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

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

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.
