The fees to be charged hereunder reflect, and are set in reliance upon, this allocation of risks and the exclusion of consequential and special damages set forth in this agreement.
Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Southern Cross Engineering and its affiliates, including their respective owners, officers, directors, and employees from any claim, suit, loss, cost, damage (including consequential damages), expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), or liability of any nature or kind whatsoever directly or indirectly arising out of, or resulting from, this Agreement, including without limitation, Customer’s (i) breach or failure to comply with any of its obligations or requirements under this Agreement or any applicable law, or (ii) infringement of any copyright, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary right of a third party.
(a) Customer will be deemed to be in default of its obligations under this Agreement if:
(1) subject to the withholding right under Section 2, Customer fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the same becomes due and payable or fails to timely remit repayment on three (3) or more occasions during any eighteen (18) month period; or
(2) Customer breaches Sections 5, 6, 8, 17 or 22, regardless of any purported attempt to cure;
(3) Customer commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy the breach within thirty (30) days after having been given written notice to do so; or

In the event of Customer’s default under this Section 12(a), Southern Cross Engineering may terminate this Agreement, effective upon notice.
(b) Southern Cross Engineering will be deemed to be in default of its obligations under this Agreement if:

In the event of Southern Cross Engineering’s default under this Section 12(b), Customer may terminate this Agreement, effective upon notice.
(c) Customer acknowledges that the amounts of Fees stated in this Agreement are based on Southern Cross Engineering’s expectation that Customer shall utilize and pay for such fees associated with the IT Services for the full length of the initial Term and any renewal term, and that it would be very difficult to calculate the damages associated with Southern Cross Engineering’s loss of such Fees if Customer wrongly terminates this Agreement prior to the end of the Term of this Agreement. Therefore, Customer agrees to pay Southern Cross Engineering the total amount of the average Fees (calculated for the prior 12-months or portion thereof if this Agreement terminates prior to the end of the initial Term) that would have otherwise become due during the balance of the applicable initial Term or during any renewal term in the event that Customer wrongly terminates this Agreement, or Southern Cross Engineering terminates this Agreement for cause under Section 12(a).

If the parties are unable to reach a new agreement within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) after the occurrence of the Regulatory Matter (or after its occurrence becomes reasonably certain), either party may terminate this Agreement effective upon notice.

It is further agreed that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute either party as being a partner, joint venturer, or agent of the other.

Waiver of any breach of this Agreement committed by either party will not constitute a waiver of any other or future breach.
