5) I shall indemnify and hold Model Aviation harmless from any and all loss, damage, and/or author expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) that Model Aviation may suffer or incur by reason of any claim, arising from the breach or alleged breach of any of the representations or warranties that I have made.

6) Model Aviation has the right to edit or otherwise change the Work. Model Aviation is under no obligation to publish the Work or otherwise apply the Work to any specific purpose and does not guarantee a specific publication date, if any, of the Work. I hereby agree that I surrender all moral rights in the Work and Model Aviation may use my name, photograph, or other likeness in connection with the advertisement and promotion of the Work or any adaptation of versions thereof or the magazine in which it appears.

7) I agree to take such actions and execute such documents, at Model Aviation's expense, as may reasonably be required by Model Aviation to secure and/or protect the rights obtained by Model Aviation according to this Agreement.
