(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.

 

(m)       Limitation on Liability. No party shall be required to pay or be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect or punitive damages, opportunity costs or lost profits; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any party’s obligation to make any amount otherwise payable in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement.

 

(n)       Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. The parties agree that the definitions and provisions contained in the ISDA 2012 FATCA Protocol as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. on August 15, 2012, are incorporated into and apply to this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.
