<br />property), demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments,
<br />fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees,

<br />vendors, suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of
<br />them or for whose acts they may be liable for any or all of them). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
<br />nothing herein shall be construed to require Partner to indemnify the indemnified parties fiom
<br />any claim arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified parties. This
<br />indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are
<br />applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be
<br />provided by the Partner.
