<P>

<P>
3. The Consultant shall be an independent
contractor and shall have no right or authority to assume or
create any obligations or responsibility, express or
implied, on behalf of or in the name of the Company, unless
specifically authorized in writing by the Company. No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to preclude
the Consultant from pursuing other projects.
<P>
4. The Consultant (including any person or entity
acting for or on behalf of the Consultant) shall not be
liable for any mistakes of fact or errors of judgment for
losses sustained by the Company or any subsidiary or for any

<P>
5. The Company and its present and future
subsidiaries jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the Consultant against any loss, claim, damage
or liability whatsoever, (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses), to which such Indemnified Party may
become subject as a result of performing any act (or
omitting to perform any act) contemplated to be performed by
the Consultant pursuant to this Agreement if such act or
omission did not violate the provisions of Section 4 of this
Agreement. So long as the Company has not provided counsel
to the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries agree to
reimburse the defense of any action or investigation
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses), subject

the Company or its subsidiaries if it is ultimately
determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to
such indemnity. In case any action, suit or proceeding
shall be brought or threatened, in writing, against any
Indemnified Party, it shall notify the Company within twenty
(20) days after the Indemnified Party receives notice of
such action, suit or such threat. The Company shall have
the right to appoint the Company's counsel to defend such
action, suit or proceeding, provided that such Indemnified
Party consents to such representation by such counsel, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event
any counsel appointed by the Company shall not be acceptable
to such Indemnified Party, then the Company shall have the
right to appoint alternative counsel for such Indemnified
Party reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, until
such time as acceptable counsel can be appointed. In any
event, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, be
entitled to appoint counsel to appear and participate as
co-counsel in the defense thereof. The Indemnified Party,
or its co-counsel, shall promptly supply the Company's
counsel with copies of all documents, pleadings and notices
which are filed, served or submitted in any of the
aforementioned. No indemnified Party shall enter into any
settlement without the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld.

and the Consultant and their successors and assigns.
