• fair calling of the bond by the buyer because contract performance has become impossible due to embargo measures taken by the Federal Republic of Germany;

• unfair calling of the bond due to other circumstances which make the claim to reimbursement of the guaranteed sum unenforceable for political or commercial reasons
