Excuse due to Force Majeure. Except as provided elsewhere herein, if a Aforce majeure@ makes performance of an obligation or cure of a breach or default impossible, such performance or cure is excused for the duration of the force majeure provided that the obligated party (i) within a reasonable time after the commencement of the force majeure notifies the other party of the nature of the force majeure, when it commenced, why it makes performance or cure impossible, and the expected duration (if known), and (ii) agrees to and does in fact diligently pursue remediation of the effects of the force majeure, and (iii) agrees to notify the other party immediately when it becomes possible to commence efforts to cure the default. A Aforce majeure@ is defined as (i) without the fault of and beyond the reasonable control of the obligated party, a war; insurrection; riot; flood; earthquake; fire; casualty; act of God; act of a public enemy; quarantine restriction or other effect of epidemic or disease; freight embargo; weather-caused delay; lack of transportation attributable to any of these; or (ii) labor strikes, boycotts or picketing (unless the labor action is taken because of an alleged violation of the prevailing wage provisions in this Agreement, if any); (iii) provided, however, that if the breach or default is the failure to pay money, the force majeure must actually prevent access to or payment from a bank account or payment mechanism, such as during a banking holiday, moratorium, or sabotage of wire or automated transfer systems. A force majeure does not include general economic or market conditions, or the financial condition of a party even if they are influenced by any of the foregoing. A force majeure is deemed to cease for purposes of this Agreement and a party is deemed to be in breach of an obligation or cure when it becomes possible for the obligated party to commence to perform the obligation or cure.
