any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section&nbsp;7(a) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Agent, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section&nbsp;7(b) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected

damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i)&nbsp;in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, from the applicable

and the parties&#146; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. </P>
