Common use of Indemnification Obligations Clause in Contracts

Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Funds severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian from all claims and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or assessed against the Custodian for actions taken in reliance upon Proper Instructions or Special Instructions; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply to claims and liabilities occasioned by or resulting from the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian, or any other breach of this Agreement by the Custodian. In addition, the Funds severally agree to indemnify the Custodian against any liability incurred by the Custodian by reason of taxes assessed to the Custodian, or other costs, liability or expenses incurred by the Custodian, resulting directly or indirectly solely from the fact that securities and other property of the Funds is registered in the name of the Custodian; provided, however, in no event shall such indemnification be applicable to income, franchise or similar taxes which may be imposed or applied against the Custodian or charges imposed by a Federal Reserve Bank with respect to intra-day overdrafts unless separately agreed to by the Funds.
