If a Party (the “Affected Party”) is unable to carry out any of its obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure, this Agreement shall remain in effect but the Affected Party’s relevant obligations under this Agreement and the corresponding obligations of the other Party (“Non-Affected Party”) under this Agreement shall be suspended for a period equal to the circumstance of Force Majeure; provided that:

In the event that the affected party is delayed in or prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement by Force Majeure, only within the scope of such delay or prevention, the affected party will not be responsible for any damage by reason of such a failure or delay of performance. The affected party shall take appropriate means to minimize or remove the effects of Force Majeure and attempt to resume performance of the obligations delayed or prevented by the event of Force Majeure. After the event of Force Majeure is removed, both parties agree to resume performance of this Agreement with their best efforts.
