| e) | Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Aireon and Contractor, under no circumstances will Aireon or Aireon’s suppliers, or subcontractors be liable or directly responsible to Contractor or any Auxiliary Component Customers for any damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, suits, claims, or losses arising from, directly or indirectly, the operation, integration, or accommodation of the Auxiliary Components for any reason and under any theory of liability (including for any direct or indirect, consequential, special or other damages).” |
| f) | Contractor shall also defend, indemnify and hold harmless Aireon and Aireon subcontractors and suppliers, and each of their respective successors and assigns, from and against all claims, demand and actions and resulting loss, liability, cost, expenses and damages (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and, to the extent permitted by law, any fines and penalties) made and/or incurred by (i) any Harris' customer, supplier, or contractor to the extent arising solely from Contractor’s acts or omissions, and (ii) any other third party to the extent arising solely from Contractor's gross negligence and willful misconduct, and in each case of (i) and (ii), solely in connection with the delivery, integration and/or operation of any Auxiliary Components.
