Should the Symposium be so cancelled or limited for reasons of safety beyond ATA's reasonable control, failure by ATA to perform further obligations relative to the Symposium will not be considered a breach of any contract to hold such Symposium. ATA cannot, in any event, assume responsibility for any loss, cost or damage resulting from such extraordinary circumstances, or any subsequent cancellation or limitation of the Symposium.
