Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if any such failure, error, malfunction or delay results from Backup Servicer acting in accordance with applicable laws, regulations or rules or from acts of God, war or terrorism, insurrection, strikes, stoppages of labor, power or equipment failure or malfunction (including that of any common carrier or transmission line), loss or malfunction of communications or computer (hardware or software) services, emergency conditions, tornado, flood, fire, earthquake or similar event, adverse weather conditions or any other factor, medium, instrumentality or any cause or circumstances, directly or indirectly, where such cause or circumstance is beyond Backup Servicer’s control or for information prepared or supplied by a Person other than Backup Servicer as contemplated hereunder or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information.
(e) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES MADE BY BACKUP SERVICER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL ISSUING ENTITY, GRANTOR TRUST, BACKUP SERVICER OR THE SERVICER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF CURRENCY, FUNDS, DATA, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ISSUING ENTITY, GRANTOR TRUST, BACKUP SERVICER OR THE SERVICER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

In the case of any disclosure permitted by clause (b) or (c), Backup Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) provide Servicer, each Client and Indenture Trustee with advance notice of any such disclosure and (B) cooperate with Servicer, each Client and Indenture Trustee in limiting the extent or effect of any such disclosure. To the extent that any information provided to the Backup Servicer in connection with this Agreement meets the definition of “non-public personal information” as that term is defined in Title V of the GLB Act and/or is subject to protection under any federal or state statute, rule, regulation or guideline relating to privacy (including, but not limited to, the GLB Act and each federal or state rule, regulation or guideline implementing requirement of that statute) (“NPI Rules”), the Backup Servicer shall treat such information as confidential in accordance with the terms of the GLB Act and the NPI Rules.
