published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

 

8.3     Dealer Manager Indemnification of the Company . The Dealer Manager will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its Indemnified Parties from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the aforesaid parties may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims (including the reasonable cost of investigation), damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by the Dealer Manager, any material breach of a covenant or agreement contained herein by the Dealer Manager, or any material failure by the Dealer Manager to perform its obligations hereunder, (b) any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Memorandum or (c) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Memorandum or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided, however , that in each case described in clauses (b) and (c) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Dealer Manager specifically for use in the preparation of the Memorandum, (d) any untrue statement or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading by the Dealer Manager or its representatives or agents in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares, (e) any failure by the Dealer Manager to comply with applicable laws governing money laundry abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts in connection with the Offering, including applicable FINRA Rules, Exchange Act Regulations and the USA PATRIOT Act, or (f) any other failure by the Dealer Manager to comply with any of the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation D or the rules and regulations thereunder or any applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. The Dealer Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.

 

8.4     Participating Broker-Dealer Indemnification of the Company . By virtue of entering into the Participating Broker-Dealer Agreements with the Participating Broker-Dealers, the Dealer Manager shall cause each Participating Broker-Dealer to agree to severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each of their respective Indemnified Parties, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Dealer Manager, or any of their respective Indemnified Parties may become subject, as more fully described in each Participating Broker-Dealer Agreement.

 

8.5     Action Against Parties; Notification . Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof and the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 8 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission, but not from any other liability which it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 8.6) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement,

with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.

 

8.6     Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses . An indemnifying party under Section 8 of this Agreement shall be obligated to reimburse an indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows:

 

(a)    In the case of the Company indemnifying the Dealer Manager, the advancement of Company funds to the Dealer Manager for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought shall be permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the Company or the legal action is initiated by a stockholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) the Dealer Manager undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which the Dealer Manager is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

(b)    In any case of indemnification other than that described in Section 8.6(a) above, the indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however , that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been participating by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim, provided, however , that in the case of the defense of claims as a result of events alleged to have occurred during a period during which a Participating Broker-Dealer has the right to act as the exclusive Participating Broker-Dealer, and that Participating Broker-Dealer is an Indemnified Party entitled to the payment of fees and expenses under this Section 8.6, such Participating Broker-Dealer shall have the right to select the law firm of record. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

 

9.     Contribution .

If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager, a Participating Broker-Dealer or any Indemnified Party thereof in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to in Section 8 hereof, then the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Broker-Dealer shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses as incurred, (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Broker-Dealer, respectively, from the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Dealer Agreement or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Broker-

Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by Company, the Dealer Manager and any Participating Broker-Dealer, respectively, in connection with the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Dealer Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Broker-Dealer Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees received by the Dealer Manager and the Participating Broker-Dealer, respectively, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Primary Shares.

The relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and any Participating Broker-Dealer, respectively, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Broker-Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

10.     Survival of Provisions . Except as the context otherwise requires, all representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties and agreements at and as of the Offering Termination Date, and such representations, warranties and agreements of the parties hereto, including the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Sections 7, 8 and 9 above, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or the Company or any controlling person, and shall survive the sale of, and payment for, the Shares.

 

11.     Applicable Law; Venue . This Agreement was executed and delivered in, and its validity, interpretation and construction shall be governed by the laws of, the State of Maryland; provided however , that causes of action for violations of federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section 11. Venue for any action brought hereunder shall lie exclusively in Chicago, Illinois.

12.     Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be an original contract, but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, (a) the Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager all earned but unpaid compensation and reimbursement for all incurred, accountable compensation to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled under Section 6 of this Agreement pursuant to the requirements of that Section 6 at such times as such amounts become payable pursuant to the terms of such Section 6, offset by any losses suffered by the Company or any officer or director of the Company arising from the Dealer Manager’s breach of this Agreement or an action that would otherwise give rise to an indemnification claim against the Dealer Manager under Section 8 herein, and (b) the Dealer Manager shall promptly deliver to the Company all records and documents in its possession that relate to the Offering and that are not designated as “dealer” copies.

  

16.     Notices . Any notice, approval, request, authorization, direction or other communication under this Agreement shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally, (b) on the first business day after delivery to a national overnight courier service, or (c) on the fifth business day after deposited in the United States mail, properly addressed and stamped with the required postage, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case to the intended recipient at the address set forth below:
