For three (3) years after the period of each statement required by this Article, Myriad shall keep (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall keep) true and accurate records in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the royalty calculations hereunder. 4.9 Audit of Royalty Payments. (a) Upon the written request of Licensor and not more than once in each Fiscal Year, Myriad shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by Licensor, and reasonably acceptable to Myriad, to have access during normal business hours, and upon fifteen (15) business days prior written notice, to such of the records of Myriad as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder for any Fiscal Year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm shall disclose to Licensor only whether the royalty reports are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to Licensor. (b) If such accounting firm correctly concludes that additional royalties were owed during such period, Myriad shall pay the additional royalties, with interest from the date originally due at the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. Edition, on the last business day preceding such date, within sixty (60) days after the date on which such accounting firm's written report is delivered to Myriad. Myriad acknowledges that this Section shall not constitute Licensor's agreement to accept such payments after they are due and that such late payment constitutes a breach of this Agreement. The payment of such interest shall not constitute a waiver of Licensor's right to exercise any other remedies it is entitled to hereunder or otherwise. If, and only if, the amount of the underpayment is greater than five percent (5%) of the total amount owed, then Myriad shall reimburse Licensor for all costs related to such audit. If such accounting firm correctly concludes that excess royalties were paid during such period, such overpayment shall be fully credited against future royalties due hereunder. (c) Licensor shall treat all information subject to review under this Section 4.9 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article VI of this Agreement, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with Myriad obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement. 15 4.10 Mode of Payment. All payments hereunder shall be made by deposit of United States Dollars in the requisite amount to such bank account as Licensor may from time to time designate by notice to Myriad. Payments shall be free and clear of any taxes (other than withholding and other taxes imposed on the receiving party), fees or charges, to the extent applicable. With respect to sales outside the United States, payments shall be calculated based on currency exchange rates for the last Fiscal Quarter for which remittance is made for royalties. For each month and each currency, such exchange rate shall equal the arithmetic average of the daily exchange rates (obtained as described below) during the Fiscal Quarter. Each daily exchange rate shall be obtained from the Reuters Daily Rate Report or The Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. Edition, or, if not so available, as otherwise agreed by the parties. ARTICLE V Intellectual Property Rights 5.1 Intellectual Property Ownership. (a) Myriad shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Regulatory Documentation, the Myriad Patents, and the Myriad Know-How. (b) Subject to the exclusive license grants granted to Myriad hereunder, as between the parties, Licensor shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Licensor Patents and Licensor Know-How. (c) Subject to the license grants granted to Myriad hereunder, the parties shall jointly own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Joint Patents and Joint Know-How. 5.2 Patent Prosecution. (a) Licensor Patents. Subject to Section 5.2(c), Licensor shall be ---------------- responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining, prosecuting, and/or maintaining throughout the world the Licensor Patents. In this regard, Licensor shall file, prosecute, and/or maintain patent applications in the United States to secure Patents Rights for the Licensed Compound, the Licensed Product, the Manufacturing Processes (to the extent invented or developed by Licensor), and other Information and Inventions claimed in or covered by the Licensor Patents. Within one (1) year of filing any such United States patent application, Licensor shall file a counterpart international application under the PCT designating all member countries and any additional counterpart national patent applications in non-PCT member countries as the parties shall mutually agree upon. (b) Myriad Patents and Trademarks. Myriad shall be responsible, at ----------------------------- its sole cost and expense, for obtaining, prosecuting, and/or maintaining the Myriad Patents throughout the world. Myriad shall be responsible for obtaining, maintaining, registering and/or extending trademark protection for all Trademarks related to the Licensed Compound and the Licensed Product, throughout the world. 16 (c) Joint Patents. Myriad shall be responsible for obtaining, ------------- prosecuting, and/or maintaining the Joint Patents throughout the world. Myriad shall also be responsible for the cost and expense for filing, prosecuting, and/or maintaining the Joint Patents. Notwithstanding the above, either party may decline to pay its share of costs for filing, prosecuting, and/or maintaining any Joint Patent(s) in a particular country or particular countries, in which case the declining party shall assign to the other party all of its right, title, and interest in and to any such Joint Patent(s) in the relevant country and upon such assignment such Joint Patent(s) shall become a Myriad Patent(s) or a Licensor Patents(s), as the case may be. (d) Cooperation. Each party shall regularly provide the other party ----------- with copies of all patent applications filed hereunder and other material submissions and correspondence with any patent authorities, as applicable, in sufficient time to allow for review and comment. In addition, each party shall provide the other and its counsel with an opportunity to consult and comment on the filing and contents of any application, amendment, registration, submission, response or correspondence with any patent authorities. Each party shall, at the other's reasonable request, assist and cooperate in the filing and prosecution of any application, amendment, registration, submission, response or correspondence with respect to any Myriad Patents, Joint Patents, or Trademarks related to the Licensed Compound and the Licensed Product. (e) Election not to Prosecute. If Licensor elects not to pursue the ------------------------- initial filing of a Licensor Patent, the PCT international filing or the continued prosecution or maintenance of a Licensor Patent in a particular country, then Licensor shall so notify Myriad promptly in writing and in good time to enable Myriad to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve a right in such Licensor Patents in such country. With respect to Licensor Patents scheduled for international filing with respect to a country, Licensor shall notify Myriad in writing at least ninety (90) days before the date required for the filing of such Licensor Patents application or any other deadline by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve a Licensor Patents right in such country. (i) Upon receipt of any such notice by Licensor, pertaining to a patent to which Licensor holds legal title, Myriad shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pursue the filing or registration, or support the continued prosecution or maintenance, of such Licensor Patents, at its expense in such country. If Myriad elects to pursue such filing or registration, as the case may be, or continue such support, then Myriad shall notify Licensor of such election and (i) no further royalties shall be payable on account of Net Sales generated in such country, and (ii) Licensor shall (A) reasonably cooperate with Myriad in making such filings or registrations, or in continuing such support, and (B) promptly release or assign to Myriad, without consideration, all right, title, and interest in and to such Licensor Patents in such country. (ii) Upon receipt of such notice by Licensor, pertaining to a patent to which LLUMC or another Third Party holds legal title, Myriad shall have the right, but not the obligation, to support the continued prosecution or maintenance, of such Licensor Patents, at its expense in such country. If Myriad elects to continue such support, then Myriad shall notify Licensor of such election and the cost of such support shall be creditable against further royalties on account of Net Sales generated in such country, and Licensor shall reasonably cooperate with 17 Myriad in continuing such support. If Myriad elects not to continue such support then Myriad shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Licensor Patents in such country and this license shall terminate with respect to such Licensor Patents in such country. 5.3 Enforcement of Patents and Trademarks. (a) If either party considers that any Licensor Patents, Myriad Patent, or Joint Patent is being infringed by a Third Party's activities, it shall notify the other party and provide it with any evidence of such infringement that is reasonably available. Upon written notice to Licensor, Myriad shall have the first right, but not the obligation, at its own expense to attempt to remove such infringement by commercially appropriate steps, including filing an infringement suit or taking other similar action. If required by law in order for Myriad to prosecute such suit, Licensor shall join such suit as a party, at Myriad's expense. Licensor agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain any consents required by Third Parties owning Licensor Patents licensed to Licensor in order for Myriad to conduct suits thereunder. In the event Myriad fails to take commercially appropriate steps with respect to an infringement that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the sale of the Licensed Product within three (3) months following notice of such infringement, Licensor shall have the right to do so at Licensor's expense; provided, however, that if -------- ------- Myriad has commenced negotiations with an alleged infringer for discontinuance of such infringement within such three-month period, Myriad shall have an additional six (6) months to conclude its negotiations before Licensor may bring suit for such infringement and provided further that Myriad shall not be -------- ------- required to enforce any infringed Licensor Patents or Joint Patent against more than one entity or in more than one country at any one time. The party not enforcing the applicable Licensor Patents or Joint Patent shall provide reasonable assistance to the other party, including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours, subject to the enforcing party's reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the non-enforcing party. To ensure that no rights of Licensor are compromised in any such action, Myriad shall not settle any such claim, or enter into any settlement agreement that admits that any Third Party product does not infringe the Licensed Patents or that any Licensed Patent is invalid or unenforceable without Licensor's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (b) Any amounts recovered by either party pursuant to Section 5.3(a), whether by settlement or judgment, shall be used to reimburse the parties for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses), with any remainder being retained by or paid to Myriad; provided, -------- however, that Myriad shall pay to Licensor an amount of monies or cash ------- equivalents received from any alleged infringer equivalent to royalties which Licensor would have received if such alleged infringer had been a Sublicensee. (c) Except as otherwise provided by the provisions of Section 5.3(a), each party shall retain the sole and exclusive right to enforce its rights under any Patents and its rights to any Trademarks against all infringers at its sole cost and expense. 18 5.4 Infringement of Third Party Rights. (a) If (i) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to both Licensor and Myriad, one or more Patents covering the research, development, Manufacture, use, or sale of the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Product has issued to a Third Party in any country such that Myriad cannot sell the Licensed Product in such country without infringing such Patent or (ii) as a result of any claim made against Myriad or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees during the term of this Agreement alleging that the research, development, Manufacture, use, or sale of the Licensed Compound or Licensed Product by such entity infringes or misappropriates any Patent or any other intellectual property right of a Third Party in any country, a judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is taken within the time permitted for appeal, such that Myriad cannot sell the Licensed Product in such country without infringing the Patent or other proprietary rights of such Third Party, Myriad shall use its reasonable, good faith efforts to negotiate and obtain a license from such Third Party that would permit Myriad to research, develop, Manufacture, use or sell the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Product, as the case may be, in such country; provided, however, that Myriad shall not be -------- ------- obligated to attempt to negotiate a license if Myriad in good faith believes that such negotiation is likely to be futile. If Myriad obtains such a license in such country, any royalties paid by Myriad, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees under such license with respect to the sale of the Licensed Product in such country shall be totaled at the end of each Fiscal Quarter and shall be creditable against future royalties paid to Licensor hereunder up to an amount equal to [ ] of the royalties paid to Licensor hereunder in respect of sales made in such country during such Fiscal Quarter. If Myriad is unable to obtain a license or if Myriad in good faith believes that such negotiation is likely to be futile, Myriad shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such country by written notice to Licensor. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to limit Myriad's right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3. If Myriad is unable to obtain such a license, or such consideration to be paid to a Third Party for such license would make the Licensed Product commercially impracticable with respect to such country, then Myriad shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such country by written notice to Licensor. (b) In the event that a Third Party institutes a patent, trade secret, or other infringement suit against Myriad or its Affiliates or Sublicensees during the term of this Agreement, alleging that the research, development, Manufacture, use, or sale of the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Product infringes one or more patent or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Party, then Myriad shall have the first right, but not the obligation, at its sole cost and expense, to assume direction and control of the defense of claims arising therefrom but shall not enter into a disposition with respect thereto, or enter into a settlement agreement with respect thereto, which, in either case, admits that any Licensed Product infringes any Third Party right, without Licensor's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Myriad determines not to assume such direction and control, Licensor shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to defend, settle or otherwise dispose of such claims on such terms as Licensor, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that Licensor shall -------- ------- obtain the written consent of Myriad prior to ceasing to defend, settling, or otherwise disposing of such claims. In the event Myriad controls such defense, all of the reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, damage awards, incurred by 19 Myriad in connection therewith that are not offset by proceeds therefrom shall be fully creditable against the royalties due under Section 4.3; provided, -------- however, that Myriad may apply such credit in any given Fiscal Quarter against a ------- maximum of [ ] of the total royalties payable to Licensor during such Fiscal Quarter. Credits not exhausted in any Fiscal Quarter may be carried into future Fiscal Quarters. (c) Except as provided in Section 5.4(b), in the event that a Third Party institutes a Patent, trade secret, or other infringement suit against Myriad, Licensor, or their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees during the term of this Agreement, each party shall, at its own cost and expense, use all reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the other party in connection with the defense of such suit. (d) Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall prevent either party, at its own expense, from obtaining any license or other rights from Third Parties it deems appropriate in order to permit the full and unhindered exercise of its rights under this Agreement. (e) The provisions of this Section 5.4 set forth the parties' exclusive and sole remedies against each other in respect of the subject matter hereof. ARTICLE VI Confidentiality and Nondisclosure 6.1 Confidentiality Obligations. (a) Each party shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement and for a ten (10) year period following termination or expiration hereof, keep, and shall ensure that its officers, directors, employees, and agents keep, completely confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use, directly or indirectly, for any purpose, any Confidential Information furnished to it by the other party, except to the extent such disclosure or use is expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or is reasonably necessary for the performance of this Agreement. (b) Licensor recognizes that by reason of Myriad's status as an exclusive licensee pursuant to the grant under Section 3.1, Myriad has an interest in Licensor's retention in confidence of certain information of Licensor. Accordingly, Licensor shall keep completely confidential, and shall not publish or otherwise disclose, and shall not use directly or indirectly for any purpose, any information of Licensor relating to the terms of this Agreement, the Licensed Product and any Improvements thereto, the Licensed Compound, the Manufacturing Processes or the Regulatory Documentation (the "Licensor Confidential Information"), except to the extent (i) such information is in the public domain through no fault of Licensor, (ii) or such disclosure or use would be permitted under Section 6.2, substituting "Confidential Information" with "Licensor Confidential Information, "receiving party" with "Licensor and "disclosing party" with "Myriad", or (iii) such disclosure or use is otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or is reasonably necessary for the performance of this Agreement, such as for obtaining patent protection in accordance with Section 5.2. For clarification, the 20 disclosure to Myriad by Licensor of Licensor Confidential Information shall not cause such Information to cease to be Licensor Confidential Information for purposes of this paragraph. 6.2 Permitted Disclosures. Each party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is: (a) Made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental body of a country or any political subdivision thereof of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the -------- ------- receiving party shall first have given notice to the disclosing party and given the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order and to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information and/or documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued; and provided further that if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective -------- ------- order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such court or governmental order shall be limited to that information which is legally required to be disclosed in such response to such court or governmental order; (b) Otherwise required by law, in the opinion of legal counsel to the receiving party as expressed in an opinion letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the disclosing party, which shall be provided to the disclosing party at least two (2) business days prior to the receiving party's disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 6.2(b); (c) Made by the receiving party to the Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with applications for Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Product or any Improvements thereof; provided, -------- however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential ------- treatment of such information; or (d) Made by the receiving party to Third Parties as may be necessary in connection with the development and commercialization of the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Product as contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, subcontracting and sublicensing transactions in connection therewith; provided, however, that the receiving party in question shall in each -------- ------- case obtain from the proposed Third Party recipient a written confidentiality undertaking containing confidentiality obligations no less onerous than those set forth in this Article VI; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to -------- ------- the contrary in this Article VI, Myriad shall have the right to disclose any Regulatory Documentation relating to the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Product to qualified medical professionals for the purpose of advertising and promotion and conducting medical education initiatives reasonably designed to increase Net Sales of the Licensed Product and; provided further that Licensor -------- ------- shall have the right to disclose Confidential Information which relates directly to the Licensed Products, Licensed Compound, Licensor Patents, or payments owing hereunder to LLUMC to the extent LLUMC would be obligated to hold such Confidential Information in confidence under the LLUMC License Agreement. 21 6.3 Confidential Information. (a) "Confidential Information" means (i) where Licensor is the receiving party, any information relating to the terms of this Agreement, the Licensed Product and any Improvements thereto, the Licensed Compound, the Manufacturing Processes, the Regulatory Documentation, and all development, sales and marketing plans for the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Product and any Improvements thereto, and the business affairs and other activities of Myriad, and (ii) where Myriad is the receiving party, any information relating to the terms of this Agreement, the Licensed Product, the Licensed Compound and the Manufacturing Processes, but not including the development, sales and marketing plans for the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Product or the Regulatory Documentation. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (i) at the time of disclosure is or later comes into public domain through no fault of receiving party; (ii) can be demonstrated by documentation or other competent proof to have been in the receiving party's possession prior to disclosure by the disclosing party; (iii) is subsequently received by the receiving party from a Third Party who is not bound by any obligation of confidentiality with respect to said information; or (iv) that is independently developed by or for the receiving party without reference to the disclosing party's Confidential Information. (c) Upon termination of this Agreement, the parties, their Affiliates and Sublicensees shall return all Confidential Information transferred under this Agreement; provided, however, that each party shall be permitted to retain -------- ------- one complete set of the Confidential Information for archival purposes to monitor compliance with this Section. The parties shall maintain the confidentiality of, and not make any use of, such Confidentiality Information for a period of ten (10) years after the termination of this Agreement. 6.4 Press Releases. Press releases or other public communication by either party relating to this Agreement shall be approved in advance by the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, except for those communications required by law, disclosures of information for which consent has previously been obtained or information that has been previously disclosed, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. ARTICLE VII Term and Termination 7.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall continue until it is terminated or expires in accordance with this Article VII. Unless earlier 22 terminated in accordance with this Article VII, this Agreement shall expire upon the termination or expiration of the last Valid Claim under the Licensor Patents. 7.2 Termination of the Agreement for Material Breach. Failure by a party to comply with any of its material obligations contained herein shall entitle the party not in default to give to the party in default notice specifying the nature of the default, requiring it to make good or otherwise cure such default, and stating its intention to terminate if such default is not cured. If such default is not cured within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such notice or, if such default cannot be cured within such 90-day period, if the party in default does not commence and diligently continue actions to cure such default, the party not in default shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety; provided, however, that any right to terminate under this Section 7.2 -------- ------- shall be stayed in the event that, during such 90-day period, the party alleged to have been in default shall have initiated dispute resolution in accordance with Section 10.6 with respect to the alleged default, which stay shall last so long as the initiating party diligently and in good faith cooperates in the prompt resolution of such dispute resolution proceedings. 7.3 Termination by Myriad. Myriad may terminate this Agreement in its entirety and in its sole discretion upon three (3) months prior written notice. 7.4 Consequences of Termination or Expiration. (a) Upon a termination by Myriad: (i) due to a breach by Licensor, all of Licensor's right, title and interest in and to the Licensor Patents shall immediately revert to LLUMC and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In addition, in the event of such a termination, Myriad agrees to be bound to LLUMC as licensor under the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Myriad -------- ------- and LLUMC shall promptly negotiate and enter into a license agreement which will contain the same rights and obligations for Myriad, as "Myriad," and for LLUMC, as "Licensor," as are provided in Article III (except that Section 3.5 shall be deleted), Article IV and Article VII hereof, and which shall include such other changes to the remainder of this Agreement as are necessary to substitute LLUMC for Licensor hereunder. Myriad, Licensor and LLUMC agree to execute and deliver such documents as Myriad and LLUMC shall determine to be necessary or convenient to give effect to this Section; and (ii) pursuant to Section 7.3, this Agreement and all rights and licenses granted hereunder shall terminate. (b) Upon a termination by Licensor due to a breach by Myriad, this Agreement and all rights and licenses granted hereunder shall terminate. (c) Upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a)(ii) or Section 7.4(b), the parties shall enter into good faith negotiations towards the price at which Myriad will transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to all Regulatory Documentation to Licensor; 23 provided, however, that such price shall not exceed an amount equal to [ ] -------- ------- of the internal and external cost and expense incurred by Myriad in developing such Regulatory Documentation. Such agreement shall contain commercially reasonable terms for the timing, method and form in which such Regulatory Documentation shall be provided to Licensor. Licensor shall be responsible for Myriad's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in making such transfer. 7.5 Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations. (a) Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of a party prior to or on account of such termination, relinquishment, or expiration. All remedies provided hereunder or elsewhere are cumulative. Such termination, relinquishment, or expiration shall not relieve a party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. (b) Without limiting the foregoing, Sections 4.9, 5.1, 7.5, and 10.4 and Articles 1, 6 and 8 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. 7.6 Termination Upon Insolvency. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon notice to the other should the other party (a) consent to the appointment of a receiver or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (b) file or consent to the filing of a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or have any such petition filed against it which has not been stayed within sixty (60) days of such filing. 7.7 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Licensor are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to "intellectual property" as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

(b) If after termination of this Agreement, either party desires to apply for a patent on any jointly owned Improvement or new invention, such party shall advise the other party in writing of its intent, and the other party shall notify the first party in writing within twenty (20) days of such notice whether it elects to not join in seeking patent protection, it shall promptly assign to the first party its entire right, title and interest in and to the jointly owned Improvement or new invention. If the other party elects to join in seeking patent protection, the parties shall jointly select patent counsel to prepare and prosecute the patent application, and all expenses incurred in connection with such filing and prosecution shall be shared equally by Myriad and Licensor, provided, the party providing the original notice of intent to file the application shall have the primary responsibility for directing the patent prosecution. The parties shall fully cooperate with one another and keep each other fully informed as to the preparation, filing and prosecution of all such patent applications. If at any time after the parties, have jointly filed such a patent application, either party decides that it has no further interest in the application or any patent granted thereon, it may assign to the other party its entire right, title and interest in and to the Improvement or new invention that is the subject thereof, the application and any patent granted thereon, and shall thereupon be relieved of any liability for any of the above-mentioned expenses arising subsequent to its assignment. (c) In the event that after termination of this Agreement, either party desires to bring any legal action against any Third Party for infringement of any jointly owned patent, the other party agrees to cooperate as reasonably necessary in such action, including executing any papers necessary for pursuit of such legal action and jointly as a party to a lawsuit if necessary. Any recovery obtained for the patent infringement shall be retained by the party initiating such action after pro rata reimbursement of each party's reasonable expenses incurred in bringing, participating in or cooperating in such action. If the other party desires to participate in bringing any such action for infringement, the parties shall agree in advance upon a reasonable allocation of fees, costs and recoveries. (d) In the event that after termination of this Agreement, the validity of any jointly owned patent is challenged in any forum or proceeding, each party shall have the option of defending such challenge. If both parties elect to defend, they shall share equally in the legal 25 fees, costs, and liabilities incurred in such defense. If either party elects to not defend such patent, or decides at any time during the defense that it has no further interest in the patent, and shall thereupon be relieved of any liability for any legal fees and costs incurred subsequent to its assignment.
