11.5                                Force Majeure.

 

No Party shall be liable for any failure to perform or any delays in performance, and no Party shall be deemed to be in breach or default of its obligations set forth in this Agreement, if, to the extent and for so long as, such failure or delay is due to any causes that are beyond its reasonable control and not to its acts or omissions, including, without limitation, such causes as acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, severe storm, earthquake, civil disturbance, lockout, riot, order of any court or administrative body, embargo, acts of government, war (whether or not declared), acts of terrorism, or other similar causes (“Force Majeure Event”).

If and solely to the extent that any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable in a final non-appealable order, such unenforceable provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. In such event, the Parties shall in good faith attempt to replace any unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a provision that is enforceable and that comes as close as possible to expressing the intention of the original provision.

 

11.7                                Non-Waiver; Remedies.

 

A waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement in any instance shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition for the future, or of any subsequent breach thereof.
