costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees,
whether arising in an action or proceeding among the parties hereto or
otherwise, without regard to the merit or lack of merit thereof) to which the
Bank may become subject, or which it may suffer or incur, arising out of or
based upon this Agreement or the actions contemplated hereby. This paragraph
shall survive termination of this Agreement.

      6. The Bank shall be fully protected in acting on any order or direction
by Laurus respecting the items received by the Bank or the monies or other items
in the Restricted Account without making any independent inquiry whatsoever as
to Laurus' rights or authority to give such order or direction or as to the
application of any payments made pursuant thereto.
