Indemnification of the Distributor The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each person who has been, is, or may hereafter be a director, officer, employee, shareholder or control person of the Distributor against any loss, damage or expense (including the reasonable costs of investigation) reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, including clerical errors and mechanical failures, on the part of any of such persons in the performance of the Distributor's duties or from the reckless disregard by any of such persons of the Distributor's obligations and duties under this Agreement, for all of which exceptions the Distributor shall be liable to the Fund. The Fund will advance attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by any such person in defending a proceeding, upon the undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Paragraph 9 shall apply, it is understood that if in any case the Fund may be asked to indemnify the Distributor or any other person or hold the Distributor or any other person harmless, the Fund shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the Distributor will use all reasonable care to identify and notify the Fund promptly concerning any situation which presents or appears likely to present the probability of such a claim for indemnification against the Fund. The Fund shall have the option to defend the Distributor and any such person against any claim which may be the subject of this indemnification, and in the event that the Fund so elects it will so notify the Distributor, and thereupon the Fund shall take over complete defense of the claim, and neither the Distributor nor any such person shall in such situation initiate further legal or other expenses for which it shall seek indemnification under this Paragraph 9. The Distributor shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the Fund will be asked to indemnify the Distributor or any such person except with the Fund's written consent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Distributor shall be entitled to receive and act upon advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Fund or its own counsel) and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or thing reasonably done pursuant to such advice, provided that such action is not in violation of applicable federal or state laws or regulations.
Indemnification of Company The Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished by the Underwriter: paragraph 3 under the caption “Underwriting”.
Indemnification of Servicer The Master Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer, any Subservicer appointed by it, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, or its delegees for any action taken by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, or its delegees or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Servicer, any Subservicer or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, or its delegees are not protected against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of his or its duties or by reason of reckless disregard of his or its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Indemnification of Client In the event that the Client or Masterworks becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding, investigation, or inquiry in connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement, the Financial Adviser agrees to reimburse the Client or Masterworks for its legal and other expenses (including but not limited to the cost of any investigation and preparation as they are incurred by Client or Masterworks in connection therewith) if, and to the extent that (i) it shall be finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such action, proceeding, investigation, or inquiry arose out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Financial Adviser in performing the services, which are the subject of this Agreement; or (ii) such action, proceeding, investigation, or inquiry arose solely out of Financial Adviser’s violation of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement regarding compliance with securities laws. Financial Adviser also agrees to indemnify Client and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses of every kind, nature, and description, fixed or contingent (including, without limitation, counsel’s fees and expenses and the costs of investigation and preparation for and any other costs associated with any action, proceeding, investigation or inquiry in which Client may be involved in any capacity) incurred by Client or Masterworks in connection with or as a result of any matter referred to in this Agreement or arising out of any matter contemplated by this Agreement if (i) it shall be finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities arose out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Financial Adviser; or, (ii) in the event of Financial Adviser’s violation of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement regarding compliance with securities laws.
INDEMNIFICATION OF ULTIMUS The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Ultimus from and against any and all Losses arising directly or indirectly out of any action or omission to act which Ultimus takes (i) at any request or on the direction of or in reliance on the reasonable advice of the Trust or any Fund, (ii) upon any instruction, notice or other instrument that Ultimus reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by a duly authorized representative of the Trust or any Fund (other than an employee or other affiliated person of Ultimus who may otherwise be named as an authorized representative of the Trust for certain purposes) or (iii) on its own initiative, in good faith and in accordance with the standard of care set forth herein, in connection with the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder; provided, however that the Trust shall have no obligation to indemnify or reimburse Ultimus under this Section 9 to the extent that Ultimus is entitled to reimbursement or indemnification for such Losses under any liability insurance policy described in this Agreement or otherwise. Ultimus shall not be indemnified against or held harmless from any Losses arising directly or indirectly out of Ultimus’ own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. (As used in this Section 9, the term “Ultimus” shall include directors, officers, employees and other agents of Ultimus as well as Ultimus itself.) The provisions of this paragraph 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Exclusions from Indemnification Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to:
Indemnification of the Buyer Subject to the other provisions of this Article 7, from and after the Closing, the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer, the Company and each Subsidiary and hold each harmless against and in respect of any and all damages, claims, demands, losses, expenses, costs, obligations and liabilities, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and any expenses resulting from the enforcement of this indemnity (collectively, "LOSSES"), which arise or result from any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller contained in Articles 2 or 3 of this Agreement or contained in any certificate delivered by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, or the failure of the Seller to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein. For purposes of determining whether or not a representation or warranty of the Seller has been breached (other than those set forth in Sections 3.5 (Financial Statements), 3.6 (Absence of Material Undisclosed Liabilities) or 3.7 (Absence of Certain Changes)) and the amount of the related Losses, the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications as to "materiality" (including, without limitation, the word "material") or "Company Material Adverse Effect." For greater certainty, where a representation or warranty requires the Seller to set forth certain items on a Schedule to this Agreement (e.g. the Material Contracts Schedule), it is not the intent of the parties that the prior sentence would broaden the scope of the disclosures required to be set forth on such schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term in this Agreement, the obligation of the Seller to indemnify or hold harmless the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary for breach of any representation or warranty or any pre-Closing covenant or pre-Closing agreement shall be limited and qualified as follows:
Indemnification of the Purchaser Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (including local counsel, if retained) that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any Action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such Action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence) or (c) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. If any Action shall be brought against the Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such Action there is, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser Party, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel (in addition to local counsel, if retained). The Company will not be liable to the Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by the Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The Purchaser Parties shall have the right to settle any Action against any of them by the payment of money provided that they cannot agree to any equitable relief and the Company, its officers, directors and Affiliates receive unconditional releases in customary form. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. To extent that the Company has made any periodic payments pursuant to the foregoing sentence, and there is a later final and binding determination that the Company was not liable in respect of the related indemnification obligations hereunder, the Company may offset the amounts owing under the Note against such payments. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of Action or similar right of the Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
Indemnification of NCPS From and at all times after the date of this Escrow Agreement, Issuer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless NCPS and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of NCPS (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation Issuer and Broker whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Escrow Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by the Issuer. The obligations of Issuer under this Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of NCPS.
INDEMNIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF DAMAGES BY BUYER Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, and will pay to Sellers the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any Breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement, or (c) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by such Person with Buyer (or any Person acting on its behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.
