a.

c. Contractor, at its own expense, shall defend any action brought against CALPIA to the extent that such action is based upon a claim that the goods or software supplied by the contractor or the operation of such goods pursuant to a current version of contractor supplied operating software infringes a United States patent or copyright or violates a trade secret.

California Prison Industry Authority Page 13 of 19 patent or copyright or a trade secret, CALPIA shall permit the contractor at its option and expense either to procure for CALPIA the right to continue using the goods or software, or to replace or modify the same so that they become non-infringing. If none of these options can reasonably be taken, or if the use of such goods or software by CALPIA shall be prevented by injunction, the contractor agrees to take back such goods or software and make every reasonable effort to assist CALPIA in procuring substitute goods or software. If, in the sole opinion of CALPIA, the return of such infringing goods or software makes the retention of other goods or software acquired from the contractor under this contract impractical, CALPIA shall then have the option of terminating such contracts, or applicable portions thereof, without penalty or termination charge. The contractor agrees to take back such goods or software and refund any sums CALPIA has paid contractor less any reasonable amount for use or damage.
