8.1.1 The Company (for purposes of this Article, an “Indemnifying Party”) hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Manager and each of its Affiliates, and any directors, officers, agents, subcontractors, delegatees, members, partners, shareholders, officers and employees of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including legal fees) (“Liabilities”) incurred by them or threatened in connection with any and all actions, suits, investigations, proceedings or claims of any kind whatsoever, whether arising under statute or action of a regulatory authority or otherwise, arising from this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder (“Claims”); provided that no Indemnified Party shall be so indemnified with respect to any Claim to the extent that such Claim is finally determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or pursuant to a settlement agreement agreed to by such Indemnified Party, to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or, in the case of a criminal matter, conduct undertaken with knowledge that the conduct was unlawful.

8.1.2 The Manager and the Company agree that in case any Claim should be made by a third party arising from this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of such Claim with counsel of its own choosing; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense and to employ its own counsel in connection therewith at the Indemnified Party’s sole expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such third-party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, as well as the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party in such case, as incurred but subject to recoupment by the Indemnifying Party if ultimately it is not liable to pay indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party will not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such third-party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

8.1.3 The Manager and the Company agree that, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any third-party Claim involving an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, where such Claim is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which this Agreement provides for indemnification, the Indemnified Party in such case shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement of such Claim (provided that any accidental failure to provide any such notice shall not prejudice the right of any such Indemnified Party hereunder, except to the extent that such failure prevents participation by the Indemnifying Party in such Claim) and, throughout the course of such Claim, the party responsible for the defense of such claim hereunder shall

use its best efforts to provide copies of all relevant documentation to the other party and shall keep the other party appraised of the progress thereof and shall discuss with the other party all significant actions proposed.

8.1.4 The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that the right to indemnity provided in this Section 8.1 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other liability which the Indemnifying Party in any particular case may have or of any other right to indemnity or contribution which any Indemnified Party may have by statute or otherwise at law.

8.1.5 The indemnity provided in this Section 8.1 shall survive the completion of Services rendered under, or any termination or purported termination of, this Agreement.

8.2 Limitation of Liability

8.2.1 The Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the Services in good faith and in accordance with Section 4.2.3 and shall not be responsible for any action of a Service Recipient in declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the Manager.

8.2.2 Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.2.3, the Company hereby agrees that no Indemnified Party shall be liable to a Service Recipient, a director or officer (or other individual with similar function) of a Service Recipient or any security holder or partner of a Service Recipient for any Liabilities that may occur as a result of any acts or omissions by the Indemnified Party pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement, except to the extent that such Liabilities are finally determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Indemnified Party’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or in the case of a criminal matter, conduct undertaken with knowledge that the conduct was unlawful. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.2.3 The maximum amount of the aggregate liability of the Manager and each of its Affiliates, and any directors, officers, agents, subcontractors, delegatees, agents, advisors or other representatives of the Manager or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement will be equal to the amounts previously paid in respect of Services pursuant to this Agreement or any agreement or arrangement provided for under this Agreement in the two most recent calendar years by the Service Recipients.
