LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION SMC shall be liable for any actual losses, claims, damages or expenses (including any reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from SMC's bad faith, willful misfeasance, reckless disregard of its obligations and duties, negligence or failure to properly perform any of its responsibilities or duties under this agreement. SMC shall not be liable and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Fund, for any claim, demand or action brought against it arising out of, or in connection with:
A. Bad faith, willful misfeasance, reckless disregard of its duties or negligence of the Board of Directors of the Fund, or SMC's acting upon any instructions properly executed and authorized by the Board of Directors of the Fund;
B. SMC acting in reliance upon advice given by independent counsel retained by the Board of Directors of the Fund. In the event that SMC requests the Fund to indemnify or hold it harmless hereunder, SMC shall use its best efforts to inform the Fund of the relevant facts concerning the matter in question. SMC shall use reasonable care to identify and promptly notify the Fund concerning any matter which presents, or appears likely to present, a claim for indemnification against the Fund. The Fund shall have the election of defending SMC against any claim which may be the subject of indemnification hereunder. In the event the Fund so elects, it will so notify SMC and thereupon the Fund shall take over defenses of the claim, and (if so requested by the Fund, SMC shall incur no further legal or other claims related thereto for which it would be entitled to indemnity hereunder provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent SMC from retaining, at its own expense, counsel to defend any claim. Except with the Fund's prior consent, SMC shall in no event confess any claim or make any compromise in any matter in which the Fund will be asked to indemnify or hold SMC harmless hereunder. PUNITIVE DAMAGES. SMC shall not be liable to the Fund, or any third party, for punitive, exemplary, indirect, special or consequential damages (even if SMC has been advised of the possibility of such damages) arising from its obligations and the services provided under this agreement, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of use of the shareholder accounting system, cost of capital and expenses of substitute facilities, programs or services. FORCE MAJEURE. Anything in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, SMC shall not be liable for delays or errors occurring by reason of circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, work stoppages, fire, flood, catastrophe, earthquake, acts of God, insurrection, war, riot, failure of communication or interruption.
No Liabilities Except as set forth in the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a), as of the Closing Date there are no liabilities of any Company of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, other than liabilities under the Loan Documents, the Revolving Credit Loan Documents and the Senior Notes. Since March 31, 2010, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
ADVISER’S LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION (a) The Adviser shall have responsibility for the accuracy and completeness (and liability for the lack thereof) of the statements in the Fund’s offering materials (including the prospectus, the statement of additional information, and advertising and sales materials), except for information supplied by the administrator or the Trust or another third party for inclusion therein.
(b) The Adviser shall be liable to the Fund for any loss (including brokerage charges) incurred by the Fund as a result of any improper investment made by the Adviser in contradiction of the Investment Policies.
(c) In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, or reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser, the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Trust or the Fund or to any shareholder of 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 by the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, federal securities laws and certain state laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who have acted in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Trust, the Fund or any shareholder of the Fund may have under any federal securities law or state law.
(d) Each party to this Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and the shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the other party (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating and defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage or expenses and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of the Indemnified Party’s performance or non-performance of any duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect any Indemnified Party against any liability to which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(e) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust, or officer of the Adviser, from liability in violation of Sections 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act.
LIABILITIES AND INDEMNITY 5.1 In the event of any claim or proceeding in respect of personal injury made or brought against the Trust by a Clinical Trial Subject, the Sponsor shall indemnify the Trust, its servants, Agents and employees in accordance with the terms of the indemnity set out at Appendix 4 hereto.
5.2 Nothing in this clause 5 shall operate so as to restrict or exclude the liability of any Party in relation to death or personal injury caused by the negligence of that Party or its servants, Agents or employees or to restrict or exclude any other liability of any Party which cannot be so restricted or excluded in law. The CRO expressly disclaims any liability in connection with the Investigational Medicinal Product caused by or allegedly caused by the use or misuse of the Investigational Medicinal Product other than liability for death, personal injury or loss of or damage to property which liability is the result of negligence on the part of the CRO.
5.3 In no circumstances shall any Party be liable to another Party in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty) or otherwise howsoever arising or whatever the cause thereof, for any loss of profit, business, reputation, contracts, revenues or anticipated savings for any special, indirect or consequential damage of any nature, which arises directly or indirectly from any default on the part of any other Party.
5.4 Subject to clauses 5.2 and 5.5, the Trust's liability to the Sponsor and CRO arising out of or in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any act or omission of the Trust in connection with the performance of the Clinical Trial shall in no event exceed in total the amount of fees payable by the Sponsor or CRO to the Trust under this Agreement. In the case of equipment loaned to the Trust for the purposes of the Clinical Trial, the Trust’s liability arising from its negligence shall exclude fair wear and tear and shall not exceed the value of the equipment.
5.5 In respect of any wilful and/or deliberate breach by the Trust, or any breach of clauses 6, 8 and/or 9, the Trust’s liability to the Sponsor and CRO arising out of or in connection with the breach shall not exceed in total twice the value of the contract.
5.6 The Sponsor will take out appropriate insurance cover or will provide an indemnity satisfactory to the Trust in respect of its potential liability under clause 5.1 above and such cover shall be for a minimum of £[…insert amount…] in respect of any one occurrence or series of occurrences arising from one event. The Sponsor shall produce to the Trust, on request, copies of insurance certificates, together with evidence that the policies to which they refer remain in full force and effect, or other evidence concerning the indemnity. The terms of any insurance or the amount of cover shall not relieve the Sponsor of any liabilities under this Agreement.
ADVISOR’S LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION (a) The Advisor shall have responsibility for the accuracy and completeness (and liability for the lack thereof) of the statements in the Fund’s offering materials (including the prospectus, the statement of additional information, advertising and sales materials), except for information supplied by the administrator or the Trust or another third party for inclusion therein.
(b) The Advisor shall be liable to the Fund for any loss (including brokerage charges) incurred by the Fund as a result of any improper investment made by the Advisor in contradiction of the Investment Policies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, federal securities laws and certain state laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who have acted in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Trust, the Fund or any shareholder of the Fund may have under any federal securities law or state law.
(d) Each party to this Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and the shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the other party (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating and defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage or expenses and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of the Indemnifying Party’s performance or non-performance of any duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect any Indemnified Party against any liability to which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(e) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust, or officer of the Advisor, from liability in violation of Sections 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act.
Liabilities and Indemnities The Sponsor shall indemnify the Participating Site and its Agents, against any reasonable claims, proceedings and related costs, expenses, losses, damages and demands to the extent they arise or result from the negligent acts or omissions of, or the wilful misconduct of the Sponsor, and/or contracted third party, in its performance of this Agreement or in connection with the Non-Interventional Study. The CRO shall indemnify the Participating Site and its Agents, against any reasonable claims, proceedings and related costs, expenses, losses, damages and demands to the extent they arise or result from the negligent acts or omissions of, or the wilful misconduct of the CRO, and/or contracted third party, in its performance of this Agreement or in connection with the Non-Interventional Study. The Sponsor and the CRO shall maintain all proper insurance arrangements to cover liabilities arising from their conduct in the Non-Interventional Study, in respect of any claims brought by or on behalf of a Non-Interventional Study Subject. The Sponsor and the CRO shall provide the Participating Site such evidence of their insurance maintained pursuant to clauses 5.1 and 5.2 as the Participating Site shall from time to time reasonably request.

Subject to Clauses 5.6 and 5.7 the Participating Organisation’s liability to the Sponsor and CRO arising out of or in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any act or omission of the Participating Organisation in connection with the performance of the Non-Interventional Study shall in no event exceed the amount of fees payable by the Sponsor or CRO to the Participating Organisation under this Agreement. [DELETE IF NOT APPLICABLE] In the case of equipment loaned to the Participating Organisation for the purposes of the Non-Interventional Study, the Participating Organisation’s liability for loss or damage to this equipment arising from its negligence shall exclude fair wear and tear and shall not exceed the value of the equipment. In respect of any wilful and/or deliberate breach by the Participating Organisation, or any breach of Clauses 6, 8, 10 or 11 the Participating Organisation’s liability to the Sponsor and CRO arising out of or in connection with the breach shall not exceed two times the value of the Agreement. Nothing in this Clause 5 shall operate so as to restrict or exclude the liability of any Party in relation to death or personal injury caused by the negligence or wilful misconduct of that Party or its Agents or employees, or to restrict or exclude any other liability of any Party that cannot be so restricted or excluded in law. Nothing in this Agreement will operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
Liabilities and Warranties While the Custodian will take reasonable precautions to ensure that information provided is accurate, the Custodian shall have no liability with respect to information provided to it by third parties. Due to the nature and source of information, and the necessity of relying on various information sources, most of which are external to the Custodian, the Custodian shall have no liability for direct or indirect use of such information.
No Liability Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Bank be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Bank from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Liabilities If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
