reference into the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state in such Derived Information a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make 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 to the extent any such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement therein results directly from an
