P. 535

Supplier terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section, then Supplier’s sole and complete obligation is to deliver all
            conforming, merchantable Products ordered prior to the effective date of the termination. This Section applies only to defaults
            by the Co-op; Supplier has no right to terminate this Agreement if a Selected Buyer defaults in its obligations to Supplier.

             Section 22 -  Indemnification.
            Indemnification.  Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Co-op, its Selected Buyers, the Servicers, and
            each  of  their  respective  franchisees,  officers,  directors,  licensees,  consignees,  agents,  employees,  representatives,
            successors and assigns, parents and subsidiaries, , and anyone else as required by the prime agreement between the Co-op
            and  the  Servicers,  (collectively,  the  "Indemnified  Parties"),  from  and  against  all  actions,  claims,  suits,  losses,  damages,
            obligations, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind, which may directly or indirectly arise
            from, be caused by, or be connected with (a) any breach of express or implied warranty, (b) any accident, occurrence, or
            injury to persons or property which may occur before or after acceptance of the Products which arises from, is caused by, or
            is  directly  or  indirectly  connected  with  the  preparation,  processing,  manufacture,  completion,  delivery,  operation,
            consumption, or use of the Products; (c) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Supplier contained in this Agreement;
            (d) any claim, damage, or loss attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death, or destruction or injury to tangible
            property; (e) Supplier’s violation of any law, statute, code, or regulation applicable to this Agreement, including Title 21 of the
            Code of Federal Regulations; or (f) infringement, or alleged infringement, of any patent, trademark, or copyright resulting
            from the purchase, use, or sale of the Products. Such defense and indemnity includes any claim that an Indemnified Party is
            liable for damage, injury, loss, cost, or expense resulting from Indemnified Party’s design, approval, or use of the Products
            (including any cost or expense relating to warranties or other claims relating to Products purchased by the Co-op or any
            Selected  Buyer).  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Supplier  does  not  agree  to  defend,  indemnify,  or  hold  harmless  any
            Indemnified Party for any claim, suit, loss, damage, liability, or expense to the extent arising from such Indemnified Party’s
            negligence  or  willful  misconduct  in  the  operation,  consumption,  use,  or  sale  (but  not  the  acceptance  or  approval)  of  the
            Products.  If  Supplier  fails  to  promptly  assume  or,  at  any  time,  to  vigorously  defend  any  action,  claim,  suit  or  proceeding
            relating to the foregoing indemnities, then the Indemnified Party or other affected parties as appropriate, and their respective
            successors and assigns, may, defend the action in the manner it or they deem appropriate, and Supplier shall pay to the
            Indemnified Party any amount incurred, which includes, for this Agreement’s purpose, any settlement incurred or agreed to
            by  the  Indemnified  Party  and  all  reasonably  legal  fees  and  costs  incurred.  This  Section  survives  this  Agreement’s
            termination.

             Section 23 -  Right of Setoff.
            Right  of  Setoff.  The  Co-op  may  setoff  any  amounts  which  Supplier  owes  to  the  Co-op  under  this  Agreement  from  any
            amounts which the Co-op otherwise owes to Supplier under this Agreement. Supplier may setoff any amounts which the Co-
            op owes to Supplier under this Agreement from any amounts which Supplier owes the Co-op under this Agreement. Any
            Selected Buyers may set off any amounts which Supplier owes the Selected Buyer under this Agreement from any amounts
            which the Selected Buyer otherwise owes to Supplier under this Agreement. Supplier may set off any amounts which the
            Selected Buyer owes the Supplier under this Agreement from any amounts which Supplier otherwise owes to the Selected
            Buyer under this Agreement.

             Section 24 -  Alternative Dispute Resolution.
                a.  Mediation. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve by mediation any claim, dispute, or controversy arising
                    out of or relating to this Agreement. Either party may institute a mediation proceeding by a request in writing to the
                    other party. After such request, both parties shall engage in mediation. Mediation will be conducted in the Kansas
                    City, Missouri metropolitan area in accordance with the then current Center of Public Resources Model Procedure
                    for Mediation of Business Disputes.


               b. Arbitration. If the parties are unsuccessful in resolving a dispute via mediation, then the parties shall promptly resolve any
            such claims, disputes, and/ or controversies through binding confidential arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted in the
            Kansas City, Missouri metropolitan area in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
            Arbitration Association; One neutral arbitrator will be chosen in accordance with such rules to arbitrate the dispute. The
            parties irrevocably consent to such jurisdiction for purposes of said arbitration, and judgment on the arbitration may be
            entered in any state or federal court in the same manner as if the parties were residents of the state or federal district in
            which said judgment is sought to be entered.

               c. All applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time will be tolled while the       requirements
            of this Section are being followed.

               d. Nothing in this Section bars any parties’ rights to seek and obtain temporary injunctive relief from a court of competent
            jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law against threatened conduct that will cause loss or damage, pending initiation
            and/ or completion of the arbitration
