The Servicer may redact or remove Non-Public Personal Information (as defined in Section 4.8) from the Asset Review Materials so long as such redaction or removal does not change the meaning or usefulness of the Asset Review Materials for purposes of the Asset Review.

reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses, and including any such reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit brought by such indemnified parties) of any indemnification or other obligation of the Asset Representations Reviewer) resulting from (a) the willful misconduct, fraud, bad faith or negligence of the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing its obligations under this Agreement, (b) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations or warranties or other obligations under this Agreement, (c) its breach of confidentiality obligations or (d) any third party intellectual property claim.

The Issuer will indemnify the Asset Representations Reviewer and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (including the fees and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage or liability), but excluding any fee, expense, loss, damage or liability resulting from (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence or (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement. To the extent that such indemnities owed to the Asset Representations Reviewer are not paid by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of a detailed invoice in respect thereof, the Servicer shall promptly pay the Asset Representations Reviewer for any such unpaid amounts. If, subsequent to any such payment by the Servicer to the Asset Representations Reviewer described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer receives payment or reimbursement in respect of the related amount, in part or in full, from the Issuer, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly refund the Servicer for the amount of such payment received from the Issuer on such subsequent date. The Issuer’s and the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 4.5(b) will survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Proceedings. Promptly on receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of a proceeding against it, the Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made under Section 4.5(b), notify the Issuer and the Servicer of such proceeding. The Issuer and the Servicer may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of a proceeding at its expense. If the Issuer or the Servicer notifies the Indemnified Person of its intention to assume the defense of a proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and so long as the Issuer or the Servicer assumes the defense of the proceeding in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, the Issuer and the Servicer will not be liable for fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Issuer or the Servicer, as applicable, and an Indemnified Person.
