Exhibitor’s duty to indemnify Diversified hereunder shall not be affected by any contention that Diversified was negligent, and that such negligence was a contributing or proximate cause of any such Damages, unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction in a matter involving third-party liability finds that such Damages resulted from Diversified’s bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
9. In no event shall Exhibitor have any claim for Damages of any kind against Diversified in respect to any Damages, direct or consequential, because of the prevention, postponement or abandonment of the Exhibition, by reason of any of the events referred to in Condition 21, or otherwise if for any reason beyond Diversified’s control the Exhibition facility becomes wholly or partially unavailable for the holding of the Exhibition; and, in such an event, Diversified shall be entitled to retain all sums paid by Exhibitor or such part thereof as are related to services which have already been delivered as of the date of the cancellation of the Exhibition.
