Avoidance of Adverse Actions by Licensee Sample Clauses

The "Avoidance of Adverse Actions by Licensee" clause prohibits the licensee from engaging in activities that could negatively impact the rights, reputation, or interests of the licensor or the licensed property. This may include refraining from making public statements that disparage the licensor, avoiding misuse or misrepresentation of the licensed material, or not participating in legal actions that could harm the licensor’s position. The core function of this clause is to protect the licensor from potential harm or liability caused by the licensee’s actions, thereby preserving the value and integrity of the licensed rights.
Avoidance of Adverse Actions by Licensee. Licensee shall not: (i) take any action that would disparage or diminish the value or reputation of the Citi Marks; (ii) either directly or indirectly apply for the registration or renewal of registration of the Citi Marks or any variation thereon, or any Trademark which contains or is confusingly similar to the Citi Marks or their transliteration in any language; (iii) subject to Section 6.02(d) use the Citi Marks in any jurisdiction after such time that Licensee knows that such use in such jurisdiction infringes or is credibly alleged to infringe the Trademark rights or other proprietary rights of another Person (provided, however, that Citigroup may agree to permit Licensee to continue to use the Citi Marks in such jurisdiction if Citigroup determines that there are reasonable defenses to such claim of infringement); or (iv) without Citigroup’s prior written consent, which may in Citigroup’s sole good faith discretion be withheld (and Citigroup will provide Licensee with a written explanation for its disapproval at the time of such disapproval), combine the Citi Marks with any other Trademark, any prefix or suffix, or any other modifying word or term, other than as expressly provided in Schedule A.
Avoidance of Adverse Actions by Licensee. Licensee hereby covenants that it shall not: (i) use the Marks in any way that may tend to impair their validity as proprietary trademarks or service marks; (ii) take any action that would jeopardize or impair TM Corp.’s ownership of the Marks or the legality and/or enforceability of the Marks, or Coldwell Banker’s right to use the Coldwell Marks and ERA’s right to use the ERA Marks; (iii) either directly or indirectly, apply for the registration or renewal of registration of the Marks or any variation thereon, or any trademark, service m▇▇▇, domain name (except for the Domain Names with respect to renewal as set forth herein), name or other matter which contains or is similar to, the Marks, without the prior written consent of Licensors; (iv) use (except for the Marks and Domain Names as set forth herein) or attempt to register in any jurisdiction, directly or indirectly, any trademark, service m▇▇▇, domain name, name, or other matter containing or similar to any trademark, service m▇▇▇, domain name, or name as to which Licensors or their Affiliates have any registration or proprietary rights; or (v) sublicense any of the Marks, except as permitted in Section 2.04.

  • Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims (a) In the event that any party (the “Indemnified Person”) desires to make a claim against any other party (the “Indemnifying Person”) in connection with any Losses for which the Indemnified Person may seek indemnification hereunder in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing, of the Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”) as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt, by such Indemnified Person of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give a Third-Party Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Person’s election, to assume or participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the cost of Indemnifying Person. In any case in which the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall give the Indemnified Person ten (10) calendar days’ notice prior to executing any settlement agreement and the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve or reject the settlement and related expenses; provided, however, that upon rejection of any settlement and related expenses, the Indemnified Person shall assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the liability of the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall be limited to the amount or the monetary equivalent of the rejected settlement and related expenses. (b) The Indemnified Person shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and to discuss matters with the Indemnifying Person related to the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 10.3(a) of this Agreement, but the Indemnified Person shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such participation; provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.3(a) above, all decisions of the Indemnifying Person shall be final and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Person in all respects in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, including refraining from taking any position adverse to the Indemnifying Person. (c) If the Indemnifying Person fails to give notice of the assumption of the defense of any Third-Party Claim within a reasonable time period not to exceed forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall no longer be entitled to assume (but shall continue to be entitled to participate in) such defense. The Indemnified Person may, at its option, continue to defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Person shall indemnify the Indemnified Person for all reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith (provided it is a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Person is otherwise obligated to provide indemnification hereunder). The Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in the defense of any Third-Party Claim the defense of which it does not assume. Prior to effectuating any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall furnish the Indemnifying Person with written notice of any proposed settlement in sufficient time to allow the Indemnifying Person to act thereon. Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, the Indemnified Person shall be permitted to effect such settlement unless the Indemnifying Person (a) reimburses the Indemnified Person in accordance with the terms of this Article 10 for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such Claim; (b) assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim; and (c) takes such other actions as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request as assurance of the Indemnifying Person’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Article 10 in connection with such Third-Party Claim.

Absent such litigation, any determination by any Reviewing Party shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

Licensee shall keep MedImmune reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding. Licensee agrees to provide MedImmune with copies of all material pleadings filed in such action and to allow MedImmune reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the claims.

  • Procedure for Third Party Claims The obligations and liabilities of each Party with respect to Third-Party Claims shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Promptly upon receiving a written notice of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect, at its sole option, to undertake the defense thereof by outside counsel of its own choosing, which outside counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, by sending written notice of its election to the Indemnified Party; provided however, that if, in the Indemnified Party’s and the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend or otherwise does not promptly defend such Third-Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to undertake the defense of, and to compromise or settle, such Third-Party Claim on behalf, for the account, and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party, to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is determined to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Agreement with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The written notice of the Third-Party Claim shall contain all material information known to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim and shall include copies of materials submitted to Indemnified Party by the Third-Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. (ii) If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake and diligently pursue the defense of a Third-Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall control all aspects of the defense and settlement of such Third-Party Claim and may settle, compromise or enter into a judgment with respect to such Third-Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any such settlement, compromise or judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement, compromise or judgment would result in the imposition of any non-monetary liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense under this Article 9, the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith and may employ, at any time, a separate outside counsel to represent it; provided however, that the Indemnified Party shall be solely responsible for the costs and expenses of any such separate outside counsel. If the Indemnified Party undertakes the defense of a Third-Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise, or enter into any judgment with respect to such Third-Party Claim for which it is seeking or shall seek indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of Indemnifying Party, which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (iii) The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with access to all reasonably requested records and documents of the Indemnified Party relating to any Third-Party Claim, other than documents for which the Indemnified Party has claimed or shall claim a legal privilege.
