RV to pay consideration to any third party. E&S accepts sole responsibility for
the enforcement of its IP rights, and for defense of any infringement,
invalidity, or other related claims brought against RV in connection with use of
licensed E&S IP. E&S indemnifies RV from direct expenses of legal claims brought

business or stoppage of work in connection with IP disputes. E&S makes these
assertions on the basis of full cooperation of RV in any IP legal proceeding.
