(b) the Purchaser and its Affiliates (other than the Company Indemnified Parties) (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties” and together with the Company Indemnified Parties, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from: (i) any breach of a Fundamental Representation by such Seller; (ii) any breach of any other representation or warranty by such Seller contained in Section 3.1; (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed by such Seller; or (iv) Seller Transaction Expenses to the extent they were incurred prior to the Closing and were not considered in calculating the Equity Value or the Distribution Amount. provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any indemnifiable Losses incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty made by a Seller or from the breach of a covenant or agreement made by a Seller shall be indemnified solely by the breaching Seller in accordance with this Article VIII, and not by any other Seller; provided further, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing indemnification with respect to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties is intended to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties only for Losses suffered or incurred by them directly and is not intended to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to Losses suffered by a Company Indemnified Party or that they may suffer or incur solely by virtue of their direct or indirect equity ownership in a Company Indemnified Party.
Indemnification by Seller (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1(b), 7.4 and 7.5 below, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates, and each of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and representatives (each a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Purchaser Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, payments and obligations, and all expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal fees (collectively “Losses”), incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid, directly or indirectly, by, or sought to be imposed upon, such Purchaser Indemnitee resulting from, related to or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement or the agreements or documents delivered by Seller pursuant to Sections 5.1(b)(i), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), and (ix); provided, however, that (ix) shall be limited to documents that are necessary to convey to Purchaser title to the Purchased Assets; (ii) any breach of any of the covenants made by Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 5.1(b)(ii)) or the agreements or documents delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(iii), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix); provided, however, that (ix) shall be limited to documents that are necessary to convey to Purchaser title to the Purchased Assets; (iii) the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, including with respect to Taxes and bulk sales laws; and (iv) the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date. The lack of indemnity under this Section 7.1(a) for breaches shall not limit the remedies that may be available to Purchaser under the Noncompetition Agreement. (b) Each Purchaser Indemnitee shall promptly give written notice to Seller of the assertion by any Person of any claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which Seller is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the rights of a Purchaser Indemnitee to be indemnified hereunder shall only be affected by the failure to give such notice if and to the extent such failure prejudices Seller in the defense of such third party claim. Amounts due with respect to Losses covered by this Section 7.1 shall be paid promptly after delivery of reasonably documented written notice of the amount of Losses incurred, and if Seller disputes the validity of the notice or the amounts of the Losses and such dispute is ultimately resolved wholly or partially in favor of the Purchaser Indemnitee, Seller shall promptly pay the amount found owing. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contest, defend or litigate, and to retain counsel of its choice in connection with, any claim, action, suit or proceeding by any third party alleged or asserted against a Purchaser Indemnitee that is subject to indemnification by Seller hereunder, and the cost and expense thereof shall be subject to the indemnification obligations and limitations of Seller hereunder; provided, that each Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right and option to participate in, but not control, the defense of such action at its own expense and with its own counsel; and provided, further, that, (i) if Seller elects not to defend any such action or (ii) if a Purchaser Indemnitee shall reasonably believe that it has defenses not available to Seller and if counsel to Purchaser shall advise in a written opinion that common representation is not appropriate, then such Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled, through counsel of its choice, but at Seller’s expense (should indemnification be applicable), to participate in the defense of such action. Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor any Purchaser Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be entitled to settle or compromise any such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Indemnification by Buyer (a) After the Closing and subject to this Article VII, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees against, and reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, all Liabilities that the Seller Indemnitees may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to: (i) as a result of or in connection with the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in Article IV or contained in any certificate or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto; or (ii) as a result of or in connection with any breach or failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees against, or reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, any Liabilities pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i): (i) until the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnitees’ Liabilities for which the Seller Indemnitees are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 7.3(a)(i) exceeds the Deductible, after which Buyer shall be obligated for all the Seller Indemnitees’ Liabilities for which the Seller Indemnitees are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 7.3(a)(i) (but only Liabilities in excess of the Deductible) and (ii) in a cumulative aggregate amount with respect to indemnification under Section 7.3(a)(i) exceeding the Indemnification Cap. The foregoing limitation in this Section 7.3(b) shall not apply to any claim arising under Section 7.3(a)(ii) or any claim arising from the Fraud of the Buyer. (c) The Buyer shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees against, or reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, any Liabilities pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Purchase Price. The foregoing limitation in this Section 7.3(c) shall not apply to any claim arising from the Fraud of the Buyer. (d) The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of Buyer and any Seller Indemnitee’s right to indemnification with respect thereto shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Seller Indemnitees (including by any of their respective Representatives) or by reason of the fact that such Seller Indemnitee or any of such Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate, (ii) the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, agreement or obligation or (iii) the Closing.
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 Buyers (a) Subject to this Article 11, Buyers, from and after Closing, shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, equity holders, managers, members, principals, attorneys, agents, employees or other representatives (collectively, “Sellers Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses that such Sellers Indemnified Party incurs as a result of, or with respect to (i) the breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyers in this Agreement, (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any of the covenants or other agreements made by Buyers in this Agreement, (iii) any of the Assumed Liabilities, and (iv) any fraud, willful misconduct or criminal acts of Buyers or their officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, agents and independent contractors; (b) Buyers will have no obligation to indemnify Sellers Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) in respect of Indemnifiable Losses arising from the breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty described therein unless the aggregate amount of all such Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by Sellers Indemnified Parties exceeds $700,000, in which event the Sellers Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to seek indemnification under Sections 11.2(a)(i) for all claims over $350,000; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation will not apply to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) in respect of breaches of, or inaccuracies in, representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1 (Organization; Capacity) or Section 5.2 (Authority; Noncontravention) (collectively, “Buyers Fundamental Representations”). For avoidance of doubt, claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) are not subject to the monetary limitation set forth in this Section 11.2(b); and (c) Buyers’ aggregate liability in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) and (ii) will not exceed an amount equal to the 20% Cap for its breach of representations, warranties and covenants other than the Buyers Fundamental Representations. Buyer’s aggregate liability in respect of claims for indemnification under this Agreement will not exceed the Purchase Price Cap, except that Buyers’ aggregate liability in respect of claims pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iii) shall not be subject to the 20% Cap or the Purchase Price Cap. (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, obligations of Buyer under Section 10.1, 10.2 and Section 10.13 shall not be subject to the monetary limitation set forth in Section 11.2(b) or the 20% Cap or the Purchase Price Cap in Section 11.2(c).
Liability of Servicer; Indemnification (a) The Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer and the Servicer shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Home Equity Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement. (b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Owner may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Home Equity Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and/or Owner in respect of such claim. The Trustee shall, in accordance with written instructions received from the Servicer, reimburse the Servicer only from amounts otherwise distributable on the Class R Certificates for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence, except when a final nonappealable adjudication determines that the claim relates directly to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties in compliance with the Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Trustee, and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
Liability of Seller; Indemnities The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement. (a) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to the transactions or activities contemplated in this Agreement and any of the Basic Documents (except any income taxes arising out of fees paid to the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee and except any taxes to which the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee may otherwise be subject to, without regard to the transactions contemplated hereby), including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to, federal or other income taxes arising out of distributions on the Notes) and costs and expenses in defending against the same. (b) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent and the officers, directors, employees and agents thereof and the Noteholders from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of (i) the Seller’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement and (ii) the Seller’s or the Issuer’s violation of federal or state securities laws in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes. (c) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent and the officers, directors, employees and agents thereof from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of, or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties set forth herein and in the Basic Documents except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Owner Trustee, Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, respectively. Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent and the termination of this Agreement or the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as applicable, and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other expenses of litigation. If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 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 Seller, without interest.
Buyer Indemnification Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, damages and liabilities arising from Buyer' breach of their representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.
Indemnification by Purchasers Each Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review) arising solely out of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Purchaser to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Purchaser or such Purchaser's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6.2(c)(v)-(vii), the use by such Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5. In no event shall the liability of any selling Purchaser hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
Seller Indemnification (a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser against any and all Damages. “Damages,” as used herein, shall include any claim, action, demand, loss, cost, expense, liability (joint or several), penalty and other damage, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in investigation or in attempting to avoid the same or oppose the imposition thereof or in enforcing this indemnity, resulting to Purchaser from (i) any inaccurate representation made by or on behalf of The Seller or the Company in this Agreement or any certificate or other document referenced in, this Agreement and delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) the breach of any of the warranties or agreements made by or on behalf of the Seller or the Company in this Agreement or any certificate or other document referenced in this Agreement and delivered pursuant hereto, or (iii) the breach or default in the performance by the Seller of any of the obligations to be performed hereunder. The Seller agrees to pay or reimburse the Purchaser for any payment made or amount payable or loss suffered or incurred by the Purchaser at any time from and after the Closing in respect of any Damages to which the foregoing indemnity relates. (b) If any claim shall be asserted against Purchaser by a third party for which Purchaser intends to seek indemnification from the Seller under this Section, Purchaser shall given written notice to the Seller of the nature of the claim asserted within forty-five (45) days after any executive officer of Purchaser learns of the assertion thereof and determines that the Purchaser may have a right of indemnification with respect thereto, but the failure to give this notice will not relieve the Seller of any liability hereunder in respect of this claim. The Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, which counsel is approved by the Seller (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld), the defense of any such claim or action, and may compromise or settle such claims or actions with the prior consent of the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
