It is understood that in this case FENCO shall pay the VENDOR the amount due corresponding to the SUPPLY already delivered and accepted by FENCO, at the date of termination, to the exclusion of any other indemnification. In the event of such termination, the VENDOR shall make available to FENCO all the documents used for the execution of the SUPPLY, as per article 22.3 and, subject to FENCO's request, shall transfer to FENCO all its rights arising from the subcontracts and/sub-PURCHASE ORDERS entered into by the VENDOR as provided for under the above-mentioned article 22.3.
如果不可抗力事件自受影响的一方根据以上26.2条发出通知之日起持续超过90天，且如果双方在此期间未就采取的措施达成协议，则FENCO公司可终止全部或部分采购定单。在此种情况下，FENCO公司应就供应商截止终止日已交付的并为FENCO公司接受的供应品，向供应商支付相应的款项，但FENCO公不支付任何其他的赔偿。在此种终止采购定单的情况下，供应商应如同以上22.3条规定的那样，让FENCO公司可以获得用于执行采购定单的所有文件，并应根据FENCO公司的请求，依照以上22.3条规定，将供应商签订分包合同和/或分采购定单而产生的权利转移给FENCO公司。
