Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing upon learning that a Third Party may potentially be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating any Intellectual Property licensed under this Agreement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the identity of the suspected infringer and nature of suspected infringement.
Section 8.3 Suits for Infringement.

(i) With respect to any Licensed BWTI Intellectual Property to which BWTI has granted BWICO an exclusive license hereunder, as between BWTI and BWICO, BWTI shall have the first right to initiate, prosecute and control any action or proceeding to restrain infringement or misappropriation of such Licensed BWTI Intellectual Property in the RemainCo Core Field, and, for purposes of clarity, the sole and exclusive right to initiate, prosecute and control such proceedings in the SpinCo Core Field and in any field other than the RemainCo Core Field. BWTI shall provide prompt written notice to BWICO of any determination to initiate, prosecute and control any such action or proceeding in the RemainCo Core Field. BWICO, as the exclusive licensee, agrees to be joined as a party if necessary to prosecute the action or proceeding, and shall provide all reasonable cooperation, including any necessary use of their name, required to prosecute such action or proceeding. In such instance, BWTI shall control any such action or proceeding and negotiations for its settlement and compromise and shall have sole discretion regarding the settlement or compromise thereof. In connection with the foregoing, BWICO may, at its option, elect to assume and pay its and BWTIs out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such litigation or proceeding undertaken by BWTI, including, without limitation, attorneys fees. BWICO will provide prompt written notice to BWTI, in any event no later than thirty (30) after receipt of BWTIs notice of its determination to initiate, prosecute and control such action or proceeding in the RemainCo Core Field, of its determination to elect to assume and pay the applicable costs or to decline to pay assume and pay
9
the applicable costs. In the event BWICO does not elect to assume and pay the costs associated with BWTIs initiation, prosecution and control of such action or proceeding in the RemainCo Core Field, BWTI shall assume and pay its and BWICOs out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such litigation or proceeding undertaken by BWTI, including, without limitation, attorneys fees. Any recovery obtained as a result of such proceeding in the RemainCo Core Field shall be retained by (i) BWICO in the event that BWICO assumed and paid the applicable costs of the litigation or proceeding or (ii) BWTI in the event that BWTI assumed and paid the applicable costs of the litigation or proceeding in accordance with this Section 8.3(a)(i).
(ii) If BWTI does not exercise its right to enforce any applicable Licensed BWTI Intellectual Property in the RemainCo Core Field, BWTI shall provide notice to that effect to BWICO and, as between BWTI and BWICO, BWICO shall have the right to initiate, prosecute and control any action or proceeding to restrain infringement or misappropriation of such Licensed BWTI Intellectual Property in the RemainCo Core Field. BWICO shall provide prompt written notice to BWTI of any determination to initiate, prosecute and control any such action or proceeding in the RemainCo Core Field. BWTI, as the owner and licensor, agrees to be joined as a party if necessary to prosecute the action or proceeding, and shall provide all reasonable cooperation, including any necessary use of their name, required to prosecute such action or proceeding. In connection with the foregoing, BWICO shall assume and pay its and BWTIs out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any litigations or proceedings described above, including, without limitation, attorneys fees. Any recovery obtained as a result of such proceeding related to infringement or misappropriation in the RemainCo Core Field shall be retained by BWICO.
(iii) In the event that a Third Party may potentially be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating any Licensed BWTI Intellectual Property in both the RemainCo Core Field and the SpinCo Core Field, BWICO and BWTI will meet and confer in good faith regarding the manner in which to respond to such infringement in the RemainCo Core Field and SpinCo Core Field collectively, provided, however, that the foregoing does not limit the rights set forth in Section 8.3(a)(i) or Section 8.3(a)(ii).
ARTICLE IX

10
compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of legal counsel, by other requirements of Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, BWTI or BWICO, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which both Parties will cooperate in seeking to obtain. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party who is being compelled to disclose (or whose Group member is being compelled to disclose) shall, and shall cause the applicable members at its Group to, furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of such Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed.
Section 9.2 As used in this Article 9, Confidential Information shall mean all proprietary, technical or proprietary, operational information (including Know-How and proprietary information relating to the ages, birth dates, social security numbers, health-related matters or other confidential matters concerning employees or former employees) of one Party or members of its Group which, prior to or following the Distribution Time, has been disclosed by BWTI or members of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, or BWICO or members of the RemainCo Group, on the other hand, to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, the other Group, including pursuant to the technical assistance and technology transfer provisions of Article VI hereof or any other provision of this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (a) in the public domain through no fault of such Party (or, in the case of BWTI, any other member of the SpinCo Group or, in the case of BWICO, any other member of the RemainCo Group) or (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the Party (or, in the case of BWTI, such member of the SpinCo Group or, in the case of BWICO, such member of the RemainCo Group) to which it was furnished; provided, however, in the case of (b) that such sources did not provide such information in breach of any confidentiality obligations), or (c) independently developed by employees or agents of such Party who had no access, direct or indirect, to such information provided by the other Party.
(a) Each Party shall use the Confidential Information only as permitted pursuant to this Agreement and shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Third Party unless permitted pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party shall exercise the same degree of care to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information received from the other Party hereunder (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar information. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will take commercially reasonable efforts to implement and maintain comprehensive security protocols to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information received from the other Party hereunder, including, without limitation, implementing administrative, technical, digital, electronic and physical security strategies and access restrictions to protect Confidential Information.
