fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith. As
used herein, "administrative responsibility" means the preparation of
any documents required for a Filing, and the submission thereof to the
appropriate governmental entity. If SGI has not yet received a
proposed Filing from Company on an item of Foreground Technology,
and SGI believes that a Filing should be made with respect thereto,
SGI may submit a written request to Company that Company proceed with
the preparation of such Filing, provided, however, that Company may,
in its sole discretion, proceed or decline to proceed with the
preparation of such Filing. If Company declines to prepare and submit
a Filing on an item of Foreground Technology, SGI may proceed with the
preparation and submission of such Filing at SGI's expense. In either
case. a party preparing a Filing shall submit such Filing to the other
party for its review and approval prior to any submission to any
governmental entity. A Filing shall be deemed accepted by the
receiving party if the receiving party does not provide written notice
of rejection to the submitting party within thirty (30) (or such
shorter period as the parties may agree upon) days after the
submitting party's notice thereof. If a party rejects a Filing, it
shall include with its rejection notice a detailed description of its
reason(s) for rejection, and shall make specific suggestions as to any
modifications which it believes should be made to the form or content
of such Filing prior to submission. If the submitting party believes
that the modifications suggested by the receiving party are
inappropriate, the submitting party's Coordinator shall contact the
receiving party's Coordinator, and the Coordinators shall arrange and
hold a meeting or discussion between appropriate representatives of
the parties, at a mutually acceptable time and place, to determine a
mutually acceptable form, content and time for the proposed Filing.
Each party shall provide the other with copies of any correspondence,
materials or communications submitted to or received from a
governmental entity or a third party relating to any Filing. SGI will
provide such information regarding the Background Technology,
Foreground Technology and Developed Technology as Company may
reasonably request for purposes of permitting Company and its advisors
to evaluate actual or potential infringement claims directed at
Company Products. Nothing in this Section 14.4 shall be interpreted to
expand SGI's obligations under Section 9.5.
14.5 ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS IN FOREGROUND TECHNOLOGY. Before
initiating any action against an alleged infringer of any rights in
the Foreground Technology, each party (the "Enforcing Party") shall
contact the other party to confirm that the alleged infringer has not
been granted a license to use the Foreground Technology by the other
party or has not purchased from the other party products whose use
would entitle the alleged infringer to use the Foreground Technology.
If the alleged infringer has not obtained such a license or purchased
such products, the Enforcing Party shall have the right, without
further consent of the other party, to take such steps as it chooses,
in its sole discretion, to enforce its rights as joint owner of the
Foreground Technology, and the other party shall provide such
reasonable assistance as the Enforcing Party may request in connection
therewith, provided either that such assistance does not require any
out-of-pocket expenditures by the other party or that the Enforcing
Party agrees to reimburse any such out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the other party. The
Enforcing Party shall be entitled to retain all amounts recovered from
the alleged infringer in connection with the litigation and/or
settlement of any such action. The Enforcing Party shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its Affiliates from
and against any claim, suit or proceeding initiated against the other
party by any alleged infringer in connection with or in response to
actions initiated against the alleged infringer by the Enforcing
Party, provided that (i) the other party gives the Enforcing Party
notice of the claim, suit or proceeding promptly after commencement
thereof, (ii) the other party gives the Enforcing Party sole authority
to defend and/or resolve any such claim, suit or proceeding, and (iii)
