Supplier shall maintain sufficient raw materials on hand to fabricate, finish and ship replacement materials promptly.

Supplier shall perform in an efficient and responsible manner in accordance with all deliverable dates required by NHF, and in accordance with any schedules accompanying the purchase order and/or proposal. Supplier shall notify NHF promptly if Supplier is unable to comply with applicable schedule and/or time requirements. If Supplier so notifies NHF, or if, in the opinion of NHF reasonably exercised, Supplier falls behind in its obligations, Supplier shall take appropriate action to improve its performance and shall submit to NHF a recovery plan. Supplier shall not be deemed responsible for delays caused by force majeure events, including without limitation, industry wide strikes, war or insurrection, hurricanes, earthquakes and the like. Supplier acknowledges, however, that if it fails to perform in accordance with applicable schedule/and or time requirements due to its own fault or the fault of parties for whom Supplier is responsible, Supplier shall be responsible for all costs and damages incurred by or assessed against NHF, including without limitation, the costs of expedited shipping, acceleration of production and/or procurement of alternate goods and services.

Nothing in the Agreement creates any contractual relationship between NHF and any subcontractor, nor any obligation on the part of NHF to pay any subcontractor. NHF’s approval of a subcontractor by NHF does not constitute a waiver of any rights hereunder.
  19. Governing Law. The Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania.
  20. Set-Off. NHF may set-off any amount owing at any time from Supplier to NHF against any amount payable at any time by NHF.
