Depositor, the Representative or each Underwriter within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:
3
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact included in the Seller Information, the
Subservicer Information or any similar information contained in the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or
alleged omission from the Seller Information or the Subservicer Information
or such similar information of a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim
whatsoever, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that any such settlement is
effected with the written consent of the Seller; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
(including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the indemnified
parties), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense
is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above.
(b) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to the Seller of any action commenced against it in respect of which

from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity
agreement. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by them,
subject to the consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). The Seller may participate at its own expense in the defense of any
such action; provided, however, that counsel to the Seller shall not (except

separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances. The Seller shall not, without
the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or
contribution could be sought under this Section (whether or not the indemnified
parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement,
compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation,
proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
4
(c) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested the Seller
to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, the Seller
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by
Section 3.01(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement
is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Seller of the aforesaid
request, (ii) the Seller shall have received notice of the terms of such
settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and
(iii) the Seller shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance
with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided, however, that
the Seller shall not be liable for such settlement if it has notified the
indemnified party in writing that it objects to the terms of such settlement
within 30 days after receipt of the notice described in clause (ii) above or
that it objects to the requested fees and expenses within 45 days after receipt

the Underwriter Information or such similar information of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid
in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim
whatsoever, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that any such settlement is
effected with the written consent of the Underwriters; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
(including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the indemnified
parties), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense
is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above.
(b) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each Underwriter of any action commenced against it in respect of
which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the
Underwriters shall not relieve the Underwriters from any liability hereunder to
the extent the Underwriters are not materially prejudiced as a result thereof
and in any event shall not relieve the Underwriters from any liability which the
Underwriters may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.
Counsel to the
5
indemnified parties shall be selected by them, subject to the consent of the
Underwriters (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An Underwriter
may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided,
however, that counsel to the Underwriters shall not (except with the consent of
the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event
shall the Underwriters be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel
(in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all
indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances. The Underwriters shall not, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation
or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or
any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could
be sought under this Section (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual
or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i)
includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does
not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(c) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
Underwriter to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel,
such Underwriter agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by Section 3.02(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i)
such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the
Underwriter of the aforesaid request, (ii) the Underwriter shall have received
notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement
being entered into and (iii) such Underwriter shall not have reimbursed such
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement; provided, however, that such Underwriter shall not be liable for
such settlement if it has notified the indemnified party in writing that it
objects to the terms of such settlement within 30 days after receipt of the
notice described in clause (ii) above or that it objects to the requested fees
and expenses within 45 days after receipt of such request.
Section 3.03. Depositor Indemnification.

(a) The Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, and
each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of

supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission from the Depositor
Information or such similar information of a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or
6
threatened, or of any claim whatsoever, based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission;
provided that any such settlement is effected with the written consent of
the Depositor; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
(including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the indemnified
parties), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense
is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above.
(b) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to the Depositor of any action commenced against it in respect of
which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the Depositor
shall not relieve the Depositor from any liability hereunder to the extent it is
not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve
it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this
indemnity agreement. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by
them, subject to the consent of the Depositor (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). The Depositor may participate at its own expense in the
defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the Depositor
shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to
the indemnified party. In no event shall the Depositor be liable for fees and
expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate
from its own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one
action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The Depositor
shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle
or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section (whether or
not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless
such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of
each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation,
investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.
(c) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested the
Depositor to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel,
the Depositor agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by Section 3.03(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i)
such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Depositor
of the aforesaid request, (ii) the Depositor shall have received notice of the
terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered
into and (iii) the Depositor shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided,
however, that the Depositor shall not be liable for such settlement if it has
notified the indemnified party in writing that it objects to the terms of such
settlement within 30 days after receipt of the notice described in clause (ii)
above or that it objects to the requested fees and expenses within 45 days after
receipt of such request.

Section 3.04. Contribution.
------------
(a) If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is for any
reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to
herein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of
such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such
indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Depositor, the Seller and the
Underwriters, as applicable, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Depositor, the Seller
and the Underwriters, as applicable, in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Depositor, the Seller and the
Underwriters, as applicable, in connection with the offering of the Securities
pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective
proportion as (i) an amount equal to (x) the aggregate proceeds to the Depositor
from the sale of the Securities, plus accrued interest and before deducting
expenses, minus (y) the sum of the purchase price paid by the Depositor to the
Seller pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Price") bears to (ii) the Purchase Price received by the Seller and
(iii) the total underwriting discounts to such Underwriter as specified on the
cover of the Prospectus Supplement in connection with the offering and sale of
the Securities, as the case may be. The relative fault of the Depositor, the
Seller and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Depositor, the Seller or the Underwriters and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.
The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above in this Section. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities,
claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to
above in this Section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or
defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever,
based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.
(b) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Section 3.05. Depositor and Underwriters. All indemnity and
--------------------------
contribution claims between the Depositor and the Underwriters shall be subject
to the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.
8
Section 3.06. Limitation on Contribution. Notwithstanding the
--------------------------
provisions of Section 3.04, the Underwriters shall not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in respect of the
Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount
of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.
