or implied therefrom and any and all personal liability of
every such shareholder, member, equity holder, officer,

distributed, the Securitisation Company shall not be

If the Compartment Assets are insufficient to satisfy in full the Parties’ claims with respect to the Purchaser, any further liability of the Purchaser or the Securitisation Company shall be excluded and the Parties shall not be entitled to assert any further claims against the Purchaser or the Securitisation Company. These assets are proceeds are considered “insufficient to satisfy in full” if, upon satisfaction of any higher raking senior obligations the Purchaser may have, no further Compartment Assets are available and no further proceeds can be obtained by the Purchaser to satisfy outstanding claims of the Parties. In such a case, the claim to full repayment is lost. The Parties shall in particular have no recourse or claim to other assets of the Securitisation Company, including assets of other Compartments or general assets of the Securitisation Company not attributable to the Purchaser.
15.3. The Parties undertake not to open or initiate or join any person in initiating any court proceedings against the Securitisation Company or the Purchaser in connection with claims under these Conditions and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which lead or could lead to the opening of any insolvency proceedings or of similar proceedings aimed at liquidating the Securitisation Company or the Purchaser or any other collective or reorganisation proceedings against them, appointing a liquidator or receiver or seizing or enforcing any of the assets of the Purchaser, including the assets of other Compartments or general assets of the Securitisation Company not allocated to the Purchaser.

15.4. This Clause 15 shall continue to be effective after the termination or expiry of these Conditions and the Receivables Purchase Agreement and/or any related transaction documentation.
15.5. For the avoidance of doubt no recourse under any obligation, covenant, or agreement of the Purchaser contained in these Conditions shall be had against any shareholder, officer, agent or director of the Purchaser as such, by the enforcement of any obligation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligation arising from false representations under these Conditions (other than by wilful default or gross negligence)) or by any proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is a corporate obligation of the Purchaser and no liability shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, officers, agents or directors of the Purchaser as such, or any of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Purchaser contained in these Conditions, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Purchaser of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at law or by statute or constitution, of every such shareholder, officer, agent or director is hereby expressly waived by the other parties hereto as a condition of and consideration for the execution of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
15.2. If the Compartment Assets are insufficient to satisfy in full the Parties’ claims with respect to the Purchaser, any further liability of the Purchaser or the Securitisation Company shall be excluded and the Parties shall not be entitled to assert any further claims against the Purchaser or the Securitisation Company. These assets are proceeds are considered “insufficient to satisfy in full” if, upon satisfaction of any higher raking senior obligations the Purchaser may have, no further Compartment Assets are available and no further proceeds can be obtained by the Purchaser to satisfy outstanding claims of the Parties. In such a case, the claim to full repayment is lost. The Parties shall in particular have no recourse or claim to other assets of the Securitisation Company, including assets of other Compartments or general assets of the Securitisation Company not attributable to the Purchaser.
15.3. The Parties undertake not to open or initiate or join any person in initiating any court proceedings against the Securitisation Company or the Purchaser in connection with claims under these Conditions and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which lead or could lead to the opening of any insolvency proceedings or of similar proceedings aimed at liquidating the Securitisation Company or the Purchaser or any other collective or reorganisation proceedings against them, appointing a liquidator or receiver or seizing or enforcing any of the assets of the Purchaser, including the assets of other Compartments or general assets of the Securitisation Company not allocated to the Purchaser. However, this clause 15.3 shall not restrict the Parties ability to take action against the Purchaser which will not result in the institution or potential institution of insolvency or similar proceedings relating to Securitisation Company´s or Purchaser´s winding-up, the appointment of a receiver in insolvency, any attachment of the Purchaser´s assets or execution upon the Purchaser´s assets, provided that such steps are always limited to Compartment Assets.
15.4. This Clause 15 shall continue to be effective after the termination or expiry of these Conditions and the Receivables Purchase Agreement and/or any related transaction documentation.
15.5. For the avoidance of doubt no recourse under any obligation, covenant, or agreement of the Purchaser contained in these Conditions shall be had against any shareholder, officer, agent or director of the Purchaser as such, by the enforcement of any obligation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligation arising from false representations under these Conditions (other than by wilful default or gross negligence)) or by any proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is a corporate obligation of the Purchaser and no liability shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, officers, agents or directors of the Purchaser as such, or any of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Purchaser contained in these Conditions, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Purchaser of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at law or by statute or constitution, of every such shareholder, officer, agent or director is hereby expressly waived by the other parties hereto as a condition of and consideration for the execution of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
16. Waiver of offsetting
The Seller waives, including in the event of insolvency, all
rights of retention and offsetting against claims of the
Purchaser, except for any rights of retention and offsetting
