an overpayment of royalties (including any Sublicense Revenue Royalties) by Telix during such period, Telix shall have the right to offset future royalty payments by such amount of overpayment or, if no future royalties are payable, Xxxxx shall refund the amount of overpayment to Telix.

The Parties agrees to cooperate (and cause their Affiliates to cooperate) to enable the party subject to such tax to file in a timely manner all forms, certificates, documents, applications or other reasonably required evidence required to be filed by such party to avoid or reduce such taxes and withholding. In addition, the Parties shall cooperate with one another (and cause their Affiliates to cooperate) to minimize or eliminate any withholding taxes applicable on any and all payments made by a party under or with respect to this Agreement, including as may be reasonably necessary to enjoy the benefits of any tax treaty between the applicable government and any other government to prevent double taxation on income and capital gains or similar agreements as may from time to time be available to reduce or eliminate any withholding taxes, including submission of a W8-BENE-E document or equivalent local tax form. For the [**] percent ([**]%) withholding tax Telix is required to deduct or withhold under the income tax treaty between Australia and the Republic of Ireland in effect as of the Effective Date, as contemplated by this Section 6.10, Telix will (i) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Lilly, (ii) forward to Xxxxx an official receipt (or certified copy) or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Lilly evidencing such payment to such authorities within [**] following such payment and (iii) cooperate with Xxxxx in obtaining any refund of such tax or withholding as permitted by Applicable Law, with any such refunds to be for the benefit of Xxxxx.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume direction and control of the defense of the Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense by counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, provided that the Indemnitee may, at its own expense, also be represented by counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to control the defense of any such Claim subject to the terms of this Article 10, but shall consider in good faith all reasonable suggestions of the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party does not assume direction and control of the defense of the Claim within [**] after receiving notice of the Claim from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume direction and control of such defense by counsel selected by the Indemnitee, and, without limiting the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnitee for all reasonable and documented costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the Indemnitee in defending itself within [**] after receipt of any invoice therefor from the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitee assumes direction and control of the defense of such Claim in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party may, at its own expense, participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing.
10.5 Settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle any such Claim or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment with respect to such Claim (a) with prior written notice to the Indemnitee but without the consent of the Indemnitee where (i) there is no admission of legal wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnitee and (ii) the only liability or other obligation imposed on the Indemnitee is the payment of money and the Indemnifying Party is obligated to make such payment under this Article 10 and actually makes such payment or (b) in all other cases, only with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Telix shall not enter into any settlement or voluntary disposition or consent to an adverse judgment with respect to any Claim in any matter that would, in either case, reasonably be anticipated to adversely affect any Licensed Technology or Lilly’s ability to Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize the Licensed Antibody or, if Lilly exercises its Option, Lilly Products or Companion Diagnostics without Xxxxx’x prior written consent, and provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Xxxxx shall not enter into any settlement or voluntary disposition or consent to an adverse judgment with respect to any Claim in any matter that would, in either case, reasonably be anticipated to materially and adversely affect Telix’s ability to Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize Licensed Products in the Telix Field without Telix’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
10.6 Notice. In connection with any Claim for which an Indemnitee seeks indemnification from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall: (i) notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in writing of such Claim; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its liability or obligation hereunder, except to the extent of any material prejudice as a direct result of such failure; (ii) reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim and the defense or settlement thereof at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; and (iii) permit the Indemnifying Party to control the defense and settlement of the Claim as set forth above.
10.7 Permission by Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee may not settle, consent to an adverse judgment, or make any admission as to liability or fault with respect to any Claim subject to indemnification without the express written permission of the Indemnifying Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except in the case of any settlement, consent, or admission that would reasonably be anticipated to adversely affect any Licensed Technology or either Party’s ability to Develop or Commercialize Licensed Products or, in the case of Xxxxx being the Indemnifying Party, the Licensed Antibody, which shall, in each case, require the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.
10.8 Telix Parent Guarantee. For any period of time following the Effective Date during which Telix Parent is an Affiliate of Telix, Telix Parent hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to Xxxxx Xxxxx’x, and each of Telix’s applicable Affiliates’, compliance with, and performance of, Telix’s obligations under, this Agreement. Telix Parent expressly waives any requirement that Xxxxx exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Telix or any Affiliate thereof for any obligation or performance hereunder. With the exception of the rights expressly granted to Xxxxx in this Section 10.8, nothing expressed or implied from this Section 10.8 is intended to or shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than Lilly any legal or equitable rights, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Section 10.8, and this Section 10.8 is intended to be and is for the sole and exclusive benefit of Xxxxx. For clarity, the foregoing two sentences shall not be interpreted as limiting the ability of any successor or permitted assign of Xxxxx to exercise Xxxxx’x rights pursuant to this Section 10.8. Telix Parent shall not have any right, as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or due to its execution of this Agreement for purposes of providing Lilly the rights described under this Section 10.8, to pursue any legal or equitable claim against Xxxxx or any Affiliate thereof under this Agreement.

Such cooperation includes, but is not limited to: (a) executing all papers and instruments, or requiring its employees or contractors, to execute such papers and instruments, that may be reasonably required so as to enable the other Party to Prosecute patent applications in any country as permitted by Section 11.2; and (b) promptly informing the other Party of any request for, or filing or declaration of, any interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination, revocation, inter partes review, post-grant review, post-grant proceeding or similar proceeding relating to any Licensed Patent, Telix Patent, or Joint New Patents received by the Party.
11.4 Enforcement and Defense of Patent Rights
(a) Licensed Patents Other than Joint New Patents.
(i) Notice. If either Party becomes aware of any actual, potential or alleged infringement of any Licensed Patent that is not a Joint New Patent by the actions of a Third Party in connection with Licensed Product (or the use or manufacture of any of the foregoing) in the Telix Field (a “Licensed Patent Infringement”) or revocation, invalidation, opposition proceedings, reexamination proceedings, inter partes review proceedings, declaratory judgment or similar legal actions seeking to invalidate or hold any Licensed Patent (other than a Joint New Patent) unenforceable, whether in the context of a counterclaim in a legal action alleging an Licensed Patent Infringement or otherwise (such an action, a “Licensed Patent Challenge”), such Party shall give to the other Party prompt and reasonably detailed written notice of such actual, potential or alleged Licensed Patent Infringement or Licensed Patent Challenge. This Section 11.4(a) sets forth the rights of the Parties to commence, prosecute, and/or undertake an action relating to such Licensed Patent Infringement (an “Offensive Licensed Patent Action”) or defense related to any Licensed Patent Challenge (such defense, a “Defensive Licensed Patent Action”). Xxxxx’x rights under this Section 11.4(a) may be exercised by its Affiliates or its or their licensees or sublicensees.
(ii) Right to Bring an Offensive Infringement Action. Xxxxx shall have the initial right, but not the obligation, to commence, undertake or prosecute any Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action or, subject to Section 11.4(a)(vii), negotiate or enter into any settlement or voluntary disposition of an Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action. If Xxxxx has not exercised its first right to commence, undertake or prosecute an Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action with respect to any Licensed Patent Infringement within [**] of receipt of notice from Telix of the applicable Licensed Patent Infringement, Telix may, by written notice to Lilly, commence, undertake or prosecute such action (either such Party who commences, undertakes or prosecutes such action or defense in accordance with this subsection (ii), the “Licensed Patent Commencing Party”). At the Licensed Patent Commencing Party’s request, the non-Licensed Patent Commencing Party shall provide the Licensed Patent Commencing Party with all relevant documentation (as may be requested by the Licensed Patent Commencing Party) evidencing that the Licensed Patent Commencing Party is validly empowered by the non-Licensed Patent Commencing Party to initiate an Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action. The non-Licensed Patent Commencing Party shall join the Licensed Patent Commencing Party in its Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action if the Licensed Patent Commencing Party reasonably determines that this is necessary to demonstrate “standing to sue”, at the Licensed Patent Commencing Party’s cost and expense. The Licensed Patent Commencing Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to this Section 11.4(a)(ii) (but not the non- Licensed Patent Commencing Party’s counsel).
(iii) Right to Control a Defensive Action. Xxxxx shall have the initial right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any Defensive Licensed Patent Action. If Xxxxx does not intend to exercise its first right to defend a Defensive Licensed Patent Action within the earlier of (1) [**] of receipt of notice of the applicable Licensed Patent Challenge and (2) [**] before the deadline for filing of a response to the notice of the applicable Licensed Patent Challenge (including any extensions that Xxxxx has obtained), it shall within [**] notify Telix in writing and Telix may, by written notice to Xxxxx, defend and control such Defensive Licensed Patent Action (either such Party who defends such action or defense under this sentence, the “Licensed Patent Defending Party”). At the Licensed Patent Defending Party’s request, the non-Licensed Patent Defending Party shall provide the Licensed Patent Defending Party with all relevant documentation (as may be requested by the Licensed Patent Defending Party) evidencing that the Licensed Patent Defending Party is validly empowered by the non-Licensed Patent Defending Party to defend such Defensive Licensed Patent Action. The non-Licensed Patent Defending Party shall join the Licensed Patent Defending Party in its such Defensive Licensed Patent Action if the Licensed Patent Defending Party reasonably determines that this is necessary to demonstrate “standing to defend” at the Licensed Patent Defending Party’s cost and expense. Where one Party is the Licensed Patent Defending Party in a Defensive Licensed Patent Action which has arisen as a counterclaim in an Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action for which the other Party is the Licensed Patent Commencing Party, the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in good faith to work closely together and consult with each other as to strategy in such proceedings. The Licensed Patent Defending Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any claim defended by it pursuant to this Section 11.4(a)(iii) (but not the non-Licensed Patent Defending Party’s counsel).
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, in the event Lilly determines in its sole discretion that providing control to Telix to prosecute an Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement or to defend a Defensive Licensed Patent Action could have a detrimental impact on Lilly’s and its Affiliates’ intellectual property interests, including those relating to the Licensed Antibody, any product incorporating the foregoing, any Companion Diagnostic, any Lilly Product, or Lilly’s, its Affiliates’, or any of its or their licensees’ or sublicensees’ research, development, manufacture, or commercialization of any other products or services, then the provisions of this Section 11.4(a) shall not require Xxxxx to xxxxx such control to Telix as contemplated hereby.
(v) Nonenforcement. In the event Xxxxx in its sole discretion elects not to prosecute an Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement or to defend a Defensive Licensed Patent Action of any of the Licensed Patents other than Joint New Patents under this Section 11.4(a) and elects not to allow Telix to prosecute such an Offensive Licensed Patent Action or to defend such a Defensive Licensed Patent Action pursuant to Section 11.4(a)(iv), then all of the claims of any such non-enforced Licensed Patent shall no longer be Valid Claims of such Licensed Patent for any purpose under this Agreement.
(vi) Costs and Expenses of an Action. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 11.4(a)(ix), the Licensed Patent Commencing Party shall pay its own costs and expenses, and those out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the non-Licensed Patent Commencing Party for assistance requested by the Licensed Patent Commencing Party, incurred in connection with such Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action or Defensive Licensed Patent Action.
(vii) Settlement. No Party shall (1) settle or otherwise compromise (or resolve by consent to the entry of judgment upon) any Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action or Defensive Licensed Patent Action (x) by admitting that any Licensed Patent Right is to any extent invalid or unenforceable or dedicating to the public or abandoning any Licensed Patent Right or (y) in a manner that would entail payment by the other Party or any Affiliate thereof or materially adversely affect the rights of the other Party or any Affiliate thereof under any Licensed Patent, without, in the case of (x) or (y), the other Party’s prior written consent, or (2) enter into any settlement (or consent to the entry of a judgment) with respect to any Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action or Defensive Licensed Patent Action that entails any license to, or covenant not to sue with respect to, any Licensed Patent that would conflict with either Party’s rights thereunder, without the other Party’s prior written consent.
(viii) Reasonable Assistance. Each Party (if it is not the Licensed Patent Commencing Party or Licensed Patent Defending Party with respect to Licensed Patent Rights, as applicable) shall provide reasonable assistance to the other Party with respect to any matter subject to this Section 11.4(a), including [**], subject to the other Party’s reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on an on-going basis by the non-Licensed Patent Commencing Party or non-Licensed Patent Defending Party in providing such assistance.
(ix) Distribution of Amounts Recovered. Any amounts recovered by the Licensed Patent Commencing Party or Licensed Patent Defending Party pursuant to this Section 11.4(a), whether by settlement or judgment, shall be allocated in the following order:
(1) to reimburse the non-Licensed Patent Commencing Party or non-Licensed Patent Defending Party, as applicable, for its reasonable costs incurred in connection with such Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action or Defensive Licensed Patent Action;
(2) to reimburse the Licensed Patent Commencing Party or Licensed Patent Defending Party, as applicable, for any reasonable costs incurred in connection with an Offensive Licensed Patent Infringement Action or Defensive Licensed Patent Action;
(3) if Xxxxx (or any Affiliate thereof) is the Licensed Patent Commencing Party or Licensed Patent Defending Party, as applicable, the remaining amount of such recovery received with respect to any infringement of Telix’s exclusive rights to Licensed Patents (other than Joint New Patents) under Section 3.1, and, if Xxxxx has exercised its Option, not received with respect to any infringement of any Licensed Patents (other than Joint New Patents) with respect to any Companion Diagnostic, shall be allocated as follows [**] percent ([**]%) of such recovery shall be retained by Xxxxx and [**] percent ([**]%) of such recovery shall be paid to Telix;
(4) if Telix (or any Affiliate thereof) is the Licensed Patent Commencing Party or Licensed Patent Defending Party, as applicable, the remaining amount of such recovery received with respect to any infringement of Telix’s exclusive rights to Licensed Patents (other than Joint New Patents) under Section 3.1, and, if Xxxxx has exercised its Option, not received with respect to any infringement of any Licensed Patents (other than Joint New Patents) with respect to any Companion Diagnostic shall be allocated [**] percent ([**]%) to Telix and [**] percent ([**]%) to Lilly; and
(5) the remaining amount of any such recovery that is (i) received with respect to any infringement of Licensed Patents (other than Joint New Patents) that is not an infringement of Telix’s exclusive rights thereto under Section 3.1 or (ii) received with respect to any infringement of any Licensed Patents (other than Joint New Patents) with respect to any Companion Diagnostic following Xxxx’s exercise of its Option shall be retained by Xxxxx.
(b) Telix Patents and Telix Radiodiagnostic Patents Other than Joint New Patents.
(i) Effectiveness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 11.4(b) shall only be effective following Xxxxx’x exercise of its Option. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to Xxxxx’x exercise of its Option, Telix shall have and retain sole control among the parties over enforcement and defense of Telix Patents and Telix Radiodiagnostic Patents other than, in either case, Joint New Patents.
(ii) Notice. If either Party becomes aware of any actual, potential or alleged infringement of any Telix Patent or Telix Radiodiagnostic Patent, other than in either case, a Joint New Patent, by the actions of a Third Party in connection with any Licensed Product (or the use or manufacture of any of the foregoing) (a “Telix Patent Infringement”) or revocation, invalidation, opposition proceedings, reexamination proceedings, inter partes review proceedings, declaratory judgment or similar legal actions seeking to invalidate or hold any Telix Patent or Telix Radiodiagnostic Patent, other than in either case, a Joint New Patent, unenforceable, whether in the context of a counterclaim in a legal action alleging an Telix Patent Infringement or otherwise (such an action, a “Telix Patent Challenge”), such Party shall give to the other Party prompt and reasonably detailed written notice of such actual, potential or alleged Telix Patent Infringement or Telix Patent Challenge. This Section 11.4(b) sets forth the rights of the Parties to commence, prosecute, and/or undertake an action relating to such Telix Patent Infringement (an “Offensive Telix Patent Action”) or defense related to any Telix Patent Challenge (such defense, a “Defensive Telix Patent Action”). Lilly’s rights under this Section 11.4(b) may be exercised by its Affiliates or its or their licensees or sublicensees.
(iii) Right to Bring an Offensive Infringement Action.
(1) Telix’s Rights. Subject to Section 11.4(b)(iii)(2), Telix shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to commence, undertake or prosecute any Offensive Telix Patent Action or, subject to Section 11.4(b)(viii), negotiate or enter into any settlement or voluntary disposition of an Offensive Telix Patent Action.
(2) Xxxxx’x Rights. If Lilly exercises its Option, Xxxxx shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to commence, undertake or prosecute any Offensive Telix Patent Action or, subject to Section 11.4(b)(viii), negotiate or enter into any settlement or voluntary disposition of an Offensive Telix Patent Action, with respect to, in either case, infringement of the exclusive rights with respect to Companion Diagnostics granted under Section 3.4(b). At Xxxxx’x request, Telix shall provide Xxxxx with all relevant documentation (as may be requested by Xxxxx) evidencing that Xxxxx is validly empowered to initiate an Offensive Lilly Patent Action. Telix shall join Lilly in its such Offensive Lilly Patent Infringement Action if Xxxxx reasonably determines that this is necessary to demonstrate “standing to sue”, at Xxxxx’x cost and expense. Xxxxx shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to this Section 11.4(b)(iii)(2). If Xxxxx has not exercised its first right to commence, undertake or prosecute such an Offensive Telix Patent Action within [**] of receipt of notice from Telix of the applicable Telix Patent Infringement, Telix may, by written notice to Xxxxx, commence, undertake or prosecute such action to the extent to which it directly relates to a Telix Patent Infringement of a Telix Patent or Telix Radiodiagnostic Patent (either such Party who commences, undertakes or prosecutes an Offensive Telix Patent Action under Section 11.4(b)(iii)(l) or this Section 11.4(b)(iii)(2), the “Telix Commencing Party”).
(3) Process. At the Telix Commencing Party’s request, the non-Telix Commencing Party shall provide the Telix Commencing Party with all relevant documentation (as may be requested by the Telix Commencing Party) evidencing that the Telix Commencing Party is validly empowered by the non-Telix Commencing Party to initiate an Offensive Telix Patent Action. The non-Telix Commencing Party shall join the Telix Commencing Party in its Offensive Telix Patent Action if the Telix Commencing Party reasonably determines that this is necessary to demonstrate “standing to sue”, at the Telix Commencing Party’s cost and expense. The Telix Commencing Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to Section 11.4(b)(iii)(l) or 11.4(b)(iii)(2) (but not the non-Telix Commencing Party’s counsel).
(iv) Right to Control a Defensive Action.
(1) By Telix. Subject to Sections 11.4(b)(iv)(2) and Section 11.4(b)(viii), Telix shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any Defensive Telix Patent Action.
(2) By Xxxxx. If Xxxxx exercises its Option, Xxxxx shall, subject to Section 11.4(b)(viii), have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any Defensive Telix Patent Action relating to Xxxxx’x rights to Companion Diagnostics under Section 3.4(b). If Xxxxx does not intend to exercise its first right to defend such a Defensive Telix Patent Action within the earlier of (i) [**] of receipt of notice of the applicable Telix Patent Challenge and (ii) [**] before the deadline for filing of a response to the notice of the applicable Telix Patent Challenge (including any extensions that Xxxxx has obtained), it shall, within [**], notify Telix in writing and Telix may, by written notice to Xxxxx, defend and control such Defensive Telix Patent Action with respect to the applicable Telix Patent Challenge (a Party who defends a Defensive Telix Patent Action under Section 11.4(b)(iv)(l) or this Section 11.4(b)(iv)(2), the “Telix Defending Party”).
(3) Process. At the Telix Defending Party’s request, the non-Telix Defending Party shall provide the Telix Defending Party with all relevant documentation (as may be requested by the Telix Defending Party) evidencing that the Telix Defending Party is validly empowered by the non-Telix Defending Party to defend such Defensive Telix Patent Action. The non-Telix Defending Party shall join the Telix Defending Party in its such Defensive Telix Patent Action if the Telix Defending Party reasonably determines that this is necessary to demonstrate “standing to defend” at the Defending Party’s cost and expense. Where Telix is the Telix Defending Party in such a Defensive Telix Patent Action which has arisen as a counterclaim in an Offensive Infringement Suit for which Xxxxx is the Telix Commencing Party, the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in good faith to work closely together and consult with each other as to strategy in such proceedings. The Telix Defending Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any claim defended by it pursuant to Section 11.4(b)(iv)(l) or Section 11.4(b)(iv)(2) (but not the non-Telix Defending Party’s counsel).

(vi) Reasonable Assistance. The Party that is not the Telix Commencing Party or Telix Defending Party shall provide reasonable assistance to the Telix Commencing Party or Telix Defending Party, including [**], subject to the Telix Commencing Party’s or Telix Defending Party’s reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the other Party in providing such assistance.
(vii) Distribution of Amounts Recovered. Any amounts recovered by Telix or an Affiliate thereof with respect to any Telix Patent Infringement, whether by settlement or judgment, shall be allocated in the following order:
(1) to reimburse the Telix Commencing Party or Telix Defending Party, respectively, for its costs incurred in connection with such Offensive Telix Patent Action or Defensive Telix Patent Action, respectively;
(2) to reimburse the Party that is not the Telix Commencing Party or Telix Defending Party, respectively, for any reasonable costs incurred in connection with assisting the Telix Commencing Party or Telix Defending Party, respectively, as requested thereby, with respect to an Offensive Telix Patent Action or Defensive Telix Patent Action, respectively;
(3) the remaining amount of such recovery received with respect to any Telix Patent Infringement, and, if Xxxxx has exercised its Option, not received with respect to any infringement of any Telix Patents or Telix Radiodiagnostic Patents (other than Joint New Patents) with respect to any Companion Diagnostic, shall be allocated as follows [**] percent ([**]%) of such recovery shall be retained by Telix (or the applicable Telix Related Party), [**] percent ([**]%) of such recovery shall be paid to Lilly;
(4) the remaining amount of such recovery received with respect to any Telix Patent Infringement with respect to any Companion Diagnostic shall, if Xxxxx has exercised its Option, be allocated as follows:
a. if Lilly is the Telix Commencing Party, [**] percent ([**]%) of such recovery shall be retained by Xxxxx (or the applicable Lilly Related Party) and [**] percent ([**]%) of such recovery shall be paid to Telix; and
b. if Telix is the Telix Commencing Party, [**] percent ([**]%) of such recovery shall be retained by Telix (or the applicable Telix Related Party) and [**] percent ([**]%) of such recovery shall be paid to Lilly; and
(5) the remaining amount of such recovery received with respect to Telix Patents or Telix Radiodiagnostic Patents (other than Joint New Patents) shall be retained by Telix.
(viii) Settlement. If Xxxxx has exercised its Option, Telix shall not (1) settle or otherwise compromise (or resolve by consent to the entry of judgment upon) any Offensive Telix Patent Infringement Action or Defensive Telix Patent Action (x) by admitting that any Telix Patent or Telix Radiodiagnostic Patent is to any extent invalid or unenforceable or dedicating to the public or abandoning any Telix Patent or Telix Radiodiagnostic Patent or (y) in a manner that would entail payment by Xxxxx or materially adversely affect the rights of Xxxxx under this Agreement with respect to Companion Diagnostics, without, in the case of (x) or (y), Xxxxx’x prior written consent, or (2) enter into any settlement (or consent to the entry of a judgment) with respect to any Offensive Telix Patent Infringement Action or Defensive Telix Patent Action that entails any license to, or covenant not to sue with respect to, any Telix Radiodiagnostic IP that would grant any Third Party any rights to manufacture, use, sell or otherwise commercialize any Companion Diagnostic, without Xxxxx’x prior written consent.
(c) Joint New Patents.
(i) Notice. If either Party becomes aware of any actual, potential or alleged infringement of any Joint New Patent by the actions of a Third Party (a “Joint New Patent Infringement”) or revocation, invalidation, opposition proceedings, reexamination proceedings, inter partes review proceedings, declaratory judgment or similar legal actions seeking to invalidate or hold any Joint New Patent unenforceable, whether in the context of a counterclaim in a legal action alleging an Joint New Patent Infringement or otherwise (such an action, a “Joint New Patent Challenge”), such Party shall give to the other Party prompt and reasonably detailed written notice of such actual, potential or alleged Joint New Patent Infringement or Joint New Patent Challenge. This Section 11.4(c) sets forth the rights of the Parties to commence, prosecute, and/or undertake an action relating to such Joint New Patent Infringement (an “Offensive Joint New Patent Action”) or defense related to any Joint New Patent Challenge (such defense, a “Defensive Joint New Patent Action”). Lilly’s rights under this Section 11.4(c) may be exercised by its Affiliates or its or their licensees or sublicensees.

If Telix has not exercised its first right to commence, undertake or prosecute an Offensive Joint New Patent Infringement Action with respect to any Joint New Patent Infringement within [**] of receipt of notice from Lilly of the applicable Joint New Patent Infringement, Lilly may, by written notice to Telix, commence, undertake or prosecute such action (either such Party who commences, undertakes or prosecutes such action, pursuant to this Section 11.4(c)(ii)(l) or 11.4(c)(ii)(2), the “Joint Commencing Party”).
(2) Lilly Option Exercise. If Lilly exercises its Option, Xxxxx shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to commence, undertake or prosecute any Offensive Joint New Patent Infringement Action or, subject to Section 11.4(c)(v), negotiate or enter into any settlement or voluntary disposition of an Offensive Joint New Patent Infringement Action, with respect to, in either case, infringement of the exclusive rights with respect to Companion Diagnostics granted under Section 3.4(b). At Xxxxx’x request, Telix shall provide Lilly with all relevant documentation (as may be requested by Xxxxx) evidencing that Xxxxx is validly empowered to initiate an Offensive Joint New Patent Infringement Action. Telix shall join Lilly in its such Offensive Joint New Patent Infringement Action if Xxxxx reasonably determines that this is necessary to demonstrate “standing to sue”, at Xxxxx’x cost and expense. Xxxxx shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to this Section 11.4(b)(iii)(2). If Xxxxx has not exercised its first right to commence, undertake or prosecute such an Offensive Joint New Patent Infringement Action within [**] of receipt of notice from Telix of the applicable Joint New Patent Infringement, Telix may, by written notice to Xxxxx, commence, undertake or prosecute such action to the extent to which it directly relates to a Joint New Patent Infringement.

The non-Joint Commencing Party shall join the Joint Commencing Party in its Offensive Joint New Patent Infringement Action if the Joint Commencing Party reasonably determines that this is necessary to demonstrate “standing to sue”, at the Joint Commencing Party’s cost and expense. The Joint Commencing Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to this Section 11.4(c)(ii) (but not the non-Joint Commencing Party’s counsel).
(iii) Right to Control a Defensive Action.
(1) No Lilly Option Exercise. Subject to Section 11.4(c)(iii)(2), Telix shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any Defensive Joint New Patent Action. If Telix does not intend to exercise its first right to defend a Defensive Joint New Patent Action within the earlier of (1) [**] of receipt of notice of the applicable Joint New Patent Challenge and (2) [**] before the deadline for filing of a response to the notice of the applicable Joint New Patent Challenge (including any extensions that Telix has obtained), it shall within [**] notify Lilly in writing and Lilly may, by written notice to Telix, defend and control such Defensive Joint New Patent Action (either such Party who defends such action or defense under this Section 11.4(c)(iii)(l) or Section 11.4(c)(iii)(2), the “Joint Defending Party”).
(2) Lilly Option Exercise. If Lilly exercises its Option, Xxxxx shall, subject to Section 11.4(c)(v), have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any Defensive Joint New Patent Action relating to Xxxxx’x rights to Companion Diagnostics under Section 3.4(b). If Xxxxx does not intend to exercise its first right to defend such a Defensive Joint New Patent Action within the earlier of (i) [**] of receipt of notice of the applicable Joint New Patent Challenge and (ii) [**] before the deadline for filing of a response to the notice of the applicable Joint New Patent Challenge (including any extensions that Xxxxx has obtained), it shall, within [**], notify Telix in writing and Telix may, by written notice to Xxxxx, defend and control such Defensive Joint New Patent Action with respect to the applicable Joint New Patent Challenge.

The non-Joint Defending Party shall join the Joint Defending Party in its such Defensive Joint New Patent Action if the Joint Defending Party reasonably determines that this is necessary to demonstrate “standing to defend” at the Joint Defending Party’s cost and expense. Where one Party is the Joint Defending Party in a Defensive Joint New Patent Action which has arisen as a counterclaim in an Offensive Joint New Patent Infringement Action for which the other Party is the Joint Commencing Party, the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in good faith to work closely together and consult with each other as to strategy in such proceedings. The Joint Defending Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any claim defended by it pursuant to this Section 11.4(c)(iii) (but not the non-Joint Defending Party’s counsel).

If a case is commenced by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Laws and the other Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in the Bankruptcy Laws, then the Party subject to such case under the Bankruptcy Laws (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), shall provide to the other Party copies of all information necessary for such other Party to prosecute, maintain and enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement promptly upon such other Party’s written request therefor.

Except as provided in this Section 13.7, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the consent of the other Party; provided, however, that (and notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary) either Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement (and its rights and obligations hereunder) (i) to an Affiliate of such Party, provided such Party remains primarily liable for any acts or omissions of such Affiliate, or (ii) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or business (or that portion thereof related to the subject matter of this Agreement), merger, consolidation, change of control, or similar transaction. If Telix is the assigning Party, the assignee shall agree in a writing that is in form and substance acceptable to Lilly in its sole discretion to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
