The above shall be collectively, the “Indemnitees”, and shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense (including attorneys` fees) arising out of or in connection with (i) the Materials provided by Supplier hereunder and/or the use thereof, including, without limitation, any defect or malfunction in the Materials, (ii) any act or omission of Supplier and/or any of its employees, agents or subcontractors in providing the Materials to Vendee or otherwise, (iii) the breach by Supplier of any representation, obligation or term set forth herein, or (iv) any infringement by Supplier or the Materials of any patent, copyright, trademark, proprietary or other rights of any of the Indemnitees or any third parties.

No payment made by Vendee shall be construed to be an acceptance of defective work or improper Materials or construed as an admission by Vendee that Vendor has performed, in whole or in part. Invoices for partial payment shall not be accepted until the full order has been delivered.

12.  In addition to, and without limiting Vendee’s termination rights hereunder or any other rights Vendee might have, Vendee has the right to (i) terminate this Purchase Order, in whole or in part, at any time effective upon Vendor’s receipt of written notice thereof, and/or (ii) in the event of Vendor’s default or potential inability to perform this Purchase Order, to demand that Vendor deliver to Vendee the raw materials and work in process acquired by Vendor in order to perform under this Purchase Order, and to complete the work and deduct the cost of such completion from the price, or, in the alternative, solely to pay to Vendor the cost of such raw materials and work in process. In the event of termination other than in connection with a breach, Vendor may claim only reasonable, properly supported out-of-pocket costs actually incurred prior to receipt of written notice of termination, plus a reasonable amount for the work already satisfactorily performed; provided, however, that in no event shall the total payments made to Vendor by Vendee pursuant to the foregoing, together with any payments previously remitted by Vendee to Vendor hereunder, exceed the amount stated as payable in the Purchase Order prior to termination.  For specially prepared Materials unique to Vendee’s order, any partially completed work or raw materials whose full costs are included in the termination charges shall be identified in writing and held by Vendor for disposition in accordance with Vendee’s written instruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vendee reserves the right to cancel all or any part of the undelivered portion of this Purchase Order, without liability, in addition to Vendee’s other rights and remedies, if Vendor breaches any of the terms and conditions herein.

13.  All Materials provided by Vendor to Vendee and all results thereof and any show or event of Vendee in which such Materials are to be utilized and all elements thereof shall belong exclusively to Vendee and shall, to the greatest extent possible, be considered “works-made-for-hire” within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act.

Vendor shall execute all additional documents proposed by Vendee to effectuate and confirm Vendee’s sole and exclusive ownership of the Materials, including, without limitation, all copyrights, at any time, and Vendor hereby irrevocably appoints Vendee as its attorney-in-fact to execute all documents solely necessary to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph. Vendee and/or its licensees, successors and assigns shall be considered, forever and for all purposes throughout the universe, the author of the Materials and the sole copyright owner thereof, and the owner of any rights therein, whether or not copyrightable, all proceeds derived therefrom. For the purposes of this paragraph only, the defined term “Materials” shall not include any products, items, property (including intellectual property) or other material that Vendee has provided to Vendor.

14.  Vendor shall not negatively affect the union jurisdiction of any union members employed or engaged by Vendee or any of its affiliates, including but not limited to any such jurisdiction in the operation of any venue or location owned or operated by Vendee or an affiliate.

17.  Vendor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status or other criteria prohibited by the laws of the United States and the State and City or County where the work is being performed.  Vendor shall take all necessary steps to assure that none of its employees or any other person providing services pursuant to this Purchase Order engages in harassment or intimidation, including sexual, racial or ethnic harassment or intimidation, of anyone on the premises.  If such conduct occurs, Vendor shall take all necessary steps to stop it and prevent its future occurrence, including, but not limited to, the immediate dismissal or transfer of personnel.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this this Purchase Order, no party undertakes to perform any obligation of the other party, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for the management of the other party’s business.

A waiver by either party hereto of any provision of this Purchase Order must be in writing and signed (including by electronic signature) by both parties and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision, or any other provision, as to any future instance or occurrence.
