In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
(d)
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the offering of the Certificates to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchaser. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) 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 subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e)
The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Purchaser with respect to any Certificates under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.
9.
The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Purchaser as set forth in this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made in connection with the issuance of Certificates by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any controlling person of the Purchaser, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Certificates.
10.
If for any reason the Certificates are not delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided herein, other than by the Purchaser’s failure to comply with its obligations hereunder, the Company will reimburse the Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Purchaser in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Certificates, but the Company shall be under no further liability to the Purchaser with respect to such Certificates except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof.
11.
(a) The Purchaser may prepare and provide to prospective investors "Computational Materials," "ABS Term Sheets" and "Collateral Term Sheets" (collectively, the "8-K Information") in connection with its offering of the Certificates, as described in the No-Action Letter of May 20, 1994 issued by the Commission to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Acceptance Corporation I and certain affiliates, as made applicable to other issuers and underwriters by the Commission in response to the request of the Public Securities Association dated May 24, 1994 (collectively, the "Xxxxxx/PSA Letter"), and the requirements of the No-Action Letter of February 17, 1995 issued by the Commission to the Public Securities Association (the "PSA Letter" and, together with the Xxxxxx/PSA Letter, the "No-Action Letters"); subject to the following conditions: (i) the Purchaser shall comply with the requirements of the No-Action Letters; (ii) for purposes hereof, "Computational Materials" shall have the meaning given such term in the No-Action Letters, but with respect to the Purchaser shall include only those Computational Materials that have been prepared by the Purchaser for prospective investors and for purposes hereof and "ABS Term Sheets" and "Collateral Term Sheets" shall have the meanings given such terms in the PSA Letter but with respect to the Purchaser shall include only those ABS Term Sheets or Collateral Term Sheets that have been prepared by the Purchaser for prospective investors; (iii) the Purchaser shall provide to the Company any 8-K Information which is provided to investors no later than the second Business Day preceding the date such 8-K Information is required to be filed pursuant to the applicable No-Action Letters and the Purchaser may provide copies of the foregoing in a consolidated or aggregated form including all information required to be filed; and (iv) in the event that the Company or the Purchaser discovers an error in the 8-K Information, the party that prepared such material shall prepare corrected 8-K Information and deliver it to the Company for filing.
(a)
The Company will cause to be filed with the Commission one or more current reports on Form 8-K with respect to the 8-K Information.
12.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing or by telegram if promptly confirmed in writing, and shall be sufficient in all respects, if delivered or sent by registered mail, if to the Purchaser, to the address of the Purchaser set forth above; if to the Company, to the address of the Company set forth in the Prospectus, Attention: President.
13.
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of the Purchaser, the Company and, to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company or the Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Certificates from the Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign merely by reason of such purchase.
14.
Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
15.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
16.
This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original. but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the undersigned two counterparts hereof, whereupon this letter and your acceptance shall represent a binding agreement between the Company and the Purchaser.
Very truly yours,
