judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Company or the
Funds in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates,
except for a loss resulting from UMBFS's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by
it of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. UMBFS agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its employees, agents, officers,
directors and nominees from and against any and all claims, demands,
actions and suits, and from and against all judgments, liabilities,
losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, and other expenses of every

believes presents or appears likely to present a Claim for which the
indemnifying party may be required to indemnify or hold indemnified party
harmless hereunder. In such event, the indemnifying party shall have the
option to defend the indemnified party against any Claim, and in the event
that the indemnifying party so elects, such defense shall be conducted by
counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified
party in its reasonable discretion. The indemnified party shall not
confess any Claim or make any compromise in any case in which the

the indemnifying party's prior written consent. The obligations of the
parties under Sections 8.01, 8.02, and 8.03 shall survive the termination

or equitable theory for lost profits, exemplary, punitive, special,
indirect or consequential damages for any act or failure to act under any
provision of this Agreement regardless of whether such damages were
foreseeable and even if advised of the possibility thereof."
