infringement of any copyright, mask work right, or duly issued United States
patent and Seller shall pay all damages and costs finally awarded therein
against Buyer, provided that Seller is promptly informed and furnished a copy of
each communication, notice or other action relating to the alleged infringement
and is given complete authority, information and assistance (at Seller's
expense) necessary to defend or settle said suit or proceeding; provided, that
Seller shall not be obligated to defend or be liable for costs and damages if
the infringement arises out of compliance with Buyer's specifications, or from a
combination with, and addition to, or modification of the goods after delivery
by Seller, or from use of the goods, or any part thereof, in the practice of a
process, or from any settlement or compromise incurred or made by Buyer without
Seller's prior written consent. Seller's obligations hereunder shall not apply
to any infringement occurring after Buyer has received notice of such suit or
proceeding alleging infringement unless Seller has given written permission for
the continued use of goods after notice of such infringement. If any goods
manufactured and supplied by Seller to Buyer shall be held to infringe any
copyright, mask work right, or United States patent and Buyer shall be enjoined
from using same, Seller at its option and its expense, will use good faith
efforts to, (a) procure for Buyer the right to use such goods free of any
liability for infringement, or (b) replace such goods with a non-infringing
substitute otherwise complying substantially with all requirements of this
contract, or (c) refund the purchase price and the transportation costs of such
goods. If the infringement by Buyer is alleged prior to completion of delivery
of the goods under this contract, Seller may decline to make further shipments
without being in breach of this contract, and, provided Seller has not been
enjoined from selling said goods to Buyer, Seller agrees to supply said goods to
Buyer if Buyer furnishes to Seller the written agreement of Buyer that the
indemnity obligations herein stated with respect to Seller shall reciprocally
apply with respect to Buyer.
Seller's liability and obligations arising out of this section with respect
to any units shall not exceed the amount received by Seller from Buyer for such
units.
If any such suit or proceeding is brought against Seller based on a claim
that the goods manufactured by Seller in compliance with Buyer's specifications
and supplied to Buyer directly infringe any copyright, mask work right or United
States patent, then the indemnity obligations herein stated with respect to
Seller shall reciprocally apply with respect to Buyer. The sale by Seller of the
items ordered hereunder does not grant to, convey, or confer upon Buyer or
Buyer's customers, or upon anyone claiming under Buyer, a license, express or
implied, under any copyrights, mask work rights, or patent rights of Seller
covering or relating to any combinations, machines or processes in which said
items might be or are used.
