Limits on Indemnification Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:
(a) Seller shall not have any obligation to provide indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 11.1 except to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $175,000.00 (the “Basket Amount”) in which case Seller shall be liable to Buyer only for such Losses in excess of $175,000.00. The maximum obligation of Seller to provide indemnification for all Losses pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be limited to an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket Amount and such liability cap will not apply with respect to any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.8, and 4.14.
(b) Buyer shall not have any obligation to provide indemnification for Losses indemnified pursuant to Section 11.2 except to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Basket Amount, in which case Buyer shall be liable to Seller only for such Losses in excess of the Basket Amount. The maximum obligation of Buyer to provide indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 11.2 shall be limited to the amount equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket Amount and such liability cap will not apply with respect to any breach of Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5 and 5.7.
(c) Seller shall not have any obligation to provide indemnification hereunder for any Losses pursuant to Sections 11.1 unless a written notice of claim specifying in reasonable detail the specific nature and basis of the Losses and the estimated amount of such Losses is delivered to Seller prior to 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Buyer shall not have any obligation to provide indemnification hereunder for any Losses unless a written notice of claim specifying in reasonable detail the specific nature and basis of the Losses and the estimated amount of such Losses is delivered to Buyer prior to 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
(d) For purposes of determining Losses in order to calculate the Basket Amount and determine rights to indemnification under this Article XI, the representations and warranties set forth in Articles IV and V shall be read without giving effect to any Materiality Requirement set forth therein. As used in this Agreement, a “Materiality Requirement” shall mean any requirement in a representation or warranty that a condition, event or state of fact be “material,” correct or true in “all material respects,” have a “Material Adverse Effect,” or be or not be “reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect” (or other words or phrases of similar effect or impact) in order for such condition, event or state of facts to cause such representation or warranty to be inaccurate.

(ii) To the extent that Xxxxxxxxxx’s involvement in a Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event is to prepare to serve and serve as a witness, and not as a party, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Losses incurred in connection therewith to the fullest extent allowable by law and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 8(b)) shall be required.

Exculpation; Indemnification Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, whether express or implied, or any obligation or duty at law or in equity, neither the Sole Member, nor any officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees, affiliates, representatives or agents of the Sole Member, or any manager, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company (individually, a “Covered Person” and, collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other person for any act or omission (in relation to the Company, its property or the conduct of its business or affairs, this Agreement, any related document or any transaction or investment contemplated hereby or thereby) taken or omitted by a Covered Person in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Company and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by the Company, provided such act or omission does not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any and all civil, criminal, administrative or investigative losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (“Claims”), in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management of the affairs of the Company or which relates to or arises out of the Company or its property, business or affairs. A Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 11 with respect to (i) any Claim with respect to which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or (ii) any Claim initiated by such Covered Person unless such Claim (or part thereof) (A) was brought to enforce such Covered Person’s rights to indemnification hereunder or (B) was authorized or consented to by the Board or the Sole Member. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Section 11.

Any person, even though also an officer, director, employee or agent of Funds Management, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Trust or acting on any business of the Trust (other than services or business in connection with Funds Management’s duties as Administrator hereunder), to be acting solely for the Trust and not as an officer, director, employee, or agent or one under the control or discretion of Funds Management even though paid by it.

8.3 The party seeking indemnification under this article (the "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") of the facts and circumstances giving rise to any claim, provided, however, that an Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice shall not impair or otherwise affect such Indemnified Party's right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. All rights contained in this article are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies, which are otherwise available, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. All indemnification rights shall be deemed to apply in favor of the indemnified party's officers, directors, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns.
8.4 The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless legal action shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit within fifteen (15) days after notification thereof as provided herein. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnification hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim by a person other than the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim without prejudice to the right of the Indemnifying Party thereafter to contest its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect to the claims asserted therein. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel to conduct the defense in such claims and at its sole cost and expense shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof.

The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend such claim in such a manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and in any action by the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of this article, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such action (including making a personal contact with the third party if deemed beneficial) and the relevant records of party shall be made available on a timely basis.

Exculpation. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful breach of this Agreement.
