(e) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (c) of this Section 24 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Borrower and the Underwriters agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with A -8 Error!

In no case shall the Underwriters be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Bonds purchased by the Underwriters hereunder. Benefits received by the Borrower shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions in each case set forth in the Official Statement under the section entitled "UNDERWRITING." Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Borrower on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Borrower and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section Il(f) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 24, each person who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Underwriters shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriters, and each person who controls the Borrower within the meaning of either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each official, director, officer and employee of the Borrower shall have the same rights to contribution as the Borrower, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e). 25.
