(90) days of receipt of notice. The Parties shall instruct the Third Party Fee Payor to pay all renewal fees and take all steps necessary to maintain such Restricted GE Primary Intellectual Property in the interim. (ii) If the Acquiror

	12.	ENFORCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

 (a)
Enforcement of Business Primary Intellectual Property. With respect to any infringement of any of the Business Primary Intellectual Property within the Field of Use: (i) GE shall not take any action in respect of such infringement
without the prior written consent of Acquiror, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) if Acquiror provides GE with (1) reasonable evidence that such infringement is having or is reasonably likely to have a
material adverse affect on Acquiror’s business if it is allowed to continue; and (2) advice from qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction that there is a reasonable prospect of success in such action (identifying in such advice the
relevant patent, the infringer and the infringing activity), GE shall either at its option and subject to Acquiror first providing GE with a full indemnity against all costs and damages that may be incurred by or awarded against GE as a result of
being a party to such action, pursue joint action with Acquiror in respect of such infringement within the Field of Use or permit Acquiror to pursue such action. Where GE elects to pursue joint action, the Parties will select counsel reasonably
acceptable to both Parties and closely cooperate in the conduct of such action, and both Parties must approve any material decision made in 

  

 -12- 








 
connection with any such action including any settlement of such action, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Where GE elects to permit
Acquiror to pursue such action, Acquiror shall have, with respect to such Business Primary Intellectual Property, the right to prosecute such action subject to the remaining terms of this Section. In the event of a lawsuit, Acquiror may join GE as a
party to the action if it is necessary to join GE as party in order to prosecute such action, whereupon GE will consent to the jurisdiction of the court in which suit is brought. Where GE elects not to have joint control of any such action, Acquiror
agrees to consult with GE as to actions taken in regard to any action subject to this Section 12(a) but Acquiror shall have the final decision on any matter relating to such action, provided that GE must approve any settlement, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed save that Acquiror may settle any such action without GE’s consent if such settlement involves the payment of money the cost of which is borne entirely by Acquiror, does not involve any adverse
admission and does not affect any right of GE or any of its Affiliates. To represent its own interests, GE shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, any such suit, and to retain counsel of its choice for such purpose, at its expense,
unless Acquiror has joined GE as a party to such action in which case it shall be at Acquiror’s expense. Any action whether jointly controlled or controlled by Acquiror shall be Acquiror’s expense and, subject to first reimbursing GE for
any costs not previously reimbursed, any and all recoveries resulting from such suit, whether by judgment or settlement, shall be solely for the benefit of Acquiror. 
 (b) GE shall have the exclusive right to enforce any of the Business Primary Intellectual Property to redress any infringement outside the Field of Use, or within the Field of Use with the consent of Acquiror (consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) on the same terms and conditions as apply to Acquiror’s enforcement in the Field of Use.

infringement without the prior written consent of Acquiror, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) if Acquiror provides GE with (1) reasonable evidence that such infringement is having or is reasonably likely to
have a material adverse affect on Acquiror’s business if it is allowed to continue; and (2) advice from qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction that there is a reasonable prospect of success in such action (identifying in such
advice the relevant patent, the infringer and the infringing activity), GE shall either at its option and subject to Acquiror first providing GE with a full indemnity against all costs and damages that may be incurred by or awarded against GE as a
result of being a party to such action, pursue joint action with Acquiror in respect of such infringement outside the fields of [***] or permit Acquiror to pursue such action. Where GE elects to pursue joint action, the Parties will select
counsel reasonably acceptable to both Parties and closely cooperate in the conduct of such action, and both Parties must approve any material decision made in connection with any such action including any settlement of such action, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Where GE elects to permit Acquiror to pursue such action, Acquiror shall have, with respect to such [***] Intellectual Property, the right to prosecute such action subject to the remaining terms of this
Section. In the event of a lawsuit, Acquiror may join GE as a party to the action if it is necessary to join GE as party in order to prosecute such action, whereupon GE will consent to the jurisdiction of the court in which suit is brought. Where GE
elects not to have joint control of any such action, Acquiror agrees to consult with GE as to actions taken in regard to any action subject to this Section 12(c) but Acquiror shall have

the final decision on any matter relating to such action, provided that GE must approve any settlement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed save that Acquiror may settle any such action without GE’s consent if such settlement involves the payment of money the cost of which is borne entirely by Acquiror, does not involve any adverse admission and does not affect any right of
GE or any of its Affiliates. To represent its own interests, GE shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, any such suit, and to retain counsel of its choice for such purpose, at its expense, unless Acquiror has joined GE as a party to
such action in which case it shall be at Acquiror’s expense. Any action whether jointly controlled or controlled by Acquiror shall be Acquiror’s expense and, subject to first reimbursing GE for any costs not previously reimbursed, any and
all recoveries resulting from such suit, whether by judgment or settlement, shall be solely for the benefit of Acquiror. 
 (d)
Enforcement of [***] Intellectual Property. With respect to any infringement of any of the [***] Intellectual Property outside the field of [***] (i) GE shall not take any action in respect of such infringement without the
prior written consent of Acquiror, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) if Acquiror provides GE with (1) reasonable evidence that such infringement is having or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse
affect on Acquiror’s business if it is allowed to continue; and (2) advice from qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction that there is a reasonable prospect of success in such action (identifying in such advice the relevant patent,
the infringer and the infringing activity), GE shall either at its option and subject to Acquiror first providing GE with a full indemnity against all costs and damages that may be incurred by or awarded against GE as a result of being a party to
such action, pursue joint action with Acquiror in respect of such infringement outside the field of [***] or permit Acquiror to pursue such action. Where GE elects to pursue joint action, the Parties will select counsel reasonably acceptable
to both Parties and closely cooperate in the conduct of such action, and both Parties must approve any material decision made in connection with any such action including any settlement of such action, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Where GE elects to permit Acquiror to pursue such action, Acquiror shall have, with respect to such [***] Intellectual Property outside the field of [***], the right to prosecute such action subject to the remaining terms of
this Section. In the event of a lawsuit, Acquiror may join GE as a party to the action if it is necessary to join GE as party in order to prosecute such action, whereupon GE will consent to the jurisdiction of the court in which suit is brought.
Where GE elects not to have joint control of any such action, Acquiror agrees to consult with GE as to actions taken in regard to any action subject to this Section 12(d) but Acquiror shall have the final decision on any matter relating to such
action, provided that GE must approve any settlement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed save that Acquiror may settle any such action without GE’s consent if such settlement involves the payment of money the cost of which
is borne entirely by Acquiror, does not involve any adverse admission and does not affect any right of GE or any of its Affiliates. To represent its own interests, GE shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, any such suit, and to retain
counsel of its choice for such purpose, at its expense, unless Acquiror has joined GE as a party to such action in which case it shall be at Acquiror’s expense. Any action whether jointly controlled or controlled by Acquiror shall be
Acquiror’s expense and, subject to first reimbursing GE for any costs not previously reimbursed, any and all recoveries resulting from such suit, whether by judgment or settlement, shall be solely for the benefit of Acquiror.
