Liabilities of the Adviser. The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its Directors and officers (or former Directors and officers) and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, "Indemnitees") from all loss, cost, liability, claim, damage, or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating and defending against the same and any counsel fees reasonably incurred in connection therewith) (collectively, "Loss") incurred by any Indemnitees under the 1933 Act or under common law or otherwise which arise out of or are based upon or are a result of (i) the Adviser's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of its duties, or (ii) the reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or that of its officers, agents, and employees, in the performance of this Agreement. In no event shall Adviser be liable to any Indemnitee for any Loss that does not arise out of or is not based upon or is not a result of (i) the Adviser's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of its duties, or (ii) the reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or that of its officers, agents, and employees, in the performance of this Agreement. In case any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee, the Adviser shall not be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against any Indemnitee, unless the Indemnitee shall have notified the Adviser in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Indemnitee (or after the Indemnitee shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Adviser of any such claim shall not relieve it from liability to the Indemnitees against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this Section 6. The Adviser shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such liability, but if the Adviser elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Indemnitees that are defendants in the suit. In the event the Adviser elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, the Indemnitees that are defendants in the suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them, but, in case the Adviser does not elect to assume the defense of any such suit, the Adviser will reimburse the Indemnitees that are defendants in the suit for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Adviser shall promptly notify the Company of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings in connection with the issuance or sales of the shares
