10


10.3

Failure of any Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part, as a result of a Force Majeure Event as described in Section 10.1 shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, and the performance of such obligations will suspend during the Force Majeure Event until resolved. The Parties shall immediately resume performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement upon resolution of the Force Majeure Event. Where the Force Majeure Event or its impact lasts for 60 days or more, any Party may terminate this Agreement by sending notice of such termination to the other Parties in writing.

11


11.3

No failure of any Party to exercise, and no delay by it in exercising, any right, power or remedy in connection with this Agreement (each a “Right”) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any Right preclude any other or further exercise of such Right or exercise of any other Right. The Rights provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other Rights (whether provided by law or otherwise). Any express waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach.
