(g) Actions in Accordance with Applicable Laws. The Paying Agent shall not be required to comply with any terms of this Agreement if, in its judgment, such compliance could subject it, IDB or the Participants to any criminal or civil liability unless, in the case of civil liability, the Paying Agent shall have been indemnified in a manner satisfactory to it. Nothing herein shall require or authorize the Paying Agent to take any action in breach of any applicable law or of its obligations under this Agreement or the Participation Agreement.

The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, regardless of whether or not such damages are foreseeable or contemplated.

(c) No Rights to Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give any Person, other than the parties hereto, the Participants and their successors and permitted assigns, any benefit or any legal, equitable or other right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
