		(b)	
If the Licensor desires to abandon any patent or patent application within the Licensed Patents, the Licensor shall provide the Licensee with reasonable prior notice of the intended abandonment, and the Licensee may, at its expense, prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain the relevant Licensed Patents.  If the Licensor elects to abandon any patent or patent application or cease payment of any patent expenses, the Licensor loses all rights under this Agreement with respect to the particular Licensed Patents in those one or more countries.







 



	6.4	
Cooperation.  Each Party shall provide reasonable cooperation in the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all Licensed Patents.

For clarity any such financial support shall be in the discretion of the cooperating Party and may be subject to such terms and for such duration, or impose such limits or conditions as the cooperating Party may determine.

		(c)	
Statute of Limitations.  The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defences (such as, estoppel and laches) are tolled while the negotiation, mediation and/or arbitration procedures set forth in Clause 9.2.(a), 9.2(b) or 9.2(c) are pending.

	10.9	
Severability.
