(3) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against an Underwriter or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Underwriter or such person shall promptly notify the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses;provided,however, that the omission to so notify the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, shall not relieve the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, from any liability which the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, may have to the Underwriter or any such person or otherwise. The Underwriter or such person shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Underwriter or of such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, (in which case the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). Each of the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with the written consent of the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, the Company or the Adviser, as appropriate, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and any such person from

and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of its counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the Adviser, their directors, partners and officers, and any person who controls the Company and the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of any investigation incurred in connection therewith) which, jointly or severally, the Company, the Adviser, or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information concerning the Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), the Pricing Prospectus together with the Pricing Information, or the Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus together with the Pricing Information or the Prospectus or necessary to make such information not misleading.

If any Proceeding is brought against the Company, the Adviser, or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Underwriter pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Company, the Adviser, or such person shall promptly notify the Underwriter in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and the Underwriter shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses;provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Underwriter shall not relieve the Underwriter from any liability which the Underwriter may have to the Company, the Adviser, or any such person or otherwise. The Company, the Adviser, or such person shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, the Adviser, or such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Underwriter in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the Underwriter shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably

concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to or in conflict with those available to the Underwriter (in which case the Underwriter shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties, but the Underwriter may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Underwriter), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Underwriter and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The Underwriter shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without the written consent of the Underwriter but if settled with the written consent of the Underwriter, the Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any such person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for the fees and expenses of its counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 8 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Adviser on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above 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 and the Adviser on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Adviser on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Adviser on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or

alleged omission relates to information supplied by such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(d) The Company, the Adviser and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (c) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by the Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damage which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company and the Adviser contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, its partners, directors or officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or any affiliate of the Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Act that is involved in the offering of the Securities, or any successors or assigns of all of the foregoing persons, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Securities. The Company, the Adviser and the Underwriter agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company or the Adviser, against any of the Company’s officers or directors, the Adviser and its partners or officers in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities, or in connection with the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus.

Each of the Company and the Adviser agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Adviser, as appropriate, and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company and the Adviser, as appropriate, is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.
