not be liable for action taken by it in carrying

governmental satellite organizations.
(3) No joint or several liability
If COMSAT is found liable for any action
taken in its status as a signatory or a rep-
resentative of the party to INTELSAT, any
such liability shall be limited to the portion of
the judgment that corresponds to COMSAT’s
percentage of the ownership of INTELSAT at
the time the activity began which lead to the
liability.
