to the public without violation of this Agreement; (c) is obtained by the

without an obligation of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by

considered a breach of this term; provided that the Recipient notifies the

Disclosing Party of such requirement prior to disclosure, and provided further

that the Recipient makes diligent efforts to limit disclosure.

any claim alleging that the Software infringes any United States patent or

copyright brought by a third party asserting rightful ownership pursuant to a

lawsuit filed in a court of competent jurisdiction to which Licensee is named

as a defendant provided that: (i) Licensee gives PolyServe reasonably prompt

notice in writing of any such suit and permits PolyServe, through counsel of

its choice, to answer the charge of infringement and defend such claim or

suit; (ii) Licensee provides PolyServe information, assistance and authority

to enable PolyServe to defend such suit; (iii) PolyServe shall not be

responsible for any settlement made by Licensee without PolyServe' written

permission; and (d) the Agreement and the license to the Software granted

thereto shall be immediately terminated.  PolyServe shall have no obligation

to indemnify or defend Licensee to the extent the alleged infringement is

based on: (a) a modification of the Software by anyone other than PolyServe;

(b) use of the Software in connection with any other software not licensed by

PolyServe to Licensee; or (c) use of the Software other than in accordance

with the Documentation or the terms set forth in this Agreement.

(and any exhibits referenced herein and attached hereto) embodies the entire

understanding of the parties with respect to Licensee's evaluation of the

Software and shall supersede all previous communications, representations or
