                1.7           The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Company will not conflict with or constitute a default under any charter, bylaw, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company, except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 4 of this Agreement may be limited under applicable securities laws.

                2.4           If at any time when a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act any event occurs as a result of which, in the opinion of either the Company or the Dealer Manager, the Prospectus or any other prospectus then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or, in view of the circumstances under which they were made, omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Dealer Manager thereof (unless the information shall have been received from the Dealer Manager) and will effect the preparation of an amended or supplemental prospectus which will correct such statement or omission.  The Company will then promptly prepare such amended or supplemental prospectus or prospectuses as may be necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

3.             Obligations and Compensation of Dealer Manager

                3.1           The Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its agent and principal distributor for the purpose of selling for cash up to a maximum of $2,475,000,000 in Shares through Dealers, all of whom shall be members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”).  The Dealer Manager may also sell Shares for cash directly to its own clients and customers at the public offering price and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus.  The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and distributorship and agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares on said terms and conditions.  The Dealer Manager represents to the Company that (a) it is a member of the NASD; (b) it and its employees and representatives have all required licenses and registrations to act under this Agreement; and (c) it has established and implemented anti-money laundering compliance programs in accordance with applicable law, including applicable NASD rules, SEC rules and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 or will require that is Dealers establish such programs, reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Shares of the Company.

                3.2           Promptly after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Dealer Manager and the Dealers shall commence the offering of the Shares for cash to the public in jurisdictions in which the Shares are registered or qualified for sale or in which such offering is otherwise permitted.  The Dealer Manager and the Dealers will suspend or terminate offering of the Shares upon request of the Company at any time and will resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company.

3.3           Except as provided in the “Plan of Distribution” Section of the Prospectus, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager selling commissions as set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” Section of the Prospectus plus a dealer manager fee as set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” Section of the Prospectus.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no commissions, payments or amount whatsoever will be paid to the Dealer Manager under this Section 3.3 unless or until subscriptions for the purchase of Shares have been accepted by the Company and the gross proceeds of the Shares sold are deposited by the Company.  The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer for direct payment of commissions to such Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment of commissions to Dealers.  Notwithstanding the above, at its discretion, the Company may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of commissions to such Dealers without incurring any liability therefor.  With respect to Shares sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, the Dealer Manager agrees to reduce its dealer manager fee to the percentage, if any, of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” Section of the Prospectus.

4.             Indemnification

                4.1           The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Dealers and the Dealer Manager, their officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls such Dealer or Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Dealers or Dealer Manager, their officers and directors, or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in any Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or (ii) in any blue sky application or other document

                4.2           The Dealer Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person or firm which has signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the aforesaid parties may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereof or (ii) any Blue Sky Application, or (b) the omission to state in the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereof or in any Blue Sky Application a

5

                4.4           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the

6

commencement thereof and the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 4 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability which it may have to any indemnified party.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel.  Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 4.5) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought.  Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.

                4.5           The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party.  If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

                4.6           The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 4 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Dealer, or any person controlling any Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Manager or any officer or director thereof, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Dealer Manager, (b) delivery of any Shares and payment therefor, and (c) any termination of this Agreement.  A successor of any Dealer or of any of the parties to this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 4.

5.             Survival of Provisions

The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any termination of this Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Dealer or any person controlling the Dealer Manager or any Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company or any person controlling the Company, and (c) the acceptance of any payment for the Shares.

6.             Applicable Law; Venue

This Agreement was executed and delivered in, and its validity, interpretation and construction shall be governed by the laws of, the State of Texas; provided, however, that causes of action for violations of federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section.  Venue for any action brought hereunder shall lie exclusively in Dallas, Texas.

7.             Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts.  Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be an original contract, but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

8.             Successors and Amendment

                8.1           This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Dealer Manager and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person any right, remedy or claim, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Dealers to the extent set forth in Sections 1 and 4 hereof.

                8.2           This Agreement may be amended by the written agreement of the Dealer Manager and the Company.

9.             Term

This Agreement may be terminated by either party (a) immediately upon notice to the other party in the event that the other party shall have materially failed to comply with any of the material provisions of this Agreement on its part to be performed during the term of this Agreement or if any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of such party contained herein shall not have been materially complied with or satisfied within the times specified or (b) by either party on 60 days’ written notice.

In any case, this Agreement shall expire at the close of business on the effective date that the Offering is terminated.  The provisions of Section 4 hereof shall survive such termination.  In addition, the Dealer Manager, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall (a) promptly deposit any and all funds in its possession which were received from investors for the sale of Shares into the account or accounts designated by the Company; and (b) promptly deliver to the Company all records and documents in its possession which relate to the Offering and are not designated as dealer copies.  The Dealer Manager, at its sole expense, may make and retain copies of all such records and documents, but shall keep all such information confidential.  The Dealer Manager shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the Company to accomplish an orderly transfer of management of the Offering to a party designated by the Company.  Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager all commissions to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled under Section 3 at such time as such commissions become payable.

10.           Confirmation

The Company hereby agrees and assumes the duty to confirm on its behalf and on behalf of dealers or brokers who sell the Shares all orders for purchase of Shares accepted by the Company.  Such confirmations will comply with the rules of the SEC and the NASD, and will comply with applicable laws of such other jurisdictions to the extent the Company is advised of such laws in writing by the Dealer Manager.

11.           Suitability of Investors

The Dealer Manager will offer Shares, and in its agreements with Dealers will require that the Dealers offer Shares, only to persons who meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company and will only make offers to persons in the states in which it is advised in writing that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required.  In offering Shares, the Dealer Manager will, and in its agreements with Dealers, the Dealer Manager will require that the Dealers will, comply with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation, the provisions of Article III.C. of the NASAA REIT Guidelines.

The Dealer Manager has entered into an agreement with the Company called the Dealer Manager Agreement dated October 6, 2006, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Dealer Manager Agreement,” the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement relating to the Dealer are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth verbatim and capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Dealer Manager Agreement).  By your acceptance of this Agreement, you will become one of the Dealers referred to in the Dealer Manager Agreement and will be entitled and subject to the indemnification provisions contained in the Dealer Manager Agreement, including the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement wherein the Dealers severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each officer and director thereof, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Dealer Manager within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  Except as otherwise specifically stated herein, all terms used in this Agreement have the meanings provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement.  The Shares are offered solely through broker-dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”).

Dealer hereby agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares for cash on the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus; provided, however, that that no offers or sales shall be made in connection with the Offering until 5:30pm (CDT) on October 20, 2006.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to make Dealer an employee, agent, representative or partner of the Dealer Manager or of the Company, and Dealer is not authorized to act for the Dealer Manager or the Company or to make any representations on their behalf except as set forth in the Prospectus and such other printed information furnished to Dealer by the Dealer Manager or the Company to supplement the Prospectus (“supplemental information”).

                II.            Submission of Orders

Those persons who purchase Shares will be instructed by the Dealer to make their checks payable to “Behringer Harvard.”  Any Dealer receiving a check not conforming to the foregoing instructions shall return such check directly to such subscriber not later than the end of the next business day following its receipt.  Checks received by the Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the methods in this Article II.  The Dealer Manager may authorize Dealer if Dealer is a “$250,000 broker-dealer” to instruct its customers to make its checks for Shares subscribed for payable directly to the Dealer, in which case the Dealer will collect the proceeds of the subscriber’s checks and issue a check made payable to “Behringer Harvard.” for the aggregate amount of the subscription proceeds.  Transmittal of received investor funds will be made in accordance with the following procedures:

(a)                                  If the Dealer conducts its internal supervisory procedures at the location where subscription documents and checks are initially received, the Dealer shall forward (i) the subscription

                                                documents to the Dealer Manager and (ii) the checks to the Dealer Manager by noon of the next business day following receipt of the subscription documents and the check.

(b)                                 If the internal supervisory procedures are to be performed at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the subscription documents and check must be transmitted to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following receipt of the subscription documents and check by the Dealer.  The Final Review Office will, by the next business day following receipt of the subscription documents and check, forward both the subscription documents and check to the Dealer Manager as processing broker-dealer in order that the Dealer Manager may complete its review of the documentation and process the subscription documents and check.

If requested by the Company or the Dealer Manager, the Dealer shall obtain from subscribers for the Shares, other documentation reasonably deemed by the Company or the Dealer Manager to be required under applicable law or as may be necessary to reflect the policies of the Company or the Dealer Manager.  Such documentation may include, without limitation, subscribers’ written acknowledgement and agreement to the privacy policies of the Company or the Dealer Manager.

                III.           Pricing

Shares shall be offered to the public at the offering price of $10.00 per Share payable in cash; provided, however, that Shares shall be offered to the public pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan for a purchase price of $9.50 per Share, subject to the terms provided in the Prospectus and the Distribution Reinvestment Plan attached thereto.  Except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus or in any letter or memorandum sent to the Dealer by the Company or Dealer Manager, a minimum initial purchase of 200 Shares is required.  Except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus, additional investments may be made in cash in minimal increments of at least 2.5 Shares.  The Shares are nonassessable.  The Dealer hereby agrees to place any order for the full purchase price.

                IV.           Dealers’ Commissions

Except for discounts described in or as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” Section of the Prospectus, the Dealer’s selling commission applicable to the total public offering price of Shares sold by Dealer which it is authorized to sell hereunder is the percentage of the gross proceeds of Shares sold by it and accepted and confirmed by the Company set forth under “Selling Commissions” in the “Plan of Distribution” Section of the Prospectus, which commission will be paid by the Dealer Manager.  For these purposes, a “sale of Shares” shall occur if and only if a transaction has closed with a securities purchaser pursuant to all applicable offering and subscription documents and the Company has thereafter distributed the commission to the Dealer Manager in connection with such transaction.  The Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of commissions due until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the commission from the Company.  The Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions payable is limited solely to the proceeds of commissions receivable associated therewith.  In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager may reallow out of its dealer manager fee a marketing fee and due diligence expense reimbursement up to the limits set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” Section of the Prospectus, based on such factors as the number of Shares sold by such participating Dealer, the assistance of such participating Dealer in marketing the offering of Shares, and bona fide conference fees incurred.

The parties hereby agree that the foregoing commission is not and will not be in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission received in the sale of securities similar to the Shares, that Dealer’s interest in the offering is limited to such commission from the Dealer Manager and Dealer’s indemnity referred to in Section 4 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such commission to the Dealer.

A-2

                V.            Payment

Payments of selling commissions will be made by the Dealer Manager (or by the Company as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement) to Dealer within 30 days of the receipt by the Dealer Manager of the gross commission payments from the Company.

                VI.           Right to Reject Orders or Cancel Sales

All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by and shall only become effective upon confirmation by the Company, which reserves the right to reject any order for any or no reason.  Orders not accompanied by a Subscription Agreement and Signature Page and the required check in payment for the Shares may be rejected.  Issuance and delivery of the Shares will be made only after actual receipt of payment therefor.  If any check is not paid upon presentment, or if the Company is not in actual receipt of clearinghouse funds or cash, certified or cashier’s check or the equivalent in payment for the Shares within 15 days of sale, the Company reserves the right to cancel the sale without notice.  In the event an order is rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason, the Dealer agrees to return to the Dealer Manager any commission theretofore paid with respect to such order.

                VII.          Prospectus and Supplemental Information

Dealer is not authorized or permitted to give and will not give, any information or make any representation concerning the Shares except as set forth in the Prospectus and supplemental information.  The Dealer Manager will supply Dealer with reasonable quantities of the Prospectus, any supplements thereto and any amended Prospectus, as well as any supplemental information, for delivery to investors, and Dealer will deliver a copy of the Prospectus and all supplements thereto and any amended Prospectus to each investor to whom an offer is made prior to or simultaneously with the first solicitation of an offer to sell the Shares to an investor.  The Dealer agrees that it will not send or give any supplements thereto and any amended Prospectus to that investor unless it has previously sent or given a Prospectus and all supplements thereto and any amended Prospectus to that investor or has simultaneously sent or given a Prospectus and all supplements thereto and any amended Prospectus with such supplemental information. Dealer agrees that it will not show or give to any investor or prospective investor or reproduce any material or writing which is supplied to it by the Dealer Manager and marked “dealer only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public.  Dealer agrees that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Shares any material or writing which relates to another Company supplied to it by the Company or the Dealer Manager bearing a legend which states that such material may not be used in connection with the offer or sale of any securities other than the Company to which it relates. Dealer further agrees that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Shares any materials or writings which have not been previously approved by the Dealer Manager. Each Dealer agrees, if the Dealer Manager so requests, to furnish a copy of any revised preliminary Prospectus to each person to whom it has furnished a copy of any previous preliminary Prospectus, and further agrees that it will itself mail or otherwise deliver all preliminary and final Prospectuses required for compliance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Regardless of the termination of this Agreement, Dealer will deliver a Prospectus in transactions in the Shares for a period of 90 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement or such longer period as may be required by the Exchange Act.  On becoming a Dealer, and in offering and selling Shares, Dealer agrees to comply with all the applicable requirements under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the payment of any amount to Dealer, Dealer agrees to pay Dealer’s proportionate share of any claim, demand or liability asserted against Dealer and the other Dealers on the basis that Dealers or any of them constitute an association, unincorporated business or other separate entity, including in each case Dealer’s proportionate share of any expenses incurred in defending against any such claim, demand or liability.

A-4

(b)                                 Each party agrees to refrain from the use or disclosure of nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLB Act) of all customers who have opted out of such disclosures except as necessary to service the customers or as otherwise necessary or required by applicable law; and

(c)                                  Each party shall be responsible for determining which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving a list of such customers (the “List”) as provided by each to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. In the event either party uses or discloses nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than servicing the customer, or as otherwise required by applicable law, that party will consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights.  Each party understands that each is prohibited from using or disclosing any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures.

                XIII.        Notice

All notices will be in writing and will be duly given to the Dealer Manager when mailed to 15601 Dallas Parkway, Suite 600, Addison, Texas 75001, and to Dealer when mailed to the address specified by Dealer herein.

XV.                            Treatment Under Texas Margin Tax

The selling commission and any reallowed dealer manager fee payable to the Dealer by the Dealer Manager are intended to be and shall be treated as “flow-through funds” as that term is used in Section 171.1011(f) and (g) of the Texas Tax Code and as “sales commissions” as that term is used in Section 171.1011(g)(1) of the Texas Tax Code.  The terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the characterization of the selling commission and any reallowed dealer manager fee as “flow-through funds” for purposes of Section 171.1011(f) and (g) of the Texas Tax Code and “sales commissions” for purposes of Section 171.1011(g)(1).  The references in this paragraph to Sections of the Texas Tax Code include subsequent amendments to such Sections, and subsequent statutes with different designations that contain the same reimbursement requirements.

(a)                                  The Investment Advisor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates and their or its officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents, against all losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, including reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in defending such claims or liabilities, whether or not resulting in any liability to the Company, its affiliates and their or its officers, directors, trustees, employees or agents, which they or any of them may incur arising out of (1) the offer or sale (as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) by the Investment Advisor, or any person acting on its behalf, of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement, if such loss, claim, demand, liability, or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact, other than a statement, omission, or alleged omission by the Investment Advisor which is also, as the case may be, contained in or omitted from the Prospectus or the Registration Statement and which statement or omission was not based on information supplied to the Company by such Investment Advisor; (2) the breach by the Investment Advisor, or any person acting on its behalf, of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (3) the negligence, malpractice or malfeasance of the Investment Advisor.  This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)                                 The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investment Advisor, its officers, directors, employees and agents, against all losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in defending such claims or liabilities, which they or any of them may incur, including, but not limited to, alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but only to the extent that such losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses shall arise out of or be based upon (1) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as filed and in effect with the SEC, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application prepared or approved in writing by counsel to the Company and filed with any state regulatory agency in order to register or qualify the Shares under the securities laws thereof (the “Blue Sky applications”), or (2) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Prospectus or the Registration Statement or the Blue Sky applications, or necessary to make such statements, and any part thereof, not misleading; provided, further, that any such untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is not based on information included in any such document which was supplied to the Company, or any officer of the Company by such Investment Advisor; provided in each case that such claims or liabilities did not arise from Investment Advisor’s own negligence, malpractice or malfeasance.  This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c)                                  No indemnifying party shall be liable under the indemnity provisions contained in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above unless the party to be indemnified shall have notified such indemnifying party in writing promptly after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim served upon the party to be indemnified, but failure to notify an indemnifying party of any such claim shall not relieve it from any liabilities that it

B-6

                                                may have to the indemnified party against whom action is brought other than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above.  In the case of any such claim, if the party to be indemnified notified the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof as aforesaid, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of such claim.  If it so elects, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to any other indemnifying party or parties similarly notified, the indemnifying party has the option to assume the entire defense of the claim, with counsel who shall be satisfactory to such indemnified party and all other indemnified parties who are defendants in such action; and after notice from the indemnifying party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the retaining of such counsel by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under subparagraphs (a) and (b) above for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than for the reasonable costs of investigation.

10.           Term of Agreement.

This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which this Agreement is executed by the Company and the Investment Advisor.  The Investment Advisor and the Company may each prevent this Agreement from becoming effective, without liability to the other, by written notice before the time this Agreement otherwise would become effective.  After this Agreement becomes effective, either party may terminate it at any time for any reason by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party; provided, however, that this Agreement shall in any event automatically terminate at the first occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the Registration Statement for offer and sale of the Shares shall cease to be effective; (b) the Offering shall be terminated; or (c) the Investment Advisor’s license or registration to act as an investment advisor shall be revoked or suspended by any federal, self-regulatory or state agency and such revocation or suspension is not cured within ten (10) days from the date of such occurrence.  In any event, this Agreement shall be deemed suspended during any period for which such license is revoked or suspended.
