Third Party Litigation In the event that a Third Party institutes a patent or other infringement suit against any of NovaDel, PAR or HANA or any of its respective Affiliates during the Term, alleging manufacture, use or sale of a Licensed Product in the Territory, infringes one or more patent or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Party (an “Infringement Suit”), the Parties shall cooperate with one another in defending such suit. PAR, as the NDA holder, shall have the first right to direct and control, at its expense, any Infringement Suit (including settlement negotiations, settlement or compromise thereof) to the extent that it relates to the manufacture, use or sale of a Licensed Product but does not implicate the Licensed Technology or Licensed Process. In the event that the Infringement Suit relates to the use of the Licensed Technology or Licensed Process, NovaDel shall have the first right to direct and control, at its expense, any such Infringement Suit (including settlement negotiations, settlement or compromise thereof). To the extent that any amounts become payable to any Third Party as a result of such action, whether through judgment or settlement, then PAR shall, unless HANA is jointly promoting and commercializing the Licensed Product pursuant to Section 2.4 and subject to Section 12.2, bear [***] percent ([***]%) of such amounts with respect to the Exploitation of the Licensed Product; provided, however, that PAR shall have the right to credit [***] percent ([***]%) of any amounts paid by PAR through judgment or settlement with respect to such country against the royalty payments to be paid by PAR to HANA with respect to the sale of the Licensed Product under Section 6.3; provided further, however, that no royalty payment when due, regardless of the amount or number of credits available to PAR shall be reduced by more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the amounts otherwise owed pursuant to Section 6.3 in any calendar quarter. Credits not exhausted in any calendar quarter may be carried into future calendar quarters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that no payments are due or owing, or contemplated to be due or owing, by PAR to HANA under Article 6 with respect to the sale of the Licensed Product, then NovaDel shall pay to PAR such amount owed to a Third Party up to a cap of [***]% of such amount owed to such Third Party, less any amount already credited to PAR under this Section 10.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NovaDel shall have no obligation under this Section 10.3 for any costs, expenses or damages that are paid or payable to a Third Party as a result of an actual or alleged infringement by PAR or HANA to the extent such costs, expenses or damages result from the use of a Product Trademark.
