4. INDEMNIFICATION

1. CoreMedia Indemnification. CoreMedia shall defend Subscriber from any third- party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (“Third-Party Claim”) alleging that the Services infringe such third-party’s intellectual property rights and shall pay all amounts finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in settlement; provided that the foregoing obligation shall not apply with respect to any Third-Party Claim based in whole or in part upon: (i) CoreMedia’s compliance with Subscriber’s specifications; (ii) Subscriber’s use of the Services in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment, or technology not provided or authorized by CoreMedia; or (iii) Third-Party Products. If the Services or any component thereof become, or in the opinion of CoreMedia are likely to become, the subject of a Third-Party Claim (each an “Allegedly Infringing Item”), then CoreMedia will use reasonable efforts, at its cost and expense, to: (a) procure for Subscriber the right to continue using the Allegedly Infringing Item at no additional cost to Subscriber; (b) replace or modify, in whole or in part, the Allegedly Infringing Item to make the Services no longer infringing; or (c) if neither (a) nor (b) are reasonably commercially available to CoreMedia and the Allegedly Infringing Item is a material part of the Services, either Party may terminate the Agreement, effective immediately on written notice, and CoreMedia will provide to Subscriber a refund of Fees prepaid for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Period.
2. Subscriber Indemnification. Subscriber shall indemnify and, at CoreMedia's option, defend CoreMedia and its affiliates, and its and their respective employees, contractors, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns from and against any damages and costs resulting from a Third-Party Claim that the Subscriber Data, or any use of the Subscriber Data in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third-party's rights and any Third-Party Claims based on Subscriber's or any use of the Services in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment, or technology not provided or authorized by CoreMedia in writing or the Documentation.
3. Indemnity Procedures. The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) will provide the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”): (i) prompt written of any Third-Party Claim (provided that the Indemnified Party’s failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent material prejudice results from such failure); (ii) sole control over the defense and settlement of the Third-Party Claim as described above (provided that neither Party may settle any Third-Party Claim in a manner that imposes any obligation of any kind on the other Party without the other Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); and (iii) all reasonable cooperation, at the Indemnifying Party’s request and expense, in the defense and settlement of the Third-Party Claim.
4. Sole Remedy for IP Infringement. SECTION SETS FORTH COREMEDIA’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY, AND SUBSCRIBER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OF A THIRD-PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
