4.3 | No Responsibility for Issuer Site or Issuer Content. ODB is not preparing, endorsing, adopting, reviewing or approving in any way the Issuer Site or Issuer Content or any offering material, including any offering memorandum, or any other materials of any kind prepared by Issuer or on behalf of Issuer (even if prepared by ODB on behalf of Issuer) wherever it may appear, except to the extent that the Issuer Site, Issuer Content or other material specifically references ODB, and has been approved by ODB in writing, and then only to the limited extent of such reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any of the information Issuer provided on, or through, the Issuer Site, Issuer Content, offering materials or otherwise, proves incorrect, outdated or otherwise Materially deficient, Issuer shall notify ODB, within twenty-four (24) hours of gaining knowledge of such occurrence, and work in good faith to amend the Issuer Site, Issuer Content, offering materials and the like to the parties’ mutual satisfaction. | |
4.4 | No License of Intellectual Property.

5.1 | Either Party or any Affiliate thereof may disclose to the other or an Affiliate thereof (the recipient being the “Receiving Party”) certain technical or other business information that is not generally available to the public, the specific terms of this Agreement, and/or personal information relating to any person (specifically including in the case of ODB, information relating to an Investor). All such information is referred to herein as “Confidential Information”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Books and Records as they pertain to the Private Securities (and with the permission of the Investors with respect to any personally identifying information), will be made available to Issuer, and shall be Confidential Information as to ODB, and may only be used by Issuer in accordance with Law or as otherwise authorized by the Investor to whom the information pertains by affirmative or negative consent, as permitted. | |
5.2 | The Receiving Party agrees to use Confidential Information solely in conjunction with its performance under this Agreement, in conducting an Offering, or as otherwise authorized by the Investor to whom the information pertains by affirmative or negative consent, as permitted, and not to disclose or otherwise use such information in any other fashion and to maintain such information with at least the standard of care it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. | |

In the event there is a Request, prior to making any such disclosure, the Receiving Party shall provide the disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the disclosing Party may seek, at its sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy. If, after providing such notice and assistance as required herein, the Receiving Party remains subject to such Request to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party (or its Affiliates or other persons to whom such Request is directed) shall disclose no more than that portion of the Confidential Information which, on the advice of the Receiving Party’s legal counsel, such Request specifically requires the Receiving Party to disclose. | |
5.6 | This Section 5 shall survive for a period of three (3) years beyond termination of this Agreement, except with respect to Confidential Information that is a trade secret or is personal or identifying information regarding or relating to an Investor, in which case this Section 5 shall be indefinite, unless in the case of Issuer such disclosure is authorized by the relevant Investor in connection with the Private Securities and in the case of ODB, is otherwise permitted by Law. |

Issuer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold ODB and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each a “ODB Indemnified Party” or, collectively, “ODB Indemnified Parties”) harmless against any investigation, claim, action, or proceeding (including a regulatory inquiry, whether formal or informal or any arbitration or court action) (“Action”) brought by an Investor, court, regulator or self-regulatory organization asserting jurisdiction over the ODB Indemnified Party or by any other party against any ODB Indemnified Party if such Action relates to the Issuer, any Affiliate of Issuer, the Private Securities, the Offering, the marketing and advertising thereof, or that results from any action, inaction, omission, misstatement or statement of Issuer or any person acting in connection with Issuer or on Issuer’s behalf (other than any misstatement or statement about ODB provided by ODB) arising out of or based upon (a) the Issuer Site or the offering circular, including any amended versions thereof; (b) any Material breach or alleged Material breach of any of Issuer’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder and including any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Schedules to this Agreement; (c) any breach or alleged breach of confidentiality or privacy relating to Issuer’s failure or alleged failure to treat any Investor’s personal or identifying information as confidential pursuant to Section 5; and (d) infringement or misappropriation by Issuer of any third party’s property and/or intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and publicity rights.

Promptly after receipt by a ODB Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or the commencement of any Action with respect to which a ODB Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity hereunder, ODB will notify Issuer in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such Action, and the Issuer, if requested by the ODB Indemnified Party, will assume the defense of such Action and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the ODB Indemnified Party and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, provided that any failure to promptly notify Issuer shall not affect the indemnification right of a ODB Indemnified Party except to the extent that the Issuer is Materially prejudiced by such failure.

Further, ODB shall indemnify and defend the Issuer Indemnified Parties against all Losses incurred by or levied or brought against the Issuer Indemnified Parties arising out of, or related to, Actions warranting indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.3 as such Losses arise. | |
Promptly after receipt by an Issuer Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or the commencement of any Action with respect to which an Issuer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity hereunder, Issuer will notify ODB in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such Action, and ODB, if requested by the Issuer Indemnified Party, will assume the defense of such Action and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer Indemnified Party and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel provided that any failure to promptly notify ODB shall not affect the indemnification rights of an Issuer Indemnified Party except to the extent that ODB is Materially prejudiced by such failure.

In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by ODB, in addition to local counsel. If the Issuer Indemnified Party elects ODB to assume the defense of such Action, ODB will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding, provided that ODB will not settle any such claim or Action without the prior written consent of the Issuer Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Issuer Indemnified Party assumes the defense (with payment of any related costs and expenses by ODB), the Issuer Indemnified Party will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding, provided that the Issuer Indemnified Party will not settle any claim or Action without the prior written consent of ODB, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. |
7 |
7.4 | No Claim Preclusion. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to preclude either Party from making any claim against the other arising out of a failure to perform obligations under this Agreement. Neither Party shall be precluded from claiming or commencing an action for contribution to any amounts the other may be required or otherwise agree to pay to an Investor or other third party, including a regulator, with jurisdiction over the Services. |

If the risks are not addressed or cured to Issuer’s reasonable satisfaction, Issuer may terminate this Agreement. Issuer will facilitate the orderly transition of the custody of the Private Securities to such person designated by the Issuer in accordance with Section 8.9. | |
c. | In ODB’s sole discretion, if the risks described in 8.3(a) are of sufficient size, significance or immediacy that a delay in termination of this Agreement would be inappropriate, ODB may terminate this Agreement immediately. |

a. | is in breach of any Material obligation herein or in the Schedules attached to this Agreement, and (i) such breach is incapable of being cured, or (ii) if such breach is capable of cure, such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party, or within such additional cure period as the non-breaching Party may authorize; | |
