Background The Indemnitor prints and delivers the Indemnitee's event materials and will handle the Indemnitee's customer lists for that work The Indemnitee is willing to rely on the Indemnitor only if the Indemnitor gives the promises in this agreement. The Indemnitor gives them in return for the benefit it receives from the matter described in section 2, and the parties agree that this is fair value for both. ## 2. The matter covered This agreement covers the printing, storage and delivery of the Indemnitee's brochures and event signs under the services agreement dated 1 March 2027 (the "Matter"). ## 3. Definitions - "Claim" means any demand, claim, action, proceeding, investigation or complaint, made or threatened by a person who is not a party, or by a public authority, that falls within section 4. - "Losses" means the money the Indemnitee must pay or loses, including damages, settlements agreed under section 8, fines and penalties to the extent the law allows them to be passed on, interest, and the reasonable costs of investigating and defending a Claim, including reasonable fees of lawyers and experts. - "Related Persons" means the Indemnitee's directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliated companies. ## 4.

What is not covered The Indemnitor is not responsible under this agreement for Losses to the extent that they: - are caused by the Indemnitee's own fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of law, or by that of its Related Persons; - are caused by the Indemnitee's breach of this agreement or of another agreement between the parties; - are caused by instructions, materials or information that the Indemnitor received from the Indemnitee and used as it was told to; - are a result of a settlement or admission made by the Indemnitee without the Indemnitor's consent, in breach of section 8; - are a loss of profit, loss of business or other indirect or remote loss, unless it is paid to a third party under a Claim; - the Indemnitee has recovered from an insurer or from another person, as set out in section 9; or - cannot be covered by an indemnity under the law that applies. - losses caused by artwork that the Indemnitee supplied and approved ## 6. Limit Limit on the indemnity GBP 500,000 Costs of defending a Claim that the Indemnitor has taken over under section 8 are counted towards that limit only if the parties agree in writing.

Notice of a Claim 7.1 The Indemnitee will tell the Indemnitor in writing of a Claim, and give the details it has, within 14 days after it learns of it. 7.2 A delay in giving notice does not end the Indemnitor's duties, but the Indemnitor is not responsible for any extra Loss that the delay causes. 7.3 The Indemnitee will give the Indemnitor the documents and information about the Claim that the Indemnitor reasonably asks for, and will keep them safe. ## 8. Conduct of Claims 8.1 The Indemnitor may take over the defence of a Claim, with lawyers of its choice who are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, if it tells the Indemnitee in writing within 21 days after notice that it will pay the Losses from that Claim. The Indemnitor will then run the Claim promptly and in good faith, at its own cost. 8.2 The Indemnitee may take part in the defence with its own lawyers at its own cost, unless there is a conflict of interest between the parties, in which case the Indemnitor will pay the reasonable cost of the Indemnitee's own lawyers. 8.3 The Indemnitor may not settle a Claim in a way that admits fault for the Indemnitee, limits what the Indemnitee may do or does not fully release it, without the Indemnitee's written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld. 8.4 If the Indemnitor does not take over the defence in time, or does not run it with care, the Indemnitee may defend and settle the Claim in a reasonable way, after telling the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor will pay the Losses. 8.5 Each party will cooperate with the other in a Claim and will not do anything that makes it worse. ## 9. Reducing and recovering Losses 9.1 The Indemnitee will take reasonable steps to limit its Losses. 9.2 If the Indemnitee recovers money from an insurer or from any other person for a Loss that the Indemnitor has already paid, it will repay the Indemnitor the lesser of what it recovered, after its reasonable costs of recovery, and what the Indemnitor paid. 9.3 After paying a Loss in full, the Indemnitor takes over the Indemnitee's rights against others for that Loss, and the Indemnitee will give reasonable help to use them. ## 10.
