Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the Schedule thereto, the Principal hereby indemnifies the GSA from and against all action, claims, losses, proceeding, costs, damages, charges and expenses which the GSA may sustain, incur or pay by reason of any service rendered by the GSA under the terms of this Agreement unless caused by misconduct or breach of duty on the part of the GSA or any of its employees or agents.
Where a loss falls to be borne by the Principal in consequence of this indemnity, the Principal shall arrange for its underwriters or insurers to renounce their rights of recourse against the GSA, except in cases where the loss has been caused by misconduct or breach of duty on the part of the GSA or any of its employees or agents.
