Except as described on Schedule 5.9,(i) each of the material Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, (ii) no material part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and (iii) no claim has been made to Borrower that any material part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party. Exhibit D is a true, correct and complete list of each of Borrower’s Patents, registered Trademarks, registered Copyrights, and material agreements under which Borrower licenses Intellectual Property from third parties (other than shrink-wrap software licenses), together with application or registration numbers, as applicable, owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary, in each case as of the Closing Date. Borrower is not in material breach of, nor has Borrower failed to perform any material obligations under, any of the foregoing contracts, licenses or agreements and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no third party to any such contract, license or agreement is in material breach thereof or has failed to perform any material obligations thereunder.

Seller shall receive written notice from Purchaser within ten (10) days after proper legal service is received by Purchaser of any such suit or claim, provided that failure to receive such notice shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under this Article 3 except to the extent that Seller's ability to defend such suit or claim is materially impaired due to such failure. Seller is hereby authorized by Purchaser to, at Seller's expense, appear in and assume the defense of, and be given the complete control of the settlement of, any such suit or claim; provided that (a) if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates wishes to participate in the defense and settlement of the claim, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may do at its own cost, (b) Purchaser is kept timely informed of all material actions taken by Seller in connection with any such settlement, suit or claim (including, without limitation, of settlement offers and responses (to the extent the delivery of such information does not require Seller to waive work product immunity or attorney/client privilege or otherwise violate the terms of any protective order between Seller and any third party plaintiff or defendant)); and (c) Seller shall not enter into or acquiesce to any settlement admitting to or stipulating to any guilt, fault, liability or wrongdoing on the part of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without Purchaser's prior written consent. In the event that Purchaser's right or ability to use the Equipment is threatened or impaired as a result of any such suit or claim, Seller shall, at its own expense, do one of the following, (1) diligently procure for Purchaser the right to continue using the Equipment, or (2) modify the Equipment or, if necessary and by mutual agreement, substitute functionally equivalent Equipment, to the extent necessary to avoid infringement or misappropriation; provided in each case that if such modified or substituted equipment fails to comply with all Specifications applicable to the original, unmodified Equipment, Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable compensation with respect to such noncompliance. Seller hereby assigns to or otherwise transfers to the benefit of Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to any intellectual property right infringement or misappropriation indemnification or defense rights Seller may have with respect to Third Party Software and Third Party Hardware, and will, at its expense, take any actions as may be necessary to enable Purchaser to exercise such rights and realize such benefit to the fullest extent possible. It is mutually agreed that the provisions set forth herein are Seller's only obligations with respect to infringement of any patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriation of any trade secret or other intellectual property right.

If the Seller does not promptly undertake defense of any such claim after notice of same from the Buyer, the Buyer shall be entitled but not required to undertake the defense of such claim and shall have the right to direct and control the defense and any settlement and compromise negotiations concerning such claim with counsel selected by the Buyer and that the Seller shall have the right to approve any settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); all at the Seller’s expense.
