Service by the Indemnitee The Indemnitee shall serve and/or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company faithfully and to the best of the Indemnitee’s ability so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed and until such time as the Indemnitee’s successor is elected and qualified or the Indemnitee is removed as permitted by applicable law or tenders a resignation in writing.
Notification by the Indemnified Party If any Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that has given or may reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article 8, the Indemnified Party shall at its own expense promptly (and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Indemnified Party becoming so aware) notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article 8 (including any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party (including any Tax Authority)), that the applicable Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, whether by litigation, by arbitration, as a result of an investigation, or otherwise (each, a “Third-Party Claim”)), setting out the provisions under this Agreement on which such claim is based, and such other information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to assess the merits of the potential claim, to act to preserve evidence and to make such provision as it may consider necessary (including details of the legal and factual basis of the claim and the evidence on which the party relies (including where the claim is the result of a Third-Party Claim, evidence of the Third-Party Claim) and, to the extent reasonably ascertainable, setting out its estimate of the amount of Losses which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim) and the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably and promptly informed of any developments (including additional information which may become available to it) in respect of such facts, matters or circumstances; provided, however, that any failure or delay in providing such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 8 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or delay.
Claims by Third Parties The obligations and liabilities of an indemnifying party under any provision of this Agreement with respect to claims relating to third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Whenever any indemnified party shall have received notice that a claim has been asserted or threatened against such indemnified party, which, if valid, would subject the indemnifying party to an indemnity obligation under this Agreement, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such claim in the manner described in Paragraph 22; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement unless, and only to the extent that, such failure caused the damages for which the indemnifying party is obligated to be greater than they would have been had the indemnified party given timely notice.
(b) The indemnifying party or its designee will have the right but not the obligation, to assume the defense of any claim described in Paragraph 6 or 7 above, provided, however, the indemnified party shall have the right at its option to defend and to compromise or settle such claim which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnifying party, such consent not be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such claim within 15 days after receipt of notice of a claim pursuant to Paragraph 22, the indemnified party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake, at the indemnifying party's cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party, subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof and provided, however, that the indemnified party shall not enter into any such compromise or settlement without the written consent of the indemnifying party. In the event the indemnified party assumes defense of the claim, the indemnified party will keep the indemnifying party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its consent, but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment beyond review or appeal, for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Any party who does not undertake the defense of a claim may, at its own expense, retain such additional attorneys and other advisors as it shall deem necessary, which attorneys and advisors will be permitted by the party undertaking such defense, and its attorneys, to observe the defense of such claim.
Indemnification by the Custodian The Custodian agrees to indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damage, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever (including the fees and expenses of counsel) that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and successors and assigns as the result of any act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be liable for any portion of any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments or costs or expenses due to the Issuer’s, the Owner Trustee’s, the Trust Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s or the officers’, directors’, employees’ and agents’ thereof own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. In no event shall the Custodian be liable to any third party for acts or omissions of the Custodian.
