Mechanics of Indemnification. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other pursuant to this Section 11(A) is predicated upon the indemnified party’s (a) giving the indemnifying party written

claim, and (c) fully cooperating, at the indemnifying party’s expense, in any defense or settlement of such claim. The indemnified party may participate in the defense and settlement of any indemnifiable claim with the counsel of its
choice at its expense; and (B) shall be limited to any directly resulting damages, costs and expenses finally awarded by a definitive settlement agreed in writing thereby or by a definitive non-appealable judgment to a third party, it being

manufacturing malfunction, or as otherwise set forth in Sections 11, 12 and 16 to this Agreement, including the Exhibits, in which case the following limitations in subsection (ii) below shall not apply, (i) each party will not be
liable to the other party or any other person or entity for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise, even if such party should have known of the
possibility of such damages, and notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any remedy, except to the extent that such limitation of liability is not permissible under applicable mandatory law, and (ii) each party’s aggregate
liability hereunder will not exceed the amounts paid by YEC to ARGO under this Agreement within the 6 month period preceding the incident giving rise to such liability. |
12. |
Intellectual Property. ARGO represents and warrants that it owns and retains title, ownership and all rights and interests,
|

including but not limited to all intellectual property rights in or to the Products and product names, logos, marks and other materials that ARGO makes available to YEC under or related to this
Agreement, except as expressly specified otherwise herein. ARGO also represents and warrants that ARGO has been and will be conducting, from time to time, searches of any and all third-party’s intellectual property rights relevant to the
Products, product names, logos, marks and other materials of ARGO. YEC will cooperate with ARGO, at ARGO’s sole expense, to the extent YEC deemed necessary to protect and maintain ARGO’s intellectual property rights related to the
Products, including rights to the ARGO Marks and the ARGO name in the Territory, and will assist, at YEC’s sole opinion and at ARGO’s sole expense, in the enforcement of or defense of such ARGO rights. During the Term, each party will
promptly notify the other party of any copying or counterfeiting of the Products in the Territory or any infringement of ARGO’s intellectual property rights in or to the Products in the Territory, to the extent such party becomes aware thereof.
ARGO will have the exclusive right, at its discretion, to commence and prosecute at its own expense a lawsuit or to take such other action against such copying, counterfeiting or any other infringement of ARGO’s intellectual property rights as
will be deemed appropriate by ARGO. YEC will have no right from taking any actions against such copying, counterfeiting or infringement, unless ARGO decides not to take action within thirty (30) days from the discovery of such copying,
counterfeiting or any other infringement. YEC agrees to cooperate fully with ARGO in any such action taken by ARGO against such parties. All expenses of such action and of such cooperation by YEC will be borne by ARGO, be reimbursed to YEC by ARGO
in timely manner, and all damages that may be awarded or agreed upon in settlement of such action will accrue to ARGO. If ARGO or YEC receives a claim that use by YEC of the ARGO Marks or the ARGO name infringes or violates the trademark or other
proprietary rights of such claimant, each party will promptly notify the other party, and YEC and ARGO agree to cooperate with each other, at ARGO’s sole expense, on actions to be taken with respect to such claims, including, modifying the ARGO
Marks or cease selling or withdrawing or recalling the Products on which the ARGO Marks appears or ceasing to use the ARGO Marks or the ARGO name; provided that ARGO will have the exclusive right to make the final decision with regard to any actions
to be taken with respect to such claims. |
13. |
No Questionable Payments. YEC acknowledges that ARGO is subject to the United States’ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and may be subject to other applicable business integrity or
anti-corruption laws. YEC acknowledges that, under the FCPA, it is unlawful for YEC, its employees and any other of YEC’s agents to, in connection with the business activity of ARGO or its subsidiaries, offer, pay or otherwise promise, directly
or indirectly, any money, gift or anything of value to (1) any employee or officer of a government of a country (or any agency or enterprise owned or controlled by a country), (2) any official of a political party or a candidate for
political office, and (3) any official or employee of a public international organization or any person acting or behalf of such entities. YEC agrees to refrain from making or causing any of the actions described in the foregoing sentence and
further agrees to advise the ARGO in writing of any knowledge or suspicion of any such actions and the basis therefor. Any breach of the provisions of this section will entitle ARGO to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice to
YEC. |

training by Argo or authorized representative whereof, without unapproved modifications, following all Argo’s instructions and requirements and when fitted by or under the direct supervision of a certified/licensed practitioner who meets all
Argo’s product-specific training requirements for the Product, the Product shall be free of defects in material or workmanship.
2. The
“Warranty Period” as used herein (and except for the battery, as set forth in Section 7.1 below) shall mean the period commencing on the date of delivery of the Product to the Customer and terminating 24 (twenty four) months
thereafter (the “Initial Period”); provided however that the Warranty Period shall promptly terminate if the Customer shall not have the Product sent to Argo’s local dealer (the “Dealer”),
the details of which are indicated on the back of this page, for a free service check at 12 months from the date of purchase, or at any other time instructed by Argo. The Warranty Period may be extended for fee beyond the Initial Period for up
to 5 years (i.e.: by additional three years or less). The Customer is encouraged to contact the Dealer and receive a quote for such extended period.

notice from the Customer and subject to the Customer’s full performance of its obligations hereunder–Argo shall repair or replace the Product, or parts thereof, or refund part or all of the original purchase price thereof. The option to
repair, replace or pay a refund shall be at Argo’s sole discretion.
4. For goods or essential components manufactured by a third party and supplied
by Argo in connection with the Product (if any), Argo’s warranty is limited to the warranty provided by said third party.

provided shall be the exclusive and sole remedies of the Customer.
