- Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY
DAMAGES THAT YOU MAY INCUR FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL DAMAGES
REFERENCED HEREIN, AND ALL DIRECT OR GENERAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF CONTRACT, NEGLIENCE, OR ANY
OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF CSI AND ANY OF ITS LICENSORS UNDER ANY
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY HEREUNDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES PAID BY
SUBSCRIBER TO CSI IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT WHICH CAUSED DAMAGES. TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CSI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT

DISCLAIMER OR OTHER PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS HELD TO BE INVALID FOR ANY REASON BY A

connection with or as a result of any claim that arises from any breach of this Agreement by Subscriber. CSI
will provide Subscriber with prompt written notice of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding to which
the foregoing indemnity relates, and CSI will have the right to participate in the defense thereof at CSI's
expense.

domestic laws of the state of Tennessee, excluding any choice of law rules. Unless the parties agree in

effective unless in writing and signed by the Party to be charged. The failure of CSI to enforce at any
time the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way constitute a present or future waiver of such

thereafter.

Agreement, the license granted hereunder, or any rights in and to any of the foregoing, directly or
indirectly. Any attempt by Subscriber to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in

Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or it shall forever be
barred, notwithstanding any statute of limitations or other law to the contrary. Within this period, any
