Performance of Service; Limitation of Liability A. PFS shall exercise reasonable care in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. PFS shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with matters to which this Agreement relates, including losses resulting from mechanical breakdowns or the failure of communication or power supplies beyond PFS's control, except a loss arising out of or relating to PFS's refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or from bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct on its part in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if PFS has exercised reasonable care in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless PFS from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities (whether with or without basis in fact or law) of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which PFS may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against PFS by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in performing the services hereunder, except for any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities arising out of or relating to PFS's refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or from bad faith, negligence or from willful misconduct on its part in performance of its duties under this Agreement, (i) in accordance with the foregoing standards, or (ii) in reliance upon any written or oral instruction provided to PFS by any duly authorized officer of the Trust, such duly authorized officer to be included in a list of authorized officers furnished to PFS and as amended from time to time in writing by resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. PFS shall indemnify and hold the Trust harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities (whether with or without basis in fact or law) of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which the Trust may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against the Trust by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by PFS as a result of PFS's refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, its bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct. In the event of a mechanical breakdown or failure of communication or power supplies beyond its control, PFS shall take all reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions for any period that such interruption continues beyond PFS's control. PFS will make every reasonable effort to restore any lost or damaged data and correct any errors resulting from such a breakdown at the expense of PFS. PFS agrees that it shall, at all times, have reasonable contingency plans with appropriate parties, making reasonable provision for emergency use of electrical data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available. Representatives of the Trust shall be entitled to inspect PFS's premises and operating capabilities at any time during regular business hours of PFS, upon reasonable notice to PFS.
B. In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this section shall apply, it is understood that if in any case the indemnitor may be asked to indemnify or hold the indemnitee harmless, the indemnitor shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the indemnitee will use all reasonable care to notify the indemnitor promptly concerning any situation which presents or appears likely to present the probability of a claim for indemnification. The indemnitor shall have the option to defend the indemnitee against any claim which may be the subject of this indemnification. In the event that the indemnitor so elects, it will so notify the indemnitee and thereupon the indemnitor shall take over complete defense of the claim, and the indemnitee shall in such situation initiate no further legal or other expenses for which it shall seek indemnification under this section. The indemnitee shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the indemnitor will be asked to indemnify the indemnitee except with the indemnitor's prior written consent.
C. PFS is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee or agent liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust and agrees 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 Funds, the obligations hereunder shall be limited to the respective assets of such Fund. PFS further agrees that it shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from any shareholder of a Fund, nor from any Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust.
Limitation of Liability for Claims The Declaration, a copy of which, together with all amendments thereto, is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provides that the name "Investors Fund Series" refers to the Trustees under the Declaration collectively as Trustees and not as individuals or personally, and that no shareholder of the Fund, or Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be subject to claims against or obligations of the Trust or of the Fund to any extent whatsoever, but that the Trust estate only shall be liable. You are hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of liability as set forth in the Declaration and you agree that the obligations assumed by the Trust on behalf of the Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Fund and its assets, and you shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Fund or any other series of the Trust, or from any Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust. You understand that the rights and obligations of each Fund, or series, under the Declaration are separate and distinct from those of any and all other series.
Limitation of Liability of Sub-Adviser (a) The Sub-Adviser shall be liable for losses resulting from its own acts or omissions caused by the Sub-Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or its reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement, and nothing herein shall protect the Sub-Adviser against any such liability to the shareholders of the Fund or to the Adviser. Except as provided in the previous sentence, the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable to the Fund or to any shareholder of the Fund or to the Adviser for any claim or loss arising out of any investment or other act or omission in the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties under this Agreement, or for any loss or damage resulting from the imposition by any government of exchange control restrictions which might affect the liquidity of the Fund’s assets maintained with custodians or securities depositories in foreign countries, or from any political acts of any foreign governments to which such assets might be exposed, or for any tax of any kind (other than taxes on the Sub-Adviser’s income), including without limitation any statutory, governmental, state, provincial, regional, local or municipal imposition, duty, contribution or levy imposed by any government or governmental agency upon or with respect to such assets or income earned with respect thereto (collectively “Taxation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence and the provisions of Section 5(b), the Sub-Adviser shall be liable for taxes or tax penalties incurred by the Fund, or by any legal or beneficial owner of the Fund’s shares, for any failure of the Portfolio to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M, or to meet the diversification requirements of Section 817(h), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to the extent resulting from the Sub-Adviser’s management of the Portfolio.
(b) In the event the Sub-Adviser is assessed any Taxation in respect of the assets, income or activities of the Portfolio, the Adviser and the Fund jointly will indemnify the Sub-Adviser for all such amounts wherever imposed, together with all penalties, charges, costs and interest relating thereto and all expenditures, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the Sub-Adviser in connection with the defense or settlement of any such assessment. The Sub-Adviser shall undertake and control the defense or settlement of any such assessment, including the selection of counsel or other professional advisers, provided that the selection of such counsel and advisers and the settlement of any assessment shall be subject to the approval of the Adviser and the Fund, which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Adviser and the Fund shall have the right to retain separate counsel and assume the defense or settlement on behalf of the Adviser and the Fund, as the case may be, of any such assessment if representation of the Adviser and the Fund by counsel selected by the Sub-Adviser would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest.
Limitation of Liability for Payments Section 3.09 of the Basic Agreement shall be amended, with respect to the Applicable Trust, by deleting the phrase “the Owner Trustees or the Owner Participants” in the second sentence thereof and adding in lieu thereof “the Liquidity Provider”.
Limitation of Liability No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
Limitation of Liability of Sub-Adviser and Indemnification Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss suffered by the Fund or the Trust in connection with the matters to which this Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of Sub-Adviser in the performance by Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under this Contract. Any person, even though also an officer, partner, employee, or agent of Sub-Adviser, who may be or become a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be deemed, when rendering services to a Fund or the Trust or acting with respect to any business of a Fund or the Trust to be rendering such service to or acting solely for the Fund or the Trust and not as an officer, partner, employee, or agent or one under the control or direction of Sub-Adviser even though paid by it.
Limitation of Liabilities IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA, COST OF COVER OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER ALLEGED AS A BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORTIOUS CONDUCT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY SUBLICENSEE OR ANY OTHER ENTITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSS CAUSED BY DELAY IN DELIVERY OR FURNISHING OF DATA USING THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. IN ADDITION, LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER IN EXCESS OF TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,500,000.00). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO (I) INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS; (II) ANY CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY; OR (III) ANY CLAIMS BASED UPON LICENSOR'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; OR (IV) BREACHES OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS.
Limitation of Liability of the Sub-Adviser Neither the Sub-adviser nor any of its officers, directors, or employees, nor any person performing executive, administrative, trading, or other functions for the applicable Fund (at the direction or request of the Sub-adviser) or the Sub-adviser in connection with the Sub-adviser’s discharge of its obligations undertaken or reasonably assumed with respect to this Agreement, shall be liable for (i) any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund or (ii) any error of fact or mistake of law contained in any report or data provided by the Sub-adviser, except for any error, mistake or loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its or his duties on behalf of the Fund or from reckless disregard by the Sub-adviser or any such person of the duties of the Sub-adviser pursuant to this Agreement.
Limitation of Liability of the Adviser The Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution and management of the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder. As used in this Article 6, the term "Adviser" shall include Directors, officers and employees of the Adviser as well as that corporation itself.
Limitation of Liability of Manager As an inducement to your undertaking to render services pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust agrees that you shall not be liable under this Agreement for any 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, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect you against any liability to the Trust, the Fund or its shareholders to which you would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of your duties, or by reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations and duties hereunder.
