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.

For purposes of this clause "Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this Agreement and "Successor Servicer" shall mean any Person designated as the Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Successor Servicers" pursuant to this Agreement.
Limitations on Indemnification (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2, Seller shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any of Buyer Indemnified Parties on account of any Buyer Indemnified Losses under Section 7.2 unless the liability of Seller in respect of such Buyer Indemnified Loss, when aggregated with the liability of Seller in respect of all Buyer Indemnified Losses under Section 7.2, exceeds $250,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnified Losses. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller under Section 7.2 of this Agreement exceed $2,000,000 (the “Ceiling Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Ceiling Amount shall be applicable to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(iii) or Section 7.2(iv) or with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in the first and second sentences of Section 3.2, Section 3.2(e), Section 3.8 and Section 3.10. Seller may satisfy any obligations arising pursuant to this Article 7 in any combination of cash or the surrender of Consideration Units for redemption (valued at $21.00 per Consideration Unit); provided that, Seller must provide written notice to Buyer of the intent to make a payment (in whole or in part) by surrendering Consideration Units for redemption at least five business days prior to the due date of any such payment.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any of the Seller Indemnified Parties on account of any Seller Indemnified Loss under Section 7.3 unless the liability of Buyer in respect of such Seller Indemnified Loss, when aggregated with the liability of Buyer in respect of all Seller Indemnified Losses under Section 7.3, exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Buyer in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnified Losses exceed the Threshold Amount. In no event shall Buyer be liable under Section 7.3 of this Agreement for any amount in excess of the Ceiling Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Ceiling Amount shall be applicable to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(iii) or Section 7.3(iv) or with respect the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in Section 4.6.
(c) The amount of indemnity claim hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any tax benefit actually realized by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of such claim.
(d) The amount of any indemnity claim hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any proceeds of insurance actually received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, in connection with such claim; provided, however, the foregoing shall not bar any insurance company that has made any payment to a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party from pursuing its lawful rights to subrogation.
