Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified or Indemnitee's right to receive Expense Advances under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.
Notice and Cooperation by Indemnitee Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his/her right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, provided that the delay of Indemnitee to give notice hereunder shall not prejudice any of Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless such delay results in the Company’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. Notice to the Company shall be given in accordance with Section F.7 below. If, at the time of receipt of such notice, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice to its insurers of the Proceeding relating to the notice. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary and desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all Expenses payable as a result of such Proceeding. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably request.
Defense by Indemnitee If an Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such claim, the Indemnitee will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party, have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations as set forth in this Section 5.4; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnitee assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, it shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all such costs and expenses of the Indemnitee in the event it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Service by Indemnitee Indemnitee will serve and/or continue to serve as an independent or non-independent director or officer of the Corporation faithfully and to the best of Indemnitee's ability so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed and until such time as Indemnitee is removed as permitted by law or tenders a resignation in writing.
Notice by Indemnitee Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.
Defense by Indemnifying Party In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding (i) if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim (subject to any limitations on such liability contained in this Agreement) and (ii) if it provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, that it will be financially able to satisfy such claims in full if the same are decided adversely. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, it may use counsel of its choice to prosecute such defense, subject to the approval of such counsel by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party, in its sole discretion, determines that there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent party thereof) and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party (or any constituent party thereof) shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary to pursue the resolution thereof in a prompt and diligent manner. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to consent to a settlement of, or the stipulation of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required from the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all Losses arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof (as well as all other Losses theretofore incurred by the Indemnified Party which then remain unpaid or unreimbursed), (ii) in the case of a settlement, the settlement is conditioned upon a complete release by the claimant of the Indemnified Party and (iii) such settlement or judgment does not require the encumbrance of any asset of the Indemnified Party or impose any restriction upon its conduct of business.
Services by Indemnitee Indemnitee will serve as a director or officer of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any independent obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any other entity) and Indemnitee.
Indemnification in Third Party Actions The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee if the Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding (other that a Proceeding by or in the name of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor), by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director and/or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and ERISA excise taxes actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such a Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable corporate law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation; provided that any settlement of a Proceeding be approved in writing by the Company.
Indemnification; Third Party Claims (a) The Special Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Special Servicer (the “Special Servicer Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless out of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loans and any B Notes (including REO Loans), against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (“Special Servicer Losses”) incurred in connection with any legal action relating to (i) this Agreement, any Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loans, any B Notes, any REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under this Agreement reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses and (ii) any action properly taken by the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement based on an instruction delivered in writing to the Special Servicer by the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or the Master Servicer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and the Special Servicer and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the provision by the Special Servicer of any information included by the Special Servicer in the report required to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, in each case other than any loss, liability or expense: (A) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking indemnification, without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (B) which constitutes a Servicing Advance that is otherwise reimbursable under this Agreement; (C) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any breach on the part of that party of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement; or (D) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of that party in the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement or negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. Except as provided in the following sentence, indemnification for Special Servicer Losses described in the preceding paragraph (including in the case of such Special Servicer Losses that relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense) shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole but not out of collections on, or other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Loan or any B Note. In the case of any such Special Servicer Losses that do not relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense:
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.
