Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any interruption, failure, defect, impairment or inadequacy of the Services is specified in the Service Level Agreement.

2.2. Acceptable Use, Technical Cooperation.

a. Customer is responsible for and assumes all liabilities arising out of or related to Customer Content. Edgio is a mere intermediary (i.e., passive conduit) for transmission of Customer Content and does not exercise editorial or other control over Customer Content. Any use of the Services must comply with the AUP. If Edgio determines in its sole discretion that Customer Content or any use of the Services may compromise the Services, is inappropriate or violates or is inconsistent with the AUP or the rights of others (“Adverse Impact”), Edgio may take such steps as necessary to resolve the Adverse Impact and will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any undue interruption of Services and the foregoing is without prejudice to and shall not preclude or limit any other rights and remedies available to Edgio. For purposes of this Agreement, “Adversely Impact” does not mean an unscheduled increase in End User traffic.

b. For Services to function as intended, Customer should cooperate in good faith with Edgio to configure and enable Services. When Customer elects to send or receive Customer Content using the Services, Customer is solely responsible for modifying its content identifiers, consistent with guidance that Edgio provides, to enable Edgio to deliver the selected Customer Content. This may include changing the alias information in Customer’s DNS record so that hostname addresses of page objects resolve to Edgio’s servers.

To the extent there is any conflict between a SO or SOW, a Service Supplement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the order of precedence is: (a) SO, (b) SOW; (b) Service Supplement (in respect of the Services being provided under that Service Supplement only); and (c) the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. CHARGES AND PAYMENT.

3.1. Taxes. All charges are exclusive of Taxes, which Customer must pay. If Customer provides Edgio with a valid, duly executed tax exemption certificate, Edgio shall exempt Customer from Taxes in accordance with the law, effective on the date Edgio receives the exemption certificate. If Customer disputes the application of any Tax, Customer must give Edgio written notice of the dispute within six months of the date of the invoice. Otherwise, such application of Taxes, as between Edgio and Customer, shall be deemed correct and binding on Customer. If Customer is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment due hereunder to Edgio, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the gross amount payable by Customer to Edgio shall be increased so that, after any such deduction or withholding for taxes, the net amount received by Edgio shall not be less than Edgio would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.

3.2. Payment.

a. Payment is due within 30 days of invoice date. All invoices may be provided to Customer electronically. Customer shall remit payment to Edgio at its principal offices, unless Edgio provides notice to Customer otherwise. All charges shall be invoiced and payable in United States dollars, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing.

b. If an invoice is unpaid within 30 days of the invoice date (i.e., the invoice becomes delinquent), Edgio may, in its sole discretion and effective upon notice to Customer, (i) suspend Services, (ii) apply a late charge on the unpaid amount equal to the lesser of 1.5% interest per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, (iii) require Customer to provide a cash deposit or other security to guarantee payment and/or (iv) pursue any other remedy available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

c.

If Customer does not timely submit a documented dispute notice per this Section, Customer waives all rights to dispute such amounts, including any claim of set-off or reimbursement.

d. If Edgio reasonably deems itself insecure with respect to Customer’s ability to pay (e.g., due to Customer’s withdrawal of credit card authorization for automatic payment), Edgio may, in its sole discretion and effective upon notice to Customer, (i) modify Customer’s payment terms and/or (ii) require Customer to provide a cash deposit or other security to guarantee payment.

If Customer elects to control the defense, the Edgio Indemnitee may fully participate in the defense at its own cost. If Customer, within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of an Edgio Claim, fails to defend the Edgio Indemnitee, the Edgio Indemnitee may defend and compromise or settle the Edgio Claim at Customer’s cost.

Edgio shall indemnify and hold

Customer harmless for damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees finally awarded against Customer for such Customer Claim or amounts agreed upon by Edgio in settlement of such Customer Claim.

b. License, Modification, Replacement and Termination of Infringing Service. If any Service(s) becomes the subject of a Customer Claim under this section, or in Edgio’s opinion is likely to become the subject of such a Customer Claim, then Edgio may, at its sole option, either (i) replace or modify the alleged infringing Service(s) to make it/them non-infringing, while maintaining reasonably equivalent functionality; (ii) procure for Customer the right to continue using the alleged infringing Service(s) pursuant to this Agreement; or (iii) at Edgio’s sole option, terminate this Agreement and any outstanding Order Forms with respect to the allegedly infringing Service on 30 days’ written notice with both parties having no further obligations or liability to the other, other than the respective party’s obligations under this section and Customer’s obligation to pay all charges and fees for the affected Service(s) incurred up to termination.

c. Edgio Indemnification Process.
