trade secrets, or any other intellectual property rights or other third -party
rights.

negotiations for its settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any
such claim; however, Buyer shall have the right to fully participate in any and
all such settlement, negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to protect Buyer's
interest, and Buyer agrees to cooperate with SELLER in doing so. In the event

arising under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the sole right to conduct the
defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its settlement or
compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, SELLER

compromise such use is materially adversely restricted, SELLER shall, at its
own expense: (a) procure for Buyer the right to continue to use the
Deliberables; or (b) modify the Deliverables to make them non -infringing,
provided that such modification does not materially adversely affect
Buyer's authorized use of the Deliverables; or (c) replace the Deliverables
with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing
Deliverables at no additional charge to Buyer; or (d) if none of the foregoing
alternatives is reasonably available to SELLER, terminate this Agreement and
