Such circumstances shall include, but shall not be limited to, war, insurrection, general strikes, governmental actions, earthquakes, floods or fires. The Party wishing to invoke Force Majeure shall notify the other Party, as soon as feasible, that such an event has occurred and shall use all possible efforts (to the extent within its ability and control) to resume performance of its obligations hereunder as soon as possible and in any event immediately after the Force Majeure event has ceased.

8.2 Any termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights or liabilities of either Party accrued under this Agreement at the date of termination or in respect of any antecedent breach of the terms hereof prior to termination or any amount owing, due or payable under this Agreement.
