All work performed by the Executive in authoring, composing, inventing, creating, developing or modifying Company Intellectual Property and/or other work product to which copyright protection may attach during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be considered “works made for hire” to the extent permitted under applicable copyright law and will be considered the sole property of the Company. To the extent such works, work product or Company Intellectual Property are not considered “works made for hire,” all right, title, and interest to such works, work product and Company Intellectual Property, including, but not limited to, all copyrights, patents, trademarks, rights of publicity, and trade secrets, is hereby assigned to the Company and the Executive agrees, at the Company’s expense, to execute any documents requested by the Company or any of its affiliates at any time in relation to such assignment. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is and will be the sole and absolute owner of all trademarks, service marks, domain names, patents, copyrights, trade dress, trade secrets, business names, rights of publicity, inventions, proprietary know-how and information of any type, whether or not in writing, and all other intellectual property used by the Company or held for use in the business of the Company, including all Company Intellectual Property.

To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

If the Seller does not promptly undertake defense of any such claim after notice of same from the Buyer, the Buyer shall be entitled but not required to undertake the defense of such claim and shall have the right to direct and control the defense and any settlement and compromise negotiations concerning such claim with counsel selected by the Buyer and that the Seller shall have the right to approve any settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); all at the Seller’s expense.

Intellectual Property Indemnification Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all expenses, costs, claims, demands, causes of action and damages of whatever kind which Purchaser may incur in connection with any suit or claim of infringement of any patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriation of any trade secret or other intellectual property right resulting from (i) Purchaser's or its Affiliates' use of any portion of the Equipment as contemplated in the Proposal and otherwise in accordance with this Sales Agreement or applicable Equipment documentation delivered by Purchaser by Seller hereunder, or (ii) performance of the Work, except, in each case with respect to each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent directly attributable to Third-Party Hardware or Third-Party Software. Seller shall receive written notice from Purchaser within ten (10) days after proper legal service is received by Purchaser of any such suit or claim, provided that failure to receive such notice shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under this Article 3 except to the extent that Seller's ability to defend such suit or claim is materially impaired due to such failure. Seller is hereby authorized by Purchaser to, at Seller's expense, appear in and assume the defense of, and be given the complete control of the settlement of, any such suit or claim; provided that (a) if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates wishes to participate in the defense and settlement of the claim, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may do at its own cost, (b) Purchaser is kept timely informed of all material actions taken by Seller in connection with any such settlement, suit or claim (including, without limitation, of settlement offers and responses (to the extent the delivery of such information does not require Seller to waive work product immunity or attorney/client privilege or otherwise violate the terms of any protective order between Seller and any third party plaintiff or defendant)); and (c) Seller shall not enter into or acquiesce to any settlement admitting to or stipulating to any guilt, fault, liability or wrongdoing on the part of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without Purchaser's prior written consent. In the event that Purchaser's right or ability to use the Equipment is threatened or impaired as a result of any such suit or claim, Seller shall, at its own expense, do one of the following, (1) diligently procure for Purchaser the right to continue using the Equipment, or (2) modify the Equipment or, if necessary and by mutual agreement, substitute functionally equivalent Equipment, to the extent necessary to avoid infringement or misappropriation; provided in each case that if such modified or substituted equipment fails to comply with all Specifications applicable to the original, unmodified Equipment, Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable compensation with respect to such noncompliance. Seller hereby assigns to or otherwise transfers to the benefit of Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to any intellectual property right infringement or misappropriation indemnification or defense rights Seller may have with respect to Third Party Software and Third Party Hardware, and will, at its expense, take any actions as may be necessary to enable Purchaser to exercise such rights and realize such benefit to the fullest extent possible. It is mutually agreed that the provisions set forth herein are Seller's only obligations with respect to infringement of any patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriation of any trade secret or other intellectual property right.
