which it may have to the other Party or controlling person(s) other than on
account of this indemnity provision. Neither Party shall be liable for
amounts paid in settlement of any such claim if such settlement was
effected without its prior notification. The provisions of this paragraph
shall not in any way prejudice any right or rights which either Party may
have against the other Party under any Federal or State securities law, at
common law or otherwise.
