from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
or
expenses, including those resulting from any threatened or pending
investigation, action, proceeding or dispute whether or not SRKS
or any
such other Indemnified Person is a party to such investigation, action,
proceeding or dispute, arising out of SRKS's entering into or performing
services under this Agreement, or arising out of any matter referred
to in
this Agreement. This indemnity shall also include SRKS's and/or any
such
other Indemnified Person's reasonable attorneys' and accountants'
fees and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in, and the cost of SRKS's personnel
whose
time is spent in connection with, such investigations, actions,
proceedings or disputes which fees, expenses and costs shall be
periodically reimbursed to SRKS and/or to any such other Indemnified
Person by NASSAU INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS INC as they are incurred;
provided, however, that the indemnity herein set forth shall not

negligent manner or engaged in willful misconduct in the performance
of
the services hereunder which gave rise to the loss, claim, damage,
liability, cost or expense sought to be recovered hereunder (but

or
expenses incurred by NASSAU INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS INC that is
found in
a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

If
for
any reason, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to SRKS or any such
other Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless, then NASSAU
INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS INC shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by
SRKS or any such other Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim,
damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the
relative benefits received by NASSAU INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS INC and its
shareholders on the one hand and SRKS or any such other Indemnified Person
on
the other hand, but also the relative fault of NASSAU INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS
INC and SRKS or any such other Indemnified Person, as well as any relevant
equitable considerations; provided that in no event will the aggregate
contribution by SRKS and any such other Indemnified Person hereunder exceed
the
amount of fees actually received by SRKS pursuant to this Agreement. The
reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of NASSAU INTERNATIONAL
CONSULTANTS INC hereinabove set forth shall be in addition to any liability
which NASSAU INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS INC may otherwise have and these
obligations and the other provisions hereinabove set forth shall be binding
upon
and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of NASSAU INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS INC, SRKS and any other
