Promptly after receipt by<br \/>\nan indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any<br \/>\naction, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made<br \/>\nagainst the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the<br \/>\nindemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the<br \/>\nindemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have<br \/>\nunder subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been<br \/>\nmaterially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses)<br \/>\nby such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the<br \/>\nindemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to<br \/>\nan indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case<br \/>\nany such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the<br \/>\nindemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be<br \/>\nentitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly<br \/>\nwith any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense<br \/>\nthereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not,<br \/>\nexcept with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying<br \/>\nparty), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party<br \/>\nof its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will<br \/>\nnot be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or<br \/>\nother expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection<br \/>\nwith the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No<br \/>\nindemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified<br \/>\nparty, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of<br \/>\nwhich any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could<br \/>\nhave been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i)<br \/>\nincludes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability<br \/>\non any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not<br \/>\ninclude a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure<br \/>\nto act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.<\/p>\n<p>(d) <em>Contribution<\/em>. If the indemnification provided for in this<br \/>\nSection is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party<br \/>\nunder subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute<br \/>\nto the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the<br \/>\nlosses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b)<br \/>\nabove (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits<br \/>\nreceived by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from<br \/>\nthe offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)<br \/>\nabove is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate<br \/>\nto reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but<br \/>\nalso the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on<br \/>\nthe other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such<br \/>\nlosses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable<br \/>\nconsiderations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand<br \/>\nand the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion<br \/>\nas the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received<br \/>\nby the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received<br \/>\nby the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to,<br \/>\namong other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material<br \/>\nfact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to<br \/>\ninformation supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties&#8217;<br \/>\nrelative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or<br \/>\nprevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified<br \/>\nparty as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in<br \/>\nthe first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal<br \/>\nor other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection<br \/>\nwith investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">14<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d),<br \/>\nno Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the<br \/>\namount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and<br \/>\ndistributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any<br \/>\ndamages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of<br \/>\nsuch untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No<br \/>\nperson guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section<br \/>\n11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not<br \/>\nguilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#8217; obligations in<br \/>\nthis subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective<br \/>\nunderwriting obligations and not joint. The Company and the Underwriters agree<br \/>\nthat it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section<br \/>\n8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were<br \/>\ntreated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation<br \/>\nwhich does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this<br \/>\nSection 8(d).<\/p>\n<p>9. <em>Default of Underwriters<\/em>. If any Underwriter or Underwriters<br \/>\ndefault in their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder on the Closing<br \/>\nDate and the aggregate principal amount of Securities that such defaulting<br \/>\nUnderwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of<br \/>\nthe total principal amount of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to<br \/>\npurchase on the Closing Date, the Representatives may make arrangements<br \/>\nsatisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other<br \/>\npersons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made<br \/>\nby the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated<br \/>\nseverally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase<br \/>\nthe Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase<br \/>\non the Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the<br \/>\naggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default or<br \/>\ndefaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Securities that the<br \/>\nUnderwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date and arrangements<br \/>\nsatisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such<br \/>\nSecurities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default,<br \/>\nthis Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any<br \/>\nnon-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 10. As<br \/>\nused in this Agreement, the term &#8220;Underwriter&#8221; includes any person substituted<br \/>\nfor an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting<br \/>\nUnderwriter from liability for its default.<\/p>\n<p>10. <em>Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations<\/em>. The<br \/>\nrespective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other<br \/>\nstatements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set<br \/>\nforth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and<br \/>\neffect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof,<br \/>\nmade by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective<br \/>\nrepresentatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will<br \/>\nsurvive delivery of and payment for the Securities. If the purchase of the<br \/>\nSecurities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than<br \/>\nsolely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof<br \/>\nor the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or<br \/>\n(viii) of Section 7(c) hereof, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for<br \/>\nall out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel)<br \/>\nreasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Securities,<br \/>\nand the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to<br \/>\nSection 8 hereof shall remain in effect. In addition, if any Securities have<br \/>\nbeen purchased hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 2 and<br \/>\nall obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect.<\/p>\n<p>11. <em>Notices<\/em>.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of<br \/>\ncounterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such<br \/>\ncounterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>15. <em>Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. <\/em>The Company acknowledges and<br \/>\nagrees that:<\/p>\n<p>(a) <em>No Other Relationship<\/em>. The Representatives have been retained<br \/>\nsolely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of Securities and that<br \/>\nno fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the<br \/>\nRepresentatives has been created in respect of any of the transactions<br \/>\ncontemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of whether<br \/>\nthe Representatives have advised or are advising the Company on other matters;\n<\/p>\n<p>(b) <em>Arms&#8217; Length Negotiations<\/em>.
