Indemnification of Shareholders If any Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series is held personally liable solely by reason of his or her being or having been a Shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason, the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his or her heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or, in the case of any entity, its general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets belonging to the applicable Series to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability. The Trust, on behalf of the affected Series, shall, upon request by such Shareholder or former Shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against him or her for any act or obligation of the Series and satisfy any judgment thereon from the assets belonging to the Series.
Indemnification of Sellers Parent, LuxCo and BHN, jointly and severally hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, each of its Affiliates, and each of its members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents and permitted assignees (the “Sellers Indemnitees”) against and in respect of any Losses incurred or sustained by any Sellers Indemnitee as a result of any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of LuxCo contained herein. The total payments made by Parent, LuxCo or BHN to Sellers Indemnitees with respect to Losses shall not exceed the Indemnifiable Loss Limit; provided, however, Sellers Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.2 unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses to Sellers Indemnitees equals at least the Basket, at which time, subject to the Indemnifiable Loss Limit, the Sellers Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for the total amount of such Losses. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 10.2, any Losses incurred by any Sellers Indemnitee arising out of the failure of Parent, LuxCo or BHN to perform any covenant or obligation to be performed by it at or after the Closing Date including payment of the Purchase Price, shall not be subject to or applied against the Indemnifiable Loss Limit or the Basket, respectively.
Indemnification of Members No member will be liable, responsible, or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to the members for any action taken or failure to act on behalf of the Company unless the action or omission was an intentional breach of this Agreement or constituted gross negligence, bad faith, or wanton or willful misconduct (collectively “Misconduct”). Except with respect to Misconduct, the Company will, to the fullest extent permitted under the Act, indemnify and hold harmless the members from any loss, damage, liability, or expense incurred or sustained by them by reason of any act performed or any omission for or on behalf of the Company, including any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other costs and expenses (which may be advanced by the Company), incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding, or claim.

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.

Indemnification of the Purchaser Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6, SMSA will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and his representatives and agents (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by SMSA in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against Purchaser in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of SMSA who is not an Affiliate of Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is pleaded with particularity as follows and based upon a breach of Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).

Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by SMSA in writing, (ii) SMSA has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of SMSA and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case SMSA shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. SMSA will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without SMSA’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
Indemnification Matters The Company hereby acknowledges that one (1) or more of the directors nominated to serve on the Board of Directors by the Investors (each a “Fund Director”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more of the Investors and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (a) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such Fund Director are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Fund Director are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Fund Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Fund Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Fund Director), without regard to any rights such Fund Director may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (c) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any such Fund Director with respect to any claim for which such Fund Director has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Fund Director against the Company.
