If any delay is caused by delay of subcontractor and is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Seller, Seller shall incur no liability for such delay unless the goods or services to be furnished by such subcontractor were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to meet the required delivery hereunder, but in no event, shall Buyer be obligated to pay or reimburse Seller for any extra costs incurred by Seller in connection with securing substitute performance. Seller shall notify Buyer forthwith upon learning of any event which may result in any delay.

Information presently in the public domain or which becomes so except as a result of the fault of Seller shall not be considered confidential.

Seller shall cause every appropriate person employed by or associated with it to enter into an agreement under which each such person shall disclose and assign to Seller or Buyer all inventions and execute all papers and do all acts deemed necessary by Seller or Buyer relative to assignment and patent protection of such inventions. Seller shall furnish Buyer with originals or duplicate originals of such agreements. All information, ideas, results and data developed by Seller as a result of developmental work contemplated by this section shall be transmitted by Seller only to and become the exclusive property of Buyer and likewise be regarded by Seller as confidential for the same period(s) and subject to the same exceptions as are provided in Section 9, hereof.

Seller warrants that it is free to enter into this Agreement and has no obligations or requirements under any other agreement contrary to any of the terms and conditions contained herein.

11. INDEMNIFICATION — Seller agrees that upon being notified promptly and given authority information and offered assistance, it shall promptly investigate and defend at its own expense all claims, suits, or proceedings in which Buyer or its subsidiaries, or its or their respective successors, assigns, distributors, dealers, customers, or users of Buyer's products, supplies or services are made defendants or claimed potential defendants for any infringements, claimed infringement, or alleged inducement of infringement, or unauthorized or unlawful use of any patent, copyright, or trademark, wherever registered or issued, or trade secret, or proprietary data, or other information resulting from the manufacture, sale, use of lease or other disposition of any product item, or any part thereof furnished pursuant to this contract. Seller further agrees to pay and discharge any and all judgments, settlements or decrees which may be rendered or awarded in any such suits or proceedings against any such defendants. Seller shall have the right, with the approval of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle any such suits or proceedings on terms and conditions of Seller's own selection, provided they are not in conflict with the terms and conditions provided herein. In the event Seller fails to promptly investigate and defend or settle as provided hereinabove, then Buyer shall, following notification to Seller, have the right from that time forward to have sole control of the defense of any said claim, suit, or proceeding and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise in which event Seller further agrees to pay as they become due all of the costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by Buyer, and/or judgments or decrees which may be entered. This indemnity does not extend to any suit or proceeding which is based upon a patent claim covering a combination in which any product, item, or part furnished under this contract is merely an element of the claim combined with other devices or elements not furnished hereunder unless Seller is a contributory infringer, and except in the event such other device or element is merely an immaterial part of the combinations, nor does this indemnity extend to any product whose infringement is a direct result of Seller being required to adhere to a specific design provided to Seller by Buyer.

12. INDEMNIFICATION — Seller, to the extent of Seller’s negligence, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer against all claims and demands for loss of life, personal injury or property damage arising out of Seller's performance hereunder, or the products provided by Seller hereunder, including claims by Seller's employees and agents for injuries occurring on Buyer's premises. Buyer shall have the right to withhold from any sums otherwise due Seller hereunder, amounts reasonably necessary to protect Buyer against loss on account of such claims or demands. Seller shall, upon request from Buyer, furnish evidence of insurance with limits as follows: worker's compensation insurance as required by law, bodily injury and property damage public liability insurance of not less than $500,000 per occurrence, including contractual liability and automobile bodily injury and property damage liability insurance of not less than $500,000 per accident.

14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS — Seller shall, in the performance of this contract, comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, guidelines, standards (including OSHA standards) and orders (collectively "lawn) now in effect. Any provision certification or agreement required to be a part of this contract by virtue of any such law, is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Seller shall prepare and execute all documents and do all things or, as the case may be, refrain from any prohibited activities in order that Buyer shall not be deemed in default of its obligations under any contract with the federal or any state or local government or any supplier thereto. Seller's obligations hereunder may include, but shall not be limited to (a) refraining from discriminating against any employee or applicant because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, handicap, veteran's status, or any other protected category, (b) establishing or maintaining affirmative action plans as required by law or by the terms of any of Buyer's or Buyer's customer's contracts with any governmental entity, (c) providing certifications of compliance with various laws, and obtaining similar certifications from its suppliers and subcontractors, (d) complying with various pollution control requirements, (e) contracting with minority business concerns, small business concerns, and firms in certain designated areas, and (f) filing various reports or providing information. This contract may, at Buyer's option, be deemed a subcontract to Buyer's federal supply schedule.

15. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS — No failure by either party to insist upon strict compliance by the other party with any of the terms of this contract shall be construed as a waiver of such party's rights to insist upon strict compliance therewith in the future.

16. DUTY DRAWBACK RIGHTS — This order includes all related customs duty and import drawback rights, if any, (including rights developed by substitution and rights which may be acquired from Seller's suppliers) which Seller can transfer to Buyer. Seller agrees to inform Buyer of the existence of any such rights and upon request to supply such documents as may be required to obtain such drawback.

17. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF BUYER — Buyer may for Buyer's convenience, terminate this contract in whole or in part at any time upon written notification to Seller. In such event, the extent of Buyer's total liability shall be as follows. If the product is services, to pay the portion of the contract price as the work completed bears to the whole, or, if the product is goods to pay the price of the existing finished goods inventory at the time of termination, but no more than required to fulfill the next delivery scheduled within the thirty (30) days immediately following the date of termination plus Seller's cost of its then existing work-in-process inventories, required to fulfill an additional thirty (30) days of deliveries; provided however, that there shall be no liability for inventories in either category which are readily usable or re-saleable. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the extent of its losses resulting from such termination, and in no event, shall the amount of Seller's recovery hereunder result in Seller realizing a profit greater than originally and reasonably anticipated by Seller.

18. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE — Buyer may also terminate this contract in whole or in part for cause which may include, but not be limited to (a) Seller's failure to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this contract, (b) Seller's failure to provide Buyer, upon request, with reasonable assurances of future performance, (c) Seller's commencement of or becoming the subject of any proceedings providing for relief of debtors, or (d) Seller's becoming insolvent or bankrupt. In any such events, Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any amount, and Seller shall be liable to Buyer for any and all damages sustained by reason of the default which gave rise to the termination. In the event of termination for the reasons herein specified or for any other reason, all right, title, and interest in and to all or any portion of materials acquired by Seller for the performance of this contract, work-in-process, or completed items specified in such notice, shall, at Buyer's option, pass immediately to Buyer upon payment of any sums due Seller hereunder, and Buyer shall have the right either to demand and receive such materials, work or items from Seller or to enter, upon 48 hours prior notice, the premises where such property may be located and take possession thereof without any liability to Seller on account of such retaking.

19. MUTUAL: WAIVE OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES — Notwithstanding any other clause in the Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other, or shall make any claim, for any incidental, indirect or consequential damages arising out of, or connected in any way to work in this Agreement. This mutual waiver includes, but is not limited to, damages related to loss of use, loss of profits, loss of income, loss of reputation, unrealized savings or diminution of property value and shall apply to any cause of action inducing, without limitation, negligence, strict liability, breach of contract, statutory and breach of warranty.
