If an Audit leads JBI to conclude that the Gross Revenue it paid to RockTenn for a particular year is more than the amount of Gross Revenue it believes RockTenn was entitled to receive, then, unless RockTenn disputes such conclusion, RockTenn shall promptly pay the difference to JBI (by cheque or wire transfer); provided, however, such Audit may not be conducted more than one (1) year after the particular year that is being audited.

RockTenn shall have the right to immediately access the Steel Shed if it determines that an emergency situation exists.  JBI shall provide RockTenn keys to the Steel Shed. The costs of any Inspection shall be borne by RockTenn unless the Inspection reveals a violation of Laws or this Agreement, in which case RockTenn’s Inspection costs shall be reimbursed by JBI within ten (10) Business Days of RockTenn’s issuance of a written demand for the same.  Further, JBI shall, at its sole expense, immediately take all actions as RockTenn may reasonably require to remedy any and all violations discovered during an Inspection.

Indemnification Procedures







 


Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any claim, event, fact or demand which gives rise to, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder, any party seeking indemnification under this Section (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice of such claim or demand (“Notice of Claim”) to the party from which indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”), setting forth the amount of the claim.  The Indemnified Party shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party, in reasonable detail, such information as it may have with respect to such indemnification claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same).  No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless, except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have adversely affected the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend against, settle or satisfy any loss, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.


 


If the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim given by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section is a claim or demand asserted by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days after the Date of the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend such third party claim or demand on behalf of the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives all records and other materials which are reasonably required in the defense of such third party claim or demand and shall otherwise cooperate with, and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of, such third party claim or demand, and so long as the Indemnifying Party is defending such third party claim or demand in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or compromise such third party claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third party claim or demand, at its own expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to engage one separate counsel to participate in such defense, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, if (A) outside counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have advised that there may be a conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to it or to other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or (B)(1) the claim seeks non-monetary relief that, if granted, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (2) the Indemnified Party's outside counsel shall have advised that such claim has a reasonable probability of success.

Trustee and Agent







 


Each Party acknowledges that the Indemnified Party is acting as trustee and agent for its remaining Indemnified Parties, on whose behalf and for whose benefit the indemnity in Section 6.1 or 6.2, as applicable, is provided and that such remaining Indemnified Parties shall have the full right and entitlement to take the benefit of and enforce such indemnity notwithstanding that they may not individually be parties to this Agreement.  Each Party agrees that the Indemnified Party may enforce the indemnity for and on behalf of such remaining Indemnified Parties and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall not in any proceeding to enforce the indemnity by or on behalf of such remaining Indemnified Parties assert any defence thereto based on the absence of authority or consideration or privity of contract and irrevocably waives the benefit of any such defence.


 



	
6.5  

	
Insurance







 



	
6.5.1  

	
JBI and any Representative who performs services under this Agreement shall maintain sufficient insurance coverage to enable it to meet its obligations created by this Agreement and by Law.  Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent this Agreement creates exposure generally covered by the following insurance policies, JBI shall maintain (and shall cause each of its agents, independent contractors and subcontractors performing any services hereunder to maintain) at its sole cost and expense at least the following insurance covering its obligations under this Agreement:







 



	
(a)  

	
Commercial General Liability Insurance, including bodily injury and property damage, in an amount not less than $3,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate;

At RockTenn’s request, JBI shall promptly provide to RockTenn certificates from its insurers indicating the amount of insurance coverage, nature of such coverage and expiration of each applicable policy.


 


The insurance policies described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) above shall afford RockTenn with primary coverage, irrespective of any other coverage available to or maintained by RockTenn or JBI, and JBI’s self-insured retention shall not exceed U.S. $100,000 for which JBI hereby expressly assumes responsibility. The insurance companies providing the foregoing coverage shall have a Best rating of “A” or better.  JBI shall be responsible for maintaining insurance covering its personal property used by it in its performance of this Agreement and shall be solely responsible for damage to or loss of same from any cause. JBI hereby waives, and shall cause its insurers to waive, all rights of subrogation against RockTenn.

BEFORE JBI BEGINS WORK UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, A COPY OF THE ENDORSEMENT TO JBI’S INSURANCE POLICY AND TWO CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING THAT THE AFORESAID INSURANCE COVERAGES ARE, IN FACT, IN PLACE, AND THAT SAID COVERAGE IS PRIMARY NOTWITHSTANDING THE EXISTENCE, AMOUNT OR AVAILABILITY OF OTHER COVERAGE, SHALL BE DEPOSITED WITH ROCKTENN MARKED FOR THE ATTENTION OF: PURCHASING AGENT, COMPANY, AT THE ADDRESS SHOWN ABOVE.  Such certificates of insurance shall require at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to RockTenn before cancellation, termination, non-renewal or modification.  JBI must further certify to the aforementioned Purchasing Agent that it has obtained similar Certificates of Insurance from each of its subcontractors before each such subcontractor commences any work under this Agreement.  Each subcontractor must be covered by insurance of the same character and in the same amounts as JBI unless RockTenn and JBI mutually agree that reduced coverage is adequate due to the nature of the particular subcontract work.  JBI’s failure to deliver the endorsement and/or RockTenn’s failure to demand such endorsement shall not be deemed a waiver of the requirement therefore, and JBI’s failure to maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder shall in no event relieve JBI of any liability hereunder.

RockTenn shall maintain sufficient insurance coverage to enable it to meet its obligations created by this Agreement and by Law.
