In the event that Newell’s use of any Resultant Technology is enjoined, Developer shall promptly either procure for Newell the perpetual right to continue using such Resultant Technology, or shall replace or modify such Resultant Technology to make it non-infringing in a manner that is acceptable to Newell in its sole discretion.
