Standard of Care; Uncontrollable Events; Limitation of Liability SMC shall use reasonable professional diligence to ensure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement, but shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken or omitted by SMC in the absence of bad faith, willful misfeasance, negligence or reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties. The duties of SMC shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein, and no implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against SMC hereunder. SMC shall maintain adequate and reliable computer and other equipment necessary or appropriate to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the Company's reasonable request, SMC shall provide supplemental information concerning the aspects of its disaster recovery and business continuity plan that are relevant to the services provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, SMC assumes no responsibility hereunder, and shall not be liable for, any damage, loss of data, delay or any other loss whatsoever caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Events beyond SMC's reasonable control include, without limitation, force majeure events. Force majeure events include natural disasters, actions or decrees of governmental bodies, and communication lines failures that are not the fault of either party.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall SMC, its affiliates or any of its or their directors, officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be liable for exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether either party or any entity has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Effect of Force Majeure Event If either party to this contract cannot meet an obligation under this contract because of an event outside the control of that party (‘a force majeure event’):
(a) the obligation, other than an obligation to pay money, is suspended to the extent it is affected by the force majeure event for as long as the force majeure event continues; and
(b) the affected party must use its best endeavours to give the other party prompt notice of that fact including full particulars of the event, an estimate of its likely duration, the extent to which the affected party’s obligations are affected and the steps being taken to remove, overcome or minimise those effects.
Effect of Event of Default If any Event of Default described in Section 13.1.4 shall occur in respect of the Company, the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall become immediately obligated to Cash Collateralize all Letters of Credit, all without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind; and, if any other Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and, upon the written request of the Required Lenders shall) declare the Commitments to be terminated in whole or in part and/or declare all or any part of the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder to be due and payable and/or demand that the Company immediately Cash Collateralize all or any Letters of Credit, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate (or be reduced, as applicable) and/or the Loans and other Obligations hereunder shall become immediately due and payable (in whole or in part, as applicable) and/or the Company shall immediately become obligated to Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit (all or any, as applicable), all without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Company of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration. Any cash collateral delivered hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent (without liability for interest thereon) and applied to the Obligations arising in connection with any drawing under a Letter of Credit. After the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, such cash collateral shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to any remaining Obligations hereunder and any excess shall be delivered to the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may elect.

Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims (a) In the event that any party (the “Indemnified Person”) desires to make a claim against any other party (the “Indemnifying Person”) in connection with any Losses for which the Indemnified Person may seek indemnification hereunder in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing, of the Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”) as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt, by such Indemnified Person of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give a Third-Party Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Person’s election, to assume or participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the cost of Indemnifying Person. In any case in which the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall give the Indemnified Person ten (10) calendar days’ notice prior to executing any settlement agreement and the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve or reject the settlement and related expenses; provided, however, that upon rejection of any settlement and related expenses, the Indemnified Person shall assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the liability of the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall be limited to the amount or the monetary equivalent of the rejected settlement and related expenses.
(b) The Indemnified Person shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and to discuss matters with the Indemnifying Person related to the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 10.3(a) of this Agreement, but the Indemnified Person shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such participation; provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.3(a) above, all decisions of the Indemnifying Person shall be final and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Person in all respects in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, including refraining from taking any position adverse to the Indemnifying Person.
(c) If the Indemnifying Person fails to give notice of the assumption of the defense of any Third-Party Claim within a reasonable time period not to exceed forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall no longer be entitled to assume (but shall continue to be entitled to participate in) such defense. The Indemnified Person may, at its option, continue to defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Person shall indemnify the Indemnified Person for all reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith (provided it is a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Person is otherwise obligated to provide indemnification hereunder). The Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in the defense of any Third-Party Claim the defense of which it does not assume. Prior to effectuating any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall furnish the Indemnifying Person with written notice of any proposed settlement in sufficient time to allow the Indemnifying Person to act thereon. Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, the Indemnified Person shall be permitted to effect such settlement unless the Indemnifying Person (a) reimburses the Indemnified Person in accordance with the terms of this Article 10 for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such Claim; (b) assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim; and (c) takes such other actions as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request as assurance of the Indemnifying Person’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Article 10 in connection with such Third-Party Claim.
Reportable Events Involving the Xxxxx Law Notwithstanding the reporting requirements outlined above, any Reportable Event that involves solely a probable violation of section 1877 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §1395nn (the Xxxxx Law) should be submitted by Practitioner to CMS through the self-referral disclosure protocol (SRDP), with a copy to the OIG. If Practitioner identifies a probable violation of the Xxxxx Law and repays the applicable Overpayment directly to the CMS contractor, then Practitioner is not required by this Section III.G to submit the Reportable Event to CMS through the SRDP.
Effect of Force Majeure If either Party is rendered wholly or partially unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement because of a Force Majeure Act, that Party shall be excused from whatever performance is affected by the Force Majeure Act to the extent so affected, provided that:
a) Within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of the inability to perform due to a Force Majeure Act, the Affected Party provides a written notice to the other Party of the particulars of the occurrence, including an estimation of its expected duration and probable impact on the performance of its obligations hereunder, and continues to furnish periodic reports with respect thereto, every seven (7) days, during the period of Force Majeure,
b) The Affected Party shall use all reasonable efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder and to correct or cure as soon as possible the Force Majeure Act,
c) The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is reasonably necessitated by the Force Majeure Act,
d) The Affected Party shall provide the other Party with prompt notice of the cessation of the Force Majeure Act giving rise to the excuse from performance and shall thereupon resume normal performance of obligations under this Agreement with utmost promptitude,
e) The non-performance of any obligation of either Party that was required to be performed prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Act shall not be excused as a result of such subsequent Force Majeure Act,
f) The occurrence of a Force Majeure Act shall not relieve either Party from its obligations to make any payment hereunder for performance rendered prior to the occurrence of Force Majeure Act or for partial performance hereunder during period of subsistence Force Majeure Act; and
g) The Force Majeure Act, shall not relieve either Party from its obligation to comply with Applicable Laws. The Affected Party shall exercise all reasonable efforts to mitigate or limit damages to the other Party.
Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims If a claim by a third party (including claims for breaches of fiduciary duties) is made against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto from the Company (in the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Party seeking such indemnity) or the Purchaser (in the case of a Company Indemnified Party seeking indemnity) (each of the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, in such capacity, an “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give notice in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable to such Indemnifying Party of any Proceeding commenced against or by it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have on account of this Article VI, so long as such failure shall not have materially prejudiced the position of such Indemnifying Party. Upon such notification, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding brought by a third party, and, after such assumption, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses thereafter incurred by it in connection with such Proceeding, except as described below. In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel (including local counsel), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to promptly assume and thereafter conduct such defense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (iii) in the reasonable determination of counsel for the Indemnified Party, representation of such Indemnified Party by counsel obtained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of a third-party claim, shall, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by such Indemnifying Party), but if settled with such consent or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party will advance expenses to an Indemnified Party as reasonably incurred so long as such indemnified party shall have provided the indemnifying party with a written undertaking to reimburse the indemnifying party for all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder (which shall include breaches of fiduciary duty if permitted above).
Effect of Breach In the event that Executive breaches any provision of this Agreement, Executive agrees that the Company may suspend all payments to Executive under this Agreement (including any Severance Payment), recover from Executive any damages suffered as a result of such breach and recover from Executive any reasonable attorneys’ fees or costs it incurs as a result of such breach. In addition, Executive agrees that the Company may seek injunctive or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting bond, as a result of a breach by Executive of any provision of this Agreement.
