(iv) In the event it is not possible for a party to prosecute all claims of an Application in compliance with the Prosecution Guidelines, such party shall notify the other party and shall either elect to cease prosecuting the Application or have the other party prosecute the Application. In the event a party elects to cease prosecution of the Application in accordance with the foregoing, such party may abandon the Application, but only after notifying the other party of its intent to do so and, in the event the other party requests assignment of such Application to it, such party shall not abandon the Application and shall assign the Application to the other party whereupon any further prosecution of such Application will be at the other party’s sole cost and expense and the other party shall own all rights to such Application and any resulting patents and such party shall have no right or interest therein. In the event that a rejection with respect to any claims in a GE Application can only be overcome by common ownership by Genworth and GE desires to continue the prosecution of such GE Application, GE will allow Genworth to prosecute such claims, and Genworth shall prosecute such claims, in Genworth’s name at GE’s sole cost and expense. The parties acknowledge that the Applications and all patents issuing on the Applications are subject to the licenses granted under Article II herein; provided, however, that GE and its Affiliates shall have no liability to Genworth in the event a GENIUS® Application is assigned to GE and such GENIUS® Application is not successfully prosecuted, and Genworth and its Affiliates shall have no liability to GE in the event a GE Application is assigned to Genworth and such GE Application is not successfully prosecuted.
(v) In the event a party desires to cease prosecution of or abandon any Application for any reason other than the inability to prosecute such Application in compliance with the Prosecution Guidelines, such party shall notify the other party prior to ceasing prosecution or abandoning the Application and in the event the other party requests assignment of such Application to it, such party shall not abandon the Application and shall assign the Application to the other party whereupon any further prosecution of such Application will be at the other party’s sole cost and expense and the other party shall own all rights to such Application and any resulting patents and such party shall have no right or interest therein.
(vi) As a condition precedent to assignment of any GE Application to a party other than an Affiliate of GE, GE shall (i) notify Genworth prior to such assignment, (ii) obtain the written agreement of such assignee to be bound by the obligations of GE under this Section 4.03 (b), (iii) include Genworth in such written agreement as an intended third party beneficiary thereof and (iv) provide Genworth an executed original of such written agreement.
Section 4.04. Third Party Infringements, Misappropriations, Violations.
(a) Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any actual or possible infringements, misappropriations or other violations of the Intellectual Property of the other party being licensed hereunder by a third party that come to such party’s attention, as well as the identity of such third party or alleged third party and any evidence of such infringement, misappropriation or other violation within such party’s custody or control. The other party shall have the sole right to determine at its sole discretion whether any action shall be taken in response to such infringements, misappropriations or other violations.
13
(b) Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing upon learning of the existence or possible existence of rights held by any third party that may be infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated by the use or practice of the Intellectual Property of the other party (or any element or portion thereof) licensed hereunder, as well as the identity of such third party and any evidence relating to such purported infringement, misappropriation or other violation within such party’s custody or control. Such party shall cooperate fully with the other party to avoid infringing, misappropriating or violating any third party rights, and shall discontinue all use and practice of such Intellectual Property that is the subject of such purported infringement, misappropriation or other violation upon the reasonable request of the other party.
(c) Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing upon learning of the existence or possible existence of rights held by any third party that may be infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated by the use or practice of the Intellectual Property (or any element or portion thereof) licensed to the other party hereunder, as well as the identity of such third party. The other party shall cooperate fully with such party to avoid infringing, misappropriating or violating any third party rights, and shall discontinue all use and practice of such Intellectual Property that is the subject of such purported infringement, misappropriation or other violation upon the reasonable request of such party, and shall provide such party any evidence relating to such purported infringement, misappropriation or other violation within the other party’s custody or control.
Section 4.05. Patent Marking. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it will comply with all reasonable requests of the other party relative to patent markings required to comply with or obtain the benefit of statutory notice or other provisions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by any party as follows without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party hereto:
(i) GE, in its sole discretion, may assign this Agreement, and any or all of its rights under this Agreement, and may delegate any or all of its duties under this Agreement to any Affiliate of GE at any time, which expressly accepts such assignment in writing and assumes, as applicable, any such obligations, provided that GE shall continue to remain liable for the performance by such assignee.

Failure by either party at any time to enforce or require strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not affect or impair that provision in any way or the rights of such party to avail itself of the remedies it may have in respect of any subsequent breach of that or any other provision. The waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Any such waiver will not be construed as a waiver of any other term, condition, or provision, nor as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same term, condition, or provision, except as provided in a signed writing.
Section 7.15. Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained herein is intended or shall be deemed to make any party the agent, employee, partner or joint venturer of the other or be deemed to provide such party with the power or authority to act on behalf of the other party or to bind the other party to any contract, agreement or arrangement with any other individual or entity.
