INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 9.01. Indemnification of Purchaser. Each of the Trust,
the Servicer and the Depositor hereby agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify
and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims,
reasonable damages, liabilities, expenses or judgments (including reasonable
accounting fees and legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with
this Certificate Purchase Agreement or any other Basic Document and any action,
suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred
(payable promptly upon written request), for or on account of or arising from or
in connection with any information prepared by and furnished or to be furnished
by any of the Trust, Loan Originator, Servicer or the Depositor pursuant to or
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including, without
limitation, such written information as may have been and may be furnished in
connection with any due diligence investigation with respect to the business,
operations, financial condition of the Trust, Loan Originator, the Servicer, the
Depositor or with respect to the Loans, to the extent such information contains
any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading;
provided, however, that the Trust, Loan Originator, Servicer or the Depositor
shall not be so required to indemnify an Indemnified Party or to otherwise be
liable to an Indemnified Party for any losses in respect of the performance of
the Loans, the creditworthiness of the Borrowers under the Loans, changes in the
market value of the Loans or other, similar investment risks associated with the
Loans or for any losses arising from a breach of any representation or warranty
set forth in Sections 4.02 or 4.04 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement hereof,
to the extent that a remedy for the breach of which is provided in Sections 3.05
or 4.05 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The indemnities contained in this
Section 9.01 will be in addition to any liability which the Trust, the Servicer
or the Depositor may otherwise have pursuant to this Certificate Purchase
Agreement and any other Basic Document.
SECTION 9.02. Procedure and Defense. In case any action or
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or
proceeding) shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Party in respect of
which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.01, such Indemnified Party
shall promptly notify the Trust, the Servicer and the Depositor in writing and,
upon request of the Indemnified Party, the Trust, the Servicer and the Depositor
shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party and
any others the indemnifying party may designate and shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided that
no failure to give such notice or deliver such documents shall effect the rights
to indemnity hereunder. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its
own counsel in any such action in addition to the counsel of the Servicer, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such Indemnified
Party, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party at its
expense has been reasonably authorized in writing by the Depositor, Trust or
Servicer, (ii) the Depositor, Trust or Servicer has not in fact employed counsel
to assume the defense of such
-16-
20
action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of
the action, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) including the Depositor, Trust or Servicer and
one or more Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnified Parties shall have been
advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to
them which are different from or additional to those available to the Depositor,
Trust or Servicer. Expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Party shall be
reimbursed by the Trust, the Servicer and the Depositor as they are incurred.
The Trust, the Servicer and the Depositor shall not be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Neither the Trust, the
Servicer nor the Depositor will, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding
in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
