not set forth in the Indenture and the registration statement and prospectus with respect thereto) the terms of such Designated

by an exchange of telegraphic communications or any other rapid transmission device designed to produce a written record of communications
transmitted. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be several and not joint.</P>

the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other from the offering
of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however,
the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed
to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received
by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters, in each case as set forth
in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to relate to a particular offering of Designated Securities.
The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the
one hand or such Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include 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 subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price at which the applicable Designated Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which 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 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Designated Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several
in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.</P>
