Standard of Liability and Indemnity Subject to Section 2 hereof, DWR and its affiliates (as defined below) shall not be liable to the Customer, the General Partner or Limited Partners, or any of its or their respective successors or assigns, for any act, omission, conduct, or activity undertaken by or on behalf of the Customer pursuant to this Agreement which DWR determines, in good faith, to be in the best interests of the Customer, unless such act, omission, conduct, or activity by DWR or its affiliates constituted misconduct or negligence. The Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless DWR and its affiliates from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses incurred in the defense of any demands, claims, or lawsuits) actually and reasonably incurred arising from any act, omission, conduct or activity undertaken by DWR on behalf of the Customer pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any demands, claims or lawsuits initiated by a Limited Partner (or assignee thereof), provided that (i) DWR has determined, in good faith, that the act, omission, conduct, or activity giving rise to the claim for indemnification was in the best interests of the Customer, and (ii) the act, omission, conduct, or activity that was the basis for such loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense was not the result of misconduct or negligence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, neither DWR nor any of its affiliates shall be indemnified by the Customer for any losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (a) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee, or (b) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee, or (c) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made, provided, with regard to such court approval, the indemnitee must apprise the court of the position of the SEC, and the positions of the respective securities administrators of Massachusetts, Missouri, Tennessee and/or those other states and jurisdictions in which the plaintiffs claim they were offered or sold Units, with respect to indemnification for securities laws violations before seeking court approval for indemnification. Furthermore, in any action or proceeding brought by a Limited Partner in the right of the Customer to which DWR or any affiliate thereof is a party defendant, any such person shall be indemnified only to the extent and subject to the conditions specified in this Section 8.

DWR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Customer and its successors or assigns from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses (including in connection with the defense or settlement of claims; provided DWR has approved such settlement) incurred as a result of the activities of DWR or its affiliates, provided, further, that the act, omission, conduct, or activity giving rise to the claim for indemnification was the result of bad faith, misconduct or negligence. The indemnities provided in this Section 8 by the Customer to DWR and its affiliates shall be inapplicable in the event of any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses arising out of, or based upon, any material breach of any warranty, covenant, or agreement of DWR contained in this Agreement to the extent caused by such breach. Likewise, the indemnities provided in this Section 8 by DWR to the Customer and any of its successors and assigns shall be inapplicable in the event of any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses arising out of, or based upon, any material breach of any warranty, covenant, or agreement of the Customer contained in this Agreement to the extent caused by such breach.
