(a) The Licensor will defend and indemnify the Licensee for all costs (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising from a claim that the Software furnished and used within the scope of this Agreement infringes a U.S. copyright or U.S. patent provided that:

(i) the Licensee notifies the Licensor in writing within 30 days of the claim;
