DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, BUYER shall be deemed to be in default: (a) BUYER fails to make payment by the date such payment is due under the Agreement, (b) BUYER commits a material breach of a nonmonetary obligation and such failure remains uncured for a period of ten (10) business days following a written demand by B&W for a cure; or (c) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event (as defined below).

If B&W suspends performance and withholds a Product delivery as permitted above, B&W may sell the Product to a third party.

The foregoing rights shall be cumulative in addition to any other rights or remedies to which B&W may be entitled at Law or in equity.

B&W will not be obligated to settle any demands of, or disputes with, laborers; nor will BUYER be excused from paying monies due to complying with B&W’s credit terms. Quantities affected by force majeure will be deleted from the Agreement, but this Agreement will otherwise continue in full force and effect. In periods of shortage of Product due to force majeure, B&W may apportion any reduced quantity of Product among itself and its customers and affiliates in an equitable manner.

Shortages: If for any reason shortages occur in B&W’s supply of the goods or materials necessary to produce Product, B&W may, without obligation to BUYER, obtain similar supply of goods and materials from other sources and allocate all Products produced therefrom among its customers, its own requirements and the requirements of its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates, in a manner and amount that is fair and reasonable. B&W may deduct the quantity not shipped because of this allocation from the quantity under the Agreement without liability to BUYER for failure to deliver. 13. CONFIDENTIALITY.
