To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, You shall indemnify and hold harmless, individually and collectively, Comtex, its affiliates, agents, and employees and other providers who furnish goods and services to You in connection with the System, and their officers, directors, managers, and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability, claims, losses (including loss of profits, revenue and goodwill), damages, fines, penalties, injuries to persons or property, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and dispute resolution expenses) resulting directly or indirectly from or related to: (i) the use of or reliance of any System, Software and Licenses by You or any third party acting with Your permission, knowledge, authority or direction; (ii) a breach of this Agreement or any other Agreement with Comtex, by You, or any End User; (iii) any negligent acts, omissions to act or willful misconduct by You or any third party acting with Your permission, knowledge, authority or direction; (iv) the inability to use any System, or the failure or outage of a System and/or Software or Licenses for any reason, including but not limited to those related to calling, “911” or other emergency responders; (v) the use of a System in connection with a violation of any applicable law, code, regulation, or ordinance by the Client; or (vi) the misappropriation, breach, violation, or infringement of any right, title or interest of any third party, including but not limited to, contractual rights, Intellectual Property rights, rights of privacy, and rights of publicity and personality; (vii) failure to promptly install any updates of any software or firmware or accept or use modified or replacement items provided by or on behalf of Comtex (viii) your access to or use of this web site or any web site to which this web site is or may be linked from time to time; (ix) your use of, reliance on, or publication, communication or distribution of anything on or from this Site; or (x) your violation of any law or regulation. Further, Client will indemnify and hold harmless Comtex against all damages, costs, and legal fees finally awarded against Comtex by a court of competent jurisdiction or in Arbitration in connection with such third-party claim or agreed to in a written settlement agreement approved in writing by the Client.

2. Defense and Indemnification Procedures

If Comtex becomes an Indemnified Party, Comtex will have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such third-party claim, including any related settlement negotiations. No such claim may be settled or compromised by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s express written consent (which such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless such settlement or compromise includes a full and complete release of all claims and actions against the Indemnified Party by each party bringing such third-party claim.

I. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

1. Good Faith Attempt to Settle Disputes

In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (a “Dispute”), each Party will appoint a duly authorized representative which will confer with the other Party before either Party brings legal action, to make a reasonable and good faith effort to settle or otherwise resolve such Dispute.

2. Resolution in Small Claims Court.

In the event the dispute is not resolved, and the claim falls within the dollar limit allowed by New Jersey Superior Court, Small Claims Court, along with any other jurisdictional requirements, either Party may seek to have that dispute resolved in Small Claims court in New Jersey.

3. Binding Arbitration.

If negotiations fail to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days, and small claims court is not a valid option due to the size or nature of the claim, all disputed claims must be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (available on the AAA website, www.adr.org/aaa) in effect as of the date this Agreement goes into effect. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest possible meaning under Applicable Laws. The place of arbitration will be in Bergen County New Jersey. The complaining Party shall notify the other Party in writing thereof. Within thirty (30) days of such notice, management level representatives of both Parties shall meet at an agreed location to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. Should the dispute not be resolved within thirty (30) days after such notice, the complaining Party shall seek remedies exclusively through arbitration. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen, and in no event shall it be made after one year from when the aggrieved party knew or should have known of the controversy, claim, dispute or breach. The cost of the arbitration proceeding and any proceeding in court to confirm or to vacate any arbitration award, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), shall be borne by the unsuccessful party, as determined by the arbitrators, and shall be awarded as part of the arbitrator’s award. It is specifically understood and agreed that any party may enforce any award rendered pursuant to the arbitration provisions of this Section by bringing suit in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have authority to grant injunctive or other forms of equitable relief to any party. This Section shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.

J. MISCELLANEOUS
