c) Licensor will have no obligation to indemnify Licensee under this Section 7 if the infringement or misappropriation results from Licensee’s: (i) modification of the Licensed Products; (ii) combination, operation or use of the Licensed Products with non-Licensor software\data products if such claim of infringement or misappropriation would have been avoided had such combination, operation or use not occurred; (iii) use of the Licensed Products in breach of this Agreement or an Order to the extent the breach gives rise to the claim; or (iv) use of other than the most current release of the Licensed Products if such claim of infringement or misappropriation could have been avoided by Licensee’s use of such current release of the Licensed Products, and Licensor delivered such superseding version to Licensee at no additional cost and notified Licensee of the need to use such version.
8. Maintenance, Data Updates, Subscriptions; Renewal of Term License.
a) Licensee will obtain maintenance services as further defined below (“Maintenance Services”) for Software and Data Updates for Data Products for the initial term set forth in the Order and for the fees set forth therein.

Each renewal of Maintenance Services will be at Licensor’s then-current rates.
