the confidential treatment of the Confidential Information. Regardless of whether a protective order or
other assurance is obtained, the Recipient shall furnish only that portion of
the Discloser’s Confidential Information which is legally required to be
furnished and to cooperate with any reasonable efforts by the Discloser to

defense of any action on such claim and all negotiations for its settlement or
compromise; (iii) Licensee shall cooperate with Starfish ETL, at Starfish ETL’s

claim; (iv) such claim does not arise from Licensee’s modifications not
authorized by Starfish ETL; and (v) should the Subscription Software become, or
in Starfish ETL’s opinion likely to become, subject to such claim of
infringement, then Licensee shall permit Starfish ETL, at Starfish ETL’s
option and expense, either (a) to
procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Subscription Software, or
(b) to replace or modify the Subscription Software so that it becomes noninfringing and performs in a substantially similar
