The Depositor, the Sponsor and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Trustee to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Master Servicer shall not settle any claim involving any of the other parties hereto without such party’s prior written consent unless such settlement involves a complete and absolute release of such party from any and all liability in connection with such claim. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of the Master Servicer as a party to this Agreement.
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).
