1.1.1 Notwithstanding any other actual or apparently conflicting
language in this Contract
a. Printer agrees to produce high quality, commercially
acceptable Magazines in line with the standard of quality
hereinafter defined, unless defective original materials are
furnished or a violation of process limitations is involved.
Without limitation of the obligation of the Printer to take

such defect, Printer shall use its best efforts to inform
Customer of such defects in time for correction and consult

3.11.1 Upon written notice, if Printer consistently falls below the
standard of quality required by paragraph 1.1 above as provided in
paragraph 1.4 above; and subsequent to 1.1.1B.
3.11.2 Upon the happening of an event of force majeure which prevents or
substantially hinders Printer's full performance hereunder (force
majeure being defined as an event the non-occurrence of which is
relied upon by both parties for the performance of the contract
and includes but is not limited to: strikes, war, fire, flood,
Acts of God and any other unforeseen events of the same or a
different nature not necessarily within the control of either
party), Printer shall have the right to remove the work (as to any

provided that within three business days of the occurrence of the
event of force majeure Printer provides assurances satisfactory to
Customer that the work can be performed at Printer's Facility to
the same quality standards and upon the same price terms as
herein; failing which, Customer shall have the right to remove the
work to another printer of its own choosing for the duration of
the event of force majeure. If the event of force majeure
continues more than forty-five (45) days, and (i) Printer has
removed the work to Printer's Facility as provided above, then if
Customer is satisfied with the work of Printer's Facility, Printer
has the option of continuing this Agreement in full force and
effect and upon all terms and conditions hereof, as to all
Magazines so removed, except that the work be performed at
Printer's Facility; (ii) Customer has removed the work to a
printer of its own choice as provided above, then Customer may
cancel this Agreement as to any or all Magazines so removed.
3.11.3 As specified in paragraph 5.2 below.
3.12 Either party shall have the right to terminate this agreement for a
material breach which remains uncured more than thirty (30) days after
written notice and demand to cure is received specifying the breach; such
termination shall be by written notice effective thirty (30) days after
receipt; provided always that if in Customer's reasonable business
judgement Printer's breach substantially impairs Customer's ability to
distribute its Magazines on time Customer shall have the right immediately
to move the work elsewhere as to any or all Magazines. In any event,
upon termination for any cause whatsoever Printer will cooperate fully
with Customer in the transition process to a new Printer.
3.13 In the event either of the parties should become insolvent or bankrupt,
the other party shall be entitled to terminate this Contract on no less
than thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party or to its estate
or successor.
3.14 Subject to the remainder of this agreement, upon termination, Customer
shall not be liable for any of the Printer's costs: (a) incurred or
ordered after notice; (b) which can be cancelled at no loss to the
Printer, or (c) in excess of the out-of-pocket loss to the Printer of any
unused items sold to other customers or third parties or returned to
suppliers. In any event, Printer's costs will only include normal
manufacturing expenses.
3.15 Upon the sale of the Magazines, or any one of them, Customer will attempt
to have the purchaser continue this Agreement for any unexpired term.
4.0 LIABILITY FOR CONTENT
---------------------
4
4.1 Customer will indemnify and hold Printer harmless from and against any
claims, demands, suits, actions, costs, loss or judgements, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, for libel, defamation of character,
copyright or trademark infringement, invasion of right of privacy or
publicity, patent infringement or invasion of any other right, by any
person, firm or entity against the Printer not attributable to
Printer's fault and arising out of any material delivered by the
Customer or supplied on its behalf to Printer and used by Printer
according to Customer's instructions in producing the three (3)
Magazines, provided that such indemnity shall not include
consequential or exemplary damages or lost profits.
4.2 In like manner Printer shall indemnify and hold Customer harmless from
and against any claims, demands, suits, actions, costs, loss or
judgements, including reasonable attorneys' fees, for libel,
defamation of character, copyright or trademark infringement, invasion
of right of privacy or publicity, patent infringement or invasion of
any other right, by any person, firm or entity against Customer
arising out of any act or omission of Printer in performing its
services hereunder, provided, however that such indemnity shall not
exceed the value of the contract and shall not include liability for
consequential or exemplary damages or lost profits.
4.3 No indemnification promised in sections 4.1 or 4.2 above shall be
effective unless the indemnified party shall have given prompt notice
of any indemnifiable claim to the indemnifying party. Thereafter the
indemnifying party shall at its sole cost and expense defend the claim
by counsel of its choosing reasonably acceptable to the indemnified
party or at its option instruct the indemnified party to defend but at
the indemnifying party's expense. Nothing herein shall prevent any
indemnified party from retaining its own counsel at its own expense to
advise it or to elect to defend with its own counsel but in such event
such defense shall be at the indemnified party's sole expense and risk
of liability. No indemnifying party shall conclude a settlement
binding on an indemnified party absent the consent of the indemnified
party. Should an indemnified party elect to settle or compromise any
claim solely as to itself without permission of the indemnifying
party, the indemnifying party shall thereafter have no further
obligations toward the indemnified party.
5.0 DISPUTED INVOICES
5.1 Customer shall not be obligated to pay any portion of any invoice,
which it disputes in good faith. Customer shall have sixty (60) days
from the receipt of such invoice to notify the Printer in writing of
any items which it disputes and shall specify its grounds therefor.
Thereafter the parties shall attempt during the next thirty (30) days
to attempt to resolve the dispute among themselves in good faith. In
no event shall dispute of an invoice by Customer be deemed a breach of
this Contract or entitle Printer to stop or distrain work.
5.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Printer's
continued failure, for any reason whatsoever except events of force
majeure, to produce the three (3) Magazines or to produce them timely
in accordance with the production schedule submitted by the Customer
and agreed upon by Printer, shall entitle Customer, on thirty (30)
days' notice, to terminate this Contract and take the work elsewhere.
In case of events of force majeure paragraph 3.11.2 will apply.
6.0 MISCELLANEOUS
