The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply to damages which have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Delek Group Indemnified Person in connection with any Services, actions or inactions.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(a), Delek Group shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) in any way due to, resulting from or arising in connection with any of the Services or the performance of or failure to perform Delek Group’s obligations under this Agreement.

11. Confidential Information. The parties hereby covenant and agree to hold in trust and maintain confidential all information marked as confidential by the disclosing party or that should otherwise be reasonably understood as confidential by the receiving party.
12. No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto or constitute or be deemed to constitute any party the agent or employee of the other party for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party shall have the authority or power to bind the other or to contract in the name of, or create a liability against, the other in any way or for any purpose.
13. Subcontractors. Delek Group may hire or engage one or more subcontractors to perform all or any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that (subject to Section 6) Delek Group shall in all cases remain primarily responsible for all obligations undertaken by it herein.
14. Force Majeure.
(a) For purposes of this Section, “Force Majeure” means an event beyond the control of either party, which by its nature could not have been foreseen by such party, or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable, and includes without limitation, acts of God, storms, floods, riots, fires, sabotage, civil commotion or civil unrest, terrorism, interference by civil or military authorities, acts of war (declared or undeclared) and failure of energy sources.
(b) Delek Group shall be under no liability for failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered, or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. However, Delek Group must exercise commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of Force Majeure on its obligations hereunder.
(c) Promptly upon becoming aware of Force Majeure causing a delay in performance or preventing performance of any obligations imposed by this Agreement (and the termination of such delay), the party affected shall give written notice to the other party giving details of the same, including particulars of the actual and, if applicable, estimated continuing effects of such Force Majeure on the obligations of the party whose performance is prevented or delayed. If such notice shall have been duly given, any actual delay resulting from such Force Majeure shall be deemed not to be a breach of this Agreement, and the period for performance of the obligation to which it relates shall be extended accordingly. However, if the Force Majeure results in the performance of a party being delayed by more than sixty (60) days, the other party shall have the right to terminate the Agreement with respect to all Services affected by such delay forthwith by written notice.
16. Information. Delek US agrees to provide Delek Group with reasonable access to all information Delek Group reasonably deems necessary to provide its Services hereunder.

17. Notices. All notices and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when received by signature or confirmed facsimile receipt.
18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be found invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not render the entire Agreement invalid. Rather, the Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the particular invalid or unenforceable provision, and the rights and obligations of each party shall be construed and enforced accordingly.
