(i)           (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material provided under this Article II by or on behalf of the Company, or provided under this Article II by or on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Company Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Company Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;
 
(ii)           any breach by the Company under this Article II, including particularly any failure by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Article II, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 2.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB; or

(iv)           negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company in connection with its performance under this Article II.
 
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Company on the other

In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.
 
This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.
 
(b)           (i)           Any failure by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Article II, or any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2.02(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Company under the Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company as servicer under the Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Company (and if the Company is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of the Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Company as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
 
(ii)           Any failure by the Company, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 2.04 or 2.05, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 2.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Company under the Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company as servicer under the Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Company; provided that to the extent that any provision of the Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Company as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
 
Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to this subparagraph (ii)(B) if a failure of the Company to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans
 
(iii)           The Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Company as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer.  The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of the Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
