ARTICLE 12.

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

SECTION 12.1 Licensor represents and warrants that, to Licensor’s knowledge, the Licensed Software, MOD^TM 5 Systems and the Application Programs existing as of the Effective Date will not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property of any third party, and that Licensor has the right to grant the rights and/or licenses granted to Licensee in this Agreement.

SECTION 12.2 THE EXPRESSED WARRANTIES HEREIN CONTAINED ARE IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER THAT THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR MOD^TM 5 SYSTEMS WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR FACILITY STOPPAGE.

SECTION 12.3 Except as set forth in SECTION 12.1 and this SECTION 12.3, Licensee acknowledges that all warranties for Licensed Software located at the Facilities have expired; that this new Agreement does not re-start any warranty provisions; and that Licensor is no longer obligated to warrant malfunctioning equipment under this Agreement unless expressly covered by one or more other terms of the Agreement. Licensor warrants that Licensed Software and Application Programs as delivered and for a period ending [****] ([****]) months after the Effective Date will operate for the purpose of integrally generating, transmitting and managing process control at the Facilities in substantially the same manner as Licensor’s Affiliate operated the Facilities prior to or as of the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee’s adaptations, modifications and developments to the Application Programs after the Effective Date are not covered by the foregoing warranties. As Licensee’s sole remedy for any breach of these warranties, Licensor will repair, replace or provide reasonably complete and accurate instructions for Licensee to repair or replace (at Licensor’s cost) malfunctioning components of Licensed Software and Application Programs promptly on receiving notice thereof from Licensee. For the avoidance of doubt, during the term of this Agreement, Quarterly Service Charges that become due and owing under this Agreement must still be paid to Licensor regardless of any breach of these warranties, and other Service Charges that become due and owing under this Agreement for Services provided to Licensee must also be paid to Licensor solely to the extent such Services are not attributable to any breach of these warranties. Licensee shall promptly, upon discovery, notify Licensor of any alleged malfunction which may exist. Licensor’s disclaimer under SECTION 12.2 (last sentence) shall not be construed to limit Licensor’s obligations to provide instructions, adjustments, or replacement of malfunctioning components of Licensed Software as specified in this SECTION 12.3.

(e)	any Damages due to a Third-Party Claim by Licensor’s Affiliate or subcontractor asserting rights under this Agreement or any entity to which Licensor assigned, transferred,. pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered its rights to receive payments from Licensee.

SECTION 13.3 The Party or Parties making a Claim for indemnification under this Article 13 shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the Party or Parties against whom such Claims are asserted under this Article 13 shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All Claims by any Indemnified Party under this Article 13 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a)

an Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within [****] ([****]) days of such determination, stating the amount of the Damages, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.

(b)

if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Claim against it by any Person or entity other than the Parties or their Affiliates, which may give rise to Damages under this Article 13 (each, an “Indemnified Claim”), within [****] ([****]) days of the receipt of such notice (or within such shorter period as may be required to permit the Indemnifying

- 15 -

Party to respond to any such claim), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Indemnified Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Indemnified Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if (i) it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within [****] ([****]) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Indemnified Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Indemnifying Party assumes all responsibility for the Damages underlying such Indemnified Claim, without any reservations or rights or similar claims, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Indemnified Claim actively and diligently, including the posting of bonds or other security required in connection with the defense of such Indemnified Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense against an Indemnified Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to direct the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of such Indemnified Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment or unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Indemnified Claim liability or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Indemnified Claim. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this SECTION 13.3 because the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Indemnified Claim, or fails to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided for in this SECTION 13.3, the Indemnified Party may, with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) pay, compromise, settle or defend such Indemnified Claim, including settling such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or foregoing any appeal with respect thereto; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnified Claim (but the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Indemnified Claim shall nonetheless be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement) if the Indemnified Claim: (A) seeks an order, injunction, equitable relief or other relief other than money damages against any Indemnified Party that cannot reasonably be separated from any related claim for money damages, (B) seeks money damages which, together with any other Damages reasonably expected in connection therewith, are likely to

- 16 -

exceed the aggregate amount the Indemnifying Party would be responsible for under this ARTICLE 13 with respect thereto, (C) involves a Governmental Authority, or (D) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action. The Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Indemnified Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any Indemnified Claim for which it obtains a full release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such Indemnified Claim or to which settlement the Indemnified Party consents in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

SECTION 13.4 Limitations on Liability.

(a)

Except for Claims arising out of or relating to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Licensor or the willful refusal to provide Services pending a dispute, the total aggregate liability of Licensor for breach of this Agreement shall be limited to the Service Charges actually paid to Licensor during the [****] ([****]) months preceding the last act or omission giving rise to such Claim. If such act or omission occurs during the first [****] ([****]) months of the Agreement, such limit shall be equal to an amount calculated by extrapolating from the Service Charges paid from the Effective Date up to the last act or omission to generate the equivalent of [****] ([****]) months of Service Charges; for example, if the last act or omission arises at the end of month [****] ([****]), then the Service Charges paid to Licensor during the initial [****] ([****]) month period will be [****] to reach the liability limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate liability of Licensor for its indemnity obligations under SECTION 13.2 shall not be limited by this provision.

(b)

Except for Claims arising out of or relating to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Licensee or Licensee’s obligation to pay undisputed amounts under this Agreement, the total aggregate liability of Licensee for breach of this Agreement shall be limited to the Service Charges actually paid to Licensor during the [****] ([****]) months preceding the last act or omission giving rise to such Claim. If such act or omission occurs during the first [****] ([****]) months of the Agreement, such limit shall equal an amount calculated by extrapolating from the Service Charges paid from the Effective Date up to the last act or omission to generate the equivalent of [****] ([****]) months of Service Charges; for example, if the last act or omission arises at the end of month [****] ([****]), then the Service Charges paid to Licensor during the initial [****] ([****]) month period will be [****] to reach the liability limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate liability of Licensee for its indemnity obligations under SECTION 13.1 shall not be limited by this provision.

(c)	Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Damages for which it seeks recourse hereunder, provided, that no Indemnified Party or their respective Affiliates shall be required to make any claim against its own insurance for any Damages

- 17 -

for which they are entitled to indemnification, provided, further, that the failure of such Party to successfully mitigate such Damages shall not affect such Party’s right to seek recourse with respect to such Damages so long as such Party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and the Indemnifying Party cannot show that Damages were directly the result of such failure to mitigate.

(d)

Any Damages payable under this ARTICLE 13 shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any insurance payments actually paid to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification, and if the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates receives such insurance payment after receipt of payment from the Indemnifying Party, then the amount of such insurance payment, net of reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or insurance, shall be paid to the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Damages during the taxable year of such Damages.

(e)

NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF WAGES, LOST SALES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE (OR FAILURE TO PERFORM) HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR SUCH PARTY HAD BEEN APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD THEREOF. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 13.4(e) SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY LIMIT A PARTY’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 13.1 OR SECTION 13.2, INCLUDING IF THE CLAIM UNDERLYING SUCH INDEMNITY OBLIGATION INCLUDES DAMAGES OF A TYPE OTHERWISE LIMITED BY THIS SECTION 13.4(e).

(f)

Regardless of any other rights under any other agreements or mandatory provisions of Law neither Licensor nor Licensee shall have the right to set-off the amount of any Claim it may have under this Agreement, whether contingent or otherwise, against any amount owed by such Party to the other Party, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 13.5 Neither Party shall have any remedy for Claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement other than (i) the indemnification remedies set forth in SECTION 13.1 and SECTION 13.2 and (ii) Claims for direct Damages resulting from a breach of this Agreement, subject, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii), to the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Article 13; provided, that: (y) either Party shall have the right to seek specific performance of this Agreement; and (z) a Party shall not have a Claim for direct Damages resulting from a breach of this Agreement with respect to Damages that are specifically addressed in SECTION 13.1 and SECTION 13.2.

- 18 -

SECTION 13.6 Licensor shall cause its insurers to waive their rights of subrogation against Licensee with respect to the indemnification provided by SECTION 13.2(a), SECTION 13.2(b) or SECTION 13.2(c). Likewise, Licensee shall cause its insurers to waive their rights of subrogation against Licensor with respect to the indemnification provided by SECTION 13.1(a), SECTION 13.1(b) or SECTION 13.1(c).
