During the pendency of such action with respect to any Third Party IP Claim, at the other Party’s request, the Party responsible for defending or enforcing any such action (the “ Responsible Party ”) shall provide the other Party with all information reasonably requested regarding the status of such action (subject to the other Party entering into a common interest agreement if requested by the Responsible Party, and without disclosing any information that would compromise attorney-client privilege or similar privileges).  All materials provided by the Responsible Party to the other Party shall be treated as the Responsible Party’s Confidential Information. In any action or defense initiated by the Responsible Party, the other Party shall be entitled to, and if legally required shall, join the action so long as the Responsible Party retains at all times the sole right to direct and control the action (including the choice of its own counsel). The other Party is entitled to be independently represented by counsel of its choice, at its expense.  When either Party is bringing or defending an action with respect to any Third Party IP Claim, then (a) upon request by the Responsible Party, the other Party will assist in the defense against or enforcement of such action at the other Party’s costs, including if required or desirable to bring, maintain or prove damages in such action, furnishing a power of attorney, furnishing documents and information, cooperating in discovery, providing access to witnesses (including inventors) and executing all necessary documents as such Party may request, and (b) neither Party shall settle, consent to judgment or otherwise voluntarily dispose of the suit or action without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld if such settlement, consent to judgment or other voluntary disposition does not impose any liability on the other Party (other than liability that is fully satisfied by the settling Party on behalf of the other Party) and does not impose any restrictions on the other Party.
