7.INDEMNIFICATION.

7.1. Licensee hereby agrees to defend and indemnify Purchaser from and against all liabilities, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments and damages incurred by it or its Affiliates as a result of any claims by third parties in tort, contract or otherwise to the extent arising out of the use of or the exploitation by Licensee or a Licensee Affiliate of the rights licensed to it under this Agreement from and after the Closing.  Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstance shall Licensee be obligated to indemnify Purchaser with respect to any claim that the Licensed Technology or any Licensed Patent Right infringes, violates or misappropriates the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, or that arises from use of the assets acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement from and after the Closing.
