or subcontractors are servants, agents or employees of Buyer. In all cases where Sellers employees (defined to include Sellers
and its subcontractors, direct, borrowed, special, or statutory employees) are covered by the Louisiana Workers Compensation
Act. La. R.S. 23:102 et seg., Seller and Buyer agreed that all Training Courses provided by Seller and Sellers employees pursuant
to this Agreement are an integral part of and are essential to the ability of Buyer to generate Buyers goods, products, and services
for the purpose of La. R.S. 23:106(A) (1). Furthermore, Seller and Buyer agree that Buyer is the statutory employer of all of Sellers
employees for the purpose of La. R.S. 23:1061(A) (3).
15. EXPORT COMPLIANCE
In connection with the administration and receipt of the Training Courses and training materials, Buyer and Seller shall comply
with applicable U.S. and local laws and regulations related to export controls and economic sanctions, including without
limitation the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and those regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Departments
Office of Foreign Assets Control. Seller reserves the right to withhold or modify the Training Courses and training materials in
such manner as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion to ensure compliance with applicable law, including without limitation
editing or limiting the distribution of training materials, declining to provide the Training Courses to particular entities or in
particular locations, or excluding Training Courses participants. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in providing such information
as reasonably required by Seller to make such compliance determinations. Buyer understands that its failure to provide such
information may affect Sellers compliance determination and result in the modification or withholding of training. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, neither Seller nor Buyer shall take (or be required to take) or refrain from taking
any action that is prohibited or penalized under applicable U.S. or local law.
16. DEFAULT
In the event that either party fails to perform any material provision of these Terms and Conditions, or breaches any material
term hereof, or becomes insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or is adjudicated bankrupt or suffers
a receiver to be appointed to its business, or makes a material liquidation of its assets, or ceases to do business or to exist, the
non-defaulting party has the right, after following the steps in paragraph below, to terminate these Terms and Conditions.
In the event of a default as set forth above, the non-defaulting party shall give ten (10) days notice to the defaulting party
specifying the nature of the default. If the defaulting party has not commenced to cure the default after seven (7) days, the other
party may immediately terminate the agreement, and the defaulting party is bound to reimburse the non-defaulting party for any
direct loss or damage sustained there from; provided however, that the Buyer shall only have five (5) days to cure any failure to
timely pay any amounts due hereunder.
In the event the defaulting party is the Buyer, Seller will have the right to retain the Initial Preparation Fee and further be
reimbursed by Buyer for any additional costs incurred at that point of time.
17. GENERAL
Failure of Buyer or Seller to enforce any of the terms and conditions herein shall not prevent a subsequent enforcement of such
terms and conditions or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. Should any provisions of these Terms and Conditions,
or portion thereof, be unenforceable or in conflict with governing country, state, province, or local laws, then the validity of the
remaining provisions, and portions thereof, shall not be affected by such unenforceability or conflict. Buyer acknowledges that
it has not relied on any representations other than those contained in these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions
shall only be amended by an agreement executed by an authorized representative of each party.
