(a)           any breach of any representation or warranty, or any breach, non-fulfillment or default in the performance of any covenant or agreement, made by Purchaser in this Agreement; and

(b)           the enforcement of the Company’s rights under this Article VI.

Section 6.2            Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify Purchaser and each director, officer, employee, agent or permitted assign of Purchaser (collectively with Purchaser, the “Purchaser Indemnities”) against and agree to hold Purchaser Indemnities harmless from any and all damage, loss, liability and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation in connection with

18




 

any action, suit or proceeding), incurred or suffered by Purchaser Indemnities, arising out of or resulting from:

(a)           any breach of any representation or warranty, or any breach, non-fulfillment or default in the performance of any covenant or agreement, made by the Company in this Agreement; and

(b)           the enforcement of Purchaser’s rights under this Article VI.

Section 6.3            Infringement and Other Third Party Claims.

(a)           In addition to the indemnification provided in Section 6.1, Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s expense, defend or settle, at Purchaser’s option, any claim or suit (each, an “Infringement Claim or Suit”) brought by any third party against the Company alleging that a Licensee Licensed Product (as such term is defined in the Lucent Agreement) infringes any valid United States patent, and pay all damages and costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) that by final judgment may be assessed against the Company due to such infringement, as well as all costs relating to defending against and/or settling the Infringement Claim or Suit.  During the pendency of any such Infringement Claim or Suit, Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of such Infringement Claim or Suit.

(b)           Purchaser’s obligation under this Section 6.3 with respect to any Infringement Claim or Suit, is expressly conditioned upon:

(i)            Purchaser being promptly notified of the Infringement Claim or Suit;

(ii)           Purchaser (together with Lucent) having sole control of the defense or settlement of the Infringement Claim or Suit, provided that such defense or settlement creates or results in no additional material liabilities or obligations on the part of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to participate, at the Company’s own expense, with respect to the Infringement Claim or Suit;

(iii)          the Company cooperating with Purchaser (and Lucent, if required under the Lucent Agreement) as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, to facilitate the settlement or defense of the Infringement Claim or Suit; and

(iv)          that the Infringement Claim or Suit does not arise from a Company-directed modification of a Licensee Licensed Product, any use of a Licensed Product (as such term is defined in the Lucent Agreement) not contemplated by the Lucent Agreement or from combinations of a Licensee Licensed Product with other products provided by the Company or by third parties other than Isonics.

Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (i) of this paragraph 6.3(b), no failure or delay in giving Notice of an Infringement Claim or Suit shall affect the obligation of Purchaser under this Article VI unless such failure materially and adversely prejudices Purchaser.

(c)           In the event that Purchaser fails to accept the defense of any Infringement Claim or Suit as provided in this Section 6.3, the Company shall have the full right to defend against the Infringement Claim or Suit, and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full the Infringement Claim or Suit, in the Company’s sole discretion, and all costs

19




 

and expenses relating thereto (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses) shall be borne by Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no Infringement Claim or Suit shall be settled without the prior written consent of Purchaser (and Lucent, if required under the Lucent Agreement), which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company, in the defense of any Infringement Claim or Suit, shall not, except with the consent of Purchaser, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Infringement Claim or Suit a release from all liability with respect to such Infringement Claim or Suit.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.3, if a firm, written offer is made to settle in full any Infringement Claim or Suit and Purchaser proposes to accept such settlement and the Company refuses to consent to such settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), then: (i) Purchaser shall pay such amount to the Company, (ii) Purchaser shall be excused from, and the Company shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such Infringement Claim or Suit and (iii) the maximum liability of Purchaser relating to such Infringement Claim or Suit shall be the amount of the proposed settlement and Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Infringement Claim or Suit through the date of settlement; and, as a result, the Company shall reimburse Purchaser for any additional costs of defense which Purchaser subsequently incurs with respect to such Infringement Claim or Suit and all additional costs of settlement or judgment.
