6.4          Indemnity.

 

(a)           Debtor releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and its respective officers, employees and agents, of and from any claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, judgments, injuries, losses, damages and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) resulting from (i) acts or conduct of Debtor under, pursuant or related to this Agreement and the other Bond Documents, (ii) Debtor’s breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking contained in this Agreement or the other Bond Documents, and (iii) any claim by any other creditor of Debtor against Lender arising out of any transaction whether hereunder or in any way related to the Bond Documents and all costs, expenses, fines, penalties or other damages resulting therefrom, unless resulting solely from acts or conduct of Lender constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

(b)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) above of notice of the commencement of any action by a third party, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof.  The omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection only if the indemnifying party is unable to defend such actions as a result of such failure to so notify.  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnified party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
