46.5

CONTRACTOR shall be liable for and shall indemnify and hold OWNER and other person
acting at the direction of or with the permission of the OWNER harmless against all claims,
cost and liability arising from:
(a) any breach of the warranties in ARTICLE 46.4; and
(b)
any CLAIM or allegation that the background IPR or the PROJECT IPR infringes
the IPR of a third party, is not being validly used, or is not validly registered.

46.6

CONTRACTOR shall promptly notify OWNER if it is or becomes aware of any claim or


allegation that any aspect of the background IPR, the PROJECT IPR or the WORK
infringes the IPR of a third party or that registered IPR in such items is not validly
registered. In such circumstances, OWNER shall be entitled to require CONTRACTOR (at
its own cost), to modify the WORK or replace the infringing components so as to avoid
infringement. Any such replacement or modification must not result in a failure to meet the
OWNERS requirements under the scope of WORK and shall not constitute a CHANGE
ORDER. Should CONTRACTOR fail to so modify the WORK or replace the infringing
components, OWNER may do so and all cost and expense incurred in doing so shall be
recoverable from CONTRACTOR by OWNER as a debt due and payable.

46.7

In the event of any claim or action brought against OWNER arising out of the matters
referred to in ARTICLE 46.6, CONTRACTOR shall, at its own expense, and if required by
OWNER, conduct all negotiations for the settlement of the same and any litigation that
may arise there from. OWNER will not, unless CONTRACTOR fails to take over the
conduct of the negotiation or litigation, make any admission which might be prejudicial
thereto.

46.8

OWNER grants to CONTRACTOR a non-exclusive, royalty free, revocable licence to use


and reproduce the OWNER IPR solely in performance of the WORK, and subject to such
conditions and restrictions on use as OWNER may notify to CONTRACTOR.
CONTRACTOR shall comply in all respects with the licence (including the conditions and
restrictions on use) referred to in this ARTICLE.

46.9

Subject to CONTRACTORS compliance with ARTICLE 46.8, OWNER shall indemnify and
hold CONTRACTOR harmless against all cost and liability arising from any claim that the
OWNER IPR infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party or is not validly
registered.
