the Shareholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section&nbsp;3.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by
any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.&#160; Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section&nbsp;3.4, no Shareholder shall be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable
Securities sold by such Shareholder and distributed to the public were offered
to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Shareholder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.&#160;
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.</font></p>
