12.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and other Affiliates of NRI and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of its Affiliates.

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.

Article 13
THE NRI NAME

The Advisor, NRI and their Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the acronym “NRI”. The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the acronym “NRI” during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain NRI or an Affiliate thereof to perform the services of Advisor, the Company (including the General Partner) will, promptly after receipt of written request from NRI, cease to conduct business under or use the name Nolan Reynolds International or the acronym “NRI” 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 acronym “NRI” or any other letters, 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 acronym “NRI”. 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 “NRI” 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.

14.04 Payments on Termination and Survival of Certain Rights and Obligations.

14.05 Repurchase of Units.

The Company shall repurchase or redeem the Limited Partnership Interests held by the Advisor or any of the Advisor’s affiliates as required by the Limited Partnership Agreement.

Article 15
ASSIGNMENT

Article 16
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

16.01 Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective managers, officers, directors, 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, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Florida, the Charter, Bylaws or Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Company, provided that: (i) the Advisor and its Affiliates have determined that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company, (ii) the Advisor and its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company, (iii) the indemnified claim was not the result of gross negligence, misconduct, or fraud of the indemnified person or resulted from a breach of the agreement by the Advisor, and (iv) in the event the loss, liability or expense arises from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by the Advisor or its Affiliates, the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 of the Limited Partnership Agreement must be satisfied (deeming, for purposes of this Agreement, that the Advisor or its Affiliates are each an “Indemnitee” as such term is used in such clauses) for the Company to provide such indemnification. Any indemnification of the Advisor may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from the Stockholders.

16.02 Indemnification by the Advisor. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company 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 Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties, but the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board of Directors in following or declining to follow any of the Advisor’s advice or recommendation. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT BE CONSTRUED AND APPLIED AS WRITTEN NOTWITHSTANDING ANY RULE OF CONSTRUCTION TO THE CONTRARY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE INDEMNITIES SHALL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, AND TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY STATE’S “EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE” OR SIMILAR RULE THAT WOULD DENY COVERAGE BASED ON AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S SOLE, CONCURRENT OR CONTRIBUTORY ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, APPLY TO AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S SOLE, CONCURRENT OR CONTRIBUTORY ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS PROVISION IS “CONSPICUOUS” FOR PURPOSES OF ALL STATE LAWS.

16.03 Advisor’s Liability

(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 16.3(i) shall not be deemed to release Advisor from liability for its gross negligence.

(ii) The Company shall not object to any expenditures made by the Advisor in good faith in the course of its performance of its obligations under this Agreement or in settlement of any claim arising out of the operation of the Company unless such expenditure is specifically prohibited by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 16.03(ii) shall not be deemed to release Advisor from liability for its gross negligence.

(iii) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES BASED ON LOSS OF INCOME, PROFIT OR SAVINGS OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF THE OTHER PARTY OR PERSON, INCLUDING THIRD PARTIES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE, AND ALL SUCH DAMAGES ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT WILL ADVISOR’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EVER EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES IT ACTUALLY RECEIVES FROM THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 9.

(iv) THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE RELEASE FROM LIABILITY SET FORTH IN SECTION 16.03 BE CONSTRUED AND APPLIED AS WRITTEN NOTWITHSTANDING ANY RULE OF CONSTRUCTION TO THE CONTRARY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE RELEASE FROM LIABILITY SHALL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY STATE’S “EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE” OR 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. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS PROVISION IS “CONSPICUOUS” FOR PURPOSES OF ALL STATE LAWS.
