6. Indemnification

If a third party claims that the Software infringes any valid U.S. patent issued as of the effective date of this agree- ment or copyright, Telect will (as long as Licensee is not in default under this Agreement or any other agreement with Telect) defend Licensee against such claim at Telect’s expense and pay all damages that a court finally awards, pro- vided that (a) Licensee promptly notifies Telect in writing of the claim, and (b) allows Telect to control, and cooper- ates with Telect in, the defense or any related settlement negotiations. If such a claim is made or appears possible, Telect may, at its option, secure for Licensee the right to continue to use the Software, modify or replace the Software so it is noninfringing, or, if neither of the foregoing options is reasonably available in Telect’s judgment, terminate this Agreement and provide to Licensee a pro rata refund of the Product purchase price depreciated on a straight-line basis over a five-year period. However, Telect has no obligation for any claim based on a modified version of the Software or its combination, operation, or use with any product, data or apparatus not provided by Telect. THIS PARAGRAPH STATES TELECT’S ENTIRE OBLIGATION TO LICENSEE AND LICENSEE’S SOLE AND EX- CLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.
