      after exercising reasonable efforts for a period not less than one hundred
      eighty (180) days and Reseller has elected to cease distributing the
      Software, Licensor may terminate this Agreement. If it reasonably appears
      that the liability of Licensor under this paragraph may exceed or has
      exceeded the cumulative liability limit specified in Section 14.1, then
      Licensor shall relinquish the sole control of the defense and/or
      settlement with respect to the actual or alleged infringement covered by
      this paragraph and Reseller shall have the right to obtain sole control,
      except that Licensor may retain some partial control as reasonably agreed
      by the parties. Subject always to the cumulative liability limit specified
      in Section 14.1, Licensor shall continue to have the obligation to
      promptly pay the costs and expenses of the defense of an indemnified claim
      hereunder, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and all
      other related costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Reseller
      in assuming and maintaining the defense. In such event, Reseller shall not
      have the right to effect a settlement on the part of Licensor, without the
      prior written consent of Licensor. The parties hereby agree that the
      specified cumulative limits on Licensor's liability under Section 14.1
      shall not apply to a failure of Licensor to relinquish control as
      described in this paragraph.

13.2  Infringement Claims. Notwithstanding anything else herein, Reseller may
      -------------------
      terminate this Agreement without further obligation in the event that a
      Qualifying Claim has not been settled, adjudicated or otherwise resolved
      to Reseller's sole satisfaction within one hundred eighty (180) days of
      Licensor's receipt of written notice of such claim from Reseller.

13.3  Liability Exclusion. Licensor shall have no liability to Reseller under
      -------------------
      this paragraph to the extent any Infringement Claim is based upon the (i)
      use of Software delivered hereunder in connection or in combination with
      equipment, devices or software not delivered by Licensor, or (ii) use of
      Software delivered hereunder in a manner not consistent with the
      description of the Software set forth in Exhibit I, or (iii) modification
      by Reseller of Software delivered; provided that such Infringement Claim
      would not have arisen but for such combination, use or modification.
      Licensor shall further have no liability to Reseller for any Infringement
      Claim based on Reseller's use or transfer of the Software delivered
      hereunder after Licensor's notice that Reseller shall cease use or
      transfer of such Software due to such claim. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE,
      LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR
      STATUTORY, FOR INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

      ARISING FROM LICENSOR'S BREACH OF THE AGREEMENT, BREACH OF WARRANTY,
      INFRINGEMENT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OF OTHER TORT, OR OTHERWISE
      WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE OR ANY SERVICES, IS LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT NOT
      TO EXCEED $[******]. THE FOREGOING SENTENCE IS NOT INTENDED TO LIMIT
