Licensee Indemnity Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MyECheck from and against all damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) finally awarded against MyECheck (or finally settled upon) and arising from: (i) any claim of personal injury or tangible personal property damage (excluding data) of whatsoever nature or kind arising, in whole or in part, out of, as a result of, or in connection with the gross negligent or willful misconduct of Licensee, its employees, subcontractors or agents; (ii) any claim brought against MyECheck by a third party alleging that the Licensee Materials (as defined in Exhibit C) directly infringe any U.S. copyright or trademark or misappropriate any trade secret (recognized as such under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act) in existence as of the Effective Date; or (iii) any claim brought against MyECheck by a third party arising from or relating to any modification of the Software by Licensee or any use of the Software other than as permitted under this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that Licensee's obligations under this section are conditioned upon MyECheck providing Licensee: (1) prompt written notice of the existence of such claim, suit, action or proceeding (each a "claim"); (2) sole control over the defense or settlement of such claim; and (3) assistance at Licensee's request to the extent reasonably necessary for the defense of such claim. The foregoing sets forth Licensee's sole and exclusive obligation and MyECheck's sole and exclusive remedy for any claim of intellectual property infringement or misappropriation relating to the Licensee Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall not indemnify, defend or hold harmless MyECheck for any claims arising from: (a) any MyECheck intellectual property or software incorporated in or combined with the Licensee Materials where in the absence of such incorporated or combined item, there would not have been infringement; (b) Licensee Materials which have been altered or modified by MyECheck (other than in response to a request by Licensee), where in the absence of such alteration or modification the Licensee Materials would not be infringing; (c) use of an any version of the Licensee Materials for which Licensee has made available an updated, revised or repaired subsequent version; or (d) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of MyECheck or any of its agents, subcontractors or employees. Upon notice of any claim of infringement or upon reasonable belief of the likelihood of such a claim, Licensee shall have the right, at its option, to: (x) obtain the rights to continued use of the Licensee Materials; (y) substitute other suitable, functionally-equivalent, non-infringing materials; or (z) replace or modify the Licensee Materials or their design so that they are no longer infringing. Furthermore, Licensee agrees to maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $2.5 million, covering Licensee's obligations contained herein on a claims-made basis with coverage for at least one year from the date of completion of the services. The provisions of this Section 12 herein shall survive for a period of one year following the earlier of (a) completion of the Maintenance services or (b) termination of this Agreement.
Insurance Indemnity (a) For six years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company's and its Subsidiaries' current directors' and officers' liability insurance policies (the "Policies") covering those persons -------- who are currently covered by the Policies with respect to actions or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall -------- ------- the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 150% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance coverage, and, provided further, that if the -------- ------- annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain policies with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.
(b) The Surviving Corporation shall keep in effect in its bylaws provisions for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time (or, in the case of matters occurring prior to the Effective Time that have not been resolved prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, until such matters are finally resolved) that provide for exculpation of director and officer liability and indemnification (and advancement of expenses related thereto) of the past and present officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, which provisions shall not be amended except as required by applicable law or except to make changes permitted by law that would enhance the rights of past or present officers and directors to indemnification or advancement of expenses, and shall observe the indemnification agreements existing in favor of past and present officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, each of which are listed in the Disclosure Letter and copies of which have been previously provided to Purchaser.
(c) Subject to Section 8.6(f), from and after the Effective Time, the -------------- Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each person who is, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, an officer, director or similar person of the Company or any Subsidiary, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, "Losses") in connection with any claims, actions, suits, proceedings, ------ arbitrations, investigations or audits (collectively, "Litigation") arising ---------- before or after the Effective Time out of or pertaining to acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, by them in their capacities as such, which acts or omissions occurred prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, the Surviving Corporation shall periodically advance expenses as incurred with respect to the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law provided that the person to whom the expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
(d) The provisions of this Section 8.6 are intended for the benefit of and ----------- shall be enforceable by each person who is now or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, an officer, director or similar person of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any actual or potential conflict between the Surviving Corporation and any Indemnified Party or there are additional defenses available to any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Action with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, at the Surviving Corporation's expense; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay -------- ------- the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for any Indemnified Party in any single Action.

Securitization Indemnification (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects to the extent in Borrower’s possession.
(b) Borrower agrees to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) Borrower has carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Collateral,” “Description of the Mezzanine Loans,” “The Operating Company,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mezzanine Loans,” and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral and/or Operating Company) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) indemnifying Lender, each Noteholder, JPM (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of JPM or a Noteholder that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of JPM or a Noteholder that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities provided, however, that Borrower shall have liability with respect to Liabilities arising out of or based upon the Covered Disclosure Information only to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made in the Covered Disclosure Information in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender or such Noteholder by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents or in connection with the underwriting or the closing of the Loan (including without limitation financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Properties), and in no event shall Borrower be liable for Liabilities arising from information contained in a Disclosure Document that was not provided to Borrower for comment at least five (5) Business Days prior to its dissemination or on which Borrower provided comments to Lender in writing and Lender failed to incorporate such comments (assuming such comments were accurate). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act (if any), Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify Borrower thereof, Borrower shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Borrower to an Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, Borrower shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to Borrower, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which Borrower is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior consent of the Indemnified Person in question (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless Borrower shall have given such Indemnified Person reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as Borrower has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(f) Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of Borrower, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) Borrower agrees that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
(g) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrower further agrees that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and Borrower under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

g. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold the City harmless for any penalties, fines, fees or costs, including costs of defense, which are charged or assessed by any Federal, state or local agency including, but not limited to, Environmental Protection Agency or Department of Natural Resources.
