Indemnification of the Seller the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent and the Purchasers. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent and each Purchaser and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by any Indemnified Person by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions of the Servicer, including, but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, but excluding allocations of overhead expenses of any such Indemnified Party or other non-monetary damages of any such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not indemnify an Indemnified Person if such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury results or arises (i) as a result of fraud, gross negligence or breach of fiduciary duty by such Indemnified Person; and (ii) under any Tax law, including without limitation any federal, state or local income or franchise taxes or any other Tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) required to be paid by the Seller, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent or the Purchasers in connection herewith to any taxing authority. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 8.1 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, the recipient shall repay to the Servicer an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such indemnified amounts. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 6.19 is unavailable to the Indemnified Person or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, then Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Person on the one hand and Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Person as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 6.19 shall not be interpreted to provide recourse to the Seller against loss by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency (or other credit condition) of, or default by, related Obligor on, any Pool Asset. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section shall not be payable from the Assets. The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 6.19 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.
