Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer's (or any such Sub-Servicer's) written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Obligations of the Depositary, the Custodian and the Issuer The Issuer assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to Owners or holders of Receipts, except that it agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. The Depositary assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any Owner or holder of any Receipt (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities), except that it agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. Neither the Depositary nor the Issuer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the Receipts, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense and liability shall be furnished as often as may be required, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation whatsoever with respect to such proceedings, the responsibility of the Custodian being solely to the Depositary. Neither the Depositary nor the Issuer shall be liable for any action or nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary. The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or nonaction is in good faith. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of this Deposit Agreement.

Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer hereunder or otherwise. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
Liability of Depositor; Indemnities (a) The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Depositor under this Agreement.
(b) The Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (in such role and as successor Servicer) from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to, and as of the date of, the transfer of the Receivables to the Trust or the issuance and original sale of the Notes or the Certificates, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of the Trust, not including any taxes asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables or federal or other Applicable Tax State income taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents), and all costs and expenses in defending against such taxes.
(c) The Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (in such role and as successor Servicer), the Noteholders and the Certificateholders from and against any loss, liability, claim, action, suit, costs or expense incurred by reason of (i) the Depositor’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or by reason of a reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and (ii) the Depositor’s violation of federal or State securities laws in connection with the registration or the sale of the Notes.
(d) The Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (in such role and as successor Servicer) and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all costs, expenses, losses, claims, actions, suits, damages and liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties contained herein and in the Trust Agreement, in the case of the Owner Trustee, and in the Indenture, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (i) shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, (ii) in the case of the Owner Trustee, shall arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee of any of its representations or warranties set forth in the Trust Agreement, (iii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, shall arise from the breach by the Indenture Trustee of any of its representations and warranties set forth in the Indenture or (iv) relates to any tax other than the taxes with respect to which either the Depositor or the Servicer shall be required to indemnify the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.
(e) The Depositor shall pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate. Indemnification under this Section 6.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee (in such role and as successor Servicer) and the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation including those incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s right to indemnification. If the Depositor shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 6.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Depositor, without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Depositor shall only be required to pay (i) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under the Transaction Documents from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in this Agreement and (ii) to the extent the Depositor has additional funds available (other than funds described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of the Depositor in accordance with the Depositor’s certificate of formation, operating agreement and all financing documents to which the Depositor is a party. The agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, no amount owing by the Depositor hereunder in excess of liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against it.
