An obstacle resulting from personal circumstances of the obligor, or which does not come into existence until the obligor is already in default on the performance of an agreed obligation, or an obstacle that the obligor is obliged to overcome, shall not release the Party from its responsibility to perform the respective obligation.
11.3. A Party that has violated, violates or is expected, in light of all known facts, to violate any of its obligations under the Purchase Contract as a result of a force majeure event is obliged to immediately inform the other Party about such a violation or event, and to exert every effort to avert such an event or its consequences and to eliminate them.

12.2. The Supplier shall be entitled to compensation for damage caused by failure to pay a monetary debt, even if it is covered by default interest. The contractual penalty clause pursuant to Article 12.1 hereof is without prejudice to the right to damages arising from a breach of the obligation to pay the Purchase Price, and the Parties hereby expressly exclude the application of Section 2050 of the Civil Code.
12.3. Pursuant to Section 1806 of the Civil Code, the Parties hereby expressly agree to interest on default interest.
