(i)&nbsp;above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be

hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one

claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section&nbsp;8(c), any legal or other fees or disbursements reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section&nbsp;8(e) 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 in this Section&nbsp;8(e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section&nbsp;8(e), no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. 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;8(e) are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section&nbsp;8(e), each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent
of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of
the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. </P>
