(c) By virtue of entering into a Participating Dealer Agreement or a Participating Adviser Agreement, as applicable, each Participating Dealer and Participating Adviser will severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, partners, affiliates, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any Losses to which any such person may become subject, as more fully described in each Participating Dealer Agreement and Participating Adviser Agreement.

(d) Promptly after receipt by a Dealer Manager Indemnified Person or an Company Indemnified Person (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”) under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8 (each an “Indemnifying Party”), notify such Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person unless such failure materially affects or prejudices such Indemnifying Party. If any such claim or action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and an Indemnifying Party is notified thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation in connection with the defense. The Indemnified Person will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, provided that the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Person has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the Indemnified Person) between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Person) or (iii) the Indemnifying Party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party or Parties. No compromise or settlement of any claim may be effected by an Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Person’s prior consent, unless (i) such compromise or settlement does not include a finding or admission by the Indemnified Person of any violation of any law, rule or regulation or any violation of the rights of any person, (ii) each Indemnified Person is unconditionally released from all liability arising therefrom, and (iii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

9. Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, from the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Participating Dealer Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Participating Dealer Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees received by the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, bear to the aggregate initial price of the Shares as set forth in the Memorandum.

(b) The relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer, respectively, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company, the Dealer Manager or Participating Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(c) The Company, the Dealer Manager and Participating Dealer (by virtue of entering into the Participating Dealer Agreement) agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above in this Section 9. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person and referred to above in this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 9, the Dealer Manager’s Indemnified Persons shall have the same rights to contribution of the Dealer Manager, and the Company’s Indemnified Persons shall have the same rights to contribution of the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Participating Dealer shall be required to contribute any amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold to the public by such Participating Dealer exceeds the amount of any damages which such Participating Dealer would have otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

10. Survival of Provisions. The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect until the Termination Date. Following the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement will become void and there will be no liability of any party to any other party hereto, except for obligations under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 (including the sections referenced therein for purposes of such surviving section), all of which will, subject to their respective terms, survive the termination of this Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Adviser may terminate the Adviser Exclusivity immediately upon delivery of written notice of such termination to the Dealer Manager in the event that:

(1) the Dealer Manager’s license or registration to act as a broker-dealer is revoked or suspended by FINRA, the SEC or any other regulatory agency or the Dealer Manager is otherwise prohibited from selling the securities of Company in any U.S. state or territory for regulatory or other reasons, and such revocation, suspension or prohibition is not cured within sixty (60) days of the date of such occurrence;

(2) the Dealer Manager is (A) charged with a felony or reasonably alleged to have violated any material rule or regulation of the SEC, FINRA or any other regulatory body or (B) formally charged with or becomes subject to a formal investigation related to a felony or any violation of any material law, rule or regulation of the SEC, FINRA or any other regulatory body;

(5) the Services Agreement dated of even date herewith among the Company, the Investment Adviser, and S2K Servicing, LLC is terminated by the Investment Adviser pursuant to Section 12(a) thereof.

14. Miscellaneous.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and any matters arising out of or relating in any way whatsoever to this Agreement (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

Any such modification, invalidity or unenforceability shall be strictly limited both to such provision and to such jurisdiction, and in each case to no other. Furthermore, in the event of any such modification, invalidity or unenforceability, this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to achieve the intent expressed herein to the greatest extent possible in the jurisdiction in question and otherwise as set forth herein.

(g) Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. The Parties agree that any action or proceeding arising directly, indirectly, or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to, or from this Agreement, any breach hereof, or any transaction covered hereby, shall be resolved within the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and State of New York.
