Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Agent 9.1. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person's obligations under such document. Except for amendments to this Agreement referred to below, and except for instructions given to the Escrow Agent by the Company and the subscribers relating to the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any and all of the persons referred to herein, notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or not it has knowledge thereof.
9.2. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Escrow Agreement or any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent, as applicable, signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.
9.3. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Except as specifically provided for herein, the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or application of any funds or other property paid or delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any loss which may be incurred by reason of any investment of any monies which it holds hereunder provided the Escrow Agent, as applicable, has complied with the provisions of Section 2 hereunder.
9.4. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.
9.5. To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of funds held hereunder or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, may pay such taxes. The Escrow Agent, as applicable, may withhold from any payment of monies held by it hereunder such amount as the Escrow Agent, as applicable, estimates to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may use the sum withheld for that purpose. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless against any liability for taxes and for any penalties or interest in respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in Section 9.6.
9.6. The Escrow Agent will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Escrow Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, hereunder, the monies or other property held by it hereunder or any income earned from investment of such monies; provided, that such expenses or loss are not as a result of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, acting, or omitting to take action, in bad faith or with willful misconduct or gross negligence promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company thereof in writing, but the failure by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to give such notice shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder. For the purposes hereof, the term "expense or loss" shall include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Escrow Agent, and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claims, demand, action, suit or proceeding.
Seller’s Indemnity Notwithstanding the Closing and regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of Buyer or any information Buyer may have, Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer, its respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, and any Person claiming by or through any of them, as the case may be (each a "Buyer Indemnified Person"), harmless from and against any Losses arising out of or resulting from any of the following, provided that a claim for indemnity with respect -44- 50 to such Losses, specifying such claim in reasonable detail, has been delivered to Seller by Buyer before the date eighteen months after the Closing Date unless a longer survival period is specified in Section 9.1, in which case the end of such applicable survival period:

Seller will be liable, in the aggregate, for all Losses under this Section 9.2 up to a maximum amount of Sixty Five Million Dollars ($65,000,000); provided, however, that such limitations and qualifications shall not apply in the case of Losses resulting from or arising out of the Seller's breach of its obligations under Sections 2.6.2, 2.10 and 2.13, Section 5.5, Section 12 and Section 13.4 hereof.
Seller’s Indemnification Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, after recording, the Buyer shall accept the Property AS IS, WHERE IS, with all defects, latent or otherwise. Neither Seller nor their licensed real estate agent(s) or any other agent(s) of the Seller, shall be bound to any representation or warranty of any kind relating in any way to the Property or its condition, quality or quantity, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or any property disclosure, which contains representations of the Seller only, and which is based upon the best of the Seller’s personal knowledge.

If any such action or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company and the Investor hereunder in writing, and the and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all expenses.

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).
Seller’s Breach Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of any defective or missing document (as described in the related Sale Agreement) in a Trustee Mortgage Loan File, or of any breach by any Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the related Sale Agreement, which defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach),the parties discovering or receiving notice of such defect or breach shall notify the Securities Administrator. Upon discovering or receipt of notice of such breach, the Securities Administrator shall promptly request that such Seller cure such breach and, if such Seller does not cure such defect or breach in all material respects by the end of the cure period specified in such Sale Agreement and any extension of the cure period granted as permitted by such Sale Agreement, shall enforce such Seller’s obligation under such Sale Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee. In the event any Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the related Servicing Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by a Seller, the Securities Administrator shall first proceed against such Servicer. If such Servicer does not within 60 days (or such other period provided in the related Servicing Agreement) after notification of the breach, either take steps to cure such breach (which may be evidenced by a certificate asking for an extension of time in which to effectuate a cure) or complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loan, then (i) the Securities Administrator, shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the related Sale Agreement to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust, and (ii) such Seller shall succeed to the rights of the Securities Administrator to enforce the obligations of the Servicer to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if any breach of a representation or warranty by the Servicer or of a Seller is a Qualification Defect, a cure or purchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.
Purchaser’s Indemnity Subject to Section 12, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Xxxxxxxxx agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless Provider, its permitted successors and assigns and their respective directors, officers, members, shareholders and employees (collectively, the “Provider Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Provider Indemnified Parties to the extent arising from or out of any claim for or arising out of any injury to or death of any Person or loss or damage to property of any Person to the extent arising out of Purchaser’s negligence or willful misconduct. Purchaser shall not, however, be required to reimburse or indemnify any Provider Indemnified Party for any Loss to the extent such Loss is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of any Provider Indemnified Party.
Seller’s Indemnification Obligations In addition to any other indemnification obligations Seller may have elsewhere in this Agreement, which are hereby incorporated in this Section 11.1, Seller releases, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, and Xxxxx’s directors, officers, employees, agents, assigns, and successors in interest, from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost, charge, demand, penalty, fine or expense of any kind or nature (including any direct, damage, claim, cost, charge, demand, or expense, and attorneys’ fees (including cost of in-house counsel) and other costs of litigation, arbitration or mediation, and in the case of third-party claims only, indirect or consequential loss or damage of such third-party), arising out of or in connection with: any breach made by Seller of its representations, warranties and covenants in Article 7; Seller’s failure to fulfill its obligations regarding Resource Adequacy Benefits as set forth in Article 3; any violation of Applicable Law or the CAISO Tariff arising out of or in connection with Seller’s performance of, or failure to perform this Agreement; injury or death to persons, including Buyer employees, and physical damage to property, including Buyer property, where the damage arises out of, is related to, or is in connection with, Seller’s obligations or performance under this Agreement.
