17.10 Force Majeure. Any delay or failure of either Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be excused to the extent that the delay or failure was caused directly by an event beyond such Party's control, without such Party's fault or negligence and that by its nature could not have been foreseen by such Party or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable (which events may include natural disasters, embargoes, explosions, riots, wars or acts of terrorism) (each, a "Force Majeure Event"). ITC's financial inability to perform, changes in cost or availability of materials, components or services, market conditions or supplier actions or contract disputes will not excuse performance by ITC under this Section. ITC shall give ABWN prompt written notice of any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in a Force Majeure Event, and the anticipated duration of such Force Majeure Event. ITC shall use all diligent efforts to end the Force Majeure Event, ensure that the effects of any Force Majeure Event are minimized and resume full performance under this Agreement.
17.11 Survivability. The rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 6, Section 9, Section 14, Section 15, Section 17, and Section 17.8, and any right or obligation of the parties in this Agreement which, by its nature, should survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, will survive any such termination or expiration of this Agreement.
