7.1
Indemnification. The
Parties hereto agree to indemnify and save harmless the other Parties hereto and
including, where applicable, their respective affiliates, directors, officers,
employees and agents (each such party being an “Indemnified Party”) harmless
from and against and agree to be liable for any and all losses, claims, actions,
suits, proceedings, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatever nature or kind,

an Indemnified Party may become subject due to a breach or failure to comply
with an obligation by a Party under the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
25
7.2
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 shall determine that the Indemnified
Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.
7.3
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

the Indemnified Party affected and the payment of all
expenses. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not
relieve any Party hereto of such Party’s obligation of indemnification hereunder

admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without the

affected, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

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:
|
(a)
|
such
counsel has been authorized by the relevant Party
hereto;
|
|
(b)
|
the
relevant Party hereto has not assumed the defense of the action within a
reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the
action;

7.7
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 hereto shall
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 any Party
hereto on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the
relative fault of the Parties and other equitable considerations which may be
relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party hereto
shall 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.
