This indemnity will not apply in respect of the Consultant in the event and to the extent that a Court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment will determine that the Consultant was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

6.2 Insurance. During the continuance of this Agreement it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Company will use its best efforts to seek and obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “Insurance”) for its Board of Directors and Senior Officers which in no case will be less than the insurance which a reasonable and prudent businessman carrying on a similar line of business would acquire from time to time. In connection with the foregoing it is hereby further acknowledged and agreed that any such Insurance will be placed with a reputable and financially secure insurance carrier and will include the Company as an additional insured and will provide primary coverage with respect to the activities contemplated by this Agreement. Furthermore, it is also intended that any such Insurance policy(ies) will include severability of interest and cross-liability provisions and will provide that the policy(ies) will not be canceled or materially altered except upon at least 30 calendar days’ prior written notice to each of the relevant parties thereto.

6.3 No Indemnification. This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a Court of competent Jurisdiction in a final judgment will determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

6.4 Claim of Indemnification. The Parties hereto agree to waive any right they might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy, security or claim payment from any other person before claiming this indemnity.

6.5 Notice of Claim. In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against either of the Parties hereto, the Indemnified Party will give both Parties hereto prompt written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the relevant Party will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the relevant Party and the payment of all expenses. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify will not relieve the relevant Party of such relevant Party’s obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by the relevant Party of substantive rights or defenses.

6.6 Settlement. No admission of liability and no settlement of any action will be made without the consent of each of the Parties hereto and the consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonable withheld.

6.7 Legal Proceedings. Notwithstanding that the relevant Party will undertake the investigation and defense of any action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:

	(b)	the relevant Party has not assumed the defense of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the action;
	(c)	the named parties to any such action include that any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party will have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party; or
	(d)	there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to any Party hereto.

6.8 Contribution. If for any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the relevant Party will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the relevant Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of relevant Party and the Indemnified Party and other equitable considerations which may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party will in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.
