 Company as a REIT, after giving effect to any exception from such ownership limitations that our Board may grant to our Manager or its affiliates; and (b) compliance with all applicable restrictions under the U.S. federal securities laws and NYSE rules. In addition, notice of the election must be made to our Board at the time the Manager delivers to the Board the computation of the Annual Fee for such month.

Liability and Indemnification of Manager

Under the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager will indemnify and hold harmless us, our subsidiaries and NexPoint Real Estate Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”) from all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by reason of our Manager’s bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however, that our Manager will not be held responsible for any action of our Board in following or declining to follow any written advice or written recommendation given by our Manager. However, the aggregate maximum amount that our Manager may be liable to us pursuant to the Management Agreement will, to the extent not prohibited by law, never exceed the amount of the Annual Fees received by our Manager under the Management Agreement prior to the date that the acts or omissions giving rise to a claim for indemnification or liability have occurred. In addition, our Manager will not be liable for special, exemplary, punitive, indirect, or consequential loss, or damage of any kind whatsoever, including without limitation lost profits. The limitations described in the preceding two sentences will not apply, however, to the extent such damages are determined in a final binding non-appealable court or arbitration proceeding to result from the bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of our Manager’s duties.

Other Activities of Manager and its Affiliates

However, pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager is required to devote sufficient resources to our administration to discharge its obligations under the Management Agreement.
