contained in the Derived Information prepared by the Underwriters and
4

are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in such Derived

the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, (except that no such indemnity shall be available
for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or actions in respect thereof
