(2)

deliver to the Indemnifying Party as soon as possible but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Indemnified Party receives a copy of all notices and documents (including court papers) delivered to that Indemnified Party relating to that Third Party Claim.

(b) In the event of a Third Party Claim against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense of that Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, assume at its expense the defense of that Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.

-14-

liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of that Third Party Claim, except that if, under applicable standards of professional conduct, there exists a conflict on any significant issue between the Indemnified Party mid the Indemnifying Party in connection with that Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one additional counsel to act with respect to that issue to the extent necessary to resolve that conflict.

Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, that Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

12.3 No Liability for Consequential Damages. No party will be liable to any other for any indirect, consequential, or special damages or for loss of profits. This limitation does not, however, apply to any obligation of either party to indemnify the other in connection with any Indemnifiable Loss.
