Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) during the term of the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager will be responsible for performing all day-to-day management and administrative functions at the property level and arranging for financings and refinancing of property-level indebtedness, including overseeing real property operations of the Subsidiaries (i.e. tenant leasing, property financing, construction and renovation, budgeting, cash management and insurance), subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, (ii) during the term of the Asset Management Agreement, to the extent that any Services hereunder (including, without limitation, the Administrative Services) overlap with or conflict with the services to be provided by and delegated to the Asset Manager, then the Asset Management Agreement shall apply to such services and the “Services” hereunder shall be expressly be deemed to be modified to exclude such services (such that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Asset Manager shall be the sole provider of the services described and set forth in the Asset Management Agreement), and (iii) notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall at all times be subject to any applicable restrictions and conditions regarding the activities of the A-1 Series and/or the Subsidiaries set forth in the Governing Documents of the Company, the Property LP and/or any other Subsidiary. 
(d)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent will perform certain administrative and advisory services (the "Administrative Services") on behalf of the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries with respect to their business, assets and operations.  Such services will include, but not be limited to consulting with the Directors and Officers on sale and other opportunities related to the Property, the collection of information and the submission of reports pertaining to the Property, interest rates and general economic conditions; periodic review and evaluation of the performance of the Property; acting as liaison between the A-1 Series and investment banking and other parties with respect to the disposition of the Property; and other customary functions related to administrative services.  
(e)    For the period and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the A-1 Series hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, in its name, place and stead, to negotiate, execute, deliver and enter into such agreements, instruments and authorizations on its behalf, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary or appropriate.  This power of attorney is deemed to be coupled with an interest and, as a result, is irrevocable and will survive events of Bankruptcy of the A-1 Series.
(f)    The Administrative Agent may enter into agreements with other parties, including its Affiliates, for the purpose of engaging one or more parties for and on behalf, of (A) the Administrative Agent to provide services to the A-1 Series (including Administrative Services) and (B) upon any termination or expiration of the term of the Asset Management Agreement, the Subsidiaries to provide asset management, property management, leasing and other services to the Subsidiaries, in each case, pursuant to agreement(s) with terms which are then customary for agreements regarding the provision of services to companies that have assets similar in type, quality and value to the Property; provided that (i) any such agreements entered into with Affiliates of the Administrative Agent shall be on terms no more favorable to such Affiliate than would be obtained from a third party on an arm's-length basis and approved by a majority of the Independent Directors and, prior to the Fortis Stepdown Date, in the case of any such agreements related to the Property LP and its subsidiaries, the Fortis General Partner and (ii) with respect to Administrative Services, any such agreements shall be subject to the A-1 Series' and the Property LP's prior approval and the Administrative Agent shall remain liable for the performance of such Administrative Services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the term of the Asset Management Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not engage parties to provide services that overlap with or conflict with the services to be provided by and delegated to the Asset Manager.
(g)    In addition, to the extent that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, propose to retain one or more additional entities for the provision of supporting services to the Administrative Agent in order to enable the Administrative Agent to provide the Services to the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries specified by this Agreement; provided that any such agreement (i) shall be on terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise not adverse to the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries, and (ii) shall be approved by the Independent Directors of the Company and, prior to the Fortis Stepdown Date, in the case of any such agreements related to the Property LP and its subsidiaries, the Fortis General Partner.
(h)    The Administrative Agent may retain, for and on behalf of the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries, such services of accountants, legal counsel, appraisers, insurers, brokers, transfer agents, registrars, developers, investment banks, valuation firms, financial advisors, due diligence firms, underwriting review firms, banks and other lenders and others as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable in connection with the Services.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause any such services to be rendered by its personnel or Affiliates; provided, however, that, prior to the Fortis Stepdown Date, any such services to be rendered by such Affiliates to the Property LP and its subsidiaries shall be subject to the Fortis General Partner's prior approval.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates performing such services for the cost thereof; provided that, subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, such costs and reimbursements are no greater than those which would be payable to outside professionals or consultants engaged to perform such services pursuant to agreements negotiated on an arm's-length basis.
(i)    As frequently as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable, or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the General Partners, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, with respect to the Property, reports and other information with respect to the Property as may be reasonably requested by the Board of Directors, the General Partners or any Officer.  
(j)    The Administrative Agent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, financial or otherwise with respect to the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries reasonably required by the Board of Directors in order for the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries to comply with their Governing Instruments or any other materials required to be filed with any governmental body or agency or with the NASDAQ (or other principal securities exchange on which the Series A-1 Common Shares are then listed), and shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all materials and data necessary to complete such reports and other materials including, without limitation, an annual audit of the Company's, the A-1 Series' and the Subsidiaries' books of account by a nationally recognized registered independent public accounting firm.  
(k)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except to the extent that the payment of additional moneys is proven by the A-1 Series to have been required as a direct result of the Administrative Agent's acts or omissions which result in the right of the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to expend money ("Excess Funds") in connection with any expenses that are required to be paid for or reimbursed by the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 9 in excess of that contained in any applicable A-1 Series Account or otherwise made available by the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries to be expended by the Administrative Agent hereunder.
(l)    In performing its duties under this Section 2, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely reasonably on qualified experts and professionals (including, without limitation, accountants, legal counsel and other service providers) hired by the Administrative Agent.
(m)    The cost and expense of the foregoing shall be allocated between the parties as provided in Section 9.
Section 3.    Devotion of Time; Additional Activities.
(a)    The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates will provide the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries with appropriate support personnel.  The Administrative Agent is not obligated to dedicate any of its personnel exclusively to the A-1 Series, nor is the Administrative Agent or its personnel obligated to dedicate any specific portion of its or their time to the A-1 Series.
(b)    The Administrative Agent agrees to offer the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries sale, financing, leasing and other business opportunities in accordance with the Inter-Series Policy.  Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) prevent the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or personnel, from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any other series of the Company or any other Person, including investing in, or rendering administrative services to any other series of the Company or others investing in, any type of business, whether or not the objectives or policies of any such series, other Person or entity are similar to those of the A-1 Series or the Property LP or (ii) in any way bind or restrict the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or personnel from buying, selling or trading any securities or assets for their own accounts or for the account of others for whom the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or personnel may be acting.  When making decisions where a conflict of interest may arise between the A-1 Series and any other series of the Company, the Administrative Agent will allocate sale, financing, leasing and other business opportunities in accordance with the Inter-Series Policy.  In the event the Administrative Agent believes that a matter may involve a conflict of interest that is not otherwise addressed by the Inter-Series Policy, the Administrative Agent shall submit such decision to, and shall be required to follow the decision taken by, the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board of Directors (the "Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee") with respect to such matter.   The Administrative Agent shall not have liability hereunder if it follows any such decision taken or direction given by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. 
(c)    Managers, partners, officers, employees, personnel and agents of the Administrative Agent or Affiliates of the Administrative Agent may serve as directors, officers, employees, personnel, agents, nominees or signatories for the Company, the A-1 Series and/or any Subsidiary, to the extent permitted by their Governing Instruments or by any resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Company's or such Subsidiary's Governing Instruments.  When executing documents or otherwise acting in such capacities for the Company, the A-1 Series or the Subsidiaries, such persons shall use, as applicable, their respective titles in the Company, the A-1 Series or the Subsidiaries.
Section 4.    Agency.  The Administrative Agent shall act as agent of the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries in disposing of the Property, disbursing and collecting the funds of the A-1 Series, paying the debts and fulfilling the obligations of the A-1 Series, supervising the performance of professionals engaged by or on behalf of the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries and handling, prosecuting and settling any claims of or against the A-1 Series, the Board of Directors, holders of the Company's securities associated with the A-1 Series or representatives or property of the A-1 Series.  Upon any termination or expiration of the term of the Asset Management Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act as agent of the Subsidiaries in leasing and financing the Property, disbursing and collecting the funds of the Subsidiaries, paying the debts and fulfilling the obligations of the Subsidiaries, supervising the performance of professionals engaged by or on behalf of the Subsidiaries and handling, prosecuting and settling any claims of or against the Subsidiaries or representatives or property of the Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the term of the Asset Management Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not act as agent for the Property LP and its subsidiaries in connection with any of the foregoing activities that overlap with or conflict with the services to be provided by and delegated to the Asset Manager.
Section 5.    Bank Accounts.  At the direction of the Board of Directors, in the case of the A-1 Series, or the REIT General Partner and the Fortis General Partner, in the case of the Property LP and its subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of the A-1 Series or any Subsidiary, as applicable (any such account, an "A-1 Series Account"), and may collect and deposit funds into any such A-1 Series Account or A-1 Series Accounts, and disburse funds from any such A-1 Series Account or A-1 Series Accounts, under such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors and the General Partners, as applicable, may approve; and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board of Directors and the General Partners, as applicable, and, upon request, to the auditors of the Company, the A-1 Series or any Subsidiary.
Section 6.    Records; Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain appropriate books of accounts and records relating to the Services, and such books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by representatives of the Company, the A-1 Series, the General Partners or any Subsidiary at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice.  The Administrative Agent shall keep confidential any and all information obtained in connection with the Services and shall not disclose any such information (or use the same except in furtherance of its duties under this Agreement) to unaffiliated third parties except (i) with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors or the General Partners, as applicable; (ii) to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors engaged to provide services to the A-1 Series or the Subsidiaries; (iii) to appraisers, financing sources and others in the ordinary course of the A-1 Series' or the Subsidiaries' business; (iv) to governmental officials having jurisdiction over the Company, the A-1 Series, the General Partners or any Subsidiary; (v) in connection with any governmental or regulatory filings of the Company, the A-1 Series, the General Partners or any Subsidiary or disclosure or presentations to the Company's shareholders or prospective shareholders; (vi) as required by law or legal process to which the Administrative Agent or any Person to whom disclosure is permitted hereunder is a party; or (vii) to the extent such information is otherwise publicly available.  The foregoing shall not apply to information which has previously become publicly available through the actions of a Person other than the Administrative Agent not resulting from the Administrative Agent's violation of this Section 6.  The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of one year.
Section 7.    Obligations of Administrative Agent; Restrictions.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall refrain from any action that, in its sole judgment made in good faith, (i) is not in compliance with the Inter-Series Policy, (ii) would adversely and materially affect the status of the A-1 Series as a REIT under the Code, (iii) would adversely and materially affect the Company's or any Subsidiary's status as an entity intended to be exempted or excluded from investment company status under the Investment Company Act or (iv) would violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, the A‐1 Series, the General Partners or any Subsidiary or that would otherwise not be permitted by the Company's or any Subsidiary's Governing Instruments.  If the Administrative Agent is ordered to take any such action by the Board of Directors or the General Partners, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Board of Directors or the General Partners, as applicable, of the Administrative Agent's judgment that such action would adversely and materially affect such status or violate any such law, rule or regulation or the Governing Instruments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, its directors, members, officers, stockholders, managers, personnel, employees and any Person controlling or controlled by the Administrative Agent and any Person providing supporting services to the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the A-1 Series or any Subsidiary, the Board of Directors, the General Partners, or the Company's or any Subsidiary's shareholders, members or partners, for any act or omission by the Administrative Agent, its directors, officers, stockholders, personnel or employees except as provided in Section 11 of this Agreement.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain "errors and omissions" insurance coverage and other insurance coverage which is customarily carried by administrative agents performing functions similar to those of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to properties similar to the Property, in an amount which is comparable to that customarily maintained by other administrative agents of similar properties.
Section 8.    Compensation.
(a)    The A-1 Series and the Property LP shall be jointly responsible for paying the Administrative Agent the Initial Administrative Services Fee upon the effective date of this Agreement.
(b)    The A-1 Series and the Property LP shall be jointly responsible for paying the Administrative Agent the Quarterly Administrative Services Fee quarterly in arrears commencing with the fiscal quarter in which this Agreement was executed (with such initial payment pro-rated based on the number of days during such quarter that this Agreement was in effect).
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall compute each installment of the Quarterly Administrative Services Fee within 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter with respect to which such installment is payable.  A copy of the computations made by the Administrative Agent to calculate such installment shall thereafter promptly be delivered to the Board of Directors and the General Partners and, upon such delivery, payment of such installment of the Quarterly Administrative Services Fee shown therein shall be due and payable in cash no later than the date which is five business days after the date of delivery of such computations to the Board of Directors and the General Partners.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i)    prior to the Redemption Right Date, installments of the Quarterly Administrative Services Fee payable in respect of a fiscal quarter shall accrue in arrears, but shall not be paid, unless and until the Property LP has distributed, in respect of any issued and outstanding OP Units held by the REIT General Partner, an amount of available cash generated by the Property LP during such fiscal quarter equal to or greater than (i) the Series A-1 Common REIT Share Preference Amount in respect of any prior quarters and (ii) the Series A-1 Common REIT Share Preference Amount in respect of the current quarter; and 
(ii)    in the event that, following any fiscal quarter, the Property LP does not have sufficient funds to pay the entire accrued and unpaid Quarterly Administrative Services Fee to the Administrative Agent hereunder and the entire accrued and unpaid Quarterly Asset Management Fee to the Asset Manager under the Asset Management Agreement, then any amounts that shall be paid by the Property LP in respect of such fees shall be paid, pro rata, based on the accrued and unpaid amounts of such fees as of the end of such quarter.
(d)    Following a Property Sale, the A-1 Series and the Property LP, jointly and severally, shall pay the Administrative Agent the Administrative Sale Fee; provided, however, that no Administrative Sale Fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Property Sale that occurs during the first year following the effective date of this Agreement if the total consideration paid by the purchaser (including any indebtedness assumed by the purchaser) in connection with the disposition of the A-1 Series' interest in the Property LP or the Property or in respect of the Series A-1 Common Shares tendered pursuant to the purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer related to such Property Sale, as applicable, is less than the aggregate cash contribution paid by the A-1 Series in connection with the acquisition of its equity interest in Lincoln Street Mezz, LLC, the predecessor to the Property LP, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.
Section 9.    Expenses.  
(a)    The A-1 Series and the Property LP, jointly and severally, shall pay (i) all fees, costs and expenses related to non-ordinary course business and operations of the Company and the A-1 Series; provided, however, that any such expenses that are not consistent with the Property LP's then approved annual operating budget shall not be reimbursable with cash generated by the Property's operations without the approval of each of the General Partners; and (ii) all property-level fees, costs and expenses of the Company, the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries consistent with the Property LP's then approved annual operating budget or as otherwise approved by each of the General Partners (provided that, to the extent the Administrative Agent causes such fees, costs and expenses to be incurred by the Company, the A-1 Series or the Subsidiaries (or advances such fees, costs and expenses on behalf of the Company, the A-1 Series or the Subsidiaries), such fees, costs and expenses are incurred in accordance with the allocation of authority between the Administrative Agent and the Asset Manager in the manner provided in the last paragraph of Section 2(d) above), in each case, other than those specifically required to be borne by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement ("Expenses").  Subject to the foregoing, Expenses shall include, but not be limited to: 
(i)    the actual cost of goods and services used by the A-1 Series and any of the Subsidiaries, obtained from entities that are not Affiliates of the Administrative Agent
(ii)    fees, costs and expenses of asset managers and property managers performing property management and leasing services for the Property, including the fees, costs and expenses of the Asset Manager pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement;
(iii)    costs associated with property-level insurance required in connection with the business of the A-1 Series;
(iv)    expenses associated with the listing of the Series A-1 Common Shares (or any other securities of the Company associated with the A-1 Series or of any Subsidiary) on the NASDAQ or other national securities exchange;
(v)    expenses associated with the formation of the A-1 Series and any of the Subsidiaries;
(vi)    expenses associated with the offering, issuance and distribution of Series A-1 Common Shares (or any other any other securities of the Company associated with the A-1 Series or of any Subsidiary), such as selling commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, listing and registration fees;
(vii)    expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting, modifying or terminating the A-1 Series and any Subsidiary; 
(viii)    expenses related to the preparation, printing and mailing of any proxy statements or other SEC filings in connection with any shareholder proposal, disposition, tender offer or redemption relating to the Property, the Property LP or the A-1 Series.
(ix)    expenses related to the preparation, printing and mailing of other property-level reports required by governmental entities; 
(x)    property-level service expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates in fulfilling its duties hereunder at the property level, including reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly involved in the performance of such services; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of such employees of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to the extent that such employees perform services for which the Administrative Agent receives compensation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
(xi)    property-level accounting and legal fees.
(b)    To the extent the Administrative Agent advances any Expenses, the A-1 Series and the Property LP shall, jointly and severally, reimburse the Administrative Agent for all documented Expenses incurred on behalf of the A-1 Series and/or the Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
(c)    To the extent any Expenses are allocable to both the A-1 Series and any other series of the Company, such Expenses shall be allocated to the A-1 Series and such other series in accordance with the Inter-Series Policy.
(d)    The Administrative Agent may, at its option, elect not to seek reimbursement for certain Expenses during a given month, which determination shall not be deemed to construe a waiver of reimbursement for similar Expenses in future periods.  
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), the A-1 Series and the Property LP shall not pay, and shall not be obligated to reimburse, the Administrative Agent for non-property level expenses of the A-1 Series or the Subsidiaries associated with the ordinary course business and operations of the Company and the A-1 Series, including the fees, costs and expenses of third parties and Affiliates of the Administrative Agent associated with such non-property level expenses, and the Administrative Agent will pay such non-property level expenses on behalf of the A-1 Series or the Subsidiaries.  Such non-reimbursed expenses shall include (i) accounting and other expenses related to the administration of non-property-level audits (including the fees and expenses of the accountants of the A-1 Series); (ii) except as set forth above in Section 9(a)(viii), the preparation, printing and mailing of all filings made by the Company under the Exchange Act, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, and proxy statements;  and (iii) insurance for the Company's directors and officers (unless any such director or officer of the Company is associated solely with the A-1 Series).
(f)    The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement to the extent such Expenses have previously been incurred or are incurred in connection with such expiration or termination.
Section 10.    Calculation and Reimbursement of Expenses.  The Administrative Agent shall prepare a statement documenting the Expenses of the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries and the Expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries during each month, and shall deliver such statement to the Company and the Property LP within 45 days after the end of each month.  Reimbursable Expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries, including reimbursable Expenses allocated to the A-1 Series and the Property LP pursuant to Section 9 above, shall be reimbursed by the A-1 Series and the Property LP to the Administrative Agent on the fifth business day immediately following the date of delivery of such statement; provided, however, that such reimbursements may be offset by the Administrative Agent against amounts due to the A-1 Series and the Subsidiaries.  The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
Section 11.    Limits of Administrative Agent Responsibility; Indemnification.
(a)    The Administrative Agent assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the Services and shall not be responsible for any action of the Board of Directors or the General Partners in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the Administrative Agent, including as set forth in Section 7(a) of this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent, its officers, stockholders, members, managers, directors, employees, consultants, personnel, any Person controlling or controlled by the Administrative Agent and any of such Person's officers, stockholders, members, managers, directors, employees, consultants and personnel, and any Person providing supporting services to the Administrative Agent (each an "Administrative Agent Indemnified Party") will not be liable to the Company, the A-1 Series or any Subsidiary, to the Board of Directors or the General Partners, or the Company's or any Subsidiary's shareholders, members or partners for any acts or omissions by any such Person, pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement, except by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Administrative Agent's duties under this Agreement, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The A-1 Series and the Property LP shall, jointly and severally, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold each Administrative Agent Indemnified Party harmless of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including attorneys' fees) in respect of or arising from any acts or omissions of such Administrative Agent Indemnified Party made in good faith in the performance of the Administrative Agent's duties under this Agreement and not constituting such Administrative Agent Indemnified Party's bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Administrative Agent's duties under this Agreement.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold the Company, the A-1 Series, any Subsidiary, the General Partners, the shareholders, members and partners of the Company and any Subsidiary and each other Person, if any, controlling the Company (each, a "Company Indemnified Party") harmless of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including attorneys' fees) in respect of or arising from the Administrative Agent's bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or any claims by ETRE Financial's personnel relating to the terms and conditions of their employment by the Administrative Agent or ETRE Financial, as applicable.
(c)    An Indemnitee will promptly notify the party against whom indemnity is claimed (the "Indemnitor") of any claim for which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability which it may have hereunder, except to the extent such failure actually prejudices the Indemnitor.  The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, that the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee of its election to assume such defense and settlement within 30 days after the Indemnitee gives the Indemnitor notice of the claim.  In such case, the Indemnitee will not settle or compromise such claim, and the Indemnitor will not be liable for any such settlement made without its prior written consent.  If the Indemnitor is entitled to, and does, assume such defense by delivering the aforementioned notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will (i) have the right to approve the Indemnitor's counsel (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) be obligated to cooperate in furnishing evidence and testimony and in any other manner in which the Indemnitor may reasonably request and (iii) be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense.
Section 12.    No Joint Venture.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make the A-1 Series, the Property LP and the Administrative Agent partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on any of them.  
Section 13.    Term; Termination.
(a)    This Agreement shall have an indefinite term; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated as provided in Section 13(b) below and in Section 15. 
(b)    In the event of a Property Sale, this Agreement shall terminate upon payment in full of the applicable Administrative Sale Fee.  In the event of a Redemption, the Administrative Agent may terminate this Agreement, with such termination deemed to have occurred upon the consummation of such redemption.
(c)    If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 13 or Section 15, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in Section 6, Section 9, Section 10 and Section 13(b) of this Agreement.  In addition, Section 11 and Section 21 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 14.    Assignment.
(a)    Except as set forth in Section 14(b) of this Agreement, this Agreement may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by the Administrative Agent, unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the A-1 Series and the Property LP with the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) and, prior to the Fortis Stepdown Date, the Fortis General Partner.  Any such permitted assignment shall bind the assignee under this Agreement in the same manner as the Administrative Agent is bound.  In addition, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the A-1 Series and the Property LP a counterpart of this Agreement naming such assignee as Administrative Agent.  Except as set forth in Section 14(c) of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be assigned by the A-1 Series or the Property LP without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, except in the case of assignment by the A-1 Series or the Property LP to another entity which is a successor (by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, or similar transaction) to the A-1 Series or the Property LP, as applicable, in which case such successor entity shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of such assignment in the same manner as the A-1 Series or the Property LP, as applicable, is bound under this Agreement.
(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may subcontract and assign any or all of its responsibilities under Section 2(c), Section 2(e) and Section 2(f) of this Agreement to any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement applicable to any such subcontract or assignment, and each of the A-1 Series and, to the extent the prior approval of the Fortis General Partner is not otherwise required in connection with such assignment or subcontracting, the Property LP hereby consents to any such assignment and subcontracting.  In addition, provided that the Administrative Agent provides prior written notice to the A-1 Series for informational purposes only, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates with the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors and a majority of the Independent Directors and, prior to the Fortis Stepdown Date, the Fortis General Partner. In addition, the Administrative Agent may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Board of Directors or the Fortis General Partner.  
(c)    In connection with a Redemption, all rights and obligations of the A-1 Series under this Agreement shall be automatically assigned to the Property LP, unless the Administrative Agent elects to terminate this Agreement in connection with such redemption.
