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 (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, 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. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any 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.

TRUST AND SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY The Manager and Adviser are hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Trust and agree that obligations assumed by the Trust pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Trust and its assets, and if the liability relates to one or more series, the obligations hereunder shall be limited to the respective assets of the Fund. The Manager and Adviser further agree that they shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any individual shareholder of the Fund, nor from the Trustees or any individual Trustee of the Trust.
Shareholder Liability Notice is hereby given that this Agreement is entered into on the Fund’s behalf by an officer of the Fund in his capacity as an officer and not individually and that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Fund’s Trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders individually, but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Series.
LIMITATION OF SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY 9.01 Notice is hereby given that this Agreement is being executed by the Fund by a duly authorized officer thereof acting as such and not individually. The obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the trustees, officers, shareholders or the investment advisor of the Fund individually but are binding only upon the assets and property belonging to the Fund, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Portfolio, for the benefit of which the trustees or directors have caused this Agreement to be executed.
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:
Disclaimer of Shareholder Liability MassMutual and the Sub-Adviser understand that the obligations of the Trust under this Sub-Advisory Agreement are not binding upon any Trustee or shareholder of the Trust personally, but bind only the Trust and the Trust’s property. MassMutual and the Sub-Adviser represent that each has notice of the provisions of the Trust Documents disclaiming shareholder and Trustee liability for acts or obligations of the Trust.
