the purposes hereof, “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit or proceeding any inquiry or
investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding.

any Proceeding, in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder, unless an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liabilities arising out of such Proceeding is obtained, the form and substance of which release
is reasonably satisfactory to PCA.

respondent in a Proceeding, or due to a threat to be named as such, shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding.

PCA or any other Indemnified Party may otherwise have; shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any expiration or termination of PCA’s engagement hereunder; and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successors or
