If, within five (5) months of the notice above, Legacy (or any Affiliate thereof or Legacy Licensee) # shall have been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist, # shall not have brought and shall not be diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or # has not executed a settlement agreement with respect to such infringement, or if Legacy notifies Primary that Legacy has decided not to undertake any of the foregoing against any such alleged infringer, Primary shall have the right to bring suit to enforce such Legacy Patents to the extent subject to this Section 8.3(b) at its own expense. If either Party brings any infringement action or proceeding hereunder, the other Party agrees to be joined as a plaintiff and, at the expense of the other Party, to give the Party undertaking such infringement suit or action reasonable assistance and authority to control, file and prosecute the suit as necessary. Any recovery, damages, or other amounts received by Legacy (or any Affiliate thereof or Legacy Licensee) with respect to the infringement of the Legacy Patents in the Legacy Field, or any settlement with respect to the foregoing, shall be used first to reimburse the Parties for unreimbursed reasonable, documented expenses incurred in connection with such action. Any remainder shall be retained, as between the Parties, by Legacy, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, # Primary, at its expense, shall have the right to be represented by counsel of its choice in any such proceeding and, subject to the aforementioned reimbursement of expenses, # Primary shall, subject to Section 8.3(a), be entitled to all recoveries, damages, and other amounts received by either Party (or any Affiliate thereof or any Legacy Licensee) with respect to any infringement of the Legacy Patents (or settlement with respect thereto) in the Primary Field and, to the extent Legacy, any Affiliate thereof, or any Legacy Licensee initially receives any such amounts, Legacy shall promptly pay such amounts to Primary. Primary shall, in the event it pursues any actual, potential or suspected infringement of any Legacy Patents in the Legacy Field in accordance with this Section 8.3(b), be entitled, subject to the reimbursement of Legacy’s expenses related to such action as contemplated above, to retain one hundred percent (100%) of any resulting recoveries, damages, or other amounts received with respect to such actual, potential or suspected infringement.

If, within three (3) months of the notice above, Primary # shall have been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist, # shall not have brought and shall not be diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or # has not entered into settlement discussions with respect to such infringement, or if Primary notifies Legacy that Primary has decided not to undertake any of the foregoing against any such alleged infringer, then Legacy (or any Affiliate thereof or Legacy Licensee) shall then have the right to bring suit to enforce such Legacy Patents in the Primary Field.

Primary Patents. With respect to any actual, potential or suspected infringement of Licensed Primary Patents in the Legacy Field to the extent they Cover Viamet Derived Products or Licensed VDCs, Legacy (or any Affiliate of Legacy or Legacy Licensee, to the extent granted such right by Legacy or an Affiliate thereof) shall have the first and primary right, but not the obligation, to, in its sole discretion, initiate, prosecute, and control any action or legal proceedings, and/or enter into a settlement, including any declaratory judgment action, on its behalf or in Primary’s name, if necessary. If, within five (5) months of the notice above, Legacy (or an Affiliate thereof or a Legacy Licensee) # shall have been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist, # shall not have brought and shall not be diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or # has not executed a settlement agreement with respect to such infringement, or if Legacy notifies Primary that it has decided not to undertake any of the foregoing against any such alleged infringer, then Primary shall then have the right to bring suit to enforce such Licensed Primary Patents in the Legacy Field at its own expense. If either Party (or an Affiliate, licensee, or sublicensee of a Party) brings any infringement action or proceeding under this Section 8.2, the other Party agrees to be joined as a plaintiff and, at the expense of the other Party (or its Affiliate, licensee, or sublicensee), to give the Party undertaking such infringement suit or other action reasonable assistance and authority to control, file and prosecute the suit as necessary. Except as explicitly provided in this Section 8.2, Primary retains all rights to initiate, prosecute, and control any action or legal proceedings, and/or enter into a settlement, including any declaratory judgment action, with respect to any actual, potential or suspected infringement of any Primary Patents, and to retain all recoveries, damages, or proceeds resulting from any of the foregoing. Any recovery, damages, or other amounts received by Legacy (or its Affiliate or any Legacy Licensee) with respect to the infringement of the Licensed Primary Patents in the Legacy Field to the extent they Cover Viamet Derived Products or Licensed VDCs, or any settlement with respect to the foregoing, shall be used first to reimburse the Parties for their unreimbursed reasonable, documented expenses incurred in connection with such action, with Legacy and its Affiliates, as between the Parties and subject to its obligations to any Legacy Licensee, being entitled to retain any remaining balance thereof, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, # Primary, at its expense, shall have the right to be represented by counsel of its choice in any such proceeding and, subject to the aforementioned reimbursement of expenses, # Primary shall be entitled to all recoveries, damages, and other amounts received by either Party (or any Affiliate thereof) with respect to any infringement of the Primary Patents (or settlement with respect thereto) other than an infringement of Licensed Primary Patents in the Legacy Field to the extent they Cover Viamet Derived Products or Licensed VDCs; to the extent Legacy (or its Affiliate or any Legacy Licensee) initially receives any such amounts, Legacy shall promptly pay them to Primary.
