12.1    Force Majeure and Failure of Suppliers.
(a)    Force Majeure. Neither Party will be considered to be in breach of this Agreement if a delay in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder (except the payment of money) has been caused by or is the result of an act of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, embargoes, labor disputes, including strikes, lockouts, job actions, boycotts, fires, explosions, floods, shortages of material or energy, or other unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Party so affected (each an event of “force majeure”). The performance of the affected Party will be extended for a period equal to the period of such delay; provided, however, that affected Party will give prompt notice to the other Party of such cause, and will promptly take whatever reasonable steps are necessary to relieve the effect of such force majeure and resume compliance with this Agreement as soon as possible. Should the event of force majeure continue for a period longer than [*] days, then the Party not so affected may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.3(d).
