C. With or without the advice of independent intellectual property counsel pursuant to clause (B), Catalent shall have the initial right, but not the obligation, to pursue any alleged third party infringement of any of the Zydis Patents in any country, within or outside the Territory. Catalent shall notify Client within ninety (90) days after delivery of any notice pursuant to clause (A) (or, if later, thirty (30) days after the decision of the intellectual property counsel described in clause (B)) whether it intends to so pursue. Catalent may agree to settle any such Action in its sole discretion; provided that Catalent will not settle any such Action if such settlement would adversely affect the rights or interests of Client without the prior written consent of Client, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Catalent elects to pursue such third party infringement, then Catalent shall bear the cost of such Action and Catalent shall be entitled to retain all sums recovered in such Action for its own account.

If Catalent elects not to defend such Action in accordance with clause (B) within 75 days after delivery of any notice pursuant to clause (A), or not less than 7 days before a response is due as is required to respond to a complaint if a complaint has been filed, then Client may assume the defense of such Action using counsel of its choice solely to the extent that such Action involves the Zydis Technology embodied in any Zydis Formulation. Client shall not settle any Action without (i) a full release of both Parties and their respective Affiliates from such third party plaintiff and (ii) the prior written consent of Catalent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Client assumes the defense of such Action, then Client shall bear the cost of such defense. Any proceeds recovered by Client from such Action shall be used to reimburse Client and Catalent (to the extent either Party incurs any costs or expenses in relation to such Action) for their costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such Action (including attorneys and experts fees) and then any remaining proceeds shall be retained by Client and treated as Net Sales accruing during the Quarter in which such proceeds are actually remitted to Client.
D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where any Action alleges that (i) Catalent IP and/or Process Inventions and (ii) Client IP and/or Client Inventions, infringe the Intellectual Property rights of a third party, then irrespective of which Party controls the defense of such Action, the Parties will discuss in good faith how to defend such Action.
6.9 Cooperation. In any Action pursuant to Sections 6.7 or 6.8, the Parties shall provide each other with reasonable cooperation and assistance and, upon the request and at the expense of the Party making such request, the other Party shall make available, at reasonable times and under appropriate conditions, all relevant records and personnel currently employed by such Party.
