In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and theIndemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defensethereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, theIndemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in thedefense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out of pocketcosts and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (i)the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (ii) the IndemnifiedParty shall reasonably have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party by theIndemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, asreasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interestsbetween such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defensesavailable to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to theIndemnifying Party (other than that the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified by theIndemnifying Party), or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counselreasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice ofthe commencement of such Claim.

The relative fault of such Indemnifying Partyand Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrueor alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a materialfact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or by such Indemnified Party, andthe parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct orprevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just andequitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation(even if the Investors or any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by anyother method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred toin this Section 3.6(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of thelosses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall bedeemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Partyin connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(e) **Limitation on Investors’ Obligations**.
