Supplemental Agreement, and Licensee shall not be responsible for actions by SymPro nor for

the Plan upon return of the Software and certification the Software is no longer in use by
Licensee.

defense and all related settlement negotiations; and (iii) Licensee provides SymPro with the

a superseded or altered release of the Software if the infringement would have been avoided by
the use of a current unaltered release of the Licensed Products.

shall have the option, at its expense, to: (i) modify the Licensed Products to be non - infringing; or

commercially reasonable to perform either of the above options, then SymPro may terminate the
