(v) if sent by electronic messaging system, at the time that electronic message is received; except that any notice or communication which is received, or delivery of which is attempted, after close of business on the date of receipt or attempted delivery or on a day which is not a day on which commercial banks are open for business in the place where that notice or other communication is to be given shall be treated as given at the opening of business on the next following day which is such a day.

14(c) If

(i) there occurs in relation to either Party An event which, upon the service of a Default Notice, would be an Event of Default; and

(ii) the non Defaulting Party, having made all practicable efforts to do so, including having attempted to use at least two of the methods specified in sub paragraph 14(b)(ii), (iii) or (v), has been unable to serve a Default Notice by one of the methods specified in those sub paragraphs (or such of those methods as are normally used by the non-Defaulting Party when communicating with the Defaulting Party), the non-Defaulting Party may sign a written notice (a “Special Default Notice”) which

(aa) specifies the relevant event referred to in paragraph 10(a) which has occurred in relation to the Defaulting Party;

(bb) states that the non Defaulting Party, having made all practicable efforts to do so, including having attempted to use at least two of the methods specified in sub paragraph 14(b)(ii), (iii) or (v), has been unable to serve a Default Notice by one of the methods specified in those sub paragraphs (or such of those methods as are normally used by the non-Defaulting Party when communicating with the Defaulting Party);

On the signature of a Special Default Notice the relevant event shall be treated with effect from the date and time so specified as an Event of Default in relation to the Defaulting Party, and accordingly references in paragraph 10 to a Default Notice shall be treated as including a Special Default Notice. A Special Default Notice shall be given to the Defaulting Party as soon as practicable after it is signed.

14(d) Either party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications are to be given to it.
