(b) Severability. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii) in the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor, in good faith negotiations, to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
(c) Netting. In the event that any Terminated Transaction cannot be aggregated and netted against all other Terminated Transactions under Section 6(e) of this Agreement, such excluded Terminated Transactions shall be aggregated and netted amongst themselves to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(d) Escrow Payments. If by reason of the time difference between the cities in which payments are to be made, it is not possible for simultaneous payments to be made on any date on which both parties are required to make payments hereunder, either party may at its option and in its sole discretion notify the other party that payments on that date are to be made in escrow. In this case the deposit of the payment due earlier on that date shall be made by 2:00 p.m. (local time at the place for the earlier payment) on that date with an escrow agent selected by the party giving the notice, accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions (i) to release the deposited payment to the intended recipient upon receipt by the escrow agent of the required deposit of the corresponding payment from the other party on the same date accompanied by the irrevocable payment instructions to the same effect or (ii) if the required deposit of the corresponding payment is not made on that same date, to return the payment deposited to the party that paid it into escrow.

The Party B Investor has disclosed in its prospectus or other offering documents that it may enter into transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations.

Party B shall promptly execute and return the Confirmation to Party A or request correction of any error. Failure of Party B to respond within such period shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such Transaction and shall be deemed to be an affirmation and acceptance of such terms.
(l) Recourse Limited to Party B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Schedule or any Confirmation or other document issued or delivered in connection with any Transaction entered into under this Agreement, any amounts owed or liabilities incurred by Party B hereunder or in respect of any Transaction entered into under this Agreement, shall be satisfied solely from the assets of Party B and no recourse whether by set-off or otherwise, shall be had to the assets of the Manager or any director, officer or employee or partner of Party B or the Manager or any of their Affiliates, except that the foregoing will not limit service of process on Party B by delivery of notice on its behalf to Party B.
