Any such indemnification shall be only from the assets of the Index Fund.
The Index Fund’s limited partnership agreement also provides that the Index Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless each limited partner from and against any expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim arising from the personal liability of any limited partners to creditors of the Index Fund, except to the extent provided in Section 8.5(f) of the limited partnership agreement for debts, liabilities and other obligations of the Index Fund.
