infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights in the Licensed Field. MEDINOL shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of MEDINOL’s own choice; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the foregoing affect the right of ARIAD to control the suit as described in the first sentence of this Section 6.3. If ARIAD brings any such action or proceeding hereunder (i) MEDINOL agrees to be joined as party plaintiff if necessary to prosecute such action or proceeding, and (ii) at ARIAD’s expense, MEDINOL shall give ARIAD reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit, and (iii) ARIAD shall be permitted to settle any such suit without the prior consent of MEDINOL. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby expressly agreed that MEDINOL shall have the sole right (but not the obligation) to take any action in respect of any actual, alleged or threatened infringement of MEDINOL Patent Rights.

6.4.3 Joint Inventions. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.4, all right, title and interest in and to all inventions, discoveries and other intellectual property rights therein conceived or invented jointly by personnel of ARIAD and MEDINOL or solely by personnel of a Party using the Confidential Information or proprietary materials of the other Party in connection with the performance of such Party’ rights and obligations hereunder shall be jointly owned by ARIAD and MEDINOL (collectively, “Joint IP”). Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, it is understood that neither Party shall have any obligation to account to the other for profits, or to obtain any approval of the other Party to license or exploit Joint IP, by reason of joint ownership thereof.
6.4.4 Assignments. The Parties hereby agree to execute and deliver any and all documents, including without limitation, any agreements relating to the assignment of ownership rights, as the other Party may reasonably request to give effect to the allocation of ownership rights set forth in this Section 6.4.
(a) MEDINOL hereby grants to ARIAD a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable license under its interest in Joint IP to develop, have developed, make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer to sell, import, have imported, export, have exported, distribute, market and promote products for sale and use outside the Licensed Field (and, to the extent ARIAD retains rights in the Licensed Field pursuant to Section 2.1.1(b), also in the Licensed Field). Further, in the event that MEDINOL files any patent application which discloses the chemical structure of AP23573 or any analog of AP23573 or descriptive information sufficient to determine the chemical structure of AP23573 or any analog of AP23573 (“AP23573 Claims”), MEDINOL shall grant to ARIAD a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable license under its interest in AP23573 Claims (whether or not such claims constitute MEDINOL Sole IP or Joint IP) to develop, have developed, make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer to sell, import, have imported, export, have exported, distribute, market and promote products.
(b) ARIAD hereby grants to MEDINOL a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable license under its interest in ARIAD Sole IP and Joint IP to develop, have developed, make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold,

9.2 Termination for Breach. In addition to any other remedies available by law or in equity, this Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon any material breach by the other Party of any obligation of this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, such termination to be effective thirty (30) days, in the case of non-payment of any amount due, ninety (90) days, in the case of any other curable material breach, and immediately, in the case of any non-curable material breach, after receipt by the breaching Party of written notice of termination from the non-breaching Party describing such material breach of this Agreement and/or the Supply Agreement in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such default or breach is curable and is cured or remedied or shown to be non-existent within the aforesaid 30-day or 90-day, as the case may be, period (the “Cure Period”), the notice of termination shall be automatically withdrawn and of no legal force and effect; provided, that such Cure Period shall be shortened, as appropriate, if such breach or default must be cured within non-extendible time limits set forth by governmental entities (e.g., Regulatory Authorities, patent office, etc.). Any termination based upon notice of termination describing a curable material breach shall be stayed, and the Cure Period tolled, in the event that, during any Cure Period, the Party alleged to have materially breached this Agreement shall have initiated dispute resolution in accordance with Section 10.2 with respect to the alleged default, which stay and tolling shall last until a final arbitral award is made.

MEDINOL’s request upon any termination under this Section 9.5.2) under a confidentiality agreement containing provisions no less stringent that those set forth in Article 5 such information as is necessary to establish an alternate supply of AP23573 for use in MEDINOL Licensed Products, (d) all of MEDINOL’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.6 shall survive such termination, and (e) MEDINOL and its Affiliates shall have the right to develop, market and sell MEDINOL Licensed Products, with royalties to be paid to ARIAD on all Net Sales of such MEDINOL Licensed Products as provided for in this Agreement.

9.7 Surviving Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in Article 4 (except Section 4.4), 5, 8, 10 and 11, and Sections 1.10, 2.1.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 9.4 shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term.

In the event of the occurrence of such a dispute, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, have such dispute referred to their respective senior officials designated below or their successors, for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after such notice is received. Said designated senior officials are as follows:
For MEDINOL: | Chief Executive Officer |

10.2 Any dispute, controversy or claim initiated by either Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to this Agreement, or the performance by either Party of its obligations under this Agreement (other than bona fide Third Party actions or proceedings filed or instituted in an action or proceeding by a Third Party against a Party), whether before or after termination of this Agreement, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration. Whenever a Party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party.

Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based upon such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party shall have the right, without waiving any right or remedy available to such Party under this Agreement or otherwise, to seek and obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary or desirable to protect the rights or property of such Party, pending the selection of the arbitrators hereunder or pending the arbitrators’ determination of any dispute, controversy or claim hereunder.
