21




(b)    If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee and the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee therefor, the Indemnitor will be entitled, within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnitee of the commencement or assertion of any such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof (at the expense of the Indemnitor) with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, for so long as the Indemnitor is conducting a good faith and diligent defense.  Should the Indemnitor so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if under applicable standards of professional conduct a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in respect of such claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor) to represent such Indemnitee with respect to the matters as to which a conflict of interest exists and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by such Indemnitor; provided, further, that the Indemnitor shall only be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for such Indemnitee.  If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor.

If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim within the one hundred twenty (120) day period set forth above, or if such good faith and diligent defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, after three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Indemnitor of its intent to do so, to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim for the account of the Indemnitor (with counsel selected by the Indemnitee), and to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, exercising reasonable business judgment; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if such compromise or settlement would result in an admission or liability or loss of right by the lndemnitor or payment by the Indemnitor.  The Indemnitor agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense, at the Indemnitor’s expense, including being joined as a necessary party.



22




(c)    If the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnitor may recommend that by its terms obligates the Indemnitor to pay the full amount of Losses (whether through settlement or otherwise) in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally and irrevocably releases the Indemnitee completely from all liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, the Indemnitor shall not consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment), and the Indemnitee may refuse in good faith to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge, that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief affecting the Indemnitee.  If the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not (unless required by law) admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
9.4    Insurance Proceeds.  Any indemnification hereunder shall be made net of any insurance proceeds recovered by the Indemnitee (it being understood that an Indemnitee may simultaneously pursue an insurance claim and a claim for indemnification hereunder); provided, however, that if, following the payment to the Indemnitee of any amount under this Article 9, such Indemnitee recovers any insurance proceeds in respect of the claim for which such indemnification payment was made, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds (but not exceeding the amount of such indemnification payment) to the indemnifying Party.
9.5    Insurance.  Each Party agrees to obtain and maintain commercial general liability insurance of [ * ]  Each Party shall maintain such insurance for so long as the Current Product in the Territory continues to be manufactured or sold and thereafter for so long as is necessary to cover any and all Third Party Claims which may arise from the development, manufacture or sale of Current Products in the Territory.  Upon reasonable request by a Party, the other Party shall produce evidence that such insurance policies are valid, kept up to date and in full force and effect.
9.6    Limitation of Liability.  IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR THEIR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE OR OBLIGATED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ANY MANNER FOR ANY SPECIAL, NON-COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, STATUTORY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND LOST REVENUE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF OR AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE, PROVIDED THAT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY (I) FOR A MATERIAL BREACH OF ARTICLE 8 AND/OR (II) TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY CONSTITUTES A “LOSS” IN CONNECTION WITH SECTIONS 9.1, 9.2 AND/OR 9.3.

11.4    Infringement or Third Party Rights.
(a)    Infringement Claims.  With respect to any and all claims instituted by Third Parties for patent infringement involving the manufacture, use, offer for sale or sale of an Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory during the Term, Licensee shall promptly notify Teikoku of such claim and the Parties shall discuss in good faith such infringement and determine the best course of action.  If the Parties cannot agree on the best course of action after such good faith discussions and Licensee in good faith believes that the claim is significant and adverse to the manufacture, use, offer for sale or sale of an Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory during the Term, then Licensee may proceed with what it deems to be the best course of action in its good faith judgment under the terms of this provision (either this course of action or the agreed upon course of action will be referred to herein as “Course of Action”).  Except for any such claims for which Teikoku is obligated to indemnify Licensee under Section 9.2, Licensee shall have the right, but not be obligated, at its sole discretion, on its own behalf, to pursue any Course of Action.  Teikoku agrees to be joined as a party if necessary to pursue any Course of Action and shall provide all reasonable cooperation, including any necessary use of its name, required for such Course of Action.  Licensee shall have sole control of any such Course of Action, including without limitation any associated settlement or compromise; provided, however, that (i) Licensee shall keep Teikoku informed and consult with Teikoku with respect to any such Course of Action and (ii) Licensee shall not settle or compromise any such action or proceeding or enter into any agreement or consent order for the settlement or compromise thereof without the prior written consent of Teikoku, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Licensee shall provide all reasonable cooperation required to defend such claim, including any necessary use of its name.  Teikoku shall have sole control of any such defense and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise; provided, however, that (i) Teikoku shall keep Licensee informed and consult with Licensee with respect to any such Course of Action and (ii) Teikoku shall not settle or compromise any such suit or enter into any agreement or consent order for the settlement or compromise thereof without the prior written consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

12.10    Severability.  If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the Parties hereto shall use reasonable efforts to substitute, by mutual written consent, valid provisions for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions.  In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
