Indemnity by the Issuer. In the event that any Agent, or any director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person of such Agent incurs any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand, damage or expense (including without limitation, properly incurred legal fees and any value added tax thereon) as a result of or in connection with its appointment or the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, discretions and duties, except such as may result from its own wilful default, fraud or gross negligence (in each case, a “Loss”), the Issuer will indemnify the relevant Agent for such Loss by paying to such Agent on demand an amount equal to such Loss. Without prejudice to the rights of the Agents to seek indemnity from the Issuer, each Agent shall, save to the extent that it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or regulation, notify the Issuer promptly of any third party claim for which it may seek an indemnity from the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will the Agents be liable to the Issuer or any other party to this Agreement for any consequential loss (being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit) or any special or punitive damages of any kind whatsoever; in each case however caused or arising and whether or not foreseeable, even if advised of the possibility of such loss or damage. The provisions of this Clause 16.15 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Registrar or any other Agent and the termination of this Agreement.
