Materials a material fact required to be stated in the
Securitization Materials or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light
23

Subsection 12.06. Third Party Beneficiary.

the rights and benefits hereof as if it were a direct party to this

harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may
sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to its
obligation to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any reconstitution
Agreement entered into purchase to Section 12, unless such failure is due
to the Purchaser's willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(b) The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master
Servicer and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon a breach by the Seller or any of its

hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Seller agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master
Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Seller on the other
in connection with a breach of the Servicer's obligations under Attachment
