However, notwithstanding Subsection 4 Clause Samples
The clause titled "However, notwithstanding Subsection 4" serves to establish an exception or override to the rules or requirements set out in Subsection 4 of the agreement. In practice, this means that even if Subsection 4 would normally apply to a situation, the terms following this clause will take precedence and govern instead. For example, if Subsection 4 restricts certain actions, this clause could allow those actions under specific circumstances. Its core function is to provide flexibility or carve out exceptions, ensuring that the agreement can address unique situations that require different treatment from the general rule.
However, notwithstanding Subsection 4. 5.1 (a) and (b), the Initial Term may be extended by the mutual agreement of Landlord and Franchisee, expressed in a written instrument signed by the authorized representatives of both parties.
