Section 3. Limitations on Activities.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subadvisor Indemnitees shall not be indemnified by the Company or the Operating Partnership for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of the alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

(1)    there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee;

(2)    such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or

Section 4. Advance of Expenses. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from any Subadvisor Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any legal activities for which indemnification is being sought, advance funds to the Subadvisor Indemnitees for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(d) the Subadvisor Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Subadvisor Indemnitee is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

Section 5. Indemnification by the Company and the Operating Partnership. Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall indemnify any Subadvisor Indemnitee for any loss or liability suffered by the Subadvisor Indemnitee, or hold the Subadvisor Indemnitee harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, except as permitted under Sections 3 and 4 hereof.

Section 6. Indemnification by the Subadvisor. The Subadvisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys' fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason

of the bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of any Subadvisor Indemnitee.

Section 7. Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Subadvisor Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 hereof for any activity which the Subadvisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

(b) Any amounts paid pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall be recoverable or paid only out the net assets of the Company and not from shareholders of the Company.
