(i) The Bank will use reasonable care with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the safekeeping of Assets. The Bank shall be liable to the Customer for any loss which shall occur as the result of the failure of a Subcustodian to exercise reasonable care with respect to the safekeeping of such Assets to the same extent that the Bank would be liable to the Customer if the Bank were holding such Assets in New York.

(ii) The Bank will not be responsible for any act, omission, default or for the solvency of any broker or agent which it or a Subcustodian appoints unless such appointment was made negligently or in bad faith or for any loss due to the negligent act of such broker or agent except to the extent that such broker or agent (other than a Subcustodian) performs in a negligent manner which is the cause of the loss to the Customer and the Bank failed to exercise reasonable care in monitoring such broker’s or agent’s performance where Customer has requested and Bank has agreed to accept such monitoring responsibility.
(iii) The Bank shall be indemnified by, and without liability to the Customer for any action taken or omitted by the Bank whether pursuant to Instructions or otherwise within the scope of this Agreement if such act or omission was in good faith, without negligence. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Bank may rely on the genuineness of any document which it believes in good faith to have been validly executed.
(iv) The Customer agrees to pay for and hold the Bank harmless from any liability or loss resulting from the imposition or assessment of any taxes or other governmental charges, and any related expenses with respect to income from or Assets in the Accounts, except to the extent that the Bank has failed to exercise reasonable care in performing any obligations which the Bank may have agreed to assume (in addition to those stated in this Agreement) with respect to taxes and such failure by the Bank is the direct cause of such imposition or assessment of such taxes, charges or expenses.
(v) The Bank shall be entitled to rely, and may act, upon the advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Customer) on all legal matters and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice; provided, that the Bank gives (to the extent practicable) prior notice to Customer of Bank’s intention to so seek advice of counsel and an opportunity for consultation with Customer on the proposed contact with counsel.
(vi) The Bank represents and warrants that it currently maintain a banker's blanket bond which provides standard fidelity and non-negligent loss coverage with respect to the Securities and Cash which may be held by Subcustodians pursuant to this Agreement. The Bank agrees that if at any time it for any reason discontinues such coverage, it shall immediately give sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the Customer. The Bank need not maintain any insurance for the benefit of the Customer.
(vii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank shall not be liable for any loss which results from: (1) the general risk of investing, or (2) investing or holding Assets in a particular country including, but not limited to, losses resulting from nationalization, expropriation or other governmental actions; regulation of the banking or securities industry; currency restrictions, devaluations or fluctuations; and market conditions which prevent the orderly execution of securities transactions or affect the value of Assets.
(viii) Neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss due to forces beyond their control including, but not limited to strikes or work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear fusion, fission or radiation, or acts of God.
(b) Consistent with and without limiting the first paragraph of this Section 12, it is specifically acknowledged that the Bank shall have no duty or responsibility to:
(i) question Instructions or make any suggestions to the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding such Instructions;
(ii) supervise or make recommendations with respect to investments or the retention of Securities;
(iii) advise the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding any default in the payment of principal or income of any security other than as provided in Section 5(c) of this Agreement;
(iv) evaluate or report to the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding the financial condition of any broker, agent (other than a Subcustodian) or other party to which Securities are delivered or payments are made pursuant to this Agreement;
(v) review or reconcile trade confirmations received from brokers. The Customer or its Authorized Persons (as defined in Section 10) issuing Instructions shall bear any responsibility to review such confirmations against Instructions issued to and statements issued by the Bank.
(c) The Customer authorizes the Bank to act under this Agreement notwithstanding that the Bank or any of its divisions or affiliates may have a material interest in a transaction, or circumstances are such that the Bank may have a potential conflict of duty or interest including the fact that the Bank or any of its affiliates may provide brokerage services to other customers, act as financial advisor to the issuer of Securities, act as a lender to the issuer of Securities, act in the same transaction as agent for more than one customer, have a material interest in the issue of Securities, or earn profits from any of the activities listed herein.

(d) The warranties described in this Section 11.15 shall cover labour and material, including, the costs of removal and replacement of covering materials.

Project Co shall ensure that each Product warranty, including any Product warranty extended under this Section 11.15(f), is fully assigned to Contracting Authority, at no cost or expense to Contracting Authority, at the end of the Warranty Period, as such Warranty Period may be extended in accordance with Section 11.15(b).
