16.5.1 Should the Party responsible for Handling any Patent Right (“Responsible Party”) decide that it does not desire to Handle such Patent Right, it shall promptly advise the other Party thereof. At the written request of the other Party, the Responsible Party shall then, at no cost to the other Party, assign such patent in such country or countries in the Territory to the other Party, and the other Party may thereafter Handle the same at the other Party’s own cost, to the extent that the other Party desires to do so.

16.6.3 If ROCHE or EVOTEC decides to bring a suit or take action as set forth in Section 16.6.2, once such Party provides Suit Notice, such Party may immediately commence such suit or take such action. In the event that the Party having the right to give a Suit Notice (i) does not in writing advise the other Party within the Decision Period that such Party will commence suit or take action, or (ii) fails to commence suit or take action within a reasonable time after providing Suit Notice, the other Party shall thereafter have the right to commence suit or take action in the Territory and shall provide written notice to the first Party of any such suit commenced or action taken.

16.6.5.2 Second, the balance, if any, shall be allocated seventy five percent (75%) to the Initiating Party, and twenty five percent (25%) to the other party.

16.6.6 If the Initiating Party believes it is reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain an effective remedy, upon written request the other Party agrees to be joined as a party to the suit or action but shall be under no obligation to participate except to the extent that such participation is required as the result of its being a named party to the suit or action. At the Initiating Party’s written request, the other party shall offer reasonable assistance to the Initiating Party in connection therewith at no charge to the Initiating Party except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the other party in rendering such assistance. The other party shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit or action by its own counsel at its own expense.

16.6.7 The Initiating Party may settle, consent judgment or otherwise voluntarily dispose of the suit or action (“Settlement”) without the written consent of the other party but only if such Settlement can be achieved without adversely affecting the other party (including any of its patent rights). If a Settlement could adversely affect the other party, then the written consent of the other party would be required, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

16.7 Defense

16.7.1 If the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of any Product pursuant to this Agreement results in any claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement or trade secret misappropriation against EVOTEC or a member of the ROCHE Group, then such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding and shall keep each other reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding.

16.7.2 If a Third Party asserts that Patent Rights owned by or licensed to it are infringed by the development, manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of Products by EVOTEC, or that its trade secrets were misappropriated in connection with such activity, then EVOTEC shall have the exclusive right and responsibility to resolve any such claim, whether by obtaining a license from such Third Party, by

Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2

defending against such Third Party’s claims or otherwise, and shall be solely responsible for the defense of any such action, any and all costs incurred in connection with such action (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and expert fees) and all liabilities incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the above, EVOTEC shall not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the prior written consent of ROCHE if such settlement would require ROCHE to be subject to an injunction or to make any monetary payment to EVOTEC or any Third Party, or admit any wrongful conduct by ROCHE or its Affiliates, or would limit or restrict the claims of or admit any invalidity and/or unenforceability of any of the Patent Rights Controlled by ROCHE.

16.8 Common Interest Disclosures

With regard to any information or opinions disclosed pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other regarding intellectual property and/or technology owned by Third Parties, the Parties agree that they have a common legal interest in determining whether, and to what extent, third party intellectual property rights may affect the conduct of the development and/or manufacture, use or sale of Compounds and/or Products, and have a further common legal interest in defending against any actual or prospective Third Party claims based on allegations of misuse or infringement of intellectual property rights relating to the conduct of the development and/or manufacture, use or sale of Compounds and/or Products. Accordingly, the Parties agree that all such information and materials obtained by EVOTEC and ROCHE from each other will be used solely for purposes of the Parties’ common legal interests with respect to the conduct of the Agreement. All information and materials will be treated as protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege, and any other privilege or immunity that may otherwise be applicable. By sharing any such information and materials, neither Party intends to waive or limit any privilege or immunity that may apply to the shared information and materials. Neither Party shall have the authority to waive any privilege or immunity on behalf of the other Party without such other Party’s prior written consent, nor shall the waiver of privilege or immunity resulting from the conduct of one Party be deemed to apply against any other Party.

16.9 Hatch-Waxman

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, should a party receive a certification for a Product pursuant to the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-417), as amended, or its equivalent in a country other than the US (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”), then such party shall immediately provide the other party with a copy of such certification. EVOTEC shall have thirty (30) days from date on which it receives or provides a copy of such certification to provide written notice to ROCHE (“H-W Suit Notice”) whether EVOTEC will bring suit, at its expense, within a forty-five (45) day period from the date of such certification. Should such thirty (30) day period expire without EVOTEC providing such H-W Suit Notice, then ROCHE shall be free to immediately bring suit in its name.

16.10 Patent Term Extensions

The parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain all available patent term extensions, adjustments or restorations, or supplementary protection certificates (“SPCs”, and together with patent term extensions, adjustments and restorations, “Patent Term Extensions”). ROCHE shall execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by EVOTEC to obtain such Patent Term Extensions, including designating EVOTEC as its agent for such purpose as provided in 35 U.S.C. Section 156. All filings for such Patent Term Extensions shall be made by EVOTEC; provided, that in the event that EVOTEC elects not to file for a Patent Term Extension, EVOTEC shall (a) promptly inform ROCHE of its intention not to file and (b) grant ROCHE the right to file for such Patent Term Extension. Each party shall
