Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, in each case that cover the Licensed Products, without the prior written approval of the Licensee.

 

(i)  Option of Licensee to Prosecute/Maintain.  Licensor shall give reasonable notice to Licensee of any desire to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of any of the Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, in each case that cover the Licensed Products, on a country by country basis in the Territory.  In the event that Licensee wishes Licensor to continue prosecution of any such Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, Licensee shall provide timely written instructions to Licensor and Licensor agrees to prosecute such Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights at Licensor’s expense; provided, that Licensor shall not be obligated to prosecute any patent application and/or trademark application included in the Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights in the event the Licensor determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that the prosecution of such application is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of its business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted.  In the event that Licensee wishes Licensor to continue maintenance of any such Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, Licensee shall provide timely written instructions to Licensor and Licensor agrees to maintain such Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights at Licensor’s expense.

 

(b)  Notice.  In the event that Licensee becomes aware of any evidence that (i) any invention which is the subject of any patent applications and/or patents included in the Matritech Patent Rights infringes or is alleged to infringe any third party’s patent rights in any field of use, (ii) any patent applications and/or patents included in the Matritech Patent Rights is infringed or is alleged to be infringed by any third party in any field of use, (iii) any trademark included in the Matritech Trademark Rights infringes or is alleged to infringe any third party’s trademark rights in any field of use, or (iv) any trademark included in the Matritech Trademark Rights is infringed or is alleged to be infringed by any third party in any field of use, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor in writing of the name and address of such third party, the alleged acts of infringement, and any available evidence of infringement.

 

(c)  Defense of Infringement Actions.  Licensor shall defend any claim for patent or trademark infringement by a third party on account of the manufacture, sale, practice or use of any Licensed Products at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control, or settle any such action, proceeding or dispute by license.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no settlement of any such action or proceeding which restricts the scope, or adversely affects the enforceability, of the Matritech Patent Rights and/or Matritech Trademark Rights, in each case that cover the Licensed Products, may be entered into by Licensor without the prior written consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

(d)  Enforcement of Patent Rights.  Licensor shall have the sole right, at its sole discretion, to bring any legal action for infringement of the Matritech Patent Rights and/or the Matritech Trademark Rights or to defend any counterclaim of invalidity or action of a third party for declaratory judgment of non-infringement or interference (“Enforcement Actions”), and

 

 

 

Licensor may bring or defend and may settle any such Enforcement Actions solely at its own expense and through its counsel.  Any recovery or proceeds of settlement or judgment in any Enforcement Actions brought or defended by Licensor under this Section 7(d) shall be shared in order, as follows: (A) Licensor shall recoup all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Enforcement Action; (B) any balance shall be applied toward the unpaid balance of all principal, premium, if any, interest on the Notes, and any other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the Notes; and (C) any and all remaining balance shall be received by Licensor.  If Licensor reasonably requests, Licensee agrees to become a party to and to participate in any such Enforcement Actions, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensor may implead Licensee as a necessary party to any such legal action and Licensee agrees to consent to such joinder; provided, however that Licensee’s participation shall be at Licensor’s expense.

 

(i)  Option of Licensee to Enforce.  Licensor shall give reasonable notice to Licensee of any desire not to pursue any Enforcement Action contemplated by Section 7(d).  In the event that Licensee wishes Licensor to pursue such Enforcement Action, Licensee shall provide timely written instructions to Licensor and Licensor agrees to pursue such Enforcement Action in its own name and Licensor and Licensee will share the costs and expenses of such Enforcement Action equally.  In the event that Licensor recovers any damages or other sums in any such action, suit or proceeding or in settlement thereof, such damages or other sums recovered shall be shared in order, as follows: (A) Licensee shall recoup all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Enforcement Action; (B) any balance shall be applied toward the unpaid balance of all principal, premium, if any, interest on the Notes, and any other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the Notes; and (C) any and all remaining balance shall be received by Licensor.

 

8.    Representations of Licensor.

 

(a)  Licensor shall not amend, restate, alter, waive or otherwise change any of the terms and conditions of any License Agreement without the prior written approval of Licensee, other than pursuant to a Permitted Amendment.

 

(b)  Licensor represents that, the Matritech Patent Rights, Matritech Trademark Rights, MIT Patent Rights, and the intellectual property that is the subject of the Abbott License Agreement, are the only intellectual property rights Licensor owns or has the right to use under any written license agreement that relate to the Licensed Products.

 

9.     Laws and Regulations.  Licensee agrees to cause any sublicensee to agree, and in the event that Licensee directly tests, manufactures, markets, packages, distributes or sells Licensed Products, then Licensee agrees on behalf of itself, for the benefit of Licensor to conduct all of its operations dealing with Licensed Products in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and other requirements, which may be in effect from time to time, of all national governmental authorities, and of all states, municipalities and other political subdivisions and agencies thereof, including, without limitation the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, and the regulations and other requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and to exercise a

 

 

reasonable standard of care in the testing, manufacture, marketing, packaging, distribution and sale of any Licensed Product.
