KnowAtom and Purchaser intend that only KnowAtom and Purchaser will benefit from, and are entitled to enforce the provisions of, this Agreement and that no third party beneficiary is intended under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no modification to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights, will be effective unless assented to in writing by the party to be charged and the waiver of any breach or default will not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder or any subsequent breach or default. Any required notices hereunder will be given in writing at the address of each party set forth above, or to such other address as either party may substitute by written notice to the other in the manner contemplated herein, and will be deemed served when delivered or, if delivery is not accomplished by reason or some fault of the addressee, when tendered. This Agreement constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the supply of Materials by KnowAtom to Purchaser, and supersedes and cancels all previous agreements, commitments and writings in respect thereof. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that no such severability will be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to either KnowAtom or Purchaser.
