TCI and Newco acknowledge and agree that other than the representations and warranties of the Company or the Stockholders specifically contained in this Agreement, there are no representations or warranties of the Company or the Stockholders, either express or implied, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company or its assets, liabilities and business. TCI and Newco further acknowledge and agree that, should the Funding and Consummation Date occur, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 11. TCI and Newco hereby waive, from and after the Funding and Consummation Date, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action they or any indemnified person may have against any Stockholder relating to this Agreement or the transactions arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, rule, regulation or otherwise except their rights under this Section 11.

• Indemnification by Stockholders Each Stockholder, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which a registration is being effected, agrees to, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, each other Person who participates as an Underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, each Person who controls the Company or any such Underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any other Person selling Common Shares in such Registration Statement against any and all Claims, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any preliminary, final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto) related to such registration, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Stockholder or its representative for use therein; provided, however, that the aggregate amount which any such Stockholder shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall in no event be greater than the amount of the net proceeds received by such Stockholder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Claims less all amounts previously paid by such Stockholder with respect to any such Claims. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Stockholder or Underwriter.

• Indemnification by Shareholders Each Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless REIT, its subsidiaries each of their respective trustees, directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents, in their capacity as such and each Person, if any, who controls REIT within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “REIT Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Covered Liabilities suffered, directly or indirectly, by any REIT Indemnified Party by reason of or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement under which the sale of Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act (or any amendment thereto), or any Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, or free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) related to such Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to REIT by such Shareholder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Covered Liability if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Shareholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) in no event shall the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Shareholder under this Section 5.2 exceed the net proceeds received by such Shareholder in the registered offering out of which such Covered Liability arises. The indemnity in this Section 5.2 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any REIT Indemnified Person. For the avoidance of doubt, a Shareholder is not a “REIT Indemnified Party.”

• Indemnification by Shareholder Shareholder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless INC, its subsidiaries, each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, representatives and agents, in their capacity as such and each Person, if any, who controls INC within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “INC Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Covered Liabilities suffered, directly or indirectly, by any INC Indemnified Party by reason of or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement under which the sale of Registrable Securities owned by Shareholder was registered under the Securities Act (or any amendment thereto), or any Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, or free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) related to such Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to INC by Shareholder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Covered Liability if such settlement is effected without the consent of Shareholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) in no event shall the total amounts payable in indemnity by Shareholder under this Section 4.2 exceed the net proceeds received by Shareholder in the registered offering out of which such Covered Liability arises. The indemnity in this Section 4.2 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any INC Indemnified Person. For the avoidance of doubt, Shareholder is not an “INC Indemnified Party.”

• Indemnification by Participating Shareholders Each Shareholder holding Registrable Securities included in any registration statement agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person (other than such Shareholder) if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Shareholder, but only (i) with respect to information furnished in writing by such Shareholder or on such Shareholder's behalf expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense described in Section 5.05 results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus (or, in the case of a prospectus, the prospectus as amended or supplemented) was not sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is determined that it was the responsibility of such Shareholder to provide such Person with a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) and such current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. Each such Shareholder shall be prepared, if required by the underwriting agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 5.06. As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Article 5 hereof, the Company may require that it shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold it harmless to the extent customarily provided by underwriters with respect to similar securities. No Shareholder shall be liable under Section 5.06 for any damage thereunder in excess of the net proceeds realized by such Shareholder in the sale of the Registrable Securities of such Shareholder.

• Indemnification by Designated Holders In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Designated Holder is participating pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, each such Designated Holder shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Designated Holder as the Company may reasonably request or as may be required by law for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Designated Holder not materially misleading or necessary to cause such Registration Statement not to omit a material fact with respect to such Designated Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. Each Designated Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, any underwriter retained by the Company and each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Designated Holders, but only if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information with respect to such Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus, including, without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to this Section 7(b); provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such Designated Holder pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriters' discounts and commissions) received by such Designated Holder in the offering to which the Registration Statement or prospectus relates.
