In addition, the Receiving Party may comply with an order or request from a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in compliance with that order only if the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice regarding such disclosure if permitted by the Governmental Authority and reasonably cooperates with the Disclosing Party, if possible, in seeking a protective order, confidential treatment, or such other measures reasonably applicable to oppose or limit such disclosure. The Receiving Party shall not release any more of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information than is necessary to comply with that order.

3. Indemnification Procedures. 

1. Right to Defend. If any Claim is commenced or asserted against a Party that gives rise, or any knowledge is received of a state of facts which, if not corrected, may give rise, to a right of indemnification under the provisions of subsections (a) or (b) above of the Party (the “Indemnified Party”), written notice of such Claim or facts shall promptly be given by the Indemnified Party to the Party from whom indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”). The failure to give such notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend any such Claim in its name and at its expense, shall select the counsel for the defense of such Claim as approved by the Indemnified Party, and shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense against such Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend any such Claim if (i) it refuses to acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnified Party; (ii) it contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations; (iii) it fails to employ appropriate counsel approved by Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such Claim or refuses to replace such counsel upon the Indemnified Party’s reasonable request; (iv) the Indemnified Party advises the Indemnifying Party that there are issues which could raise possible conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or that the Indemnified Party has claims or defenses that are separate from or in addition to the claims or defenses of the Indemnifying Party; or (v) such Claim seeks an injunction or cease and desist order; provided, further, that no Party may, as an Indemnifying Party or otherwise, defend against a Claim against another Party or select the counsel for the defense of such Claim if such Claim was brought by a Governmental Authority. In each such case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to direct the defense of the Claim and retain its own counsel, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the cost of such defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

2. Alternative Dispute Resolution.

1. Informal Resolution.  In the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that they will attempt to privately resolve said dispute or controversy among themselves for a period of thirty (30) days after said dispute of controversy arises (the “Resolution Period”).  During the Resolution Period, the Parties acknowledge and agree that they shall not communicate or discuss the dispute or controversy with any outside or unrelated parties other than their respective legal counsel.  In the event that a dispute or controversy cannot be resolved within the Resolution Period, then the dispute or controversy may be addressed and resolved in a binding arbitration proceeding, as described below.

The place of arbitration shall be New York City, New York for claims initiated by FI and shall be the local county and state of the FI’s legal address for claims initiated by Quilo, unless the Parties shall have agreed to another location within fifteen (15) days from the first referral of the dispute to the American Arbitration Association.

Each Party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) for Provisional Relief, and (iii) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. The Parties understand that arbitration fees shall be split equally between claimant(s), on the one hand, and the respondent(s), on the other, however, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to order that the prevailing Party be reimbursed for the attorney’s fees, arbitration fees, and costs incurred.

3. Provisional Relief.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that either Party, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may possess, shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or remedy a breach of this Agreement which may be requested from a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction if so required to prevent further or irreparable damage or injury (“Provisional Relief”).  However, this narrow exception to the Parties’ agreement to arbitrate shall in no way operate to invalidate or otherwise circumvent the agreement to arbitrate the Parties’ claims as set forth in this Agreement, nor shall a Party’s attempt to seek such relief be regarded a breach of this Agreement.

4. Confidentiality of Proceedings. The arbitration proceedings contemplated by this Section shall be as confidential and private as permitted by Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Parties are permitted to disclose the proceedings to accountants, legal counsel, professional advisors and Governmental Advisors. To that end, the Parties shall not disclose the existence, content or results of any proceedings conducted in accordance with this Section, and materials submitted in connection with such proceedings shall not be admissible in any other proceeding; provided, however, that this confidentiality provision shall not prevent a petition to vacate or enforce an arbitral award, and shall not bar disclosures required by any Applicable L

2. is a necessary participant in any judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceedings to resolve a Dispute and cannot be joined by either or both of the parties in a resolution of such Dispute pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 16 and as such the procedure set forth in this Section 16 is or will be ineffective as to such Dispute;

3. provided, however, that the procedure set forth in this Section 16 shall apply in the event a Dispute in connection with the foregoing events set forth in this Section 16(c)(ii) relates to whether any Claims in connection with such third-party claim is indemnifiable by either Party.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law under which this Agreement is to be construed or is held invalid by a court with jurisdiction over the Parties, (i) such provision will be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in accordance with Applicable Law; and (ii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

8. Force Majeure. If any Party is unable to carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event, then the performance of the obligations under this Agreement of such Party as they are affected by such cause shall be excused during the continuance of the inability so caused, except that should such inability not be remedied within thirty (30) days after the date of such cause, any Party not so affected may at any time after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, during the continuance of such inability, terminate this Agreement on giving written notice to such Party and without payment of a termination fee or other penalty.   To the extent that any Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event is unable to carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement because a prerequisite obligation of the Party so affected has not been performed, the Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event also is excused from such performance during such period.  A “Force Majeure Event” as used in this Agreement shall mean an unanticipated event that is not reasonably within the control of the affected Party or its subcontractors (including, but not limited to, acts of God, pandemic (excluding the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of governmental authorities, strikes, war, riot and any other causes of such nature), and which by exercise of reasonable due diligence, such affected Party or its subcontractors could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, overcome or obtain, or cause to be obtained, a commercially reasonable substitute therefor.  No Party shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder if its failure of performance is due to removable or remediable causes which such Party fails to remove or remedy using commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time period.   Each Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event shall give prompt notice of such fact to the other Parties, followed by written confirmation of notice, and shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all reasonable dispatch.

If FI does not want to accept such updated, amended, restated or supplemented Agreement terms, it must not use the Program or any of the Quilo Services subsequent to such effective date, provided that any existing Products (if any) will continue to be governed by the Agreement terms existing prior to said update, amendment, restatement or supplement.
