  3. Intellectual Property Indemnity. Dingo agrees to indemnify the Customer from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) which the Customer may suffer or incur in favour of a third party, arising out of any claim, suit, action or proceeding (“Claim”) by such third party:

(a)         for failure of Dingo to comply with any governmental law, statute, ordinance, administrative order, rule or regulation applicable to its business; and

In the event of a claim of infringement, Dingo may:

(c)        procure for the Customer a right to continue to use the Software;

(d)       replace or modify the Software with software that has substantially similar functional and performance capabilities as the Software but does not infringe such third-party rights; or

(e)        if Dingo, using commercially reasonably efforts is unable to do either of what is set out in Section 10(c) or (d) within a commercially reasonable time, then Dingo may terminate access to part or all of the Software.

The Customer will have the right to participate, with legal counsel of its choice and at its own expense, in the defence of any such Claim, provided Dingo retains control of such defence (including full authority in respect of any settlement or compromise negotiations). The Customer must give Dingo all necessary assistance relating to the Claim. Dingo shall report regularly to the Customer with respect to the conduct and status of such Claim. Dingo is not obligated to indemnify the Customer for Claims of infringement to the extent that such Claims result from any combination, operation, or use of the Software with any data, programs or equipment not supplied by Dingo for such purpose, if such infringement would have been avoided by not having such combination or operation or by avoiding such use.
