Limitation on Liability of Servicer The Servicer shall not be under any liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Administrator, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement, for errors in judgment, for any incorrect or incomplete information provided by schools, borrowers, Guarantors and the Department, for the failure of any party to this Servicing Agreement or any other Basic Document to comply with its respective obligations hereunder or under any other Basic Document or for any losses attributable to the insolvency of any Guarantor; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer against its obligation to purchase Student Loans from the Trust pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof or to pay to the Trust amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof or against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action where it is not named as a party; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the interests of the Noteholders. To the extent that the Servicer is required to appear in or is made a defendant in any legal action or other proceeding relating to the servicing of the Trust Student Loans, the Issuer shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless from all cost, liability or expense of the Servicer not arising out of or relating to the failure of the Servicer to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
Limitation on Consequential Damages NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAULT, NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), REPRESENTATION, STRICT LIABILITY OR PRODUCT LIABILITY), FOR COVER OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, MULTIPLIED, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFIT, SAVINGS OR BUSINESS ARISING FROM OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF A PARTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THESE EXCLUSIONS OF POTENTIAL DAMAGES WERE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN SETTING CONSIDERATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
Performance of Service; Limitation of Liability A. PFS shall exercise reasonable care in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. PFS shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with matters to which this Agreement relates, including losses resulting from mechanical breakdowns or the failure of communication or power supplies beyond PFS's control, except a loss arising out of or relating to PFS's refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or from bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct on its part in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if PFS has exercised reasonable care in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless PFS from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities (whether with or without basis in fact or law) of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which PFS may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against PFS by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in performing the services hereunder, except for any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities arising out of or relating to PFS's refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or from bad faith, negligence or from willful misconduct on its part in performance of its duties under this Agreement, (i) in accordance with the foregoing standards, or (ii) in reliance upon any written or oral instruction provided to PFS by any duly authorized officer of the Trust, such duly authorized officer to be included in a list of authorized officers furnished to PFS and as amended from time to time in writing by resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. PFS shall indemnify and hold the Trust harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities (whether with or without basis in fact or law) of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which the Trust may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against the Trust by any person arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by PFS as a result of PFS's refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, its bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct. In the event of a mechanical breakdown or failure of communication or power supplies beyond its control, PFS shall take all reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions for any period that such interruption continues beyond PFS's control. PFS will make every reasonable effort to restore any lost or damaged data and correct any errors resulting from such a breakdown at the expense of PFS. PFS agrees that it shall, at all times, have reasonable contingency plans with appropriate parties, making reasonable provision for emergency use of electrical data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available. Representatives of the Trust shall be entitled to inspect PFS's premises and operating capabilities at any time during regular business hours of PFS, upon reasonable notice to PFS.
B. In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this section shall apply, it is understood that if in any case the indemnitor may be asked to indemnify or hold the indemnitee harmless, the indemnitor shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the indemnitee will use all reasonable care to notify the indemnitor promptly concerning any situation which presents or appears likely to present the probability of a claim for indemnification. The indemnitor shall have the option to defend the indemnitee against any claim which may be the subject of this indemnification. In the event that the indemnitor so elects, it will so notify the indemnitee and thereupon the indemnitor shall take over complete defense of the claim, and the indemnitee shall in such situation initiate no further legal or other expenses for which it shall seek indemnification under this section. The indemnitee shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the indemnitor will be asked to indemnify the indemnitee except with the indemnitor's prior written consent.
C. PFS is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee or agent liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust and agrees that obligations assumed by the Trust pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Trust and its assets, and if the liability relates to one or more Funds, the obligations hereunder shall be limited to the respective assets of such Fund. PFS further agrees that it shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from any shareholder of a Fund, nor from any Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust.
Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of Compensation By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Performance Stock Units evidenced hereby, the Participant acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards; (iii) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; (iv) that the value of the Performance Stock Units is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; and (v) that the future value of the Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.
Limitation on Liability The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
Limitation on Liabilities IF EITHER THE EXECUTIVE OR THE COMPANY IS AWARDED ANY DAMAGES AS COMPENSATION FOR ANY BREACH OR ACTION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, A BREACH OF ANY COVENANT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY EITHER LAW OR FACT), OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON ANY BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO CONTRACTUAL DAMAGES AND SHALL EXCLUDE (I) PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND (II) CONSEQUENTIAL AND/OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (E.G., LOST PROFITS AND OTHER INDIRECT OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES). THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT THE EXECUTIVE MAY RECOVER FOR ANY REASON SHALL BE THE AMOUNT EQUAL TO ALL AMOUNTS OWED (BUT NOT YET PAID) TO THE EXECUTIVE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT THROUGH ITS NATURAL TERM OR THROUGH ANY SEVERANCE PERIOD, PLUS INTEREST ON ANY DELAYED PAYMENT AT THE MAXIMUM RATE PER ANNUM ALLOWABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW FROM AND AFTER THE DATE(S) THAT SUCH PAYMENTS WERE DUE.
Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Issuer or any Securityholder, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the interests of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Noteholders under the Indenture. The legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Issuer.
Consultant's Liability In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Consultant or the Consultant's breach of any terms of this Agreement, the Consultant shall not be liable to the Company or to any officer, director, employee, stockholder or creditor of the Company, for any act or omission in the course of or in connection with the rendering or providing of services hereunder. Except in those cases where the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Consultant or the breach by the Consultant of any terms of this Agreement is alleged and proven, the Company agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Consultant harmless from and against any and all reasonable costs, expenses and liability (including reasonable attorney's fees paid in the defense of the Consultant) which may in any way result from services rendered by the Consultant pursuant to or in any connection with this Agreement. This indemnification expressly excludes any and all damages as a result of any actions or statements, on behalf of the Company, made by the Consultant without the prior approval or authorization of the Company.
No Limitation on Liability Such insurance as required herein shall not be deemed to limit Contractor’s liability relating to performance under this Contract. District reserves the right to require complete certified copies of all said policies at any time. The procuring of insurance shall not be construed as a limitation on liability or as full performance of the indemnification and hold harmless provisions of this Contract. Contractor understands and agrees that, notwithstanding any insurance, Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and hold District, its trustees, officials, agents, volunteers, and employees harmless hereunder is for the full and total amount of any damage, injuries, loss, expense, costs, or liabilities caused by or in any manner connected with or attributed to the acts or omissions of Contractor, its officers, agents, subcontractors (of all tiers), employees, licensees, patrons, or visitors, or the operations conducted by Contractor, or the Contractor’s use, misuse, or neglect of the District’s premises.
Limitation on Personal Liability All parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the Trust is a series trust and all debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series shall be enforceable against the assets held with respect to such series only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally or against the assets held with respect to any other series and further that no Trustee, officer or holder of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust shall be personally liable for any of the foregoing.
