This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Manager may otherwise have.
Indemnification by Purchaser Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors (the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and shall reimburse the applicable Seller Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee which result from:
(a) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and
(b) Litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions or decrees, the basis for which occurred after the Agreement Date, resulting from any of the items described in Section 11.02(a) above; provided, however, that the applicable Seller Indemnitee has taken all commercially reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses as reasonably requested by Purchaser, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Purchaser of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.02 but may affect the amount of such obligation; and further provided, that any Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitee pursuant to any attempt to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses shall be reimbursed by Purchaser as part of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.02. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”). Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Seller Indemnitee, but may not enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Seller Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself but shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any exercise of such rights by a Seller Indemnitee shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 11.02 or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the applicable Seller Indemnitee shall be required to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third-Party Claim.
Indemnification by Servicer The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Depositor and their respective officers, directors, agents and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or Affiliates of its obligations under Sections 3.17, 3.18 and 3.20, any material misstatement or omission in any documents prepared thereunder (to the extent the Servicer is responsible for providing information or calculating amounts included in such information), the failure of such Servicer or any related Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor to deliver or cause to be delivered when required any Assessment of Compliance or Accountant's Attestation required of it pursuant to Section 3.18 or Annual Statement of Compliance required pursuant to Section 3.17, as applicable, or any material misstatement or omission contained in any Assessment of Compliance, Accountant's Attestation or Annual Statement as to Compliance provided on its behalf pursuant to Section 3.18 or 3.17, as applicable, or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified parties, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Servicer on the one hand and the indemnified parties on the other.
Indemnification by Parent Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Parent shall, and shall cause the other members of the Parent Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless SpinCo, each member of the SpinCo Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “SpinCo Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the SpinCo Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(d) except to the extent it relates to a SpinCo Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the Parent Group by any member of the SpinCo Group that survives following the Distribution; and
(e) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements made explicitly in Parent’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if SpinCo shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document; it being agreed that the statements set forth on Schedule 4.3(e) shall be the only statements made explicitly in Parent’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document, and all other information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document shall be deemed to be information supplied by SpinCo.
Indemnification by Lessee Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, save and keep harmless Lessor and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, unitholders, members, partners, managers, agents, employees, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lessor Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Lessor Indemnified Parties, in any way and to the extent relating to or arising out of (a) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement made or undertaken by Lessee in this Lease, or (b) the exercise of Lessee’s Parties’ rights under Section 2.2(a); provided, however, Lessee shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Lessor Indemnified Parties for any such Claim under clauses (a) or (b) to the extent resulting from or arising out of the willful misconduct or negligence of any of the Lessor Indemnified Parties. To the extent that the Lessor Indemnified Parties in fact receive full indemnification payments from Lessee under the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.2, Lessee shall be subrogated to the Lessor Indemnified Parties’ rights with respect to the transaction or event requiring or giving rise to such indemnity. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL LESSEE BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE UNDER OR ON ACCOUNT OF THIS LEASE, EXCEPT THOSE PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES FOR WHICH LESSEE WOULD BE LIABLE UNDER THIS SECTION.
