Add new clauses in Section VI: 
T. 
Provisions Required By Law. 
Each and every provision of law and any clause required by law to be in this Agreement 
will be read and enforced as though it were included herein and, if through mistake or 
otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not correctly inserted, then upon the 
application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be physically amended to make 
such insertion or correction. 
 
U. 
Force Majeure. 
1. Neither Party shall be liable for failure of performance, nor incur any liability 
to the other Party on account of any loss or damage resulting from any delay 
or failure to perform all or any part of this Agreement if such delay or failure 
is caused by unforeseeable events, occurrences, or causes beyond the 
reasonable control and without negligence of the Parties. Such events, 
occurrences, or causes will include Acts of God/Nature (including fire, flood, 
earthquake, storm, hurricane, or other natural disaster), war, invasion, act of 
foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), civil war, riots,

3. The Party asserting Force Majeure as a cause for non-performance shall have 
the burden of proving that reasonable steps were taken to minimize delay or 
damages caused by foreseeable events, all non-excused obligations were 
substantially fulfilled, and the other Party was timely notified of the likelihood 
or actual occurrence that would justify such an assertion, so that other prudent 
precautions could be contemplated. 
 
Remaining Terms Unchanged. Except as modified in this Change Notice No. 03, all other 
terms and conditions of the Amended Contract shall remain unchanged.
