If the alleged infringing process, method or composition is claimed under the Licensed Technology in the Territory, UP shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to control the defense of such suit at its own expense, in which event AltaRex shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel of its own selection, at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully in the defense of such suit and furnish to UP all evidence and assistance in its control. If UP does not elect within thirty (30) days after such notice to so control the defense of such suit, AltaRex may undertake such control at its own expense, and UP shall then have the right to be represented by advisory counsel of its own selection, at its own expense, and UP shall cooperate fully in the defense of such suit and furnish to AltaRex all evidence and assistance in UP’s control. The party controlling the suit may not settle the suit or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in such suit that diminishes the rights or interests of the non-controlling party without the express written consent of the non-controlling party.
