possible of the nature of such claim (provided that any failure to so notify
shall not affect the Corporation&#146;s liability under this Section 14 except to
the extent that the Corporation is actually prejudiced by that failure, and
then only to such extent) and the Corporation shall, subject as hereinafter
provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence on behalf of the
Indemnified Party of any suit brought to enforce such claim; provided that the
defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party,
acting reasonably, and no settlement of any claim or admission of liability may
be made by the Corporation without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, acting reasonably, unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action
or claim and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
suit and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the
Corporation fails to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the
Indemnified Party within ten days of receiving notice of such suit; (ii) the
employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Corporation; or (iii) the
named parties to any such suit include both the Indemnified Party and the
Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party
which are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation
and that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in
which case the Corporation shall not have the right to assume the defence of
such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party but shall be liable to pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party). It is
understood, however, that the Corporation will, in connection with any one such
action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related
actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of only one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) at
any time for all such Indemnified Parties not having actual or potential
differing interests. It is the intention of the Corporation and the
Underwriters to constitute the Underwriters trustees for any Indemnified
Parties that are not party to this Agreement and the Underwriters agree to
accept such trust and to hold and enforce the rights and benefits of this Section
14 on behalf of such Indemnified Parties.</font></p>

its default hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve
the Corporation of any liability which may have arisen or may arise under
