However, each Indemnified Party will have the right to retain separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Covenantors if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Covenantors would be, in the Indemnified Party’s view, inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Covenantors will be responsible for the expenses of such defense even if it does not elect to assume such defense. None of the Covenantors may, except with the Consent of the relevant Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as a term thereof the unconditional release of such Indemnified Party of all Liabilities in respect of such Action.

A request for such equitable or injunctive relief shall not waive this arbitration provision.

8.7 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the Party waiving such provision.
