Nozomi Networks shall indemnify, defend and hold End User harmless against any and all liabilities, losses, settlement costs, fines, penalties, damages, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “Losses”) awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction arising from or in connection with any claim, demand, suit, cause of action or legal proceeding (each, a “Claim”) brought by an unaffiliated third party alleging that the Software, Subscription Services,  or Services or the use thereof according to this Agreement and any user documentation infringes any intellectual property right of a third party.  If the Software, Subscription Services, or Services, or any part thereof, is or may be held to infringe third party’s rights and its use is or may be enjoined, Nozomi Networks shall, at its option and expense: (i) procure for End User the right to continue using the Product(s) or Services, (ii) replace or modify the Product(s) or Services so they are non- infringing or, if neither (i) nor (ii) is reasonably practicable, then (iii) accept return of the applicable Product(s) or Services and refund to End User the amounts paid for such Product(s) or Services less depreciation based on a 5-year straight-line depreciation schedule. Nozomi Networks shall have no indemnity obligation to End User under this Section if the Claim results from: (i) Nozomi Networks’ compliance with End User’s designs, specifications or instructions; (ii) modification of the Services, Subscription Services, or the Software by End User or a third party; (iii) use of the Services, Subscriptions Services, or Software in a manner not authorized or intended by Nozomi Networks; or (iv) the combination, operation or use of the Services, Subscription Services, or the Software with products or items not furnished by Nozomi Networks (collectively, the “Excluded Activities”).

3. A Party seeking indemnification will provide the indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of the relevant claim (provided that the failure to provide prompt notice will only relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations to the extent it is materially prejudiced by such failure) and permit the indemnifying Party to control the defense, settlement or compromise of such claim. The indemnified Party may employ counsel at its own expense to assist it with respect to such claim; provided, however, that if such counsel is necessary because the indemnifying Party does not assume control, the indemnifying Party will be responsible for the expense of such counsel. The Party not controlling such defense may participate at its own expense. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such claim and the defense thereof.  Neither Party shall have authority to settle any claim on behalf of the other Party in a manner that requires the other Party to admit fault or attributes liability to the other Party without the other Party’s prior written consent).
