ability of the Company&#146;s subsidiaries to pay dividends or distributions to their equity holders or to make or repay loans or advances to the Company or any other subsidiary or to guarantee indebtedness of the Company or any other subsidiary.

paragraph&nbsp;(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section&nbsp;7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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 Underwriters&#146; obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section&nbsp;7 are several in
