4885-6196-2258, v. 3 <br />To the extent permitted by North Carolina law, Client will defend, indemnify and hold EMSAR, its officers, <br />managers, personnel, affiliates and agents (collectively, “Representatives”) harmless from and against any and all <br />claims and demands (including damages, liabilities, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, <br />incurred in connection with such claims and demands) (“Claims”) made by any third parties against EMSAR <br />arising from or relating to the Covered Equipment or any bodily injury (including death) or property damage <br />related to the use and/or misuse of the Covered Equipment, except to the extent such Claims arise from the <br />negligence or willful misconduct of EMSAR or its Representatives. <br />Subject to the limitations in Section 11, EMSAR agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Client and its <br />Representatives harmless from and against any and all Claims made by any third parties against Client in <br />connection with the Covered Equipment arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of EMSAR or its <br />Representatives. <br /> <br />13. NON-SOLICITATION <br />Client acknowledges that EMSAR’s personnel and any person performing services on EMSAR’s behalf <br />(collectively, “EMSAR Personnel”) are of great value to EMSAR and have been trained and developed by <br />EMSAR at great cost. Client agrees that it will not, at any time during the term of this Agreement and for a <br />period of two (2) years thereafter, employ or engage, attempt to employ or engage, or otherwise solicit for <br />employment or engagement, any EMSAR Personnel, except with the prior written consent of EMSAR; provided, <br />however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit Client from soliciting, employing or engaging any <br />person who responds to a general advertisement or solicitation not specifically directed at any EMSAR Personnel. <br /> <br />14. FORCE MAJEURE <br />EMSAR will make every effort not to cancel or reschedule any scheduled services. Notwithstanding the <br />foregoing, EMSAR will not be liable for any loss, damage or delay or failure to perform, in whole or in part, <br />caused by events beyond EMSAR’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, natural <br />disasters, disease, epidemics, pandemics (including COVID-19), acts or omissions of any governmental authority, <br />riot, war or similar hostility, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other labor disturbances. In the event of any <br />such delay or failure to perform, Client’s sole remedy against EMSAR will be to terminate this Agreement under <br />Section 7. <br /> <br />15. GOVERNING LAW; SURVIVAL; SEVERABILITY <br />This Agreement and the duties, responsibilities, obligations and rights of respective parties hereunder shall be <br />governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina. <br /> <br />The provisions of Sections 8, 11, 12, 15, 16 and 17 will survive the termination of this Agreement. <br /> <br />If any provision of this Agreement is held as a matter of law to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement <br />shall be valid and binding upon the Parties. <br /> <br />16. ASSIGNMENT <br />This Agreement will not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, which <br />consent will not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EMSAR may <br />assign this Agreement to a successor in interest upon a merger, reorganization, change of control, acquisition or <br />sale of all or substantially all of the assets of EMSAR, or to a lender for collateral assignment purposes, in each <br />case, without Client’s consent. Any assignment in violation of this Section will be void. <br /> <br />17. AMENDMENT <br />This Agreement, including the Proposal, may only be amended with the consent of both parties in writing. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 13C619D3-FFCF-4509-91E9-A76BEA1CDEA4
