(c)           Periodic
Reimbursement.


 


(i)            Reimbursable
Expenses incurred by the Sub-Manager on behalf of the Company or the Manager and payable pursuant to this Section 5 shall be reimbursed
no less than monthly to the Sub-Manager by the Company. Such reimbursement shall be made in cash to the Sub-Manager within 30

Company shall reimburse the Sub-Manager for the Company’s Organization and Offering Expenses incurred by the Sub-Manager.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the Sub-Manager for Organization and Offering Expenses it may incur
on the Company’s or the Manager’s behalf but only to the extent that (1) the total amount of all Organization and
Offering Expenses is reasonable and (2) solely in connection with the Public Offering, the aggregate reimbursement would not cause

Statement relates (the “Public Offering”), in each case, without recourse against or reimbursement by the Company.

Reimbursements. The Sub-Manager shall have the right, in its sole discretion, by written instruction in accordance with this
Section 5(d), to elect to waive or defer all or a portion of the reimbursement of the Reimbursable Expenses that would otherwise
be paid to it. No later than three business days prior to the Manager delivering to the Company the Reimbursement Statement, the
Sub-Manager shall provide written instructions to the Manager with respect to the Sub-Manager’s election to waive or defer

and (ii) subject to the Exclusivity Agreement and its obligations hereunder, engage in activities that overlap with or compete
with those in which the Company and its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage. The Company, on its own behalf and on

in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for an Advisory Client to the extent such opportunity has been
determined in good faith by the Sub-Manager not to be allocated to the Company, all in accordance with the Company’s and
the Sub-Manager’s allocation policy.

10.           Indemnification.


 


 (a)           Indemnification.

as applicable, indemnify, defend and protect the Sub-Manager (and its respective officers, managers, partners, shareholders, agents,
employees, controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with the Sub-Manager, each of whom shall be deemed a
third party beneficiary hereof) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless from and against
all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement)
incurred by the Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other
proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Company or its security holders, as specifically provided herein)
arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Sub-Manager’s duties or obligations under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this paragraph to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed
to protect the Indemnified Parties against or entitle or be deemed to entitle the Indemnified Parties to indemnification in respect
of, any liability to the Manager or any of its subsidiaries to which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise be subject by reason
of negligence or misconduct in the performance of the Sub-Manager’s duties and obligations under this Agreement. 


 


(b)           The
Sub-Manager shall indemnify the Manager and the Company (and their respective officers, managers, partners, members, agents employees,
controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with the Manager or the Company, as applicable) for any losses that
the Manager and the Company (and their respective officers, managers, partners, members, agents employees, controlling persons
and any other person or entity affiliated with the Manager or the Company, as applicable) may sustain primarily as a result of
the Sub-Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement or violation of applicable law, including without limitation, the federal and state securities laws.


 


(c)           Limitation
on Indemnification. Notwithstanding Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), the Manager and its subsidiaries and the Company shall
not provide for indemnification of the Indemnified Parties for any liability or loss suffered by the Indemnified Parties, nor
shall the Manager or its subsidiaries or the Company provide that any of the Indemnified Parties be held harmless for any loss
or liability suffered by the Manager and its subsidiaries or the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:


 


(i)            the
Indemnified Party has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best
interests of the Manager and its subsidiaries or the Company, as applicable;


 


(ii)           the
Indemnified Party was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Manager and its subsidiaries or the Company, as applicable;








 


(iii)          such
liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnified Party; and


 


(iv)          such
indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Manager’s net assets or the Company’s
net assets, as applicable, and not from members of the Company.


 






    - 11 -


     


    

 


Furthermore,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses
arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more of the following conditions
are met:


 


(v)           there
has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular
indemnitee;


 


(vi)          such
claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee;
or


 


(vii)         a
court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification
of the settlement and related costs should be made, and the court of law considering the request for indemnification has been
advised of the position of the SEC and the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities
of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.


 


(d)           Advancement
of Funds. The Company and/or the Manager, as applicable, shall be permitted to advance funds to the Indemnified Party for
legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all

legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company or the
Manager;


 


(ii)           The
Indemnified Party undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company or the Manager, as applicable, together with the applicable
legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which the Indemnified Party is not found to be entitled to indemnification; and


 


(iii)          The
legal action was initiated by a third party who is not the holder of an ownership interest in the Company, or if the legal action
was not initiated by such a holder, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement.
