Company Indemnity The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling each of the foregoing, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any state securities law or in either case, any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling each of the foregoing, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to a Holder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based (i) on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by a Holder or the underwriter (if any) therefore, (ii) the failure of a Holder to deliver at or prior to the written confirmation of sale, the most recent prospectus, as amended or supplemented or (iii) the failure of a Holder otherwise to comply with this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
Cowen Indemnification Cowen agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and each officer of the Company that signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 9(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent’s Information.
Funding Indemnity In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Limits on Indemnification Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:
(a) Seller shall not have any obligation to provide indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 11.1 except to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $175,000.00 (the “Basket Amount”) in which case Seller shall be liable to Buyer only for such Losses in excess of $175,000.00. The maximum obligation of Seller to provide indemnification for all Losses pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be limited to an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket Amount and such liability cap will not apply with respect to any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.8, and 4.14.
(b) Buyer shall not have any obligation to provide indemnification for Losses indemnified pursuant to Section 11.2 except to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Basket Amount, in which case Buyer shall be liable to Seller only for such Losses in excess of the Basket Amount. The maximum obligation of Buyer to provide indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 11.2 shall be limited to the amount equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket Amount and such liability cap will not apply with respect to any breach of Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5 and 5.7.
(c) Seller shall not have any obligation to provide indemnification hereunder for any Losses pursuant to Sections 11.1 unless a written notice of claim specifying in reasonable detail the specific nature and basis of the Losses and the estimated amount of such Losses is delivered to Seller prior to 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Buyer shall not have any obligation to provide indemnification hereunder for any Losses unless a written notice of claim specifying in reasonable detail the specific nature and basis of the Losses and the estimated amount of such Losses is delivered to Buyer prior to 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
(d) For purposes of determining Losses in order to calculate the Basket Amount and determine rights to indemnification under this Article XI, the representations and warranties set forth in Articles IV and V shall be read without giving effect to any Materiality Requirement set forth therein. As used in this Agreement, a “Materiality Requirement” shall mean any requirement in a representation or warranty that a condition, event or state of fact be “material,” correct or true in “all material respects,” have a “Material Adverse Effect,” or be or not be “reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect” (or other words or phrases of similar effect or impact) in order for such condition, event or state of facts to cause such representation or warranty to be inaccurate.
Weekly Indemnity (a) Casual employees are eligible for weekly indemnity benefits upon accumulation of 400 hours of service seniority. Once established, eligibility for weekly indemnity is retained unless the casual employee loses service seniority. Weekly indemnity benefits are payable for each period of illness up to a maximum of 15 weeks at 60% of the casual employee's normal average earnings. Normal average earnings are calculated by averaging the straight-time compensation and the compensation paid in accordance with Clause 31.7 in the six most recent biweekly pay periods in which earnings occurred.
(b) The payment of benefits to a person who is laid off or separated prior to termination of his/her illness shall be continued after the layoff or separation until the total number of weeks for which benefits have been paid in respect of that illness is 15 weeks, except that benefits will cease on the effective date of a scheduled layoff or separation, if the illness occurs two months (or less) before that layoff or separation provided that notice of the layoff or separation was given prior to the occurrence of the illness.
(c) The benefits described in this clause shall not be available to an employee whose illness, injury or personal circumstances may be described by any one of the following conditions:
(1) who is not under the care of a licensed physician;
(2) whose illness is occupational and is covered by WorkSafeBC;
(3) whose illness is intentionally self-inflicted;
(4) whose illness results from service in the Armed Forces;
(5) whose illness results from riots, wars or participation in disorderly conduct;
(6) who is ill during a period of paid vacation;
(7) whose illness is sustained while he/she is committing a criminal offence;
(8) who is engaged in an employment for a wage or profit;
(9) who is ill during a strike or lockout at the place where he/she was employed if that illness commences during the strike or lockout;
(10) who is serving a prison sentence.
(d) The parties agree that the complete premium reduction from the Employment Insurance Commission accruing through the improved sick leave plan and the weekly indemnity plan will be returned to the Employer. This is an exchange for the implementation of the above-mentioned plans.
Expenses; Indemnity (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower's ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower's respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender's ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters reasonably requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower's compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
Seller’s Indemnity Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, and its partners, members, officers, shareholders, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "BUYER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and against any and all losses, liabilities, fines and penalties and damages (including, without limitation, any damages or injury to persons, property or the environment as provided hereunder), or actions or claims in respect thereof (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable cost of investigation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses), resulting from third party claims (based upon the allegations set forth in such claims and whether or not ultimately successful) to which Buyer and/or the other Buyer Indemnified Parties may become subject or which Buyer and/or the other Buyer Indemnified Parties may suffer or incur, either directly or indirectly, insofar as such losses, liabilities or damages (or actions or claims in respect thereof) arise out of, are with respect to, or are based upon:
(i) Seller's breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement;
(ii) Seller's default in the performance of any of Seller's covenants set forth in this Agreement;
(iii) Seller's failure to satisfy and discharge any and all obligations of Seller under the Ground Lease, the Loan Documents or any Contracts to which Seller is bound which obligations relate to any time period prior to the Closing;
(iv) Seller's failure to fully satisfy and discharge any and all obligations of Seller regarding any current or former employees of Seller including, without limitation, any obligations of Seller for the payment of wages, salaries, benefits and other compensation;

(vi) The operation and management of the Property (including any liabilities incurred with respect thereto) at any time on or prior to the Closing Date.
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.
Seller Indemnity Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04 hereof, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns) from and against any and all demands, claims, payments, defenses, obligations, recoveries, deficiencies, fines, penalties, interest, assessments, actions, liens, causes of action, suits, proceedings, judgments, losses, damages (including without limitation punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, lost income and profits, interruptions of business and diminution in the value of stock), liabilities, costs, and expenses of any kind (including without limitation (i) interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, (ii) attorneys' fees and expenses necessary to enforce their rights to indemnification hereunder, and (iii) consultants' fees and other costs of defending or investigating any claim hereunder), whether accrued, absolute, contingent, known, unknown, or otherwise as of the Closing Date or thereafter asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by Buyer or its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, successors or assigns by reason of, resulting from, arising out of, based upon, awarded or asserted against or otherwise in respect of:
(a) any period or periods of Seller ending prior to the Closing and which involve any claims against Seller, or their respective properties or assets, relating to actions or inactions of Seller or its officers, directors, shareholder, employees or agents prior to Closing, or the operation of the business of Seller prior to the Closing unless such liability relates to an Assumed Obligation;
(b) any breach of any representation and warranty contained in this Agreement or any misrepresentation in or omission on the part of Seller contained in any certificate furnished or to be furnished to Buyer by Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and
(c) the remedy and right of recovery for any indemnity claim covered hereby shall be limited to the recovery by Buyer of the consideration paid hereunder. The indemnity herein contained shall expire one year following the Closing; provided, however, that if an indemnity claim is asserted prior to such expiration date, but is contested or otherwise not resolved at such expiration date, this indemnity shall expire with respect to such claim only upon resolution of the claim.
Funding Indemnification If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.
