35.7 General Indemnity

A. Supplier’s Indemnity

(1) At Supplier’s expense and as described herein, Supplier agrees to defend and indemnify (as set forth in (2) below) Gap, its Affiliates, and its subcontractors (and their respective directors, officers, agents, and employees) from and against any third party claims, actions, or proceedings (and liability, damages, costs, or expenses arising under such third party claims, actions, or proceedings) arising out of, or in connection with, any alleged act or failure to act by Supplier or its directors, officers, agents, or employees which has caused, or which is alleged to have caused (including, without limitation, negligent or willful misconduct): (i) any injury to any person or persons or damage or loss to tangible property, (ii) a breach the provisions of Sections 36.3 (Non-Disclosure and Non-Use), 36.4 (Treatment of Gap Data), 36.6 (Return of Proprietary or Confidential Information), 36.7 (Solicitation of Gap Customers) and 36.9 (Residual Knowledge) relating to Supplier’s use of confidential information owned or controlled by Gap, or (iii) Supplier’s breach of a Supplier Regulatory Requirement set forth in Section 29.11 (Compliance with Laws) ((i), (ii), and (iii) above are individually each, and collectively all, referred to for purposes of this Section 35.7A (Supplier’s Indemnity) as “Supplier Third Party Claim(s)”). For avoidance of doubt, if a Gap employee suffers personal injury because of Supplier and brings a claim in his or her individual capacity, then such claims shall be deemed a third party claim.

(2) Supplier shall pay all amounts that a court finally awards to a third party or that Supplier agrees to in settlement with a third party of any such Supplier Third Party Claim(s), as well as any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation arising from such Supplier Third Party Claim(s) incurred by Gap or any other party indemnified under this Section 35.7A (Supplier’s Indemnity) associated with such Supplier Third Party Claim and incurred prior to Supplier’s assumption of the defense against any Supplier Third Party Claim. After Supplier assumes the defense against any Supplier Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section, Supplier shall not be responsible for the payment of expenses or charges incurred by Gap in connection with such Supplier Third Party Claim, except:

(a) to the extent Supplier pre-approves any such charge or expense after Supplier assumes control of the defense of such Supplier Third Party Claim, provided such approval by Supplier is not to be unreasonably withheld; or

(b) charges or expenses incurred by Gap in connection with the cooperation by any Gap employee with Supplier’s defense to the extent such cooperation materially disrupts or interferes with the performance of such employee’s job, in which case Supplier shall reimburse Gap for the employee’s actual expenses and time at a rate to be agreed to by the Parties in advance.

(3) Supplier’s obligation to defend and indemnify Gap, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to Gap having given Supplier prompt written notice of the claim or of the commencement of the related action, as the case may be, and information and reasonable assistance, at Supplier’s expense, for the defense or settlement thereof. Supplier shall have sole control of the defense and settlement of such claim or related action, provided that Supplier shall not settle such claim or related action in a manner which imposes any obligation on Gap without the prior written consent of Gap. Gap shall be entitled to engage counsel at its sole expense to consult with Supplier with respect to the defense of the claim and related action.
