12.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. In the event an investment opportunity is located, the allocation procedure set forth under the caption “Conflicts of Interest—Competitive Activities of Xxxxx and its Affiliates” in any Prospectus (as may be amended from time to time) shall govern the allocation of the opportunity among the Company and Affiliates of the Advisor.

ARTICLE 13

THE XXXXX NAME

The Advisor, Xxxxx and their Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “Xxxxx”. The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name “Xxxxx” during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain Xxxxx or an Affiliate thereof to perform the services of Advisor, the Company (including the General Partner) will, promptly after receipt of written request from Xxxxx, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Xxxxx” or any derivative thereof and the Company and the General Partner shall change the name of the Company and the General Partner to a name that does not contain the name “Xxxxx” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof. At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Xxxxx”. Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “Xxxxx” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company or the General Partner.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall the Company make any claim against Advisor, or its Affiliates, on account of any good faith interpretation by Advisor of the provisions of this Agreement (even if such interpretation is later determined to be a breach of this Agreement) or any alleged errors in judgment made in good faith and in accordance with this Agreement in connection with the operation of the operations of the Company hereunder by Advisor or the performance of any advisory or technical services provided by or arranged by the Advisor. The provisions of this Section 16.03(i) shall not be deemed to release Advisor from liability for its gross negligence.

SIMILAR RULE THAT WOULD DENY COVERAGE BASED ON A PERSON’S SOLE, CONCURRENT OR CONTRIBUTORY ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN SECTION 16.03, THE RELEASE FROM LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, APPLY TO A RELEASED PERSON’S SOLE, CONCURRENT OR CONTRIBUTORY ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY.
