(a)           Sinotau shall not dispute or contest or assist others to dispute or contest the validity of any of FluoroPharma’s rights to letters patents, trademarks, copyrights, Product Approvals or other Product registrations and approvals, Know-how or other intangible property related to the Product.  In addition, if Sinotau so disputes or contests or assists others to dispute or contest the validity of any of the foregoing rights of FluoroPharma, FluoroPharma shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Sinotau.
 
(b)           Sinotau is not authorized to use FluoroPharma’s trademark and trade name in any manner except to indicate that it is a licensee and distributor of FluoroPharma for the Product only during the Term of this Agreement and only in the Territory.  Sinotau shall acquire no right, title or interest in or to any FluoroPharma trademarks or trade names, or any other trademark or service mark owned by FluoroPharma.  Sinotau understands and agrees that it is not authorized to use the FluoroPharma’s name in connection with its general business or to imply to Third Parties that its relationship with FluoroPharma is other than a licensee and distributor under this Agreement.  Sinotau shall submit any proposal to use any of FluoroPharma's trademarks to FluoroPharma for written approval.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of such written approval. FluoroPharma shall have the right to supervise and control the use of the trademarks in connection with the packaging, labeling, and sale of the Product by Sinotau for the purpose of protecting and maintaining the goodwill associated with such trademarks and the reputation of FluoroPharma, and Sinotau shall (and shall cause all of its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ Representatives) to take all actions required by FluoroPharma in connection with such protection and maintenance only to the extent that such actions are necessary, reasonable and in compliance with Applicable Laws.
 
(c)           Sinotau will give FluoroPharma written notice of any unfair competition by others.  Sinotau agrees to cooperate with FluoroPharma, at FluoroPharma’s request and expense, and take whatever action is required to cause the termination of such conduct only to the extent that such action is necessary, reasonable and in compliance with Applicable Laws. FluoroPharma reserves the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate to protect its patents, trade secrets, trademarks, trade names, and any other intellectual properties.
 
9.3           Product Infringement Claims.
 
(a)           Sinotau shall promptly advise FluoroPharma in writing of any patent, trademark or copyright infringement or potential infringement or unauthorized use of FluoroPharma patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks or other Intellectual Property by Third Parties of which Sinotau becomes aware relating to the Product.  FluoroPharma shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to institute any proceedings against such alleged infringers.  If any action, suit or other proceeding is brought by FluoroPharma, FluoroPharma shall control the prosecution thereof and be entitled to retain all amounts recovered in full by reason of such infringement.  Sinotau agrees to cooperate with and assist FluoroPharma in any such action, suit or other proceeding at FluoroPharma’s expense and only to extent that such cooperation is necessary, reasonable and in compliance with Applicable Laws.  FluoroPharma shall have sole control over and the exclusive right to defend and/or negotiate and approve any settlement of such suits, provided, however, if such settlement involves Sinotau’s interests (but not limited to any of its rights hereunder), FluoroPharma shall take into consideration Sinotau’s interests when exercising the said right, and may not reach such settlement unless FluoroPharma and Sinotau have reached unanimous agreement with respect to protection of Sinotau’s interests.
 
(b)           In the event that the manufacture, use or sale of the Product infringes Third Party Intellectual Property rights in the Territory, FluoroPharma may, by mutual agreement with Sinotau, (i) obtain for Sinotau the right to continue to market, sell and distribute the Product in the Territory, (ii) replace or modify the Product so as to make the Product non-infringing or (iii) in consultation with Sinotau, terminate Sinotau’s rights to sell the Product in the Territory by written notice effective upon receipt.  FluoroPharma may, in its sole discretion, enter into a settlement with the Third Party, including but not limited to obtaining the rights described in (i) above.  If FluoroPharma terminates pursuant to (iii) above, Sinotau shall remove all Product from the market and shall cease distributing the Product in the Territory as directed by FluoroPharma.  In the event that FluoroPharma is enjoined from making and selling and/or Sinotau is enjoined from selling Product as a result of charges of infringement of Patent Rights, such injunction shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.  In the event the Product is enjoined or FluoroPharma reasonably believes the Product may be infringing, FluoroPharma shall have the right to terminate the License, in which event FluoroPharma will refund the amounts paid by Sinotau to FluoroPharma in terms of Licensing Fees and Sales Milestones.  FluoroPharma hereby disclaims any warranty that the manufacture, use or sale of its Product, or utilization of its Product, Product Precursor or Product Precursor Kit or any of its confidential or proprietary information or its trademarks, is free from liability from infringement or charges of infringement of patent rights or trademarks owned by Third Parties within or outside the Territory.  FluoroPharma shall indemnify Sinotau against Third Party claims of infringement by the Product of a Third Party patent in the Territory as set forth in Article  XI.
 
(c)           FluoroPharma shall have no liability for any infringement claim resulting from the use or combination of the Product with goods, materials, or services not supplied by FluoroPharma, or any modification or alteration of the Product, where such infringement claim results from the use, combination, modification or alteration.  The foregoing expresses Sinotau’s sole remedy, and FluoroPharma’s sole liability, for any claim of infringement.
