       (i) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Licensed Software;

       (ii) replace or modify the Licensed Software so that they are functionally equivalent but do not violate, infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights of a third party;

       or

       (iii) if Licensor is unable to provide one of the foregoing remedies under reasonable terms, or otherwise determines in its discretion that such remedies are or become economically impractical, then Licensor may require Licensee to return the Licensed Software to Licensor and Licensor shall refund any license fees paid by Licensee for the Licensed Software for the current year, as reduced in accordance with a straight-line depreciation schedule commencing on the date of delivery of the Licensed Software.

       In addition, if the use of the Licensed Software or any portion thereof is held, or in Licensor’s reasonable opinion is likely to be held, to constitute violation, infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of a third party, whether or not in connection with an Action, Licensor may, within a reasonable time, at its option either:

       (i) secure for Client the right to continue the use of such infringing item;

       Or

       (ii) replace, at Licensor’s sole expense, such item with a substantially equivalent non-infringing item or modify such item so that it becomes non-infringing.

    5. The provisions of this Section 11 state Licensor’s entire liability and Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any violation, infringement or misappropriation, or claim of thereof.
11. Equitable Remedies

    Licensee acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Licensee or its Representatives may cause irreparable harm to Licensor for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Licensee or its Representatives, the Licensor shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available at law (which Licensor does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), be entitled to a temporary restraining order, injunction, specific performance and any other equitable relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, and the parties hereby waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or the showing of actual monetary damages in connection with such claim.
