proper.

suit or  proceeding  if (i) the Company was made a party to any action,  suit or
proceeding by reason of the fact that the Consultant rendered advice or services
pursuant to this  Agreement,  and (ii) the  Consultant did not act in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed by the Consultant to be in or not opposed to
the  interests  of the  Company,  and with  respect  to any  criminal  action or
proceeding, did not reasonably believe his conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  the  Consultant  shall not indemnify the Company with respect to
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
determine upon  application  that,  despite the adjunction of liability,  but in
view of all  circumstances  of the case,  the  Company is fairly and  reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
