Double R Solutions at its own expense shall (i) defend, or at its option settle, any claim or suit against Customer on the basis of infringement of any U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret by the Product in any country that has a bilateral trade agreement on intellectual property rights with the United States and (ii) pay any final judgement entered against Customer on such issue or any settlement thereof; provided (a) Double R Solutions has the right to control and direct the defense and/or settlement, (b) Customer notifies Double R Solutions promptly in writing of each such claim or suit and gives Double R Solutions all information known to Customer relating thereto, and (c) Customer cooperates with Double R Solutions in the settlement and/or defense. If all or any part of the Product is, or in the opinion of Double R Solutions may become, the subject of any claim or suit for infringement of such intellectual property rights, Double R Solutions may, and in the event of any adjudication that the Product or any part thereof does infringe or if the use of the Product or any part thereof is enjoined, Double R Solutions shall, at its expense, have the option to: (i) obtain the right to continue use of the Product; (ii) replace or modify the Product so that it is no longer infringing and has substantially equivalent functionality; or (iii) if none of the foregoing remedies is commercially feasible, refund the license fees paid by Customer hereunder, if any, less depreciation for use assuming straight line depreciation over a five (5)-year useful life and terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Double R Solutions shall have no liability under this section if the alleged infringement arises from (i) the use of other than the current unmodified release of the Product, (ii) use of the Product in a manner other than that specified in this Agreement, or (iii) modification of the Product or combination of the Product with other equipment or software not provided by Double R Solutions, in each case if such action would have been avoided but for such use or combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing states Double R Solutions’s entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy for proprietary rights infringement relating to the Product.
