includes an unconditional release of each such Indemnified Person from all
liability arising out of such claims, actions, suits or proceedings.
If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs
of this Section 6 is insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such
paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall
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, "Losses") (i) in such proportion as is
------
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Person
on the one hand, and the Indemnified Person on the other hand, pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement or from the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to any Shelf Registration or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above
is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person on the one hand, and the
Indemnified Person on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand,
and any Indemnified Holder on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the initial offering and sale of
Convertible Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to
the total net proceeds received by such Indemnified Holder from sales of
Registrable Securities giving rise to such obligations. The relative fault of
the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
or such Indemnified Holder and the parties' intent, relative knowledge,
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and each of the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take
--- ----
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event shall
any Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of
damages which such Holder would have 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
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this
Section 6, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of
either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer,
employee and agent of an Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to
contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company
within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each
officer and director of the Company shall have
