10.3 Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be (the “Indemnified Party”), shall give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), prompt written notice of any matter of which it has knowledge and which has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim under this Section 10; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Section 10 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If any Third Party shall notify an Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter that has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim under this Section 10 (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice thereof; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Section 10 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense (at its sole cost and expense) and settlement of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement (i) involves only the payment of money damages that will be completely paid by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (iii) does not include a finding or admission of guilt or violation of Applicable Law and (iv) includes an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim by each claimant or plaintiff in favor of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, but the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, may retain separate counsel, and participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim (it being understood that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense). If the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim within 20 Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice of such claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

10.4 With respect to any Intellectual Property Claim, if an injunction against Lessee’s use of the RPC Equipment or any part thereof results from such a claim (or, if Lessee reasonably believes such an injunction is likely), Lessor shall promptly, at its sole expense and in its sole discretion (and in addition to Lessor’s other obligations hereunder) either (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Lessee the right to continue using the RPC Equipment or (ii) replace or modify the Equipment so they become non-infringing but functionally equivalent (as determined by the Specifications).

 

10.5 If any Loss in this Section 10 is contingent upon or excused by the negligence or willful misconduct of a Party and such Party and the other Party are negligent or have willfully misconducted themselves with respect to such Loss, such Loss shall be allocated between the Parties in proportion to their respective degrees of negligence or willful misconduct, as applicable.

 

11. Confidentiality.

 

11.1 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Lessor and subject to Section 11.2 and Section 12, Lessee shall (i) keep any Confidential Information of Lessor strictly confidential and not disclose or reveal such Confidential Information to any Person (other than Lessee’s Representatives actively and directly participating in the matters contemplated by this Agreement or who need to know such Confidential Information in order to discharge Lessee’s duties to such party in connection with this Agreement or operate the RPC Equipment) and (ii) not use, and cause Lessee’s Representatives to not use, such Confidential Information for any purpose (other than in furtherance of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or as reasonably necessary for Lessee’s Representatives to discharge Lessee’s duties or enforce its rights in connection with this Agreement or to operate the RPC Equipment). Lessee shall cause its Representatives to comply with this Section 11 and shall be responsible for any violation of this Section 11 by its Representatives.

 

12

 

 

11.2 If Lessee is required under Applicable Law to disclose any Confidential Information of Lessor, Lessee shall provide Lessor with prompt written notice of such requirement and Lessee may so disclose such Confidential Information, but Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Confidential Information that is so disclosed shall be accorded confidential treatment and shall only disclose that portion of such Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed by Lessee. Lessee may disclose Confidential Information of Lessor (other than Intellectual Property) to any actual or proposed, direct or indirect, investor, lender or credit rating agency or an actual or potential transferee of Lessee’s rights under this Agreement (or any of their respective advisors).

 

11.3 Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor owns the license to the Intellectual Property for the Equipment, the Maintenance and RPC Equipment Removal, and to protect such Intellectual Property, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties or Lessee otherwise abstains from such rights, Lessee shall not (and shall cause the other Lessee Parties to not): (i) decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, unbundle, or make verbal or media translations of any part of the Equipment or otherwise reduce any part of the Equipment to a human perceivable form, or permit any other Person or machine to do so, (ii) copy, modify, adapt, translate, encumber, rent, lease, license, sublicense, loan, sell, resell, distribute, time-share, or create any derivative works related to any part of the Equipment, the Maintenance and Equipment Removal or any Intellectual Property therein, (iii) provide to any Person any equipment comprising any part of the Equipment, the Maintenance and Equipment Removal or any documentation relating to any design thereof, unless as reasonably required for operation of the Equipment or in connection with the sale of Lessee or its assets or (iv) remove any proprietary legends or copyright notices that may be contained in or on any part of the Equipment or any documentation relating to any design thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, no Lessee Party shall (i) have any right to any Intellectual Property of Lessor, (ii) disclose any such Intellectual Property (except as expressly permitted by this Agreement) or (iii) use any such Intellectual Property in connection with any equipment or otherwise, without the prior written approval of Lessor.

 

11.4 Any breach of this Section 11 may result in irreparable injury to Lessor or its Affiliates for which a remedy at law may be inadequate. In addition to any relief at law which may be available for such breach, and regardless of any other provision contained in this Agreement, Lessor shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief in connection with any actual or threatened breach of this Section 11 (without the requirement to post any bond or other security).

 

11.5 The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of the Lease Term or this Agreement.

 

12. Public Announcements. Subject to this Section 12, neither Party shall make any public announcement regarding this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that either Party may make any public announcement, without consent, if required by Applicable Law or stock exchange rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11 or 12, (i) each Party may, without consent, reasonably refer to this Agreement, the RPC Equipment or the Work Site and reasonably include photographs thereof in any experience list or other promotional material and (ii) Lessor may disclose the terms of this Agreement, its related documents and other matters generated by it to potential investors, broker-dealers, financial advisors and due diligence officers in connection with any syndicated offering.

Each and every such policy:

 

(i) shall name Lessor, and any other party reasonably designated by Lessor, as an additional insured. In addition, the coverage described in Section 1(b) above relating to the Equipment shall also name Lessor as “loss payee”;

 

(ii) shall be delivered to Lessor, in the form of an insurance certificate acceptable to Lessor as evidence of such policy, prior to the Equipment Completion Date and thereafter within 30 days prior to the expiration of each such policy, and, as often as any such policy shall expire or terminate. Renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Lessee in like manner and to like extent;

 

(iii) shall contain a provision that the insurer will give to Lessor and such other parties in interest at least 30 days’ notice in writing in advance of any material change, cancellation, termination or lapse, or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance; and

 

(iv) shall be written as a primary policy which does not contribute to and is not in excess of coverage which Lessor may carry.

 

(e) In the event that Lessee shall fail to carry and maintain the insurance coverages set forth in this Section 1, Lessor may upon 30 days’ notice to Lessee (unless such coverages will lapse in which event no such notice shall be necessary) procure such policies of insurance and Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor therefor.

Each and every such policy:

 

(i) shall name Lessee, and any other party reasonably designated by Lessee, as an additional insured;

 

(ii) shall contain a provision that the insurer will give to Lessee and such other parties in interest at least 30 days’ notice in writing in advance of any material change, cancellation, termination or lapse, or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance; and

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, Lessor and Lessee hereby waive any rights each may have against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, their respective property, the Equipment, or to the other portions of the Work Site, arising from any risk covered by “Special Form” fire and extended coverage insurance of the type and amount required to be carried hereunder, provided that such waiver does not invalidate such policies or prohibit recovery thereunder.
