To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Installer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Loanpal and Loanpal’s Affiliates, officers, members, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Loanpal Indemnified Person”, and collectively, the “Loanpal Indemnified Persons”) from and against any Losses caused by: (a) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant or other Installer Default under this Agreement; (b) any property damage, bodily injury or death arising from the Installation or Installer’s personnel’s operation of Projects; (c) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant or default by Installer under any Home Improvement Contract; (d) any failure by Installer to achieve a completion deadline set forth in the applicable Program Specification for a Project; (e) Loanpal’s termination of any Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1; or (f) (i) the uncovering or unveiling, or any release by Installer or its Sub-Installers or agents of any Hazardous Materials; (ii) any enforcement or compliance proceeding commenced by or in the name of any Governmental Authority because of an alleged, threatened or actual violation of any Applicable Law by Installer or its Sub-Installers or agents because of the presence on the applicable Job Site of any Hazardous Materials; or (iii) any action reasonably necessary to ▇▇▇▇▇, remediate or prevent a violation or threatened violation of any Applicable Law by Installer or its Sub-Installers or agents with respect to any Hazardous Materials.

7.2 Loanpal Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Loanpal shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Installer and Installer’s Affiliates, officers, members, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Installer Indemnified Person”, and collectively, the “Installer Indemnified Persons”) from and against any Losses caused by any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant or other Loanpal Default under this Agreement.

7.3 Comparative Fault. It is the intent of the Parties that where fault is determined to have been joint or contributory, principles of comparative fault will be followed and each indemnifying Party shall bear the proportionate cost of any Losses attributable to such indemnifying Party’s fault.

7.4 Notice of First Party Claims and Indemnification Procedures. Any Installer Indemnified Person or Loanpal Indemnified Person with a claim to indemnification under this Article 7 (each, an “Indemnified Person,” and collectively “Indemnified Persons”) for Losses other than Losses arising from third-party claims addressed in Section 7.5 shall promptly notify the applicable indemnifying Party (each, an “Indemnitor”) in writing of such claim, which notice shall specify with particularity and to the extent practicable the basis on which indemnification is sought and the amount of Losses. Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnitor shall have 30 days to object to the claim set forth in such notice by delivery of a written objection to the Indemnified Person specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection. Failure to timely deliver an objection shall constitute the Indemnitor’s final and binding acceptance of the Indemnified Party’s claim. If the Indemnitor timely delivers an objection pursuant to this Section 7.4, the Parties shall in good faith seek to resolve any dispute within the 30-day period following delivery of such objection. If the Parties have not resolved their dispute within such period, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 9.2.

7.5 Third Party Claims. Whenever any Indemnified Person shall learn of a claim made by a Person other than one of the Parties that, if allowed (whether voluntarily or by a judicial or quasi-judicial tribunal or agency), would entitle such Indemnified Person to indemnification under this Article 7, before paying the same or agreeing thereto the Indemnified Person shall forward the claim to the Indemnitor within ten days of receipt thereof if such claim is in writing and shall otherwise notify the Indemnitor in writing within ten days of receipt of such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification shall be diminished by the failure to give prompt notice only to the extent that the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice was prejudicial to the interests of the Indemnitor. Unless the Indemnitor gives written notice to the Indemnified Person within 15 days disputing Indemnitor’s indemnity obligations hereunder with respect to such claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defense of the claim, at the Indemnitor’s cost, with counsel selected by the Indemnitor but acceptable to the Indemnified Person in its reasonable discretion. The Indemnitor’s election to control the defense of the claim shall be deemed acceptance by the Indemnitor of its indemnity obligations hereunder to the extent such claim results in Losses to the Indemnified Person. The Indemnitor’s control over the claim shall include the right to lead any investigation, negotiation, settlement, litigation or other contest of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall have no right to enter into any settlement without the Indemnified Person’s consent if the settlement would involve any foreclosure, injunctive or other equitable relief or an admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Person or involve a payment that would exceed the limitation of liability in Article 8. The Indemnified Person shall participate in any such investigation, negotiation, settlement, litigation or other contest, as reasonably requested by the Indemnitor and at the Indemnitor’s cost. The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnified Person apprised of important developments related to the claim, shall promptly respond to questions the Indemnified Person may direct to the Indemnitor with respect to the claim and shall generally cooperate with the Indemnified Person in connection with the claim. If any suit or proceeding involves the potential imposition of criminal liability upon the Indemnified Person or a potential or actual conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnitor, or if the Indemnitor does not elect to control the defense of such claim within the 15-day period provided above, the Indemnified Person may, in its reasonable discretion, either defend such suit or proceeding or settle the claim that is the basis thereof, without the consent of the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall nevertheless pay the Indemnified Person’s Losses. The Indemnified Person shall not be required to refrain from paying any claim that has matured by a court judgment or decree, unless an appeal is duly taken therefrom and execution thereof has been stayed, nor shall it be required to refrain from paying any claim where the delay to pay such claim would result in the foreclosure of a lien upon any of the property of the Indemnified Person, or where any delay in payment would cause the Indemnified Person an incremental economic loss, unless the Indemnitor shall have agreed to compensate the Indemnified Person for such loss.

7.6 Indemnification Expenses. To the extent that an Indemnitor has not elected to assume the defense of a claim under Section 7.5, the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnified Person for all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses as and when incurred by such Indemnified Person (including reasonable legal fees and costs) in connection with defending, settling or investigating an actual or threatened action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding, provided that such Indemnified Person shall repay such reimbursement payments if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 7. Amounts payable by an Indemnitor under this Section shall be due and payable promptly upon receipt by such Indemnitor of an invoice detailing such reimbursable costs and expenses.

7.7 Breach of Indemnity Obligations. In the event that the Indemnitor breaches its obligations hereunder, the Indemnitor shall be liable for: (a) the fees and costs incurred by the Indemnified Person in enforcing its indemnity rights; and (b) simple interest on any monetary obligation of Indemnitor from the time such monetary obligation matured until the time paid in full at an annual rate of 12% or the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is less.

ARTICLE 8.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.1 No Consequential or Punitive Damages. In no event shall either Loanpal or Installer or their Affiliates be liable to the other Party, nor shall Loanpal be liable to any Sub-Installer or vendor of Installer, either individually or jointly, for special, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any nature whatsoever, including losses or damages caused by reason of loss of use, loss of production, loss of profits or revenue, loss of contracts, inventory or use charges, interest charges or cost of capital or claims of Loanpal’s customers; and Loanpal hereby releases Installer and its Sub-Installers and vendors therefrom, and Installer hereby releases Loanpal therefrom; provided, however, the limitation of liability in this Section shall not apply to (a) Installer’s liability under this Agreement for indemnification for Losses arising as a result of claims, actions and suits by third parties, (b) damages arising from fraud or willful misconduct or (c) damages arising as a result of a breach of Section 9.12 or Section 9.13.

9.2.1 Arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The Parties will first attempt to agree on a mutually acceptable arbitrator, and if they are unable to reach agreement within ten days after the initial demand for arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.

9.2.3 Attendees. The only Persons entitled to attend any arbitration hearing are the arbitrator, the parties to the arbitration, their respective counsel and witnesses. Any documents or other materials produced in or generated in connection with the arbitration proceedings will not be disclosed to any Persons other than the foregoing.

9.4.1 Assignment. Except as set forth expressly herein, Installer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of Loanpal.

9.4.2 Binding on Successors. Subject to this Section, this Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section or to Indemnified Persons covered by Article 7.

9.5 Severability. If any court of competent jurisdiction holds invalid or unenforceable any provision of this Agreement, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

9.6 Governing Law. The laws of the state of California shall govern the relationship between the Parties and disputes, differences, controversies or claims directly or indirectly based on this Agreement, including those relating to the formation, validity, interpretation, construction, performance, breach, enforceability or termination of this Agreement and duties based on tort, contract or statutory concepts.

9.7 Independent Installer. Installer and its Sub-Installers, vendors, employees and agents shall be independent Installers with respect to any Installation, irrespective of whether approved by Loanpal, and neither Installer nor its Sub-Installers, vendors, employees or agents shall be deemed to be the Installers, servants, employees, or agents of Loanpal in any respect for any purpose whatsoever and none shall have any authority to create or assume any obligation, express or implied, in the name of or on behalf of Loanpal or to bind Loanpal in any manner whatsoever. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to imply that the Parties are partners, joint ventures, co-owners, debtor-creditor or otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking.

9.8 Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or email shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile or email shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. The Parties consent to the use of digital signatures.

9.9 Advice From Independent Counsel. The Parties understand that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect their rights. Each Party represents to the other that it has received legal advice from counsel of its choice regarding the meaning and legal significance of this Agreement and that it is satisfied with its legal counsel and the advice received from its legal counsel. Any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement to be construed or interpreted against any Party shall not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof.

9.10 Further Assurances.

9.12 Confidentiality. For the Term of this Agreement and for a period of five years after the termination of this Agreement, each Party (a) shall maintain the confidential nature of, and shall not use or disclose, any non-public terms of this Agreement, any financial information or other information with respect to Loanpal, Installer or any Consumer provided pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereunder that are identified as confidential or that should reasonably be understood to be confidential given the nature of such information or the circumstances surrounding the disclosure of such information (collectively, “Confidential Information”), (b) shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or permit the disclosure of any Confidential Information, and (c) other than in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, shall not make any use of or permit the use of Confidential Information for the benefit of itself or others; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the non-disclosing Party, any of its Affiliates or any of their directors, officers, agents, or other representatives, (ii) becomes available to the non-disclosing Party or any of its directors, officers, agents, or other representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing Party or its directors, officers, agents, or other representatives or any other party who is under an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information or (iii) is required or requested to be disclosed by the non-disclosing Party as a result of any applicable legal or regulatory requirement or rule or regulation of any stock exchange, or other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such non-disclosing Party; provided, that in the case of clause (iii), if a Party becomes legally compelled to disclose such information, such Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, promptly notify the other Party and, if requested by the other Party, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other Party in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to preserve the confidentiality of all Confidential Information to the maximum extent possible under the circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may disclose Confidential Information received by it to its Affiliates and such Party’s and its Affiliates’ employees, consultants, legal counsel, accountants, actual or potential lenders, actual or potential equity investors, rating agencies, actual or potential purchasers of Loan Agreements (including reasonable disclosures made in connection with any offering memoranda) or other agents or advisors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and have agreed, or are otherwise bound, to maintain the confidentiality of same on terms and conditions substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement (collectively, “Representatives”). Such Representatives shall preserve the confidential nature of all Confidential Information, and the recipient of such Confidential Information shall be liable for any Representative’s failure to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information disclosed hereunder. The Parties shall be entitled to all remedies available under Applicable Law or in equity to enforce, or seek relief in connection with, this confidentiality obligation. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party will promptly return or certify the destruction of, if so requested by the other Party, any Confidential Information provided to it and will use commercially reasonable efforts to return any copies thereof that may have been provided to others in accordance with this Section.

9.13 Security of Nonpublic Personal Information.

9.13.1 Installer and Loanpal each shall not disclose and shall take all reasonable measures to protect any data that Loanpal obtains from any credit bureau and/or conveys to Installer for firm offers of credit and any other nonpublic personal information (as defined in the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1999, title V, its implementing regulations, and other similar laws and regulations) obtained by either Party (collectively, “NPI”) to (a) any third party or (b) any employee, officer, partner or director of Installer who is not engaged in the implementation and execution of the Program and having a need to know such information for Installer to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Neither Party shall retain, in any format, electronic or otherwise, any NPI beyond what is required pursuant to this Agreement and in compliance with Applicable Law. Without by implication limiting the foregoing, if either Party allows individuals to submit personal identifying information via the Internet, such Party shall adopt and maintain a comprehensive privacy policy with respect to its handling of such personal information.

9.13.2 Each Party agrees that it has developed, implemented and will maintain at all relevant times contemplated by this Agreement effective information security policies and procedures that include administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of NPI, (b) protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of NPI, (c) protect against unauthorized access or use of NPI, and (d) ensure the proper disposal of NPI. All personnel handling NPI shall be appropriately trained in the implementation of such information security policies and procedures. Each Party shall regularly audit and review its information security policies and procedures and systems to ensure their continued effectiveness and determine whether adjustments are necessary in light of circumstances including, without limitation, changes in technology, customer information systems or threats or hazards to NPI.

9.13.3 Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any unauthorized access of NPI related to Consumers under this agreement or any breach in security measures or systems for the protection of NPI and take appropriate action to prevent further unauthorized access or cure such breach. If a Party experiences such unauthorized access or breach, that Party shall pay all related expenses, provide any notices regarding such unauthorized access to appropriate law enforcement agencies and government regulatory authorities, affected applicants, Consumers and customers as reasonably requested by the other Party and/or as required by Applicable Law.

9.13.4 Each Party may at any time upon notice to the other Party (but in no event more frequently than once each calendar year), review and audit the other Party’s information security policies, procedures and systems to verify their adequacy for protection of NPI. Each Party will correct promptly any weakness in such policies, procedures or systems identified by the other Party in its reviews thereof.

9.14 Publicity. Neither Party nor its Affiliates shall, without the consent of the other Party, issue any press release or make any other public statement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as may be required by Applicable Law, in which case, the Party proposing to issue such press release or make such public statement shall, to the extent legally permissible, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the consent of the other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before issuing such press release or making such public statement; provided, however, that either Party or its Affiliates may make public statements that are not inconsistent with (or more expansive than) previous press releases or public statements made in accordance with this Section .

9.15 Headings. The presence and use of headings throughout this Agreement are for the convenience of the Parties and have no legal significance or meaning, and they shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement.

9.16 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter. Except as provided in Section 3.2.3 (with respect to Program Specifications and Pricing Specifications), this Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written agreement executed by both Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any transaction or matter between Installer and Loanpal other than those described in this Agreement, Installer’s rights and obligations with respect to such transaction or matter shall be governed solely by the separate documentation entered into pursuant to such transaction or matter, and not by this Agreement entered into in connection therewith.
