contained in the Reoffering Circular, as it may be amended or supplemented, distributed in connection with the remarketing of the Bonds or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent and only to the extent such untrue or misleading statement or alleged untrue or misleading statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any such documents in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Company in writing by the Remarketing Agent expressly for use in the Reoffering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(iii)   In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity is required  pursuant to any of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (hereinafter called the “ indemnified party ”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (hereinafter called the “ indemnifying party ”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such indemnified party shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, unless representation of more than one indemnified party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  In the event of such a conflict, such firm shall be designated in writing (x) by the Remarketing Agent in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to (a)(i)(A) of this Section 5, (y) by the Authority in the case of the Authority Indemnified Parties and (z) by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to (a)(ii) of this Section 5.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after the receipt by the indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party for the fees and expenses to which such indemnified party is entitled

hereunder in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(iv)   If the indemnification provided for in (a)(i)(A) or (a)(ii)(A) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party under such paragraph, in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Remarketing Agent, from the remarketing and sale of the Bonds or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 Company and the Remarketing Agent in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages and liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company and the Remarketing Agent shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the remarketing and s
