No waiver of any right of a Party under this Contract will be effective
unless evidenced by an instrument in writing duly executed by such Party. No

its rights hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof (for the avoidance of

enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Contract shall not be
impaired. The Parties shall use their best reasonable efforts to substitute such
invalid or unenforceable provision with a suitable and equitable provision that
serves the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision. If the
exclusion of a provision of this Contract results in the inability of the
Parties to achieve the material objectives of this Contract, the Parties will
negotiate in good faith to amend or terminate this Contract on mutually
acceptable terms.

agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written

objective conditions (such conditions include but shall not be limited to

this Contract, such performance shall be suspended during the period of delay
caused by the Force Majeure and shall be extended, without penalty, for a period
equal to such suspension. The Party claiming Force Majeure shall promptly inform
the other Party in writing and shall, within seven (7) Business Days of the
occurrence of the event of Force Majeure, or in the event of communication
disruption, within seven (7) Business Days upon the restoration of the
communication facilities, furnish the other Party by fax and by express-mail
with sufficient detailed information regarding the event of Force Majeure and
shall provide proof of the occurrence and duration of such Force Majeure.
If such Party claiming Force Majeure fails to notify the other Party and
furnish it with proof pursuant to the above provision, such Party shall not be
excused from the non-performance of its obligations hereunder. The Party so
affected by the event of Force Majeure shall use the reasonable efforts to
minimize the consequences of such Force Majeure and to promptly resume
performance hereunder whenever the causes of such excuse are cured. Should the
Party so affected by the event of Force Majeure fail to resume performance
hereunder when the causes of such excuse are cured, such Party shall be liable
to the other Party.
In the event of Force Majeure, the Parties shall immediately consult with
each other in order to find an equitable solution and shall use all reasonable
endeavours to minimize the consequences of such Force Majeure.
