obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes,
equipment or transmission failure or damage reasonably beyond its control, or
other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable for
damages to the other for any damages resulting from such failure to perform or
otherwise from such causes, provided that the Bank shall use its best efforts to
minimize the likelihood of all damage, loss of data, delays and errors resulting
from uncontrollable events, and if such damage, loss of data, delays or errors
occur, the Bank shall use its best efforts to mitigate the effects of such
occurrence.
