7.2 Dassault Systemes Indemnification. Dassault Systemes shall
indemnify and hold harmless PlanetCAD, and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, representatives and shareholders
from and against any claims, demands, suits, causes of action,
losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to any
material breach of Dassault Systemes' representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement.
7
7.3 PlanetCAD Indemnification. PlanetCAD shall indemnify and hold
harmless Dassault Systemes, its affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives and shareholders from and against any claims,
demands, suits, causes of action, losses, damages, judgments,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising out of or related to any material breach of
PlanetCAD's representations, warranties and covenants set
forth in this Agreement.
7.4 Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnification. Each Party
agrees to hold the other Party, its subsidiaries,
distributors, assignees and Affiliates, and their respective
officers, directors, employees, and shareholders
(collectively, the "Indemnities") harmless from and against
any claim of any nature, including, but not limited to,
administrative, civil or criminal procedures, which is or may
be made or raised against a Party's Indemnities by any third
party that the use or distribution of the Software that is the
subject of this Agreement and owned by the other Party,
infringes or violates any third party's patent, copyright,
trade secret or other intellectual property right in any
country. Indemnification hereunder shall cover all damages,
regardless of their nature, settlements, expenses and costs,
including costs of investigation, court costs and attorneys'
fees, and shall be for a period of seven (7) years from the

contingent on:

Party of any such claim or allegation;
(ii) Cooperation by the indemnified Party with the other
Party in its defense against the claim; and
(iii) The indemnified Parties obtaining the other Party's
prior written approval of any settlement, if any, by
the indemnified Party of such matters, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall have the
obligation to indemnify the other for any claims of
infringement based on any modification by the latest version
of its Software, or from the combination of its Software with
any other program, to the extent such claim would not have
arisen without such combination or from use of the unmodified
Software.
8
7.5 Additional Remedies. If the operation, distribution or use of
any Software that is the subject of this Agreement becomes, or
is likely to become, the subject of a claim involving the
infringement or other violation of any patent, copyright,
trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any
third party, the Parties will jointly determine in good faith
what appropriate steps can be agreed upon, with a view towards
curing such infringement or other violation, at the Software
owner's sole charge. Such steps may include, but are not
limited to:
(i) The owner securing the right for the other Party to
continue using the Joint Software, or
(ii) The owner replacing or modifying the Software so that
it becomes non-infringing.
If no other option is reasonably available, the owner of the
Software agrees to use its best efforts to withdraw, at its
sole expense, the infringing Software from the market.
8. TERM AND BREACH OF MATERIAL OBLIGATIONS
8.1 Term. This Agreement shall come into force as of the Effective

perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement,
the non-breaching Party has given written notice to the other
Party of such failure to perform, and the breach is not cured

non-breaching Party may terminate any and all of its
obligations to provide maintenance and support, as set forth

subject to the terms and conditions of the CNDA.

contained in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or
impair any right of either Party to enter into similar
agreements with other parties, or to develop, acquire, license
or market, directly or indirectly, other products or services,
competitive with those offered by the other Party.
9
9.3 Additional Instruments. Notwithstanding termination of this
Agreement, the Parties covenant and agree to execute and
deliver any additional instruments or documents necessary to
