Furthermore, the Cell Line Derivatives may be used by Roche solely in connection with the genes encoding antibodies developed or provided by PDL.
(c) PDL MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CELL LINES DELIVERED UNDER THE 1989 AGREEMENTS OR CELL LINE DERIVATIVES USED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. FOR CLARITY, PDL MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND THAT THE USE OF THE CELL LINES DELIVERED TO ROCHE OR THE CELL LINE DERIVATIVES WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT OR OTHER RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
X. OWNERSHIP OF TECHNOLOGY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
10.1 PDL Technology. Ownership of the PDL Know-How and PDL Patents shall remain vested at all times in PDL. PDL expressly reserves under this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement all rights to use the PDL Know-How, PDL’s rights under any Joint Roche-PDL Patents, and PDL Patents (i) to make, have made, use, import, offer to sell and sell anywhere in the world all products within the Field (but excluding Nutley Dac for use in Transplant Induction) and other than any Excluded Product or any other product in the Excluded Field; and (ii) for all uses outside of the Field. Following the end of the Commercialization Term, PDL shall have the right to use such technology for any and all purposes other than products in the Excluded Field, which right shall be exclusive to Roche except as provided in Section 10.2.
10.2 Joint Inventions and Joint Roche-PDL Patents. Subject to Article XI, ownership of Joint Inventions and Joint Roche-PDL Patents shall be vested jointly in PDL and Roche. Both parties shall at all times have the co-exclusive right within the Territory to practice, or to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale or sell any Joint Invention outside the Field under any Joint Roche-PDL Patent, and neither party shall be obligated to account to the other. Until the end of the Commercialization Term, each party shall have the co-exclusive right to practice, and to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale or sell any Joint Invention in the Field under any Joint Roche-PDL Patent, subject to the license grants set forth in Article II. Following the expiration of the Commercialization Term, the following shall occur: (a) PDL shall have the exclusive right to practice, and to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale or sell any Joint Invention in the Field (but not in the Excluded Field) under any Joint Roche-PDL Patent, and (b) Roche shall have the exclusive right to practice, and to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale or sell any Joint Invention solely in the Excluded Field, in each case, without restriction
26. | CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
and without any obligation to account to the other party. As used herein, a right to practice any Joint Roche-PDL Patent for a particular purpose shall include the right to grant licenses for such purpose without the consent of the other party. To the extent either party needs the consent of the other party to exploit its co-exclusive or exclusive rights with respect to Joint Roche-PDL Patents, including the right to sublicense or enforce such Joint Roche-PDL Patents, the other party shall cooperate with the party making such a request and promptly supply all needed consents, signatures and the like.
10.3 Roche Technology. PDL hereby acknowledges that, except as expressly provided herein, this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement does not grant PDL any ownership rights in the Roche Inventions, Roche Patents and Roche Know-How. Roche hereby confirms the rights of PDL to certain license grants to Roche Patents and Roche Know-How as provided in Section 2.2 of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement.
10.4 Trademarks.
(a) Until the end of the Commercialization Term and except as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, Roche shall exclusively own all Trademarks, and the exclusive right to use them in the Roche Territory in connection with the marketing and promotion of Nutley Dac for Transplant Induction. Roche shall have no right to use the Trademarks, or any other marks confusingly similar to the Trademarks, in connection with the promotion, sale or marketing of any other product, including any Excluded Product.
(b) PDL shall have the right to select any and all AI Trademarks; provided such AI Trademarks are not confusingly similar to the Trademarks (unless otherwise agreed), and PDL shall retain ownership of the AI Trademarks and the exclusive right to use them in connection with the promotion, marketing and sale of Daclizumab.
(c) Each party shall be responsible for selection, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of its own trademarks, and shall indemnify and defend the other from any Third Party claims arising from the indemnifying party’s use of such marks.
XI. PATENT PROSECUTION
11.1 Sole PDL Patents and Roche Owned Patents.
(a) PDL agrees to prosecute and reasonably maintain all of the patents and applications included within the Sole PDL Patents, to the extent it has the rights to do so, and Roche agrees to prosecute and reasonably maintain the Roche Owned Patents, to the extent it has the rights to do so from any co-owner of such Roche Owned Patents. The parties agree and acknowledge that the Roche Owned Patents listed on Schedule 2.8(a) are co-owned by Roche and a Third Party, and are governed by the [****] (the “Joint Patent Agreement”) which provides,
**** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
27. | CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
among other things, that Roche undertake certain obligations in order to continue to maintain [****] in the Roche Owned Patent. Promptly after the Effective Date, to the extent that Roche is permitted to do so, Roche shall provide to PDL a copy of the Joint Patent Agreement, and the Roche Owned Patent for PDL’s review such that PDL may determine whether and to what extent, it intends that such Joint Patent Agreement and Roche Owned Patent be assigned to PDL either upon the expiration of the Commercialization Term or at some mutually agreed earlier date.
(b) The party responsible for such patent (“Responsible Party”) shall bear all costs and expenses for such prosecution and maintenance. On the reasonable request of the Responsible Party, the other party shall cooperate, in all reasonable ways, in connection with the prosecution of all patent applications included within the Sole PDL Patents or Roche Owned Patents, as the case may be. Should the Responsible Party decide that it is no longer interested in maintaining or prosecuting a Sole PDL Patent or Roche Owned Patent, as the case may be, it shall promptly advise the other party thereof and, at the request of such other party, PDL and Roche shall negotiate in good faith to determine an appropriate course of action in the interests of both parties; provided, however, that Roche shall not have any rights to prosecute any Sole PDL Patent in any country in which Roche is not marketing Nutley Dac. If any Sole PDL Patents are assigned to Roche, Roche will thereafter prosecute and reasonably maintain such Sole PDL Patents at Roche’s own cost to the extent that Roche desires to do so, provided that to the extent such Sole PDL Patent contains claims outside the Excluded Field, PDL and its Affiliates shall have a worldwide immunity from suit thereunder. If Roche’s interest in any Roche Owned Patents is assigned to PDL, PDL will thereafter prosecute and reasonably maintain such Roche Owned Patent at PDL’s own cost to the extent that PDL desires to do so, provided that to the extent such Roche Owned Patent contains claims outside the Field, Roche and its Affiliates shall have a worldwide immunity from suit thereunder. In the event Roche’s interest in the Roche Owned Patents is assigned to PDL pursuant to Section 5.2(e), Roche shall have no further rights with respect thereto under this Section 11.1 except those set forth in the penultimate sentence of this Section 11.1.
11.2 Joint Inventions.
(a) [****] will have the first right of election to file priority patent applications for Joint Inventions in any country in the world. If [****] declines to file such applications then [****] may do so.
(b) The party not performing the priority patent filings for Joint Inventions pursuant to this Section 11.2 undertakes without cost to the filing party to obtain all necessary assignment documents for the filing party, to render all signatures that shall be necessary for such patent filings and to assist the filing party in all other reasonable ways that are necessary for the issuance of the patents involved as well as for the maintenance and prosecution of such patents. The party not performing the patent filings shall on request be authorized by the other party to have access to the files concerning such patents in any patent offices in the world.

(c) The party performing the priority patent filings for Joint Inventions pursuant to this Section 11.2 undertakes to perform, at its cost and expense, the corresponding convention filings from case to case, after having discussed the countries for foreign filings with the other party.
(d) Should the Responsible Party decide that it is no longer interested in maintaining or prosecuting a Joint Roche-PDL Patent, it shall promptly advise the other party thereof. On the written request of such other party, such Joint Roche-PDL Patent shall be assigned to the other party at no cost to the assignee. If any such patents or patent applications are assigned to Roche, they shall then be deemed to be a Sole Roche Patent and, to the extent such Joint Roche-PDL Patent contains claims outside the Excluded Field, PDL and its Affiliates shall have a worldwide immunity from suit thereunder. If any such patents or patent applications are assigned to PDL, they shall then be deemed to be a Sole PDL Patent and, to the extent such Joint Roche-PDL Patents contain claims outside the Field, Roche and its Affiliates shall have a worldwide immunity from suit thereunder.
11.3 Inventions Outside the Field. Inventions and other intellectual property made by either party outside the Field shall be excluded from the provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement and shall belong solely to the party having made the invention or other intellectual property.
11.4 Reimbursement for Costs of Patent Applications.
(a) No Reimbursement. [****] shall be responsible for all ex parte out-of-pocket expenses incurred by [****] after the Effective Date in connection with the prosecution and maintenance in the Territory of patent applications and patents included within the [****] Patents or Joint Roche-PDL Patents for which [****] makes filings pursuant to Article XI of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement.
(b) [****] Control. [****] shall have full control over the strategy and decisions with respect to its filing of any patent applications and patents in the Territory. [****] agrees to cooperate with and reasonably assist [****] in the preparation of any patent applications and the maintenance of any patents.
11.5 No Reimbursement for [****]’s Costs of Patent Applications. [****] shall be responsible for all ex parte out-of-pocket expenses incurred by [****] after the Effective Date in connection with the prosecution and maintenance in the Territory of patent applications and patents included within the [****] Owned Patents or Joint Roche-PDL Patents for which [****] makes filings pursuant to this Article XI of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement.

XII. ENFORCEMENT AND DEFENSE OF PATENTS
12.1 Sole Patents.
(a) Except for enforcement or revocation actions involving Sole PDL Patents or Roche Owned Patents outside the Field, in the event of any action against a Third Party for infringement of any claim in any issued patent within the Sole PDL Patents or Roche Owned Patents, as the case may be, or the institution by a Third Party of any proceedings for the revocation of any such claim, each party will notify the other promptly and, following such notification, the parties shall confer. [****] shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute such actions or to defend such proceedings involving the [****] at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. [****] shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute such actions or to defend such proceedings involving the [****] at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control.
(b) If a party with the first right hereunder elects not to prosecute any action for infringement or to defend any proceeding for revocation of any claims in any issued patent within the Sole PDL Patents (other than those Sole PDL Patents for which PDL [****]) or Roche Owned Patents (other than those Roche Owned Patents [****]), as the case may be, within [****] of being requested by the other party to do so, the other party may prosecute such action or defend such proceeding at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control.
(c) In any event, the party bringing an action (“Acting Party”) pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall solicit, and seriously consider in good faith the non-acting party’s input with respect to all material aspects of such action, including without limitation, the development of the litigation strategy and the execution thereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Acting Party shall keep the other party promptly and fully informed of the status of any such action, and the non-acting party shall have the right to review and comment on the Acting Party’s activities related thereto.
(d) Each party will reasonably assist the Acting Party in any such action or proceeding being prosecuted or defended by the Acting Party, if so requested by the Acting Party or required by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the non-acting party agrees to join such action or proceeding if required by law to maintain such action or proceeding. The Acting Party will pay or reimburse the assisting party for all costs, expenses and liabilities that the assisting party may incur or suffer in affording assistance to such actions or proceedings. No settlement of any such action or defense that restricts the scope or affects the enforceability of PDL Know-How or Sole PDL Patents may be entered into by either PDL (if it would affect Roche’s rights under this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement) or Roche without the prior consent of the other party hereto, [****]. No settlement of any such action or
**** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
30. | CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
defense that restricts the scope or affects the enforceability of Roche Know-How or Roche Owned Patents may be entered into by either PDL or Roche without the prior consent of the other party hereto (if it would affect the other party’s rights under this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement), [****].
(e) If either party elects to prosecute an action for infringement or to defend any proceedings for revocation of any claims pursuant to this Section 12.1 and subsequently ceases to continue or withdraws from such action or defense, it shall forthwith so notify the other party in writing and the other party may substitute itself for the withdrawing party and the parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Section 12.1 shall be reversed.
(f) As of the Amendment Effective Date, Roche’s right to prosecute an action under the Sole PDL Patents pursuant to Section 12.1(b) and any restrictions, obligations, or conditions on PDL’s prosecution of actions under the Sole PDL Patents set forth in Section 12.1(c), (d), or (e) shall apply only with respect to [****].
12.2 Joint Roche-PDL Patents. In the event of any action against a Third Party for infringement of any claim in any issued patent within the Joint Roche-PDL Patents, or the institution by a Third Party of any proceedings for the revocation of any such claim, each party will notify the other promptly and, following such notification, the parties shall confer to determine whether either or both parties shall control the prosecution or defense of such action or proceeding and who shall bear the costs thereof. If both parties wish to control the prosecution or defense of such action or proceeding and the parties are unable to reach agreement within [****] of the notification referred to above, then (a) with respect to alleged infringement in the [****], [****] shall have the exclusive right to bring such action or defend such proceeding at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction, (b) with respect to alleged infringement in the [****], [****] shall have the exclusive right to bring such action or defend such proceeding at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction; and (c) with respect to alleged infringement [****], [****] shall have the right to bring such action or defend such proceeding at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control; provided, however, that if both parties elect to prosecute or defend, each party shall bear its own expenses but both parties shall have equal control over such prosecution or defense. No settlement of any action or defense that restricts the scope or affects the enforceability of Joint Roche-PDL Patents may be entered into by either PDL or Roche without the prior consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Acting Party pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall solicit, and seriously consider in good faith the other party’s input with respect to all material aspects of such action, including without limitation, the development of the litigation strategy and the execution thereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Acting Party shall keep the other party promptly and fully informed of the status of any such action, and the other party shall have the right to review and comment on the Acting Party’s activities related thereto.

12.3 Distribution of Proceeds. In the event either party exercises the rights conferred in Section 12.1 or 12.2 hereof, and recovers any damages or other sums in such action, suit or proceeding or in settlement thereof, such damages or other sums recovered shall first be applied to reimburse the parties for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees necessarily involved in the prosecution and/or defense of any suit or proceeding and, if after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, said remaining recovery shall belong to [****]; provided, however, that any remaining recovery by the party exercising its rights for a Joint Roche-PDL Patent with respect to alleged infringement outside the Field shall be shared, with [****] of such remaining recovery to Roche and [****] of such remaining recovery to PDL.
12.4 Defense of Infringement Actions.
(a) Roche shall defend at its own cost any infringement suit that may be brought against PDL or Roche on account of the development, manufacture, production, use, importation, offer for sale, or sale of Nutley Dac or Excluded Products by Roche, and shall indemnify and hold PDL harmless against any such patent or other infringement suits, and any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and cost, that may be incurred by PDL therein or in settlement thereof. Any and all settlements that restrict the scope or enforceability of PDL Know-How or PDL Patents must be approved by PDL, in its sole and absolute discretion, before execution by Roche. Any and all settlements that restrict the scope or enforceability of Joint Roche-PDL Patents or Sole Roche Patents (other than those Sole Roche Patents co-owned by a Third Party) must be approved by PDL before execution by Roche, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. PDL shall not be required to approve any settlement that does not include as a condition thereof the granting to PDL of a full and unconditional release of claims.
(b) PDL shall defend at its own cost any infringement suit that may be brought against Roche or PDL on account of the development, manufacture, production, use, importation, offer for sale, or sale of Licensed Products by PDL, and shall indemnify and hold Roche harmless against any such patent or other infringement suits, and any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and cost, that may be incurred by Roche therein or in settlement thereof. Any and all settlements that restrict the scope or enforceability of Roche Know-How or Roche Patents must be approved by Roche, in its sole and absolute discretion, before execution by PDL. Any and all settlements that restrict the scope or enforceability of Joint Roche-PDL Patents must be approved by Roche before execution by PDL, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Roche shall not be required to approve any settlement that does not include as a condition thereof the granting to Roche of a full and unconditional release of claims.

All licenses then in effect under any Roche Know-How or PDL Know-How shall survive the expiration of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement and shall become fully-paid upon such expiration; provided, however, that any such licenses that were exclusive prior to expiration will convert to non-exclusive licenses upon such expiration.
13.2 Termination by Mutual Agreement. This Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement may be terminated by the written agreement of both parties.
13.3 Termination by PDL on Roche Default. If Roche defaults in the performance of, or fails to be in compliance with, any material agreement, condition or covenant of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement with respect to the rights PDL grants to Roche under Article II of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement, including royalties and consideration due from Roche to PDL under Article VII, then PDL may terminate any or all of the rights and licenses granted to Roche under Section 2.5 of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement at its option, at which time Roche’s right to promote, distribute and sell Nutley Dac in the Roche Territory shall terminate as though Roche had elected to end the Commercialization Term, with all the same effect as though that were the case. PDL shall have such right to so terminate Roche’s rights under this Section 13.3 only if such default or noncompliance shall not have been remedied, or steps initiated to remedy the same to PDL’s reasonable satisfaction, within [****] after receipt by Roche of a written notice thereof from PDL.
13.4 Voluntary Termination Of License by Roche.
(a) Roche shall have the right to voluntarily terminate its licenses under Section 2.5(a), on six (6) months written notice to PDL. On notice of such voluntary termination, Roche shall notify PDL of the amount of Daclizumab that Roche, its Affiliates, sublicensees and

distributors then have on hand (“Inventory”). Roche and its Affiliates, sublicensees and distributors shall thereupon be permitted to sell the Inventory, provided that PDL shall have the first option for a period not to exceed [****] to purchase all or part of the Inventory at [****]. If PDL fails to exercise its option to purchase all of the Inventory or for that part of the Inventory with respect to which the option is not exercised, then Roche will be free to sell such Inventory to Third Parties for a period not to exceed [****] from the termination of PDL’s option. In any event, Roche shall pay the royalties or other consideration due, if any, on the sale of such Inventory in the amounts and manner provided for in Articles VII and VIII.
(b) Roche shall have the right at any time during the term of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement, to voluntarily terminate its license granted under Section 2.5(b), on [****] written notice to PDL.

13.5 Return of Materials. On termination of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement in whole by both parties pursuant to Section 13.2, by PDL pursuant to Section 13.3, or by Roche pursuant to Section 13.4, Roche forthwith shall (a) return to PDL all cell lines and their progeny, antibodies and other biological materials provided by PDL under the 1989 Agreements; and (b) subject to Section 13.4, at PDL’s cost, shall deliver to PDL then available supplies of Daclizumab.
13.6 Rights and Obligations on Termination or Expiration.

35. | CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
between PDL and Roche in the Field, the party disclosing or submitting such a manuscript (“Disclosing Party”) shall send the other party (“Responding Party”) by expedited delivery a copy of the manuscript to be submitted and shall allow the Responding Party a reasonable time period (not to exceed [****] from the date of confirmed receipt) in which to determine whether the manuscript contains subject matter of which patent protection should be sought (prior to publication of such manuscript) for the purpose of protecting an invention, or whether the manuscript contains confidential information belonging to the Responding Party. After the expiration of [****] from the date of confirmed receipt of such manuscript, the Disclosing Party shall be free to submit such manuscript for publication and publish or otherwise disclose to the public such research results. Should the Responding Party believe the subject matter of the manuscript contains confidential information or a patentable invention of substantial commercial value to the Responding Party, then prior to the expiration of [****] from the date of confirmed receipt of such manuscript by the Responding Party, the Responding Party shall notify the Disclosing Party in writing of its determination that such manuscript contains such information or subject matter for which patent protection should be sought. On receipt of such written notice from the Responding Party, the Disclosing Party shall delay public disclosure of such information or submission of the manuscript for an additional period of [****] to permit preparation and filing of a patent application on the disclosed subject matter. The Disclosing Party shall thereafter be free to publish or disclose such information, except that the Disclosing Party may not disclose any confidential information of the Responding Party in violation of Sections 14.1 and 14.2 hereof. Determination of authorship for any paper or patent shall be in accordance with accepted scientific practice. Should any questions on authorship arise, this will be determined by good faith consultation between the respective heads of research for each of the parties.
(b) Clinical Studies. Unless the POC otherwise decides, PDL shall have the sole right to publish or otherwise publicly disclose, with or without the consent of Roche, the results of any scientific, preclinical and clinical data involving Daclizumab conducted by or on behalf of PDL or Roche or their Affiliates.
XV. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.1 Arbitration. Except as expressly provided herein, any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement or the breach or alleged breach thereof shall be submitted by the parties to arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in [****], under the commercial rules then in effect for that AAA except as provided herein. All proceedings shall be held in English and a transcribed record prepared in English. The parties shall choose, by mutual agreement, [****] within [****] of receipt of notice of the intent to arbitrate.

rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and judgment on such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties shall be entitled to discovery as provided in [****], whether or not the [****] is deemed to apply to said arbitration. Nothing in this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of the dispute as necessary to protect either party’s name, proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how or any other proprietary right. If the issues in dispute involve scientific or technical matters, any arbitrator chosen hereunder shall have educational training and/or experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of knowledge in the field of biotechnology. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

16.1 No Control. If either party shall be delayed, interrupted in or prevented from the performance of any obligation hereunder by reason of force majeure including an act of God, fire, flood, earthquake, war (declared or undeclared), public disaster, act of terrorism, strike or labor differences, governmental enactment, rule or regulation, or any other cause beyond such party’s control, such party shall not be liable to the other therefor; and the time for performance of such obligation shall be extended for a period equal to the duration of the force majeure which occasioned the delay, interruption or prevention. The party invoking such force majeure rights of this Section 16.1 must notify the other party by courier or overnight dispatch (e.g., Federal Express) within a period of fifteen (15) days of both the first and last day of the force majeure unless the force majeure renders such notification impossible in which case notification will be made as soon as possible. If the delay resulting from the force majeure exceeds six (6) months, both parties shall consult together to find an appropriate solution.

17.2 Assignment. Either party may assign this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement and the licenses herein granted (a) to any Affiliate of such party without the consent of the other party, provided that such party remains fully liable for the performance of such party’s obligations hereunder by such Affiliate, or (b) to any Third Party, on the prior written consent of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld; and (c) without the consent of the other party, to any Third Party purchaser of all or substantially all of the business unit to which this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement relates, which in the case of PDL, shall mean the Daclizumab business, and in the case of Roche, shall mean Roche’s therapeutic antibody business or transplant therapeutic business. The parties agree that it would be reasonable for a party to withhold consent to the other party’s proposed assignment of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement to an entity, that is, as of the time of such proposed assignment, [****] (in at least [****] with [****]), or [****] in [****] any [****] for [****]in any [****]. This Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
17.3 Entire Agreement. This Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement, the Reversion Agreement between X. Xxxxx and PDL dated March 4, 2002 (“Japan Reversion Agreement”), the Pharmacovigilance Agreement, and the Joint Defense Agreement dated June 20, 2000, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter herein and, effective on the Effective Date, supersede all previous agreements (including the Agreement and the 1999 Agreements), whether written or oral, such superseding resulting in, among other things, the licenses granted thereunder having no further force or effect and being replaced by the licenses set forth in Article II of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) certain provisions of the 1999 Agreements shall remain in force and effect, to the extent this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement so indicates by specific reference, and (b) any royalties or other payments accruing under the 1999 Agreements prior to the Effective Date shall remain due and payable. This Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement does not and will not supersede the Asthma/Transplant Agreement. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement and the Asthma/Transplant Agreement, the terms of the Asthma/Transplant Agreement shall take precedence over the terms of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement. This Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement shall not be changed or modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.
17.4 Releases. The parties hereby confirm the releases contained in Section 15.4 of the 1999 PDL/Roche Agreement and in Section 11.4 of the X. Xxxxx Agreement.
17.5 Severability. If any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement is declared invalid by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 15.1 or by a court of last

38. | CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
resort or by any court or other governmental body from the decision of which an appeal is not taken within the time provided by law, then and in such event, this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement will be deemed to have been terminated only as to the portion thereof that relates to the provision invalidated by that decision and only in the relevant jurisdiction, but this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement, in all other respects and all other jurisdictions, will remain in force; provided, however, that if the provision so invalidated is essential to the Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement as a whole, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the terms hereof as nearly as practical to carry out the original intent of the parties, and, failing such amendment, either party may submit the matter to arbitration for resolution pursuant to Section 15.1.
17.6 Indemnification.
(a) Roche agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless PDL, its trustees, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all Third Party suits, claims, acts, liabilities, demands, damages, expenses, and losses of any kind, including those resulting from death, personal injury, illness or property damage arising (i) out of the manufacture, distribution, use, testing, promotion, marketing or sale or other disposition, by Roche, an Affiliate of Roche, or any distributor, customer, sublicensee or representative of Roche or anyone in privity therewith (other than PDL), of (A) any Licensed Product, as defined in the 1999 Agreements, prior to the Effective Date, (B) Daclizumab or any Excluded Product on or after the Effective Date, or (C) any cell lines, their progeny, or other biological materials, method, process, device or apparatus licensed or provided by PDL pursuant to the 1989 Agreements, the 1999 Agreements or this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement; (ii) as a result of practicing a Joint Invention, or using PDL Know-How or PDL Patents licensed to Roche under this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement, except where such claim is based on the negligent acts of commission or omission of PDL; (iii) out of any breach by Roche of any representation, warranty or covenant of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement; (iv) out of any violation of applicable law by an action, policy or procedure of Roche or its Affiliates; or (v) out of any negligence or willful misconduct of Roche or its Affiliates.
(b) PDL agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Roche, its trustees, officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all Third Party suits, claims, actions, liabilities, demands, damages, expenses, and losses of any kind, including those resulting from death, personal injury, illness or property damage arising (i) out of the manufacture, distribution, use, testing, promotion, marketing or sale or other disposition, by PDL, an Affiliate of PDL, or any distributor, customer, sublicensee or representative of PDL or anyone in privity therewith (other than Roche), of (A) Daclizumab prior to the Effective Date, or (B) Daclizumab or any Other Licensed Product on or after the Effective Date, or (C) any biological materials, method, process, device or apparatus licensed or provided by Roche pursuant to this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement; (ii) as a result of practicing a Joint Invention, or using Roche Know-How or Roche Patents licensed to PDL under this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement, except where such claim is based on the negligent acts of commission or omission of Roche; (iii) out of any breach by PDL of any representation, warranty or covenant of this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement; (iv) out of any violation of applicable law by an action, policy or procedure of PDL or its Affiliates; (v) out of

(c) Procedure. In the event of a claim by a Third Party against a party entitled to indemnification under this Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement (“Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim and the Indemnifying Party shall undertake and solely manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, including, as requested by the Indemnifying Party and at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, entering into a joint defense agreement. The Indemnified Party may, at its option and expense, be represented in any such action or proceeding by counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim unless such settlement fully and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability relating thereto, unless the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing.
