(d)Failure on the part of the Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of the Issuing Bank’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 3.8 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless the Issuing Bank shall have notified the Account Party in writing that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above and such notice shall have been provided not more than 90 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have become aware of such costs or reductions.
