Indemnification by the Sellers Each of the Sellers, severally and jointly, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, without duplication, the Purchasers, each of the Purchasers’ Affiliates and each of their respective officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties,” and together with the Seller Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses that such Purchaser Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, that, directly or indirectly, arise out of or relate to (a) any failure by the Sellers to perform their obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, or any other breach or violation by the Sellers of the terms hereof, (b) the exercise by the Sellers of any right, power or discretion in relation to a Serviced Appointment, including (i) with respect to any Retained Duties (except to the extent the Sellers were acting in accordance with the instructions of the Purchasers in performing the Retained Duties or were acting as backup advancing agent pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Retained Duty”; provided that Sellers shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses that such Purchaser Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, that, directly or indirectly, arise out of or relate to any Losses arising out of or relate to the Sellers’ negligent failure to make a backup advance as required pursuant to such Retained Duty) or (ii) with respect to any Excluded Appointment, the matters for which Seller and its Affiliates are responsible pursuant to Section 3.9 and (c) any action taken or omitted to be taken by the applicable Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with a written direction given by any Seller (other than pursuant to Section 3.4.6), including any Specified Action taken (or omitted to be taken) by the Purchasers at the direction of the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.9, in each case of this clause (c) except to the extent the applicable Purchaser was negligent in taking or omitting to take such action.
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.
Indemnification by and Reimbursement of the Servicer The Owner Trustee acknowledges and agrees to reimburse (i) the Servicer and its directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with Section 6.03(b) of the Servicing Agreement and (ii) the Depositor and its directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Trust Sale Agreement. The Owner Trustee further acknowledges and accepts the conditions and limitations with respect to the Servicer’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the Owner Trustee harmless as set forth in Section 6.01(a)(iv) of the Servicing Agreement.
Indemnification by the Servicer (a) The Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Servicer Indemnified Party”), from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of activities of the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including any judgment, award, settlement, Attorney Costs and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as, “Servicer Indemnified Amounts”); excluding (i) any portion of Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such portion of such Servicer Indemnified Amounts resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Servicer Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (ii) Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim and (iii) Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Pool Receivables that are uncollectible solely on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Servicer shall pay on demand, to each Servicer Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Servicer Indemnified Party from and against any and all Servicer Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following (but excluding Servicer Indemnified Amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above): (i) any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Servicer (or any of its respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, any Monthly Report, any Interim Report or any other written information or written report delivered by or on behalf of the Servicer pursuant hereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made; (ii) the failure by the Servicer to comply with any Applicable Law with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such Applicable Law; (iii) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds; (iv) any failure of a Collection Account Bank to comply with the terms of the applicable Account Control Agreement, the termination by a Collection Account Bank of any Account Control Agreement or any amounts (including in respect of an indemnity) payable by the Administrative Agent to a Collection Account Bank under any Account Control Agreement; (v) [reserved]; (vi) the failure or delay to provide any Obligor with an invoice or other evidence of indebtedness; or (vii) any failure of the Servicer to comply with its covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. (b) If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable (other than pursuant to the exclusions contained in Section 12.02(a)) to any Servicer Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Servicer Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Servicer and its Affiliates on the one hand and such Servicer Indemnified Party on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Servicer and its Affiliates and such Servicer Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Servicer under this Section shall be in addition to (but without duplication of) any liability which the Servicer may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to Servicer Indemnified Party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Servicer and the Servicer Indemnified Parties. (c) Any indemnification or contribution under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Limitation of Liability of the Sub-Adviser Neither the Sub-adviser nor any of its officers, directors, or employees, nor any person performing executive, administrative, trading, or other functions for the applicable Fund (at the direction or request of the Sub-adviser) or the Sub-adviser in connection with the Sub-adviser’s discharge of its obligations undertaken or reasonably assumed with respect to this Agreement, shall be liable for (i) any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund or (ii) any error of fact or mistake of law contained in any report or data provided by the Sub-adviser, except for any error, mistake or loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its or his duties on behalf of the Fund or from reckless disregard by the Sub-adviser or any such person of the duties of the Sub-adviser pursuant to this Agreement.
Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties of the Servicer It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01 shall survive the engagement of the Servicer to perform the servicing responsibilities as of each Closing Date and the delivery of the Servicing Files to the Servicer and shall inure to the benefit of the Owner. Upon discovery by either the Servicer or the Owner of a Breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the ability of the Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property or the interest of the Owner (in the case of any of the foregoing, a "Breach"), the party discovering such Breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Servicer of any Breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 6.01 which materially and adversely affects the ability of the Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall use its Best Efforts promptly to cure such Breach in all material respects and, if such Breach cannot be cured, the Servicer shall, at the Owner's option, assign the Servicer's rights and obligations under this Agreement (or respecting the affected Mortgage Loans) to a successor servicer, subject to the approval of the Owner, which approval shall be in the Owner's sole discretion. Such assignment shall be made in accordance with Section 10.01. In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify the Owner and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a Breach of the Servicer representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. Any cause of action against the Servicer relating to or arising out of the Breach of any representations and warranties made in Section 6.01 shall accrue upon (i) discovery of such Breach by the Servicer or notice thereof by the Owner to the Servicer, (ii) failure by the Servicer to cure such Breach within the applicable cure period, and (iii) demand upon the Servicer by the Owner for compliance with this Agreement.
Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority to (i) modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect each Holder’s interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action, and the Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority to make Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has to (A) call or cause the Servicer to call an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, or (B) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as any Servicer shall reasonably require to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the first sentence in this Section 13(a). (b) The Lead Servicer and the Trustee for the Lead Securitization shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Non-Lead Note Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Servicer and such Trustee from their respective obligation under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein). (c) The Holders hereby acknowledge that the Servicing Agreement shall provide that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the next sentence, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, if the Special Servicer determines to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (or the Lead Note), it will be required to sell the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan (i.e., both the Lead Note and Non-Lead Notes). Any such sale of the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan is subject to the satisfaction of one of the following two conditions: (i) Each Non-Lead Note Holder has provided written consent to such sale; or (ii) The Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to each Non-Lead Note Holder: (1) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan; (2) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (3) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by a Non-Lead Note Holder; and (4) until the sale is completed and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Holder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. Any Non-Lead Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth above only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Lead Note Holder, the Directing Holder, the Non-Lead Note Holders and the Non-Directing Holders shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is a Borrower Party). Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13(c), the Non-Lead Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Notes. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13(c), each Non-Lead Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Note Holder, such Non-Lead Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Servicer on behalf of the Holders of its rights under this Section 13 shall be subject in all respects to any section of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action if taking or failing to take such action, as the case may be, would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents or be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or violate the REMIC provisions of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(f) of this Agreement.
Indemnification of the Seller the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent and the Purchasers. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent and each Purchaser and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by any Indemnified Person by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions of the Servicer, including, but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, but excluding allocations of overhead expenses of any such Indemnified Party or other non-monetary damages of any such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not indemnify an Indemnified Person if such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury results or arises (i) as a result of fraud, gross negligence or breach of fiduciary duty by such Indemnified Person; and (ii) under any Tax law, including without limitation any federal, state or local income or franchise taxes or any other Tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) required to be paid by the Seller, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent or the Purchasers in connection herewith to any taxing authority. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 8.1 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, the recipient shall repay to the Servicer an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such indemnified amounts. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 6.19 is unavailable to the Indemnified Person or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, then Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Person on the one hand and Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Person as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 6.19 shall not be interpreted to provide recourse to the Seller against loss by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency (or other credit condition) of, or default by, related Obligor on, any Pool Asset. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section shall not be payable from the Assets. The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 6.19 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.
Additional Indemnification by the Servicer The Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Trust Fund and the NIMS Insurer and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses (collectively, the “Liabilities”) that the indemnified party may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to its obligation to provide the certification pursuant to Section 5.05(b) hereunder) or for any inaccurate or misleading information provided in the certification required pursuant to Section 5.05(b). The Servicer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans that may result in such Liabilities, and the Servicer shall assume (with the prior written consent of the indemnified party) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any indemnified party in respect of such claim and follow any written instructions received from the such indemnified party in connection with such claim. The Servicer shall be reimbursed promptly from the Trust Fund for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Servicer’s indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02, or the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event a dispute arises between the Servicer and an indemnified party with respect to any of the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to this Agreement, and such dispute is adjudicated in a court of law, by an arbitration panel or any other judicial process, then the losing party (if the Trustee, the Trust Fund) shall indemnify and reimburse the winning party for all attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses related to the adjudication of said dispute.
Indemnification by the Distributor (a) The Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for purposes of this Section 7.4) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Sponsor) or litigation (including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund’s shares or the Variable Insurance Products and: (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus or sales literature of the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Distributor or the Fund by or on behalf of the Company for use in the registration statement or prospectus for the Fund or in sales literature (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Variable Insurance Products or Fund shares; or (ii) arise out of or as a result of statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in the registration statement, prospectus or sales literature for the Variable Insurance Products not supplied by the Distributor or persons under its control) or unlawful conduct of the Fund, the Advisers or persons under their control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Variable Insurance Products or Fund shares; or (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, prospectus or sales literature covering the Variable Insurance Products (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement or statements therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Fund; or (iv) result from any failure by the Distributor or the Fund to provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement; or (v) arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Distributor or the Fund in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Distributor of the Fund; as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.4(b) and 7.4(c) hereof. (b) The Distributor shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of such Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party’s duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or to the Company or the Accounts, whichever is applicable. (c) The Distributor shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Distributor in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of any such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Distributor of any such claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In any case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Distributor will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Sponsor also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from the Distributor to such party of the Distributor’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Distributor will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by each party independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. (d) The Company agrees promptly to notify the Distributor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Variable Insurance Products or the operation of each account.
