Such rebate payments shall be made by Parkdale within seven (7) days of the end of each month.
8. Purchase Orders. All sales of Yarn produced for Delta in accordance with this Agreement will be made pursuant to purchase orders submitted by Delta from time to time, the terms of which shall be controlled by the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether such purchase orders reference this Agreement.

Neither party shall, under any circumstances, be liable for loss of profits or any other indirect or consequential damages except in the case of gross negligence or gross misconduct.
10. Confidentiality.
(a) This Agreement, the terms herof, and all information furnished or to be furnished by Delta to Parkdale or by Parkdale to Delta in connection with and during the Term of this Agreement shall be kept confidential by the party receiving said information, except for purposes authorized by this Agreement, and neither party shall disclose such information to any person or firm unless previously authorized in writing by the other party to do so; provided, however, that the party receiving such information may disclose the same to its responsible officers and employees who require the information for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, provided that such officers and employees are made aware of, and agree to be bound by, the provisions of this Section. Any other provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that each party's obligations of confidentiality and nondisclosure herein assumed shall not apply to any information which (i) such party can demonstrate was already lawfully in its possession prior to the disclosure thereof by the other party, (ii) became known to the public through no fault of such party, (iii) is later lawfully acquired by such party from other sources without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by applicable law or legal process. In the event that disclosure is required pursuant to legal process, (a) the receiving party shall provide the other party with prompt notice of such requirement so the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement; (b) in the event that a protective order or other remedy is obtained, the ·receiving party shall use all reasonable efforts to assure that all information disclosed shall be covered by such order or other remedy; and (c) whether or not such protective order or other remedy is obtained or the other party waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the receiving party will disclose only that portion of the information which it is legally required to disclose.
(b) The provisions of this SECTION 10 shall remain in force for a period of two (2) years following the termination of this Agreement, except with respect to any information that constitutes a trade secret, the protection of which shall be unlimited in duration.
(c) The parties acknowledge that breach of this SECTION 10 by either party may cause damage to the other party which could not be adequately compensated by a monetary award. Accordingly, such other party shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy available to it, to an injunction restraining such breach or any threatened breach and to specific performance of every provision of this SECTION 10 and, in any such case, no security shall be required to be posted in connection with such injunction.
11. Force Majeure.
(a) Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages resulting from any failure to perform its obligations hereunder if such failure is due to any of the following: strikes, lockouts, concerted acts of workmen or other industrial disturbances, fires, explosions, floods or other natural catastrophes, civil disturbance, riots or armed conflict whether declared or undeclared, curtailment, shortage, rationing or allocation of normal sources of supply of labor, materials, transportation, energy or utilities, accidents, acts of God, delays of subcontractors or vendors, sufferance of or voluntary compliance with acts of government and government regulations (whether valid or invalid), embargoes, or any other similar or dissimilar cause, any of which is beyond the reasonable control of the party affected and which makes performance commercially impracticable.
(b) Neither party shall be required to make any concession or grant any demand or request to bring to an end any strike or other concerted act of workmen.
(c) Either party affected by an event described in SECTION 11(a) shall promptly, upon learning of such event and ascertaining that it has affected or will affect that party's performance under this Agreement, give notice to the other party, stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to amend or minimize its effect, and such party will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of such event on the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
(d) If any event described in SECTION ll(a) partially reduces Parkdale's ability to produce or deliver Yarn, then Parkdale may prorate its available supply amongst Delta and Parkdale's other customers in a fair and equitable manner. If any event described in SECTION ll(a) partially or wholly reduces Parkdale's ability to produce or deliver Yarn, Delta shall be entitled to purchase Yarn from alternative sources of supply and, if such inability to produce or deliver Yarn persists in excess of sixty (60) days, Delta shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Parkdale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Delta may terminate this Agreement forthwith upon notice to Parkdale, with no additional cure rights for Parkdale, if Parkdale fails for any reason whatsoever to deliver Yarn in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement on more than two (2) occasions in any one (1) calendar year.
(b) Delta may terminate this Agreement forthwith upon notice to Parkdale if Xxxx Xxxxxxx is no longer actively involved in the operation of Parkdale.

For each quarter during the term of this Agreement, Delta shall prior to the respective dates set forth below (i) deliver fixation orders to Parkdale in writing for cotton at a price per pound or a range of acceptable prices per pound for the applicable NY Futures Cover Month and in multiples of 100 xxxxx or (ii) transfer to a brokerage account of Parkdale an equivalent number of NYBOT Cotton Futures. In the event that Delta fails to exercise its right to fix the price of cotton for any quarter prior to the respective date set forth below, Parkdale shall have the right to fix the cotton price for that quarter. If Delta fails to fix the price of cotton for any quarter in quantities that are sufficient for Parkdale to fulfill the purchase orders for Yarn issued by Delta for delivery during that quarter, the applicable Cost Price for such excess Yarn shall be equal to the cost fixed by Parkdale, if Parkdale manufactures such excess Yarn from cotton delivered to it pursuant to futures contracts, or Parkdale's cost to obtain cotton in the spot market, if Parkdale manufacturers such excess Yarn from cotton purchased by it in the spot market.
