36


suffer as a result of such default and termination would be difficult, if not impossible, to determine and that the liquidated damages provided for herein are a fair and reasonable estimation of such damages or (ii) waive any such conditions or defaults and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Documents in the same manner as if there had been no conditions or defaults; it being expressly understood and agreed that neither SSLII, Transferee nor Transferor shall have any right or remedy to seek specific performance or injunctive relief with respect to any default by New Investor.

Section 12.11 Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in Sections 12.07, 12.09 and 12.10, the following procedure shall apply:

(a) Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this Article, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party provided that (A) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing that it does not and will not contest its responsibility for indemnifying the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim or proceeding and (B) no settlement shall be made and no judgment consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (i) the claim, action, suit or proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (ii) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such claim. In the case of clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that is in proportion to the damages indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the third-party claim against the Indemnified Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement of defense expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Article.

(d) Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give prompt notice of any claim (if given prior to expiration of any applicable survival period) shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay.

Section 12.12 Exclusivity. The rights and remedies set forth in this Article XII shall be exclusive of all other rights to monetary damages that any party (or any party’s successors or assigns) would otherwise have at law or in equity in connection with the transactions

 

38


contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document, other than with respect to claims based on common law fraud or rights which by law cannot be waived or limited.

Article XIII.
