overcome within [ * ] (or such other period as the Parties jointly shall determine) from the date the Party affected first became affected, then the non-prevented Party may at any time after the expiration of such period, by written notice to the other Party, either (i) suspend this Agreement, in whole or in part, for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues to exist, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, with immediate effect.
16.4 | Precedence of Agreement. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the terms outlined in this Agreement shall prevail over any terms and conditions outlined in any Order or Order Confirmation for Product and any general terms and conditions of a Party, and such terms and conditions are hereby expressly excluded.

16.5 | No assignment. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.

16.6 | No waiver.

however, if the deletion of such provision materially impairs the commercial value of this Agreement to either Party, the Parties shall attempt to renegotiate such provision in good faith. The fact that any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties to this Agreement waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
16.10 | Notices. Any notice required under this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and (i) delivered in person or (ii) deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iii) sent by registered mail or (iv) dispatched by e-mail (pdf), in which case such notice is to be confirmed by registered mail within [ * ]; in either case any notice is to be addressed to the applicable address set forth below or any other address as designated by either Party. |
