The Seller shall release the Purchaser and its contractors of any tier from all liability and claims of any nature resulting from the performance of such work. This release shall apply even in the event of fault of negligence of the party released and shall extend to the directors, officers and employees of such party. The Seller's contractual obligations, including warranty, shall not be deemed to be reduced, in any way, because such work is performed or caused to be performed by the Purchaser. 14. PATENTS. Whenever the Seller is required to use any design, device, material or process covered by letter, patent, trademark or copyright, the Seller shall indemnify and save harmless the Purchaser from any and all claims for infringement by reason of the use of such patented design, device, material or process in connection with the contract, and shall indemnify the Purchaser for any cost, expense or damage which it may be obliged to pay by reason of such infringement at any time during the prosecution or after the completion of the work.
