(a) promptly notify FTR of any third-party claim, suit, or action for which it is seeking an indemnity

settlement that requires Client to admit liability or pay any sum without the prior written consent of
Client, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

15. General Provisions
o Governing Law. This Agreement and any actions related thereto will be governed by and under the
Federal laws of the United States of America, and, to the extent not superseded by such federal laws, the
state of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that require the application of a
different state. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not
apply to this Agreement.
o Export. Client agrees not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data
acquired from FTR, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or
regulations.
o Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the
other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will
be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
o Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be
deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
o Remedies. Except as provided in the sections titled Indemnification and Limited Warranty, the parties'
rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Client acknowledges that the FTR Offerings,
and Documentation contain valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of FTR, that any actual or
threatened breach of the subsections titled Restrictions, or the section titled Confidentiality or any other
breach of its obligations with respect to intellectual property rights of FTR will constitute immediate,
irreparable harm to FTR for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that
injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach.
o No Assignment. Neither party will assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or
its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, and any
attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and
void; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger,
acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other operation of law, without
any consent of the other party. The terms of this Agreement will be binding upon the parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party will not be
considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by any event beyond the control of such
party, including without limitation, issues arising from bugs or other problems in the software, firmware or
hardware of a party's suppliers, outages or issues with upstream providers or network carriers, acts of God,
fires, floods, storms, landslides, epidemics, lightning, earthquakes, drought, blight, famine, quarantine,
pandemic, epidemic, blockade, governmental acts or inaction, orders or injunctions, war, insurrection or
civil strife, sabotage, explosions, labor strikes, work stoppages, and acts of terror (a "Force Majeure EvenY'),
provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notifij the other party of the
circumstances causing the delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.

party is an agent or partner of the other. Client will not have, and will not represent to any third party that
it has, any authority to act on behalf of FTR.

be considered to have been given on the delivery date reflected by the courier or express mail service
receipt. Each party may change its address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such change to the
other party.
