any claim,  issue or matter as to which the Company  shall have been adjudged to
be liable for gross  negligence or willful  misconduct  in  connection  with the
performance of the  Consultant's  duties  pursuant to this Agreement  unless and
only to the extent that the court on which such action or suit was brought shall
