Provision of Certain Information by the Adviser The Adviser will promptly notify the Sub-Adviser (1) in the event that the SEC has censured the Adviser or the Trust; placed limitations upon either of their activities, functions, or operations; suspended or revoked the Adviser’s registration as an investment adviser; or, to the knowledge of the Adviser, has commenced proceedings or an investigation that may result in any of these actions and (2) upon having a reasonable basis for believing that each Fund has ceased to qualify or might not qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code.
Procedure for Third Party Claims Any person that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 13 (an "Indemnitee") arising out of a Third Party claim shall promptly notify the indemnifying party (the "Indemnitor") of such claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnifi- cation, and the Indemnitor shall, to the extent applicable, assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses thereof to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. The parties' indemnity obligations under this Article 13 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. Any Indemnitee's failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to the Indemnitor's ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 13, but not any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee otherwise than under this Article 13. The Indemnitee and its employees and agents shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification.
Waiver or Delay The failure or delay on the part of the Corporation or Executive to exercise any right or remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof. A waiver, to be effective, must be in writing and signed by the party making the waiver. A written waiver of default shall not operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same type of default on a future occasion.
Procedures for Third Party Claims In the case of any claim for indemnification arising from a claim of a third-party other than an Infringement Claim subject to Section 13.3 above (a “Third-Party Claim”), a party seeking indemnification hereunder (each an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice, following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, to the party from which indemnity is sought (each an “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or demand of which such Indemnified Party has knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the rights of the Indemnifying Parties from whom indemnity is sought are prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (and if it elects to exercise such right, shall do so within twenty (20) days after receiving such notice from the Indemnified Party) to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim or demand, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume control of the defense of such action only if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its indemnity obligations and assumes and holds the Indemnified Party harmless from and against all Losses resulting from such Third-Party Claim; and provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have notified the Indemnified Party of its exercise of its right to defend such Third-Party claim within such twenty (20) day period; (ii) such claim or demand seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such claim or demand or (y) the Indemnified Party has one or more defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party, (iv) such claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (v) the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, and keep the Indemnifying Party fully informed, in the defense of such claim or demand. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim or demand with counsel employed at its own expense; provided, however, that, in the case of any claim or demand described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second preceding sentence or as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim or demand, the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such claim or demand which shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if such settlement is accompanied by a document releasing the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to the matter in controversy that is binding, valid and enforceable against all applicable Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnified Party fails to object to the settlement within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a written notice from the Indemnifying Party containing the terms and condition of such settlement, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have consented to the settlement.
PROVISION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY ADVISER The Adviser will promptly notify the Manager (1) in the event the SEC or other governmental authority has censured the Adviser; placed limitations upon its activities, functions or operations; suspended or revoked its registration, if any, as an investment adviser; or has commenced proceedings or an investigation that may result in any of these actions or (2) upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Portfolio has ceased to qualify or might not qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code.
