  6.6.3.   Should Caterpillar reasonably believe at any time that the quality, product support, or services (each taken as a whole) for Caterpillar Branded Telehandlers or other items described in Section 6.1 are not consistent with the Trademark Quality Standards, Caterpillar shall notify JLG in writing of such alleged deficiency, which notice shall include a detailed explanation of, and Caterpillar’s suggested cure for, such alleged deficiency. JLG shall, within 10 days of Caterpillar’s notice to JLG, notify Caterpillar that JLG (i) has or will take curative steps to alleviate the alleged deficiency within 60 days and include a detailed explanation of such curative steps, or (ii) disagrees, in good faith, with Caterpillar’s reasonable belief of the alleged deficiency, which notice shall include a detailed explanation of why JLG disagrees. In the event the parties are in disagreement about the alleged deficiency (a “Quality Dispute”), within 10 days of JLG’s notice to Caterpillar of such disagreement, senior executives of the Parties shall meet to attempt to resolve the Quality Dispute. In the event that such senior executives are unable to resolve the Quality Dispute despite good faith efforts, the Parties shall submit such matter to mediation under the

11


 

      Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association and a mediator shall be selected, both within 3 days. Once commenced, no such mediation shall be permitted to proceed for more than 10 days. Each Party shall bear its own costs relating to the mediation, but the costs and expenses of the mediator and any administrative costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by the Parties.
 
  6.6.4.   In the event the Parties are unable to resolve the Quality Dispute, the parties shall submit such matter to binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois, before a single arbitrator under the auspices and pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration hearing will be scheduled so that it is concluded within 20 days from the date of the filing of the arbitration, and the arbitrator shall render his decision within 10 days after the closing of the hearing. The arbitrator will be chosen under the usual procedures and from the usual panels of the American Arbitration Association except that the arbitrator shall not have performed, directly or indirectly, a material amount of work for either Party within the five-year period immediately preceding the date of his selection or intend or desire to perform work for either party within one year following the date of his selection. The sole issue to be arbitrated before the arbitrator is whether the alleged deficiency exists, and the arbitrator may only find either (i) the alleged deficiency exists, or (ii) the alleged deficiency does not exist. This determination shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect.

The Alliance Fee (and any associated late payment charge) shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. JLG and Caterpillar will cooperate in minimizing the incidence of any such deduction or withholding, including completing any procedural formalities necessary for JLG to obtain authorisation under any applicable double taxation agreement to make a payment under this Section 9 without any such deduction or withholding.
 
  9.3.   Sales Reports. Together with each Alliance Fee payment, JLG shall furnish Caterpillar Inc., for all Caterpillar Branded Telehandlers and JLG Supplied Telehandlers sold by JLG to a Caterpillar Dealer during such calendar quarter, with a report showing the number and model of units sold, the name of the Caterpillar Dealer to whom they were sold, and the corresponding net selling price of such unit (less the net purchase price paid by JLG for any Caterpillar components contained in such telehandler).

  11.9.   Remedies in Addition to Termination.

12. Indemnification; Insurance
  12.1.   Caterpillar Indemnity. Caterpillar hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless JLG and its directors, officers, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “JLG Indemnitees"), with respect to any and all liabilities, claims, causes of action, assessments, damages, losses, fines, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, professional, and expert witness fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses") sustained or incurred by any JLG Indemnitee resulting from, arising out of, or related to (i) the design (for the avoidance of doubt, only for B Series Telehandlers and Compact Telehandlers manufactured by Caterpillar), manufacture, supply, distribution, sale, advertisement, or marketing of B Series Telehandlers and Compact Telehandlers by Caterpillar, (ii) subject to Section 12.4, the Common Intellectual Property or the Caterpillar Marks as used by JLG in accordance with the terms of this Agreement infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party, or (iii) Caterpillar’s sublicense of the intellectual property licensed to Caterpillar by JLG pursuant to Section 8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Caterpillar shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever to JLG with respect to (a) any infringement to the extent that such infringement is due to a modification or improvement to the Common Intellectual Property by or on behalf of JLG, (b) any use of the Common Intellectual Property in a manner other than the use intended under this Agreement, or (c) any infringement claim (1) on a pro rata basis, to the extent it does not result entirely from the Common Intellectual Property, or (2) relating to Common Intellectual Property not utilized by Caterpillar in the production of B Series Telehandlers or Compact Telehandlers.
 
  12.2.   JLG Indemnity. JLG hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Caterpillar and its directors, officers, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Caterpillar Indemnitees"), with respect to any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Caterpillar Indemnitee resulting from, arising out of, or related to (i) the design, manufacture, supply, distribution, sale, advertisement, or marketing by or on behalf of JLG (except if done by Caterpillar) of the Caterpillar Branded Telehandlers, the JLG Supplied Telehandlers, the JLG Common Platform, and, to the extent incorporating the Common Intellectual Property, JLG’s current telehandler product line, except to the extent such Loss is the result of a design acquired from Caterpillar in the Transferred Intellectual Property or licensed by Caterpillar in the Common Intellectual Property and such design was unchanged by JLG, and (ii) the use by JLG of the Marks and/or the Common Intellectual Property not in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) JLG’s sublicense of the Common Intellectual Property pursuant to Section 7.4.
 
  12.3.   Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified Party will give prompt notice to the indemnifying Party of any Loss for which the indemnifying Party may have an

24


 

      indemnity obligation under this Section 12, but the failure to so notify will not reduce the indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith with each other in the defense of any Losses. The indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its expense, in the defense of any Losses.
 
  12.4.   Remedy for Intellectual Property Infringement. With respect to an intellectual property infringement indemnification obligation of Caterpillar under Section 12.1(ii), the indemnifying Party may, in its sole discretion, settle any such claim on a basis requiring the indemnifying Party to substitute, at the cost of the indemnifying Party, for the infringing intellectual property (excluding third party intellectual property) (“Infringing Intellectual Property”) alternative, substantially equivalent non-infringing intellectual property. In the event that any preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, or final injunction shall be obtained, the indemnifying Party shall promptly, at its sole option, either (i) obtain the right for continued use of the Infringing Intellectual Property, (ii) modify the Infringing Intellectual Property to avoid such infringement while obtaining substantially equivalent functionality, (iii) substitute for the Infringing Intellectual Property alternative, substantially equivalent intellectual property, or (iv) indemnify the other Party for its Losses pursuant to Section 12.1.
 
  12.5.   Insurance. Each Party, at its expense, shall maintain during the entire Term and for a period of no less than 10 years thereafter, a program for product liability including a self-insurance element and a product liability insurance element, with a minimum combined single limit of liability of $25,000,000 for bodily injury, death and property damage. Such insurance shall (i) be primary coverage to any similar coverage carried by the other Party, (ii) provide the other Party with additional insured status (the certificate must state “[Caterpillar Inc. and its Affiliates][JLG Industries Inc. and its Affiliates] are additional insureds on and subject to the terms of this Agreement and any modification or amendment to this additional insured status is prohibited without the prior written consent of [Caterpillar Inc.][JLG Industries Inc.]”, and (iii) provide at least 30 days prior written notice of any suspension, cancellation, non-renewal, or reduction in coverage to the other Party. Promptly following execution of this Agreement, each Party shall provide the other Party with a certificate of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage.

26


 

      endeavor to give the Disclosing Party an opportunity to respond prior to such disclosure, (ii) required to be made to a court or other tribunal in connection with the enforcement of the Receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement, or (iii) approved by the prior consent of the Disclosing Party.

15. Miscellaneous Provisions

Any Party affected by an Event of Force Majeure shall promptly give notice of the Event of Force Majeure to the other Party and indicate in the notice, as accurately as possible, the effect of the Event of Force Majeure on the affected Party’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the anticipated duration of the Event of Force Majeure. In the event of an Event of Force Majeure, the Party unable to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement when due shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly set up alternative means of satisfying such obligations to the extent practicable.
 
  15.7.   Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, either Caterpillar Inc. or JLG Industries, Inc. may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates, and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in any or all of which cases Caterpillar Inc. or JLG Industries, Inc., as the case may be, shall nonetheless remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder).
