If such default is not cured within such period, then the other party shall have the right without further notice to terminate this agreement. Buyer shall have the right to cancel for default all or any part of the undelivered portion of this order if Seller breaches any of the terms hereof including warranties of Seller or if the Seller becomes insolvent or commits acts of bankruptcy. Such right of cancellation is in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies which Buyer may have in law or equity.
The performance of work under this order may be terminated in whole or in part by the Buyer in accordance with this provision. Termination of work hereunder shall be affected by the delivery to the Seller of a Notice of Termination specifying the extent to which performance of work under the order is terminated and the date upon which such termination becomes effective.

If by reason of Force Majeure, either party hereto shall be rendered unable wholly or in part to carry out its obligations under this Agreement then such party shall give notice and full particulars of Force Majeure in writing to the other party within a reasonable time after occurrence of the event or cause relied upon, and the obligation of the party giving such notice, so far as it is affected by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of the inability then claimed, except as hereinafter provided, but for no longer period, and such party shall endeavor to remove or overcome such inability with all reasonable dispatch.

If this Force Majeure clause is invoked due to a material price increase that renders the Seller's performance impracticable, the contract price will be increased the minimum amount necessary for the Seller to avoid actual economic loss. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes and lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the party having the difficulty and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes and lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or parties when such settlement is unfavorable in the judgment of the party having the difficulty.
No right or interest in this contract shall be assigned or delegation of any obligation made by Seller without the written permission of the Buyer. Any attempted assignment of delegation by Seller shall be wholly void and totally ineffective for all purposes unless made in conformity with this paragraph.

This contract can be modified or rescinded only by a writing signed by both of the parties or their duly authorized agents.
This writing is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and is intended also as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement. No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage of the trade shall be relevant to supplement or explain any term used in this agreement. Acceptance or acquiescence in a course of performance rendered under this agreement shall not be relevant to determine the meaning of this agreement even though the accepting or acquiescing party has knowledge of the performance and opportunity for objection. Whenever a term defined by the Uniform Commercial Code is used in this agreement, the definition contained in the Code is to control.
This agreement shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code. Wherever the term AUniform Commercial Code@ is used, it shall be construed as meaning the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of Texas as effective and in force in the date of this agreement.
Seller shall not advertise or publish, without Buyer's prior consent, the fact that Buyer has entered this contract, except to the extent necessary to comply with proper requests for information from an authorized representative of the federal, state, or local government.

If a demand is made, and no assurance is given within five (5) days, the demanding party may treat this failure as an anticipatory repudiation of the contract.
