Indemnification by Customer Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MSIL 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 MSIL on behalf of Customer, including, without limitation, any demands, claims or lawsuits initiated by a limited partner (or assignee thereof); provided that (i) MSIL 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 the foregoing, no indemnification of MSIL or its affiliates by Customer shall be permitted for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of any alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee, or (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee, or (iii) 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 that 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 Customer to which MSIL 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 the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended, and this Section 2. The Customer shall make advances to MSIL or its affiliates hereunder only if: (i) the demand, claim lawsuit or legal action relates to the performance of duties or services by such persons to Customer; (ii) such demand, claim lawsuit or legal action is not initiated by a limited partner; and (iii) such advances are repaid, with interest at the legal rate under Delaware law, if the person receiving such advance is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
