"nondefending party") against any action at its own expense and pay
the costs and damages awarded against the nondefending party or its
customer as a result of any action (and all prior related claims)

sublicensing of the Products licensed hereunder (the Tumbleweed
Products) infringes a patent, copyright, trademark, or other
intellectual property right, provided that the defending party is
notified promptly of such action, and that it shall enjoy sole

option and expense either (i) procure for the nondefending party or
its customer the right to continue to use the product; or (ii)
replace or modify the product so that it becomes non-infringing; or

SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING
FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
