conflict of interest, (ii)&nbsp;the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii)&nbsp;the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv)&nbsp;the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(d) In the event that the
indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c)&nbsp;of this<U> </U><U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;8</U> is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Agent severally agree to contribute
to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively &#147;<U>Losses</U>&#148;) to which the Company and the Agent may
be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Agent on the other from the offering of the Shares; <I>provided, however, </I>that in no case shall the Agent be
responsible for any amount in excess of the total commissions received by the Agent pursuant to <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;4(c)</U> hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the
Company and the Agent shall contribute 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 of the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and
benefits received by the Agent shall be deemed to be equal to the total commissions received by the Agent pursuant to <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;4(c)</U>. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue
or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Agent on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f) of
the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;8</U>, each person who controls the Agent within the meaning of either the
1933 Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act,
each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph
(d). </P>

in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);
<I>provided, however, </I>that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party&#146;s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i)&nbsp;the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to
represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii)&nbsp;the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii)&nbsp;the indemnifying party shall not
have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv)&nbsp;the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending
or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. </P>

</U><U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;8</U> is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Agent severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively &#147;<U>Losses</U>&#148;) to which the Company and the Agent may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Agent on the other from the offering of the Shares; <I>provided, however, </I>that in no case shall the Agent be responsible for any amount in excess of the total commissions
received by the Agent pursuant to <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;4(c)</U> hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Agent shall contribute 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 of the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Agent shall be deemed to be equal to
the total commissions received by the Agent pursuant to <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;4(c)</U>. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Agent on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;8</U>, each person who controls the Agent within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer,
employee and agent of the Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the
Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). </P>

Company and the Agent shall contribute 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 of the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and
benefits received by the Agent shall be deemed to be equal to the total commissions received by the Agent pursuant to <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;4(c)</U>. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue
or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Agent on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f) of
the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;8</U>, each person who controls the Agent within the meaning of either the
1933 Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act,
each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph
