to pay amounts equal to any taxes or fees resulting from
this Agreement or any activities hereunder, exclusive
of taxes based on AD MANTIS’s net income. CUSTOMER shall

interest, in which event information concerning the security
interest may be obtained from AD MANTIS.

opinion are likely to become, the subject of such a claim,
CUSTOMER will permit AD MANTIS, at its option and expense,
either to procure the right for the CUSTOMER to continue

return the affected AD MANTIS Mfg. Product upon written
request by AD MANTIS. AD MANTIS agrees to grant the CUSTOMER
a credit for returned products as depreciated. The depreciation
shall be an equal amount per year over the life of the
product as established by AD MANTIS. AD MANTIS shall have

the CUSTOMER’s modification of the products or their combination,
operation, use with other than AD MANTIS Mfg. Products

to the CUSTOMER regarding infringement or the like.

regarding patents and copyrights may be passed through
