Limitation of Liability; Indemnification (a) Funds Management shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, except a loss resulting from Funds Management’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of its obligations and duties or that of its agents or sub-administrators, or by reason of its or their reckless disregard thereof. Any person, even though also an officer, director, employee or agent of Funds Management, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Trust or acting on any business of the Trust (other than services or business in connection with Funds Management’s duties as Administrator hereunder), to be acting solely for the Trust and not as an officer, director, employee, or agent or one under the control or discretion of Funds Management even though paid by it.
(b) The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, will indemnify Funds Management against and hold it harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, demand, action, or suit relating to the particular Fund and not resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence of Funds Management or its agents or sub-administrators in the performance of their obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of its or their reckless disregard thereof. Funds Management will not confess any claim or settle or make any compromise in any instance in which the Trust will be asked to provide indemnification, except with the Trust’s prior written consent. Any amounts payable by the Trust under this Subparagraph shall be satisfied only against the assets of the Fund involved in the claim, demand, action, or suit and not against the assets of any other Fund.
(c) Funds Management will indemnify the Trust against and hold it harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, demand, action, or suit against the Trust or any Fund that resulted from a failure of Funds Management or its agents to act in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Subparagraph (a) above; provided that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense did not result primarily from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence of the Trust or its agents (other than Funds Management or agents of Funds Management) in the performance of their obligations and duties, or by reason of its or their reckless disregard thereof. The Trust will not confess any claim or settle or make any compromise in any instance in which Funds Management will be asked to provide indemnification, except with Funds Management’s prior written consent.
Limitation of Liability; Indemnity (a) Neither the Sole Member nor the Manager will be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken as a member or manager, or for any failure to take any action, and neither the Sole Member nor the Manager shall be liable for any debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, solely by reason of being a member or manager.
(b) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sole Member and the Manager, and any of such party’s officers, directors, managers, employees, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law from and against any and all actual or alleged losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (collectively, “Damages”) of any nature whatsoever, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any action taken or omitted by the Indemnified Party pursuant to authority granted by or otherwise in connection with this Agreement. Any indemnity under this Section shall be paid out of, and to the extent of, Company assets only, including insurance proceeds if available.
(c) All expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with a threatened or actual action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Section shall be advanced or promptly reimbursed by the Company to such Indemnified Party in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party or on such Indemnified Party’s behalf to repay the amount of such advances, if any, as to which such Indemnified Party is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification or, where indemnification is granted, to the extent such advances exceed the indemnification to which such Indemnified Party is entitled.
(d) No repeal or amendment of this Section, insofar as it reduces the extent of the indemnification of any person who could be an Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of such person, be effective as to such person with respect to any event, act or omission occurring or allegedly occurring prior to (a) the date of such repeal or amendment if on that date such Person is not serving in any capacity for which such Person could be an Indemnified Party or (b) the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery to such Person of written notice of such amendment as to any capacity in which such Person is serving on the date of such repeal or amendment for which such Person could be an Indemnified Party. No amendment of the LLC Law shall, insofar as it reduces the permissible extent of the right of indemnification of an Indemnified Party under this Section, be effective as to such Indemnified Party with respect to any event, act or omission occurring or allegedly occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment. This Section shall be binding on any successor to the Company, including any limited liability company, corporation or other entity which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
(e) The Company may, but need not, maintain insurance insuring the Company or persons entitled to indemnification under this Section for liabilities against which they are entitled to indemnification under this Section or insuring such persons for liabilities against which they are not entitled to indemnification under this Section.
(f) The indemnification provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person covered hereby may be entitled other than pursuant to this Section. The Company is authorized to enter into agreements with any such person or persons providing them rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in addition to the provisions therefor in this Section to the full extent permitted by law.
(g) The Company, in such instances and to such extent as shall be determined by the Manager, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to the Sole Member and the Manager under this Section; and the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to persons who are not or were not employees or agents of the Company, but who are or were serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such a person to the same extent that the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to the Sole Member or the Manager under this Section.

State Street shall be responsible for the performance of only such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided under Section XVI, shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including other service providers. State Street shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder unless caused by or resulting from the negligence, reckless misconduct, willful malfeasance or lack of good faith of State Street, its officers or employees and, in such event, such liability will be subject to the limitations set forth in Section XIII herein.

The indemnification and limitation of liability contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The parties agree that any encoding or payment processing errors shall be governed by this standard of care and Section 4-209 of the Uniform Commercial Code is superseded by this Section 4 of this Agreement.
(b) In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard by ALPS in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities set forth in this Agreement, ALPS and its affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, shall not be liable for, and the Fund agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless such persons from, all taxes, charges, expenses, disbursements, assessments, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, suits, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and liabilities arising under applicable federal and state laws) arising directly or indirectly from the following:
(i) the inaccuracy of factual information furnished to ALPS by the Fund or the Fund’s investment adviser or custodian or any authorized third party on behalf of the Fund;
(ii) any reasonable error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates;

(iv) failure to satisfy requests to cancel or amend payment orders, if ALPS receives such requests without reasonable time to comply with such requests;
(v) failure to detect any erroneous payment order, provided that ALPS complies with the payment order instructions as received and with the Security Procedure (as defined below);
(vi) lost interest with respect to the refundable amount of an unauthorized payment order, unless ALPS is notified of the unauthorized payment order within 30 days of notification by ALPS of the acceptance of such payment order; or

(c) ALPS shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all taxes, charges, expenses, disbursements, assessments, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, suits, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and liabilities arising under applicable federal and state laws) arising directly or indirectly from ALPS’ willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities set forth in this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither party shall be liable under this Agreement to the other party hereto for any punitive, consequential, special or indirect losses or damages. Any indemnification payable by a party to this Agreement shall be net of insurance maintained by the indemnified party as of the time the claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder is alleged to have arisen to the extent it covers such claim.
(e) In any case in which either party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may be asked to indemnify or hold the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) harmless, the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party promptly after identifying any situation which it believes presents or appears likely to present a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party although the failure to do so shall not prevent recovery by the Indemnified Party and shall keep the Indemnifying Party advised with respect to all developments concerning such situation. The Indemnifying Party shall have the option to defend the Indemnified Party against any claim which may be the subject of this indemnification, and, in the event that the Indemnifying Party so elects, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and thereupon the Indemnifying Party shall take over complete defense of the claim and the Indemnified Party shall sustain no further legal or other expenses in respect of such claim. The Indemnified Party will not confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the Indemnifying Party will be asked to provide indemnification, except with the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.
Warranty; Limitation of Liability 6.1 Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a warranty and any and all warranties in respect of the Program are exclusively set forth in the warranty policy available at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or upon Licensee's request.
6.2 In no event shall Licensor (including its officers, directors, employees and agents and its suppliers and licensors) be liable to Licensee (including any other entity or person related to or affiliated with Licensee) for any incidental, consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages whatsoever, or for any lost profits or revenue, lost business opportunities, lost or inaccessible data or information, or other pecuniary loss, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, whether liability is asserted in contract or tort (including negligence or strict product liability) or otherwise, and irrespective of whether Licensor (including its officers, directors, employees and agents and its suppliers and licensors) has been advised of the possibility of any such damage or loss.
6.3 In no event shall Licensor's (including its officers, directors, employees and agents and its suppliers and licensors) aggregate liability under or arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof exceed the Fees paid by Licensee to Licensor hereunder for the license of the applicable Program. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PRICING OF THE PROGRAM AND THE OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT LICENSOR WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS OF ITS LIABILITY.
6.4 The limitations of liability in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above do not apply (a) with respect to product liability arising under laws implementing Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products, to the extent liability cannot be contractually limited or disclaimed under such laws, (b) with respect to bodily injury, and (c) to the extent such damage or loss is the result of Licensor's intentional or grossly negligent conduct. Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to Licensee.
