7. Intellectual Property Indemnity
Subject to the Limitations Section set forth below, Tollring will defend, at its own expense, any claim, suit or proceeding brought against Licensee to the extent it is based upon a claim that the Software (“Indemnified Product”) obtained pursuant to this Agreement infringes upon any patent, or copyright, or misappropriates a trade secret of any third party (“Claim”).

If the Indemnified Product is, or in Tollring’s reasonable opinion might be, held to infringe or misappropriate as set forth above, Tollring may, at its option and expense replace or modify such Indemnified Product with a program substantially similar in functionality so as to avoid infringement or misappropriation, or procure the right for Licensee to continue the use of such Indemnified Product. If neither of such alternatives is, in Tollring’s opinion, commercially reasonable, such Indemnified Product shall be returned to Tollring, and Tollring shall refund the license fees paid by Licensee to Tollring or its Suppliers for such Indemnified Product, as limited by the next sentence.

The above exclusions apply to the extent that the infringement would have been avoided but for such improper use.

In the event of an infringement suit or action against Tollring that is based on any use or modification of the Indemnified Product by Licensee that is described in whole or part in any of the exceptions to Tollring’s indemnity as set forth above, Licensee will defend, hold harmless and indemnify Tollring from and against any such action or claim, and will pay all damages, costs, liabilities and losses incurred by Tollring.
