Exculpation and Indemnification (a) No Protected Person shall be liable to the Company or any Manager or any other Member for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by other Person with respect to the Company, including any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a liability resulting from such Protected Person’s own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any intentional and material breach of this Agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). With the prior consent of the Board, any Protected Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to Company affairs (including interpretations of this Agreement) and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants. In determining whether a Protected Person acted with the requisite degree of care, such Protected Person shall be entitled to rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of the directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and professional advisors of the Company selected with reasonable care; provided that no such Protected Person may rely upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false.
Limitation of Liability Indemnification (a) None of the Property Manager, its affiliates, or any of their respective directors, members, stockholders, partners, officers, employees or controlling persons (collectively, “Managing Parties”) shall be liable to the Series or the Company for (i) any act or omission performed or failed to be performed by any Managing Party (other than any criminal wrongdoing) arising from the exercise of such Managing Party’s rights or obligations hereunder, or for any losses, claims, costs, damages, or liabilities arising therefrom, in the absence of criminal wrongdoing, willful misfeasance or gross negligence on the part of such Managing Party, (ii) any tax liability imposed on the Series or the [SERIES] Asset, or (iii) any losses due to the actions or omissions of the Series or any brokers or other current or former agents or advisers of the Series.
Indemnification and Limitation of Liability (a) To the fullest extent that limitations on the liability of Trustees and officers are permitted by the DSTA, the officers and Trustees shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any act or omission of: any agent or employee of the Trust; any Investment Adviser or Principal Underwriter of the Trust; or with respect to each Trustee and officer, the act or omission of any other Trustee or officer, respectively. The Trust, out of the Trust Property, shall indemnify and hold harmless each and every officer and Trustee from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever arising out of or related to such officer’s or Trustee’s performance of his or her duties as an officer or Trustee of the Trust. This limitation on liability applies to events occurring at the time a Person serves as a Trustee or officer of the Trust whether or not such Person is a Trustee or officer at the time of any proceeding in which liability is asserted. Nothing herein contained shall indemnify, hold harmless or protect any officer or Trustee from or against any liability to the Trust or any Shareholder to which such Person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Person’s office.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification State Street shall be held to a standard of reasonable care in carrying out its duties under this Agreement. State Street shall be responsible for the performance of only such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided under Section XVI, shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including other service providers. State Street shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder unless caused by or resulting from the negligence, reckless misconduct, willful malfeasance or lack of good faith of State Street, its officers or employees and, in such event, such liability will be subject to the limitations set forth in Section XIII herein.

This disclaimer applies without limitation to claims regardless of the form of action, whether in contract (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise and regardless of whether such damages are foreseeable.

The remedies provided in this paragraph are not exclusive of or limit any other remedies that may be available to State Street or any other Trust Indemnified Person.

In the event that State Street is required to provide indemnification under this Section XII, its liability shall be limited as described under Section XIII below. The remedies provided in this paragraph are not exclusive of or limit any other remedies that may be available to the Trust or any other State Street Indemnified Person. The indemnification and limitation of liability contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Indemnification and Save Harmless Provision The Association agrees to indemnify and hold the Board harmless against any liability which may arise by reason of any action taken by the Board in complying with the provisions of this Article.
Procedure for Indemnification Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent the defense of such action by the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonable satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such section for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation, If an indemnifying party assume the defense of such an action: (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonable withheld) unless: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person which is not fully remedied by the payment referred to in clause; (ii) no adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party; and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; (b) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be reasonably withheld); and (c) the indemnified party will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of such action. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any action and it does not, within fifteen days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be bound by any determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determined in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an action may materially and adversely affect it or its affiliated other than as a result of monetary damages, such indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action, but the indemnifying party shall not be bound by any determination of an action so defended or any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Survival of Indemnification Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, any election hereunder or any termination of this Agreement, and whether or not this Agreement is otherwise carried out, the provisions of Section 5 shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be in any way affected by, such election or termination or failure to carry out the terms of this Agreement or any part hereof.
