(ii) on the basis of a reading of the latest unaudited financial statements made available by LAMS and its subsidiaries; their limited review, in accordance with standards established under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, of the unaudited interim financial information for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and as at September 30, 2003, carrying out certain specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter; a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders and directors of LAMS and certain of its subsidiaries; and inquiries of certain officials of LAMS who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the LAMS and its subsidiaries as to transactions and events subsequent to December

(b) The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Underwriter, Citibank, N.A., the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and Citibank, N.A. and each person who controls the Company, any Underwriter or Citibank, N.A. within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act,

to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, the Selling Stockholder and Citibank, N.A., but only with reference to written information relating to the Selling Stockholder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, subject to clause (g) below. Each of the Underwriters, Citibank, N.A. and the Company acknowledge that the statements set forth under the section “Selling Shareholder” in the prospectus supplement forming part of the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus except for (i) the fourth sentence of the first paragraph and (ii) the second paragraph of that section constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholder for inclusion in the Preliminary Final Prospectus or Final Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Selling Stockholder may otherwise have.

(c) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers who signs the Registration Statement, Citibank, N.A., the Selling Stockholder, the directors, officers, employees and agents of Citibank, N.A. and the Selling Stockholder and each person who controls the Company, Citibank, N.A. or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, the Selling Stockholder and Citibank, N.A., but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company, Citibank, N.A. and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge that the statements set forth in (i) the second sentence of the penultimate paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and (ii) under the heading “Plan of Distribution”, (1) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (2) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in each case in the prospectus supplement forming part of the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus.

(d) Citibank, N.A. agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Underwriter, the Selling Stockholder, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and of the Selling Stockholder and each person who controls the Company, the Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, the Selling Stockholder and Citibank, N.A., but only with reference to written information relating to Citibank, N.A. furnished to the Company by Citibank, N.A. specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Citibank,

N.A. may otherwise have. The Company, the Underwriters and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge that (i) the last paragraph on the cover page regarding the Additional Hedge Securities, (ii) the fourth sentence of the first paragraph and the second paragraph set forth under “Selling Shareholder” and (iii) the first two paragraphs under “Offering by Citigroup Global Markets Inc.” set forth under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in each case in the prospectus supplement forming part of any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by Citibank, N.A. for inclusion in any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus.

(e) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an

unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(f) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company, the Selling Stockholder, the Underwriters and Citibank, N.A. agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, the Selling Stockholder, one or more of the Underwriters and Citibank, N.A. may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative faults of the indemnifying person, on the one hand, and the indemnified person or persons, on the other hand, in connection with the matter giving rise to such Losses. 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 Company, the Selling Stockholder, the Underwriters or Citibank, N.A., the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholder, the Underwriters and Citibank, N.A. 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 (f), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, each person who controls Citibank, N.A. within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of Citibank, N.A. shall have the same rights to contribution as Citibank, N.A., each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, and each person who controls the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Selling Stockholder shall have the same rights to contribution as the Selling Stockholder, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (f).

(g) The liability of the Selling Stockholder under the Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 1 hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received from the Selling Stockholder from the Securities sold by the Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters and the Underwritten

Hedge Securities sold by Citibank, N.A. to the Underwriters to hedge the Collar Transactions. The Company and the Selling Stockholder may agree, as between themselves and without limiting the rights of the Underwriters under this Agreement, as to the respective amounts of such liability for which they each shall be responsible.

10. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate amount of the Underwritten Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of the Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, Citibank, N.A., the Selling Stockholder or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, the Selling Stockholder and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

11. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives or Citibank, N.A., by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives or Citibank, N.A., impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers, of the Selling Stockholder and of the Underwriters and of Citibank, N.A. set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, Citibank, N.A., the Selling Stockholder or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities, the Settlement Date or Cash Settlement Payment Date, as the case may be, as defined in the Collar Agreement, and the delivery of and payment for any Additional Hedge Securities. The provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancelation of this Agreement.

13. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Citigroup Global Markets Inc. General Counsel (fax no.: (212) 816-7912) and confirmed to the General Counsel, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York, 10013, Attention: General Counsel; or, if sent to Citibank, N.A., will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Citibank, N.A., c/o Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

14. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

15. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
