If Customer’s use of the Licensed Software under the terms of this Agreement is, or in Donoma’s opinion is likely to be, enjoined due to the type of claim specified in this Paragraph, then Donoma shall at its sole option and expense either: (A) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Licensed Software under the terms of this Agreement; (B) replace or modify such Licensed Software so that it is noninfringing; or (C) if options (A) and (B) above cannot be accomplished by commercially reasonable means despite Donoma’s reasonable efforts, then Donoma may terminate this Agreement.

(b) Customer hereby releases Donoma’s officers, directors, employees, members, managers, insurers, agents and representatives (collectively, “Donoma Group”) from and against, and Customer hereby waives, any claim, demand, right or cause of action of whatever kind or nature that Customer has or may have against Donoma Group, and Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Donoma and Donoma Group from such claim, demand, right or cause of action, whether for injury to property or persons, arising in connection with or caused by any acts or omissions of Customer, including but not limited to any action taken by Customer in reliance upon or related to the Licensed Software.
