Zion shall have no liability for damages or loss resulting from gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Contractor; and further provided that if any such loss
or damage to the hole is caused by Contractor's sole gross negligence or willful
misconduct, Contractor shall be obligated to redrill the hole to the depth at
which the original hole was lost at rates that are 50% of Contractor's
applicable price list at such time (as sole compensation to Zion).

14.6 Underground Damage. Zion shall release Contractor of any liability for and
agrees to defend and indemnify Contractor for any and all claims against

thereof or the negligence of any party or parties, arising in connection
herewith in favor of Contractor's employees or Contractor's subcontractors or
their employees, or Contractor's invitees, on account of bodily injury, death or
damage to property (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, property of Metzada). If
it is judicially determined that the monetary limits of insurance required

14.8 (which Contractor and Zion hereby agree will be supported either by
available liability insurance, under which the insurer has no right of
subrogation against the indemnitees, or voluntarily self-insured, in part or

causes thereof or the negligence of any party or parties, arising in connection
herewith in favor of Zion's employees or Zion's contractors or their employees,
or Zion's invitees, other than those parties identified in Section 14.8 on
account of bodily injury, death or damage to property. If it is judicially
determined that the monetary limits of insurance required hereunder or of the
indemnities voluntarily and mutually assumed under Section 14.9 (which
Contractor and Zion hereby agree will be supported either by available liability
insurance, under which the insurer has no right of subrogation against the
indemnitee, or voluntarily self insured, in part or whole) exceed the maximum
limits permitted under applicable law, it is agreed that said insurance
requirements or indemnities shall automatically be amended to conform to the
maximum monetary limits permitted under such law.

14.10 Liability for Wild Well. Zion shall be liable for the cost of regaining
control of any wild well, as well as for cost of damage to equipment of
Contractor and removal of any debris, and shall indemnify Contractor in this
regard.

contained herein, except the provisions of Sections 10, 11 and 12, it is
understood and agreed by and between Contractor and Zion that the responsibility
for pollution and contamination shall be as follows:

(a) Contractor shall assume all responsibility for, including control and
removal of, and protect, defend and save harmless Zion from and against all
claims, demands and causes of action of every kind and character arising from
pollution or contamination, which originates above the surface of the land or
water from spills of fuels, lubricants, motor oils, normal water base drilling
fluid, pipe dope, paints, solvents, ballast, bilge and garbage, except
unavoidable pollution from reserve pits, wholly in Contractor's possession and
control and directly associated with Contractor's equipment and facilities.

(b) Zion shall assume all responsibility for, including control and removal of,
and protect, defend, indemnify and save Contractor harmless from and against all
claims, demands, and causes of action of every kind and character arising
directly or indirectly from all other pollution or contamination which may occur
during the conduct of operations hereunder, including but not limited to, that
which may result from fire, blowout, cratering, seepage or any other
uncontrolled flow of oil, gas, water or other substance, as well as, the use or
disposition of oil emulsion, oil base or chemically treated drilling fluids,
contaminated cutting or cavings, lost circulation and fish recovery materials
and fluids.

(c) In the event a third party commits an act or omission which results in
pollution or contamination for which either Contractor or Zion, for whom such
party is performing work, is held to be legally liable, the responsibility
therefore shall be considered, as between Contractor and Zion, to be the same as
if the party for whom the work was performed had performed the same and all of
the obligations respecting defense, indemnity, holding harmless and limitation
of responsibility and liability, as set forth in (a) and (b) above, shall be
specifically applied.

14.12 Consequential Damages. Neither party shall be liable to the other for
special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from or arising out of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, loss of profit or business
interruptions, however same may be caused.

limitation, Sections 14.1 through 14.12 hereof, be without limit and without
regard to the cause or causes thereof (including pre-existing conditions),
strict liability, or the negligence of any party or parties, whether such
negligence be sole, joint or concurrent, active or passive. The terms and
provisions of Sections 14.1 through 14.12 shall have no application to claims or
causes of action asserted against Zion or Contractor by reason of any agreement
of indemnity with a person or entity not a party hereto.

15. Audits. If any payment provided for hereunder is made on the basis of
Contractor's costs, Zion shall have right to audit Contractor's books and
records relating to such costs. Contractor agrees to maintain such books and
records for a period of two (2) years from the date such costs were incurred and
to make such books and records available to Zion at any reasonable time or times
within the period.

16. No Waiver Except in Writing. It is fully understood and agreed that none of
the requirements of this Agreement shall be considered as waived by either party

any delays or damage or any failure to act due, occasioned or caused by reason
of any laws, rules, regulations or orders promulgated by any State or Local
governmental body or the rules, regulations, or orders of any public body or
official purporting to exercise authority or control respecting the operations
covered hereby, including the procurance or use of tools and equipment, or due,
occasioned or caused by strikes, action of the elements, water conditions,
inability to obtain fuel or other critical materials, or other causes beyond the
control of the party affected thereby. In the event that either party hereto is
rendered unable, wholly or in part, by any of these causes to carry out its
obligation under this Agreement, it is agreed that such party shall give notice
and details of Force Majeure in writing to the other party as promptly as
possible after its occurrence. In such cases, the obligations of the party
giving the notice shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so
caused and, except in the case of strikes of Contractor's personnel, the Force
Majeure Rate provided for in Paragraph 7.8 above shall apply.

18. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute arising under this Agreement which cannot be
resolved following good faith attempts by the parties shall be submitted to
binding arbitration before a single arbitrator to be agreed by the parties;
failing such agreement within 14 days from the date on which an affected party
first requests arbitration - the arbitrator will be appointed by the President
of the Israel Bar Association. The arbitrator will be bound by Israeli
substantive law, except with respect to matters of good oil field practices and
other matters relating to oil and gas operations, in which case the laws of

parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto, including without limitation,
the MoU.

consent of the other, and prompt notice of any such intent to assign shall be
given to the other party. In the event of such assignment, the assigning party
shall remain liable to the other party as a guarantor of the performance by the
assignee of the terms of this Agreement..
