(18) INDEMNITY:
(a) The Renter hereby irrevocably indemnifies the Provider, keeps the Provider indemnified and holds the Provider harmless against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, charges, fines, penalties or other costs whatsoever which the Provider or any directors, employees, officers, agents, representatives or contractors of the Provider may incur, directly or indirectly in relation to:

(j) This clause will survive the Termination or expiration of this Agreement.
(20) EVENT OF DEFAULT:
(a) Each of the following events will constitute an event of default ("Event of Default"), and upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, the Renter will be in default of this Agreement:

(H) an application or order is made, proceedings are commenced, a resolution is passed, a resolution is proposed in a notice of meeting, or any other steps ("the Steps") are taken towards the winding up or the dissolution of the Renter or any subsidiary of the Renter, or for the Renter or any subsidiary of the Renter to enter an arrangement, compromise with, or assignment for the benefit of, any or all of its members or creditors, provided that the Steps are not frivolous or vexatious; or
