Licensor will indemnify and defend the Sprint Indemnitees from and against all Damages arising out of any claim by a third party against a Sprint Indemnitee that the Software Product, any Services or any resulting use, sale or license of any Software Product or Services constitutes an infringement of any patent, trademark or copyright of any country or the misappropriation of any trade secret. The foregoing obligation of indemnification shall not apply to the extent that such claim is due to products or services (i) that are developed according to detailed Specifications provided by Sprint, unless Licensor knows, or has reason to know without conducting any patent search or other investigations, that such Specifications provided by Sprint will, or are likely to, infringe any patent (ii) that are modified without authorization, (iii) combined with other products, processes or materials not approved by Licensor, or reasonably contemplated by the parties, where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, or (iv) where Sprint continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof and being provided with modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement.

In the event that a Sprint customer seeks indemnification from a Sprint Indemnitee or Licensor for a claim by a third party because the Software Product, any Services or any resulting use of any Software Product or Services constitutes an infringement of any patent, trademark or copyright of any country or the misappropriation of any trade secret not otherwise excluded in this Section 14.4 above, then Sprint shall have the right to tender such claim to Licensor. Subject to Section 14.5, Licensor will indemnify and defend the Sprint customer from and against all Damages resulting from such claim.

14.5 | Indemnification Procedures. |
Promptly, upon becoming aware of any matter that is subject to the provisions of Sections 14.1, 14.2 or 14.4 (a “Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) must give notice of such Claim to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”), accompanied by copies of any written documentation regarding the Claim received by the Indemnified Party.
The Indemnifying Party has the right, at its option, with its own counsel and at its own expense, to compromise or defend any such Claim. The Indemnified Party has the right, at its option, to participate in the settlement or defense of any Claim being handled by the Indemnifying Party, with its own counsel and at its own expense; but the Indemnifying Party will have the right to control such settlement or defense. The Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or contains any admission or acknowledgement of wrongdoing (whether in tort or otherwise) without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent. The parties will cooperate in any such settlement or defense and give each other full access to all relevant information.
If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to take any action within 30 days after receipt of a notice of a Claim or fails to proceed in good faith with the prompt resolution of the Claim, the Indemnified Party, with prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party and without waiving any rights to indemnification, may defend the Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party on demand for all Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending and settling such Claim.
Neither party is obligated to indemnify and defend the other with respect to a Claim (or portions of a Claim): (i) if the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnifying Party of such Claim promptly and to provide reasonable cooperation and information to defend or settle the Claim and (ii) if, and only to the extent that, the failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to satisfactorily defend or settle the Claim.
15.0 | LIMITATION OF DAMAGES. |
NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR (A) CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR (B) FOR ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE TO LICENSOR FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT FOR:
