                  8.2.1 INTRAWARE INDEMNITY. Intraware shall defend or settle,
at its option, any action brought against Sun to the extent it is based on a
claim that use, reproduction or distribution by Sun of the Intraware portion of
the Intraware Products furnished hereunder within the scope of a license granted
hereunder directly infringes any valid U.S. copyright, U.S. patent or U.S. trade
secret. Intraware shall also defend any action brought against Sun to the extent
that it is based on a claim that the Intraware trademark(s) Sun is permitted to
use hereunder directly infringes any valid United States trademark. Intraware
will pay resulting costs, damages and legal fees finally awarded against Sun in
such action which are attributable to such claim provided that Sun: (a) promptly
notifies Intraware in writing of any such claim and Intraware has sole control
of the defense and all related settlement negotiations; and (b) cooperates with
Intraware, at Intraware's expense, in defending or settling such claim.

     Should an Intraware Produce become, or be likely to become in Intraware's
opinion, the subject of infringement of such U.S. patent, copyright or trade
secret, Intraware may


                                       -10-
<PAGE>

procure for Sun: (i) the right to continue using the same; or (ii) replace or
modify it to make it non-infringing. In the event that Intraware shall
reasonably determine that neither (i) nor (ii) above is commercially
practicable, Intraware may terminate the license for the infringing Intraware
Product and refund Sun for the fees that Sun has paid hereunder (excluding
the initial payment) up to [*]. Intraware shall have no obligation or
liability for, and Sun shall defend, indemnify and hold Intraware harmless
from and against any claim based upon: (a) use of other than the then
current, unaltered version of the Intraware Product, unless the infringing
portion is also in the then current, unaltered release; (b) use, operation or
combination of Intraware Products with non-Intraware programs, data,
equipment or documentation is such infringement would have been avoided but
for such use, operation or combination; (c) Sun's or its agent's activities
after Intraware has notified Sun that Intraware believes such activities may
result in such infringement; (d) compliance with Sun's designs,
specifications or instructions; (e) any modifications or marking of the
Intraware Products not specifically authorized in writing by Intraware; or
(f) third party software. The foregoing states the entire liability of
Intraware and the exclusive remedy of Sun with respect to infringement of any
intellectual property rights, whether under theory of warranty, indemnity or
otherwise.

                  8.2.2 SUN INDEMNITY. Sun shall defend or settle, at its
option, any action brought against Intraware to the extent it is based on a
claim that use, reproduction or distribution by Intraware of the Sun portion of
the Sun Products furnished hereunder within the scope of a license granted
hereunder directly infringes any valid U.S. copyright, U.S. patent or U.S. trade
secret. Sun will pay resulting costs, damages and legal fees finally awarded
against Intraware in such action which are attributable to such claim provided
that Intraware: (a) promptly (within twenty (20) days) notifies Sun in writing
of any such claim and Sun has sole control of the defense and all related
settlement negotiations; and (b) cooperates with Sun, at Sun's expense, in
defending or settling such claim.

     Should a Sun Product become, or be likely to become in Sun's opinion,
the subject of infringement of such U.S. patent, copyright or trade secret,
Sun may procure for Intraware: (i) the right to continue using the same; or
(ii) replace or modify it to make it non-infringing. In the event that Sun
shall reasonably determine that neither (i) nor (ii) above is commercially
practicable, Sun may terminate the license for the Infringing Sun Product and
pay Intraware an amount representing the fees that Sun has paid hereunder
(excluding the initial payment) up to [*]. Sun shall have no obligation or
liability for, and Intraware shall defend, indemnify and hold Sun harmless
from and against any claim based upon: (a) use of other than the then
current, unaltered version of the Sun Product, unless the infringing portion
is also in the then current, unaltered release; (b) use, operation or
combination of Sun Products with non-Sun programs, data, equipment or
documentation if such infringement would have been avoided but for such use,
operation or combination; (c) Intraware's or its agent's activities after Sun
has notified Intraware that Sun believes such activities may result in such
infringement; (d) compliance with Intraware's designs, specifications or
instructions; (e) any modifications or marking of the Sun Products not
specifically authorized in writing by Sun; or (f) third party software. The
foregoing states the entire liability of Sun and the exclusive remedy of
Intraware with respect to infringement of any intellectual property rights,
whether under theory of warranty, indemnity or otherwise.

                  8.2.3 Neither party will have any liability to the other for
any claim of infringement in this Section 8.2 based on (i) the other party's
continued use or distribution, as the case may be, of a superseded product after
the indemnifying party has given reasonable notice and a reasonable opportunity
to update its use, or an altered release, except for such alteration(s) or
modification(s) which have been made by the indemnifying party or under the
indemnifying party's direction, if such infringement would have been avoided by
the use of a current, unaltered release of such product, or (ii) the
combination, operation, or use of any Services furnished under this Agreement
with programs or data not created by the indemnifying party if such infringement
would have been avoided by the use of the Services without such programs or
data.
