The Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Seller from and against all losses and damages of any kind arising as a result of the breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties of the Buyer set forth in this Section, including without limitation any amounts required to be paid, and all costs and expenses of the Seller (including legal costs and expenses), in connection with the discharge of any encumbrances or liens of any kind existing on the Trade-In Equipment at the time of transfer to the Seller or otherwise related to the Seller’s ownership, possession or use of the Trade-In Equipment prior to such transfer.
