additional unallocated storage space is available on the Service, ConnectMe Mobile
will use commercially reasonable efforts to temporarily allocate a portion of such
additional storage space to satisfy Customer’s excess storage space requirements.
Customer will be charged for all additional storage space in accordance with then
current rates for such additional storage space. Customer further understands and

to store messages or other information in excess of Customer’s designated storage
space limitation.

arising out of any claims by any third party that the Services (excluding any material
provided or furnished by, or included at the direction of, Customer) infringe upon
United States’ copyright or any United States patent issued as of the date of the

Mobile may, in its discretion, either procure a license to enable Customer to continue
to use the allegedly infringing item or develop or obtain a non-infringing substitute

that neither of the foregoing options is commercially reasonable or practicable,
then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, ConnectMe
Mobile may immediately terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer any prepaid
fees for the then-remaining or unexpired portion of the Term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, ConnectMe Mobile shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend, or hold

by Customer (or by anyone under Customer’s direction or control or using logins,
IDs or passwords assigned to Customer) to the Services; (ii) a modification made
by ConnectMe Mobile pursuant to Customer’s order or specification or in reliance
on materials or information provided by Customer; or (iii) the use by Customer (or
by anyone under Customer’s direction or control or using logins, IDs or passwords
assigned to Customer) of any Services other than in accordance with this Agreement.

Mobile’s entire liability, for any claim that any ConnectMe Mobile Materials violate
or infringe upon the rights of any third party.
11.2 Third Party Claims. Except
as provided in Section 11.1 Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold the ConnectMe
Mobile Associates harmless from and against all Claims, and shall pay all Losses,
arising out of or related to third-party claims based upon: (i) Customer’s (or that
of anyone authorized by Customer or using logins, IDs or passwords assigned to Customer)
use, non-use, or modification of any ConnectMe Mobile Materials; or (ii) the violation
of any rights of any third party in connection with Customer’s (or that of anyone
authorized by Customer or using logins, IDs or passwords assigned to Customer) use,
non-use, or modification of any ConnectMe Mobile Materials.
11.3 Defense. With regard to any
Claim subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 11, the indemnified Party
shall grant the indemnifying Party the right to assume full defense and control
of such Claim and shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying Party regarding

collection costs in the event of late payment or nonpayment by Customer.

of this Agreement shall be construed, to the extent possible, so as to be valid

provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and all other provisions shall
remain in full force and effect.

Party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of the is Agreement or any right
or remedy available hereunder or at law or in equity, or to exercise any option
herein provided, shall not constitute a waiver of such provision, right, remedy,

default by either Party shall not be deemed a continuing waiver, but shall apply
solely to the instance to which such waiver is directed.
