Changes in Buyer's Financial Condition: FRPD reserves the right by written notice to cancel any order or to require full or partial payment or adequate assurance of performance from the Buyer without liability to FRPD in the event of (i) the insolvency of the Buyer, (ii) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by the Buyer, (iii) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Buyer, or (iv) the execution by the Buyer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Changes or Cancellation: FRPD may accept the Buyer's request to change the specifications or processing of the goods, but shall reserve the right to charge the Buyer for all costs and services necessary for such changes. Orders for goods may not be cancelled and materials may not be returned by the Buyer except with the written consent of FRPD. Any changes shall be documented by way of a "change order" signed by both parties.

Delays or Force Majeure: FRPD will not be in default under this Agreement if its performance is prevented or materially hindered by events or causes beyond its reasonable control, provided that it gives the Buyer prompt notice thereof and uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid, terminate, or mitigate the effects of such events or causes. In the event any force majeure occurs, FRPD may, at its option, cancel the Customer's order, in which case FRPD shall be released from all obligations and liability for failure to deliver goods so ordered, or failure to provide services, including, but not limited to, any and all claims on behalf of the Customer for loss of profits or revenue, loss of use of the goods or any associated product, cost of capital, cost of substitute products, facilities or services, downtime costs, or claims of customs of the Buyer for such damage.
