Indemnification Procedure.  A party entitled to be indemnified, as set forth under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall notify the party responsible for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing as soon as practicable, and within five (5) business days of notice or assertion of such claim(s); provided, that failure to timely notify the Indemnifying Party within such time frame shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this section unless and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to notify.  After such notice, if the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is obligated under this section to defend and/or indemnify the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be so entitled, if it so elects in writing within 10 days after receipt of such notice, to take control of the defense and investigation of such claim(s) and to employ and engage attorneys of its choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense.  The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable aspects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such claim(s) and any appeal arising therefrom; provided however, that the Indemnified Party, may at its own cost and expense, participate through its own attorneys or otherwise, in such investigation, trial and defense of such claim(s) and any appeal arising therefrom, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall at all times have the right to control all aspects of the handling of such claim(s), including but not limited to, any compromise, settlement or other resolution of such claim(s); provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to settle any claim against the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, unless such settlement does not involve a remedy other than the payment of money, and provides for full and unconditional release of all liability against the Indemnified Party.

8.4

Remedy.  If a claim, action, suit or proceeding, including a Third Party Claim or Regulatory Action arises pursuant to Section 8.2.3, then the Licensor may at its own election (and at its own expense) (i) replace substantially equivalent Licensed Subject Matter for the infringing item, (ii) modify or fix the infringing item so that it no longer infringes but remains functionally equivalent, (iii) obtain for the benefit of Licensee the right to continue using such item in accordance with this Agreement, or (iv) immediately terminate this Agreement without further liability to Licensee.

8.5

No Liability For Legal Expenses Following Legal Notice.  After notice by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume full control of the defense of any such claim(s), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses incurred thereafter by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of that claim(s).  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume full control, then the Indemnifying Party may participate in such defense, at its sole cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the claim(s) in such manner as it deems appropriate, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

8.6

Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Regulatory Action” means any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any civil, criminal and/or administrative proceeding) brought, threatened or initiated by any governmental authority in connection with the acts of the Indemnifying Party, or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, agents or employees, including without limitation, performance under the terms of this Agreement; and “Third Party Claim” means any third party claim, action, demand or proceeding (other than Regulatory Actions) made, asserted or threatened against any Indemnified Party arising out of any of the acts of the Indemnifying Party, or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, agents or employees, including without limitation, performance under the terms of this Agreement.

9.

Infringement by Third Parties. Licensee shall have the first right to enforce or have enforced at no expense to Licensor any rights in the Technology and Know-How to the extent exclusively licensed hereunder against infringement by third parties and shall be entitled to retain recovery from such enforcement.  Upon Licensee's undertaking to pay all expenditures reasonably incurred by Licensor, Licensor shall reasonably cooperate in any such enforcement and, as necessary, join as a party therein.   After first deducting its costs and expenses incurred in respect of enforcement (to the extent not otherwise awarded by settlement or a court), Licensee shall pay Licensor Royalty Fees (calculated in accordance with Section 4.1, above), on the balance of any monetary recovery to the extent such monetary recovery is held to be a reasonable royalty or damages in lieu thereof.  In the event that Licensee does not file suit against or commence settlement negotiations with a substantial infringer of Licensor's Technology and Know-How within six (6) months of receipt of a written demand from Licensor that Licensee bring suit, then the parties will consult with one another in an effort to determine whether a reasonably prudent licensee would institute litigation to enforce the rights in question in light of all relevant business and economic factors (including, but not limited to, the projected cost of such litigation, the likelihood of success on the merits, the probable amount of any damage award, the prospects for satisfaction of any judgment against the alleged infringer, the possibility of counterclaims against Licensee and Licensor, the diversion of Licensee's human and economic resources, the impact of any possible adverse outcome on Licensee and the effect any publicity might have on Licensee's and Licensor's respective reputations and goodwill).  If the parties cannot agree, the determination will be made by a mutually and reasonably acceptable third party consultant.  If after such process, it is determined that a suit should be filed and Licensee does not file suit or commence settlement negotiations forthwith against the substantial infringer, then Licensor shall have the right to enforce any Technology right licensed hereunder on behalf of itself and Licensee (Licensor retaining all recoveries from such enforcement).  

10.

Governing Law.  This Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

10.3

Independent Contractors.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that it is dealing with the other party as independent contractors.  Nothing contained in this Agreement will be interpreted as constituting either party the employee or agent of the other party or as conferring upon either party the power of authority to bind the other party in any transaction with third parties.

Notices.  All legal notices required herein will be in writing addressed to the respective parties as set forth in the preamble to this Agreement and will either be (i) personally delivered, (ii) transmitted by postage prepaid certified mail, return receipt requested, (iii) transmitted by nationally recognized private express courier, or (iv) sent by telecopier, electronic mail facsimile transmission, and will be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.  Either party may change its address for purposes hereof by written notice to the other in accordance with the provisions of this section.

10.5

Force Majeure.  If any party to this Agreement is delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or is prevented from performing any such obligations due to causes or events beyond its control, including, without limitation, acts of God, fire, flood, strike or other labor problem, injunction or other legal restraint, present or future law, governmental order, rule or regulation, then such delay or nonperformance shall be excused and the time for performance thereof shall be extended to include the period of such delay or non-performance; provided however, the non-performing party is without fault in causing such non-performance or delay, and such non-performance or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means.  In any such event, the non-performing party shall be excused from any further performance or observance of the obligation so affected only for so long as such circumstances prevail and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance as soon as reasonably practicable.  Any party so delayed in its performance shall immediately notify the other parties to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within two (2) days of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such delay and the party’s efforts to minimize such delay.  Any party delayed in its performance shall also promptly notify the other parties when such force majeure event ends.

10.6

Waiver.  The waiver, express or implied, by either party of any breach of this Agreement by the other party will not waive any subsequent breach by such party of the same or a different kind.

10.7

Headings.  The headings to the sections and exhibits of this Agreement are included merely for convenience of reference and do not affect the meaning of the language included therein.

10.8

Severability.  In the event any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

10.9

Attorney’s Fees.  Should either party hereto initiate a legal or administrative action or proceeding (an “Action”) to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by the court or other fact-finder) will be entitled to recover from the losing party all actual costs of the Action, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs regardless of any statutory awards or limitations.

10.10

Rights to Injunctive Relief.  Both parties acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide full compensation in the event of a material breach relating to either party’s obligations, representations, and warranties hereunder, and the non-breaching party shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive relief in the event of any such material breach.

10.11

Survival.  Sections 1, 2.5, 2.6, 3, 4.4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will survive termination of this Agreement.
