LIMITATION OF SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY The Trustees of the Trust and the shareholders of the Fund shall not be liable for any obligations of the Trust or of the Fund under this Agreement, and the Sub-advisor agrees that, in asserting any rights or claims under this Agreement, it shall look only to the assets and property of the Trust or the Fund to which the Sub-advisor's rights or claims relate in settlement of such rights or claims, and not to the Trustees of the Trust or the shareholders of the Fund.
Limitation of Liability of Adviser and its Personnel Neither the Adviser nor any director, manager, officer or employee of the Adviser performing services for the Trust at the direction or request of the Adviser in connection with the Adviser's discharge of its obligations hereunder shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with any matter to which this Agreement relates, and the Adviser shall not be responsible for any action of the Trustees of the Trust in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation of the Adviser or any sub-adviser retained by the Adviser pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement; PROVIDED, that nothing herein contained shall be construed (i) to protect the Adviser against any liability to the Trust or its shareholders to which the Adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of the Adviser's duties, or by reason of the Adviser's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) to protect any director, manager, officer or employee of the Adviser who is or was a Trustee or officer of the Trust against any liability of the Trust or its shareholders to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person's office with the Trust.
Limitation of Liability of the Subadviser Neither the Subadviser nor any of its officers, directors, or employees, nor any person performing executive, administrative, trading, or other functions for the applicable Company, the applicable Fund (at the direction or request of the Subadviser) or the Subadviser in connection with the Subadviser’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 Company or Fund or (ii) any error of fact or mistake of law contained in any report or data provided by the Subadviser, 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 Company or Fund or from reckless disregard by the Subadviser or any such person of the duties of the Subadviser pursuant to this Agreement.
Status of Shares and Limitation of Personal Liability Shares shall be deemed to be personal property giving only the rights provided in this instrument and the By-Laws of the Trust. Every Shareholder by virtue of having become a Shareholder shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms hereof. The death of a Shareholder during the existence of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the Trust, nor entitle the representative of any deceased Shareholder to an accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustees, but shall entitle such representative only to the rights of said deceased Shareholder under this Declaration of Trust. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle a Shareholder to any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust Property or right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders as partners or joint venturers. Neither the Trust nor the Trustees, nor any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall have any power to bind personally any Shareholder, or to call upon any Shareholder for the payment of any sum of money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the Shareholder may at any time agree to pay.
Limitation of Liability of the Advisor The Advisor shall not be liable for any act or omission of any other person or entity exercising a fiduciary responsibility, if such fiduciary responsibility has been allocated to such other person or entity in accordance with this Agreement, the Declaration of Trust, the Fund Declaration, the Plans or the Trusts, except to the extent that the Advisor has itself violated its fiduciary responsibility or its obligations under this Agreement, or except to the extent that applicable law (including ERISA) may expressly provide otherwise.
Limitation of Liability of the Local Manager No warranty is given by the Local Manager as to the performance or profitability of the Fund or any part thereof. If a percentage restriction contained in the Fund’s investment objective(s) or investment restrictions (as the same are set forth in the Fund’s then-currently effective Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information) is adhered to at the time of investment, a later change in percentage resulting from a change in values or assets will not constitute a violation of such restriction. The Local Manager will not be responsible to the Investment Adviser or the Fund for the solvency, actions or omissions of any counterparty, broker, dealer, market-maker, bank, custodian or sub-custodian, with whom it transacts business on the Investment Adviser’s behalf, other than affiliates of the Local Manager. Nothing in this Agreement will exclude or restrict any liability which the Local Manager has under the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 or the FCA Rules in relation to the Investment Adviser and which may not be excluded or restricted thereunder. The Local Manager 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 performance of investment advisory services rendered with respect to the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The exception in the previous sentence shall apply to each limitation of the Local Manager’s liability contained in this Article IV. As used in this Article IV, the Local Manager shall include any affiliates of the Local Manager performing services for the Local Manager contemplated hereby and directors, officers and employees of the Local Manager and such affiliates. It is understood and agreed that in furnishing the investment advice and other services as herein provided, the Local Manager shall use its best professional judgment to perform its obligations hereunder which will provide favorable results for each Portfolio. The Local Manager shall not be liable to a Portfolio or to any shareholder of a Portfolio to any greater degree than the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser shall indemnify and hold the Local Manager harmless against any loss, liability or cost incurred by the Local Manager towards each Portfolio or to any shareholder of a Portfolio except to the extent that such loss, liability or cost arises from the Local Manager’s fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Local Manager’s duties hereunder. Each Portfolio shall be severally (and not jointly) liable for its own fees, costs, expenses and other liabilities attributable to such Portfolio, and no Portfolio shall be responsible for any liabilities in connection with any other Portfolio.
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.
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.
Limitation of Liability of the Adviser; Indemnification The Adviser (and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser, including without limitation its general partner and the Administrator) shall not be liable to the Corporation for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Adviser in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Corporation, except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by judicial proceedings) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services, and the Corporation shall indemnify, defend and protect the Adviser (and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser, including without limitation its general partner and the Administrator, each of whom shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by the Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation or its security holders) arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Adviser’s duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Paragraph 9 to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed to protect the Indemnified Parties against or entitle or be deemed to entitle the Indemnified Parties to indemnification in respect of, any liability to the Corporation or its security holders to which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Adviser’s duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Adviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement (as the same shall be determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act and any interpretations or guidance by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff thereunder).
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF THE SUB-ADVISOR Absent willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder in the Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. As used in this Section 6, the term "Sub-Advisor" shall include the Sub-Advisor and/or any of its affiliates and the directors, officers and employees of the Sub-Advisor and/or any of its affiliates.
