Responsibility of the Parties The Parties undertake to indemnify each other for any damage (loss) caused by their partial or complete non-performance or improper performance of the Agreement, and the indemnification of damage (loss) does not relieve the Parties from the performance/payment of their obligations under the Agreement.

Inter alia, in the event of a breach of the term specified in the subsection 3.3.6. of Annex N1 to the Bank Guarantee Agreement, Bank is entitled to charge the Customer with additional amount of the respective Interest (as the damage (loss) inflicted) for the period of breach of the term or the Bank shall be entitled to repay the above obligations not later than 14 (fourteen) calendar days after the written application.

The notice shall be deemed to have been accepted by the addressee on the day of its receipt if the receipt of the notice is confirmed by the addressee (including by electronic document, receipt, other appropriate means of notification, etc.). If the receipt of the notice is not confirmed by the addressee, any such notice shall be deemed to have been sent and received accordingly: In case of sending a written message by a courier or registered mail - on the day of confirmation of delivery; In case of sending by email and/or other electronic means - on the second Banking Day after the date of sending; Notice shall be deemed to have been received even if the notice is returned to the notifying Party due to the absence of the addressee of the notification on the sent address/contact data, the addressee refuses to receive the notice or avoids receiving it. The Parties will communicate according to the addresses/contact details specified in the Agreement (or any other address/contact information that one Party will provide in writing to the other). The Party is obliged to notify the other Party on the change of the above address or any of their data in a timely manner, otherwise the communication (notification etc.) carried out to the address indicated by the Party shall be deemed to have been duly performed.
Responsibility of Parties 51.3.1 The Parties agree to abide by the following if a forecast cannot be agreed to: Local Interconnection Trunk Groups will be provisioned to the higher forecast. A blocking standard of one percent (1%) during the average busy hour shall be maintained. Should the Parties not agree upon the forecast, and the Parties engineer facilities at the higher forecast, the Parties agree to abide by the following:
a. In the event that CLEC over-forecasts its trunking requirements by twenty percent (20%) or more, and CenturyLink acts upon this forecast to its detriment, CenturyLink may recoup any actual and reasonable expense it incurs.
b. The calculation of the twenty percent (20%) over-forecast will be based on the number of DS1 equivalents for the total traffic volume exchanged between the Parties.
51.3.2 In addition to the joint trunk group forecasting established in Section 51.1, discussions to provide relief to existing facilities can be initiated by either Party. Actual system augmentations will be initiated upon mutual agreement.
51.3.3 Both Parties will perform a joint validation to ensure current Interconnection Facilities and associated trunks have not been over-provisioned. If any facilities and/or associated trunks are over-provisioned, they will be turned down where appropriate. Trunk design blocking criteria described in Section 64.3.4 will be used in determining trunk group sizing requirements and forecasts.
51.3.4 If, based on the forecasted equivalent DS-1 growth, the existing facilities are not projected to exhaust within one year, the Parties will suspend further relief planning on this Interconnection until a date one (1) year prior to the projected exhaust date. If growth patterns change during the suspension period, either Party may re-initiate the joint planning process.
51.3.5 Both Parties will negotiate a project service date and corresponding work schedule to construct relief facilities prior to facilities exhaust.
INDEPENDENT CAPACITY OF THE CONTRACTOR The parties intend that an independent contractor relationship will be created by this contract.

Except as may arise from the Custodian’s own negligence or willful misconduct or the negligence or willful misconduct of a sub-custodian or agent, the Custodian shall be without liability to the Fund for any loss, liability, claim or expense resulting from or caused by; (i) events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Custodian or any sub-custodian or U.S. or Foreign Securities System or any agent or nominee of any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, nationalization or expropriation, imposition of currency controls or restrictions, the interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of any securities market, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or communications disruptions, acts of war or terrorism, riots, revolutions, work stoppages, natural disasters or other similar events or acts; (ii) errors by the Fund or the Investment Adviser in their instructions to the Custodian provided such instructions have been in accordance with this Contract; (iii) the insolvency of or acts or omissions by a U.S. or Foreign Securities System; (iv) any delay or failure of any broker, agent or intermediary, central bank or other commercially prevalent payment or clearing system to deliver to the Custodian’s sub-custodian or agent securities purchased or in the remittance or payment made in connection with securities sold; (v) any delay or failure of any company, corporation, or other body in charge of registering or transferring securities in the name of the Custodian, the Fund, the Custodian’s sub-custodians, nominees or agents or any consequential losses arising out of such delay or failure to transfer such securities including non-receipt of bonus, dividends and rights and other accretions or benefits; (vi) delays or inability to perform its duties due to any disorder in market infrastructure with respect to any particular security or U.S. or Foreign Securities System; and (vii) any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order of the United States, or any state thereof, or any other country, or political subdivision thereof or of any court of competent jurisdiction. The Custodian shall be liable for the acts or omissions of a foreign banking institution to the same extent as set forth with respect to sub-custodians generally in this Contract. If the Fund requires the Custodian to take any action with respect to securities, which action involves the payment of money or which action may, in the opinion of the Custodian, result in the Custodian or its nominee assigned to the Fund being liable for the payment of money or incurring liability of some other form, the Fund, as a prerequisite to requiring the Custodian to take such action, shall provide indemnity to the Custodian in an amount and form satisfactory to it. If the Fund requires the Custodian, its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents, to advance cash or securities for any purpose (including but not limited to securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts and assumed settlement) or in the event that the Custodian or its nominee shall incur or be assessed any taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with the performance of this Contract, except such as may arise from its or its nominee’s own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, any property at any time held for the account of the applicable Fund shall be security therefor and should the Fund fail to repay the Custodian promptly, the Custodian shall be entitled to utilize available cash and to dispose of such Fund’s assets to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for indirect, special or consequential damages.
