Allos, at its sole expense, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to determine the appropriate course of action to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights or otherwise xxxxx the infringement thereof, to take (or refrain from taking) appropriate action to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights, to control any litigation or other enforcement action and to enter into, or permit, the settlement of any such litigation or other enforcement action with respect to the Licensed Patent Rights, and shall consider, in good faith, the interests of Licensor in so doing. Within ninety (90) days after notice of a substantial and continuing infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights, Allos shall notify Licensor whether or not Allos intends to take action against the alleged infringer. If Allos notifies Licensor that it does not intend to take action, or if within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of notice Allos does not xxxxx such infringement or file suit to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights against each infringing party, Licensor shall have the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights, including bringing and controlling at its own expense a legal action in which, if legally necessary, Allos may be a named plaintiff. The party controlling any such enforcement action shall not settle the action or otherwise consent to a judgment in such action that results in any grant to the third party of rights under the Licensed Patent Rights, without the prior written consent of the non-controlling party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. All monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any such suit to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights shall, after payment of expenses, be retained by the party controlling the enforcement.
