  1. Otti. Otti will defend, indemnify, and hold Customer, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, employees, consultants, agents and suppliers (each a "Customer Indemnitee") harmless for any loss, damage, expense, liability, or costs finally awarded or entered into in settlement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), resulting from a claim brought against a Customer Indemnitee by a third party to the extent such claim alleges that such Customer Indemnitee's use of the Platform (as authorized in this Agreement) directly violates, infringes or misappropriates any of such third party's Intellectual Property Rights (a "Claim"). Otti will pay all damages (including reasonable attorney fees) finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction (or amounts agreed in a monetary settlement) in any such Claim. Otti will have no liability to Customer for any Claim that arises out of: (1) any unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of the Platform, (2) Customer's breach of this Agreement, (3) use of the Platform in combination with any other software, content, data, business process, or equipment not supported in the supplied by Otti, (4) any modification or alteration of the Platform by anyone other than Otti, or (5) Otti's compliance with any materials, designs, specifications or instructions provided by Customer (subsections (1) – (5) collectively, "Customer Acts").

Customer shall, at Otti's request, cost and expense, give Otti all reasonable assistance in connection with the conduct of the Claim.
  3. Remedy.
