sufficient cause for immediate termination of this Agreement by
Consultant. Any such suspension will in no way relieve Client
from payment of fees, and, in the event of collection
enforcement, Client shall be liable for any costs associated with
such collection, including, but not limited to, legal costs,
attorneys' fees, courts costs, and collection agency fees.

true, (ii) would constitute a breach of any of Client's
representations, warranties, or agreements hereunder, or (iii)
arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Client, or
any Client Content to be provided by Client and does not violate
any rights of third parties, including, without limitation,

trade secrets, and/or licenses.

(b)  Consultant.

Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend, and shall hold harmless

negotiations relative to the settlement of any such claim. Any
settlement intended to bind the indemnified party shall not be
final without the indemnified party's written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Consultant shall have no liability with respect to Consultant's
obligations under this Agreement or otherwise for consequential,
exemplary, special, incidental, or punitive damages even if

reason and upon any cause of action, regardless of the form in
