               the day after receipt of written notice specifying the breach and
               stating that a failure to remedy the breach may give rise to

          receipt of such notice of change of control from Uproar, TI may
          terminate this Agreement by written notice to Uproar, termination to
          take effect one hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt of such

          another party of any provision of this Agreement or to pursue any
          remedy resulting from a breach of this Agreement by another party
          shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to thereafter require
          performance of each and every provision of this Agreement nor as a
          waiver of that or any subsequent or other breach by that party,

          of whom such waiver is claimed.

     21.4 Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the term of this

     21.5 If any provision of this Agreement should be held invalid or
          unenforceable for any reason whatsoever or to violate any law of any
          applicable jurisdiction, such provision shall be enforced to the
          maximum extent legally permissible so as to effect the intent of the
          parties unless it is found to be wholly invalid and thus must be
          considered severed from such provision, and such provision shall be
          deemed deleted from this Agreement in such jurisdiction or, in the
          event that it should be held only to violate the laws of any
          applicable jurisdiction, such provision shall be inapplicable only
          within such jurisdiction, and the remainder of this Agreement shall be
          valid and binding upon the parties as if such provision was not
          included herein.

     21.6 Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to
          perform their obligations hereunder due to causes beyond its
          reasonable control which such party is unable to overcome by the
          exercise of reasonable due diligence. Performance times shall be
          considered extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost
          because of any such delay. When the force majeure cause has been
          eliminated or has been waived by the party claiming the benefit of
          such cause, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
