13.2 Indemnification by RMG.

Promptly after receipt by a RMG Indemnitee or Reseller, as applicable (each, an “Indemnitee”) of notice of actual or threatened commencement of any Claim of which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 13, Indemnitee shall notify the indemnifying party (in such instance, the “Indemnitor”) of such Claim. No delay or failure to so notify Indemnitor shall relieve Indemnitor of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that Indemnitor has suffered material prejudice by such delay or failure. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from the Indemnitee relating to any such Claim, but no later than fifteen (15) days before the date on which any response to a complaint or summons is due, if applicable, Indemnitor shall notify Indemnitee that Indemnitor shall assume control of the defense and settlement of such Claim (a “Notice of Assumption”). If Indemnitor delivers a Notice of Assumption within the required notice period, Indemnitor shall assume control (subject to the Indemnitee’s right to participate at its cost and expense) over the defense and settlement of the Claim and diligently defend the Claim; provided, however, that (i) Indemnitor shall keep Indemnitee fully apprised as to the status of the defense; and (ii) Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written approval of Indemnitee before entering into any settlement of such Claim asserting any liability against Indemnitee, imposing any obligations or restrictions on the Indemnitee, involving any admission on the part of the Indemnitee, ceasing to defend against such Claim or otherwise adversely impacting Indemnitee. If Indemnitor does not deliver a Notice of Assumption within the required notice period, or if, after the assumption of the defense by Indemnitor, Indemnitor fails to defend the Claim diligently to the Indemnitee’s reasonable satisfaction, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend the Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate. Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee, including attorney’s fees, in connection therewith to the full extent of Indemnitor’s indemnification obligation under this Section 13.

RMG will use Reseller’s preferred carrier if Reseller provides RMG with necessary information and instructions. Otherwise, RMG is responsible for delivering the Hardware to its preferred common carrier with RMG’s preferred routing instructions, obtaining all appropriate shipping documents, and assuring that the Hardware has been insured for its replacement cost.

Should Reseller not notify RMG of any damage incurred during shipment of the Hardware within the applicable period, RMG will be relieved of all responsibility and liability with respect to the damaged Hardware, and Reseller will be responsible for any damage claim, repair, or replacement of such damaged Hardware. These terms also apply to any Hardware provided to Reseller in connection with any warranty for Hardware. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement and this Exhibit to the contrary, risk of loss and title thereto is not subject to Reseller’s acceptance of the Hardware.

All Hardware furnished by RMG hereunder shall materially conform to the applicable published RMG specifications as of the time of delivery to Reseller and shall not be subject to any express or implied rights of acceptance or rejection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reseller may inspect Hardware that it receives, and shall promptly, but within five (5) days of delivery of the Hardware, give written notice to the common carrier and RMG of any claims of damages or shortages in respect of such Hardware. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall RMG be responsible for any loss, breakage or damage to Hardware arising after RMG’s delivery of the Products to the common carrier or Reseller.
2. WARRANTIES
A. Limited Warranty. RMG warrants that the supplied Hardware will be materially free from defects and workmanship for a period of one (1) year, commencing on the date of shipment, subject to the following limitations:
- the limited warranty extends only to Customer and is not assignable or transferable to any subsequent purchaser or end user;
- Unless Customer purchases an Extended Warranty Plan with the Advance Shipper option as described below, Customer will bear the cost of shipping the Hardware to the Customer technical support department of RMG.

C. Warranty Remedies. As Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any warranty claim with respect to Hardware, during the warranty period, RMG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund the purchase price of the Hardware of any supplied Hardware that is covered under this limited warranty. RMG will not be required to repair or replace more than the components of the Hardware actually found to be in breach of the limited Hardware warranty provided in this Attachment, and repaired or replaced Hardware will be warranted under this Attachment only for the remaining portion of the original warranty period. RMG may elect, at its sole option, to use functionally equivalent re-conditioned, refurbished, or new units or parts of any units. In addition, RMG will not back-up any data or Content that Customer has added to the Hardware. Where Customer returns any Hardware, and after evaluation, RMG finds no non-conformity to the warranty, RMG may return the Hardware to Customer, and Customer shall pay RMG its standard “no trouble found” (“NTF”) or equivalent fee.
D. Third-Party Hardware. Third-Party Hardware warranty and support is only available from the manufacturer, except under separate agreement. RMG does not provide any services for Third-Party Hardware that is not manufactured by RMG. These products fall under the normal pass-through warranties provided by the manufacturer. RMG will pass through to Customer any applicable Third-Party Hardware warranties from Third-Party Providers that RMG is legally able to transfer.
3. HARDWARE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN
An Extended Warranty Plan which continues the repair or replacement benefit for non-conforming Hardware is available for purchase by Customer through Reseller. The plan must be purchased only at the time, and as part, of the original Hardware purchase for the full term of the applicable plan:
Priced at a percentage of the then-current list price of all Hardware covered, as specified in the current price list, per year, Customer may select the Hardware Extended Warranty Plan for the first three (3) years beginning with the original purchase of RMG Hardware, providing a total of three years’ warranty coverage. With the Extended Warranty plan:

- The terms of Section 2 of this Exhibit A, Warranties shall apply to any Extended Warranty plan, except as expressly excluded or changed by this provision;

- RMG may elect, at its sole option, to use functionally equivalent re-conditioned, refurbished, or new units or parts of any units as replacement units;
- RMG may substitute a functionally equivalent model if the Customer’s model of Hardware is no longer commercially available; and
- RMG retains the right to impose an NTF or equivalent fee for returned Hardware where RMG finds no non-conformity to the warranty.
