Consulting Agreement | | Page 6 |
(b) Notwithstanding the above, Contractor shall continue to own all right, title and interest in and to all techniques, methodologies, objects, modules, software, or other materials (including all intellectual property rights therein) created or obtained by Contractor prior to performing any Services under this Agreement or developed independent of this Agreement (“Contractor Technology”). To the extent any Contractor Technology is incorporated into any Deliverable, Contractor hereby grants to iCAD a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid-up license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, modify, and create derivative works of and from such Contractor Technology for iCAD’s use, distribution or exploitation of the Deliverables. Contractor shall also be free to use and employ its general skills, know-how, and expertise, and to use and employ any generalized ideas, concepts, know-how, methods, techniques, or skills gained or learned during the course of any assignment, so long as it acquires and applies such information without disclosure of any confidential or Proprietary Information of iCAD and provided further that in no event shall the Deliverables be used or provided to any third party without iCAD’s prior written consent.
(a) Indemnity. Contractor will defend, indemnify and hold harmless iCAD and its affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to any claim, action or proceeding (each a “Claim”) brought by any third party based upon: (a) any actual or alleged breach of Contractor’s representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement or any personal injury, death or damage to property caused by Contractor or its personnel; or (b) actual or alleged infringement, violation or misappropriation of any third-party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right by any Services or Deliverable. Contractor will use counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties to defend each Claim. Contractor will at all times keep the Indemnified Parties advised of the status of each Claim and the defense of such Claim. The Indemnified Parties will cooperate (at Contractor’s cost) with Contractor in the defense. Any Indemnified Party may participate in the defense at its own expense. If at any time any Indemnified Party reasonably determines that any Claim might adversely affect any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party may take control of the defense of the Claim at such Indemnified Party’s expense (without limiting Contractor’s indemnification obligations), and in such event such Indemnified Party and its counsel will proceed diligently and in good faith with such defense. Contractor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the Indemnified Parties’ prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Contractor’s duty to defend is independent of its duty to indemnify.
(b) Upon appointment of the Contractor to any role as an authorized Officer of the Corporation, iCAD will fully indemnify Contractor to the fullest extent consistent with the By-Laws of the Corporation (if applicable) and permitted by, and except as prohibited under, applicable law from and against any liabilities, costs, claims and expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred in defense of any proceeding (including attorneys’ fees) in which the Contractor is made a party by reason of the fact that Contractor is serving as an officer of the Corporation.
This indemnification provision shall not apply to any proceeding (i) initiated by Contractor or the Company relating to a dispute between Contractor and the Company with respect to this Agreement; or (ii) in connection with losses, claims, damages or liabilities as are fully and finally adjudicated to have resulted solely from the Contractor’s bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of any law, rule or regulation. The Contractor and iCAD agree that any such liability on Contractor’s part shall in no event exceed the total amount of any fees and expenses generated by the Contractor in connection with this Agreement and that the Contractor shall in no event be liable for indirect or consequential damages of any kind or for punitive damages.
