delays caused by such force majeure condition. If a Party is delayed due to force majeure,

INCENTIVE AGREEMENT FOR NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Page 9
default is not able to be cured within such 30-day period, Company shall be permitted
additional time to effectuate such cure, provided, that in no event shall the Cure Period
exceed 60 days from the date of notice from the EDC. Should the EDC fail to timely, fully
and completely comply with any one or more of its obligations under this Agreement,

covenant or condition of this Agreement, constitutes a waiver of any subsequent breach
of the covenant or condition of this Agreement. No waiver of any covenant or condition,
or the breach of any covenant or condition of this Agreement, justifies or authorizes the
nonobservance on any other occasion of the covenant or condition or any other covenant
or condition of this Agreement. Any waiver or indulgence of Company's default may not
be considered an estoppel against the EDC. It is expressly understood that if at any time
Company is in default in any of its conditions or covenants of this Agreement, the failure
on the part of the EDC to promptly avail itself of the rights and remedies that the EDC
may have, will not be considered a waiver on the part of the EDC, but the EDC may at
any time avail itself of the rights or remedies or elect to terminate this Agreement on
account of the default.
8.11. Limitation of Remedies. Company specifically agrees that the EDC shall
not be liable to Company for any actual or consequential damages, direct or indirect,
