<br />10.2 Infringement.
<br />(a) If any action or proceeding brought against Licensee is based on a claim of
<br />infringement arising out of Licensee's use of all or any portion of a Contributed Database included in the Licensed Products, and if
<br />Licensee notifies DMP within thirty (30) days after the receipt of knowledge of any such action or proceeding, DMP shall, at its own
<br />expense, do the following to assure continuation of the use of the Licensed Products and Documentation: (i) procure for Licensee
<br />the right to continue to use any part of the Licensed Product and Documentation affected by such action or proceeding; or (ii)
<br />replace or modify, with Licensee's approval, any Licensed Products and Documentation determined to be infringing such that the
<br />infringement is removed; or (iii) failing (i) or (ii) above reimburse Licensee for the pro rata portion of the Licensed Products license
<br />fee paid to DMP by Licensee, if any, for any period in which Licensee is unable to use the Licensed Product as a result of such
<br />action or proceeding. Licensee shall exert its best efforts to cooperate with DMP in DMP's defense of such actions and proceedings.
<br />DMP shall give Licensee prompt written notice of any potential infringement problems of which it becomes aware.
<br />(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, DMP and Contributors shall
<br />have no warranty, liability or obligation with respect to Peripheral Products or to any modifications of the Database by Licensee if,
<br />absent the incorporation of the Licensed Products or modifications made by Licensee, the claim of infringement would not have
<br />occurred. Further, if any claim, suit or demand is asserted by a third party that, as a result of modifications by the Licensee, the
<br />Licensed Products as so modified infringes on intellectual property right of the third party or that Peripheral Products infringe on
<br />intellectual property right of the third party, Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless DMP with respect to any and all
<br />losses, necessary and reasonable costs, liabilities or damages resulting from or in conjunction with such claim (including reasonable
<br />and necessary attorneys' fees) and any judgment that may be awarded against DMP to the extent based upon such Licensee made
<br />modification or Peripheral Product.

<br />DOCUMENTATION, OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY
<br />WARRANTY OF DESIGN, OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR AGAINST INFRINGEMENT, EVEN
<br />IF DMP HAS BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH PURPOSE. NO AGENT OF DMP IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER OR EXCEED THE WARRANTY
<br />OBLIGATIONS OF DMP AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
<br />10.4 Limitation of Liability
<br />(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither DMP, Contributors
