(c) Indemnification by Company. The Company shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Manager, its Affiliates, and the directors, members, managers, officers, employees and stockholders of the Manager and its Affiliates (each, a "Manager Indemnified Party"), of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (collectively "Losses"), in respect of or arising from any acts or omissions of such Manager Indemnified Party performed under this Agreement and, in respect of any such Manager Indemnified Party, not constituting willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties of such Manager Indemnified Party under this Agreement.
(d) Indemnification by Manager. The Manager shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and the trustees, officers and shareholders of the Company and its Affiliates and each Person, if any, controlling the Company (each, a "Company Indemnified Party"; a Manager Indemnified Party and a Company Indemnified Party are each sometimes hereinafter referred to as an "Indemnified Party") of and from any and all Losses in respect of or arising from (i) any acts or omissions of the Manager constituting willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties of the Manager under this Agreement or (ii) any claims by employees of the Manager or any of its Affiliates relating to the terms and conditions of their employment by the Manager or such Affiliate.

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, which notice shall include all documents and information in the possession of or under the control of such Indemnified Party reasonably necessary for the evaluation and/or defense of such Claim and shall specifically state that indemnification for such Claim is being sought under this Section 8; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not limit or affect such Indemnified Party's rights to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8. 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, defend in a commercially reasonable manner any such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, which counsel may, without limiting the rights of such Indemnified Party pursuant to the next succeeding sentence of this Section 8, also represent the indemnifying party in such investigation, action or proceeding.

The applicable Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party's sole cost and expense, in connection
18
with the defense or settlement of any Claim in accordance with the terms hereof. If such Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 8 to elect to defend such Claim by counsel of its own choosing and so elects, then the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any settlement of such Claim entered into by such Indemnified Party without the indemnifying party's consent. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no Indemnified Party may pay or settle any Claim and seek reimbursement therefor under this Section 8.
(f) Survival. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any amounts payable to the Manager under this Agreement.
(b) By the Company. The Company shall not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Manager; provided, however, that any successor to the Company in any Change in Control shall be liable and responsible for the provisions of this Agreement that survive any such Change in Control or termination of this Agreement in connection therewith.
