• Indemnification of Third Party Claims The obligations and liabilities of any party to indemnify any other under this Article 6 with respect to Claims relating to third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

• Limitation on Liability; Indemnification (a) Rise assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good faith. Rise and its Affiliates, and any of their members, stockholders, managers, partners, personnel, officers, directors, employees, consultants and any person providing advisory or sub-advisory services to Rise, will not be liable to the Manager or the Manager’s stockholders, partners or members for any acts or omissions by any such Person (including errors that may result from ordinary negligence, such as errors in the investment decision making process or in the trade process) performed in accordance with and pursuant to this Agreement, except by reason of acts or omission constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of their respective duties under this Agreement, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Manager shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Rise, its Affiliates, and any of their members, stockholders, managers, partners, personnel, officers, directors, employees, consultants and any person providing advisory or sub-advisory services to Rise (each, a “Rise Indemnified Party”), of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) (collectively “Losses”) incurred by the Rise Indemnified Party in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Manager or its security holders) arising from any acts or omissions of such Rise Indemnified Party performed in good faith under this Agreement and not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties of such Rise Indemnified Party under this Agreement. (b) Rise shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Manager, and the directors, officers, stockholders, partners or members of the Manager (each, a “Manager Indemnified Party” and, together with a Rise Indemnified Party, an “Indemnified Party”) of and from any and all Losses in respect of or arising from (i) any acts or omissions of Rise constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties of Rise under this Agreement or (ii) any claims by Rise’s employees relating to the terms and conditions of their employment by Rise. Rise hereby agrees that from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, Rise shall maintain errors and omissions and other customary insurance coverage in such amounts and with such carriers as determined by Rise, in its sole discretion. (c) In case any such claim, suit, action or proceeding (a “Claim”) is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the indemnifying party; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have hereunder, except to the extent such failure actually materially prejudices the indemnifying party. Upon receipt of such notice of Claim (together with such documents and information from such Indemnified Party), the indemnifying party shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith defend any such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate but, subject to the next sentence, not control, the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. Such Indemnified Party may elect to conduct the defense of the Claim, if (i) such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the conduct of its defense by the indemnifying party could be materially prejudicial to its interests, (ii) the indemnifying party refuses to assume such defense (or fails to give written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of receipt of a notice of Claim that the indemnifying party assumes such defense), or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed, in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, to defend the Claim in good faith. The indemnifying party may settle any Claim against such Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s consent, provided, that (i) such settlement is without any Losses whatsoever to such Indemnified Party, (ii) the settlement does not include or require any admission of liability or culpability by such Indemnified Party and (iii) the indemnifying party obtains an effective written release of liability for such Indemnified Party from the party to the Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which release must be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, and a dismissal with prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party against such Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim. The applicable Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim in accordance with the terms hereof. If such Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 7 to elect to defend such Claim by counsel of its own choosing and so elects, then the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any good faith settlement of such Claim entered into by such Indemnified Party. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no Indemnified Party may pay or settle any Claim and seek reimbursement therefor under this Section 7. (d) The Manager acknowledges that the duties owed by Rise to the Manager are contractual in nature and governed by the terms of this Agreement and that Rise shall owe no fiduciary duties to the Manager or its members. (e) The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party may not settle any Claim related to the indemnity being provided hereunder without the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. (d) With regard to any Claim or Liability which is the result of the joint or concurrent fault or negligence of Seller and Buyer, the Parties agree to jointly defend any Claim with respect thereto that is based on such joint or concurrent fault or negligence of Buyer and Seller. Any Claim of contribution or indemnification between Buyer and Seller relating to such Claims shall be resolved on the basis of the percentage of fault or negligence and the Parties agree to reserve the determination of such percentage until after resolution of such Claim. Such pro rata share shall be based upon a final judicial determination of the Parties’ comparative fault or negligence or, in the absence of such determination, by mutual agreement. (e) Nothing in this Section 26.1 is intended to allow any Indemnified Party to be indemnified from and against any third party Claims and Liabilities caused by, arising out of, or in connection with the performance of this Agreement to the extent any of such Claims or Liabilities were caused by, arose out of, or were in any way incidental to or in connection with its own negligence or intentional misconduct.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the option to defend the Indemnified Party against any claim which may be the subject of this indemnification, and, in the event that the Indemnifying Party so elects, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and thereupon the Indemnifying Party shall take over complete defense of the claim and the Indemnified Party shall sustain no further legal or other expenses in respect of such claim.
