Claim Resolution. Anything in this Section 11.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if there is a reasonable probability that a third party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnitee other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to defend, compromise or settle such Claim; provided, however, that if such Claim is settled without the Indemnitor’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have waived all rights hereunder against the Indemnitor for money damages arising out of such Claim, and (b) the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or (ii) if such settlement, compromise or consent involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such Indemnitee other than financial obligations for which such Indemnitee will be fully indemnified hereunder.

11.4. Remedies Exclusive; No Other Remedies. The remedies contained in this Article 11 shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedies for any post-Closing Claims made in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto hereby waives and releases, and covenants not to seek or assert, any other Claims or remedies in the event that the Closing occurs.
