Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Force Majeure Event shall not excuse a Party from any payment obligations.

The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within […​…] after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect.

Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such party’s (the “Impacted Party”) failure or delay is caused by or results from the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)”): acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, epidemic, pandemic, explosion, war, terrorism, riot, government order or action. The Impacted Party shall give notice to the other Party as soon as practicable, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. The Impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. The Impacted Party shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the other Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the Impacted Party’s nonperformance continues for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days.

Force majeure. No Party shall be liable for the failure to carry out its obligations hereunder in the event that it is prevented from doing so by an event of force majeure being an event which is, or the consequences of which are, beyond the reasonable control of the Parties including strikes, riots, fires, typhoon, labor disturbances, insurrection, war, terrorism, acts of civil or military authorities, failures of carriers, acts of God or public enemy. In the event of force majeure, the obligations under this Agreement of the Party affected by the force majeure shall be suspended for as long as the force majeure continues and to the extent which the force majeure affects the Party’s obligations.

If a Party is prevented from performing its obligations hereunder (other than the obligation to pay money that has come due pursuant to this Agreement) solely as a result of a strike, riot, war, invasion, act of God, fire, explosion, flood, act of government agency or instrumentality, judicial action, or similar event or condition, in each case which is outside the reasonable control of such party and which did not exist and was not reasonably foreseeable as of the date hereof (a “Force Majeure”), such Party’s performance hereunder will be temporarily excused as provided in this Section, only by the degree affected and after such Party has taken (and so long as such Party continues to take) all reasonable action to avoid being so affected; provided, that such party delivers to the other party written notice promptly upon learning of such event or condition, which notice shall include a detailed description of the event or condition and the anticipated effect on such Party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, as well as a reasonably detailed description of specific actions such Party plans to take to resume full performance hereunder.

Neither party shall be in breach of this Agreement or otherwise be responsible for any delay or other failure in performing its obligations hereunder if such breach, delay or other failure is directly caused by a Force Majeure Event.
