Licensor agrees to pay Licensee reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in investigation or defense of such claims, and all damages and liabilities finally awarded against Licensee or paid in a settlement and arising out of such third-party claims. Licensor’s indemnity obligation shall not extend to claims based solely on: (i) an unauthorized modification or use of the Software Product made by any third party other than Licensor, where the Software Product, without such modification or unauthorized use, would not be infringing; (ii) the combination of noninfringing items with any items not supplied by Licensor; or (iii) the use by Licensee of any version which is not the latest available version of the Software Product. As a condition to the defense set forth above, Licensee shall give Licensor prompt notice of any such claim made against it, and grant Licensor sole control of the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding, including appeals, negotiations and any settlement or compromise thereof. If the Software Product or part thereof becomes, or in Licensor’s opinion may become, subject to any claim of infringement of any duly issued patent or copyright or asserted trade secret right and its use is thereby enjoined, Licensor’s sole liability shall be, at Licensor’s option, to either: (a) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Software Product; (b) replace or modify the Software Product, so that it is non-infringing; or (c) if neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably practical, Licensor shall refund a portion of the License Fees paid to Licensor for such Software Product based on a pro rata straight line thirty six (36) month depreciation basis, upon the return or destruction (and certification of destruction) of the Software Product, provided that if the License is granted for a limited designated term, the above pro rata straight line depreciation basis shall be the said designated term.
