Tax and Other Liabilities Neither Seller nor any Seller Subsidiary has any liability of any nature, accrued or contingent, including without limitation liabilities for Taxes and liabilities to customers or suppliers, other than the following:
Impositions and Other Claims Each Borrower shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied upon it, its income and its assets and the Properties prior to delinquency, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise, subject to any rights to contest contained in the definition of Permitted Encumbrances. Each Borrower shall file or cause to be filed all federal, state and local tax returns and other reports that it or its subsidiaries are required by law to file. If any law or regulation applicable to Lender, any Note, any of the Mortgage Loan Collateral Properties or any of the Mortgages is enacted that deducts from the value of property for the purpose of taxation any Lien thereon, or imposes upon Lender the payment of the whole or any portion of the taxes or assessments or charges or Liens required by this Agreement to be paid by Borrower, or changes in any way the laws or regulations relating to the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured by mortgages or security agreements or the interest of the mortgagee or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to affect any of the Mortgages, the Indebtedness or Lender, then Borrower, upon demand by Lender, shall pay such taxes, assessments, charges or Liens, or reimburse Lender for any amounts paid by Lender. If in the opinion of Lender’s counsel it might be unlawful to require Borrower to make such payment or the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law, Lender may elect to declare all of the Indebtedness to be due and payable 90 days from the giving of written notice by Lender to Borrower.

Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party to the extent the indemnifying party is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure and shall not in any event relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), which counsel (together with any local counsel) for the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 8(a) above) or by the Company (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 8(b) above) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are incurred.
Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures (a) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof.
