HIMSS may, at its sole discretion, reschedule the HIMSS TV interview or make other
accommodations to Company based upon considerations such as the availability of suitable
interviewers and the filming schedule. Should rescheduling be required based upon a no-
show, HIMSS retains the right to charge Company a rescheduling fee in advance of the

associated Fees.

will be in writing and sent to the addresses of the parties as indicated on the Cover Page, or to

n. A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right to enforce this Agreement.
9
o. In the event that HIMSS is unable to perform the Services in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement as a result of any cause or agency over which HIMSS has no control, including
but not limited to, fire, flood, tempest, inclement weather, failure of the event platform or a
related communications failure or as a result of governmental intervention (which includes
but is not limited to travel restrictions imposed by a government entity in the country where
the Event is located), malicious damage, acts of God, war, strike, lock-out, labor dispute, riot,
curtailment of transportation, a pandemic or epidemic, or should HIMSS decide that because
of any such cause that it is necessary to cancel, postpone or changes the platform for the
Event, HIMSS will not be liable to refund, indemnify, or reimburse Company with respect to
any fees paid, or any damage or loss arising as a result thereof, except as specifically set forth
below.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if HIMSS postpones or changes the platform for the Event
as a result of the above, HIMSS will undertake reasonable endeavours to provide similar
benefits to the Company at the rescheduled event (“the Replacement Event”) without further
charge. For an event to be considered a Replacement Event, it must occur within six (6)
months of the original Event, target the same or a similar audience, and feature content which
is substantially the same as the original Event.
p. This Agreement will not create a joint venture or an employment relationship between the
parties. Each party will retain the status of independent contractor and will not have the
authority to bind or represent the other.
q. No amendment of this Agreement will be binding unless in a writing specifically referencing
this Agreement and executed by authorized representatives of both parties. This Agreement,
together with the attached Exhibits, constitutes the final, complete, and exclusive
understanding between the parties with respect to its subject matter and cancels and

oral, with regard thereto. The parties have not relied upon any promises, warranties, or
undertakings other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement.
