Securitization Indemnification (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects to the extent in Borrower’s possession. (b) Borrower agrees to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) Borrower has carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Collateral,” “Description of the Mezzanine Loans,” “The Operating Company,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mezzanine Loans,” and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral and/or Operating Company) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) indemnifying Lender, each Noteholder, JPM (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of JPM or a Noteholder that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of JPM or a Noteholder that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities provided, however, that Borrower shall have liability with respect to Liabilities arising out of or based upon the Covered Disclosure Information only to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made in the Covered Disclosure Information in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender or such Noteholder by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents or in connection with the underwriting or the closing of the Loan (including without limitation financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Properties), and in no event shall Borrower be liable for Liabilities arising from information contained in a Disclosure Document that was not provided to Borrower for comment at least five (5) Business Days prior to its dissemination or on which Borrower provided comments to Lender in writing and Lender failed to incorporate such comments (assuming such comments were accurate). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided. (c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act (if any), Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities. (d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify Borrower thereof, Borrower shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Borrower to an Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, Borrower shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to Borrower, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which Borrower is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person. (e) Without the prior consent of the Indemnified Person in question (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless Borrower shall have given such Indemnified Person reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as Borrower has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). (f) Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of Borrower, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) Borrower agrees that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization. (g) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrower further agrees that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2. (h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and Borrower under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Limited Liability Indemnification (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and except to the extent required by applicable law, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnitee in its capacity as a person of the type described in the definition of the term, “Indemnitee,” provided that such Indemnitee acted in good faith and such action or omission does not involve the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee did not act in good faith or that an action or omission involves gross negligence or willful misconduct. (b) The Partnership shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify each Indemnitee against expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding to which such Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of (i) such Indemnitee’s status as a General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner, any Person who is or was a director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent of the General Partner or any such Affiliate, or any Person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or any such Affiliate as a director, officer, manager, member, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another Person or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnitee in any capacity referred to in clause (i) of this Section 7.12(b), relating to this Agreement or the property, business, affairs or management of the Partnership Group (provided that the Indemnitee acted in good faith and the act or omission which is the basis of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding does not involve the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee). (c) Expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to Section 7.12(b) shall be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking (which need not be secured) by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership as authorized hereunder. (d) The indemnification provided by Section 7.12(b) shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in a capacity for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitee. (e) To the extent commercially reasonable, the Partnership shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Indemnitees against any liability which may be asserted against or expense which may be incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with the Partnership’s activities, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify an Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. (f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under Section 7.12(b) because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. (g) The provisions of this Section 7.12 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and the heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. (h) For purposes of this Section 7.12, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance of duties by such Indemnitee for the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.12(b); and action taken or omitted by an Indemnitee with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of duties by such Indemnitee for a purpose reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which does not involve gross negligence or willful misconduct. (i) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. (j) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.12 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership, nor the obligations of the Partnership to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided that such Person became an Indemnitee hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.
Insurance Indemnification 7.1 The Independent Contractor shall maintain a policy or policies of liability insurance with coverages (including, but not limited to, professional liability coverage) that is/are sufficient to protect NCISD and the Independent Contractor against any claims, demands, causes of action, or damages arising out of the Independent Contractor’s performance of services under this Agreement. The limits of liability of such policy(ies) shall be in an amount acceptable to NCISD. Such policy(ies) (i) shall be written by companies authorized to issue such insurance policy(ies) in the State of Texas, (ii) shall and must name NCISD as an additional insured, and (iii) shall contain no specific limitations on the coverage afforded additional insureds. 7.2 THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, SAVE, AND DEFEND NCISD AND NCISD’S OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, AND DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROVISION OF SERVICES BY THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, OR ANY NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
Cooperation by the Indemnified Party The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in defending against a Third-Party Claim. In connection with any fact, matter, event or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall ensure that each relevant member of the Indemnified Party’s Group: (i) shall preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim to the extent within the control of the Indemnified Party’s Group, (ii) shall allow the Indemnifying Party to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim, and (iii) shall (at the Indemnified Party’s expense) disclose to the Indemnifying Party all material of which it is aware which relates to the claim and provide, and procure that any other relevant members of the Indemnified Party’s Group shall provide (at the Indemnified Party’s expense), all such information and assistance, including reasonable access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, subject to the Indemnifying Party agreeing in such form as the Indemnified Party may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Indemnified Party to disclose any documents or information that may be reasonably expected to result in a violation of applicable Law or the loss or waiver of any attorney-client, work product or similar legal privilege; provided further that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall work in good faith to put in place appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to permit such disclosure without such violation, loss or waiver.
Indemnification of Underwriters The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows: (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, (A) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any untrue statement or omission, or any alleged untrue statement or omission in either case of the nature described in clause (i) above; provided that any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
Defense and Indemnification 12.1 Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend (with attorneys approved by City), and hold harmless the City, and its officers, officials, agents and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, costs or liability that arise out of, or pertain to, or relate to the Consultant, its employees, agents, and subcontractors performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant’s duty to indemnify under this section shall not include liability for damages for death or bodily injury to persons, injury to property, or other loss, damage or expense arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct by the City or its elected officials, officers, agents, and employees. Consultant's indemnification obligations shall not be limited by the insurance provisions of this Agreement. The Parties expressly agree that any payment, attorney's fees, costs or expense City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City's self-administered workers' compensation is included as a loss, expense, or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement. 12.2 This indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies which City may have under the law or this Agreement. In the event of any claim or demand made against any party which is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, City may, at its sole discretion, reserve, retain or apply any monies due to Consultant under this Agreement for the purpose of resolving such claims; provided however, that City may release such funds if Consultant provides City with reasonable assurances of protection of the City's interest. The City shall, in its sole discretion determine whether such assurances are reasonable. 12.3 Consultant agrees that its duty to defend arises upon an allegation of liability based upon the performance of services under this Agreement by Consultant, its officers, agents, representatives, employees, sub-consultants, or anyone for whom Consultant is liable and that an adjudication of Consultant’s liability is not a condition precedent to Consultant's duty to defend.
Indemnification of Underwriter The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of any Registration Statement, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) of the Act or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the enforcement of this provision with respect to any of the above as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.
