otherwise does not have the right to permit others to use such Pediatrix.com
website; (b) depends on an agreement between Pediatrix.com and a third party,
and that agreement is modified or terminated for any reason or breached by the

contrary, in no event will the aggregate liability of Pediatrix.com or its

Licensee’s Website involved in the claim giving rise to such liability, who
become registered users of the Pediatrix.com website during the six (6) months
immediately prior to the date on which the alleged damages were claimed to have

performance by it of this Agreement are within its powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on its part; (c) this Agreement constitutes a

applicability; (d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
it require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body,

constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of it or to a loss of
any benefit to which it is entitled under, any agreement or other instrument
binding upon it or any license, franchise, permit or other similar authorization
held by it.
10. Indemnification. Licensee will indemnify and
hold Pediatrix.com and its officers, directors and employees harmless from and
against any and all damages relating to (a) Licensee’s Website or any other
products or services of Licensee, or the use thereof by third parties, including

rights; (b) any misrepresentation or breach of representation or warranty of
Licensee contained herein; or (c) any breach of any covenant or agreement to be

website from Licensee’s Website and anywhere else that Licensee has included
such link pursuant to this Agreement, and Licensee shall have no further right
to refer to or provide access to the Pediatrix.com
website.
12. General. Nothing will be deemed to limit or
restrict Pediatrix.com from entering into similar agreements with any third
party. Neither party will make or issue any external press statement
regarding the terms of this Agreement unless: (a) it has received the
express written consent of the other party, which will not be unreasonably
withheld; or (b) it is required to do so by law. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject
matter hereof and supercedes any prior understanding or agreement, written or
oral, between the parties with respect to same. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida,
without application of conflicts of laws principles. The parties hereby
irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts located in Broward County, Florida for the purpose of any action or
proceeding brought by either of them in connection with this Agreement.
All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder will be in
writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and will be given
to Licensee at its address set forth on the Link Application and if to
Pediatrix.com, at the address specified on the Pediatrix.com website. This
Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted
assigns. Neither party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its
duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other
party. There is no joint venture, partnership, agency or fiduciary
relationship existing between the parties and the parties do not intend to
create any such relationship by this Agreement. The parties are
independent contractors and have no authority to act on each other’s
behalf. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or superseded, unless
expressly agreed to in writing by both parties. No provision of this
Agreement may be waived except by an instrument in writing executed by the party
against whom the waiver is to be effective. The failure of either party at
any time or times to require full performance of any provision hereof will in no
manner affect the right of such party at a later time to enforce the same. If
any provision or term of this Agreement, not being of a fundamental nature, is
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected.
The provisions of Sections 7-12 of this Agreement will survive the termination
of this Agreement.
