  2. By Customer. Customer will defend at its expense and advance sufficient fees and costs to OTTO in connection with any third party suit brought against OTTO, and will pay any settlement Customer makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim arising out of or relating to (1) the Customer Content misappropriates any trade secret recognized under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act or infringes any copyright or United States patent  or (2) an Exclusion. This Section ‎10.2 states the sole and exclusive remedy of OTTO and the entire liability of Customer, or any of the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, contractors or representatives of the foregoing, for the claims and actions described herein.
