Indemnities.
Mutual General Indemnity
Each Party (“Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnitor”) shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Party (“Indemnified Party” or “Indemnitee”) its officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, affiliates, successors, permitted assigns and customers harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any third party claims, causes of action, lawsuits or other proceedings (individually or collectively, “Claims”), regardless of legal theory, to the extent such Claims arise from Indemnifying Party’s (or any of Indemnifying Party’s subcontractors, suppliers, employees, agents or representatives): (i) intentional misconduct, negligence, or fraud; (ii) breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made herein; (iii) breach of the confidentiality or disclosure provisions herein; (iv) infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or any other intellectual property right; or (v) violation of applicable law or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article shall not apply to the extent that a claim is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be arising from Indemnified Party’s negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of applicable law or regulation.
Upon written request by Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall defend Indemnitee (if requested by Indemnitee in the name of Indemnitee) against any third-party claims, which if proven would result in an indemnification obligation under this clause. Upon acceptance of this indemnity obligation, Indemnitor may choose the attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved, in writing, by Indemnitee. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Indemnitee retains counsel to monitor or assist with a case, such counsel will be at the sole expense of Indemnitee. If Indemnitor fails to provide such counsel, Indemnitee may elect to engage its own attorneys and other professionals, at Indemnitor’s expense, to defend or to assist in the defense of the claim. In all events, case strategy will be determined by Indemnitee if Indemnitee so elects and no proceeding will be settled without Indemnitee’s prior approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
Indemnitee shall promptly notify Indemnitor of any claim that is covered by this indemnification provision and shall authorize representatives of Indemnitor to settle or defend any such claim or suit and to take charge of any litigation in connection therewith.
IP Infringement Indemnity
Licensor will indemnify and defend Licensee against any third-party claim that Licensor product infringes on another person’s or company’s patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property rights enforceable in the United States. Licensor shall have no obligation under this Section for any claim resulting or arising from Licensee’s modification of a Licensor product, or from any combination, operation, or use of such product with third-party products. Licensor’s duty to indemnify under this Section is contingent upon Licensor receiving prompt notice of a claim and Licensor’s right to solely control resolution of a claim. The Licensee shall give all reasonable assistance requested by Licensor (at Licensor’s expense) in relation to any claim. Except for Licensor’s duty to defend, Licensee’s sole remedy for an indemnified claim under this IP Indemnity provision is as follows: Licensor will, at its expense and in its discretion either (a) resolve the claim in a way that permits Licensee’s continued ownership and use of the affected Licensor product, (b) provide a comparable, non-infringing replacement at no cost to Licensee, or (c) accept return of such product freight collect and provide a reasonable depreciated refund. This IP Indemnity provision is the exclusive statement of Licensor’s liability for indemnifying Licensee and nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere will obligate Licensor to provide any greater indemnity to Licensee.
-

- Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable.

- No Implied Waivers. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this License Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions or of the right of such party thereafter to enforce that or any other provision.
- Equitable Relief. Licensee agrees that any breach of this License Agreement by Licensee may cause irreparable damage and that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any and all remedies at law, AATD-CS or their authorized distributor shall have the right to seek an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the requirement of posting a bond or proving injury as a condition for relief.
