proprietary right (“IP Claim”); provided, however, that: (i) Licensee shall notify

written consent; (iii) Enhancera shall have sole control of any such action and

foregoing states the sole liability of Enhancera and the exclusive remedy of
Licensee for any infringement of intellectual property rights by the Product or any
other items provided by Enhancera hereunder.
(b) If the Product becomes, or in the opinion of Enhancera may become, the

option and in its discretion promptly: (i) procure for Licensee the right to use the
Product free of any liability; (ii) replace or modify the Product to make it noninfringing;
or (iii) refund any License Fees related to this Product paid by
Licensee.
(c) Exclusions from Defense Obligation. Enhancera will have no duty to defend
any IP Claim to the extent such IP Claim is based on: (i) use of a superseded
release of the Product, if such infringement would have been avoided by the use
of a current release of the Product and Enhancera timely notified Licensee of the
availability of the non-infringing Product at no additional cost; (ii) the combination,
operation, or use of the Product with programs or data not furnished by Enhancera
or at Enhancera's direction, or with hardware or operating system software other
than the hardware platform and operating system with which the Product is
designed to function, if such infringement would have been avoided by the use of
the Product without such programs, data, hardware or operating systems; (iii)
modification or attempted modification of the Product by anyone except Enhancera
or at Enhancera's direction, or use or distributions of such modifications; or (iv)
Licensee’s use of the Product in a manner that results in defamation, violates the
privacy rights of individuals, transmits material in violation of any applicable law,
rule, regulation, or uses any proprietary thirty party content without legally binding
consent of such third party.

based upon the claim that any modifications to the Product or combination of the
Product with products, not provided by Enhancera or at Enhancera's direction,

any action brought against Enhancera provided, however, that: (i) Enhancera shall
notify Licensee promptly in writing of any such claim; (ii) Enhancera shall not enter
into any settlement or compromise any such claim without Licensee’s prior
written consent; (iii) Licensee shall have sole control of any such action and
settlement negotiations; and (iv) Enhancera shall provide Licensee with

settle or defend such claim. Licensee agrees to pay all damages and costs finally
awarded against Enhancera attributable to such claim. Enhancera may elect to

its choosing; provided however, that if Licensee will not have breached its
defense and settlement obligations hereunder, Licensee will have no obligation
to pay the costs and expenses of such Enhancera-controlled defense or
settlement. The foregoing states the sole liability of Licensee and the exclusive
remedy of Enhancera for any infringement of intellectual property rights by the
Licensee modifications or combinations or any other items provided by Licensee
hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding Clause (a) above, Enhancera assumes no liability
hereunder for, and shall have no obligation to defend Licensee or to pay costs,
damages or attorney's fees for, any claim based upon any modifications to any of
the Product not approved by Enhancera or at Enhancera's direction or combination
of any of the Product with products not approved by Enhancera or at Enhancera's
direction.
