shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i)&nbsp;in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii)&nbsp;if the allocation provided by clause (i)&nbsp;above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i)&nbsp;above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in
connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by or on behalf of the Company and the total

fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor or by the Underwriters and the parties&#146; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The

considerations referred to in clause (e)&nbsp;above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or action in respect thereof, referred to in clause (e)&nbsp;above shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section&nbsp;7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any
damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section&nbsp;7 are not exclusive and shall
not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. </P>
