Each party shall only use Confidential Information furnished to it hereunder in furtherance of the activities contemplated by this Agreement, and it shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any other persons without the disclosing party's express written authorization.

(d) Required Disclosures. A receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party as required to comply with binding orders of governmental entities that have jurisdiction over it or as otherwise required by law, provided that the receiving party (i) gives the disclosing party reasonable written notice to allow it to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (except to the extent compliance with the foregoing would cause the receiving party to violate a court order or other legal requirement), (ii) discloses only such information as is required by the governmental entity or otherwise required by law, and (iii) and uses its best efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any Confidential Information so disclosed.

The parties hereto covenant and agree that this Section 6 will survive the expiration, termination, or cancellation of this Agreement for a period of 3 years, except for Confidential Information constituting a trade secret, with respect to which this Section will survive the expiration, termination, or cancellation of this Agreement for so long as such Confidential Information remains a trade secret.

7. Indemnification

(a) Indemnification. Each party shall indemnify the other, the other's affiliates, and all of their stockholders, officers, directors, agents, and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) at all times from and after the Effective Date against any liability, loss, damages (including punitive damages), claim, settlement payment, cost and expense, interest, award, judgment, diminution in value, fine, fee, and penalty, or other charge, including reasonable legal expenses, arising out of or relating to any claim by an unaffiliated third party (i) alleging that the use in accordance with this Agreement of the Software (in the case of LeadsPedia) or the Customer Data (in the case of Customer) infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property or privacy rights of the unaffiliated third party, or (ii) that arises or is alleged to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the indemnifying party (each a “Third Party Claim”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Software becomes the subject of such a claim of infringement then LeadsPedia may, at its option: (x) procure for Customer the right to use the Software free of any liability for infringement; (y) replace or modify the Software to make it non- infringing but with reasonably comparable functionality; or (z) if LeadsPedia determines that the previous two options are not available on a commercially reasonable basis, grant to Customer a credit for the unused portion of any prepaid fees and refund any deposits paid by Customer for the affected Software. Furthermore, LeadsPedia has no liability for, and no obligation to indemnify Customer against, any Third Party Claim arising or alleging based in whole or in part on use of the Software other than as specified in this Agreement, or its Documentation, including use with third party hardware and software products not specifically authorized by LeadsPedia.

(b) Indemnification Process. The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any Third Party Claim, stating the nature and basis of the Third Party Claim, to the extent known. The indemnifying party shall have sole control over the defense and settlement of any Third Party Claim, provided that, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the above-described notice, the indemnifying party notifies the Indemnified Party of its election to so assume full control. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim, except that the Indemnified Party's legal expenses in exercising this right shall be deemed legal expenses subject to indemnification hereunder to the extent that (x) the indemnifying party fails or refuses to assume control over the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period set forth above; (y) the Indemnified Party deems it reasonably necessary to file an answer or take similar action to prevent the entry of a default judgment, temporary restraining order, or preliminary injunction against it; or (z) representation of both parties by the same counsel would, in the opinion of that counsel, constitute a conflict of interest. The indemnifying party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, except for a complete settlement requiring only the payment of money damages to be paid by the indemnifying party.
