7. If, for any reason, I am unable to fulfill my obligation to make a Presentation at the Program, I will, upon LMA’s request, provide a substitute speaker acceptable to LMA. In addition, I will be responsible for any out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., travel; lodging) that LMA incurs as a result of the cancellation.
    
8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither LMA nor I will be in default hereunder by reason of a delay in performing, or failure to perform, any obligation hereunder if such delay or failure is caused by occurrences or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, acts of God, government orders, war, acts of terrorism, riots, or interference by civil or military authorities. If the Presentation and/or Program are capable of being rescheduled, I will work with LMA to find a mutually agreeable alternative date.

I hereby indemnify and hold harmless LMA, its officers, directors, members, and staff from and against any and all claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and liabilities whatsoever arising out of my breach of any of the representations set forth in this Agreement. I further waive any and all claims I may have against LMA, its directors, officers, members, and staff, and release and discharge them from any claim related to the Program or the manner in which it is conducted, except for any third-party claim arising from a change made by LMA that alters the meaning or accuracy of any statements I make, or information I provide, for the Presentation.
