Rights. In addition to the indemnification obligations of each party under this Section 12.1, LIVMOR will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HeartBeam and its directors, officers, and employees from and against all taxes, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses arising from or in connection with any third party claims resulting from (x) any violation or infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights resulting in whole or in part from the Foreground Technology or Foreground IP Rights; or (y) the breaches of the BAA or Section 9 by LIVMOR. . This Section 12 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for each indemnified party, and the sole and exclusive liability for each indemnifying party, with respect to the infringement of the intellectual property of any third party by the indemnifying party.
12.2Intellectual Property Infringement. In the event of any claim concerning the intellectual property rights of a third party that would prevent or limit HeartBeam’s use of any Services or the Platform, LIVMOR will, in addition to its obligations under Section 12.1, take one of the following actions at its sole option and expense:
(a) procure for HeartBeam the right to continue use of the Services and the Platform; or
(b) modify or amend the Platform or infringing part thereof, or replace the Platform or infringing part thereof with another part having substantially the same or better capabilities.

This
Section 12 shall contain the sole and exclusive remedy for each party with respect to the other party’s infringement of any third party intellectual property.
12.3Indemnification Procedures. The indemnified party shall provide the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement. However, that failure to give such prompt notification will not affect the indemnifying party’s obligation to indemnify except to the extent the indemnifying party will have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in connection with any such claim (at the indemnifying party's expense). The indemnifying party shall be given sole control over defense and settlement of any such claim (provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not settle or consent to an adverse judgement in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding to the extent that such judgment or settlement involves more than the payment of money or anything other than a full general release, without the prior express written consent of the indemnified party).
13.MISCELLANEOUS
13.1Independent Contractor. It is the express intention of the parties that LIVMOR performs the Services as an independent contractor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LIVMOR is not authorized to bind HeartBeam to any liability or obligation or to represent that LIVMOR has any authority. LIVMOR will indemnify and hold HeartBeam harmless to the extent of any obligation imposed on HeartBeam resulting from a determination that LIVMOR is not an independent contractor.
13.2Limitation of Remedies. EXCEPT FOR BREACHES OF SECTION 2.8, SECTION 8 OR 9, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PARTIES’ INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12, EACH PARTY, WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF A PARTY IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING. EXCEPT FOR BREACHES OF SECTION 2.8, SECTION 8 OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PARTIES’ INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12, EACH PARTY WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNTS PAID BY HEARTBEAM TO LIVMOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (EXCEPT THAT WITH RESPECT TO BREACHES OF SECTION 9 BY EITHER PARTY, AND BREACHES OF THE BAA BY LIVMOR, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH BREACH WILL NOT EXCEED THREE TIMES (3X) OF THE AMOUNTS PAID BY HEARTBEAM TO LIVMOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT).

13.9Waiver. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time, will not be

construed as a waiver of the party’s rights under this Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement or prejudice the party’s right to take subsequent action. Exercise or enforcement by either party of any right or remedy under this Agreement will not preclude the enforcement by the party of any other right or remedy under this Agreement or that the party is entitled by law to enforce.
13.10Severability. If any term, condition, or provision in this Agreement is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, the parties will endeavor in good faith to agree to amendments that will preserve, as far as possible, the intentions expressed in this Agreement. If the parties fail to agree on an amendment, the invalid term, condition, or provision will be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions of this Agreement, which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

No terms, provisions, or conditions of any purchase order, acknowledgement, or other business form that either party may use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will have any effect on the rights, duties, or obligations of the parties under, or otherwise modify, this Agreement, regardless of any failure of a receiving party to object to these terms, provisions, or conditions. This Agreement may not be amended, except by a writing signed by both parties. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any of the exhibits, the terms of this Agreement will prevail solely to the extent of the conflict.

The headings appearing at the beginning of the Articles or Sections contained in this Agreement have been inserted for reference purposes only and must not be used to construe or interpret this Agreement.
