You will indemnify and hold Coghead, its licensors and each such party's parent organizations, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with: (i) a claim alleging that Your Application infringes the rights of, or has caused harm to, a third party; (ii) a claim, which if true, would constitute a violation by you of your representations and warranties; or (iii) a claim arising from the breach by you, provided in any such case that Coghead: (a) gives written notice of the claim promptly to you; (b) gives you sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim (provided that you may not settle or defend any claim unless you unconditionally release Coghead of all liability and such settlement does not affect Coghead's business or the Coghead Technology); (c) provides to you all available information and assistance; and (d) has not compromised or settled such claim.
4.2. Coghead Defense of Claims. Coghead will, at its expense, defend or settle any third party claim brought against you alleging that the Coghead Technology or any part thereof, when used by you within the scope of this Agreement, infringes a United States patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party ("IP Claim"). This obligation is subject to you notifying Coghead promptly in writing of the IP Claim (but in no event later than ten (10) days following your receipt of notice of such IP Claim), giving Coghead exclusive control of the defense and settlement thereof, and providing reasonable assistance and authority necessary to perform Coghead's obligations hereunder, at Coghead's expense.
4.3. Exclusions From Defense Obligation. Coghead will have no duty to defend any IP Claim to the extent such IP Claim is based on: (i) use of a superseded release of the Coghead Technology or portion thereof, if such infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current release of the Coghead Technology and Coghead timely notified you of the availability of the non-infringing release at no additional cost; (ii) the combination, operation, or use of the Coghead Technology furnished under this Agreement with programs or data not furnished by Coghead or with hardware or operating system Software other than the hardware platform and operating system with which the Coghead Technology is designed to function, if such infringement would have been avoided by the use of the Coghead Technology without such programs, data, hardware or operating system; (iii) compliance with designs, plans or specifications furnished by or on your behalf; (iv) modification or attempted modification of the Coghead Technology by anyone except Coghead or use or distribution of such modifications; or (v) your use of the Coghead Technology in a manner that results in defamation, violates the privacy rights of individuals, transmits material in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or uses any proprietary third party content without legally binding consent of such third party.
4.4. Licensee's Obligation to Defend. To the extent an IP Claim is excluded from Coghead's defense obligation by reason of Section 4.3 above ("Excluded Claims"), you will, at your sole expense, defend or settle the Excluded Claim. This obligation is subject to Coghead notifying you promptly in writing of the Excluded Claim (but in no event later than ten (10) days following Coghead receipt of notice of such Excluded Claim), giving you exclusive control of the defense thereof, and providing reasonable assistance and authority necessary to perform your obligations hereunder, at your expense.

Coghead may elect to assume control of the defense and settlement of any Excluded Claim with counsel of its choosing; provided however, that if you will not have breached its defense and settlement obligations hereunder, you will have no obligation to pay the costs and expenses of such Coghead-controlled defense or any settlement, judgment, award or damages in connection with such Excluded Claim.
4.6. Remedies. In the event that use of the Coghead Technology becomes, or in Coghead's reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of an IP Claim other than an Excluded Claim, Coghead will, at its option and expense: (a) obtain the continuing right to use the Coghead Technology for you; (b) modify the Coghead Technology so that it no longer infringes so long as the modified Coghead Technology retains substantially similar functionality; or (c) replace it with a product that does not infringe and has substantially similar functionality. If none of these remedies are available on commercially reasonable terms, then Coghead may terminate the license and refund the unamortized portion of the license fees paid (if any) for the infringing Coghead Technology prorated over a sixty (60)-month period.
