statute, rule or regulation include any successor to the section. References to a "business day"

shall mean any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day on which banking institutions in the

State ofNew York generally are authorized or required by law or other governmental actions to

close.

damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and

disbursements ofattorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with

investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims,

damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based

upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement ofmaterial fact contained in any

registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained

therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any documents incorporated therein

by reference or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule

405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or

any amendment or supplement thereto); or any omission to state therein a material fact

required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light ofthe

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Company

shall not be liable to such Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss,

statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained

therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto or contained in any free writing

prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or authorized

by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in

such Indemnitee for use in connection with such registration statement, including any

such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such

amendments or supplements thereto, or (B) offers or sales effected by or on behalfof

such Indemnitee "by means of' (as defined in Rule 159A) a "free writing prospectus" (as

(ii) Ifthe indemnification provided for in Section 4.5(g)(i) is unavailable to an

Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or

expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as

contemplated therein, then the Company, in lieu ofindemnifying such Indemnitee, shall

contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result ofsuch losses,

claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate

to reflect the relative fault ofthe Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the

other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,

claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant

-26-

09S33 I..QOOZ-tOO33-NY02.2689S6S. I I
equitable considerations. The relative fault ofthe Company, on the one hand, and ofthe

Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors,

whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates

to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties' relative

intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such

statement or omission; the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and

equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5(g)(ii) were determined by pro rata

allocation or by any other method ofallocation that does not take account ofthe equitable

considerations referred to in Section 4.5(g)(i). No Indemnitee guilty offraudulent

misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) ofthe Securities Act) shall be

entitled to contribution from the Company ifthe Company was not guilty ofsuch

fraudulent misrepresentation.

the Market Price of a share ofCommon Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first

public announcemeJ:.l.t by the Company or any ofits Affiliates ofthe intent to effect such Pro Rata

Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price ofthe Pro Rata Repurchase, and ofwhich

.the denominator shall be the product of(i) the number ofshares ofCommon Stock outstanding

immediately priorto such Pro Rata Repurcbase minus the number ofshares ofCommon Stock so

repurchased and (li) the Market Price per share ofCommon Stock on the trading day

immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any ofits Affiliates of
