damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion

the parties&#146; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to in the first sentence of this subsection (e)&nbsp;shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this
subsection (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to
the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the 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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriter&#146;s obligations in this subsection (e)&nbsp;to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section&nbsp;8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section&nbsp;8(e). </P>
