Excuse for Nonperformance or Delayed Performance Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors, Contractor/Vendor shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure by Contractor/Vendor to make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder which endangers such performance) if Contractor/Vendor has notified the Commission or designee within 15 days after the cause of the delay and the failure arises out of causes such as: acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of the State and any other governmental entity in its sovereign or contractual capacity; fires; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes or other labor disputes; freight embargoes; or unusually severe weather. If the failure to perform is caused by the failure of a subcontractor to perform or to make progress, and if such failure arises out of causes similar to those set forth above, Contractor/Vendor shall not be deemed to be in default, unless the services to be furnished by the subcontractor were reasonably obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit Contractor to meet the contract requirements. Upon request of Contractor, the Commission or designee shall ascertain the facts and extent of such failure, and, if such officer determines that any failure to perform was occasioned by any one or more of the excusable causes, and that, but for the excusable cause, Contractor’s progress and performance would have met the terms of the contract, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, subject to the rights of the State under the clause entitled (in fixed-price contracts, “Termination for Convenience,” in cost-reimbursement contracts, “Termination”). (As used in this Paragraph of this clause, the term “subcontractor” means subcontractor at any tier).

(a) the suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the Force Majeure Event;
(b) the Affected Party shall make all reasonable efforts to mitigate or limit damage to the other Party arising out of or as a result of the existence or occurrence of such Force Majeure Event and to cure the same with due diligence; and
(c) when the Affected Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement, it shall give to the other Party notice to that effect and shall promptly resume performance of its obligations hereunder.

Without limiting Section 11.09, in no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by or to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including any Debt Financing, or any other financing transaction be a condition to any of the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder, including to consummate the Transactions hereunder.

Except as specifically set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of any Financing Sources to fund the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and there are no contingencies pursuant to any Contract, agreement or other understanding relating to the transactions contemplated hereby to which the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party that would permit the Financing Sources to reduce the total amount of the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or impose any additional condition precedent that would adversely affect, prevent or delay the availability of the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified (and no such amendment or modification is contemplated as of the date of this Agreement) and the commitments set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect (and no such withdrawal or rescission is contemplated as of the date of this Agreement). No event has occurred, and the Purchaser has not received any notice or other communication from any other party to the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to the occurrence of any event, which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or could reasonably be expected to result in any breach by the Purchaser of, or constitute a default by the Purchaser under, any term or condition to closing of the Debt Commitment Letter, and as of the date hereof, to the Knowledge of the Purchaser, no other party to the Debt Commitment Letter is in breach of the Debt Commitment Letter. The Purchaser (i) is not aware of any fact or occurrence that makes any of the representations or warranties of the Purchaser in the Debt Commitment Letter inaccurate in any material respect, (ii) has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it or its Affiliates contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and (iii) has no reason to believe that any portion of the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby will not be made available to the Purchaser on the Closing Date. The Purchaser has fully paid any and all commitment fees and other fees required by the Debt Commitment Letter to be paid as of the date of this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement must be in a form acceptable to any Financing Source(s), such Financing Source(s) have approved this Agreement.
