10. INDEMNIFICATION. Client shall indemnify, defend and hold Parnell, its officers, shareholders, directors, employees, agents and affiliates, including but not limited to the Data Partner (each, a “Parnell Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees resulting from or arising out of any claim, suit, action, arbitration or proceeding brought or threatened by a third party against any Parnell Indemnified Party relating to: (a) a breach or alleged breach by Client of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations hereunder, (b) Client’s use, misuse or failure to use the Services, (c) Parnell’s use of the Client Data or provision of the Services, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, or (d) Client’s infringement or misappropriation of any Parnell intellectual property or the intellectual property rights of any third party; provided that, such cost, liability, loss or expense was not caused solely by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Parnell.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.

This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements relating to such subject matter, whether oral or written. This Agreement may only be modified in writing signed by an authorized officer of Parnell.
