Consequences of Force Majeure Subject to clauses 24.4, 24.5 and 24.6, if by reason of a Force Majeure Event a Party (Affected Party) is affected in the performance of any obligation or clause under this Agreement:
(a) that Party will be excused during the time, and to the extent that, such performance is so affected; and
(b) that Party will not, to that extent, be liable to the other Party for any Damage of any kind arising out of, or in any way connected with, that non-performance.
Event of Force Majeure The Recipient will not be in default by reason only of any failure in the performance of the Project in accordance with Schedule 1 – Statement of Work if such failure arises without the fault or negligence of the Recipient and is caused by any event of Force Majeure.
Events of Force Majeure Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under, or in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or delaying. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure is defined as causes beyond the control of the Party, including, without limitation, acts of God; acts, regulations, or laws of any government; war; civil commotion; destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, flood, earthquake, explosion or storm; labor disturbances; epidemic; and failure of public utilities or common carriers. In such event Medistem or Licensee, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled and the 30 days thereafter. To the extent possible, each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure.
Notification of Force Majeure Event 11.5.1 The Affected Party shall give notice to the other Party of any event of Force Majeure as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than seven (7) days after the date on which such Party knew or should reasonably have known of the commencement of the event of Force Majeure. If an event of Force Majeure results in a breakdown of communications rendering it unreasonable to give notice within the applicable time limit specified herein, then the Party claiming Force Majeure shall give such notice as soon as reasonably practicable after reinstatement of communications, but not later than one (1) day after such reinstatement. Provided that, such notice shall be a pre-condition to the Affected Party’s entitlement to claim relief under this Agreement. Such notice shall include full particulars of the event of Force Majeure, its effects on the Party claiming relief and the remedial measures proposed. The Affected Party shall give the other Party regular reports on the progress of those remedial measures and such other information as the other Party may reasonably request about the Force Majeure.
11.5.2 The Affected Party shall give notice to the other Party of (i) the cessation of the relevant event of Force Majeure; and (ii) the cessation of the effects of such event of Force Majeure on the performance of its rights or obligations/ roles under this Agreement, as soon as practicable after becoming aware of each of these cessations.
Effect of Force Majeure Event If either party to this contract cannot meet an obligation under this contract because of an event outside the control of that party (‘a force majeure event’):
(a) the obligation, other than an obligation to pay money, is suspended to the extent it is affected by the force majeure event for as long as the force majeure event continues; and
(b) the affected party must use its best endeavours to give the other party prompt notice of that fact including full particulars of the event, an estimate of its likely duration, the extent to which the affected party’s obligations are affected and the steps being taken to remove, overcome or minimise those effects.
Consequences of Event of Default (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company will promptly deliver written notice thereof to the Holder. If one or more Events of Default will have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it will be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 2.4(g) or Section 2.4(h) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), unless the principal of this Note will have already become due and payable, the Holder may, by notice in writing to the Company, declare 100% of the outstanding principal of this Note to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same will become and will automatically be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 2.4(g) or Section 2.4(h) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100% of the outstanding principal of this Note will become and will automatically be immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Holder.
(b) Subsection (a) above, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the outstanding principal of this Note will have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due will have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company will pay or will deposit with the Holder a sum sufficient to pay the outstanding principal of this Note that will have become due otherwise than by acceleration, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Note, other than the nonpayment of the principal on this Note that will have become due solely by such acceleration, will have been cured or waived, then and in every such case the Holder, by written notice to the Company, may waive all defaults or Events of Default with respect to this Note and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Note; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment will extend to or will affect any subsequent Event of Default, or will impair any right consequent thereon.
Definition of Force Majeure For the purposes of this section, an event of force majeure shall mean any cause beyond the control of the affected Interconnection Party or Construction Party, including but not restricted to, acts of God, flood, drought, earthquake, storm, fire, lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, labor dispute, labor or material shortage, sabotage, acts of public enemy, explosions, orders, regulations or restrictions imposed by governmental, military, or lawfully established civilian authorities, which, in any of the foregoing cases, by exercise of due diligence such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, and which, by the exercise of due diligence, it has been unable to overcome. Force majeure does not include (i) a failure of performance that is due to an affected party’s own negligence or intentional wrongdoing; (ii) any removable or remediable causes (other than settlement of a strike or labor dispute) which an affected party fails to remove or remedy within a reasonable time; or (iii) economic hardship of an affected party.

e) The non-performance of any obligation of either Party that was required to be performed prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Act shall not be excused as a result of such subsequent Force Majeure Act,
f) The occurrence of a Force Majeure Act shall not relieve either Party from its obligations to make any payment hereunder for performance rendered prior to the occurrence of Force Majeure Act or for partial performance hereunder during period of subsistence Force Majeure Act; and
g) The Force Majeure Act, shall not relieve either Party from its obligation to comply with Applicable Laws. The Affected Party shall exercise all reasonable efforts to mitigate or limit damages to the other Party.

An Interconnection Party shall be excused from whatever performance is affected only for the duration of the Force Majeure and while the Interconnection Party exercises Reasonable Efforts to alleviate such situation. As soon as the non-performing Interconnection Party is able to resume performance of its obligations excused because of the occurrence of Force Majeure, such Interconnection Party shall resume performance and give prompt notice thereof to the other parties.
