11.Indemnification. ISO agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, managers, members, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, lawsuits, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses of whatever kind, including attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of or related to any claim alleging: (a) breach or non-fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement by ISO or an ISO Party; (b) any negligent or more culpable act or omission of ISO or ISO Party (including any reckless or willful misconduct) in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or (c) any failure by ISO or ISO Party to comply with any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or codes in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. 227, et seq.

ISO shall give prompt written notice to Indemnified Party of any proposed settlement of a claim that is indemnifiable under this Section 11. ISO may not, without Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment regarding which indemnification is being sought hereunder. ISO’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties hereunder shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Each Indemnified Party may select its own legal counsel to represent its interests.
12.Setoff. In addition to any right of setoff described above, ISO agrees that the Company and its Affiliates may deduct from any funds that it may hold or owe to ISO, and apply such funds to reduce the balance of any amounts due to the Company from ISO under this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties.
13.Remedies. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a breach of this Agreement by ISO or any ISO Party, the Company shall be entitled to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction to restrain such breach, without the need for bond. Company shall have no obligation to make any further compensation or other payment to ISO that might otherwise come due after such breach, including compensation on renewals of Seller Agreements referred by ISO, if ISO does not cure the breach within 10 calendar days after notice thereof, which notice may be delivered electronically. Any remedies hereunder shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Company in law or in equity.
14.Assignment; Successors; Amendments. ISO may not assign any right or obligation under this agreement to any third party without prior written consent of Company, including an assignment by virtue of a sale of ISO’s business. Company or its Affiliates may assign its rights and obligations hereunder with notice to ISO. This Agreement shall inure to the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement may be amended by written agreement executed by both parties hereto; provided, however, that Company may amend this Agreement, and any Compensation Schedule, by a separate writing which is delivered to ISO (which may be delivered electronically) by the Company. ISO’s submission of a Seller application to the Company on or after delivery of an amendment shall constitute ISO’s acceptance of, and agreement to, such amendment.
