C.            NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THE AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 8, AMI DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, ITS FUNCTIONALITY, ITS PERFORMANCE, ITS MERCHANTABILITY, ITS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

B.            In full discharge of its obligations under the warranty set forth in subparagraph 8A above, AMI shall defend LICENSEE in any legal proceeding to the extent the same is based upon a claim which, if true, would cause AMI to be in breach of said warranty or, at AMI’s option, it may settle such claim and AMI shall pay any amount that may be awarded in such proceeding or negotiated in such settlement,

 

C.            The foregoing obligations of AMI under subparagraph 8A and 8B, shall however, be conclusively deemed to have been waived by LICENSEE unless:

 

i.              LICENSEE gives prompt notice to AMI of the assertion of any such claim including copies of all letters, complaints, and other documents relating to the claim,

 

ii.             AMI has the right to select counsel and control the defense and/or settlement of such claims, subject to the right of LICENSEE to participate in any such action or proceeding at its own expense with counsel of its own choosing; and

 

iii.            LICENSEE assists AMI in the defense and settlement of such claims when and as requested by AMI including but not limited to granting AMI authority to defend and settle the same and providing information and documentation for such purposes.

 

D.            Should AMI be found in any legal proceeding to be in breach of the warranty set forth in subparagraph 8A above, AMI shall promptly, at its option, do any of the following as an acceptable remedy of the breach:

 

i.              Obtain a license for LICENSEE;

 

ii.             Modify the Licensed Software with non-infringing Software of similar functionality; or

E.            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall AMI’s obligation to LICENSEE under this Paragraph 8, exceed in the aggregate for any and all claims, damages or costs, [***]. LICENSEE acknowledges that such amount is sufficient to satisfy the essential purpose of the warranty.

NO OTHER WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND IS GIVEN OR OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY OR OTHERWISE COMPENSATE ASSUMED, EXPRESSLY OR, BY IMPLICATION, BY AMI WITH RESPECT TO ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, AND LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE DISCLAIMER IN PARAGRAPH 7C OF THIS AGREEMENT IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

 

G.            AMI shall have no liability or obligation with respect to any modifications by LICENSEE.  Further, in the event any claim is asserted by a third party that, as a result of such modifications by LICENSEE, the Licensed Software as so modified, infringes an Intellectual Property Right of the third party, LICENSEE shall indemnify AMI with respect to any and all costs or damages resulting from such claim and pay any judgment that may be awarded against AMI to the extent based upon such modification.
