Without the prior written consent of the Park View Entities, the Manager, with respect to the Park View Entities, shall not (i) enter into any lease pursuant to which the determination of any rent to be received (directly or indirectly) by the Park View Entities depends in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person (other than amounts based upon a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales); (ii) enter into any lease pursuant to which the Park View Entities shall receive (directly or indirectly) rents attributable to personal property except for a lease pursuant to which the personal property is leased in connection with the lease of real property and the rent attributable to the personal property for any taxable year does not exceed 15% of the total rent for such year with respect to such lease; (iii) enter into any arrangement pursuant to which the Park View Entities would receive (directly or indirectly) any “impermissible tenant service income” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(7) of the Code; (iv) undertake any sales or dispositions of property as a dealer for federal income tax purposes which sales would be treated as “prohibited transactions” pursuant to Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code; or (v) otherwise engage in any transaction which would, or likely would, result in the Park View Entities receiving more than a de minimis amount of Bad REIT Income or owning more than a de minimis amount of Bad REIT Assets. In structuring the Park View Entities transactions, the Manager and the Park View Entities shall consider the use of a taxable REIT subsidiary (each a “TRS”) or an affiliate of a TRS (together with a TRS, each a “TRS Entity”) to own or lease all or portions of the Property or to perform certain services with respect to the Property to minimize the impact of Bad REIT Income.

Upon such election by the Park View Entities, the Manager will cooperate to facilitate the implementation of the TRS Lease or TRS Services Agreement, including, without limitation, entering into an agreement to provide similar services (but not duplicative) to such TRS Entity as under this Agreement, and any corresponding amendment to this Agreement to take into account such TRS Entity, and the Park View Entities shall have the right to cause such TRS Entity to pay its allocated share of the fees and expenses payable to the Manager hereunder. The form of such agreement, and any corresponding amendments to this Agreement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Manager and the Park View Entities.

of its commission or omission, the Manager (or such Affiliate) will have a total of 180 days in which to cure such damage before the management agreement shall become terminable; or
(v) the dissolution of the Manager.
13.02 Termination by the Manager. The Manager may terminate this Agreement if the Company becomes required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, with such termination deemed to occur immediately before such event. The Manager may decline to renew this Agreement by providing the Park View Entities with 180 days’ written notice prior to the expiration of the initial term or the then current automatic renewal term. In addition, if the Park View Entities default in the performance of any material term of this Agreement and the default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Park View Entities specifying such default and requesting the same be remedied in 30 days, the Manager may terminate this Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice.

(ii) The Manager shall promptly upon termination:
(a) pay over to the Park View Entities all money collected and held for the account of the Park View Entities pursuant to this Agreement, if any, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

15.01 Indemnification. Except as prohibited by the restrictions provided in this Section 15.01, Section 15.02 and Section 15.03, the Park View Entities shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Manager and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, equity holders, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Park View Entities shall not indemnify the Manager or its Affiliates for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Park View Entities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
15.02 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Park View Entities shall not provide for indemnification of the Manager or its Affiliates for any liability or loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Park View Entities, unless all of the following conditions are met:
(i) The Manager or its Affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Park View Entities.
(ii) The Manager or its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services for the Park View Entities.
(iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Manager or its Affiliates.
(iv) Such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Park View Entities’ net assets and not from the holders of the Shares or other securities of the Park View Entities.
15.03 Limitation on Payment of Expenses. The Park View Entities shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by the Manager or its Affiliates in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding only if (in addition to the procedures required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time) all of the following are satisfied: (a) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Park View Entities, (b) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party and (c) the Manager or its Affiliates undertake to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Park View Entities, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the particular indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

15.04 Indemnification by Manager. The Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless the Park View Entities from contract or other 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 Manager’s bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however, that the Manager shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Manager.
