8.1
Mutual Indemnification. Each of
the Parties will indemnify, defend, and hold the other Party and
its respective affiliates, employees, agents, officers, and
directors (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”)
harmless, at the expense of the non-indemnified party, from any
claim, action, cause of action, demand, lawsuit, arbitration,
inquiry, audit, notice of violation, proceeding, litigation,
citation, summons, subpoena, or investigation of any nature, civil,
criminal, administrative, regulatory, or other, whether at law, in
equity, or otherwise (an “Action”) from any and all
losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments,
settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses
of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the
costs of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the
cost of pursuing any insurance providers (“Losses”), incurred by the
Indemnified Parties as a result of any breach of this Agreement by
the other Party or any of the representations or warranties
contained in Section

misappropriation.
8.2
By ggCircuit. ggCircuit will
indemnify, defend, and hold the SLG Indemnified Parties harmless,
at its expense, from any Losses resulting from any Action by a
third party that (i) alleges SLG’s use of ggLeap as permitted
by this Agreement infringes or misappropriates any such third
party’s Intellectual Property Rights in the United States; or
(ii) that the coins generated through ggChampions prior to the
Effective Date are illegal or infringing on any third party
rights.
8.3
By SLG. SLG will indemnify,
defend, and hold the ggCircuit Indemnified Parties harmless, at its
expense, from any Losses resulting from an Action by a third party
arising from its advertising, promotion, and marketing of Prime and
the other rights granted to it under this Agreement, and from any
claim arising from a customer of ggCircuit (or its customer, such
as an end-user player) using services provided by SLG.
8.4
Indemnification Procedure. Each
Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any
Action for which such Party believes it is entitled to be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 8. The Party seeking
indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall
cooperate with the other party (the “Indemnitor”) at the
Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly
assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnitee to handle and defend the same, at the
Indemnitor's sole cost and expense (which such counsel may be panel
counsel appointed by Indemnitor’s insurance company). The
Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its
own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The
Indemnitor shall not settle any Action without the Indemnitee's
prior written consent, which such consent may not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If the Indemnitor fails or
refuses to assume control of the defense of such Action, the
Indemnitee has the right, but no obligation, to defend against such
Action, including settling such Action after giving notice to the
Indemnitor, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the
Indemnitee may deem appropriate. The Indemnitee's failure to
perform any obligations under this Clause 8.4 will not relieve the
Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 8, except to the extent
that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially
prejudiced as a result of such failure.

Mitigation. If ggLeap or any of
the services provided by ggCircuit, are, or in SLG’s opinion
are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise
violate any third-party Intellectual Property Rights, ggCircuit
may, at its option and sole cost and expense:
(A) obtain
the right for SLG to continue to use the services or ggLeap as
materially contemplated by this Agreement;
(B) modify
or replace the services or ggLeap, in whole or in part, to seek to
make the services or ggLeap (as so modified)
non-infringing;
(C) by
written notice to SLG, terminate this Agreement with respect to all
or part of the services or ggLeap, and require SLG to immediately
cease any use of the services or ggLeap (or any specified part or
feature thereof).
8.5
Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 8 SETS FORTH THE
PARTIES’ SOLE REMEDIES AND THE PARTIES’ SOLE
LIABILITIES AND ANY OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR
ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES, GGLEAP, OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF
THIS AGREEMENT INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES

ARISING UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY,
EVEN IF ONE OF THE PARTIES WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES, AND (B) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY TO
THE OTHER EXCEED THE SUM PAID BY SLG TO GGCIRCUIT IN THE TWELVE
MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF

ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON THE EXPRESS CONDITION THAT EACH OF
THEM AGREES TO THE “DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES” AND

Relationship of the Parties.
The relationship between the Parties is that of independent

of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between
the Parties, and neither Party has authority to contract for or
bind the other Party in any manner whatsoever.
12.3
Public Announcements. Neither
Party may issue or release any announcement, statement, press
release, or other publicity or marketing materials relating to this
Agreement or, unless expressly permitted under this Agreement,
otherwise use the other Party's trademarks, service marks, trade
names, logos, domain names, or other indicia of source,
association, or sponsorship, in each case, without the prior
written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties
agree to issue a mutually approved public announcement inclusive of
a formal press release about the partnership within 30 days of the
Effective Date.
12.4
Assignment. Neither Party may
assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior
written consent of the other, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party

limiting the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the
benefit of each Party’s permitted successors and
assigns.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their

or modification is sought to be enforced. No waiver by either Party
of any default in performance on the part of the other Party or of
any breach or series of breaches by the other Party of any of the
terms or conditions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of
any subsequent default in performance under this Agreement or any
subsequent breach of any terms or conditions within. Performance of
any obligation required of a Party under this Agreement may be
waived only by a written waiver signed by a duly authorized officer
of the other Party; such waiver will be effective only with respect
to the specific obligation described therein.

will be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that
performance of its obligations, or attempts to cure any breach, are
delayed or prevented by reason of circumstance beyond its
reasonable control, including without limitation fire, natural
disaster, earthquake, accidents or other acts of God and which
renders their performance impossible (“Force Majeure”), provided
that the Party seeking to delay its performance gives the other
written notice of any such Force Majeure within five (5) days after
its discovery, and further provided that such Party uses its good
faith efforts to cure the Force Majeure. This clause is not
applicable to any payment obligations.

This Agreement and any disputes arising hereunder are governed by
and construed under the laws of the State of Indiana, excluding its
conflicts of law rules (so that Indiana law is applied in any
dispute). This Agreement is entered into and partly performable in
the State of Indiana. Accordingly, both parties agree that they are
subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts serving
Marion County, Indiana and any legal proceeding arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement must be brought solely in the

forum not convenient or otherwise) to the exercise of such
jurisdiction over it by any such courts.
12.9
Equitable Relief. Each Party
acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by it
would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary
damages would not be an adequate remedy and that, in the event of
such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled
to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction,
specific performance, and any other relief that may be available
from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other
security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are
not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in
addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in
equity, or otherwise.
12.10
Attorneys’ Fees. In the
event that any action, suit, or other legal or administrative
proceeding is instituted or commenced by either Party against the
other Party arising out of or related to this Agreement, the
prevailing Party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys'

acknowledge that this Agreement expresses their entire
understanding and agreement, and that there have been no
warranties, representations, covenants or understandings made by
either Party to the other except such as are expressly set forth in
