Defense. If both Parties are charged with infringement pursuant to a claim described in Section 6.4(a), the Parties shall defend such claim jointly, unless they agree otherwise. If only one Party is charged with infringement, such Party will have the first right but not the obligation to defend such claim. If the charged Party does not commence actions to defend such claim within () calendar days after being so charged, then the other Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any such claim. In any event, the non-defending Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party conducting the defense of the claim and shall have the right to participate with separate counsel at its own expense, and the defending Party shall consider comments by the non-defending Party in good faith. The Party defending the claim shall bear the cost and expenses of the defense of any such Third Party infringement claim and shall have sole rights to any recovery. If the Parties jointly defend the claim, BioXcel shall bear percent (), and Nektar shall bear percent () of any costs and expenses of the defense of any such Third Party infringement claim; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claim relates solely to one Party’s Compound, such Party will bear one hundred percent (100%) of the costs and expenses of the defense of such claim, shall have sole rights to any recovery and shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to defend, settle and otherwise handle the disposition of such claim. If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party while jointly defending the claim, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any actual, unreimbursed costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation (including, for this purpose, a reasonable allocation of expenses of internal counsel) pro rata in accordance with the aggregate amounts spent by both Parties, and any remaining amounts shall be split percent () to BioXcel and percent () to Nektar, unless the Parties agree in writing to a different allocation. Neither Party shall enter into any settlement concerning activities under this Agreement or the Combined Therapy that affects the other Party’s rights under this Agreement or imposes any obligations on the other Party, including any admissions of wrongdoing on behalf of the other Party, without such other Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that a Party may settle any claim that solely relates to its Compound without the consent of the other Party as long as such other Party’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely impacted (in which case, it will obtain such other Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Defense. Upon receipt of notice under Section 14.3(a) from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend such Claim, at its own expense and by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 14 and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable costs of investigation and cooperation. However, the Indemnitee will have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of a Claim at its own expense.
Defense. If any such Claims are made, the Indemnitee shall be defended 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 92975109_3
Defense. To the extent either Party receives notice by counterclaim, or otherwise, challenging the invalidity or unenforceability of any Patent Rights within the Foreground IP (a “Third Party Action”), it will notify the other Party, including providing all relevant information related to such claim. Where such allegation is made by a Third Party that owns or controls, and is developing, producing or commercializing a Competitive Product that infringes such Patent Rights, Customer will have the first right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of such Third Party Action. If Customer elects not to defend such Third Party Action, or fails to take the requisite actions to defend such Third Party Action within a period or such shorter time if such failure would materially prejudice Customer’s right to defend such Third Party Action, Ginkgo will have the right (but not the obligation) to assume and control such defense. With respect to other Third Party Actions, the Parties will jointly control the defense of such Third Party Action.
Defense. Each Party will notify the other Party promptly upon learning of a Claim that is subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.1; provided, however, that any failure by the Indemnified Party to provide prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from, or reduce its, indemnification obligation under Section 13.1, unless any delay in providing notice results in actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may control, at its own expense, the defense of the Claim in good faith with counsel of its choice as long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will use reasonable efforts to cooperate in the defense and may participate at its own expense using its own counsel. No compromise or settlement of any Claim may be made by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless # there is no finding or admission of any violation of Applicable Law or any violation of the rights of any Person, # the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and # the Indemnified Party’s rights under this TSA are not adversely affected.
Defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party and any other MiNK Indemnitee or [[Agenus:Organization]] Indemnitee, as applicable, may participate in such defense at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or any other MiNK Indemnitee or [[Agenus:Organization]] Indemnitee, as applicable, have conflicting interests with respect to such Claim under applicable Law or ethical rules, then the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party or any other MiNK Indemnitee or [[Agenus:Organization]] Indemnitee, as applicable, solely in connection therewith.
Defense. Upon receipt of notice under Section 15(C) (i) from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by legal counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee), such Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly (and in any event not more than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Section 15 and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other legal counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable expenses of investigation and cooperation. However, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to control the defense of a Claim at its own expense.
Defense. The right to defend the applicable [[EPIZYME:Organization]] Patent, Collaboration Patent or Joint Patent against such assertion of invalidity or unenforceability shall be determined in the same manner as the right to enforce such Patent pursuant to [Section 8.5]; provided that, if the assertion is made in a suit that is already being controlled by a Party pursuant to [Section 8.4 or 8.5]5], the controlling Party shall retain control of such defense. The other Party may participate in any such claim, suit, or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense. If a Party elects not to defend or control the defense of the [[EPIZYME:Organization]] Patents, Collaboration Patents or Joint Patents, or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding, then the other Party may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding at its own expense.
Defense. If a Party becomes aware of any actual or potential claim alleging that the research, development, manufacture, or commercialization of any ZFNs or AAVs under this Agreement or Licensed Product infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property rights of a Third Party (or would if carried out) (“Third Party Infringement”), then such Party will notify the other Party as promptly as possible following the receipt of service of process in such action, suit, or proceeding, or the date on which such Party becomes aware that such action, suit, or proceeding has been instituted, and the Parties will meet as soon as possible to discuss the overall strategy for defense of such matter. If either Party has an obligation under Article 15 to indemnify the other Party with respect to such claim, then the provisions of Article 15 will apply with respect thereto. Nothing in this [Section 10.4] will limit a Party’s rights to defend such claim.
Defense. Within days after delivery of a notice of any Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.3(a) (Notice), the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, then the Indemnified Party may control such defense (with counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Indemnifying Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense.
