GRI agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents, harmless, from and against any actions, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses and costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of any third-party claim relating to the Services, breach or alleged breach by GRI of any of its representations, warranties, or obligations under this Agreement.

b. The Company will give prompt written notice to the GRI of the claim against which it seeks to be indemnified. The failure by the Company to give such notice will not relieve the GRI of its obligations under this Section 7, except to the extent that such failure results in the failure of actual notice and the GRI is damaged as a result of the failure to give notice. The Company will allow the GRI to direct the defense and settlement of any such claim, with counsel of the GRI's choosing, and will provide the GRI, at the GRI's expense, with information and assistance that is reasonably necessary for the defense and settlement of the claim. The Company will have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Company unless: (i) the employment of counsel by the Company has been authorized by the GRI; (ii) the Company has been advised by its counsel in writing that there is a conflict of interest between the GRI and the Company in the conduct of the defense of the action (in which case the GRI will not have the right to direct the defense of the action on behalf of the Company); or (iii) the GRI has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of the action within a reasonable time following receipt of the notice given pursuant to this Section 7, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the GRI. Unless an GRI fails to defend a claim for which it is obligated to indemnify an Company under this Section 7, the GRI will not be liable for any settlement of an action effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor will the GRI settle any such action without the written consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No GRI will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Company a release from all liability with respect to the claim.

10. Relationship of Parties. The parties hereto expressly understand and agree that GRI is an independent contractor in the performance of each and every part of this Agreement and neither party has the ability to bind the other or to incur any obligation on its behalf.

15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire Agreement and understanding between the Company and GRI and supersedes any and all negotiations, prior discussions and preliminary and prior arrangements and understandings related to the central subject matter hereof. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. In the event of an assignment of the Work Product by The Company, the transferee will have the benefit of and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by the parties. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The invalidity and/or unenforceability in whole or in part of any provision of this Agreement shall not render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement, which instead will remain in full force and effect. If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained herein is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope or duration of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. Any waiver by a party of any default by the other shall not be deemed a waiver of any other default irrespective of whether such default is similar. GRI may not assign this Agreement or any part thereof. The captions appearing in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope and intent of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof.
