• Indemnification by the Servicer (a) The Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Servicer Indemnified Party”), from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of activities of the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including any judgment, award, settlement, Attorney Costs and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as, “Servicer Indemnified Amounts”); excluding (i) any portion of Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such portion of such Servicer Indemnified Amounts resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Servicer Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (ii) Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim and (iii) Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Pool Receivables that are uncollectible solely on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Servicer shall pay on demand, to each Servicer Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Servicer Indemnified Party from and against any and all Servicer Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following (but excluding Servicer Indemnified Amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above): (i) any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Servicer (or any of its respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, any Monthly Report, any Interim Report or any other written information or written report delivered by or on behalf of the Servicer pursuant hereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made; (ii) the failure by the Servicer to comply with any Applicable Law with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such Applicable Law; (iii) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds; (iv) any failure of a Collection Account Bank to comply with the terms of the applicable Account Control Agreement, the termination by a Collection Account Bank of any Account Control Agreement or any amounts (including in respect of an indemnity) payable by the Administrative Agent to a Collection Account Bank under any Account Control Agreement; (v) [reserved]; (vi) the failure or delay to provide any Obligor with an invoice or other evidence of indebtedness; or (vii) any failure of the Servicer to comply with its covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. (b) If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable (other than pursuant to the exclusions contained in Section 12.02(a)) to any Servicer Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Servicer Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Servicer and its Affiliates on the one hand and such Servicer Indemnified Party on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Servicer and its Affiliates and such Servicer Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Servicer under this Section shall be in addition to (but without duplication of) any liability which the Servicer may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to Servicer Indemnified Party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Servicer and the Servicer Indemnified Parties. (c) Any indemnification or contribution under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

• Indemnification by the Seller The Seller shall indemnify each Affected Person, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any (I) Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and (II) Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) that arise because an Investment or any Capital is not treated for U.S. federal, state or local income and franchise tax purposes consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment (such indemnification will include any U.S. federal, state or local income and franchise taxes necessary to make such Affected Person whole on an after-Tax basis taking into account the taxability of receipt of payments under this clause (II) and any reasonable expenses (other than Taxes) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the foregoing). Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Indemnified Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice by the Administrative Agent or any Affected Person, the Seller shall pay such Indemnified Taxes directly to the relevant taxing authority or Governmental Authority (or to the Administrative Agent or such Affected Person if such Taxes have already been paid to the relevant taxing authority or Governmental Authority); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Affected Person shall be under any obligation to provide any such notice to the Seller. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer shall indemnify each Affected Person for the full amount of any Taxes described in clause (I) or clause (II) of this Section 4.03(c) to the extent that the Seller and its Affiliates have not already indemnified such Affected Person for such Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Seller and its Affiliates to do so.

• Indemnification by the Sellers Each of the Sellers, severally and jointly, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, without duplication, the Purchasers, each of the Purchasers’ Affiliates and each of their respective officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties,” and together with the Seller Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses that such Purchaser Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, that, directly or indirectly, arise out of or relate to (a) any failure by the Sellers to perform their obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, or any other breach or violation by the Sellers of the terms hereof, (b) the exercise by the Sellers of any right, power or discretion in relation to a Serviced Appointment, including (i) with respect to any Retained Duties (except to the extent the Sellers were acting in accordance with the instructions of the Purchasers in performing the Retained Duties or were acting as backup advancing agent pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Retained Duty”; provided that Sellers shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses that such Purchaser Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, that, directly or indirectly, arise out of or relate to any Losses arising out of or relate to the Sellers’ negligent failure to make a backup advance as required pursuant to such Retained Duty) or (ii) with respect to any Excluded Appointment, the matters for which Seller and its Affiliates are responsible pursuant to Section 3.9 and (c) any action taken or omitted to be taken by the applicable Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with a written direction given by any Seller (other than pursuant to Section 3.4.6), including any Specified Action taken (or omitted to be taken) by the Purchasers at the direction of the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.9, in each case of this clause (c) except to the extent the applicable Purchaser was negligent in taking or omitting to take such action.

• Additional Indemnification by the Servicer The Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Trust Fund and the NIMS Insurer and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses (collectively, the “Liabilities”) that the indemnified party may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to its obligation to provide the certification pursuant to Section 5.05(b) hereunder) or for any inaccurate or misleading information provided in the certification required pursuant to Section 5.05(b). The Servicer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans that may result in such Liabilities, and the Servicer shall assume (with the prior written consent of the indemnified party) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any indemnified party in respect of such claim and follow any written instructions received from the such indemnified party in connection with such claim. The Servicer shall be reimbursed promptly from the Trust Fund for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Servicer’s indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02, or the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event a dispute arises between the Servicer and an indemnified party with respect to any of the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to this Agreement, and such dispute is adjudicated in a court of law, by an arbitration panel or any other judicial process, then the losing party (if the Trustee, the Trust Fund) shall indemnify and reimburse the winning party for all attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses related to the adjudication of said dispute.

• Additional Indemnification by the Servicer; Third Party Claims The Servicer shall indemnify the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) and the Trust Fund, and hold them harmless against any and all Costs that any such indemnified party may sustain in any way related to (i) the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to its obligation to provide the certification pursuant to Section 5.03(b) hereunder) or for any inaccurate or misleading information provided in the certification required pursuant to Section 5.03(b) or (ii) the failure of the Servicer to cause any event to occur or not to occur which would have occurred or would not have occurred, as applicable, if the Servicer were applying Accepted Servicing Practices under this Agreement.

Subject to the Servicer’s indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02, or the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Trust Fund shall indemnify the Servicer and hold the Servicer harmless against any and all Costs that the Servicer may sustain in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the origination or Servicing of the Mortgage Loans by any prior owner or servicer, other than any Costs incurred by reason of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
