Non-Third Party Claims Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
Third Party Claims If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.03(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.
Defense of Third Party Claims Upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a notice from the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim of a third party against the Indemnified Party, for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Party shall elect to assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any claim against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder; provided that, to the extent that such settlement requires the Indemnified Party to take, or prohibits the Indemnified Party from taking, any action or purports to obligate the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a third party claim and disputes the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of such claim through counsel of its choice, the reasonable costs of which shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s expense in the event that the Indemnified Party’s right of indemnification is ultimately established through settlement, compromise or other legal proceeding. In no circumstance may the Indemnified Party compromise or settle a claim with a third party for which it seeks indemnification from the Indemnifying Party without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Indemnification; Third Party Claims (a) The Special Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Special Servicer (the “Special Servicer Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless out of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loans and any B Notes (including REO Loans), against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (“Special Servicer Losses”) incurred in connection with any legal action relating to (i) this Agreement, any Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loans, any B Notes, any REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under this Agreement reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses and (ii) any action properly taken by the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement based on an instruction delivered in writing to the Special Servicer by the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or the Master Servicer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and the Special Servicer and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the provision by the Special Servicer of any information included by the Special Servicer in the report required to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, in each case other than any loss, liability or expense: (A) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking indemnification, without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (B) which constitutes a Servicing Advance that is otherwise reimbursable under this Agreement; (C) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any breach on the part of that party of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement; or (D) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of that party in the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement or negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. Except as provided in the following sentence, indemnification for Special Servicer Losses described in the preceding paragraph (including in the case of such Special Servicer Losses that relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense) shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole but not out of collections on, or other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Loan or any B Note. In the case of any such Special Servicer Losses that do not relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense:
Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims Promptly following the earlier of (a) receipt of notice of the commencement by a third party of any Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (b) receipt of information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 6.07 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (a) acknowledge, as between the parties hereto, liability for, and at its option elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense or (b) object to the claim of indemnification set forth in the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.07 setting forth the grounds therefor; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not within the same thirty (30) day period give the Indemnified Party written notice acknowledging liability or objecting to such claim and setting forth the grounds therefor, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged, as between the parties hereto, its liability to the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. Any contest of a Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for; in all other events, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification under Article VI, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any) within 15 days after the final resolution of such Third Party Claim (whether by the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), or, in the case of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged liability, within 15 days after such Indemnifying Party’s objection has been resolved by settlement, compromise or the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Third Party Claim A Claim where there is (a) a claim, demand, suit or action by a person who is not a Party, (b) a settlement with, judgment by, or liability to, a person who is not a Party, or (c) a fine or penalty imposed by a person who is not a Party.
Third Party Claim Procedures (a) The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under Section 7.02 agrees to give reasonably prompt notice in writing to Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 7.02. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
Notice of Third Party Claims Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 9201, District shall provide Contractor timely notification of the receipt of any third-party claim relating to this Contract. District shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs incurred in providing such notification.
Settlement of Third Party Claims Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
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.
