ICSC shall defend Company against any third party claim, lawsuit, or proceeding (a “Claim”) alleging that Company’s use of the ExpressPlay Service and ExpressPlay Binaries (if applicable), in the form provided by ICSC and when used in accordance with their documentation and in compliance with this Agreement, infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, and shall pay the amount of any adverse final judgment or settlement to which ICSC consents. ICSC shall have no obligation or liability under this Section 15.1 to the extent the third party claim arises from: (a) Company’s failure to incorporate a software or other update or upgrade to the ExpressPlay Service or ExpressPlay Binaries made available by ICSC that would have avoided the alleged infringement; (b) modification of the ExpressPlay Service or ExpressPlay Binaries by anyone other than ICSC; (c) specifications, instructions, features, functions, designs, or other elements provided by or requested by Company; (d) use of the ExpressPlay Service or ExpressPlay Binaries in combination with any other product, service, process, content, or material not provided by ICSC; or (e) any use of the ExpressPlay Service or ExpressPlay Binaries that is in breach of this Agreement, or any other act by Company or any End User that is in breach of this Agreement. If any portion of the ExpressPlay Service or ExpressPlay Binaries is alleged to infringe any third-party intellectual property right, then ICSC may, at its option and expense, (i) procure the rights to use that portion of the ExpressPlay Service or ExpressPlay Binaries alleged to be infringing; (ii) replace the alleged infringing portion of the ExpressPlay Service or ExpressPlay Binaries provided there is no material loss of functionality; or (iii) modify the alleged infringing portion of the ExpressPlay Services or ExpressPlay Binaries to make it non-infringing. If none of the foregoing options is reasonably available to ICSC, in its judgment, then use of the ExpressPlay Service and ExpressPlay Binaries may be terminated at the option of ICSC, and ICSC’s sole liability will be to refund any unused, prepaid fees for the ExpressPlay Service and ExpressPlay Binaries applicable to periods after the date of termination. The remedies provided in this Section 15.1, constitute the entire liability of ICSC and Company’s sole and exclusive remedies for any third-party claims of infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights.

Company shall (a) defend ICSC, its Affiliates, and their respective licensors, employees, officers, and directors against any Claim arising out of or related to (i) Company’s use of the ICSC Services or Licensed Technology other than in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) any Company Service, Company Product, or content or materials provided by or through a Company Service; (iii) any breach (or alleged breach) of Company’s representations, warranties or covenants in Section 13; and (v) any breach (or alleged breach) of Company’s obligations to its customers or End Users or dispute between Company and its customers or End Users; and (b) pay the amount of any adverse final judgment or settlement to which Company consents.

The Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement or other compromise that imposes any cost or obligation on the Indemnified Party or otherwise adversely affects the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party may participate, on a non-controlling basis, in the defense and settlement of the Claim with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice at the Indemnified Party’s expense. An Indemnifying Party’s defense and payment obligations under this Section 15 will be diminished to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s non-compliance with the foregoing procedures.

- Either Party may disclose Confidential Information in accordance with a judicial or other governmental order, provided that such Party, except where prohibited by applicable law, gives the other Party reasonable written notice prior to such disclosure to allow it an opportunity to seek a protective order or other remedy. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy, the Party is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information, such Party may, without liability hereunder, disclose that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed, provided that such Party exercises reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

Company will be deemed to have received any email sent to the email address then associated with its account when ICSC sends the email, whether or not Company actually receives the email.

Notices will be effective when the copy sent by personal delivery, overnight courier or registered or certified mail, as applicable, is received by ICSC.
- Independent Contractors. Nothing in this Agreement should be construed as creating an agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or employment relationship between the Parties. Neither Party has the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments on behalf of the other Party of any kind or to take any action binding on the other except to the extent (if any) expressly provided for in this Agreement.
- Equitable Remedies. Each Party agrees that it may be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate a Party’s damages from any breach of the obligations set forth in Sections 3.1 – 3.5, 8, 10, 12.5.1 and 17 above. Accordingly, each Party agrees that if it or any of its agents breach, threaten an imminent breach, or anticipatorily repudiate any such provision, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the other Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, and/or other equitable relief as applicable. The Parties further agree that in no such case will it be entitled to (nor shall it assert any claim or defense) that the other Party has or had an adequate remedy at law.
- Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be construed and controlled by the laws of the State of California (excluding any conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction). Except as provided in the following paragraph, venue over all disputes arising under or related to this Agreement must be in the state and federal courts within the State of California and County of Santa Clara. Both Company and ICSC irrevocably waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens for actions commenced in those courts.
In the event that Company is headquartered outside of the United States and its territories and does not have any subsidiaries or assets in the United States or its territories, the Parties agree that all disputes arising under or related to this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. Any such arbitration will be conducted in English before a single arbitrator in Santa Clara County, California, U.S.A. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The remainder of this Section notwithstanding, either Party may apply to any court at any time to obtain any injunctive or other equitable relief necessary to prevent it from suffering or continuing to suffer an injury with respect to which there is no adequate remedy at law. Process may be served on either Party in the manner authorized by applicable law, court rule, or the JAMS International Arbitration Rules (in the case of arbitration). In any litigative or arbitral action or suit to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement or to interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.
23.5. Assignment. Company may not assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of contract, law or otherwise, except with the express written consent of ICSC.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment of rights or delegation of performance in violation of this Section is void.

ICSC may use the services of subcontractors and permit them to exercise the rights granted to ICSC hereunder in order to provide the applicable ICSC Services, Support Plan, and/or Licensed Technology under this Agreement. ICSC shall remain responsible for (a) compliance of any such subcontractor with the terms of this Agreement and (b) the overall provision of the ICSC Services, Support Plan, and Licensed Technology as required under this Agreement.
23.7. Construction. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of this Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party.
23.8. Security Directives. Company acknowledges that ICSC may implement security directives due to Commercial DRM requirements, which may restrict devices from rendering protected content or require ICSC not to process transaction requests from certain devices.
23.9. Order of Precedence. In the event of a conflict between any provision of any exhibit(s) or appendices to this Agreement, on one hand, and a provision appearing in the body of this Agreement, on the other hand, the provision appearing in the body of this Agreement shall control and prevail. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Purchase Agreement, the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall control and prevail, unless such conflict relates to Section 14 (Disclaimers and Acknowledgements) or Section 16 (Limitations/Exclusions of Liability) of this Agreement, in which case the terms of this Agreement shall control and prevail.
23.10. Interpretation. For purposes of interpreting this Agreement, (a) unless the context otherwise requires, the singular includes the plural, and the plural includes the singular; (b) unless otherwise specifically stated, the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or paragraph; (c) the words “include” and “including” will not be construed as terms of limitation, and will therefore mean “including but not limited to” and “including without limitation”; and (d) the captions and section and paragraph headings used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
23.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any exhibits and appendices attached hereto, which are incorporated by this reference, together with any fully-executed Purchase Agreements constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous communications, negotiations and agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties. No unilateral terms or conditions on materials issued by Company, including purchase orders, purchase agreements, and order forms, will be used to interpret or amend the Parties’ legal rights and responsibilities as they pertain to this Agreement, the Licensed Technology, the ICSC Services or the Support Plan services and ICSC specifically objects to such terms.
23.12. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party or its Affiliates for non-performance or delay in performance of any of its or its suppliers’ obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to pay amounts due to the other Party in a timely manner, due to causes reasonably beyond its control including, fire, flood, epidemic, natural disasters, strikes, lock-out, labor trouble, other industrial disturbances, systemic electrical, telecommunications, or other utility failures, lack of raw materials or supplies, failure in third party software, unavoidable accidents, blockages, embargoes, Internet or other service provider failure or delay, governmental regulations, acts or orders, war, riots, acts of terrorism or sabotage, and insurrections.

All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to this Agreement must be in the English language.
23.15. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are inserted merely for the purpose of convenience and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Exhibit B
DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM
This Data Processing Addendum (this “Addendum”), is part of the ExpressPlay Agreement (“Agreement”) between ICSC (“Processor”) and Company (“Controller”) and governs Processor’s Processing of Personal Data to the extent such Personal Data relates to natural persons in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland in connection with Processor’s provision of the services described in the Agreement (“Services”). Except as expressly stated otherwise, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the terms of this Addendum, the terms of this Addendum will take precedence. The Addendum will become effective on the date that the Agreement becomes effective. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings given to them in Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
The Parties agree that for the purposes of this Addendum, Controller is a Data Controller and Processor is a Data Processor.
- 1. DATA PROCESSING AND PROTECTION
- Limitations on Use. ICSC will Process Personal Data, as that term is defined in the GDPR, only in accordance with Company’s instructions as documented in the Agreement, including an instruction to Process Personal Data as needed to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
- Definitions. “Personal Data”, “Process”, “Processing”, and other terms capitalized here shall have the meanings attributed to them by the definitions in the GDPR.
- Legal Basis for Processing. The Data Controller warrants that it has all necessary rights to provide the Personal Data to the Data Processor for the Processing to be performed in relation to the Services, and that one or more lawful bases set forth in EU Data Protection Law support the lawfulness of the Processing. To the extent required by EU Data Protection Law, the Data Controller is responsible for ensuring that all necessary privacy notices are provided to data subjects, and unless another legal basis set forth in EU Data Protection Law supports the lawfulness of the processing, that any necessary data subject consents to the Processing are obtained, and for ensuring that a record of such consents is maintained. Should such a consent be revoked by a data subject, the Data Controller is responsible for communicating the fact of such revocation to the Data Processor, and the Data Processor remains responsible for implementing Data Controller’s instruction with respect to the processing of that Personal Data.
- Confidentiality. ICSC will ensure that persons authorized to Process Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under a statutory obligation of confidentiality.
- Security. ICSC will implement, maintain, monitor, and, where necessary, update appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data against anticipated threats or hazards to its security, confidentiality, or integrity.
- Data Breaches. ICSC will notify Company without undue delay via agreed upon channels whenever ICSC learns that there has been a personal data breach (as defined in the GDPR). Taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to ICSC, ICSC will assist Company at Company’s request in complying with Company’s notification obligations regarding Personal Data Breaches as required by the GDPR. ICSC reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee to Company for such requested assistance, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Transfer of Personal Data; Appointment. Controller authorizes Processor to transfer, store or Process Personal Data in the United States or any other country in which Processor or its Sub-processors maintain facilities. Controller appoints Processor to perform any such transfer of Personal Data to any such country and to store and Process Personal Data in order to provide the Services. Processor will conduct all such activity in compliance with the Agreement, this Addendum, applicable law and Controller’s instructions.
- Cross-Border Transfers. If Company is located or conducts business in a Member State of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or any country in which the competent data protection authority has approved the use of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, then Company (as “data exporter”) and ICSC (as “data importer”) hereby enter into, as of the Effective Date, the Standard Contractual Clauses (the text of which is available at 2010/87/: Commission Decision of 5 February 2010, which are incorporated by this reference and constitute an integral part of this Agreement. The Parties are deemed to have accepted and executed the Standard Contractual Clauses in their entirety, including the appendices to those Standard Contractual Clauses in the forms attached hereto as Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 to the Standard Contractual Clauses. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the EU Model Clauses, the EU Model Clauses shall prevail.
- Subprocessing. Company authorizes ICSC to transfer Personal Data to subprocessors for purposes of providing the ICSC Services to Company. ICSC will maintain a list of the subprocessors and will provide this list to Company upon request. ICSC will provide to Company 30 days’ prior notice when adding a subprocessor to this list and the opportunity to object to such addition. Company will have 30 days from when a subprocessor is published to the list to object to the addition; if no objection is received, the subprocessor is deemed to be accepted by Company. ICSC will enter into an agreement with such subprocessor that is at least as restrictive as this Exhibit.
- Requests or Complaints from Individuals. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, ICSC will assist Company, at Company’s request, by appropriate technical and organizational measures, with Company’s obligation to respond to data subjects’ requests to exercise their rights under the GDPR. Taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to ICSC, ICSC also will assist Company at Company’s request in meeting Company’s compliance obligations regarding carrying out privacy and data protection impact assessments and related consultations of data protection authorities. ICSC reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee to Company for such requested assistance, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Audits. Upon request, Processor will make available to Controller all information necessary, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Controller or another auditor mandated by Controller, to demonstrate compliance with Article 28 of the GDPR. For clarity, such audits or inspections are limited to Processor’s Processing of Personal Data only, not any other aspect of Processor’s business or information systems. If Controller requires Processor to contribute to audits or inspections that are necessary to demonstrate compliance, Controller will provide Processor with written notice at least 60 days in advance of such audit or inspection. Such written notice will specify the things, people, places or documents to be made available. Such written notice, and anything produced in response to it (including any derivative work product such as notes of interviews), will be considered Confidential Information and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, will remain Confidential Information in perpetuity or the longest time allowable by applicable law after termination of the Agreement. Such materials and derivative work product produced in response to Controller’s request will not be disclosed to anyone without the prior written permission of Processor unless such disclosure is required by applicable law. If disclosure is required by applicable law, Controller will give Processor prompt written notice of that requirement and an opportunity to obtain a protective order to prohibit or restrict such disclosure except to the extent such notice is prohibited by applicable law or order of a court or governmental agency. Controller will make every effort to cooperate with Processor to schedule audits or inspections at times that are convenient to Processor. If, after reviewing Processor’s response to Controller’s audit or inspection request, Controller requires additional audits or inspections, Controller acknowledges and agrees that it will be solely responsible for all costs incurred in relation to such additional audits or inspections.
- Regulatory Investigations. Upon notice to ICSC, ICSC will assist and support Company in the event of an investigation by any regulator, including a data protection authority, or similar authority, if and to the extent that such investigation relates to Personal Data handled by ICSC in connection with the ICSC Services. Such assistance will be at Company’s sole expense, except where investigation was required due to ICSC’s acts or omissions, in which case such assistance will be at ICSC’s sole expense.
- Retention. Controller shall inform Processor of the desired retention period for Personal Data received by Processor in connection with the Agreement to ensure that personal data is retained only for so long as may be reasonably required in connection with Processor’s performance of the Agreement or as otherwise required under applicable law.
- Return or Disposal. At Company’s discretion, ICSC will destroy or return all Personal Data to Company after the end of the provision of the ICSC Services, unless continuing obligations or applicable law permits or requires later processing of the Personal Data.
- Adverse Changes. ICSC will notify Company without undue delay if ICSC: (i) has reason to believe that it is unable to comply with any of its obligations under this Exhibit and it cannot cure this inability to comply within a reasonable timeframe; or (ii) becomes aware of any circumstances or change in applicable law that is likely to prevent it from fulfilling its obligations under this Exhibit. In the event that this Exhibit, or any actions to be taken or contemplated to be taken in performance of this Exhibit, do not or would not satisfy either Party’s obligations under the laws applicable to each Party, the Parties will negotiate in good faith upon an appropriate amendment to this Exhibit. In the event that the Parties are not able to negotiate an appropriate amendment such that the Parties would meet their obligations under applicable law, the Parties, and either of them, have the right to terminate or otherwise modify the Agreement to avoid contractual obligations hereunder that would be inconsistent with their obligations under applicable law.
- 2. SEVERABILITY AND CONFLICTS. In the event any provision of this Exhibit is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision herein. This Exhibit is expressly incorporated into the Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Exhibit and the Agreement, the terms of this Exhibit prevail. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Exhibit and the Agreement, on the one hand, and the terms of any framework or data transfer agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Exhibit B, the terms of such framework or data transfer agreement prevail.
- 3. SURVIVAL. The obligations of ICSC under this Exhibit will continue for so long as ICSC continues to have access to, is in possession of or acquires Personal Data, even if the Agreement has expired or has been terminated.

Description of the technical and organisational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(c) and 5(c):
- 1. Purpose: This Appendix sets forth the information security program and infrastructure policies that ICSC will meet and maintain in order to protect Company Personal Data from unauthorized use, access or disclosure, during the Term of the Agreement.
- 2. Information Security Management Program (the “ISMP”): ICSC represents that it will maintain throughout the term of the Agreement a written information security management program designed to protect and secure Company Personal Data from unauthorized access or use. The ISMP will be documented and updated based on changes in applicable legal and regulatory requirements related to privacy and data security practices and industry standards.
- 3. Standards: ICSC incorporates commercially reasonable and appropriate methods and safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and availability of Company Personal Data.
- 4. Information Security Policies: ICSC will implement, maintain, and adhere to its internal information security and privacy policies that address the roles and responsibilities of ICSC’s personnel who have access to Company Personal Data in connection with providing the Services. All ICSC personnel with access to Company Personal Data will receive regular (at least annual) training on the ISMP.
- 5. Information Security Infrastructure:
- a. Access Controls: ICSC will ensure appropriate access controls are in place to protect Company Personal Data. ICSC agrees that it shall maintain, throughout the term of the Agreement and at all times while ICSC has access to or possession of Company Personal Data, appropriate access controls (physical, technical, and administrative) and shall maintain such access controls in accordance with ICSC’s policies and procedures.
- b. Authorized Persons: ICSC will limit access to Company Personal Data solely to ICSC personnel who have a need to access the Company Personal Data in connection with the Services or as otherwise required by applicable law.
- c. Access Justification/Authorization Process: ICSC has a process in place that is designed to ensure that only authorized persons (technical and non-technical) are granted access to Company Personal Data.
- d. Encryption: ICSC will encrypt Company Personal Data which is at rest, should it reside outside of the production security zone. ICSC will use at a minimum AES algorithm for encryption of such Company Personal Data at rest with a default value of 256 bit strength. For Company Personal Data in transit, ICSC agrees to use encryption unless the Company uses a method of transmission which does not support encryption (such as unencrypted FTP, email, etc.).
- e. Network and Host Security: ICSC has commercially reasonable network intrusion detection and firewalls in place. ICSC uses reasonable efforts to ensure that the systems it uses to provide the Services are patched or secured to mitigate the impact of security vulnerabilities within a reasonable time after ICSC has actual or constructive knowledge of any critical or high-risk security vulnerabilities.
- f. Data Management: ICSC will have adequate information security infrastructure controls in place for Company Personal Data obtained, transported, and retained by ICSC. ICSC will destroy, delete, or otherwise make irrecoverable Company Personal Data upon the disposal or repurposing of storage media containing such Company Personal Data. Company Personal Data is logically separated from the content of other ICSC customers.
- g. Physical Security: Physical security safeguards include physical safety and security safeguards at any facilities operated by ICSC or used in the course of providing the Services.
- 6. Disaster Recovery. ICSC implements and maintains disaster recovery capabilities designed to minimize disruption to the Services in accordance with the Service Agreement and the SLA.
