ARTICLE 7– INDEMNIFICATION


 


7.1       Indemnification by IET.  IET shall be liable to and shall indemnify, defend and hold TrueLogix and its affiliates and their respective owners, officers (which shall include directors and managers, as relevant), employees and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified TrueLogix Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified TrueLogix Party relating to or based upon: (a) any breach by IET of any of its obligations under this Agreement; (b) any action taken by IET in connection with the operation of its business, including, without limitation, the sale of any product or service by IET or the breach of any representation or warranty extended by IET to the purchaser of any product or service sold or provided by IET; or (c) any unlawful or wrongful act, omission or negligence by IET.


 


7.2       Indemnification by TrueLogix.  Subject to the limitations set forth below, TrueLogix shall be liable to and shall indemnify, defend and hold IET and its Affiliates and their respective owners, officers (which shall include directors and managers, as relevant), employees and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified IET Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified IET Party relating to or based upon: (a) any breach by TrueLogix of any of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent such breach arises out of or is caused by any breach by IET of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or is the result of TrueLogix following any instruction or request it receives from IET; or (b) any unlawful or wrongful act, omission or negligence by TrueLogix.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall TrueLogix’s aggregate liability to IET under this Section 7.2 exceed the total amount paid by IET to TrueLogix pursuant to the terms of this Agreement through the date on which IET demands indemnification from TrueLogix pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.2, except for Losses suffered or incurred by IET that arise out of any criminal or intentionally wrongful act taken by TrueLogix (as to which there shall be no limit).


 


7.3       Limitation of Liability.  IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES OR LOSS OF GOODWILL) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT EITHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE.  THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT THESE LIMITATIONS WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES.

7.4       Indemnification Procedures.


 


a. If any event (an “Indemnification Event”) occurs in connection with which an entity (the “Indemnitee”) may seek indemnification from a Party obligated to provide indemnity pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 (the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing.  The failure of any Indemnitee to give prompt notice to an Indemnifying Party as required herein shall not affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification hereunder, except that the monetary obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall be reduced by any damages suffered by it by reason of such non-timely notification.


 


b.   If any Indemnification Event involves the commencement of any third party action, suit or other proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, retaining counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee and paying all expenses thereof.  The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitee unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed specifically to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding include both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnitee shall have been advised by reputable counsel that representation of the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct because there may be one or more defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if the Indemnitee notifies the Indemnifying Party, in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such proceeding on behalf of the Indemnitee; it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding, or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel at any time for the Indemnitee, which counsel shall be designated in writing by the Indemnitee).  No settlement shall be made by an Indemnitee or an Indemnifying Party of a claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder without the prior written approval of the other, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld.

Except as otherwise provided herein (including the exceptions in the preceding sentence), a Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), assign this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder under any circumstance, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise.

8.3       Waiver.  Neither Party hereto shall be deemed to have waived any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is made in writing and signed by such Party.  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right relating thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, whether or not similar, and no waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver.  No course of dealing between the Parties, and no delay or forbearance in exercising any right hereunder, shall imply or otherwise operate as a waiver of any right of a Party.


 


8.4       Independent Contractor.   The Parties agree that TrueLogix is an independent contractor and not an agent or partner of IET.  Nothing in this Agreement shall create a partnership or joint venture between the Parties and neither Party shall enter into or have authority to enter into any agreement or make any representation or warranty on behalf of or otherwise bind or obligate the other.


 


8.5       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.  This Agreement shall become effective as of the date specified in the opening paragraph, upon the execution by each of the Parties of at least one counterpart hereof, and it shall not be necessary that any single counterpart bear the signatures of all Parties.  Execution and delivery of this Agreement by exchange of facsimile or electronic copies bearing the facsimile or electronic signature of a Party shall constitute a valid and binding execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party.  Such facsimile or electronic copies shall constitute enforceable original documents.


 


8.6       Further Assurances.  The Parties agree that, upon request, they each shall do such further acts and deeds, and shall provide, execute, acknowledge, deliver and/or record such books and records and such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by the other Party or necessary or appropriate from time to time to evidence, confirm or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement or to confirm compliance by a Party to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.


 


8.7       Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any jurisdiction be held or determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed modified so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law consistent with the intent of the Parties as herein expressed, and such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.


 


8.8       Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, EXCLUSIVE OF ITS RULES REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS.


 


8.9       No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the Parties, the Indemnified TrueLogix Parties and the Indemnified IET Parties, and no other person or entity shall have any right or claim against either Party by reason of this Agreement or shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement against either Party.

8.10 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersede all prior oral and written negotiations between the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no amendment, alteration, change or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written document signed by the Parties.


 


8.11 Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be liable for failing to perform, or for any delay in performing, its obligations under this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, provided the Party claiming the existence of force majeure gives notice to the other Party within fourteen (14) days of the commencement or continuance of the circumstances that constitute such force majeure. The term “force majeure” shall include any cause or contingency beyond the control of the Party concerned.  Neither Party shall be relieved from performing any pending obligations under this Agreement when the existence of force majeure has been eliminated or terminated.


 


8.12 Arbitration.  The Parties agree that, in the event of a dispute between them arising out of, concerning or in any way relating to, this Agreement, including its interpretation, that cannot be settled by a good faith effort by the Parties to resolve such issue, such dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act as amended and in accordance with the then-prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  The arbitration will be held in Clark County, Nevada by a panel of three (3) arbitrators appointed pursuant to the AAA rules, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof.
