material fact contained in written material provided to Consultant by the
Company and authorized by the Company to be further distributed by the
Consultant; or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact or necessary to make the statements in such

alleged omission, from such written materials, in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Consultant
specifically for use in the preparation thereof.  This indemnity
