Section 8.3 Indemnification. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 (c): (a) Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller and all Related Persons (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), and each of them, from and against any and all losses, causes of action, liabilities, claims, demands, obligations, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and costs, to which any of the Indemnified Parties may become subject on account of, arising out of, or related to any act, omission, conduct or activity of Buyer or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, servants, shareholders, successors or assigns, on account of, arising out or related to (i) this Agreement, including, without limitation, the exercise of Buyer’s due diligence rights hereunder, (ii) the Loan purchased, the rights assigned and the obligations assumed hereunder, and (iii) the use, ownership, control, operation or condition of Collateral securing the Loan purchased hereunder, including without limitation, the presence or release of any Hazardous Materials or any other hazardous or toxic fluids, substances or materials on, under or about such Collateral.

Buyer shall be entitled to participate in such action and may, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of such action with counsel selected by Buyer with the approval of the Indemnified Party. After Buyer’s assumption of the defense, Buyer shall not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such action, unless (i) such expenses are incurred with the prior written approval of Buyer, or (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that its interests may be adverse in whole or in part to those of Buyer and that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from, in addition to or inconsistent with defenses available to Buyer, in which case the Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel and be indemnified by Buyer for all legal and other expenses and costs reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation and defense of the action.
(c) Buyer shall not be liable for the settlement of any action if such settlement is effected without Buyer’s express written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If any action is settled with Buyer’s written consent or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnified Party in any action, Buyer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Indemnified Party from and against all loss or liability incurred by reason of such settlement or judgment.
