POST-CLOSING COVENANTS. From and after the Closing, and until R-II-B has received all distributions due it from R-V, and Buyer has received all distributions due Buyer from R-II-B: -15- (a) SSC and JGW shall, and SSC shall cause R-II to, deliver to Buyer (i) all notices (and, in the case of JGW, servicer reports) delivered by SSC, R-II or JGW, as the case may be, under or pursuant to any Securitization Document simultaneously with the delivery of such notice, and (ii) all notices and reports received by SSC, R-II or JGW, as the case may be, under or pursuant to any Securitization Document promptly, but in any event within five (5) business days, after receipt of such notice. Without limiting the foregoing, SSC shall, promptly after the Closing, instruct (to the extent permitted to do so) the other parties to the Securitization Documents (other than the Series 2001-A Noteholders) to deliver copies of all notices and reports to Buyer. (b) Buyer, DVL, their respective assigns (or designated representative thereof) and independent accountants appointed by, or other agents of, any of the foregoing, shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice to SSC, to visit SSC, to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of R-II-B and R-V with, and to be advised as to the same by, SSC's officers, to examine the books of account and records of R-II-B and R-V, and to make or be provided with a copy and extract therefrom, all at such reasonable times and intervals (but not more than once in any one-month period) and to such reasonable extent during regular business hours as Buyer, DVL, their respective assigns (or designated representative thereof) or such accountants or agents appointed by any of the foregoing, as applicable, may desire. JGW shall cooperate reasonably in providing any information requested by Buyer, DVL, their respective assigns (or designated representative thereof) or such accountants or agents appointed by any of the foregoing pursuant to this Section 8(b). Each of SSC, R-II, R-II-B and JGW recognizes that Buyer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a company that is required to report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. (c) Neither R-II-B nor R-V will engage in any business other than the business of acquiring, holding, managing and transferring structured settlement receivables as in effect on the Closing Date. (d) After the obligations of JGW as Master Servicer have terminated under the 8/2/01 Indenture and the 2001-A Supplement (the "2001 Agreements"), other than as a result of a Service Transfer (as defined in the 8/13/01 Indenture) following a Servicer Default, (i) JGW (or its successor permitted by the Securitization Documents) shall continue to serve as administrator and/or servicer with respect to the relevant Receivables upon the terms and conditions set forth in the 2001 Agreements, as the case may be, for the benefit of R-V until -16- Buyer shall have received all distributions due Buyer from R-II-B, and (ii) in the event of a breach or default by any of SSC, JGW or R-II of its obligations under any Securitization Document, Buyer shall have the right, upon prior written notice to such party, to enforce R-V's rights under the Securitization Document (and the certificates and documents, but not the legal opinions, executed in connection therewith) as if Buyer were a party thereto; provided, however, that (1) Buyer shall take no such action if, within thirty (30) days after Buyer has delivered such written notice, SSC, JGW or R-II, as the case may be, shall have cured such breach or default, and (2) such enforcement rights shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Securitization Documents; provided further that, after payment in full of all notes and other obligations in favor of the Series 2001-A Noteholders, (A) the rights of the Trustee, any Rating Agency, any Controlling Party or any other third party VIS-A-VIS JGW under such agreements shall be deemed to be rights of the Issuer, and (B) if JGW or an affiliate of JGW is the Applicable Master Servicer, Buyer shall have the sole right to give any Termination Notices to the Master Servicer and to appoint a Successor Servicer on such terms and conditions as are agreed to by Buyer; provided, however, as long as one or both of the Notes are outstanding, Buyer and SSC shall mutually agree upon the choice of a Successor Servicer, each such party covenanting to act reasonably and in good faith in mutually agreeing to such appointment. (e) Buyer directs JGW, as servicer under the Securitization Documents, and JGW accepts such direction, to make all payments due under the Notes directly to SSC. 9. INDEMNIFICATION OF BUYER AND DVL. (a) BASIC PROVISION. SSC hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Buyer, DVL and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (in this Section 9 sometimes referred to as a "Section 9 Indemnitee"), from, against and in respect of the amount of any and all Section 9 Deficiencies (as hereinafter defined). (b) DEFINITION OF "SECTION 9 DEFICIENCIES". As used in this Section 9, "Section 9 Deficiencies" means: (i) any and all losses or damages resulting from any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or any non-fulfillment of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement on the part of SSC, JGW, R-II, R-II-B or R-II-B Holdings contained herein or in any Seller Transaction Document; (ii) any and all judgments, settlements and/or other direct losses and/or damages (but not indirect, -17- consequential or special damages including, without limitations, loss of profits) resulting from third party claims in connection with the securitization described in the Securitization Documents including, without limitation, claims by any claimant that is a party to a settlement purchase agreement with SSC, such claimant's bankruptcy estate, any governmental entity, or any annuity provider, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer, DVL or any other Section 9 Indemnitee; and (iii) attorneys' fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred incident to any of the foregoing. (c) PROCEDURES FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. In the event that any claim shall be asserted by any party against any Section 9 Indemnitee which, if sustained, would result in a Section 9 Deficiency, such Section 9 Indemnitee, within a reasonable time after learning of such claim, shall notify SSC of such claim, and if such Section 9 Indemnitee intends to assert the right to indemnification hereunder with respect to such claim, then such Section 9 Indemnitee shall extend to SSC a reasonable opportunity to defend against such claim, at SSC's sole expense and through legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Section 9 Indemnitee, provided that SSC proceeds in good faith, expeditiously and diligently. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure to timely give the notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall not negate or impair the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 9, but shall give SSC the right to offset against any indemnity payments made by it hereunder the actual damages caused to it as a result of such failure. Such Section 9 Indemnitee shall, at its option and expense, have the right to participate in any defense undertaken by SSC with legal counsel of such Section 9 Indemnitee's own selection. No settlement or compromise of any claim which may result in a Section 9 Deficiency may be made by SSC without the prior written consent of such Section 9 Indemnitee unless (A) prior to such settlement or compromise SSC acknowledges in writing its obligation to pay in full the amount of the settlement and all associated expenses and (B) such Section 9 Indemnitee is furnished with reasonably satisfactory evidence and security that SSC will in fact pay such amount and expenses. (d) PAYMENT OF SECTION 9 DEFICIENCIES. In the event any Section 9 Indemnitee discovers and claims any Section 9 Deficiency, such Section 9 Indemnitee shall give written notice to SSC of the nature and amount of the Section 9 Deficiency. SSC hereby agrees to pay the amount of any valid claim to such Section 9 Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after such notice is given. (e) ABSOLUTE CAP. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in no event shall the maximum aggregate -18- indemnification obligation of SSC under this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the purchase and sale hereunder exceed the Purchase Price actually received by SSC; provided, however, this Section 9(e) shall not apply to SSC's indemnification obligation with respect to losses and damages under Section 9(b)(ii) and attorneys' fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred incident thereto. (f) LIMITATION AND DEDUCTIBLE FOR SECTION 9 DEFICIENCIES. (i) Except for the representations contained in Sections 2(a)(i) through (iv), each of which shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations, no claim for indemnity on account of a breach of representation shall be made unless such claim is set forth in a written notice thereof given to SSC on or prior to that date which is eighteen (18) months after the date of Closing hereunder; provided, however, this Section 9(f)(i) shall not apply to SSC's indemnification obligation with respect to losses and damages under Section 9(b)(ii) and attorneys' fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred incident thereto, which obligation shall survive indefinitely. (ii) No claim(s) for Section 9 Deficiencies, except for claim(s) based upon a breach of a covenant or agreement hereunder, may be made against SSC unless the aggregate amount of such claim(s) exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the "Threshold Amount"), but if such claim(s) exceeds in the aggregate the Threshold Amount, Section 9 Indemnitee may claim for the entire amount of such claim(s) including such Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) amount. (iii) At the direction of Buyer (subject to Section 9(h)), SSC will, and at the election of SSC, SSC may satisfy, all or any portion of the Section 9 Deficiencies payable by SSC by giving written notice to Buyer that Buyer shall be permitted to offset an amount specified in such notice against the next installments of the principal amount and accrued interest thereon of the Notes, and the amount of the Section 9 Deficiency deemed to be satisfied thereby shall be equal to the aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest of such offset; provided, however, this Section 9(f)(iii) shall not apply to SSC's indemnification obligation with respect to losses and damages under Section 9(b)(ii) and attorneys' fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred incident thereto. (g) INSURANCE. Buyer and DVL hereby irrevocably assign to SSC all of their respective rights to receive, and their respective interests in, any and all any amounts receivable by them under any insurance policy(ies) as a result of, or relating to, any and/or all of the Section 9 Deficiencies (or -19- deliver to SSC all amounts received by them) to the extent of all amounts received by them under this Section 9, subject to any rights of recapture by any insurer under such insurance policies; PROVIDED THAT, in the event that any indemnification payments made to a Section 9 Indemnitee shall, for any reason, be required to be returned or otherwise disgorged to SSC (including, without limitation, as a preference payment in a bankruptcy of SSC), SSC's indemnification obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to have been satisfied and shall be deemed reinstituted to the extent of the amount so returned or disgorged. (h) SET-OFF. Upon discovery by any party of a breach by any other party of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2, the discovering party shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto. If such breach materially and adversely affects Buyer's interest in the Class B Interest and a court of competent jurisdiction (in a proceeding in which SSC received notice and was given the opportunity to appear and defend itself) renders a judgment in favor of Buyer in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) arising from a breach by SSC of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2, Buyer shall have the right to set-off against any payment thereafter due under the Notes an amount equal to such judgment. 10. INDEMNIFICATION OF SSC AND AFFILIATES. (a) BASIC PROVISION. Buyer and DVL hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold harmless SSC, JGW, R-II, R-II-B, R-II-B Holdings and R-V, and their respective members (other than Buyer), partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (in this Section 10 sometimes referred to as a "Section 10 Indemnitee"), from, against and in respect of the amount of any and all Section 10 Deficiencies (as hereinafter defined). (b) DEFINITION OF "SECTION 10 DEFICIENCIES". As used in this Section 10, "Section 10 Deficiencies" means: (i) any and all losses or damages resulting from any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or any non-fulfillment of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer and/or DVL contained herein or in any Buyer Transaction Document; (ii) any and all judgments, settlements and/or other direct losses and/or damages (but not indirect, consequential or special damages including, without limitations, loss of profits) resulting from third party (including, without limitation, any government or agency, commission or other arm thereof) claims in connection with any disclosure or filing with -20- any government or agency, commission or other arm thereof made or omitted by or on behalf of DVL or one or more of its affiliates (or their respective successors or assigns), or any securities law violation (or alleged violation) by DVL or one or more of its affiliates (or their respective successors or assigns), unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of SSC or any other Section 10 Indemnitee; and (iii) attorneys' fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred incident to any of the foregoing. (c) PROCEDURES FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. In the event that any claim shall be asserted by any party against any Section 10 Indemnitee which, if sustained, would result in a Section 10 Deficiency, such Section 10 Indemnitee, within a reasonable time after learning of such claim, shall notify DVL of such claim, and if such Section 10 Indemnitee intends to assert the right to indemnification hereunder with respect to such claim, then such Section 10 Indemnitee shall extend to DVL a reasonable opportunity to defend against such claim, at DVL's sole expense and through legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Section 10 Indemnitee, provided that DVL proceeds in good faith, expeditiously and diligently. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure to timely give the notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall not negate or impair the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 10, but shall give Buyer and DVL the right to offset against any indemnity payments made by them hereunder the actual damages caused to them as a result of such failure. Such Section 10 Indemnitee shall, at its option and expense, have the right to participate in any defense undertaken by DVL with legal counsel of such Section 10 Indemnitee's own selection. No settlement or compromise of any claim which may result in a Section 10 Deficiency may be made by DVL without the prior written consent of such Section 10 Indemnitee unless (A) prior to such settlement or compromise DVL acknowledges in writing its obligation to pay in full the amount of the settlement and all associated expenses and (B) such Section 10 Indemnitee is furnished with reasonably satisfactory evidence and security that DVL will in fact pay such amount and expenses. (d) PAYMENT OF SECTION 10 DEFICIENCIES. In the event any Section 10 Indemnitee discovers and claims any Section 10 Deficiency, such Section 10 Indemnitee shall give written notice to DVL of the nature and amount of the Section 10 Deficiency. DVL hereby agrees to pay the amount of any valid claim to such Section 10 Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after such notice is given. (e) ABSOLUTE CAP. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in no event shall the maximum aggregate -21- indemnification obligation of Buyer and DVL under this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the purchase and sale hereunder exceed the distributions and other monies actually received by Buyer with respect to the Class B Interest; provided, however, this Section 10(e) shall not apply to the indemnification obligations of Buyer and DVL with respect to losses and damages under Section 10(b)(ii) and attorneys' fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred incident thereto. (f) LIMITATION AND DEDUCTIBLE FOR SECTION 10 DEFICIENCIES. (i) Except for the representations contained in Sections 3(a) through (d), each of which shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations, no claim for indemnity on account of a breach of representation shall be made unless such claim is set forth in a written notice thereof given to DVL on or prior to that date which is eighteen (18) months after the date of Closing hereunder; provided, however, this Section 10(f)(i) shall not apply to the indemnification obligations of Buyer and DVL with respect to losses and damages under Section 10(b)(ii) and attorneys' fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred incident thereto, which obligations shall survive indefinitely. (ii) No claim(s) for Section 10 Deficiencies, except for claim(s) based upon a breach of a covenant or agreement hereunder, may be made against DVL unless the aggregate amount of such claim(s) exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the "Threshold Amount"), but if such claim(s) exceeds in the aggregate the Threshold Amount, Section 10 Indemnitee may claim for the entire amount of such claim(s) including such Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) amount. (g) INSURANCE. SSC, JGW, R-II, R-II-B and R-II-B Holdings hereby irrevocably assign to Buyer all of their respective rights to receive, and their respective interests in, any and all any amounts receivable by them under any insurance policy(ies) as a result of, or relating to, any and/or all of the Section 10 Deficiencies (or deliver to Buyer all amounts received by them) to the extent of all amounts received by them under this Section 10, subject to any rights of recapture by any insurer under such insurance policies; PROVIDED THAT, in the event that any indemnification payments made to a Section 10 Indemnitee shall, for any reason, be required to be returned or otherwise disgorged to Buyer or DVL (including, without limitation, as a preference payment in a bankruptcy of Buyer or DVL), Buyer's and DVL's indemnification obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to have been satisfied and shall be deemed reinstituted to the extent of the amount so returned or disgorged. -22- 11. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) WAIVERS. The failure (or delay) of any of the parties to this Agreement to require the performance of a term or obligation under this Agreement or the waiver by any of the parties to this Agreement of any breach hereunder shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach hereunder. (b) CONTROLLING LAW.
