their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, affiliates, employees, agents, managers, members, representatives, successors and assigns or any officer, director, shareholder, partner, affiliate, employee, agent, manager, member,

incurred, any and all Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) the Interests or the Operating Agreement, (ii) Seller’s status as Member of the Company,
(iii) Seller’s status as Manager of the Company, (iv) Seller’s relationship with the Company prior to the Closing, (v) any claim by or with respect to any individual who, as of the Closing, is or was an employee, individual
consultant or individual independent contractor of the Company, including, without limitation, claims that are currently pending against the Company or Seller, (vi) the breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties of Seller

 4 

 
the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Indemnifying Party may be unenforceable for any reason, the Indemnifying Party shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. 
 (b) Whenever a claim shall arise for
indemnification hereunder or upon receipt by an Indemnitee of a written threat of a claim which an Indemnitee reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee seeking indemnification (an “indemnified
party”) shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the claim for indemnification and the facts, in reasonable detail, constituting the basis for such claim (a “Claim Notice”); provided that failure
of an indemnified party to give a prompt Claim Notice shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially adversely affected in
its ability to defend against such claim or is otherwise materially prejudiced thereby. 
 (c) The obligations
and liabilities of the Indemnifying Party to an indemnified party under this Agreement with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of Liabilities by Persons other than BRE Select Corp as successor to Seller (including claims of a
Governmental Entity for penalties, fines and assessments) (a “Third-Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) The indemnified party shall give a prompt Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party of the nature of the Third-Party Claim and the amount thereof to the extent known; provided that failure of an
indemnified party to give a prompt Claim Notice shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially adversely affected in its
ability to defend against such claim or is otherwise materially prejudiced thereby. 
 (ii) The Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party hereunder against any Liability that may result from such
Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its expense and through counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the indemnified
party) within thirty days of the receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to such Third-Party Claim from the indemnified party. If a Claim Notice is given to the Indemnifying Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does
not, within such thirty-day period, assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.2(c), the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any commercially reasonable
compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.2(c), then no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim may be
effected by the Indemnifying Party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent unless (A) such compromise or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the Person(s) asserting such claim to the
indemnified party of a written unconditional release from all Liabilities in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any
Indemnitee and (B) the sole relief provided for in such compromise or settlement is monetary damages which will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. No Third-Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled by the indemnified party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). 

(iii) In any suit, action, claim, arbitration or proceeding relating to a Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been
assumed by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 6.2(c): (A) the indemnified party shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel and accountants of its own choosing at the indemnified party’s sole cost
and expense, except the indemnified party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (x) the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable
defenses available to it 

  
 5 

 
that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, counsel for the Indemnifying Party could not
adequately represent the interests of the indemnified party because such interests could be in conflict with those of the Indemnifying Party, (y) such Third-Party Claim involves, or is reasonably likely to have a material effect on, any matter
beyond the scope of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense of the Third-Party Claim in a timely fashion; and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the
indemnified party fully informed as to the status of such Third-Party Claim at all stages thereof, whether or not the indemnified party is represented by its own counsel. With respect to any Third-Party Claim (1) the Indemnifying Party shall
make available to the indemnified party, and its attorneys, accountants and other representatives, all books and records of the Indemnifying Party relating to such Third-Party Claim; and (2) the Indemnifying Party and the indemnified party, as
the case may be, shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required of each other and cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable law to the contrary, it is understood and agreed by
Seller that no director, officer, employee, agent, shareholder or affiliate of the Indemnifying Party shall have (i) any personal liability to an indemnified party as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
of the Indemnifying Party contained herein or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any personal obligation to indemnify an indemnified party for any claims pursuant to this Agreement, and
Seller will not seek recourse or commence any action against any director, officer, employee, agent, shareholder or affiliate of the Indemnifying Party or any of their personal assets as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement of the Indemnifying Party contained herein or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, “Liabilities” shall mean any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, except as set forth in Section 7.10 below, liabilities and damages and expenses (irrespective of whether any such indemnified party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, interest and penalties and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that (i) nothing in this
Agreement shall limit any obligations the Indemnitees may have to indemnify individuals who served as officers and directors of Seller prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 5.8 of the Merger
Agreement, Seller’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation hereunder to indemnify the Indemnitees with respect to Liabilities they may incur in
connection with their obligations described in the foregoing clause (i) of this subparagraph (f).

held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, (i) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or
unenforceable provision and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability
