The Recipient shall ensure that any such third party or employee is bound by written confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those contained in this EULA.

In no event shall Sefton be liable for any such delays or prohibition. In performing its activities hereunder, End User shall also comply with, and take the necessary steps to ensure that Sefton is in compliance with (i) the laws and regulations of other applicable countries which prohibit export or diversion of certain technical products to certain countries and individuals and any other applicable law, and (ii) the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Anti-Boycott Regulations.

(f) End User Indemnity. End User shall defend, indemnify and hold Sefton, its officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers (all such persons and entities being collectively referred to as the "Sefton Indemnitees"), harmless from and against any claim, action, suit, damages, liabilities, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by any Sefton Indemnitee arising from or relating to End User's breach of any of the provisions of this EULA. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall not apply to the extent, if any, such claims directly and solely result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Sefton Indemnitee.

(g) Assignment. End User may not assign this EULA or delegate any or all of its obligations hereunder to any third party without the prior written consent of Sefton, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Sefton may freely assign this EULA, or delegate any of all of its obligations hereunder to any third party, provided that any such third party agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this EULA. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 8(g) shall be void and without effect.

Except for the obligation to pay money, non-performance by either Party shall be excused solely to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, electric or other power outages, telecommunications failures, governmental act or orders or restrictions, failure of suppliers, or any other reasons where failure to perform is beyond the control and not caused by the negligence or default of the non-performing Party.

(k) Notice.

(m) Waiver. Any waiver of compliance with any obligation, covenant, EULA, provision or condition of this EULA or consent pursuant to this EULA shall not be effective unless evidenced by an instrument in writing executed by the Party to be charged. Any waiver of compliance with any such obligation, covenant, EULA, provision or condition of this EULA shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other non-compliance.

(n) Audit Rights. During the term of this EULA, and for one (1) year thereafter, End User shall maintain complete and accurate records regarding the activities it performs and transactions it enters into with third parties in connection with this EULA. Upon reasonable advance notice to End User, Sefton, or an independent auditor reasonably acceptable to End User, may inspect such records during End User's normal business hours in order to confirm End User's compliance with the terms of this EULA.

(o) Severability. If any term of this EULA is held to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such court may substitute the unenforceable term with an enforceable provision which most nearly affects the Parties' intent in entering into this EULA as reflected in the unenforceable provision. If the foregoing is not possible under applicable law, then the unenforceable provision shall be deleted and the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this EULA shall not be affected.
