L'obligation d'indemnisation doit demeurer non-exempte.

: Sorry, but that's a contre-sens. "shall stand discharged" = "will be discharged" = 'no longer any need to compensate'; there is no 'demeurer' nor 'non exempte' in the source text.

l'obligation d'indemnisation en sera acquittée
But I actually think it would be better re-phrased entirely in FR, perhaps using a noun expression, something like '... vaudra acquittement de l'obligation...'

: On parle d'une "commission", ce qui, par définition, est le paiement reçu en rétribution/rémunération de services rendus. L'indemnisation est une forme de compensation (d'un inconvénient et plus généralement, d'un dommage)

I think the context is sufficiently restricted that we can't be SURE of that, though I do entirely take your point.

l'obligation rémunératoire est [tenue pour] acquittée
L’obligation rémunératoire de la Société est [tenue pour] acquittée dès paiement de la commission au partenaire technique, à moins que la Société n’en convienne autrement par écrit.
Mais on pourrait traduire aussi :
L’obligation de la Société à l’égard de la rémunération du partenaire technique est [tenue pour] acquittée dès paiement de la commission, à moins que…
Rémunératoire, adj. a) Dr. Qui sert à rémunérer des services rendus. b) Relatif aux rémunérations (v. rémunération A 1).

le secteur des vacances annuelles des travailleurs salariés serait à ranger, au titre des obligations rémunératoires…

Discussion
Even though you say that "The other clauses do not relate to this particular clause.", it would certainly help us to know a little more about what kind of partnership this is, and between what kind of parties?
In particular, it would also help to know what kind of 'compensation' this is — as Jacqueline has highlighted, the EN term is potentially ambiguous, and it would probably have quite an influence on the overall translation, depending on which of the 2 possible meanings it has here.
