11.5. Infringement Actions.

11.5.1. Should OT become aware of any material infringement, interference, or misappropriation by any person or entity of any right, title, or interest in or to the Components and/or the Products in the Territory (“INFRINGEMENT”) or, as determined in OT’s reasonable judgment, any potential Infringement, OT promptly shall notify the Distributor in writing, including in such notification all known relevant details and facts relating thereto. OT shall be obligated to take all commercially reasonable steps and measures to prosecute and otherwise to ▇▇▇▇▇ each such Infringement, and the Distributor will provide reasonable assistance (at OT’s expense) in connection therewith if requested by OT; provided, however, that if OT fails to prosecute or to take any commercially reasonable step or measure to prosecute or ▇▇▇▇▇ an Infringement, or, upon inquiry,

explicitly indicates in writing that it does not intend to do so, the Distributor has the right to do so independently upon at least 30 days prior written notice to OT and will select counsel and control the action, unless OT takes the commercially reasonable steps and measures to prosecute and otherwise to ▇▇▇▇▇ each such Infringement within and at all times after such 30 day period. OT shall take any and all commercially reasonable steps and actions necessary and appropriate to secure all available intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, patent rights in and to the Products and/or the Components in the Territory. If OT fails to take such steps and actions, the Distributor shall have the right to do so upon at least 30 days prior written notice to OT, and any and all intellectual property rights secured by the Distributor shall, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, be solely and exclusively owned by and recorded in the name of OT, and the Distributor will be reimbursed for its costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

11.5.2. The total cost of any Infringement action commenced or taken solely by OT shall be borne by OT and OT shall keep any recovery or damages for past infringement derived therefrom, including, without limitation, the settlement thereof. The total cost of any Infringement action commenced or taken solely by the Distributor shall be borne by the Distributor and the Distributor shall keep any recovery or damages for past infringement derived therefrom, including, without limitation, the settlement thereof. In all actions taken jointly by the parties, the parties will share the expenses equally and, and after the payment of the expenses, the parties shall share equally any and all funds recovered in such an action, including, without limitation, the settlement thereof. For the avoidance of doubt it is clarified that (i) the assistance rendered by Distributor to OT (at OT’s expense) under Section 11.5.1 above, and (ii) the Distributor being included as a party in any suit as stated in Section 11.5.3 shall be deemed as “action commenced or taken solely by OT” and not be deemed as “actions taken jointly by the parties”.

11.5.3. In any Infringement suit or other action as either party may institute to prosecute, perfect, protect, enforce or exercise the rights in or to the Products and/or the Components and/or the Products granted under the terms of this Agreement or any intellectual property rights therein or thereto, the other party hereto shall, at the request and expense of the party initiating such suit or taking such action, cooperate in all reasonable respects, including, without limitation, to the extent possible making available relevant non-privileged records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like.
