In any event, the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its cost and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This foregoing indemnification provision shall constitute the Indemnified Parties' sole and exclusive remedy, and the Indemnifying Party's sole and exclusive liability, for monetary damages in respect of the matters indemnified under this section.
