9.4 Notice and Opportunity to Defend. If there occurs an event which any
Party asserts is an indemnifiable event, the Party seeking indemnification shall
notify the Party obligated to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party")
promptly. If such event involves (i) any claim or (ii) the commencement of any
action or proceeding by a third person, the Party seeking indemnification will
give such Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim or the commencement of
such action or proceeding. Such notice shall be a condition precedent to any
liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Such Indemnifying Party shall
have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond thereto. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) days period, such
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to compromise or defend, at its own
expense and by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party shall provide reasonably
satisfactory to the Party seeking indemnity, such matter and the Indemnifying

indemnification may continue to pursue such matter, free of any participation by
the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Party seeking
indemnification. In such event, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to the
Party seeking indemnification shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of
the offer of settlement which the Party seeking indemnification refused to
accept plus the costs and expenses of such Party prior to the date the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Party seeking indemnification of the offer of
settlement and (ii) the actual out-of-pocket amount the Party seeking
indemnification is obligated to pay as a result of such Party's continuing to
pursue such an offer. An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to recover from
the Party seeking indemnification any additional expenses incurred by such
Indemnifying Party as a result of the decision of the Party seeking
indemnification to pursue such matter.

Termination of this Agreement. Purchaser, ZiaSun, and AIS shall promptly notify
the responsible party of the existence of any claim, demand or other matter to
which such indemnification obligations would apply, and shall give a reasonable
opportunity to defend the same at their own expense and with counsel of their
own selection; provided, if that party fails to defend the same, Purchaser,
ZiaSun or AIS, as the case may be, shall have the right to contract and defend
the same, and in any event, Purchaser, ZiaSun, or AIS, shall at all times also
have the right fully to participate in the defense of, and to compromise or
settle in good faith the claim or other matter on behalf, for the account and at
the risk of the other parties. If the claim is one that cannot by its nature be
defended solely by ZiaSun, Purchaser, or AIS, then Purchaser, ZiaSun or AIS
shall make available all information and assistance that Purchaser, ZiaSun, or
AIS may reasonably request.
