Adobe shall pay any resulting damages, costs and expenses finally awarded to a third party but Adobe is not liable for such amounts, or for settlements incurred by Xxxxx without Adobe's written authorisation. If such claim, suit or proceeding has occurred or, in Adobe's opinion, is likely to occur, Adobe may, at its election and expense, either obtain for Xxxxx the right to continue manufacturing such allegedly infringing Adobe Product Packages, replace or modify the Adobe Product Packages so they are not infringing, or remove such Adobe Product Packages from this Agreement. 11.2 Limitations on Indemnity The provisions of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply with respect to any instances of infringement based upon or arising out of use of any Adobe Product Package which has been modified by Xxxxx or any third party (except to the extent such modifications are authorized and approved by Adobe).

If such events cause a failure or delay by Xxxxx, then Xxxxx will notify Adobe of the causes of such failure or delay and the period of performance will be extended by a period equal to the delay caused by such event. 17
12.2 Upon determination by Adobe that the event will impact Xxxxx print and/or production of Adobe product for a period to exceed [*], Xxxxx will immediately arrange to shift production to such other Xxxxx European or Ireland Customer Operations Centres (if assembly impacted) or to other print suppliers (if print plant impacted), to bring Adobe production back to delivery schedule level as quickly as possible, and in no case longer than [*].

Upon resolution of any such event, Xxxxx will make every effort to allocate its print and/or production capacity, without additional cost to Adobe, to meet required delivery schedules, and to restore print and/or production to the original plants. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any conflict between this Clause 12 and the BCP, the provisions of this Clause 12 shall prevail. 13. RIGHT OF AUDIT 13.1 Xxxxx shall (and shall procure that all Submanufacturers shall) permit Adobe and/or its nominated representatives to inspect Xxxxx' and/or Submanufacturer's records pertaining to the services provided in terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation to the foregoing, all financial records) and to enter any premises of Xxxxx or Submanufacturers at which the Adobe Product Packages are being manufactured and/or stored and to inspect the activities at such premises to ensure compliance by Xxxxx and/or Submanufacturers with all the terms of this Agreement including, without prejudice to the foregoing generality, the terms of Clauses 2.5, 2.6, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 of this Agreement.

Any and all rights of Adobe set out in this Clause 13 shall be without prejudice to Adobe's other rights and remedies at law and under this Agreement. 13.4 Xxxxx shall inspect all relevant records of Submanufacturers in accordance with the terms of Clause 13.1 on behalf of Adobe and at the request of Adobe to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and shall report any breaches to Adobe immediately at which point Xxxxx shall be obliged, at the request of Adobe, to cease using such Submanufacturers. 14. TERM AND TERMINATION 14.1 Unless earlier terminated as provided herein or otherwise agreed in writing, the term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue in force for the duration of the Adobe Product Release for which Xxxxx is providing services hereunder ("Term'). 14.2 Termination Without Cause Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to the other party subject always Clause 14.1 hereof and Adobe's right to terminate in accordance with Clause 6.11 hereof.
