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.

If this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party's performance caused by a Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, no event of Force Majeure shall # excuse Tenant's obligations to pay Rent and other charges due pursuant to this Lease, # be grounds for Tenant to abate any portion of Rent due pursuant to this Lease, or entitle either party to terminate this Lease, except as allowed pursuant to Section 2.1 and Articles 11 and 13 of this Lease, or # excuse Tenant's obligations under Articles 5 and 24 of this Lease (but such obligations shall be subject to extension as needed due to Force Majeure).

Force Majeure. In the event Seller is wholly or partially prevented from providing all or any portion of the Transition Services, or if the provision of Transition Services is interrupted, restricted or suspended, in each case by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control, including (to the extent meeting the foregoing requirements) riots, epidemics, severe weather, fire, flood, war, acts of terrorism, acts of God, embargoes, work stoppages, labor disputes, strikes, boycott, shortage or unavailability of supplies, or Law (each a “Force Majeure Event”), Seller shall not be in default for any delay in performance or non-performance caused by such Force Majeure Event, and Seller’s obligation with respect to such performance shall be postponed or cancelled, as the case may be, for such time as its performance is prevented, restricted, interrupted or suspended as a result of such Force Majeure Event; provided that, in the event the Transition Services are not wholly and permanently prevented, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and shall resume performance hereunder promptly following the removal of such causes. As soon as reasonably practicable, Seller will give notice to upon learning of any Force Majeure Event affecting its obligations under this Agreement and its reasonable estimate of the expected duration of the associated delay. and the shall not be required to pay Fees for Transition Services that are not provided by Seller during the pendency of any Force Majeure Event; provided, however, that and the shall be required to pay Fees for Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance.

Should a Party (“affected Party”) be prevented from fulfilling any of its obligations in terms of this Agreement as a result of an event of Force Majeure, then:

Force Majeure. Except for monetary obligations hereunder, neither party will be responsible for delays resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of such party, including fire, explosion, flood, war, strike, or riot, provided that the nonperforming party uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and continues performance under this Agreement with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.

The parties shall not be liable for failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to: acts of God; failure or disruptions in third party- controlled or operated communications facilities, internet service providers; and/or worms, viruses and other disabling and/or disruptive software, communications and/or files.

Force Majeure. There are no events of force majeure being claimed under the Contract.

The respective obligations of a Party hereunder shall be suspended during the time and to the extent that such Party is prevented from complying therewith by a Force Majeure Event provided that such Party shall have given written notice thereof, specifying the nature and details of such event and the probable extent of the delay, to the other Party.

Force Majeure Definition. The expression “Force Majeure Event” shall be deemed to include any cause affecting the performance by either Party of the Agreement arising from or attributable to events beyond the reasonable control of the other Party, including, but not limited to, technical difficulties that delay or prevent manufacture, strike, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials or services, failure of power, restrictive government orders, decrees or guidelines, restrictive judicial orders or decrees, plague, epidemic, pandemic, riots, insurrection, war, Acts of God or inclement weather.

The party affected by the Force Majeure Event shall not therefore assume any liability hereunder. However, only where the affected party uses its reasonable best endeavor to perform this Agreement, may this party be waived of such performance obligation, and only within the scope of the part of performance being delayed or obstructed. Once the reasons for such waiver of responsibility are rectified and remedied, all the parties agree to use the best endeavors resume performance under this Agreement.
