In addition, the Sub-Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and the Fund from any and all claims, losses, expenses, obligations and liabilities (including reasonable attorney's fees) to which either the Trust or the Fund may become subject directly arising out of or resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty by the Sub-Adviser under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act with respect to the receipt of compensation for its services under this Agreement.

Standard of Liability and Indemnity Subject to Section 2 hereof, DWR and its affiliates (as defined below) shall not be liable to the Customer, the General Partner or Limited Partners, or any of its or their respective successors or assigns, for any act, omission, conduct, or activity undertaken by or on behalf of the Customer pursuant to this Agreement which DWR determines, in good faith, to be in the best interests of the Customer, unless such act, omission, conduct, or activity by DWR or its affiliates constituted misconduct or negligence. The Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless DWR and its affiliates from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses incurred in the defense of any demands, claims, or lawsuits) actually and reasonably incurred arising from any act, omission, conduct or activity undertaken by DWR on behalf of the Customer pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any demands, claims or lawsuits initiated by a Limited Partner (or assignee thereof), provided that (i) DWR has determined, in good faith, that the act, omission, conduct, or activity giving rise to the claim for indemnification was in the best interests of the Customer, and (ii) the act, omission, conduct, or activity that was the basis for such loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense was not the result of misconduct or negligence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, neither DWR nor any of its affiliates shall be indemnified by the Customer for any losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (a) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee, or (b) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee, or (c) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made, provided, with regard to such court approval, the indemnitee must apprise the court of the position of the SEC, and the positions of the respective securities administrators of Massachusetts, Missouri, Tennessee and/or those other states and jurisdictions in which the plaintiffs claim they were offered or sold Units, with respect to indemnification for securities laws violations before seeking court approval for indemnification. Furthermore, in any action or proceeding brought by a Limited Partner in the right of the Customer to which DWR or any affiliate thereof is a party defendant, any such person shall be indemnified only to the extent and subject to the conditions specified in this Section 8. The Customer shall make advances to DWR or its affiliates hereunder only if: (i) the demand, claim, lawsuit, or legal action relates to the performance of duties or services by such persons to the Customer; (ii) such demand, claim, lawsuit, or legal action is not initiated by a Limited Partner; and (iii) such advances are repaid, with interest at the legal rate under Delaware law, if the person receiving such advance is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. DWR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Customer and its successors or assigns from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses (including in connection with the defense or settlement of claims; provided DWR has approved such settlement) incurred as a result of the activities of DWR or its affiliates, provided, further, that the act, omission, conduct, or activity giving rise to the claim for indemnification was the result of bad faith, misconduct or negligence. The indemnities provided in this Section 8 by the Customer to DWR and its affiliates shall be inapplicable in the event of any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses arising out of, or based upon, any material breach of any warranty, covenant, or agreement of DWR contained in this Agreement to the extent caused by such breach. Likewise, the indemnities provided in this Section 8 by DWR to the Customer and any of its successors and assigns shall be inapplicable in the event of any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses arising out of, or based upon, any material breach of any warranty, covenant, or agreement of the Customer contained in this Agreement to the extent caused by such breach. As used in this Section 8, the term "affiliate" of DWR shall mean: (i) any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of DWR; (ii) any partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity 10% or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned, controlled, or held with power to vote by DWR; (iii) any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, DWR; or (iv) any officer or director of DWR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "affiliates" for purposes of this Section 8 shall include only those persons acting on behalf of DWR within the scope of the authority of DWR, as set forth in this Agreement.
