Expenses of Counsel In the event of a transaction which is a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Voting Agreement of even date herewith among the Investors, the Company and the other parties named therein), the reasonable fees and disbursements, not to exceed $100,000, of one counsel for the Major Investors (“Investor Counsel”), in their capacities as stockholders, shall be borne and paid by the Company. At the outset of considering a transaction which, if consummated would constitute a Sale of the Company, the Company shall obtain the ability to share with the Investor Counsel (and such counsel’s clients) and shall share the confidential information (including, without limitation, the initial and all subsequent drafts of memoranda of understanding, letters of intent and other transaction documents and related non-compete, employment, consulting and other compensation agreements and plans) pertaining to and memorializing any of the transactions which, individually or when aggregated with others would constitute the Sale of the Company. The Company shall be obligated to share (and cause the Company’s counsel and investment bankers to share) such materials when distributed to the Company’s executives and/or any one or more of the other parties to such transaction(s). In the event that Investor Counsel deems it appropriate, in its reasonable discretion, to enter into a joint defense agreement or other arrangement to enhance the ability of the parties to protect their communications and other reviewed materials under the attorney client privilege, the Company shall, and shall direct its counsel to, execute and deliver to Investor Counsel and its clients such an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Investor Counsel. In the event that one or more of the other party or parties to such transactions require the clients of Investor Counsel to enter into a confidentiality agreement and/or joint defense agreement in order to receive such information, then the Company shall share whatever information can be shared without entry into such agreement and shall, at the same time, in good faith work expeditiously to enable Investor Counsel and its clients to negotiate and enter into the appropriate agreement(s) without undue burden to the clients of Investor Counsel.

Escrow Agent is authorized to, and may, disburse to itself from the Escrow Funds, from time to time, the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof). Escrow Agent shall notify the Company Representatives and the Officer of any disbursement from the Escrow Funds to itself or any Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and shall furnish to the Company Representatives and the Officer copies of all related invoices and other statements. The Officer, the Company and the Representatives hereby grant to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties a security interest in and lien upon the Escrow Funds to secure all obligations with respect to the right to offset the amount of any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof) against the Escrow Funds.

Subject to Section 8.05(b), the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of it, shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including any unreimbursed fees or expenses for work relating to an appointment of a successor Servicer under Section 7.02 herein, but not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of its performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee in connection with any claim or legal action or any pending or threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from the Servicer’s actions or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or (iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of the its obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, in respect of the indemnification provided by this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Trustee.
(b) As a limitation on the foregoing with respect to certain expenses of the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee, the Trustee shall receive from the Trust Fund amounts with respect to indemnification for reasonable counsel fees and expenses (collectively, “Legal Fees”) in connection with any third-party litigation or other claims alleging violations of laws or regulations relating to consumer lending and/or servicing of the Trust Fund (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) in an amount not greater than $25,000 per month, and $600,000 in the aggregate (with amounts in excess of $25,000 for any month carried-forward to subsequent months, until the $600,000 aggregate maximum is reached). The amounts, if any, described in the preceding sentence, shall be paid on each Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a)(3)(xx) hereof to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to incur additional expenses for which reimbursement is limited pursuant to this paragraph in excess of the aggregate limit set forth above unless it has received reasonable security or indemnity for such additional expenses. The Certificateholders shall hold the Trustee harmless for any consequences to such Certificateholders resulting from any failure of the Trustee to incur any such additional expenses in excess of the aforementioned aggregate limit.
(c) Without limiting the Servicer’s indemnification obligations under Section 6.03, the Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.
(d) The Depositor shall pay any annual rating agency fees of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Fitch for ongoing surveillance from its own funds without right of reimbursement.
(e) The Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and each Holder of a Non-Offered Certificate a report detailing all payments from the Trust Fund made with respect to Legal Fees on account of Third-Party Claims. The report shall be delivered monthly, promptly following any month in which such payments were made.
