the Parties, or by any third Person, to create a partnership, joint venture or
similar relationship between or among any of the Parties and, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no Party shall be deemed to be the agent of
any other Party. No Party has, and shall not hold itself out as having, any
authority to enter into any contract or create any obligation or liability on
behalf of, in the name of, or binding upon any other Party except as specifi-
cally provided herein.
(c) Force Majeure. Each Party shall be excused from the performance of
--------------
obligations (other than payment obligations) under this Agreement, for any
period and to the extent that it is prevented, restricted or delayed from or
interfered with in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, in
whole or in part, as a result of labor disputes, strikes, work stoppages or
delays, acts of God, severe weather, failures or fluctuations in utilities or
telecommunications equipment or service, shortages of materials or rationing,
civil disturbance, acts of public enemies, blockade, embargo or any law, order,
proclamation, regulation, ordinance or court order or requirement having legal
effect of any judicial authority or Governmental Body, or any other act or
omission whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, which are
beyond the reasonable control of such Party (each, a "Force Majeure Event"), and
such nonperformance shall not be a breach or default under this Agreement, or a
ground for termination of this Agreement. Each Party shall give the other
Parties prompt notice of any Force Majeure Event affecting the notifying Party's
ability to perform under this Agreement and shall promptly update the other
Parties regarding the notifying Party's efforts to mitigate and resolve such
Force Majeure Event.
(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto and
-----------------
the provisions of Articles 7 and 11 the Operations Agreement, which WU
acknowledges it has reviewed and understands, constitutes the entire agreement
among the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
other prior agreements, understandings or

representations, warranties, understandings or agreements (written or oral)
relative to the subject matter hereof which are not expressly set forth herein.

obligations of both WU and Licensee under this Agreement are personal and not
assignable, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written
consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) WU may assign all
its rights and delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate,
provided such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of WU after such an assignment and
that notwithstanding such assignment WU shall remain primarily liable for all of
its obligations hereunder, and (ii) Licensee may assign all its rights and
delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any Person who purchases
substantially all of the Business, provided the assignee agrees to be bound in
--------
writing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and,
notwithstanding such assignment, Licensee shall remain primarily liable for all
of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall
extend to and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their
respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this
Agreement is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other

assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be
a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this
Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce
each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall
be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as
specifically provided otherwise, all remedies provided for in this Agreement
shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies
available to any Party at law, in equity or otherwise.
(k) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be
------------
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any
reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other
provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.
