Company shall not compromise or settle such litigation without the prior written consent of Licensors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In the event Company exercises its right to sue pursuant to this Section 9.2, it shall first reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorney’s fees, necessarily incurred in the prosecution of any such suit. If, after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, then Licensors shall receive an amount equal to twenty five percent (25%) of such funds and the remaining seventy five (75%) of such funds shall be retained by Company.
 
9.3 Suit by Licensors.  If Company does not take action in the prosecution, prevention, or termination of any Infringement pursuant to Section 9.2 above, and has not commenced negotiations with the infringer for the discontinuance of said Infringement, within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice to Company by a Licensor of the existence of an Infringement, either or both of the Licensors may elect to do so. The expenses of such suit or suits that such Licensor(s) elect to bring, including any expenses of Company incurred in conjunction with the prosecution of such suits or the settlement thereof, shall be paid for entirely by such Licensor(s) and such Licensor(s) shall hold Company free, clear and harmless from and against any and all costs of such litigation, including attorney’s fees.  Licensors shall not compromise or settle litigation in a manner that adversely impacts the rights of the Company hereunder without the prior written consent of Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In the event one or both Licensors exercise their right to sue pursuant to this Section 9.3, they shall retain all sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof following coverage of all costs arising in connection with such suit.

In the event Company takes action in the prosecution, prevention, or termination of any Infringement pursuant to Section 9.2, and the involved legal counsel is of the opinion there is a conflict of interest between the Company’s interests and Licensors’ own interests in connection with such action, Licensor(s) shall have the right to be represented by counsel of their own selection in such action at Company’s expense. Each Party shall always have the right to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense in any suit instituted under this Section 9 by another Party.
 
9.5 Cooperation.  Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in any action under this Section 9 that is controlled by any other Party, provided that the controlling Party reimburses the cooperating Party promptly for any reasonable, out-of-pocket, documented costs and expenses incurred by the cooperating Party in connection with providing such assistance.  For the avoidance of doubt, if such action requires the assistance of Prof. Haynes, the controlling Party shall contact Prof. Haynes directly and bear all related expenses.
 
9.6 Declaratory Judgment.  If a declaratory judgment action is brought naming Company and/or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees as a defendant and alleging invalidity or unenforceability of any Valid Claims within Licensed Patents, Company shall promptly upon becoming aware of such notify Licensors in writing and Licensors may elect, upon written notice to Company within thirty (30) days after Licensors receive notice of the commencement of such action, to take over the sole defense of the invalidity and/or unenforceability aspect of the action at their own expense in close consultation with the Company.

Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensors, HMO, HKUST and their respective current and former directors, governing board members, trustees, officers, faculty, medical and professional staff, employees, students, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any claim, liability, cost, expense, damage, deficiency, loss or obligation or any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Claims”), arising out of any theory of liability (including without limitation actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability and regardless of whether such action has any factual basis) concerning the practice or use of any of the Licensed Technology or the Consulting Services Results by the Company, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, or concerning any product, process, or service that is made, used, or sold pursuant to any right or license granted to the Company under this Agreement, unless the particular damage, loss or expense was caused by a particular Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful breach or misconduct.
 
24

11.2
Procedures.  If any Indemnitee receives notice of any Claim, such Indemnitee shall, as promptly as is reasonably possible, give the Company notice of such Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice promptly shall only relieve the Company of any indemnification obligation it may have hereunder if such failure materially diminishes the ability of the Company to respond to or to defend the Indemnitee against such Claim.  Licensors and the Company shall consult and cooperate with each other regarding the response to and the defense of any such Claim and the Company shall, upon its acknowledgment in writing of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee, be entitled to and shall assume the defense or represent the interests of the Indemnitee in respect of such Claim, that shall include the right to select and direct legal counsel and other consultants to appear in proceedings on behalf of the Indemnitee and to propose, accept or reject offers of settlement, all at its sole cost provided, however, that no such settlement shall be made without the written consent of the Indemnitee if the settlement involves an admission of failure or wrongdoing by an Indemnitee, or could lead to the invalidity of a Licensed Patent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Nothing herein shall prevent the Indemnitee from retaining its own counsel and participating in its own defense at its own cost and expense.
 
11.3
Insurance. The Company shall maintain insurance that is reasonably adequate to fulfill any potential obligation to the Indemnitees under this Section 11, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature of the products or services commercialized.  Without limiting the foregoing, beginning at the time any Licensed Product is being commercially distributed or sold, such insurance shall include commercial liability insurance in amounts standard in the industry but in any event not less than US$10,000,000 per incident and US$10,000,000 in the aggregate. During clinical trials of any such Licensed Product, Company shall, at its sole cost, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in such equal or lesser amount as required by the applicable regulatory authority.  Such insurance shall be obtained from a reputable insurance company. Licensors, HMO and HKUST shall be added as co-insured parties under such insurance policy. The Company hereby undertakes to comply punctually with all obligations imposed upon it under such policies, including without limitation the obligation to pay in full and punctually all premiums and other payments due under such policies.  The Company shall provide the Leading Licensor upon request with written evidence of such insurance.  The Company shall continue to maintain such insurance after the expiration or termination of this Agreement during any period in which the Company or any Affiliate or Sublicensee continues to make, use, or sell Licensed Products, and thereafter for a period of seven (7) years.

28

 
14 Publications. Each Licensor shall furnish a copy of a contemplated publication which contains reference to the Licensed Technology or Sponsored Research Results at least 45 (forty-five) days before the making of any such publication and shall be free to publish if the Company shall have failed to notify it in writing, within 30 (thirty) days from receipt of the said draft publication, of its opposition to the making of the contemplated publication.  Should the Company notify the Licensor in writing within 30 (thirty) days from the receipt of the draft contemplated publication that it opposes the making of such publication because it includes material (which has been specified in said notice) in respect of which there are reasonable grounds (which have also been specified in said notice) that the disclosures thereunder contain Confidential Information of the Company or Sponsored Research Results,  then the relevant Licensor shall not permit such publication until such specified information of the Company or Sponsored Research Results (as the case may be) is removed.
