The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (and if it elects to exercise such right, shall do so within twenty (20) days after receiving such notice from the Indemnified Party) to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim or demand, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume control of the defense of such action only if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its indemnity obligations and assumes and holds the Indemnified Party harmless from and against all Losses resulting from such Third-Party Claim; and provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have notified the Indemnified Party of its exercise of its right to defend such Third-Party claim within such twenty (20) day period; (ii) such claim or demand seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such claim or demand or (y) the Indemnified Party has one or more defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party, (iv) such claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (v) the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, and keep the Indemnifying Party fully informed, in the defense of such claim or demand. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim or demand with counsel employed at its own expense; provided, however, that, in the case of any claim or demand described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second preceding sentence or as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim or demand, the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such claim or demand which shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if such settlement is accompanied by a document releasing the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to the matter in controversy that is binding, valid and enforceable against all applicable Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnified Party fails to object to the settlement within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a written notice from the Indemnifying Party containing the terms and condition of such settlement, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have consented to the settlement.

Failure by the Administrative Agent to respond to the Borrower by 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the day the related Funding Request is delivered by the Borrower shall constitute an implied determination that the items are incomplete or not in proper form.

Each wire transfer of an Advance to the Borrower shall be initiated by the applicable Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the applicable Funding Date.

No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series K Preferred Units except as to the holder to whom such notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law, each such notice shall state: (a) the redemption date, (b) the Redemption Price, (c) the aggregate number of Series K Preferred Units to be redeemed and if fewer than all of the outstanding Series K Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number of Series K Preferred Units to be redeemed held by such holder, which number shall equal such holder's pro rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate number of outstanding Series K Preferred Units that the total number of Series K Preferred Units held by such holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series K Preferred Units to be redeemed, (d) the place or places where such Series K Preferred Units are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, (e) that distributions on the Series K Preferred Units to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (f) that payment of the Redemption Price will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series K Preferred Units.
(ii) If the Partnership gives a notice of redemption in respect of Series K Preferred Units (which notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, the Partnership will deposit irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the Series K Preferred Units being redeemed funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such Redemption Price to the holders of the Series K Preferred Units upon surrender of the Series K Preferred Units by such holders at the place designated in the notice of redemption. On and after the date of redemption, distributions will cease to accumulate on the Series K Preferred Units or portions thereof called for redemption, unless the Partnership defaults in the payment thereof. If any date fixed for redemption of Series K Preferred Units is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Redemption Price is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Partnership, distributions on such Series K Preferred Units will continue to accumulate from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable Redemption Price.
