The

parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an agreement providing for the allocation of Losses (excluding Litigation Costs) associated with such claims based on the relative responsibility assigned to each party by the applicable court or tribunal presiding over such claims (an “ Allocation Agreement ”).

If the Company exercises its option to control the defense of any claim set forth on Schedule 8 or portion thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence, then (i) the Company shall bear the Litigation Costs associated with such defense, and RN Parent shall bear the Litigation Costs associated with the portion of such claim of which RN Parent controls the defense (if any), in each case, without regard to the Allocation Agreement (if any), and (ii) any Losses arising out of such claim shall be borne by RN Parent and the Company, respectively, based on the ruling of the applicable court or tribunal.

The Company and RN Parent agree that in the event that the Company and RN Parent share or disclose to one another any confidential or privileged information in connection with the defense of the matters set forth on Schedule 8 , such disclosure shall be made subject to joint defense and/or common interest privileges and accordingly shall not result in a waiver of any applicable rules of privilege and confidentiality vis-à-vis potentially adverse parties.

any claim otherwise indemnified under Sections 6.02 and 6.03(a)), the parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an agreement within twenty (20) Business Days of the date upon which such claim is made known to MTVN Party, RN Party or the Company, which shall provide for (a) the allocation of costs associated with such claim and (b) the management of any litigation arising out of such claim.
