			Article 7

						INDEMNIFICATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

		

		

		

		7.1                   Indemnification.   The Parties hereto agree to indemnify and save harmless the other Parties hereto and including, where applicable, their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (each such party being an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against and agree to be liable for any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatever nature or kind, including any investigation expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party, to which an Indemnified Party may become subject by reason of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

		

		

		7.2                   No Indemnification.   This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

		

		

		7.3                   Claim of Indemnification.   The Parties hereto agree to waive any right they might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy, security or claim payment from any other person before claiming this indemnity.

		

		

		7.4                   Notice of Claim.   In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any of the Parties hereto, the Indemnified Party will give the relevant Party hereto prompt written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and such Party will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt consulting of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the payment of all expenses.  Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve any Party hereto of such Party’s obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by any Party hereto of substantive rights or defenses.

		

		

		7.5                   Settlement.   No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without the consent of each of the Parties hereto and the consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

		

		

		7.6                   Legal Proceedings.   Notwithstanding that the relevant Party hereto will undertake the investigation and defense of any action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:

		

		
			(a)        such counsel has been authorized by the relevant Party hereto;

				

				(b)        the relevant Party hereto has not assumed the defense of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the action;

				

				(c)        the named parties to any such action include that any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party; or

		

		

		

		

		

		

		

		

		

		

		
			(d)       there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to any Party hereto.

		

		

		

		7.7                   Contribution.   If for any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the relevant Party hereto shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by any Party hereto on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the Parties and other equitable considerations which may be relevant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party hereto shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.
