• Indemnity Procedure A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60) Business Days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties or representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, due to conflicts of interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim. The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties (subject to the execution of appropriate non-disclosure agreements) as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof. With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party.

• Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedures (a) In the event that any written claim or demand for which an indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder, other than those relating to Taxes (which are the exclusive subject of Article X), is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than ten (10) days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third-Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third-Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure timely to give a Claim Notice shall affect the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder only to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim.

• Indemnification in Third Party Proceedings Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding, for any and all expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding.

• Third Party Indemnification The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has or may from time to time obtain certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the “Third-Party Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Third-Party Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), and that the Company will not assert that the Indemnitee must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Third-Party Indemnitor before the Company must perform its expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. No advancement or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing. The Third-Party Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which Indemnitee would have had against the Company if the Third-Party Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of Indemnitee. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Third-Party Indemnitors are not entitled to the subrogation rights described in the preceding sentence, the Third-Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution by the Company to the Third-Party Indemnitors with respect to any advance or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors to or on behalf of the Indemnitee.

• Intellectual Property Indemnification Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all expenses, costs, claims, demands, causes of action and damages of whatever kind which Purchaser may incur in connection with any suit or claim of infringement of any patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriation of any trade secret or other intellectual property right resulting from (i) Purchaser's or its Affiliates' use of any portion of the Equipment as contemplated in the Proposal and otherwise in accordance with this Sales Agreement or applicable Equipment documentation delivered by Purchaser by Seller hereunder, or (ii) performance of the Work, except, in each case with respect to each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent directly attributable to Third-Party Hardware or Third-Party Software. Seller shall receive written notice from Purchaser within ten (10) days after proper legal service is received by Purchaser of any such suit or claim, provided that failure to receive such notice shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under this Article 3 except to the extent that Seller's ability to defend such suit or claim is materially impaired due to such failure. Seller is hereby authorized by Purchaser to, at Seller's expense, appear in and assume the defense of, and be given the complete control of the settlement of, any such suit or claim; provided that (a) if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates wishes to participate in the defense and settlement of the claim, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may do at its own cost, (b) Purchaser is kept timely informed of all material actions taken by Seller in connection with any such settlement, suit or claim (including, without limitation, of settlement offers and responses (to the extent the delivery of such information does not require Seller to waive work product immunity or attorney/client privilege or otherwise violate the terms of any protective order between Seller and any third party plaintiff or defendant)); and (c) Seller shall not enter into or acquiesce to any settlement admitting to or stipulating to any guilt, fault, liability or wrongdoing on the part of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without Purchaser's prior written consent. In the event that Purchaser's right or ability to use the Equipment is threatened or impaired as a result of any such suit or claim, Seller shall, at its own expense, do one of the following, (1) diligently procure for Purchaser the right to continue using the Equipment, or (2) modify the Equipment or, if necessary and by mutual agreement, substitute functionally equivalent Equipment, to the extent necessary to avoid infringement or misappropriation; provided in each case that if such modified or substituted equipment fails to comply with all Specifications applicable to the original, unmodified Equipment, Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable compensation with respect to such noncompliance. Seller hereby assigns to or otherwise transfers to the benefit of Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to any intellectual property right infringement or misappropriation indemnification or defense rights Seller may have with respect to Third Party Software and Third Party Hardware, and will, at its expense, take any actions as may be necessary to enable Purchaser to exercise such rights and realize such benefit to the fullest extent possible. It is mutually agreed that the provisions set forth herein are Seller's only obligations with respect to infringement of any patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriation of any trade secret or other intellectual property right.

• Xxxxx Indemnification Xxxxx 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.

• Cross Indemnification Each Lender (an “Indemnifying Party”) hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each other and such other Lender’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents (not including any Participating Institution or the servicer of any TXXX Loan) and each person who controls such other Lender within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively and severally, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, obligations, penalties, actions, suits, judgments, costs, disbursements, losses, liabilities and/or damages (including, without limitation, reasonable external attorneys’ fees and the allocated costs of internal salaried attorneys) of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, assessed against or incurred by any such Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of the material inaccuracy or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made by the Indemnifying Lender hereunder or the material inaccuracy or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made by the Indemnifying Lender to any Participating Institution in connection with the TXXX Program or the Subject Securitization Transaction. The indemnity provided by each Indemnifying Lender hereunder is in addition to any liability which such Lender may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties, at law, in equity or otherwise, in connection with the Subject Securitization Transaction.

• Indemnification Process Each party indemnified under the provisions of this Agreement, upon receipt of written notice of any Claim or the service of a summons or other initial legal process upon it in any action instituted against it for which it may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, shall promptly give written notice of such Claim, or the commencement of such action, or threat thereof, to the Party from whom indemnity shall be sought hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice within a reasonable period of time shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. Each indemnifying party shall be entitled at its own expense to participate in the defense of such Claim or action, or, if it shall elect, so long as it has acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its indemnification obligations hereunder, by written notice to the indemnified party within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice of the Claim or action from the indemnified party to assume such defense, in which event such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such indemnifying party (without prejudice to the right of the indemnified party to fully participate at its own expense through counsel of its own choosing) which counsel may be any counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party against whom such Claim is asserted or who shall be the defendant in such action, and such indemnified party shall bear all fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it or them, provided that the indemnifying party shall obtain the consent of the indemnified party (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion) before entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Claims, provided further that the indemnifying party may, without the consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any action involving only the payment of money which includes as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party of a duly executed written release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect of such Claim or action which written release shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the named parties in such action (including impleaded parties) include the indemnified and the indemnifying parties, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of such action or that there are legal defenses available to such indemnified party different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, then counsel for the indemnified party, shall be entitled, if the indemnified party so elects, to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the indemnified party, at the expense of the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party shall elect not to assume the defense of such Claim or action, such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by it, and shall be bound by the results obtained by the indemnified party in respect of such Claim or action; provided, however, that no such Claim or action shall be settled without the written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

• Indemnity Procedures (a) In the event that any claim or demand for which an indemnifying party would be liable to an Indemnified Person hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Person by a third party (an “Action”), the Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such Action, specifying the nature of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent feasible (which estimate the parties agree shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claims and demand) (the “Claim Notice”). The failure to provide the Claim Notice to the indemnifying party promptly will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability it may have to the Indemnified Person giving the Claim Notice, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is actually and materially prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such Claim Notice promptly. The indemnifying party shall have ten (10) days from the delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Person: (1) whether or not the indemnifying party disputes liability to the Indemnified Person hereunder with respect to such claim or demand; and (2) notwithstanding any such dispute, whether or not the indemnifying party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Person against such claim or demand in which case the indemnifying party shall assume all past and future responsibility for such action and shall reimburse the Indemnified Person for all expenses in connection with the Action. Notwithstanding the assumption by the indemnifying party of the defense of any Action, the Indemnified Person shall be permitted to participate in such defense at its cost and expense. If the indemnifying person elects to defend the Indemnified Person, notice shall be given within the Notice Period, then the indemnifying party will have the right and obligation to defend the Indemnified Person by appropriate proceedings, which shall be followed to a final conclusion.

• INDEMNITY IN THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDINGS To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually, and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
