If Aero Surround supplies any goods or services that are subject to export control laws and regulations—including those enacted by the United States, the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the jurisdictions where Aero Surround and the Company are incorporated or operate—the Company shall not, and shall ensure that no other party in its supply chain, directly or indirectly:

3. Indemnification for Non-Compliance

The Company agrees to fully indemnify and hold Aero Surround harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, penalties, costs, fees, and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Aero Surround as a result of any inaccurate, false, or misleading representation or warranty made under Clause 1, or any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Clause 1 (each referred to as a “Compliance Breach”).

4. Remedies for Compliance Breach

In the event of a Compliance Breach, the Company shall be considered to have materially violated this agreement or any other agreement with Aero Surround. Upon written notice, Aero Surround shall have the right to:

5. Non-Exclusivity of Remedies

The rights and remedies granted to Aero Surround under Clause 4 may be exercised simultaneously or in any sequence.
