11. Indemnification.

1. BCC Indemnification. BCC will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Client from and against any and all losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by Client resulting from any claim or action by a third party (other than an affiliate of Client) alleging that Client’s or an Authorized User’s use of the Services (excluding Client Materials and Third‐Party Services) in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s patents, copyrights, or trade secrets. The foregoing obligation does not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (i) Third‐Party Services or Client Materials; (ii) access to or use of the Services in combination with any hardware, system, software, network, or other materials or service not provided by or on behalf of BCC or specified for Client’s use in the Services documentation; (iii) modification of the Services other than by or on behalf of BCC or with BCC’s written approval in accordance with BCC’s written specifications; (iv) failure to make any Accommodations, or to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements, or enhancements made available to Client by or on behalf of BCC; or (v) act, omission, or other matter described in Section 11(b)(i), Section 11(b)(ii), Section 11(b)(iii), or Section 11(b)(iv), whether or not the same results in any action or claim against or Losses by any BCC Indemnitee.

2. Client Indemnification. Client will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BCC and its licensors (including Qwark), subcontractors and affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “BCC Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such BCC Indemnitee arising out of, relating to or resulting from: (i) Client Materials or any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Client or any Representative, including any use, disclosure or storage of the same by or on behalf of BCC in accordance with this Agreement, and BCC’s or its licensors’ compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Client or any Representative to the extent prepared without any contribution by BCC; (ii) any transactions or activities conducted by Client on, through or as a result of the Services, including the Client Site; (iii) Client’s breach (or alleged breach) of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) by Client, any Representative, or any third party on behalf of Client or any Representative, in connection with this Agreement.

3. Indemnification Procedure. Each party will promptly notify the other party in writing of any action or claim for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 11(a) or Section 11(b), as the case may be. The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) will cooperate with the other party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor will promptly assume control of the defense and will employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnitor will not settle any action or claim without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such action or claim, then the Indemnitee will have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such action or claim, including settling such action or claim after giving notice to the Indemnitor, in each case, in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 11(c) will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 11, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been prejudiced as a result of such failure.

4. Mitigation. If all or any portion of the Services or its underlying technology is, or in BCC’s opinion is likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third‐party intellectual property right, or if Client’s or any Representative’s use of the Services is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, BCC may, at its option and sole cost and expense: (i)obtain the right for Client to continue to use the Services, materially as contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) modify or replace the Services, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Services (as so modified or replaced) non‐infringing, while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute a part of the Services, as applicable, under this Agreement; or (iii) by written notice to Client, terminate this Agreement with respect to all or part of the Services, and require Client to immediately cease any use of the Services or any specified part or feature thereof.

5. THIS SECTION 11 SETS FORTH CLIENT’S SOLE REMEDIES AND BCC’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER MATEIALS PROVIDED BY OR MADE AVAILABLE BY BCC UNDER THIS AGREEMENT INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION APPLIES NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

3. Waiver of Class Action Participation. Neither Client nor BCC may be a representative of other potential claimants or a class of potential claimants in any dispute concerning or relating to this Agreement, nor may two or more individuals’ disputes be consolidated or otherwise determined in one proceeding. CLIENT AND BCC ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS SECTION WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATION AS A PLAINTIFF OR AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION.
