8.3 The party seeking indemnification under this article (the "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") of the facts and circumstances giving rise to any claim, provided, however, that an Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice shall not impair or otherwise affect such Indemnified Party's right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. All rights contained in this article are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies, which are otherwise available, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. All indemnification rights shall be deemed to apply in favor of the indemnified party's officers, directors, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns.
8.4 The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless legal action shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit within fifteen (15) days after notification thereof as provided herein. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnification hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim by a person other than the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim without prejudice to the right of the Indemnifying Party thereafter to contest its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect to the claims asserted therein. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel to conduct the defense in such claims and at its sole cost and expense shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnifying Party admits in writing its liability to hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of such settlement. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend such claim in such a manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and in any action by the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of this article, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such action (including making a personal contact with the third party if deemed beneficial) and the relevant records of party shall be made available on a timely basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, federal securities laws and certain state laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who have acted in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Trust, the Fund or any shareholder of the Fund may have under any federal securities law or state law.
(d) Each party to this Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and the shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the other party (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating and defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage or expenses and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of the Indemnifying Party’s performance or non-performance of any duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect any Indemnified Party against any liability to which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement.

The Company hereby agrees (a) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such Fund Director are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Fund Director are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Fund Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Fund Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Fund Director), without regard to any rights such Fund Director may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (c) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any such Fund Director with respect to any claim for which such Fund Director has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Fund Director against the Company.
ADVISER’S LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION (a) The Adviser shall have responsibility for the accuracy and completeness (and liability for the lack thereof) of the statements in the Fund’s offering materials (including the prospectus, the statement of additional information, and advertising and sales materials), except for information supplied by the administrator or the Trust or another third party for inclusion therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, federal securities laws and certain state laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who have acted in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Trust, the Fund or any shareholder of the Fund may have under any federal securities law or state law.
(d) Each party to this Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and the shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the other party (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating and defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage or expenses and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of the Indemnified Party’s performance or non-performance of any duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect any Indemnified Party against any liability to which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(e) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust, or officer of the Adviser, from liability in violation of Sections 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act.
