Consultant hereby agrees and acknowledges that if any third party initiates any action claiming that this Agreement, or the provision of Services hereunder is in violation of any agreement between Consultant and the third party, that the Bank has the absolute right to immediately terminate this Agreement, and any payments hereunder during the resolution of such dispute.  Regardless of the outcome of such dispute, the Bank shall have no obligation to re-hire or reinstate this Agreement in any manner, at any time.  It is the intentions of the parties that in fulfilling the obligations of the Services, that Consultant will not unlawfully utilize any trade secrets or intellectual property rights of any third party, and the Bank shall not put Consultant in a position which would require him to do so.
