Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or
of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”,
including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging
activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in
connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims,
damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified
Person actually may become subject to, as a result of
Company’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice
on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to
reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such
Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing

the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be
brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such
Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and
Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may

such counsel related to such proceeding. Company 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, Company agrees to indemnify any
Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment. Company shall not, without
the prior written consent of
9
the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided
for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to therein, then Company under such paragraph,
