   of AES filing as specified in paragraph a. above, Carrier will
   submit the SED electronically through the AES in accordance with
   all applicable U.S. Customs' regulations.  When Carrier files an
   SED electronically through AES, Carrier will assess the AES

   jointly and severally liable for, and shall indemnify and hold
   the Carrier harmless from, any loss, damage, delay, expense or
   liability incurred by, or levied upon, the Carrier or the Cargo

   Regulations which result from, the late presentation of, or
