IG -6891 XXI. FORCE MAJEURE Neither party will incur any liability to the other if its performance of any obligation under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by causes beyond its control and without the fault or negligence of either party. Causes beyond a party's control may include, but are not limited to, acts of God or war, changes in controlling law, regulations, orders or the requirements of any governmental entity, natural disasters, fire, epidemics and quarantines. Both parties shall notify each other orally within five (5) days and in writing within ten (10) days of the date on which the party becomes aware, or should have reasonably become aware, that such cause would prevent or delay its performance. Such notification shall (i) describe fully such cause(s) and its effect on performance, (ii) state whether performance under the Agreement is prevented or delayed and (iii) if performance is delayed, state a reasonable estimate of the duration of the delay. The party claiming force majeure shall have the burden of proving that such cause(s) delayed or prevented its performance despite its diligent efforts to perform and shall produce such supporting documentation as the other party may reasonably request. After receipt of such notification, the party not claiming force majeure may elect either to terminate the agreement or to extend the time for performance as reasonably necessary to compensate for the delay. XXII. SEVERABILITY The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any term or provision is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the Agreement.
