Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The parties will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision which is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable provision which it replaces.

The Sponsorship Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter therein. There are no warranties, conditions, or representations (including any that may be implied by statute) and there are no agreements in connection with such subject matter except as specifically set forth or referred to in this Agreement or the Other Sponsorship Agreements. No reliance is placed on any warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact made either prior to, contemporaneous with, or after entering into this Agreement by any party to this Agreement or its respective directors, officers, employees or agents, to any other party to this Agreement or its respective directors, officers, employees or agents, except to the extent that the same has been reduced to writing and included as a term of the Sponsorship Agreements, and none of the parties to this Agreement has been induced to enter into this Agreement by reason of any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact.

1.8 Waiver, Amendment
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision nor will any waiver of any provision of this Agreement constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Indemnity
10.1.1 The Service Recipients party hereto hereby jointly and severally agree, and agree to cause any other Service Recipients, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Service Provider Group, any of its Affiliates (other than any member of the TERP Group) and any directors, officers, agents, subcontractors, delegatees, members, partners, shareholders, employees and other representatives of each of the foregoing (each, a “Service Provider Indemnified Party”) from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including legal fees) (“Liabilities”) incurred by them or threatened in connection with any and all actions, suits, investigations, proceedings or claims of any kind whatsoever, whether arising under statute or action of a Governmental Authority, in each case, to the extent in connection with the business, investments and activities of the Service Recipients in respect of or arising from this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder (“Claims”), including any Claims arising on account of the Governmental Charges contemplated by Section 7.5; provided that no Service Provider Indemnified Party shall be so indemnified with respect to any Claim to the extent that such Claim is finally determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or pursuant to a settlement agreement agreed to by such Service Provider Indemnified Party, to have resulted from such Service Provider Indemnified Party’s bad faith, fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence or, in the case of a criminal matter, conduct undertaken with knowledge that the conduct was unlawful.
10.1.2 The Service Providers hereby jointly and severally agree, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Service Recipients, any of its Affiliates (other than any member of the Service Provider Group), and any directors, officers, agents, delegatees, members, partners, shareholders, employees and other representatives of each of the foregoing (each, a “TERP Indemnified Party”) from and against any Liabilities incurred by them or threatened in connection with any Claims resulting from any member of the Service Provider Group’s bad faith, fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence and, in the case of a criminal matter, conduct undertaken with the knowledge that the conduct was unlawful.
10.1.3 If any action, suit, investigation, proceeding or claim is made or brought by any Third Party with respect to which an Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, as well as the reasonable costs (excluding an amount reimbursed to such Indemnified Party for the time spent in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith will be paid by the Indemnifying Party in such case, as incurred but subject to recoupment by the Indemnifying Party if ultimately it is not liable to pay indemnification hereunder.
10.1.4 The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree that, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party in such case will notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement of such Third Party Claim (provided that any accidental failure to provide any such notice will not prejudice the right of any such Indemnified Party hereunder) and, throughout the course of such Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party will use its best efforts to provide copies of all relevant documentation to such Indemnifying Party and will keep the Indemnifying Party apprised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnifying Party all significant actions proposed.
10.1.5 The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that the right to indemnity provided in this Section 10.1 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other liability which the Indemnifying Party in any particular case may have or of any other right to indemnity or contribution which any Indemnified Party may have by statute or otherwise at law.
10.1.6 The indemnity provided in this Section 10.1 shall survive the completion of Services rendered under, or any termination or purported termination of, this Agreement.
17
10.2 Limitation of Liability
10.2.1 The Service Providers assume no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the Services pursuant to this Agreement in good faith and will not be responsible for any action of a Service Recipient’s Governing Body in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the relevant member of the Service Provider Group, including as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof.
10.2.2 The Service Recipients hereby agree that no Service Provider Indemnified Party will be liable to a Service Recipient, a Service Recipient’s Governing Body (including, for greater certainty, a director or officer of a Service Recipient or another individual with similar function or capacity) or any security holder or partner of a Service Recipient for any Liabilities that may occur as a result of any acts or omissions by the Service Provider Indemnified Party pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement, except to the extent that such Liabilities are finally determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Service Provider Indemnified Party’s bad faith, fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or in the case of a criminal matter, conduct undertaken with knowledge that the conduct was unlawful.
10.2.3 The maximum amount of the aggregate liability of the Service Provider Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement will be equal to the aggregate of all amounts paid to any Service Provider in respect of Services pursuant to this Agreement or any agreement or arrangement contemplated by this Agreement in the two most recent calendar years by the Service Recipients pursuant to Article 7.
10.2.4 For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the completion of the Services rendered under, or any termination or purported termination of, this Agreement.
10.3 Benefit to all Indemnified Parties

10.4 No Waiver
